Greek Pirates.

Recent declarations Of the Greek
newspapers that regular pira,ical or
gani2ation still survives IN some q Inc
more out-of-thc-way parts Of the Medi-
terranean receive certain amount oil
confirmation from the confessions OF
two men arrested in the PiracuS on
charge, of piracy not long ago. The
headquarters Of the band i said 10 be
Avail. and two dozen ships are said TO
be engaged in the business. The scene
of their operations. il i further stated,
is the coast OF Asia Minor and the
island of the Archipelago, and by
means of false papers the booty i
landed in Greece duty free. Cattle
stealing is the chief part of the enter
prise, but il is said that vessels are also
attacked.
Indeed, the prisoners admit that a
short time ago they, in company with
others, attacked Greek vessel On the
coast of Ephcsu>, whose cr,w had gone
ashore for water. killed the captain,
who had remained on board, carried off
the cargo, consisting of fifteen oxen,
and sold the beasts on the high seas.
The plan of the pirates was to rob
outside of Greek waters, and within
them to pose as honest merchants. This
is why they have been able for 80 long
to practice their trade in security under
the very eyes of the authorities. The
alleged piracy evidently has been on Il
small scale and of a most unromantic
character, but the existence of it was
unsupported and thorough inve>iiga-
ton has been sci on foot Detroit

Before the use of postage-stamps va
rious sums were paid for the delivery
of letters. The amounts were rcgu-
lated by the distance, and were col
lectCd on the delivery of the letter
In the early part Of this century the
postage on a single sheet Of paper was
eight cents, and over forty miles the
rate was increased; % that over hive
hundred miles q single sheet was TWEEN
ty-five cents. But after time these
rates were gradually reduced, until in
1910 letter weighing not over half an
ounce was five cents under three miles,
and over that distance ten cents.
Sir Rowland Hill. who was Mt the
head of the post-oilicc department OF
England Mt this time, introduced the use
of postage.stamps in 1910, and also
lessrned the charges for postage. In
1917 the United States adopted the use
of the postagc-stamp, the lowest-priced
one being five cents.
But railway, and steamboats, had now
taken the place Of the old-fashioned
mail-coachrS and po~tboyS; and with
the more rapid sending of the mails
the cheaper rates of postage, and the
growing population Of the country
gradual changes and improvements
took place in the post-oilicc system.
And here we are. in 1892. receiving our
letters from the Pacific coast in six days
also from England in the same time.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
Treasury Officials DO Not Favor the
Foreign Supervision System.

The treasury department, including
Superintendent OF Immigration owen Is not
disposed to accept The suggestions OF the
steamship companies who appeared before
the Joint immigration committee recently.
Treasury officials do not think any System
Of supervision and quarantine at the port OF
departure Is practicable. The treasury de-
partment desires that the Chandler bill sus-
pending immigration become a law. The
superintendent Of immigration Will recon-
mend to the secretary, IN view OF the fear
that cholera msy return, restriction OF I'M
migration from Ma, Ch | 1893. He Will iO!n
the supervising surgcOn-gcnCra raj OF the marine
hospital service in his recommendations that
the term OF suspended immigration be one
year. although Supt. Owen thinks, perhaps,
half that length of time will serve the pur-
pose.
Immigration superintendent Owen said
today: consider that the immigrant has
been great help TO this country. and do
not want to see immigration prohibited, ms
some of our people do at the present time,
but the probable temperance OF cholera
next summer makes necessary restrictive
measures so far rs the immigrant is con-
ctrned.
The interests are too great this year FOR
us to take any chances. We have the Co
lumbar exposition TO look after, aud the
success of this affair depends great deal
upon the hvgienic condition OF the country.
The amount OF travel in this country
and to this country next year will depend
largely upon the assurances the government
Is able to give Of protection against conta'
gion for visitors aud N0yaeefs.
