A Deficit OF 81 1..7.17I for tho Year-Coium-
binn - amps Failure.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-The annual report OF
Third Assistant l7ostmast ter General CraiGe
shows hat the total revenues OF the depart
ment from all sources during the last fiscal
year was $75.S9j 1888. and the expenditures
SS1.074. l04. which leaves IL deficiency for the
year Of S5.1T7.l7l. Letter sheet envelopes
introduced into postal use in 1887. have not
proved n success. the number used having
constantly decreased. and therefore the Ques-
ton is raised as to whether their issue and
sale ought not to be discontinued. The issue
OF three sizes OF postal cards has also proven
unsatisfactory. and since the close OF the fiscal
year q contract has been entered into for the
manufacture OF one sizo only. called the inter-
national size. being 50 inches by 81 inches.
The reply postal card has not come up to ex-
pectations. but they will continue to be used.
The Columbian postage stamps have also
proved unsatisfactory SO far as the revenue
from their sale is concerned. The issue OF thom
at first was very large. but as soon rs the nov;
rapidly fell Off. the public evidently preiferring
the smaller stamp. Tho estimate of Post
master General WanaInaker whom he made
the contract Tor their issue that three thous-
Lecn fully 100 ,por cent, in excess OF the real
demands. and in ori"t to reduce the loss

original contract. reducing tho number TO

$50 900 worth OF these stamps were sold to col
lectors.
The opinion is expressed that tho reduction
OF the registry fee from ten to eight cents is
almost certain to result in an increasing loss
OF revenue every year as long as it lasts. Tho
actual difference on tho amount of business
done between tho ten cent and the eight cent
rate during the six months from jan. to
June 30. 1893. was Si2o.4i9. thus showing
that tho reduction in rate did not bring to the
registry system any real increase Of business.
ON the contrary. it Is stated as a curious fact
that tho reduction was followed in some OF tho
large Western cities by an actual decrease OF
business. Gen. Craige therefore recommends
that the old rate of ten cents be restored.
The special delivery feature OF the postal
service is proving a success. thoro having
been n steady increase In its use from the be-

RKsu,uINs s1LrxR COINAGE
II IL Done to UtIize tho tSeirr,ors9e. which
Is n Clear Gain To the Treasury.

WARRINGTON. Nov. 3.--Importnnt action was
taken by the Treasury Department to-day in
regard to silver. Orders were sent to tho su-
pe.intendents OF the United States mints Mt
San Francisco and New Orleans to resume the
coinage suspended some time ngo OF standard
silver dollars. This action Is taken under au-
thority OF section 3 Of the Sherman law OF
1890. which Ia as follows:
Tha, this secretary o. the Treasury shall each month
coin milton ounces OF the silver bullion purchased
under the provisions OF thus act into standard silver dol
lars I'm til day OF july 1921 and after that time
he shall OF the silver bullion purchased under the
provisions N this act 40 much as may BIO necessary to
provide for the redemption OF the Treasury notes here
IN provided for and any gain or seicorage arising
from such dnage shall be accounted for and paid into
tho TreasurNt
II is for the purrose OF utilizing the sciRnior
age that tho coinage OF standard silver dollars
Is resumed. Tho expectation Is thGt about
100000 standard silver dollars can DO coined
at once. which will give the United States
Treasury u seigniornEe OF about 100000 in
other words the seignioragc bears the proper
