THE TIME HAS NOT ARRIVED
0ne-Cent Letter Postage Not Likely to Be
Adopted for Some Years to Come.
Mr.. Wanamaknr Saws 1t Would Cause a Large
Loss of Revenue, and that the Scheme
Would Be lmpracticable at Present
ONE.CENT LETTER POSTAGE.

Postmaster-G General Wanamaker Says It 10
Impracticable at the Present Time.
sreciaI 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. April PA strenuous eff
fort is being made by persons interested in
the passage of the bill recently introduced
in the House by Representative Post. OF
Illinois, to reduce letter postage from = to
l cent an ounce. A circular has been dis
tributed broadcast, and has been received
by nearly every member of the present
Congress. stating that 104 members have
promised to vote for the bill. and urging
non-committed members to support it. The
circular has been sent to people in all
doubtful congressional DISTRICTS. asking
that their Representatives be instructed to
| vote for tho measure.
In response to requests from the House
committee on postOffices and post-roads as
to the effect of one-cent postage Postmas-
ter-general Wanamaker has answered that
the estimated revenue from domestic man
matter OF the tirst-class, chargeabIe with
postage at the rate OF two cents for each
ounce or fraction thereof. mailed during
the year ended jun SO, 1890. was $3s. 06S.-
lg1. which amount was equal to 62.5 per
cent. of the total revenue of the depart
ment. There has since been no change in
the rates of postage. or in the conditions
affecting the revenue. and it may be as
sumed, he believes, that the proportions of
different classespof matter shown Will ap-
ply at the present time. The total esti--
mated revenue of ,Tshe department. for the
current year has been $72. III. 800. of which
amount 4 .4S5. 719 has been received
from first-class matter. The reduction of
the rate from 2 cents to l cent would, in the
opinion of the Postmaster general. be fol-
lowed by a corresponding loss of S22, TAP. 30.
Mr.. Wanamaker thinks that while il may
reasonably be expected that the stimulus
of lower rates would result in something
more than q normal growth of the business.
it is not probable that the revenue derived
from the extra business would, at the pres
emit time. compensate for the loss incurred
through q reduction of rate. The Post
master general is in favor of q reduction of
letter postage at the proper time. but he
does not believe it has yet arrived. and he
will consequently oppose any contemplated
change ON the ground that it is Impractical
BILE.

Mrs. Burnett tells me the public and
newspapers have made a mistake IN sup
posing that she took the character from
her elder son Lionel. the boy who died, and
that the real original was Vivian. She
told me that Lionel furnished here and
there a paragraph in the work. but that it
was Vivian's personality that led her to
imagine how interesting such a boy would
be in fiction. and that Little Lord Faunt-
leroy was in fact a vivid reproduction OF
HIM and his savings. 1t will be interest
ing for the people to know that the
genuine Little Lord FauntlerOy is still
alive. and that he is very much alive, too.
He is now O boy of about fifteen or sixteen
years of age, and is as bright and manly q
young fellow as you will find at the CAPT

THE CAPTIVE STOCKMEN.
How They Appeared When They Arrived at
Fort Russell-A Bold Looking Gang.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 24-Mnjor Egg
bert, in command of the Seventeenth In
fantry, which relieved three COM
panies of the Sixth Cavalry from
Fort Mckinney as guards of the captured
stockmen. designated z o'clock this morn
ing as the hour for the party to start for
Fort Fetterman. The Governor expressly
stated that the train should not move ex-
cept during daylight. All the men slept
in the cars last night. The special was
preceded by q pilot engine and
caboose. the latter filled with
q construction crew and tools to repair
and possible damage which might be done
to the tracks. Two men. with field glasses,
were stationed in the lookout of the
cab0ose to carefully scrutinize the
road for breaks. Their position
was reached when all chance OF danger
was believed to be passed and the lookout
was suspended. 1t was inst 3:55 O'Clock In
the afternoon when the train slowly pulled
crowd of several hundred people waiting
to receive them.
The baggage of the outfit was first IN
loaded on the platform and then loaded
into the heavy government wagons. This
done. the twenty Texans stepped forth
upon the platform and stood in q group,
guarded by the soldiers and waiting
orders. They are all young-loOking men.
but they looked very tough, their recent
experience giving them the appearance of
q hard gang of citizens. They were bold,
daredevil looking fellows. who seemed
perfectly uncOncerned at what was
Transporting. The last to appear were the
c%attlemen. twenty-five in number, who
came forth with Major Wolcott and James
Irving in the lead. They looked tired and
worn. Stubby boards of four weeks
growth adorned their faces, while their
clothing did not contribute much
to improve their appearance. The
exams were first marched away. guarded
on every side by soldiers. and conducted
to the post b~0wling-alley. where quar-
ters were arranged for them. Sew
eral hundred yards behind waited the
cattlemen. with soldiers walking In their
rear. The Texans went together In a body
and filed into the bowling-alley. while the
cattlemen remained near the front. The
captives wonld not talk very much, except
about their journey down.
