Captain Brooks, Superintendent Of For
Gig, Mails, Talks About the Meeting
of the Postal Union at yienna-The
Principal Event of the Convention.
Other Matters of Interest.
WASHINGTON. Aug 12-Ihe superin-
tendent of foreign mails. Captain Brooks,
has returned from Vienna where he
was III attendance as a delegate to the
International Postal convention There
were. he says, delegates present from
every civilized country, except Natal
and tie 1ransvaal He believes That by
the time Of The next conl enti0n. which
meets here in 1897, every civilized coun-
try will be III postal union.
The principal event Of the Vienna
convention was the admission Of the
Australian countries. They agreed to
come III on Oct. /, this year, provided
the international postal rates We're nol
reduced They claimed they could not
stand a reduction. The present rate
between this country and Australia is
II cents, and from that country to this
the rate is Jixpence half ounce. This
country will at once reduce the rate to
D cents Australia may keep its rate at
10 cents, but it is likely it will reduce if
at once to cents.
Another matter of interest is the
change il the size Of sample packages
of merchandise which may be sent
through the mails to and from countries
in the Union. The present treaty limits
such packages to 3x4x2 inches. The
oN4 lncle5, almost double the old limit.
Yet anchor measure of public inter
est is included in the new treaty. That
is clause requiring each country in the
union, after July /, 1862, to issue a
double postal card for foreign service.
A double postal card for foreign use
will cost cents, the writer indites his
message on one of these cards. puts the
address on the same card. and mails
the combination. When the addressee
receives it he tears off the card not
written upon, writes his reply on it; adj
dresses and mails it. Any country i'll
the union will be required to forward
the card. and the country in which the
double combination card was bought
will receive the benefit of the postage
both ways. The new treaty. which is !
goes into effect on July 1, 1892, was con !
cluded and signed on July a. Wasting |
ton was made the next place Of meeting
without an effort, and without the dele /
gates asking for the honor.
