THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Annual Report OF the Third Assistant
Postmaster General.

WAsuINoroN, Nov. 14-The annual
report Of the third assistant postmaster
general shows the total cost Of the postal
service for the last fiscal year. the incu-
sive of the amount earned by the subsi-
died Pacific railway companies for mail
transportation, was S3s.l26,004. The
postal money order receipts amounted to
$52 695, l76, leaving deficiency of S5,-
430, ,S28. This deficiency was owing main
ly to the great extension of the free deliv-
cry service and the increase of railway
mail transportation. The statistics OF
letters etc., transmitted for the year,
which are the first statistics ever pub.
lished by the department, are as follows:
Letters mailed. 1.769, SOC, 900; postal
cards, 372, 100000; newspapers mailed,
1,063, 100 900; pieces of third and fourth
class matter. 372, SOC, ,000 total, $685.
100000. The third assistant recommends
in some Of the larger cities an eumatic
tube or an equivalent system Of transport
be adopted; that the present contract for
letter-sheet envelopes be rescinded and as
a substitute for the frankinR privilege,
the members of congress to have an an
nual allowance OF money with which to
pay postage on speeches and the official
matter sent in maiis. ,l.--4,-- ~.

Firm to Strikers.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 14.-A few
weeks ago the cigarmakers employed at
the factory of Roig K Langsdorf, in this
city, went on a strike, owing to some
differences with the firm. The general
executive board of the Knights of Labor
addressed note to Messrs. Roig & Ian gs-
dorf, requesting that the firm meet the
representatives of the National Trade
Assembly, No. 225, so that an amicable
settlement of the difficulty might be made.
To this report Messrs. Roie q Lannsdorf
sent reply to Secretary Hayes. of the
general executive board, in which, after
thanking him for the courteous tone of
his note. they say that they can not see
any reason for conference as suggested
"ln point of fact" their reply continues,
'our employees are satisfied with us, and
we with them, and we are not aware that
there is anything to discuss. Presumably
you are acting on information received
from gentlemen who were formerly In our
employment. who left US without cause
and whose places, voluntarily abandoned
by them, have been filed. Much as we
regret any loss or inconvenience they may
suffer, we are powerless to help them"

He was a man of property. and was we'll
