ISSUING THE NEW Two-CENT STAMPS AND In
NELOPES MILLIONS.


yELoPES BY MILLIONS.
Last Friday the Post ONCE department began
the issue TO postmasterS throughout the country
OF the new two-cept stamp. The stamp will not
so into general use until october lst and the post
masters are given the opportunity between this
time and the last OF the month to lay In a supply
OF the new stamps. The orders from postmasters,
lssused on Saturday from the Post O1ice depart
ment, for stamps, stamped envelopes and postal
cards were the largest ever made. indicating that
the postmasters intend to be up with the process
sion when the change in the rate or postage takes
place. These orders are sent TO the mandatory
In New York, from whence the stamps are issued.
The orders on Saturday were for IS
million OF stamps, million OF stamped
envelopes and six million OF postal cards. f'he
money value OF this immense order was nearly
100000. To-day the orders fell OF and there
were only nine million OF stamps, two million OF
stamped envelopes and little over one million OF
postal cards ordered. significant fact, however,
tnat the orders OF to-day, although largely less
than those of Saturday, represent the same num-
Der OF post offices, which shows that the smaller
Offices are being heard from.
1t is said at the Post ONCE denartment that the
postmasterS Will delay so long In sending in their
reQulSitlonS that II Will be impossible TO supply
all the offices with the new stamps. In many OF
tne smaller of11ceS the pOStmaSterS have probably
not yet heard that there has been a reduc ton In
postage, and their constituents Will continue,
alter october lst TO use the three cent stamps.
OF course the government VIII not object to that
A large number OF the poStmaSterS have supplied
themselves with the Old TWO cent stamps, which
VIII be used concurrently with the new until the
supply is exhausted The further issue of the
Old two cent stamp ceased on Friday.
The department has been furnishing postmasters
with the new stamped envelopes since the LIST OF
september, and as their orders are based largely
upon the orders made by private citizens the en-
veopeS Will be delivered at once. La this way IL
is thought that good many OF the new stamped
envelopes will find their way into local circula-
ton, and the department has Instructed post
masters TO receive them.

partElent this morning for the purpose Of discuss
ing the chances for the relief OF the Greedy party

sion was reached, but 1t is probable that some

l. over After the conference the Secretary OF War

nina as to the 1mpracticablity OF sending relief
expedition this year Secretary Chandler shortly
after the conference sent word to Dr. BeSsells the

to leave his station not later than September and
to move south by boats with the expectation Of

supply OF clothing. This, added to 240 rations
days supplies for the entire part Y. He VIII also
receive at Cape Sabine news OF Garlington'S dis

Cape Sabine on the 18th. as may reasonably be eX-
pected, and crossed to Littleton island, where lie
VIII ma 250 rations more and further news OF Gar
lngton'S continued movements south, it IS hoped
that ne viii be able to continue south to Uperna-
vik, reaching there say in one month, and before

mission supervising the construction Of the new
IRON cruisers now building at Chester, has volun-

words to the friends and relatives OF those COM
posing the Greely expedition. He says there is
still hope that Lieut. Greedy may have reached
Port Fouike late in the season.
