System of PostaI-Te!egraPh Service.
WAsHINGro Sept .. The question OF
telegraph rates for Government business
which has been so long pending between
the Post-Ofice Department and the West
ern Union is probably developing into
big Administration project for a postal-tele-
graph system. Mr.. Wanamaker has had
something Of the sort in mind ever
since he became Postmaster neral
He reasons that nothing could be
desired by the Administration OF
more essential service and greater popu-
laritv with thu business classes than a
measure 10 reduce telegraph tolls The
subject has been considered by the Presi-
dent and several OF his advisers 1t is said
they have approved of it The best proofs
that they have lies in the efforts Of Mr.
Wanamaker toward the preparation
OF a feasible plan u present to Con-
gress, for nothing can be done without
an act OF Congress, The broad features
of the scheme are to make postal tele-
graph a semi-public and semi private
svstem-to use the wires aud plant Of the
Western Union and the Postal Telegraph
Cable companies. the ownership OF them
to remain as they are now, and to utilize
the post f1ice stamp and delivery system
for the payment and delivery Of messages.
The tolls, OF course, are to be reduced both
on Government and private business and the
responsibilities TO be shared either by the
payment of Government subsidies or the
purchase OF part interest The details OF
this scheme are only TO be guessed at for
no one who knows viii talk about them
some such plan Mr.. Wanamaker dmits
