The Postal Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-A report of
the proceedings of the Universal Postal
congress, which closed at Lisbon, March 81,
has been received at the postoffice depart
ment. The most important changes made
in the original convention by the congress
were as follows: The use of reply postal
cards was rendered general to the extent
that those countries which do not issue
such cards are bound to return the reply
cards which they receive from other coun-
tries.
Packets of commercial papers and printed
matter will only be forwarded by letter post
on the condition that they are not heavier
than two kilogrammes and do not exceed
forty-five centimetersss in length, depth or
width. The question of ownership Of let
ters in the course of conveyance was de-
cided in favor of the sender to whom the
right was granted to withdraw them from
the postal service so long as they have not
been delivered. This rule does not apply
to countries in which the legisla-
ton is in conflict with the same. The
service of the delivery of letters
by express was introduced into the interna-
tional relations by new article which pro-
vides that: Articles of correspondence of
every kind shall, at the request of the send
ers, be delivered at the domicileS of the ad-
dreSsees by special messenger Immediately
on the arrival in the countries of the union
which consent to undertake this service in
their reciprocal relations at charge fixed
at 80 centimes, which must be paid fully
and in advance by the sender, in addition to
the ordinary postage.

sioner of Pensions Black to-day addressed
that gentleman letter ON the subject of
the appointment of examining surgeons for
various pension boards, in which he points
out the requirements deemed essential in
the selection of examining surgeons. He
says the appointees must be men of per-
sOnal honor and integrity. They must
be men of tried professional
ability and experience, at t'least five years of
active professional practice being essential.
They must be men of diligence, men who
would be unwilling to make slip-shod ex-
animation in any case or subscribe to work of
others. Where the above requisites are COM
bined the commissioner prefers the appoint
ment of men who have been in the military
service of the United States. Boards to
be organized and reorganized," he says,
Twill consist in every case where the above
requisite can be combined of two Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans, it being one of
the aims of the commissioner to strip his
branch of the public service of all
partisan lines, and to render these
boards what they should be-safeguards
to the public treasury, as well as just wit
nesses to the rights of lawful claimants
against the government" Figures to be is
sued at the pension Office on May 1, it is
said, will show that the work of the bureau
during the past month will be considerably
greater than that of any previous one in its

Gov. Oelesby,s Proclama

ST. LOUIS, April 29.-The recent proc
lamation of Gov. Oglesby of Illinois, pro-
hibiting the introduction into Illinois of
cattle from Missouri, has created quite a
commotion in various parts of the state,
and strong condemnation of and opposition
to it is cropping out in all directions, Gov.
Marmaduke has telegraphed Gov.
Oglesby, asking him to recon-
slider his action. An opinion prevails
that Gov. Oglesby's proclamation is without
the authority of law, and 1t is asserted that
if the officers of Illinois attempt to inforce
it, as it now stands, the general courts will
be appealed to for relief. This is based
upon decision of the United States SUI
preme court that no state can make dis
elimination against the admission Of cattle
from other states, and can only exclude
such cattle as prove, upon inspection or
other authority, to be actually diseased.

the insertion of the following remarkable
statement in the New York Times:
''Col. w. r. Morrison says the stories
told about his being in Washington to
fix up the senatorial election in his state are
all bosh, that the election will be settled at
Springfield. ILL.,, and not here, and Mr.. MS
visit has nothing to do with it. Mr.. Nor
rison says he notices that the Associated
Press loses on opportunity to say anything
that will hurt his prospects and he con-
cludes that that corporation must be op-
posed to his election to the senate"

Sensation in the Iron Trade.

will create a sensation in the iron business
were presented to-day in long statement
made by the officers of the AInalgamated
association, in answer to the demand of the
manufacturers for reduction OF
wages. The principal argument,
in support of this demand, has
been. that on account of the low wages IN
the East iron could be produced there for
SO or s12 per ton less than here The
figures presented by the Amalgamated as
sociation are authoritative. They show that
there is a difference of IS. 95 in favor Of the
Western manufacturers. This result upsets
all previous theories, and will be the basis
for the AmaIgamated association fight.
