to respond in body. The ArapahoeS

OLD WORLD NEWS.
Praising the New viceroy.

DUBLIN, July 22.-Sir Charles Gavan
Duffy has written an open letter, three
columns long, to the Earl of Carnarvon, the
lord lieutenant. The letter is one of con-
graduation to the viceroy for his adoption of
an admirable and upright policy toward
the queens subjects in Ireland. Sir Charles
submits to the lord lieutenant that if the
Marquis of Salisbury'S cabinet undertakes
to restore Ireland's control of her own local
interests and to accord her the same kind of
independence as that enjoyed by the British
colonies, not single Irish member in the
next parliament will refuse to support the
programme of his government. The res
toration of the Irish legislature Sir Charles
declares, is the only measure that will ever
succeed in rendering the Irish at home and
abroad cOntented.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-PostmasterG Cen
eral V Nilas to-day said that he had no inten-
tlon of reconsidering his decision against
distributing the S400, 900 appropriated by
congress for the transportation of mails in
American steamships. In regard to the
threatened termination of the Australian
service by the Pacific Mail Steamship
company at the expiration of the
contract term October next. he
said that while he was disposed
to be in favor of American Steamship
lines where he could consistently, the de
partment would have no difficulty in for
warding the Australian mails as fast as on
the schedule that is now in use. and more
over the service would be more frequent
and cheaper. At present the Australian
mails leave San Francisco once month.
and letters written just after the departure
OF a steamer lie in the postoffice nearly a
month. BY the Suez service these letters
would be sent at short intervals and would
reach their destination in less time than at
present.

Edward Wagner, were working. The
men were blown about 400 feet and
horribly mangled. Flames from the first
building set ire to the mixing house, caus-
ing a second explosion. The glaze house,
in which was stored 100 kegs of powder,
next caught, but the fire was eXtinguiShed
by Mr.. johnson and his employees. No

Catfiemen 10 be Ousted.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-After mature
consideration the president and cabinet have
reached the conclusion that the leases of
lands in the Indian Territory held by cattle
men are invalid, and it has been determined
TO take steps TO have them set aside. Gen.
Sheridan has reported that no permanent
settlement of the Indian troubles in the ter
ritory can be effected while the cattlemen
are in possession of the best lands, and it
is the intention of the president TO
remove the disturbing elements and reserve
the Indian Territory for the exclusive Occu-
patton of Indians. The method OF pro
eedure has not yet been determined. A
presidential proclamation may be issued,
but 1t is regarded by well-infOrmed people
as more probable that actions will be begun
in the United States courts of the western
division OF Kansas, which has jurisdiction
over the territory, looking TO declaration
of the invalidity of the leases.

A CaffIe OmRaH1.

A news paragraph in San Antonio,
Tex, paper contains the following: Last
Monday the cattle queen again dropped in
on the astonished sight of the San Anton
ians and put up at another of the first-clasS
hotels. 1t is said she had been to San Mar
cos, where she had perfected the purchase of
100, 900, 900 acres of grazing lands in Mex
leo. This she intends to stock
with high-grade cattle. The well-knOwn
fine stockmen, Capt. Tuttle and Mai. Buz-
zard, are accidentally taking then hash at
the same hotel. They are always on hand
when there is anything in the shape of a
trade in the wind. Last night she blinded
the eyes of the cattle kings in front of the
Southern hotel by dash in a hack. 1t is
suggested that the Southern Live Stock as
sociatiOn give her grand reception, max
ing her an honorary member. Why can't
there be one queen among so many kings?
Last evening she called to see her dress
maker, and lefta solitaire diamond ring ly-
ing on the table. The dressmaker discov-
cred the valuable jewel and asked one Of
her assistants to wear it for Safekeeping
until the queen could be notified of her loss.
When told of it she looked at her sparkling
fingers, and in meditative, doubt
ing mood said: 'Dear me, be-
lieve L did leave one of my
rings. Never mind; I'll call for it." But
at last accounts the dressmaker's assistant
was dazzling the eyes of her friends with
the brilliant sparkle. A Light reporter
was shown the S150 dress in process Of
construction. The foundation and first
story were of velvet front, bright, rainbow
colored knotted ribbon corners, with sides
and rear of brown, smooth-faced. close
jointed ruffle work. The plans for the
upper story were not accessible, but ne
was assured that it was the most elaborate
ever erected in San Antonio. The archl-
| tect will be immortalized. The lady incl
dentally remarked to fellow-guest at the
hotel that she believed she had mission
| to prove to her sex that the de-
pendence of men for support and protec-
ton was entirely useless. All that LADIES'
needed was a little more confidence IN
themselves and they would be entirely in
dependent of the ''horrid men,"
The queen leaves for Galveston tonight
for a short season on the beach, but Will re-
turn again to Alamo City. She says that
this is the most uncongenial point in the
state, as it is the headquarters OF all the
large stockmen of the Southwest.

tionary Office was a slow process. While
the work was moving slowly on the time
was flying and so were the railroad cars,
but the mail was standing still in the same
place. Twenty years ago it occurred to
somebody that the final distribution could be
done on the railway cars while the mall was
moving along to its destination, and then
the work was removed from the
distributing offices. Railway postal clerks,
OF, as they were then called, route agents,
took their places. The result is that all
the mail is distributed for all the various
offices before leaving the cars. For this
work, it requires 4, 900 or 5000 men. But
it assures accuracy and dispatch. for the

Efficiency of the Mail Service.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, July superintendent
Jameson, the head of the railway mail SER
vice, gives some interesting facts in a
recent statement here about the railway
mail service of the country. ''Do you
know" he said, THAT at pres
ent more than 120 tons of
mail matter leave New York City
every day; some years ago, when good
deal of the distribution was done in the
city offices, the work fell behind and there
was a great accumulation of paper mails on
certain days of the week. The department
then arranged with the publishers to
arrange their mails by states,
ans by this means the block was en-
tirely overcome. At present one-half of the
newspaper mailreceived at the New York
Office for distribution, passes through it in,
tact TO the railway postOffice cars" How
long has the railway mail service in its pres
ent system been going On?" About twenty
years. Formerly, certain postof1ices, deS-
ignated for the purpose. used to re-
ceive and collect the mail, both in
large parcels and separate packages,
from various points, for particular regions
of country, and then distributed them for
the various places TO which they were ad-
dressed. These were called distributing
offices, and served as landmarks to guide
the course of mails TO distant points. They
received them in bulk from the mail
ing offices, and after asserting them
with regard to their respective
destinations, dispatched them by
rail, in charge of the bagga ge-
master. This system of asserting in a sta
