SLOW MAIL DELIVERY.
Letter Carriers not Allowed to As
sist in Asserting the Mails
and the Force is Now
Inadequate


The slow delivery of the United States
mail, both letters and newspapers, in this
city for the past two months, is beginning
10 cause considerable remark and COM
plant to our postmaster aud assistants,
and on inquiry the LIGHT learns that the
citizens of San Antonio really have very
large kick coming. more especially as
we have a Democratic state and national
administration and a supposed Democra
tic county and city. Yet it is not against
Postmaster George or any Of his assist
ants that the kick should be registered.
1t is against the United States postal
authorities which govern the workings Of
this office in its dealings with the public.
1t is learned that an order was received
here in effect January LIST last, that there
after no letter carriers should remain in
the office after they had reported for
duty. received their route matter. and
departed. A special time, ten minutes,
1t is stated. was even given the carriers
to come in and get out.
Under this ruling, which is being fol-
loweI strictly by Postmaster George. and
Superintendent of Letter Carriers Dave
Saunders. the of work distribution of the
morning mai is sadly retarded.
Formerly the rule was made by Mr..
Saunders that the delivery men should
spend a stated time each morning in the
office in distributing the mail. This force
in addition to the office force of three,
could when the tables were piled high
with heavy loads Of mail soon diminish
the pile to nothing in sometimes
less than 50 to 80 minutes, aud then the
delivererS would take their mail pouncheS
and skip to their routes with the utmost
CELEBRITY.
The new o"der does not allow this; does
not even allow them TO remain in the
office after they receive the routes. The
postal authorities, on the other hand,
have made no provision for extra help in
the Office in distributing mail, and hence
the office force is short handed and very
much crippled. There are only two dis
tributing clerks. who. with the help Of
Mr.. Saunders AMI Assistant Postmaster
SChramm, have to diSSect all the mails
passing through this office and thus it is
that it renders distribution very slow.
Postmaster George sent a letter on this
subject yesterday to the postmaster gen
eral, and the outcome OF it IS being
watched for by our business men and citi-
Gems with unusual interest.

and none of the injured now living are
thought to be fatally hurt.

age including houses barns and outbuild-
ings and fences. In only few places
are the crops seriously damaged for grain

dislodged by the wind and the principal
injury in the fields was by the plastering

earth from the surface in several places
and distributed it over other fields The

HE WILL BE WELCOMED
An Eastern Company Will Compete With Coast
Gas Com nanieS


SAN FRANCISCO, May ST. Stewart,
of Philadelphia, an experienced builder
of gas works in different cities. has arrived
here with the view of building extensive
gas works in San Francisco. He and his
associates, who he says comprise some of
the leading men of Philadelphia and New
York, purpose also to introduce a new
system and erect works in fifteen of the
leading towns on the coast. Mr.. Stewart
says the charges here for gas are unneces-
sarily high. In this city the two gas
companies charge " for each 1000 feet of
gas. He says his people will be able to
furnish it for 81 per 1000, or exactly one
hall the present charges. and then make
plenty of money. He estimates that the
new plant here with its mains requisite
will cost -, 900. 600. Mr.. Stewart, in
speaking of the matter. said:
There is an abundance of soft coal on
the Pacific coast, and scr ening and stock
which we use can be had IN plenty. The
crude oil requisite to be used in connec
tion is to be had here IN any quantity de-
sired. The process we use requires only
half the quantity of oil for producing the
same candle power as by the old and
antique mode.
"We can furnish the gas at 81 per 1000
feet and have a wide margin of profits.
At this rate three or four times as much
gas will be used as at present. The city
would undoubtedly soon consume 20, 600 =
900 feet day. and at this rate the gas
could be sold for IS cents a thousand. We
will live to see the time when it will be
reduced to 60 cents

LOSSES IN BEEF
Some Exceptions Taken to the Statement of
Packer Ar mOur

some Exceptions iaken 10 the statement OF
Packer Ar mour
WASHINGTON. May 5.-Dr. Salmon,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
being interrogated as to Mr.. Armour's
statement of an average constant loss of
between II and Is cents on each head of
cattle slaughtered by his house during
long period of time, said he had no criti-
cism to make as to the veracity of the
statement as far as it goes, but he added:
Mr.. Armour separates the dressed beef
department from the transportation
trade and various departments of his bus
mess which are closely related. 1t is cur
rently rumored and generally believed
that the firm of Armour & Co. have about
5000 refrigerator cars rolling over the va
rious railroads of the United States car
rying dressed beef to their customers, and
some wickedly curious people declare that
they cannot tell when they buy dressed
beef how much of the money gees for
transportation and how much for meat.
Possibly if Mr.. Armour will state the
losses incurred by his firm in the trans
portation of beef during the sah.e period
Of time that he covered in stating it's
losses upon beef itself, the further losses
OF that firm would so excite public SYM
pathy that those who eat beef would eat
the more. and those would eat it, too,
who never ate it before. However. until
it is known what the losses of Armour and
company on the business of their refrig-
orator cars in carrying dressed meats are,
the public may refrain from tears"
