PLANS OF THE POSTMASTER.
Forty-Five Additional Carriers
Will Be Required.
SIXTY MORE STAMP OFFICES.
An Increase of the Appropriation
Will Be Requested Senator
White Promises Assistance.

Postmaster McCoppin proposes to i'm
prove the postal service in this city in a
way that will earn for him the gratitude
of the community in general and the bust
ness portion of 1t in particular. 1t is his
purpose to employ more carriers, to de-
liver the mails oftener and increase the
number of stations and places where
stamps are sold.
The money now appropriated by the
Postmaster-General is not enough to war
rant the improvement which Mr.. McCop-
pin is determined to make. The general
fund is supposed to be divided among all
the postoffices of the country. according
60 percentage of their receipts; but San
Francisco has never received its just share,
which is $4,000 per annum in excess of the
last appropriation. The Postmaster has
set his mind upon securing that additional
$39,000 and has enlisted the services of
Senator White to second his demand for
il which IS soon to be made upon The de-
parrment at Washington.
The Senator, who Is going 10 the capital
IN lew days, was given very compre-
hensive idea of Mr.. MeCoppin's plans
and requirements Monday afternoon.
The Postmaster, who is fund of statistics,
gave the legislator trunkful of facts and
figures, which he promised to convey to
the Postmaster General, and Mr.. McCop-
pin, in order that nothing NAV be left un-
Gone, will supplement Mr.. Whites effort
with written statement showing the
rapidly increasing business and needs of
the office. This statement will be for
warded next week.
'If am given that $4,000" said the
Postmaster yesterday. II will appoint
forty-five additional carriers, making the
number in he loca! service $50. With
them ! will be enabled to increase the
daily deliveries In the lower part of the
city from five to six or perhaps seven, and
give better service throughout the town.
II propose to increase the number of
places where stamps are sold by adding
sixty. More of them are needed in every
section of the city, and as the Government
pays only S24 year to every storekeeper
who sells stamps the cost of this improve
ment will not be very great.

Said Catarh Was the American
National Disease.
1t Is the Cause of More Deaths Than Any
Other Disease-Evidence That Proves the
Superiority of the Copeland Treatment for
Chronic Troubles.

On The occasion of his last visit to America
the late Sir Morell Mackenzie was asked his
opinion of the climate OF America and its action
on diseases of the throat and lungs. He re-
piled:
I'm your American climate catarrh is un-
questionably the cause OF more deaths than any
other disease. At first 1t is as a rule a little
thing merely cold in the head. But in eli
mate like this one cold is not entirely cured be-

constitutes chronic catarrb. A strong and

LESS THAN LAST SEASON.
What Australian Colonies Have
to Export.
ESTIMATES IN THE ANTIpoDEs.
Belief That Next Season Will Show
Crop Equal to the Present
in California.

In the estimates of the visible supply of
wheat the Australian tonnage for export
seems TO have escaped the notice of statis-
ticians. OF late the amount OF Australian
wheat on hand has formed topic of dis
cussion among the grain men of this CITY,
The estimates varied very widely. In order
TO ascertain the true status a prominent
grain merchant cabled to Sydney.
The reply received yesterday was that
at Adelaide, South Australia. between
2G0, 600 and 800 90 tons of wheat were avail
a0le for export. and a like amount from
Melbourne. at Sydney there was no
wheat for export. This would make the
total amount which Australia can throw
upon the markets of the world about half
a million tons.
California wheat available for export
prior to July next is estimated at $4,000
tons.
The tonnage disengaged and TO arrive
within the next five months is placed at
$4,000, after deducting tonnage not avail
able for wheat. The deficiency is there
fore about 100000 tons.
Reports indicate that the coming season
will show as large crop of wheat in this
State as last year. In fact. it is believed
that a larger acreage will be devoted to
The prospect Of tonnage for the new
crop is an important one. Australian
ports are points from which much of the
tonnage available for Califarnia wheat
arrives. Ships come from the cities OF Sgd
ney aud Melbourne i0 ballast, and quite
fleet in past years has arrived from New
castle with cargoes of coal. just at pres
emit it is difficult to charter vessels coal
laden from Australia.
The last wheat charter reported here Is
that of the British ship Port Caledonia,
1920 tons, to the United Kingdom, Havre,
Antwerp or Dunkirk, by Balfour, Guthrie
&5 Co., at e1 rs Cd.
The facilities for mining aud shipping
coal from the north are better now than
ever before. and it is believed that the
market will thus be kept steady, although
the shipments from Australia fall off.
In 1898, at this season OF the year, the
avala BILE tonnage was: Ships loading,
4o.533 tons; disengaged. 31,7S7; to arrive,
16S. 500; total, 240.910. Adding 80 per cent
TO give the carving capacity, the total
figures are 361, 1865.
AT present the tonnage is: Ships load
Ing 81 800 tons; disengaged, 59,059; to ar
rive, 1909; total of 232, 664 Increased
by 80 per cent the carrying capacity be-
comes 34S, 996. The carrying capacity last
season exceeded that of the present by
1889 tons.
The total tonnage on the way. which in
eiudes ships not availab BILE for wheat Is
1883. In 1898. at the same time, il was
30 1871; IN 1892. 25S, 1893; in 1891. 310,963.
