Senator Ingalls, talk Nth the Constitu ION
on the negro problem is attracting vide al

Senator Ingalls, asserts that the mulat.o is

Beyond this protection, there is a sentiment

The question Of parcels post between
England and the nited States has again
come up In the former country. The
British postmaster General Mr. Raikes,
was asked II he could arrange such
service, and hc Is quoted "a saying that
he Mad tried 10 do SO. bat that the law Of
the United States was in the way. He
said, however, that hr hoped to overcome
the difficulty 40 that some arrangement
could he made. James Gaylcr, Assistant
Postmaster In New York, was asked this
morning what the law WAS which pre-
vented the establishment Of parcels
post between this country and Great
Britain. lie said that Mr. ltaikes was
probably misunderstood There was no
postal law which would prevent it, aud
Mr.. Raikcs probably referred to the cus-
toms laws. The tariff would prevent the
exchange Of parcels of merchandise, "a
the collection Of duty would be difficult
u large quantities of mail matter Of that
nature were carried. MIR Gayler said
that there was at present a parcels poet
between the United States and Jamaica,
barbados the bahamas, British llonduras
and Mexico. The rate of postage for this
matter Ia l2ctsa pound, aud in addition the
addresses has to paya delivery charge Of
Ave cents for every parcel, and II 1t weighs
more than pound, one cent for every ad

weight OF parcels ia dIed at eleven pounds

our preachers and the Christians have
their missionaries. There is vast field

As a result of the establishment of the
National Experiment Stations in the different
States. there has just been created at Wash
lngton in connection with the Department of
Agriculture, a division of work to be known
as the Bureau of Correspondence, which NAV
be termed in other words Central Experi-
ment Station where the reports and results
of the State stations may be examined, col
lated, diges,ei. verified and again repub-
lished in a more authoritative form The
work of this bureau has been placed in
charge of Prof. w. u. Atwater of Middle
town Conn. Prof Atwater was director
of the frs, Connecticut Experiment Station,
established at Middletown in 1876, and was
for short time connected with our State
College at Orono. He is more than half a
Maine man, his wife being a Bangor lady.
Prof. Atwater has won high distinction as
a chemist BY his recent studies 10 foods, the
results of which have been given in the Cen
fury articles. and have won for him wide
distinction. 1t is to be hoped that any
changes liable 10 occur in the head of the
Agricultural De oar,ment at Washington may
not affect Prof. Atwsters recent acceptance
of this office. as he is gentleman most emf
