eral Agent of the New York Associated
Press for the past fourteen years, to day
rendered his resignation, and Mr.. James c.
Huested, at present the London Agent of
the Association, was appointed to succeed

full meeting to-day, authorized the execu-
tive committee to express their apprecia-
ton OF his services in the following com
munication:
"The Executive Committee of the Asso-
cisted Press, to whom was intrusted the
duty OF preparing an expression of the
opinion OF the Association in regard to the
voluntary retirement of James w. Simonton

port as follows:
That Mr.. SimOnton has been General
AgeBt OF the Association since November
OH, 1850, ard that in all these years he has
discharged the duties of his responsible and
arduous work with great fidelity to the
several members of the Association and
with general acceptance to The public. Tne
office is one which requires capacity, 10
tegritY and industry, and we have never
found the General Agent wanting ia any OF
these qualities. Mr.. Simonton leaves the
Association with his own free will, and not
at the request or wish OF any of its mem
bers. Iu accepting his resignation, our
best wishes 90 with him for his complete
restoration to health and for his personal
happiness and prosperity in all the future

A BREEZE IN SPAIN.

SNAIL HONEY ORDERS,
The Ingenious Plan Devised by
Postmaster James.

Postmaster General James has hit
upon plan of facilitating the transmits
sion through the mails, at a cheap rate,
of small sums of money. The new de.
vice is an improvement upon the system
of postal orders recently adopted by the
English postal authorities. The i'm
provement consists of three columns of
figures, one to represent dollars, the sec.
ond tens and the third units. Two de-
nominations of these orders are to be is
sued-one for all sums within 50 80, and
the other for all sums within So. The
50 card has four figures and cipher IN
the dollar column and all the numerals
in each of the other columns.
The Postmaster selling the order will
designate the amount to be drawn by
punching the figures in the repective
columns. The orders will be payable to
bearer and the post Office will not be re.
sponsible for their safe delivery any
more than for fractional currency, for
which they are intended as a substitute.
Both sets of orders are to be printed on
bank note paper, to be finely engraved
and other precautions taken against
counterfeiting. 1t is expected that
the department will be able to sell them
at from ? to 3 cents for 50 90 order,
and from to cents for a s. order.
The postmaster will enter the amount of
the order in writing on a stub. which
will be the only check the department
will need. and will contain only the
amount of the order, the date of issue
and the name of the Office upon which
the order is drawn.
This will do away with a great deal of
clerical labor, since the names Of the re-
mitter and payee will not be entered at
all in the records as is done in money
order transactions, nor will any advices
be issued. In order to prevent the use
of the postal orders as currency they are
to be redeemable only for three months
after date of issue. The bill intro
duced by Mr. Money at the last
session of Congress providing for a re-
ductiOn of the charges for money orders
and allowing an increase of amounts that
may be sent through the mails from $50
to $100 will be reintroduced next winter.
1t met the approval of the Post Office
Committee last winter, but Mr. Money
did not get chance to report it. The
reduction of charges will be about one
half, and the passage of the bill will be
coupled with measures looking % the
adoption of the system explained above
In this way the two systems will sup.
plement each other, money orders being
available as now for any purpose, and
the small orders being for service for
newspaper subscriptions and for other
purposes for which fractional currency
was formerly used. The reduction in
the price of money orders will also make
the price of safety but a trifle more than
that which it will be necessary to pay for
the proposed new postal orders, with
their attendant risks.
