and voluntary exertions of the faithful, in
teiiigent employees.
Concluding the reading of the above
DATA, Capt. Castle stated that it was
his intention to remain during his life
the same citizen Of st. Paul that he has
been for nearly thirty years, and he
would always be interested in the post
office employees, assuring them that If
he could ever be Of assistance in for
Warding their interests or in placing
them upon higher plane of compen-
sation, they had but to command his
services.
Capt. Hardacre then introduced Post
master Smith, who said that the gath
ering Of the employees was something
or surprise to him, as he had only ex-
pected to meet each of them personally.
L trust, said he, that our relations
may be cordial and friendly, and that
the high standard of excellence which
the office has attained under my prede-
cessor may be maintained in the fu-
ture." Postmaster Smith concluded his
remarks with a brief statement of the
relations which the employees Of the pos
tai service should observe toward the
public, whose servants they were not
wlthstanding that their tenure of office
was lifelong.
Following Postmaster Smith, P. M.
Maroney, president Of the local clerks
association, spoke a few well chosen
words OF farewell to Capt Castle on be-
half of the clerks of the postoff1ce, and
presented the retiring official with a
handsome leather chair, foot stool, and
beautiful Bokhara rug. T. J. DOYLE.
on behalf Of the Letter Carriers
association, presented Capt, Castle with
an Cak office desk
In feeling response to the presenta-
tons, ex-PoStmaSter Castle said that
the rules of the postcfffce department
had in a measure stood in the way of
his knowing the position which he held
among the employees of the local office,
but that the tokens Of their good will,
which he had received in the moment
OF retirement were q source of pleas
ure and qualification Of the truest ma
ture.
After a selection by the band each of
the employees was introduced to Post
master Smith by Capt. Hardacre, and
after shaking hands with the new chief,
bade farewell to Capt. Castle in leaving

TRAFFIC ACROSS SIBERIA.

pIeted.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The enormous difference which the
trans Siberian railway is certain to
make in the freight and passenger car
rying trade of the world may be seen
in the announcement that firSt-class
passage will be sold from Moscow to
Vladivostok for $50, secondclass for
$22. The freight rates are to be in pro-
portion. The time required for the
journey-extending practically from the
Baltic sea to the Pacific ocean-will be
nine days and eleven hours for express
trains and twelve days and fifteen
hours for hauls of merchandise.
At the present time the trip between
the two coasts, say from London via
SueZ to Yokohama, consumes thirty
eight days. Something like week
may be saved from this account by
following the American or Canadian
routes. From BremerhaVen to Shang-
hal consumes forty seven days and
from Marseilles to Yokohama via the
Messageries line forty days. Taking
the minimum time. thirty-one days.
and while it is being covered by ship
and car over British routes 4 Russian
freight train can leave MOSCOW and
run to Vladivostok and back again
and have about five days leeway.e
Regarding expenses, the scale is as
much in favor of the Russians as the
time card. For example, ffrst-class
passage to Shanghai from Bremerha-
ven costs $500; second-class, $240. Add
Ing $40 as the Russian steamship fare
from Vladivostok to Shanghai, and the
same sum to cover the connection be-
tween Bremerhaven and Moscow, the
figures in each instance being liberal,
and the Russians can cut the German
iCh rCf fn hxy +1aass sscrI,,
of $314. The freight rate will be. one
fourth the present sea rate. OF course,
there can be no competition with Rus
sia under this head, and English trade
with the Orient will either have to
make use Of the Russian transporta-
ton facilities or retire from the field.
Even if steamship rates could go down
to a cash basis of rivalry, which, of
course, would be out of the question,
the Russians would still have the ad-
vantage of providing daily against
a semi-weekly service

Washington to give the fusionists 5000 major

based on a careful canyass.
The fusionists claim everything in sight

NO BIG VOTE IN OREGON.
Majority Claims Are Moderate ON All
Sides.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov 1.-The cam
paign in Oregon has been the most ex-
citing in the history of the state. The
Republican state committee, after a
careful canvass in every county Of the
state, places the minimum majority for
Mckinley at 1850. The latest estimates
given out by the Populist state com
mittee put the majority for Bryan
electors at 2,200.
At the state election held in June
last the Democrats and Populists both
had tickets in the field, and their COM
bined vote on supreme judge exceeded
the Republican vote by 4,300 The Ma
tional Democrats claim they will cast
at least 1900 votes in the state. At
the presidential election four years ago
the Democrats and Populists fused on
one elector, but his total vote was 1000
short of the combined vote of the Dem
ocrats and Populists on the other three
electors, who were voted for separately.

QUEER SITUATION IN IDAHO.
Republicans Expect to Elect All
Officers Below Governor.

BOISE. Idaho. Nov. 1.-The Peoples
Democratic party, being fusion of
Populists and Democrats and the silver
republicans. or Duboise party, have
all FUSED on Bryan electors in Idaho
and it is admitted they will get $4,000
votes. The Mckinley vote is not ex-
pected to be over $500. The Peoples
Democratic party claim they will have
IA 600 votes for their state ticket and
will elect it. The Republicans do not
concede them over 10000 votes on any
office but the governor, and claim that
the Republicans will elect all state Of
ficers except the governor. It is safe
to predict that the state will give
Bryan 10000 majority and that the
People's-Democratic nominee for gov
ernor will be elected. The Republicans
are confident Of electing the congress
man. There are three nominees for
congress, the Democrat-Populist, Re
publican and silver Republican.
