month of February aside from the money
expended on the new waterworks. Sal

Report on pGstOfiices.

Washington special: Postmaster Gen.
eral Wilson has made his first annual re-
port to the President. The receipts of the
Postoflice Department for the year end :
ing June go 1895, were $40, III ,090 and The
expenditures $S6, 49, ,l72. 1t is gratifying,
says the report, that large proportion Of
the deficiency occurred in the first quarter
OF the year and that revenues arc mcreaS-
ing with returning prosperity.
The Postmaster General refers 10 the
free delivery service and says:
81 believe it is good policy for Congress
and for this department to foster the eX-
tension of this service by judicious ap-
preparations and juiiciouS administration.
'The vigorous and effective efforts OF
my immediate predecessor seem to have
produced at last an honest administration
of the eight hour law and made letter car
riers' trip and official time reports actual
and truthful records of service. To bring
about this substantial reform, just alike to
the department and to the carriers, as well
as to lay the foundation for other neces-
sary improvements in this service, a Spe-
cal investigation of the carrier system
was begun under his administration, in
volving thorough examination into the
needs and details of the service"
He concurS III the recommendations OF
the first ass istant Postmaster general for
promoting the etflc ency of the work. Con-
cerning the abuses OF second class mail
matter Mr.. Wilson says:
II can add little to the reasons given by
Postmaster General Bissell and Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker for amendments
to the laws as to second class matter, i'm
peratively needed to save the postal serv-
ice from the enormous abuses and conse-
quent enormous loss OF revenue, which no
regulation of the department or watchful-
ness Oh the part Of the officials can guard
against. ] respectfully and earnestly
recommend to Congress careful scrutiny
into this abuse and such remedial legiSla-
tion as shall be deemed necessary and ef-
fectiye for its correction"

Bishop and Priest Compete.

According to announcement Bishop
Bonaculn Of Lincoln held personally con-
Quoted Catholic services at TecumSeh
Sunday. His services were held at the
Seaver Opera House and in the presence
of a congregation OF less than forty.
In fact, there were but fourteen members
of the Tecumseh church in attendance.
The grievances against Rev. Messrs. Muir
ply of that city and Fitzgerald of Auburn
were aired. These clergymen were
toasted to queens taste for the disre-
spect the bishop claims that they are show
ing their superior in the church, their eX
pulsion from the diocese was affirmed and
they were eXcOmmuncated from the
church The bishop then installed in that
charge Rev. j. c. Carraher of Lincoln.
Services for next Sunday were announced
to be held at the opera house, and trus-
tees meeting of the local organization
will be held at the home of the priest in
SmartvilIe Wednesday.
Father William Murphy held services at
st. Andrews Church at the usual hour
and so vast was the throng of church
members and citizens that turned out 10
hear the reverend gentleman that stand
ing room in the cOmm01iOuS house OF wor
ship was at a premium. Many were
turned away from the doors unable TO
gain admission. Father Murphy expressed
his pleasure at being honorcd on the oc-
caSon with such magnificent cOngrcga-
ton, and entered in detail into the trouble
that is existing between the bishop and
himself. Many important letters in refer
ence to the case were read. He claimed
that the bishop bad brought this scandal
upon the church solely from the fact that
Fitzgerald and himself refused to eXtort
certain large sums of money from their
Pensioners TO be used in furtherng the
bishops comforts of life. In concluding,
Father Murphy expressed the hope that
the members of the congregation would
not form any opinion in the case either
pro or con until the evidence on both sides
had been carefully weighed and the mat
ter given hearing before the proper
church authorities. If the verdict OF that
tribunal shall be favorable to the Opposi-
ton he will willingly step down and out
without further controversy. In the
meantime as the duly authorized pastor of
this charge he will conduct the customary
services at the church.

meridian between Mt. st. Eiasl and the
Arctic Ocean.
When the present chief of the bureau,

been assigned to the duty of running the

but had not worked out his notes, when

ance with the opening of spring. No one
could understand how it could be that the
surveyors were so wide apart, as although
they worked with chronometers and sex
tants and without the aid of the definite
survey of the coast, it was declared that
they ought not to be more than 100 feet
apart.
McGrath was sent for. He went over
his own notes and proved that his line
and that located by the Canadian engineer
are in reality only twenty two feet apart.
and now the Canadian survey is acknowl-
edged to be approximately correct. This
means apparently that thei list meridian,
or the main east and west boundary line
of A laska, north of Mt st. Elias, has been
definitely determined. The decision
leaves the town of Forty Mile in British
territory.
The question of the location of the
southeastern boundary is still in allegiance
and it continues to give the administration
a great deal of trouble, especially as the
British insist that the city of Juneau, in
Guiding the United States custom house,
is within their territory.
