that when the la.t Congrcjs hc?itated to nuke an aprorriation to carry on the work thu poonlrt alur-g theToutfS whrp thl3 service hti ben established M that rather than to e It discontinued they would pay rut of lhlr own px.ket th extra cost. Happily this wa not necessary, jl Congrrs made an appropriation which, while woefully inadequate, will jrve to continue tho Kxd work already begun in this tilrrction. The myelin of the special agent of the I'tistoflice. Department to-day attarhel to this service develojx-d only one ignittcant lHint and that was that the Innovation Is extrerhely popular and that demands are bing ctn?Lantl7 received from rural districts All over the United States for the etaMlhment of juch a mall service. Indiana and Ohio appear to te iwrtlcularly avaricious for this rural free delivery. In Ohio there. are to-day five hundred Routes thoroughly established and regularly t-erved, and in Indiana three hundred. If the deli.rtmcnt diouid accede to the reiuet.s which come In from thee two States alone for an extension of this service Mr. Heath ays his appropriation would be exhausted within the?e two commonwealths. One of the suggestions made at to-day's meeting was that each reodver of mail be compelled to put up a substantial receptacle for mall matter. It was proposed that the government .should enter Into an agreement with manufacturers of private letter boxes with the view of having on hanl a supply which could be sold to those desiring to purchase at cost figure. Thee boxes would be made of Iron, water proof and bing floured under a government contract ir: large quantities couid be obtained by the citizen at a nominal figure. Assistant Postmaster General Heath addressed the special agents, reviewing the work of the past year and making numerous ;:gsestlorw as to what might be accomplished during the coming fiscal year in the matter of extending the rural free delivery. Admiral Kautz has submitted to the Navy Department his final report of his actions while at Apia on the Philadelphia. He has little to say about the political troubles there, but makes his report of a routine character, touching upon events already more fully described In the press reports. The reports from Samoa on the progres being made by the joint high commission towards a settlement of the disturbed conditions there are received with satisfaction here. As to Mr. Chambers's future nothing has been assured, it he is to take part t the scheme of compromise projected by the commission. It is possible thv administration will provide him another post. It is surmised, however, the chief Justice' retirement will be entirely voluntary. In which case the President would be relieved of the necessity of finding another place for him. Though the commission has abolished the Samcan kingship, out-of-hand. that actlrn Is not necessarily final, and Is subject to tne approval of the three powers. Involving as it does a considerable change in the lieriin treaty. But there Is little, doubt that unanimity will be had. The proposed assumption by each of the treaty nations of the claims of its own mabjects for damages sustained during the recent troubles In Samoa promises to give rise to more discussion than an) other phase of the matter, for while It Is probably acceptable to our goverrment. opposition Is apprehended from another Quarter. Without exact knowledge upon that point. It la believed here the German claims .vastly exceed those of citizens of the United States and even the combined claims of British and American subjects. It Is believed the commission will return to the United States early In August. A reciprocity treaty with Jamaica was concluded at the State Department to-day at a conference between Commissioner Kasson. on behalf of the United States, and Mr. Tower, the British charge. The American treaty Is now to bo forwarded to Kingston for the approval of the colonial authorities; and when this Is aiven the Instrument will be formally signed. The Jamaican tariff commissioner left this afternoon, going first to Ottawa to confer with the Canadian authorities. All parties concerned In the negotiations here have been placed under the

strictest reserve, as k is saiu tne discussion of the details of the convention Just conceded might prove prejudicial In both countries It is known, however, the convention Is under Section 4 of the Dlngley tariff law, providing for reciprocity treaties, and is not a mere "arrangement," as provided for by Section 3 of the act. The concessions given to Jamaica differ materially from those allowed the other British West Indian colonies, mainly because of the recent tariff law enacted by Jamaica, which had special application to the United States. The maximum concession permitted by the law is 2j per cent, on the regular duties, but It is not stated whether the reductions given to Jamaica amount to the full 30 per cent. In seme of the other British West Indian treaties 12 per cent. Is understood to have been the basis of reduction. The latest returns show that Jamaica shiODed to the T'nlted States, last year, goods valued at "J3,4iy.flH. nnd Teceivetl from the United States I4.X9.38.T. This was before the enactment of. the Jamaican tariff law. whjch is understood to have been specially directed tewaras tne American traae. rne trau

The State Department, having had some corespondence recently with United States Consul James McCook at Dawson City, N. W. T.. regarding newspaper charges against him of Improper and undignified conduct, has dismissed the case. The in vestigation satisfied the official that the consul, while, perhaps, indiscreet In the instance complained of, had suffered to some extent from persecution on account of proper official acts on his part. Secretary Alger to-day revoked that por tion of the order of the assistant secretary relating to the proposals for certain ordnance which directed that the award to the Brlggs-Seabury Gun and Ammunition Com pany be annulled and that new bids be In vited. The contract for forty slx-pounders and forty fifteen-pound rapid-fire guns, mounts and ammunition, will, therefore, be retained by the Brlggs-Seabury company. That portion of the order which imposes tbe penalties for delay under their present

contract lor J.w.wo was approved. ... ' The controller of the currency has Issued a call for a statement of the condition of

the national banks at the close of business June 30. Senator Carter, of Montana, called upon the President to-day to present him with formal Invitations to visit Great Falls, Helena. Butte and Missoula when he goes on a "Western trip. The President said he had not abondoned his intention to make a western trip if conditions permitted, but stated that he would not be able to attempt the trip before the middle of August, lis couia not tlx a date and could not say positively that he would go. He could only say FAIR WEATHER TO-DAY.

Thl Ls taken to indicate that the President will start on bis Western trip late In th summer. For the first time In a quarter of a century the business of the bureau of the Postoflico Department tinder the' Jurlf diction of the first assistant postmaster general was yesterday brought up to date at the close of the fiscal year. Every roster of postofflces throughout the country has been completed and dispatched. In the readjustment of the salaries of clerks in postolflces a. new oonlltin vl affairs was confronted. The bill passed by the last Congress grading postotllce clerks fixed a given numLer of each of the various grades, which cannot be Increased or diminished. Heretofore the Krade of a io!:oftice clerk and the salary he shall receive has been subject to the discretion of the first assistant postmaster general. Hereafter clerks in postofilces will be In the portion with respect to their grade and salary that surrounds letter carriers everywhere, with the exception that no postofllce clerk will by fixed law be entitled to receive an increase of salary or change of grade by reason of his seniority of service. The first assistant postmaster general was compelled, under the nw law. to assign new grades for postoftlce clerks with respect to the number of grades at his command rather than the number of grades to which an office might be entitled or the term of service of clerks. In consequence of this new condition of affairs considerable complaint ls being received from postmasters who failed to receive the number of promotions for clerks to which they were properly entitled. Assistant Postmaster General Heath says It will be necessary for Congress, at the approaching ession. In order to do full Justice to postofllce clerks to Increase the number of grades at his command, especially above and including il.2), and applicants for additional promotion and changes of grades will be compelled to await further legislation at the hands of Congress. Postmasters who desire promotions, pending action of Congress, will, of necessity, be compelled to readjust the grades or salaries of clerks borne upon their rosters and to work out their own salvation. Assistant Postmaster General Heath says that every grade has been exhausted. The German government has Issued a memorandum relative to the trade balance between Germany and the United States which shows that In 1M3 the Vnited States imports Into Germany increased by JiiOW.Ow) over those for the preceding year, while Germany's exports to the United States diminished J17.oiO.0i'O in the same time.

Ky., July 1. The report of Special Commissioner Charles F. Taylor in the suit of John L. Dodd and other minority stockholders against the Louisville Uridge Company, the Pennsylvania, the Ualtlmore & Ohio Southwestern and the Louisville & Nashville road has been filed in the Chancery Court. It abounds In sensational charges. The matter has been in litigation since 1837. The minority stockholders claimed that In 1S72 the railroads named as co-defendants had agreod to operate the bridge and pay the stockholders 12 per cent, annually. It was claimed that the dividend was reduced in to 8 per cenL and later to 6 per cent. The commissioner finds that the Pennsylvania Itailroad Company, which is charged with having manipulated all the deals, owes the minority stockholders J2,035.S75, and that henceforth the dividend of 12 per cent, should be paid. The commissioner reports that the Pennsylvania and other Northern roads should pay the Louisville & Nashville ViV'Z, (, awarded some years ago. and that the Pennsylvania should pay $200,(w0 taxes. One of the statements In the report charges fraud In the conveyance of the north approach of the bridge to the Pennsylvania, which worked to destroy the bridge and to do away with the traffic of competing lines into Louisville. t ew Form of Excursion Ticket. CLEVELAND. O.. July 1. The Lake Shore Railroad Company has adopted a new form of ticket for use in excursion business which is designed to beat the scalpers and It wil lbe Inaugurated on the National Educational Association excursions to California. This ticket has on the margin a blank space where the sex, age, height, weight and color of hair and eyes of the purchaser are recorded by means of a punch. The ticket must be presented to the city ticket agent at the other end and be verified before it will be accepted for return passage and must also be signed by the holder. If there is anything wrong in the description of the holder or his signature does not correspond with the original the ticket will be confiscated. The company thinks this device will effectually beat the scalpers. RESCUED FROM KIDNAPERS. Four Children Recovered by Their Father from 31ked Abductors. CHICAGO, July LA special to the Tribune from St. Paul says: George L Frye, of Osakls, Minn., has Just returned from North Dakota, where ha rescued four of his children who had been carried off by kidnapers. Six masked men had stolen the children and were on their way to Canada when Mr. Frye overtook them and at the muzzle of a gun demanded his children.

Mr. Frye is a well-to-do business man and money is supposed to be the object in stealing the children. The children are three girls under ten years and a boy three years of age. EXl'KUT GLZOCiR. AII1 Y Sl'KLLEns. People "Who Decide How Disputed .amri Should He Written. Youth's Companion. The most prominent "class In spelling" In the United States Is the Board of Geographic Names. It consists of ten experts, selected from the various departments and scientific bureaus in Washington, who meet monthly for the purpose of deciding how disputed geographic names should be spelled. Their decision Is adopted by the government for all Its publications, by the text-book writers also, and the newspaper editors usually accept their conclusions. Upon the organization of thte boaru7 In Kv. It adopted certain general principles. These are sometimes carried out by postotnee clerks so mathematlcalry as to bring upon the board criticism it does not deserve. For example, the board decided that wherever it could be judiciously done names of two words, such as middle branch, should be written as one word, middlebranch. This rule, which waa wise when used with good Judgment, became absurd when, in Interpreting it. a postal otficer decided that West Palm Deach should be spelled Westpalmbeach. A compromise has been made an West Palmbeach adopted Instead. Other decisions of the board are that the final "h" in such a word as Itttsburgh should be dropped; also the "uh" In such a word as Marlborough, and the possessive from whatever practicable. The theory of the board ls to secure uniformity and simplicity, not to reform the language. iBHBaMa Greater America Exposition Opened. OMAHA. Neb.. July 1.

Heavy rains fell along the flooded district last night and to-day, swelling the already raging torrents to more dangerous proportions. Repo'rts from the storm-swept district tonight indicate that many lives have been lost, while the property damage to farming lands under cultivation and railroads will reach an enormous sum. Communication was secured to-night with Hearne, a point ninety miles north of Austin, directly on the Brazos river. The entire country for ten miles Is inundated and at noon the river was rising slowly. The work of rescuing settlers from the bottoms in the vicinity of Hearne has been going on ail. day and the town is filled with frightened, halfclad negroes. The refugees report several deaths and in some instances whole families are unaccounted for. The exact number of fatalities may never be known. A dispatch from Dallas says: "Mayor Meredith, of Calvert, In a talk over a longdistance telephone to-night, said: I fear the dead list will ultimately reach thirty or more. There can be no railroad travel o;er the International & Great Northern or the Houston & Texas Central for at least fifteen days. Fred GUbough, of Galveston, connected with the Gulf, Colorado Ac Santa Fe Railroad, reached Dallas to-night. He estimates the loss of all kinds in the State from three to five millions." Situation at and .ear Calvert. CALVERT, Tex., July L The most disastrous storm for several years in this district occurred iast night. The streams and big rivers around here were tilled to their fullest capacity, running over, and everything ahead of them was swept to destruction. The reports came in that the two rivers. Little and Big Brazos, had overflowed and that help was needed. On hear ing this all business houses closed up and everybody went to the rescue of the unfortunates. A number of lives have been reported lost. So far only five bodies have been recovered, all being negroes. A large number of houses in the low.er part of the city are flooded. The railroad bridges at both ends of the town have been destroyed. The mayor and citizens have provided shelter and food for the destitute. It is impossible to get between the two rivers to ascertain the true damage here, but from observation the water appears to be in the lowest place sixteen feet, In the highest place twenty feet deeD. In the Calvert mining camps the water is six feet deep. The damage to property Is Incalculable. It i3 still raining. Later. 1 he rescuing parties are still at work. Yesterday evening a family of four were taken from a tree at the coal mine camps, after having been in their place of safeiy for twelve nours. The convicts who were employed at the mines were carried In boats to Milam county, where they are all secure. At several farms there are nogroes on the roofs. Three negroes were added to the list of drowned to-day. There are probably many more drowned whose bodies will not be recovered until the water faffs. The rain has ceased, but the clouds are threatening. Reports of a tornado near here today are untounded. YELLOW FEVER S1TUATI0N.O Xo Deaths and Only Fire New Cases Two Days. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 1.

The camp at El Morro is on the road to health, no new cases having been reported in a week. One company left the Infected camp to-day for Boniato, and the remainder of the troops will leave to-morrow. There Is no Infection in the city. A party of six Americans on a cattle ranch near the city were poisoned yester day and narrowly escaped death, but all have now recovered.
