WANAMAKER'S PLAN,

He Contemplates, It IL Said, Founding /,
syrtem Of Postal.Teiograph Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-The question Of
telegraph rates for Government business
which has been so long pending between
the Post Office Department and the West
ern Union is probably developing into a
big Administration project for a postal-tele-
graph system. Mr.: Wanamaker has had
something of the sort in mind ever
since he became Postmaster-GeneraL
He reasons that nothing could be
desired by the Administration OF
more essential service and greater popu-
larity with this business classes than a
measure to 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 feasible plan to 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 sem1-public and semi-private
system use tho wires and plant of the
Western Union and the Postal Telegraph
Cable companies, the ownership OF them
to remain as they are now, and to utilize
oA0 POoV- AAOo OeesAP oAA N0AAVOAy
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 a part interest The details OF
this scheme are only to be guessed at for
no one who knows will talk about them.
Some such plan Mr. Wanamaker dmita
wasconstdered by him and DR.. Norvin Green,
president Of the Western Union Company,
attheir conferences of Friday and Saturday.
But more he would not say. Dr.: Green
and MI. Wanamaker were joined Saturday
by John W. Mackey, president and chief
owner of the Postal Telegraph Company,
and the whole business was talked over.
DR.. Green in general way admitted thu
truth of the foregoing statements, and Mr.
Mackey, who was also seen, would not deny
them.

The German steamship Argentine,
which arrived in port few days ago:
had curious experience in her passage
across the Atlantic. When north of the
Cape Verde islands the sun suddenly
became obscured by clouds of small red
dish yellow dust, which covered every
thing. Though the sky was cloudless,
the sun could scarcely be seen. This
lasted four days, and at times the dust
was so thick that it interfered with the
machinery of the vessel.
