An error appears in last evenings Adver-
tiser in reference to the collection of postal
dues. The statement was there made that
Postmaster General Wannamaker had noti-
fed postmasters that letters on which pos
tage had not been prepaid should be for
warded to their destination and the postage
collected from the recipient. Postmaster
Palmer says the Postmaster General cannot
do this since an act of Congress REQUIRES the
prepayment except in cases of drop letters,
