OUR POSTIE SERVICE.
Postmaster General Wilson's Report on the Growth and Needs of the System.

Postmaster General Wilson's Report on
 the Growth and Needs of the System.
 Washington, Dec. S-Postmaster General Wilson in his annual report says:
 From an organization of seventy five pOstmasters in the first year of Washington's administration and a mail service costing $32, ,OOO, confined to letters, the department has grown to a service costing $92, GOO, GOO, open to the transmission of almost all kinds of matter, with limitation of weight only, and has become an integral part of the postal system of the world. Surely the time has come when the best bus- ness organization should be adopted in the administration of the department and larger extension of the civil ser vice methods in the selection of en- ployes, upon whose faithful strenuous and intelligent labor, rather than po- litical qualifications must be based the high and efficient service for which the people annually pay such immense sums"
 MT. Wilson gives space to the views of his predecessors, MT Wanamal5er and MT. Bissell heretofore published) concerning plans for reorganization of the postal service, and says:
 Fortunately the natural growth of the country and the consequent devel- opment of the postal service has sug- gusted a plan which, by the test of ex- periments already made, promises to effect this substantial improvement, without further legislation than an in- crease in the allowance for clerk hire, more than cOunterbalanced by a still larger decrease in the appropriations for the salaries of postmasters.
 Further recommendations refer to the need of inspectors for carrier service. as well as for the reorganization of that branch of the department, while close attention is given to the com paratively small details of the service. such as overtime claims, cancelling machines, rents, fuel, compartments, service collection wagons, depot post offices, pneumatic tubes, etc The ex- pertinent of free delivery in towns and villages has not achieved success, says the postmaster general, and the results of free rural delivery aer as yet incom- plete.

SPAIN IS ANGRY 1T US.
President Cleveland's Implied Threat
 Arouses Her Ire.

Paris, Dec S-The Temps, comment ing on President Cleveland's message to-day says that it is worthy of his ad- ministratiOn, which has always borne the stamp of honesty. Treating of that part of the message bearing on the Cuban question the Temps declares that the presidents attitude will sat isfy neither Spain nor the rebels, and expresses doubt as to the efficacy of the offer to guarantee the autonomy of Cuba. Spain, it says, would never think of agreeing to an agreement that would make the United States the sov- ereign power in Cuba, while on the other hand the insurgents will not be satisfied unless the island is made inde- pendent or annexed to the United States.
 With reference to Venezuela the Temps declares that the settlement of the question on the lines proposed by the United States is a triumph for Pres ident Cleveland, but that it gives an unexpected extension to the Monroe doctrine.
 The Madrid correspondent of the Temps telegraphs that that part of the message referring to Cuba has caused widespread comment and much adverse criticism. The dispatch adds that ev- erywhere an unfavorable impression has been produced bv the pretensions of the United States and their threaten ing attitude towards Spain. The Span ish newspapers publish bitter articles on the subject, in which they attribute the attitude of the United States to self-importance springing from the concessions by Great Britain in the Venezuelan matter.

The fire spread to the old bank in tAe To- ronto building, corner of John md St. James streets, and it was soon {, mass of flames. While the f1remeh were working on this building the corner of the wall fell out, sending a wave of flames across the street.

He is equally well satisfied that the urgency of the case is such that the house will pass the bill, as 1t is neither party measure nor one up- on which, in his judgment, there should be any marked difference of opinion in the house,

Langdon. n. d.. April 8. - Frank
Saunders. agent of the Great North
ern. attempted to commit suicide here
today as consequence of an eNaMin-
alton of his books by the travelling
auditor of the company. He is now
lying in Il precarious condition. but
may recover. The trouble originated
over an option deal into which lie and
several other people OF the town be-
came interested. About two weeks ago
some dealing in options OH pork he
gan here. and it seems that Mr.. Saund-
ers was the agent in handling the
matter. There was considerable loss
to the men who were thus bucking the
board of trade, and the commissions
have been II source of sorrow to many.
Saunders was relieved of his position
here Yesterday by the arrival of the
auditor. and it was understood that
w. Stevenson. who had been agent at
Devils Lake, was to be in charge as
soon as the usual accounting was
made. but tile accounting had not pro-
gresSed very far when it became evil
dent that there would be Il shortage,
now estimated at $1,000, in Saunders
accounts. 1t is said that he has forged
kilograms and used all sorts of means
to conceal his peculatiOns. which have
heen in the way of option dealings.
He went to bed to-day sick. but was
found to have taken poison. and the
doctors have been working with him.
Stevenson is here to take charge as
soon as the investigation is completed.
