PARCELS POST.
Great Britain Wants to Enter Into a
Convention with This Country.

WASHINGTON, JAM 6.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British. ambassador, and
Lord Cough. first secretary of the legation.
had a conference with Postmaster-general
Wilson to-day. at which the establishment
of parcels post convention between the
United States and Great Britain was urged.
The visit was the result OF communica-
ton to the ambassador from the Post
master-general of Great Britain urging the
adoption OF such an arrangement as a bene-
fit to the service. The ambassador was
assured by Mr.. Wilson that the matter
would be considered as soon as possible:
Mr.. Wilson explained that the United
States has no parcels post conventions with
any European country. though having such
conventions with a number Of British
colonies, the Hawaiian and Leeward ISL
ands and other small countries. The OBJ
lection urged by the postal authorities Is
that the Introduction OF the arrangement
would be Instantaneous to this country,
as the malls are liable to transportation
over much more territory than in Eng
land, and ii would create more work in the
service by allowing a maximum of eleven
pounds TO a package in the mails instead Of
four at present.

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-At a meeting Of men,
bers of the American Railway Union to-
night Eugene V. Debs declared that good
times had left the country never to re-
turn. He said that nothing less than the
total abolition of the wage system would
answer the demands of the country. He de-
clared that the army of the unemployed is
constantly on the increase and that COM
binatons, trusts and corporations are
crushing out the life OF the middle classes
and driving them into the ranks OF the
unemployed. Under the present system, he
said that the best that could be expected
was that affairs would continue to grow
worse. He wants to see the common people
go into politics and inaugurate the CO.
operative commonwealth. He paid his re-
spects to President Cleveland, denounc-
ing his attitude on the Venezuelan question
and said he was not honestly trying to
enforce the Monroe doctrine. General Miles
was also scored for asking for more men
for the army.
