Washington, D. c., June 2S.-In a
report TO the State Department, Consul

the lst of April, 1896, the total length
of all the lines was 23,110 miles, Is, ASP
being government lines. SO far 900
miles Of track have been laid on the

that in 1893 the road will be completed

RAILROAD NOTES.

A meeting Of the executive committee
of the Trunk Lines associations will be
held in New York on Thursday te take
action on the issuing of clergymen
tickets. For some time past there has
been q disposition on the part of some
Of the railroads to cease issuing these
tickets but as the roads did not unite
in the movements the ministers con-
tinued to receive the cut rate. It is
thought that considerable opposition
will be raised at the meeting and an
these tickets. The principal objection
is raised by the lines that ply between
New York and Buffalo. 1t is said that
the lines in this city are not desirous Of
making q change and will do all they
can to continue the issuing Of the
clergymen tickets 1t has only been
lately that any objection has been made,
but the attempt to do away with the
practice has become a universal one
and the roads in the West, as we'll as
those in the East, are working on the
same problem. The reason the lines
between New York and Buffalo object
many Of them find their way into un-
scrupulous hands. 1t Is contended that
the rates are low enough for all and
that no discrimination should be made.
The Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road company. as well as the Pennsyl-
vania, Is desirous of allowing the
same system to remain In effect. and It
will do all It can to have the rule per-
tanning to issuing Of clergymen tickets
remain unchanged.

A MILK WHITE FLAG.-This even

seen in this city. 1t has q number OF
we'll known comedians in the cast ana
has new equipments, scenery ana ac-

who have not seen this play, 1t may be
said that the comedy is an inoffensive
and good-natured satire on our citizen
soldiers.
MODJESKA-At the Academy of
Music tomorrow evening Scranton thea
ter -goers will for the last time have an
opportunity of seeing Mod1eska, this
being her farewell tour. For this en-
gagement she has decided to play Mary
Stuart. If there Is one role more than
another in which Modjeska excels, 1t Is
Mary Stuart. 1t Is said that her play
ie is SO natural and withal so tragic,
that Is has never been equalled on the
American stage. 1t as the proud and
unhappy queen who struggles with ner
emotion in the scene with Elizabeth,
and as the devout Catholic who bids
her friends last goodbye and follows

FOR A ONE CENT POSTAGE.
Atteatioa Of the Board Of Trade
Called to the Natter.
CONGRESS- TO Be APPrALED TO.
n Charge - Postmaster General
0eported That o Ono Cent
Rate L. Possible.

A communication which invites va
ried consideration by business men in
particular has been received by the Sec
retary OF the Scranton board Of trade
from the committee on one-cent post
age appointed by the national board Of
trade at its recent meeting in Washing
ton. d. G. The matter will be thor
oughly discussed at the next meeting
of the board.
One-cent postage Qetter postage)
means a direct and positive saving to
each member Of the board, but there Is
bound to be pronounced difference Of
opinion on the matter, as many will not
approve decreasing the revenue Of the
government in view Of its present low
ebb of money-income; still, one-cent
letter postage will save 500 to the busl-
ness man each year who now spends
$500. If one-cent postage existed, the
combined savings of the members Of
the board would be a very large sum.
1t Is Possibility.
That one-cent postage Is possible and
equitable is shown in the report Of the
postmaster-g genral for the year 1890.
where 1t Is demonstrated that In tnat
year the revenue from letter-postage
alone amounted to $3S, ,000.0 900. while the
cost was only $4,000, 900, leaving a pro-
fit of $50. 100000. According to this re-
port, had letter-postage been reduced
in that year to one cent there would
still have been profit of $11 1,000,vvO.
The simple fact is. that letter writers
are at present forced to pay double
postage in order that one class of .-.-.-
matter may be charged only one cent a
pound, or about one-twelfth Of the ac-
tual cost: and because many million
dollars of free mail matter used by de-
partments of the government and
which should be charged to their own
accounts, are included in the expense Of
the postal department.
The national board Of trade commit
tee feels that the time has come to
stamp disapproval upon the present
system and bill for the reduction Of
the postage rate will be introduced In
congress.
Severe Art,gonism Expected.
It will be confronted by severe antag-
onism, and to overcome the opposition
the committee is aiming to secure the
cooperation of as many influential
bodies, citizens and officers as possible.
The committee requests the Scranton
board of trade to take immediate and
favorable action.
The next meeting of the national
board takes place in January. when 1t
Is proposed to push the One-cent post
age idea to definite issue.
The national committee Is composed
of such we'll known business men as
Finley Acker, chairman. of Phiiadel-
phia; Silas NJ. Giddings. Of Brooklyn, N.
Y; Blanchard Randall. of Baltimore.
The matter has been brought before ..-e
Scranton board because 1t Is member
of the national body.
