MINOR MATTERS.

Proposed Change in the Method Of Paying
for Railway Mail Service.
WASHINGTON Special
The Second Assistant Postmaster-general rec
ommends change in the method of compensat-
ing railroads for carrying the mails. Under the
present law railroads are paid according to the
average daily weight of mail carried both ways.
On account of the many incougruities under
this method of pay, and the unsatisfactory
method of adjusting the compensation a change
Is recommended by the substitution Of a space
basis instead of a weight basis, that is, the conf
panies TO be paid for the amount of space which
IS necessary for the transportation and distrbu-
lion Of the mails 1t is believed that this change
will. without seriously affecting the present serv
ice, make a saving of about S600000 year in
the annual expenditure for railway mail service.
