magazlneS-the first bestowal of which
was the Act Of March 3, 1SS9-to mail
sample copies thereof at the pound rate of
postage. But for this too liberal privilege,
am inclined TO think the very few really
legitimate trade papers would ever have
been submitted to the mails as second
class matter"
Alter commenting on the great increase
In the mailing OF fraternal insurance
puDllcatlonS as second-class matter, and
showing the enormous increase of them
since the Act of Congress admitting
them, Blssell suggests the remedy III the
following: ''1t IL be the policy of Con-
gress 10 continue the privileges of the
second-class rates to benevolent or fra
ternaI societies, then the remedy l would
suggest would be an amendment of the
law limiting this rate to them, and to
| Legitimate newspapers and legitimate
periodical magazines. l believe one
years experience under such limitations
would demonstrate that all legitimate
newspapers and periodical magazines
may be transmitted through our mails
Irom the publishers into the hands of sub
scrbers free Of all cost.'
Ihe postmaster General does not favor
the postal telegraph, a system advocated
by his predecessor. The conditions in
this country, he says, are such as would
largely increase the deficit. Ii e takes as
example the system III Great Britain,
which Is q comparatively small territory,
and shows that the postal telegraph en-
tails total annual loss of about ., 900, 900.
lie points out that in country where the
territory is so large the cost OF postal
! telegraph to the Government would far
exceed any possible needs or benefits.
Mr.. Blssel gives. the following daily
average business of the Department,
which shows the vastness of the postal
service: Number OF miles of post route
! run, 1,l0O,0J0; mum ber of stamps manu-
| tactured, S,300,000; numb Der OF envelopes
manufactured, 100000 mum Der OF postal
cards manufactured, I,j00, 900; number OF
pieces mailed, l5,700,0O0 number OF let
ters mailed, Z, 100000; number of pieces
i OF mail matter distributed and redistrib-
uted by railway postal clerks, u, 900. 000;
-number OF pieces handled in the Dead
Letter Office, 100000; daily transactions
III money order business, 81 100, 600; daily
expenses, S23l, 100.
The Postmaster General believes in
civil service III the Postoffice Department.
Mr. Blssell refers to the bill now pending
In Congress to relieve the Postmaster
General OF the responsibility of Post
! ofhce appointments. Commenting upon
the bill, the Postmaster General says:
Nv Whether such a plan is or is not the
best that can be devised, it is at least the
formulation of plan which is entitled
TO the most earnest, careful and medi
ate consideration, and may become a
foundation upon which to build. What
Is earnestly desired, and what daily APP
pears OF more necessity, is legislation of
such kind which will insure the i'm
provement on the present Methods
Mr.. Bissell closes his report with
recommendation that a new building be
provided for the Postotfice Department.
He says that interest on All adequate
building would be less than the amount
of rent paid.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-The Ameri-
can liner Indiana, Captain Townsend,
from Liverpool and Queenstown for this
port, with crew of seventy men and 40
steerage passengers, has not turned up.

uneasiness felt for the ship was increased
by report made by Captain Hunter Of
the British ship Calvin, which reached
Girard Point to-day. He says that on the
18th inst, while weathering a terrific gale,
he observed on the crest OF a wave a part
of a passenger vessels hfeDoat 1t was
painted white, aud the figure was
plainly visible on one end. on the other
side were letters, no doubt the name of
the ship from which it had floated. This
was in latitude 420, longitude AZ. Pilot
Schellinger, who was In charge OF the
Calvin, says the raft described by Cap
tain Hunter closely resembles those car
ried by the American liner. Close to

CLIFF DWELLERS' VILLAGE.

One Found IN the Bradshaw Mount

PREsCoTT (Ariz.), Nov. 25.-Recent ar
rivals from the Bradshaw mountains re-
port the discovery OF cliff dwellers' viii
lage, in one Of the most inaccessible can
yons of that range, which has never be-
fore been seen by white men. The dis
covery was made by two prospectors,
White and Wilson, who Gid not attempt
a thorough exploration, but from their
description it is the largest village of the
wonderful people that has ever been dis
covered. The village is located along the
high banks OF Willow Creek, ana the
houses number 260. There are three
natural terraces along the canyon wall,
and the buildings are back from that
The narrow steps in the rocks are now
almost worn away. Several of the houses
were explored, and large quantities of
pottery and some instruments, evidently
used for cultivating the soil, were found.
In one the skeleton OF man not over
feet s inches in hight was discovered.
The canyon at this place is half mile
wide, and shows evidence of being cuIti-
waited. If this theory proves TO be true il
will throw new light on this peculiar lit
tie people. y party is being organized to
thoroughly explore the new-iound viii
lage, and the result of their research will
be awaited with interest.

was irresistible and it smashed the wagon
into splinters. Merrill was thrown across

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-It has been de-
termined by the theatrical managers that
the noisy and disorderiy scenes which
have been of regular annual occurrence
at the theaters on the night following the
great football match shall be avoided this
year, and steps have been taken to pre-
vent the students from getting seats in
advance for any of the theaters in anv
great numbers. Several OF the managers
have gone so far as to order that no adj
vance sales shall be made for the evening
OF December lst. In many instances
they have driven the performers off the
stage and made the managers close the
theater. The police, as we'll as the theater
managers, are preparing for thu annual
cheering Of the collegians, and the bows
will find their rushes and tackle on
broadway seriously interfered with if
they attempt possession of the tender
loin districts" as they have been accus-
toned. If the boys are moderately noisy
they will not be interfered with.

MOUNT RAINIER.

No Break in the Rim of the Crater
Visible at Tacoma.
TACOMA, Nov. 25.-The clouds lifted
this afternoon, leaving Mount Rainier or
Tacoma in sight. A thick cap, presum-
ably of vapor, appeared over the mount
ain for time, but at 4:30 had entirely
disappeared. No break in the crater rim
was visible from here. DR.. Culver, the
local weather observer, thinks the cap
was of vapor and mist, such as frequently
collects about the mountain, and not
smoke or steam. Many people viewed
the mountain with glasses while it was
visible. There is no doubt, as reported
in these dispatches, that quite a number
of people believed they saw smoke COM
ing out of the crater Wednesday morn
ing, but now they are more of the opin-
ion that what they witnessed was vaDor
blown about by the heavy winds in a
manner to resemble smoke Or steam. The
heavy cap which hung over the mountain
early in the week indicated to careful OBJ
servers the heavy rainstorm which pre-
vailed Friday and Saturday. During the
twenty-four hours ending at p. NJ. to-
day the rainfall was Les inches.
AS SEEN FROM SEATTLE.
SEATTLE, Nov. 25.-Mount Rainier be-
came visible again this afternoon for the
first time since the phenomena at its
summit were observed last Wednesday,
and the discussion of the subject caused
many person to look at it with unusual
interest.
Henry Surry, who first called attention
to the smoke issuing from the mountain,
and TO the change in its TO- III. examined
1t through strong glass. and adheres to
his original statement, and the only per-
sons Who discredit it are those who did
not see the mountain last Wednesday,
and are already committed on the sub
ject. He says the north peak stands out
more distinctly than ever; that sharp
point has appeared on the west side, and
that on the east side there is sharp de-
scent with rough surface, apparently
made by an avalanche. He says that not
only did he see smoke last Wednesday,
but saw it again to-day in smaller vol
ume, yellow in color and rising straight
from the summit, The whole summit is
again white with new fall of snow.
Surry has made map for future refer
ence.
Several other persons confirm his state
ments, and he is competent TO speak on
the subject, for he has travelled much,
seen many volcanoes, and his ship once
lay becalmed for three days in sight OF
Mount Etna.

Maud returned tonight from the coast,
