VAS THROUGH IGNORANCE.
That is One Reason of Letter Carrier Raw.
 sons Difficulty

sons Difficulty.
 Fall River, Mass, Dec. 6.--Substitute Letter Carrier Rawson got into his present difficulty almost entirely through his ignorance of the rule of the local office giving substitutes ten hours for their work. He believed he had to get through his work in eight hours and when he found he could not do it he feared he would be discharged for inefficiency. Then he was ambitious to make a good record for himself for quick work.
 He was appointed substitute carrier in June and worked in the early sum- mer, when he was given long route. He found that other carriers got their mail and started out while his was still unsorted, while some substitutes as well as regulars beat him. Rather than be left, after the others were gone, he gathered up part of his matter unsort- ed and took it along to sort and de- liver He knew of the loft of the fire department and knew it was not often visited.
 HIS icAt HIS Sui pluo iidteci lhCie ouu used to go there early in the morning and evening during the summer and sort out the mail left there. When he could not get his mail up he left what he had unsorted in the loft and took out a bundle of matter that he had sorted there. This plan worked all right for time and no matter was left behind for good. Finally on Wednes- day the discovery was made.

THE SNOW QUESTION AGAIN
FAIR HAVEN AND WESTVILLE RoID
 DISIGREES WITH TRECITY.

President Parmelee is of the Opinion hat
 the Contract Prepare by the Board of
 Public Works Provides for an Unequal
 Division of the Work and He win Not
 Sign 1.-The Commissioners Hold
 Special Meeting and Refer the Matter to
 the Corpora ion Counsel.
 Commissioners Johnson, McGann, States, Bishop, Grant and Hoyt, com prisng the full membership of the board of public works, wene present last even- ing at a special meeting of the board called for the purpose of considering the removal of snow from along the thoroughfares over which move the cars of the Fair Haven and Westville road. At the regular meeting or the colnmis- sioners he'd carry in the week Superin- tendent Graham, representing the road, deferred the signing contract binding the clly and the road to clear away the snow on the ground that the division provided in the contract was not an equal one and that the road would sui fer by it. He also thought 1t his duly under the circumstances to confer with President Parmelee before taking any definite step in the matter.
 As result of this President Parme- lee and Attorney Watrous appeared at the meeting last night in the interests of the road They showed that accord- ing to the schedule the railroad would have 6.174 miles of streets to care for, while the city would only have 2.S79. It was suggested by MT, Parmelee that the city take East Chapel and East Pearl strsets and give the road Water street. At this rate the city would get about 3.S52 miles, while the road would get 5701. Despite this difference Pres ident Parmelee would be satisfied, as the clearing of Water street would be more convenient to the road.
 But the commissioners were not at all favorable to his suggestion, for the sim pie reason that the clearing of snow off East Pearl and East Chapel streets would be decidedly inconvenient to the city. The city laborers would lose a great deal of time going to and from the thoroughfares in question, as they were quite distant from the supply house. In the contracts signed by the three other roads the city had tried to be as fair as possible and without de parting from this also endeavored to bring the city's share of the work near to the city supply house so that the la borers would not be compelled to lose much time in going back and forth.
 The consideration of the matter and the discussion over it occurred in ex- ecutive session. The commissioners de- cfded for the present to stand firmly by the contract which their street con- mittee had drawn up, and President Parmelee was just as determined not to sign the contract, In view of this the board decided to refer the conyact to Corporation Counsel Ely for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether or not the road can be forced to stand by its pro- visions The commissioners wish to settle the affair without delay, so that the very first snowfall can be well cared fnr

ENGLAND'S REPLY RECEIVED
LIT WILL HANDED TO SECRETARY
 OLNEY SOMETIME TO-DAY.

At the Time the Formal Reply Was Trans
 mitted othe British Ambassador Another
 Copy Was Handed to Ambassador Bay
 ard-It Is on the Venezuelan Affair
 Washington, Dec. 6.-Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary Olneys dispatch. which, according to the presidents mes sage "called upon the British govern ment for definite answer to the ques- tion whether 1t would or would not sub- init the territorial controversy between itself and Venezuela in it's entirety to impartial arbitration" was received by Ambassador Pauncefote tonight It will be handed to Secretary Olney to- morrow.
 At the same time the formal reply was transmitted to the British ampas- sador another copy. according to dlplo- matic custom, was hand9d to MT, Bay ard, our ambassador in London, through whom, last July, Secretary Olney's orig inal note was presented to the British foreign office, Sir Julian Pauncefote then being absent in England. This copy was undoubtedly placed in MT. Bayard's possession some days before the presidents message was presented to congress.
 It is inconceivable that in matter of such importance some inkling of it's contents should not have been commit nicated by cable to Secretary Olney pri- or to the framing of the presidents message. Bearing in view this point, the passage in the message in which the president says the United States will not be satisfied if one of the pow CTS concerned is permitted to draw an arbitrary line through the territory in debate and to declare that it will sub init to arbitration only the portion ly- ing on one side of it." will be regarded as having much significance. There is promise in the presidents message that when the text of the answer of the British government expected shortly" shall have been received "fur- tfer communication on the subject will probably be made to congress"
 The probabilities seem to be that the correspondence will not see the light until after the Christmas holidays, un- less it should be made public on the other side. of the Atlantic.

THE TONTINE.
G. F. Heublein & Brother Have Not Leased
 the Hotel.

The report published last evening in the Register that G. F. Heublein & Bro. had leased the Tontine hotel and would move their business to that loca- ton, was in part erroneous. The truth of the matter is that George T. White, manager of Heublein's cafe, has leased the hotel in his own name for a third party The lease of MT. Hodgkins does not expire until June 1, 1897, when the new lessee will take possession and carry on the hotel business. Mir. White said last evening that the Heubleins did not contemplate changing the loca- ton of their business, but would con- tinue at the old place. Mir. White would not state who the new lessee is.
