PARCELS POST.
An Arrangement Between This Country
and England Likely.


WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 6.-SEr
Julian Pauneefote. the British ambas-
sador, and Lord Cough. first secretary
of the legation, had q 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 Rns the result OF communi-
cation to the ambassador from the
postmaster general OF Great Britain,
urging the adoption Of such an ar
rnngemcnt as a benefit 10 the service.
The ambassador was assured by Mr..
Wilson that the matter would be con-
sldered as soon rs possible, Mr.. VIII
son explained that the United States
has no parcel-post convention with any
European country, though having such
conventions with number OF British
colonies. the Hawaiian and Lcewnrd Is
lands and other small countries The
objection urged by postal authorities is
that the introduction OF the arrange
ment would he disadvantlgcous to this
country as the mails are liable to trans
portatlon over more territory than In
england and II would create more work
In ahis country by allowing n maximum
of eleven pounds TO package in the
malls instead Of four MS at present.
