but warning against too rapid expan.
sion and rise. In some directions the
advance in prices clearly checks fu-
ture business. But encouraging fea-
lures have great power. Exports of
gold continue, but are met by syndi-
cate deposits and expected to cease
soon. Anxieties about the monetary
future no longer hinder. Crop pros
poets, except for cotton, have some
what improved during the week.
Important steps toward reorganiza-

moment less threatening and some of

Castine incident is more serious; but
any formal complaints should come
from France and not from America,

the American newspaper campaign in

Jeffrey. president and general mana
ger of the Denver 81 Rio Grande rail-

Co. Mr. Jeffrey was considered
as a successor TO J. w. Rein
hart when he resigned the presi-
dency and senior receivership of the
Santa Fe year ago. The directors,
however, finally decided that, as the
road was in the hands of the court,
there was no immediate need for a

statement shows that the excess of

A SWEEPING REFORM,
All Fourth Glass Postmasters May Soon b
Under Civil Service Rules.

All Fourth-Class Postmasters May Soon BE
Under Civil Service Rules.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The move
ment to bring the scores of thousands
of fourth-class postmasters under the
civil service begins to assume definite
proportions. In a few days a paper
will be established here having the
accomplishment of that purpose as its
motive power. It is known that the
president looks with favor upon the
main propositions and that the condi-
tons under which it could be brought
about have been seriously considered.
1t is proposed now to educate the
fourth-class postmasters as to the bene-
fits and desirability of civil service
and incidentally organize them into a
compact body which will eventually
take action expressing the conviction
that they should be included in the
classified service. The number of en-
pioyes involved is far in excess of those
affected by any order heretofore issued.

Disease.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Sl.-The steam
er Monowai. wichh arrived last night
from Australian points, did not stop at
Honolulu, as usual. When off that
port the steamer was hailed by the
American consul, in a small boat,
who announced that cholera
had broken out in Honolulu.
Among the natives and Chinese
the cholera broke out soon after the
steamer Belgic left on her last trip.
1t is presumed the disease was brought
by that vessel. The Monowai did not
enter Honolulu harbor, but steamed
direct TO San Francisco. He- passen-
gers for Hawaii were brought here.
There had been eight deaths from
the disease among the natives and
