A semi-oMicial communi- cation in the North German Gazette, repudiates any design to isolate France or to interfere with Russian commarce, but the palpable rosult of the zollecfer in placing the partics to the compict in advantageous vosition for tho nogotiation of commercial treaties with foreign states is dwelt upon. If M. Ribot suceeads, through his confer- enco with M. de Giers, in offecting an economic entente botween the two countries, it will greatly add to the repute of both statements. M.

WasHiNaToN, Aug.« .~Captain Brooks, superintendent of foreig mails, bus just re- turned from Vienna, where he was in attend- ance as a delegate to the international postal convention. There were, he says, delegates present from every civilized country except Natal and the Transvaal. He believes that by the time of the wmext convention, which meets here 1n 1807, every vivilized country will be in the postal uniou. The principal event of the Vienna conve:i- tion was the admission of the Australian countries. They agreed to come in on Octo- ber 1, this year, provided the internitional postal rates were not reduced. Thoy Slamed they could not stand a reduction, The present rate between this country and Australia is 12 cents and from that country to this the rate 15 6 penco a half ounce. This country will at_once reduce the rate to 5 cents. Australia may keop its rate at 10 cents, but it is likely it will reduce it at once to b cents, Anotier matter of futerest is tue change in the size of samplo packagos of merchandise which may be sent through tne mails to and from countries in the union. The present treaty limits such packages to 3x4x12 inches, The new treaty wmcereases the limit to 12x8x4 inches, almost double the old limit. Yet another measure of public interest is included in tho new treaty. That is a clause requiring _each country in the union after July 1, 1892, to issue a double ostal card for the forcign service. A double postal card for foreign use will cost 4 cents, the writer indites his mes of these cards, puts the address ou_the same card and mails the combination. When tho L‘mdrl's«“l) receives it he tears off the card not written upon, writes his reply on it, addresses and mails it, - Any country in thé union will be roquired {o forward the card and the country in which the double com- bination card was boaght will receive the benefit of the postage both ways, The new treaty which is to go into effect July I, 1802, was concluded and signed July 4, Washington was made the next place of meeting and without an effort. - LIKELY age on one TO A Dissatisfaction Amo of the sante Toreks, Kan., MEN 'RIKE. the Employes Shops at Top ka. Aug. 0.—The grievance commijtee of the striking Sante Fe boiler- mukers was closeted yesterday afternoon witn General Manager Robinson, but av ad- journment was taken without any com- promise being effected. Neither side is w Ing to make known its intentions, but the in- dications point to a general strike of the 2,000 employes in the Sante Feshops. General Manager Robinson does not seem in- clined to make any comcessions what ever to the strikers, who have the sympathy of all the other employes. Master ~ Mechanic Smith says there bus been more or less difficulty over the question of paving time and bhalf for over- time for the last fourteen years. There was dissatisfaction over the matter long before the present officers were put in charge, The same difficulty has existed in other depart- ments, and this is the reason given by the workmen for believiug they will strike, = Mr. Robiuson said plaiuly that the company could not and would rot piy a price and a half for a day’s work.
