IT IS INTERNATIONAL POSTAL CONGRESS TO CONVENETHIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON, It In the First Tltne the Congress Has Ever Met In Tills Count ry — Controller of the Treasury's Report Indiana Postmasters Other Washington News. Washington, May 3.- TlieposfaloperBtions of the world will pass in review before one of the niost distinguished bodies that ever met in this country when the Universal Postal congress convenes in this city next Wodir.sday. It is the first time that the Universal Postal union, now comprising and,jp’>ntrolling, bo far as the mails are concerned, every organized government save three—China, Korea and the Orange Free State —has had its delegates assemble in America and the deliberation of its fifth sextennial will be marked by perhaps more pronounced formality than has attended any convention of either national or international scope that has gathered in this country for a long period. The will be 120 delegates each country haying but a single vote. The delegates who will form the congress are men of the highest rank in postal service. The postmasters general of several nations are among them, while leading diplomats have been sent by some of the countries. The gatlu ring will be in Washington from a mouth to six weeks but the congress itself will meet not more than a half dozen times. The real work, save that of ratification of proceedings when the committees report —which belongs to the fullcongress —devolves upon the font committees, at least one of which will be in session practically every day except Saturday and Sunday. The congress will be opened Wednesday morning by Postmastergeneral Gary, who will deliver Ins saluatory in English, while the assemblage reads the French translation. This will occupy a little over five minutes, being a formal welcome. Then the senior delegate will respond in a few words. General George S. Batchellor, ex-minister to Portugal and chairman of the United States, delegation probably will be selected to preside. The business of the congress will begin at once, all proceedings beiiig conducted in French and behind'barred doors. There will be no upset of postage rates, but an increase of rhe allowable weight .for letters is probable, thus making an ounce or three-quarters of an ounce the unit instead of the present half ounce, for which the charge is now 5 cents. The three countries still outside —China, Korea and the Orange. Free State—are expected fc), be admitted before the con- , gross is closed, though the last named has not vet been heard, from on tins subject- ." __ TARIFF BILL. Senator Jones Will Vote to Take It Out of Committee. Washington, May 4.—The tariff subcommittee has agreed' to concede an advance on oranges and lemons, ’providing for a duty on them of a cent a pound. This .is in accoi’daiice with the request of the California growers as presented bv •Senator Jones. There also will be an increase on borax and soda and their preparations, but it, will not be -great as the Nevada senator requested. . -A duty on hides and a slight increase on third-class woi ■ls also are assuredS'enator Jones will certainly vote to take the bill out of committee. He. takes t ie po-ition that she silver Republicans wan rhe bill passed, even though it may nut afford all the protection they may desire, and while he may not get all lie asks, wjll vote to put the bill in the senate. The bill will be presented to the full committee somed ne today, but the present plans do ’ iipt content- I plate giving it to the pi-ess until it shall be presented to the senate. Intlfana Plum-B.

ALBERT G. PORTER. ■, ' - I uineilintc Cause of the ex-Governor’s Death Was I elliilith. i Indianapolis. Muy I. —The death of I Albert G. Porter, which occurred yesterday. is universallymourned by the citizens of this city and state. The immediate cause of the. ex-governor’s death was cellulitis, a phase In 1893 Mr. Porter returned from 1 Italy, whore he had served as minister, having been appointed by President Harrison, and began the preparation of a history of Indiana. It was noticed i then by his friends that old age was fast destroying his former vigorous ami robust constitution. During the winter of 1895 he was returning home one day when he fell in the street and iad to bo carried to his residence. It soon developed that, he was suffering from congestion of the brain. He recovered slowly from the attack, which left him very j weak, and it was necessary to secure an attendant. For two years he has grown more feeble and during the last winter spent his time in the house. About two weeks ago he became too wbak to leave ibis room and on last Saturday night, took a serious turn, from which he never rallied. His passing away was peaceful and apparently painless. His memory had forsaken him in his last hours and he was unable to recognize his children gathered around his bed. The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence, 493 Capitol avenue, north. Albert G. Porter was born at Lawrenceburg. Ind., April 20, 1824. At the age of 15 he entered Hanover college, but his means e. becoming exhausted before finishing his : course, he was about to seek employment when an uncle offered to defray his expenses in taking a course in Asbury university (now DepanWi. Voting Porter ac- i copied the assistance and graduated from that institution in 1843. lie then returnc J t« LawrenceHyg and began the study of law until 1846, when he removed to ibis city and has resided here ever since. In 1853 he was appointed reporter of the supreme court to Illi a vacancy caused by death. The following year he.w;is elected to the office, in 185.8 lie was elected to ’ ' congress from the Indianapolis district by the Republicans, serving four years. He was appointed controller of the currency by President Hayes, and in 18.80 while occupying this position was nominated bv the Republicans and elected governor, 1 i ■IBBB he was ■ dblegare-at-large to the n -■ tional Republican convention and place 1 ; ’ in nomination bis friend and former Ipw partner, Benjamin -Harrison. \\ hen jlr. Harrison was elected he appointed Mr. | Porter minister to Iraly. Mr. Porter was-twiee married. Hisfirst , wife was Miss Mi nerva Brown of this 'city, I to whom he was mai'ried in ISHi. and who Was the mother of his.children. His see- i ond wife w-s Miss Cornelia Stone of Jamestown, who died, childless, in No- , yember, 1885. ! FIGHT AT V'ELESTINO. '\' - . . Greeks Holding Their Own Against the Turkish Troops. 4 London, May .4.—The Times will to-, ■ day print the J’olloiyiiTg dispatch froih ■ j its Volo correspondent dated 3 p. m. ! yesterday: “When I arrived at A eles- . i tino Sunday afternoon I had just seen ■ the TurJtish infantry advancing in two I columns, intending ti> cut the railway. I The Greeks, 12,000 strong, under Geni eral Smoleski, by whose side I watched i the encounter in the rear of the Eighth . regiment, under Colonel Gannikosta, gradually advanced one battalioii to hold the railway, the other to support I the artillery, which had mounted guns on the right center:. iu. “The Seventh regiment of .infantry, under Colonel Regli, advanced, to a low plhteau on the left, where two batteries I were- in position. General Smolensk! I had ordered th" s’leiling to begin when the enemy were well within range, consequently the. guns did not open fire be- ' fore 5:30 p. m. The Turks were, evidently about 14,000 strong? Their cavalry recoioioitered the wood where the Greeks were concealed,-but the batteries remained silent until 5, ami at that time the fire fell -short of being effective, i though rhe Greek practice was this ■ time, the best Dhaye yet noticed. The ! Turkish troops fan away from the shelly, but epntinued to advance in good order. Our right was really never engaged, and I the railway station was defended by i only a small "force, -with two Krupp J i guns. Toward theend. large Turkish center was seen to advance in the distance, but sunset at 6:45, caused a temporary cessation. “The Turks mounted a battery on a hill facing the .Greek left, approached the end of the wood and burned a small : village.

SAME OLD CHESTNUTS. i By making the foreigners contribute from $150,900,000 to $200,(M10,000 annually to get into our market ice emible our own people to run their Inisiness at a ! proJit.—American Economist, Organ of Protective Tariff League, March 26,1897. ft m w I f I t 'll 0 / M Lu tag U.SJfWURY / li fflia’S.W’wt'- ' M® =- Uncle Sam: “Say, Dingley, you might as well comedown. You’re not getting any chestnuts, and you're not fooling voters. McKinley had some experience up that tree—it’s a horse chestnut—in 1890. He pretended that he was making the foreigner pay the tax, but he soon found out what the r< cple thought of him and his bill. The bulk of Americans are both honert and intelligent. The intelligent voter knows that you can’t make the foreign pay his taxes, and the honest voter prefers to pay his own taxes. You can new make your bill popular by such tomfoolery.”

Blaine Opposed a Duty on Hides. The following letter from Secretary of State James G. Blaine in 1890 is supposed to have had great weight with the ways and means committee: Washington, April 10, 1890. Dear Mr. McKinley—lt is a grgat mistake ' to 'take -hides from tile free list, where they have, been for so many years. It is a slap in the face to the South Americans, with Whom we are trying to enlarge our trade. It will benefit the farmer by adaing 5 to 8 per cent to the price of his cr.ildron's shoes. It will yield a profit to the butcher only, the last man that needs it. The movement is injudicious from beginning to end, in every form and phase. I Pray stop it- before it secs light. Such movements as this for projection will pfotect the Republican party into a speedy retirement : Yours in. lily,- James (J. Blaine. ■ Hon. William McKinley, Chairman Ways and Means. I Where is the Blaine this year who | can head off the westerners who want their share of protection and foolishly imagine that they can get it by a duty i on hides? It is perfectly consistent with ' the protection system to tax hides, esI pecially as the bulk of the tax would probably go to a few monopoly butchers and ranchmen. But observe some of the effects up’on our industries: I The importations of untared hides and skins last year were valued at 820,216,528. The goatskins were valued at . $10,303,359. The former were mostly converted into sole leather, beltings and such like heavy material, for which our native hideSmre not thick enough. The goatskins aro not produced in this country. x 1 From this raw material we not only ' manufacture boots, shoes hatlicr goods for our own people cheaper and j better than they are made elsewhere in the world, but we exported finished products of the value of $20,242,756. Without free and cheap raw material ■ this export trade would have been im- ! possible, and our own people,-as Mr. ! Blaine pointed out, would be compelled to pay more for their footwear. The wages paid to dur workers in leather last year amounted to Protecting; the Few Woolgrowers.. Suppose the Dingley duties on wool would give the wool growers all the protection claimed and that the price i of wool would actually go up the full amount of the duty, which, of course, is absurd. What would be the effect upon the country at large?.. Mr. Edward Atkinson, statistician, estimates the annual weol product at .: $55,000,000 out of a total of $13,200,000,900 produced by all the workers of the country and the persons dependent on the wool industry at 300,000 out of i a total population of 73,0(10,M00. The I wool duty then means that out of every 240 persons 239 are to be ‘‘held up” for the benefit of the other one. This is a !_ sample of what protection does. Os course than 300,000 persons may ’ sometimes raise a few sheep, but the interests of these others aro more those of the consumer than of the sheep raiser, and they would lose more because of increased cost of woolens than they would gain by the increased price of wool. i The protective tariff system is a farce when considered in connection with the ' farmer or the workingman. Will they i evbf fully appreciate it? ■ ————————— - | An Odious Tax. The tin’plate makers wish to boom ; their business; by increasing the duty on imported tin plate, to the injury of , the calming industry and other indus- | tries t-liat flourish by reason of cheap i tin plate. Another' ‘blow is struck at j business by abolishing the rebate on exported'tin cans. Now canned goods ex- , ported in cans made of imported tin are allowed a drawback of the duty paid, 1 and thus an export business has been built up in canned fruits, oysters, vegetables, petroleum, etc. Over 4,000,000 j tin cans are sent abroad annually, con- : taining oil which competes with that of , Russia. 'When Russia can buy tin plate at $2.70 a box, while we have to $3. ;’;0 for it, it is < A'i<li 11 1- t In;t our”c(inipetition will be rendered difficult. Mr. Dinglcy robs Peter to pay Paul. —Baltimore Suh. ' Why We Shiver. It is true that woolen clothing, uH-. derwear and blankets will be but of the reach of people of moderate means when Dingley has his way, but just think how sweet it is to suffer for one’s country and to shiver in order that the robber barons may continue to wax fat i and contribute to the “legitimate” expenses of the g. o. p!—Louisville Post.-

Champ Clark’s Wit. Champ Clgrk of Missouri is pot only ‘one of the wittiest men in the house of ; representatives, but he is one of the . best posted on the tariff question. In riuiculing some of the rates of the Dingley bill that to him seemed subject to criticism, he recited how a man of the name of Goodyear went before the ways and means committee and secured the tariff he wanted by some skillful palaver about the great statesmen that , Maine had produced. Then he said: ‘‘Mr. Chaitmau, that piece of ‘soft soap’ made ft harder for every poor | man in the "United States to build a house. Governor Dinglcy swallowed'flie'l bait as quick as a trout would swallow ! a fly [laughter], and next summer some ' poor devil' out west, living in a dugout 100 miles from a railroad station, who voted for- McKinley under the deluded idea that prosperity would come under his administration and who lias not heard of this tariff bill, ci: fc; fs it out that he can build him a two room cottage with lumber and otiier building ‘ materials at the old rate. He goes to the i station to get the lumber and iimis’ that the price has gone sky high, ami he goes, back to his home and . says to his wife: ‘My deaf, I am sorry that we must stay in the dugout. We cannot build our lit- ' tie house. A great man by the name of i Governor Dingley has put the price of lumber and ' other things so high that , we cannot do it, but, thank God, he. i has left, dragon’s blood free. ’ | Laughter. ] Next year, when my handsome friend from lowa (Air, Dolliver) returns to 1 that fine agricultural district which he represents, some man who has not been ■ able to buy a coat because of the high I ' price vof woolen cloth will say to his'; I neighbor, -‘There comes Dolliver, who j put up the price of woolen goods. ’ But ' the successful candidate for the postoffice in that district says, ‘Oh, but Dolliver put divirdivi on the free list!’ And in chorus they sing, ‘Dolliver and divi-divi forever.’” [Laughter. Ap- , plause on the Democratic side. ] . i i Wby Increase the Coal Duty? Under the existing, tariff bituminous ■ cdal pays 40 cents a ton. The Dingley j bill proposes to make-this 75 cents. In ] 1895-6 the imports of bituminous coal i into the United States were 1,243,835 tons. The exports were 2,246,284. The figures for Canada were: Imported from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc., 123,404 tons; from Quebec, Ontario, etc., 39,987; from. British Columbia, I 627,257; exports to these three divisions j respectively, 413 tons, 1,671,302 and ! 3,094. Canada now proposes in case the j Dinglcy rate is imposed to retaliate by | a high duty on our coal, which will ! certainly.not stimulate exports. Here is an export business worth twice as much as the corresponding import business, and it is proposed the risk of ruining the former for the sake of screwing $350,000 taxes out of the latter, and this on the plea of reviving 1 American industry. Can any sane man fail to see that, even assuming that imports (]o not fall off, it is hardly worth while for the sake of a paltry $350,000 to tempt Canada into ruining j an established business nearly twice as large as that which is to yield the tax? Yet this is the way in which ‘‘the old thing works. ” The Protection Umbrella. ” P I li'? il.f ' '■ 'fl) Punctures Mie Theory.

I “The proposed tariff on lumber,” the Boston Transcript (Rep.) says, “is simj ply a measure to pick the pockets and crush the industry of a largo, useful and influential class of American citizens. It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal. The statements upon which this schedule was made up are shown to have been insidious and mislc.*.ing. The result i will be to strip the country not of an annually recurring income, but of its white pine principal, which at present rates is within ten years of exhaustion, and also to ruin a large class of business men in this country who deserve better things.
