PACKAGE BOXES.

The pOstmaSters in some of the East
ern cities are wisely providing large
iron boxes to receive packages. These
boxes are placed at the corner of prom
lnent streets just as the letter boxes are,
and so arranged that when package is
once put in it cannot be taken ex-
cept by an official. The convenience of
this arrangement and the accOmmoda-
tlon 1t affords the public are so apparent
1t is wonder that pOstmasters in all the
larger cities do not do the same thing.
There are an immense number of pack
ages sent through the mails from
every city. Here in st. Paul our
merchants supply large country in
this way. About the holiday times the
people of all classes are sending away
Christmas and New Years souvenirs.
The mail carriers are exceedingly ac-
eommodating, but they should not be
made pack horses of. The poStoffice
department should provide package
boxes, and have wagon or cart to go
around at stated hours to gather up
their contents. Under the present ar
rangement, if person wishes to send
package through the mails he has to
rely on the accommodating disposition
of the carrier on that route to bring it to
the postOffice for him or take it himself.
1t is no uncommon thing to see pack
ages piled up Oh top of the letter boxes,
and just about as common thing to see
them blown or knocked off and trampled
in the snow. This is an opportunity
now for Postmaster LEE to inaugurate
his new administration with reform
that will be striking for its popularity.

NICHOLS ALMOST VICTORIOUS.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 11.--A special TO the
States from Baton Rouge says: "All hopes
of the nomination of third man are gone
The refusal of Col. Jeffries TO come over TO
the anti-Nichols faction has left but one
available candidate-Mr. Cunningham. His
delegation will support him for Governor,
but will otherwise go in for Nichols. The
fight now hinges on the rest of the ticket.
Threats are being made by
several parishes that in case they
do not get representation on the State ticket
they will not assure a majority in their
parishes for Nichols. The Nlchollsites have
been caucussing for ticket, but thus far
have been unable to elect one. 1t is
rumored they will offer the anti-Nicholls side
two places on the ticket, those of Auditor
and Superintendent of Public Education.

LABOR AGAINST LABOR.

Painters Trying to Drive Hard Wood
Finishers Out of Business.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The trouble between
the mouse painters and hard wood finishers,
which Mr.. Barry, of the General Executive
Board of the Knights Of Labor, was sent to
Chicago TO investigate, is assuming such an
acute form that strike is not improbable.
The strike would be by one labor organiza-
tion against another, the painters wishing
TO drive the hard wood finishers out of the
business. A question of national interest
entres in the fight, inasmuch as most of the
furniture workers, including the hard wood
finishers, are Germans or Scandinavians,
while the painters are largely Irish. The
painters want to do all the hard wood fin
ishing on buildings and to confine the men,
bers Of the Hard Wood FInishers' Assembly
TO furniture work IN factories, which the
painters are not skilled enough to do.

FIGHTING FIRE IN A FREEZE.
The Men Of the Chicago Fire Depart

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.--After the firemen
thought the fire at the corner of Madison
street and the river was under control this
morning, a section of the roof caved in and
crashed through all the foors Flamss
shot downward and in an instant the entire
stocks on the first floor were all ablaze
This floor, with it's valuable stocks of silks
and costly merchandise, was gutted, involv-
ing further loss of upwards
of $4,000. The firms burned
out on the first floor were: j. S.
Griffith & Co, importers of tailors' trim
mings; the Nonantum Worsted Company;
the Nonatuck Silk Company, and the Cor
ticeli Spool Silk Company.
The total loss by the fire will reach $500, 900
The night was intensely cold. The firemen
were greatly hampered by heavy coatings
of ice, which rendered their movements
slow, and it seemed almost an hour before
they fairly began to work. A high wind pre-
vailing prevented the solid streams of water
from reaching above the second floor and
this had considerable to do with the spread
of the flames upon the upper floors. After
two hours hard fighting, however the
flames were considered under con-
troll Several of the firemen were com
pletely overcome by the dreadful cold and
were carried into the Gait House TO be
thawed. Their garments were covered with
ice several inches in thickness and were so
thick and clumsy as to render movement
well nigh impossible

PEsTH, Jan. lin the lower House Of
the Hungarian Diet to-day Herr Helfy sub
mitted an Interpolation as to whether the
government has addressed inquiries to
Russia in regard to the cause for
and the object Of the recent un-
expected Russian military prepara-
tion: whether Austria had adhered
unswervingly to the programme it laid
down in 1886 regarding Bulgaria; whether
the government did not consider 1t advisable
to take the initiative in summoning an in
ternatioual conference TO settle the Bull
garian affair in the sense of the programme
of 1886, and whether in event the sincere
efforts now being made TO maintain peace
did not succeed. Austria might count upon
the alliance Of Germany and Italy.
Herr Perezel asked whether the govern
rnent did not consider it expedient to cate
gorically demand that Russia shall not only
discontinue her armaments, but shall also
reduce her troops on the frontier TO dimen-
