POSTAGE ON MERCHANDISE
Proposed Reduction by Consolidation of
Third and Fourth Glasses.

WAsH1NGroX Cry, March 81. - Mr..
Crosby of Massachusetts, member of the
House committee on the postoffices and
postroals, said today:
One OF the most urgent and necessary reforms
in the postal service, in my opinion, is that
which will come from the proposed legislation
which provides for the consolidation of third
and fourth-c!ass mail matter, so all articles now
recognized as and called ''merchaudise" shall
be transmitted through the mails as third-elass
matter at the rate OF / cent for two ounces,
thereby making q reduction OF Just one half of
the present rate. So firmly have / been con-
WINGED OF the necessity for this change that I
have introduced two bills in the House OF Rem
resentatives which will accomplish the desired
result These two bills are now pending before
our committee. One of them is precisely ths
same bill that has been acted upon fayorably
by the Senats COMMITTEES on postofiees and
postroads within few days.
The reasons for this change in existing law
are many. In the first place the change will oh.
yiate the confusion and unjust discrirn-
inarion which exists in the postal service
and will simplify the work of postoriee
officials, who in many cases are unable TO dis
tingui,h whether given article belong. To the
third or the fourth class: from the very naturs
of things ii is absolutely impossible to deter
niue accurately in many cases to what class
mail matter belongs. And 40 the postoffee OIL
cisls have no end of trouble in determining To
which class certain articles properly belong IL

The Pension once Investigation.

WAsHINroN City, March 24.-The PEN
sion investigation committee this morning
examined large number of papers from
the official files of the interior department,
among them an Endorsement and recon-
mendation, signed by Senators Cullom
and Farwell and Greenbaum, of Examiner
Taylor. against whom Raum later brought
charges. Commissioner Raum was called
to the witness stand, and, having said he
did not approve Secretary Mobiles action
in his (Raum's) sons case without giving
him fair trial, Enloe asked what he
thought of his own action in discharging
seven special examiners without fair
trial. The commissioner replied:
He believed they were furnishing information
TO newspapers, 10 one Fleming, a newspaper
writer, who wrote articles tending to injure
him (the commissioner. Speaking of having
asked for the retirement Of General James
Dugan from position in the pension Office, wit
ness said that Dugan had made remark to the
effect that Lemon was commissioner and Raum
his deputy. This witness regarded as disre-
spectful. When senator Palmer of Illinois came
to him in behalf of Dusan, he Raum) said lie
had no personal feeling against Dugan. and if
the latter would make suitable apology he
would bring tho matter before Secretary Noble
with view to reinstatement Later, however,
he was shown letter written by Dugan to a
newspaper assailing General Bussey, and the
matter OF reinstatement was dropped.

| would take too long for me to recite the many
| Instances OF absurd, meaningless and unwar.
rantcd distinctions which are made with refer

designated as third or fourth class matter
Besides the simplitication of the service there

law should be changed and uniformly estah

great beuefit that will come to the people OF
every station in life by reason OF the cheap and
expeditions mode OF transmitting small pack
ages all over the United states, not only afford
ing means OF sending packages to places where
there facilities for transportation by ex.
press companies, but also making the trans-
mission of packages by mail much cheaper than
by express. The reduction in fourth-class mat
ter, it is estimated, by the union OF the two
classes and carrying the mail OF both the pres
ent classes as mail of the third class two ounces
for cent?, would cause a loss OF about $780,
600; yet the great gain by reason of increased
business in this line would much more than
overbalanee the loss, and would on the other
hand in my Judgment, materially increase ths
total receipts OF the government Ny bill has the
Endorsement OF the postmaster general, who IL
heartily and earnestly in favor of its passage,
and he is authority for the statement that tbers
will be no reduction in the revenue by its adop-
ton. Nobody can object to it on this ground
because the great increase of business will
surely result in increased revenue. This meas
uTe is strongly Endorsed by all the postofics
officials, so far as l have known them to express
themselves; 1t is demanded by the business
community and is greatly desired by the people
at large all over the United States. / have re-
ceived petitions signed by thousands of 1ust
living In every section, earnestly petitioniug for
the passage OF the bill. These petitions have
all been presented to congress and have been

soon be considered by the committee, and I
shall do all in my power to procure a favorable

tainments were too high for them to stay
in the Republican party and left in body
in 1884. Four of the present Democratic
congressman from that state are members
of this class Of ex-Republicans. The re-
suit is the Democrats are shouting wildly
for Cleveland and insisting that if he is
not nominated the New England Demo-
Gratis will be dead. That part of it repre-
scented by the Republican deserters may be
dead, but there is u part of the party
which is very much slive, and this part is
now engaged in shouting for Hill. There
will be a big fight in he convention be-
tween the Hill and Gle veland men to con-
troll the delegates. The Cleveland men
wish the delegation instructed for the ex-
president, while the Hill men wish it to go
uninstructed, and the latter will probably
prevail.

Why Tacoma Buys Goods in Seattle.
Tacoma Herald

Electrician Felkner, OF the Fidelity block,
says that he can purchase electric motors and
supplies in Seattle from % TO 100 per cent
cheaper than he can buy the same goods, aad
the same make of goods, in Tacoma. When
asked by Herald reporter on the subject, NJ
Fslkner did not hesitate to give out information
ne said he discovered some time ago that he
could get better prices in Seattle and had since
bought goods there. Mr. Felkrer did not al.
temptto explain why this could be done turtle,
than to say that Seattle dealers in Edison and
other goods were able to give better rates ior
some unknown reason, or that Tacoma houses
wanted to make too big a commission on salsa
He preferred 10 buy the material he needed in
Tacoma, but could not afford to do so owing u
the great difference in prices. Here is a spec
tacle OF seattle merchants coming right down
into Tacoma and taking away trade In a line Of
goods for which there is a large and steadily
growing demand.

South Dakota Instructs for Harrison
North Dakota for Cieveland-Texas
Legislature ON Silver and Tariff.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 4.-[Special.]
Senator Washburn returned from Min
nesota last night after an absence of ten
days. The senator is counted on as one of
the leaders of the opposition to President
Harrison's denomination, and from con-
versation had with him today it is be-
ieved that he is still of the opinion that if
Mr.. Harrison is renominated at all it will
be with considerable friction. The sena-
tor said to the PosT-INTELLIGENCER CORE
spondent today that the Minnesota dele
cation would not be instructed for Harri-
son. He said the Harrison sentiment in
that state was of a very negative charac-
for the Harrison strength in the coming
state convention to instruct q delegation
in his interest.
Another prominent opponent of Presi-
dent Harrison. on the Republican side of
the Senate, said today that if the friends
of the administration were unable to
secure the instruction of the New York
delegation for Mr.. Harrison, his chances
of securing a denomination were very
small indeed. The failure to secure the
instruction of the Empire state delegation
in Harrison's interest, he said, would in
dictate to the delegates at Minneapolis and
to the people in general that Mr.. Harrison
could not carry New York state, and for
this reason could not be considered an
available candidate. All the talk here at
this time among politicians who know the
situation in New York is still to the effect
that 1t will be utterly impossible to secure
an instructed delegation for Harrison in
New York. They say it is apparent that
ex-senator Platt and Warner Miller, al
though representing opposition factions in
New York Republicanism, cannot be run
over to the presidents side of the fight by
any possible means. If the situation re-
mains unchanged it is likely that the dele
cation from New York will not only be
uninstructed for Mr.. Harrison, but will be
very unfriendly to his candidacy"
