ter-GeneraPs annual report shows that
the deficiency for the year ended June 30.
1888, was S5.l77,171, instead of 81, ,552, 423,
as estimated by Wanamaker. Instead OF
q surplus there will be deficit of $780,
0G0 the current year. The estimated gross
revenue for the year ending June 30, 1895.
is SS4, 427, ,74S, and the expenditures $780,
800. .485. The deficit viii be decreased a
million and a quarter by the fund taken
from the unpaid money-order account.
There are 6l0 free delivery Offices. The
extension OF free delivery in towns of
900 to 1900 would require an additional
outlay of ten millions.
The report suggests that postal notes he
abolished and the charge for money
orders reduced.
The requirements for the railway mail
service viii call for an increase of six to
seven thousand men. He recommends
an appropriation to provide for widows
and orphans of railway mail clerks
killed on duty.
The department last year carried 3Ol,-
000,O00 pounds of second class matter. an
increase of IA per cent.
The sale of'Columbian postage stamps
was only Sl,0OO,000, instead of 3, 100000
estimated by Wanamaker.
The Postmaster General thinks no posi-
tive advantages have occurred from the
ocean mail subsidy, and therefore no new
contracts have been entered into.
He recommends that ten OF the largest
p0stoffices, including San Francisco,
which yield one-third of the total postage
revenue, be put in class by themselves,
and aDDrODriatlOuS made for them by
Congress without the Intervention of

sacramento Lady Held Up IN WOOD
land in Broad Daylight.
WOODLAND, Nov. 2S.-The MaiI will
say tomorrow that Mrs. II. n. Sheets, q
resident of Sacramento, and large prop
erty-owner in Yolo County bordering on
the Sacramento River, was held up on
one Of the principal streets of this city by
burly ruf1ian. Mrs. Sheets came to
Woodland this morning to pay her taxes,
and while walking up Pine street was
met by man. She stepped aside to allow
him to pass, when he stopped her and re-
quested that she give him fifty cents.
Being informed that she could not COM
ply with his wishes, he seized her by the
shoulder and attempted to Wrest from
her a gold watch and chain. The lady
screamed for help, and on sight of an
officer the footpad took flight and made
good his escape without gaining any
plumber.
Mrs. Sheets was roughly handled be-
fore help arrived. and prints on her neck
showed that she had hard battle before
she succeeded in releasing herself from
the clutches of the would-be robber.
The officer, it is claimed, instead of
giving an alarm and pursuing the fugi-
tive. allowed the matter to rest until late
in the evening, when the Sheriff was in
formed of the occurrence. Up to late
hour no arrest had been made.

Americans stated to the British Commits

Commissioners continued the steno-

THE FRENCH CABINET.
AFTER THE EMPERoR,s LIFE.
Germany's Ruler Receives an Internal
rTochinas

Machine.
BERLIN, Nov. 28.-It now appears that
Emperor William on Sunday received an
internal machine from Orleans similar to
the one sent Capriyi. 1t was accom-
panied by a letter. Both were delivered
at the Emperor's Civil Cabinet, where it's
nature was discovered and it was rem
dered harmless. The Emperor has not
vet been informed of the receipt of either
of the Internal machines.
The French Government has promised
its utmost assistance in tracing the au-
thor OF the attempted outrage, who is as
yet utterly unknown.
The letter which accompanied the in
fernal machine sent to Caprivi read: II
have the honor to forward you samples
of an astonishing kind of radish seed
usually sown in December and gathered
in February. This kind is not affected
by frost. Receive, sir, the assurance of
my perfect consideration. @. Docnanteu,
II Rue Boutlong, Orleans"
The letter sent to Emperor William
with the internal machine had the same
contents as the one addressed TO Caprivi.
The supposition that the sending of the
two internal machines was the work of
crank is now abandoned, and it is be-
lieved the attempts upon the lives of the
Emperor ana GhaDcelIOr were due to
Chauvinists disappointed at the slow
work of the Franco-Russian entente, and
who decided to take revenge in their own
hands.

UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY.
The Whole System to be Thoroughly
ReorganiZed.

AASOTSdlilESOs
New YORK, Nov. 28.-At yesterdays
meeting OF the Union Pacific Railway
Reorganization Company it was settled
that reorganization must include the
whole Union Pacific system. One of the
subcommittee said this morning: Il
violate no confidence by saying the full
committee practically agreed that any
plan of reorganization TO be- successful
must comprise the entire Union Pacific
system. This will insure the nearly
unanimous support of the foreign stock
holding interest, for there are large in
terests in the Union Pacific in London,
Berlin, Amsterdam and other European
centers, which fear nothing so much as
that the great system will be disinte-
grated. All anxiety upon this score may
be set at rest, as both the receivers and
the committees are satisfied it would be
the hight of folly to undo all the man
agement has done in the past in the way
OF building up traffic on the main line,
derived from the branches, although the
latter, on the present basis, in some in
stances are burden to the parent COM
pany.
Europe will look anxiously for some
hint OF the proposed treatment Of the
Branch Line bonds it owns, including
the LeavenwOrth and Topeka, which are
partly guaranteed by the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe; the Union Pacific;
Denver and Gulf, which shows a small
surplus as a rule; the Oregon Short Line,
and the st. Joseph and Lincoln and Colo
radO, which were behind regularly. The
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany's lease will, however, be the puz-
zle."

OF the formerly paid officers, whose posi-
