Social and Other Changes Likely to Result
from the New Procedure Rules.
Special to the India-apoIfs journal
LONDON, Feb. 26.-Ths new rules of proceed
nre the first of which will go into operation in
the House of Commons Tomorrow, are of vastly
more significance than their collective title i'm
plies, the change made by their enforcement
affecting not only the members of the House
but the whole social fabric of aristocratic London.
The rule frightening the sittings at both
ends involves the overthrow, for the present at
least, of many of the traditional laws of society
with regard to lunchaons, teas, dinners. ETC.,
and consequently the adoption of new rules of
procedure in other than parliamentary circles.
The ease with which Mr. Smith obtained the
assent Of the House to the procedure rules was
due in great measure to the cooperation of
Mr.. Gladstone, bnt the theory that they will
prevent distractions untenable. The OBJ

mits that they inadequate to the pu rpose
for which they were avowediy framed and

adopted whereby the majority is in absolute
control of debate, the last state of the House of
Commons will he found to be much worse than

When President Cleveland returns from his
Southern journey it would bs well for him to
take Postmaster-general Dickinson to one side
and tell him there is a great opportunity for
him and the administration improving the
mail service throughout the country. This
President might point out to Mr.. Dickinson

There is wide for improvement in the eff
cheney of the postal service, and that not only in the
journals in the South and West, while demanding
increase of efficiency in their sections before reduc

satisfied with its service since it asks for reduction
Of rates The reverse is the case Take for example
there shown in the petition to the Postmaster
eral, prepared early last month by the Boston Msr-
chants Association.
Perhaps the Generalization OF the railway
mail service, consequent upon the dismissal OF
hundreds of veteran clerks to make way for
Democrats with no recommendations other
than some Conersssman's favor, may
cunt for the delay in the delivery of the
mails. 1t is service which has Thousands
Union from the Canada frontier to the Mexican
border, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. By
some oversight it was not included in the opera
tions of the civil-service law, and is of the
few great divisions of the public service in which
the spoils seeker may range unchecked There
is a bill before Congress which proposes
to put the railway mail service under
the civiservice act as part of the
classified civil service. Such q reform
would. We believe, reform the service itself,
and make it even better than it four years
ago. More trains will not wholly solve the diff
fculty if the force that mans tho postal cars is
unequal to the task of handling tons of letters
and papers rapidly and correctly. Our business
men would find it wol worth while to investi
gate the management and organization of the
railway mail service as it is to-day.

DIAMONDS ON MEMORANDUM.
A Trustful Habit that Has Long Been In
Vogue Among Jewellers.


New York sun.
An item appeared in the Sun, few days ago,
announcing that Inspector Byrnes's men were
looking for q young diamond broker who had
obtained = large quantity of diamonds from
Maiden Lane firm ION memorandum" and. it
was supposed, HAD left the city with no intention
of returning. To the misinformed eye of
Sun reporter who read the item the
words ION memorandum" seemed to imply
that in getting the diamonds the absconding
broker had practiced some sort of fraud or de-
ception upon the Maiden Lane firm. He was
some what surprised to learn upon investigation
that tho transaction was perfectly regular one,
and that it is the custom IN the jewelers. trade

''The .custom is peculiar to trade" said a

Wholesale diamond merchants here thus

A Strange Cause OF Death.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Feb. 25.--John S. Gregg,
of No. s1218 West Front street. died to-day under
the most peculiar circumstances On Thursday
last, while suffering with severe cold, he blew
his nose with such vigor that he caused most
sewers rupture of tho abdomen. His physician
was summoned, and, recognizing the severity of
his patients injury. called a consultation with
four leading physicians, and an operation was
deemed necessary. This resorted to early
this week, but the internal injuries Gregg had
sustained were OF such nature that medical
aid could not avail in saving his life.
