The figures presented by the Nation
al Board Of Trade in connection with
its movement to reduce letter postage
to l.cent are interesting.
The carrying Of letters at 81 cents .
mound is enormously profitable 70 the
Eoverpment. In 1880 out OF total re-
saints amounting to 93S, ,OOO,O ,OOO, the
Government cleared the great profit OF
$50. 100000. 1t has been estimated
that on l.cent postage the proht woulo
have been $11 ,OOO,OW.
II is evident, therefore, that 2-cent
hostage is an excessive charge for
ietters. But it Is claimed that the
rate cannot be reduced because the de-
nartment must make up deficiencies
from two sources-on second class mat
ter and on free delivery under the
ranking privilege. The loss on sec,
ond class matter during the last nscal
wear amounted to Sl8. .572, 600 and on
ihe jranking privilege the year pre-
yious $l2, 100, ,283.64.
OF the ranking privilege there can
be only one sensible view-it should DO
cut off or at least the actual cost OF the
service should be charged to each
government department In proportion
to use. But the second-class matter
nresents more difficult problem be-
cause the newspapers are In this class.
The price OF newspapers Is now re-
duced to the lowest margin and 1t is a
serious thing to tamper with their
postage rate. They should be made as
cheap as possible as a matter OF sound
public policy.
But the greatest loss in second class
matter is traced to the cheap publica.
tions in the form of dime novels and
other trashy literature with which the
postal service is overloaded. Much OF
this is pernicious and most OF 1t is OF a
business character which should be
made to pay cost-deiraying rates.
The best suggestion is to make
special class of bona fide newspapers
and advance the rest of the second
class matter to fair rates. Then the
letter postage could be reduced to !
cent, where it should best. Louis

THE TALK THAT COUNTS.

In great contrast to'all this war talk
of empty, headed politicians, who have
no other way to secure public recogni-
ton, comes the following patriotic ut
terances of a well-known and broad
minded Mississippian, Capt. Charles
B. Scott, OF Rosedale, Miss. He deliv'
cred an address to the convention Of
cotton growers, in Memphis, the other
day, and among other good things said:
Another thing, gentlemen, to which
I invite your attention. Grlm-vlsaged
war presents his wrinkled front. We
want no war. The immediate effect
might advance the value Of cotton now
on hand to q fabulous price, but with
blockaded ports and consumption con-
fined to the home demand, future pro.
duction on the present scale would re-
suit in disaster to the South. We are
Americans, thank God, and II hostili-
ties commence, right or wrong. We
shall STAN BY America 20 the last.
But we want no war; above all, with
Great Britain. We are bound to her
by the ties of kindred, and by a thous-
and glorious memories and traditions
of the past. By the memory OF Agln..
court and Greasy; by the memory OF
the immortal Bard of Avon; by the
memory of the grandly melOdious Mil
ton ; by the memory Of Magma Charta,
and the undying spirit Of constitutional
liberty, a priceless heritags from our
English ancestry, I enter An earnest
plea for peace.
"Where is the boasted civilization
and culture of the nineteenth century
if the two great English.speaking ma
tions of the world can not find q peace
full solution OF the present issues with
equal honor to both No, gentlemen
Of the South, we want no war. In the

and say with one voice:

of Capt. Scott's remarks, says:

The Inauguration at Jsc%~on on
Tuesday, January 2lst, "oui1 have
been a grand affair had not tho mis-
erable weather seriously interfered
with the exercises. Even as it was,
however, the occasion was a memoir
able one. Eleven companies OF State
militia, several fine bands, and several
thousand visitors we're In attendance,
and the parade and other open air
features were carried on according to
program. The Governors address
was delivered inside OF the capitol
building, instead of on the stand erect
ed at the entrance, and the grand re-
view was dispensed with, but other
wise there was no deviation from the
arrangements. The soldiers marched
through the mud and rain, the open
carriages containing the distinguished
officials followed, and 'the band play
ed on" There was no let up from
Jupiter Pluvius, Esq, during the day
or night, but the Governors reception
was on grand scale aud the big mill
tary ball was brilliant affair, both be-
ing largely attended. ....
Taken altogether, the inauguration
was decided success, q good prece-

DECIDES TO GIVE A ONE
CENT RATE.
THAT BRINGS THE G. A. R. SURE
RENEWED ASSURANCES OF THE
SAME CONSIDERATION MADE
BY THE 500.
ALL COMMANDER WALKER ASKS
Has Been Secured by st. Paul, Which
Will See the 1896 Encamp-
ment.

The Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad
has fallen into line with the Chicago
Great Western and the Wisconsin Gen.
trail, and will grant the same rate and
same extension of time on special-rate
tickets for the G. A. R. national en-
campment as the latter two roads.
This decision on the part of the Min
neapolis & st. Louis was announced
yesterday when the officials of that
road informed Albert Scheffer and Gen.
Flower. of the G. A. R. finance and
transportation committees, that they
had written to Chairman Caldwell, of
the Western Passenger association.
notifying him that their road had de-
ciGed to withdraw from the compact
OF the Western Passenger association,
with regard to G. A. r. encampment
rates.
This action simply bears out the pre-
d1ction OF the G e as to the ulti-
mate course that the Chicago lines
would adopt. So long as the Chicago
Great Western stood alone in its offer
to grant the G.. A. r. the terms de-
sired, there was possibility that the
remaining five Chicago lines might
hold out, confident that one road could
not handle all the business. When the
Wisconsin Central also broke away
and followed the example of the Great
western, the chances of the combine
holding out We're materially lesenesd,
and now that the Minneapolis & st.
Louis has withdrawn from the agree
ment, there is no longer any doubt as
to the result. With three of the six
Chicago lines granting the desired rates
and thirty days extension ON tickets,
the Minneapolis, Omaha and Burling-
ton will scarcely stand by and see
these roads monopolize all the business.
Mr.. Scheffer Gen. Flower and ex-
Gov. McGill also called at the general
offices of the 500 road yesterday after.
noon, and were informed again thai
the 500 would make a rate of one cent
mile for the national encampment
and grant the desired extension.
In speaking of the matter yesterday.
A. b. Cults, general passenger agent oil
the st. Louis road, said
AT Tuesdays meeting of the West
ern Passenger association, which was
called at the request of Mr.. Kenyon
and myself, after it was apparent that
we could accomplish nothing in the
way OF legislation for ticket rates for
the Grand Army encampment, / refused
to subscribe to an agreement to take
no individual action, and went on rec
ord that we would avail ourselves at
the proper time of our rights under the
agreement.
Finding that it would somewhat
strengthen the probability of the en-
campment being held at st. Paul.
told the ST. Paul committee today that
the Minneapolis & ST Louis road
would sell tickets to Minneapolis and
st. Paul, on account of the G. A. r.
encampment, with as long time limits
as any road reaching these cities. This
would seem to meet the requirements
of Commander Walker, and there
should be no further doubt about
where the convention is to be held"

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. IA herald
ed event of alleged political significance,
that has once been postponed, took
place here tonight when Gov and Mrs.

ty-eight invited guests, including all
the political leaders of prominence in
said that this dinner was to be the
practical acceptance of the presidential
offers of his friends in the state by
Gov. Morton. The mansion was brill
liant with light, and the dining room,
which is altogether too small for the
entertainment of any large-sized par
ty, was beautifully arranged with
palms. Gov. and Mrs. Morton received
their guests in the drawing room. The
arrangement of the guests at table was,
from a political and a social stand
point, very excellent.

Mr.. REILLY WAS NOT THERE

GOV. MORTON GIVES A BANQUET
At Which All the Big Republican
Leaders of New York Are
Present.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Tammanv
leaders assembled tonight in the wig
wan on Fourteenth street for the pur-
pose of holding a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee. The session was a
very brief and harmonious one, and the
object for which the sachems assem-
bled was apparently that of giving a
vote of confidence in John C. Sheehan.
The action of ex-Register John Reilly.
at the Croker dinner Saturday night
last, when he peremptorily demanded
to know who made John C. Sheehan
leader, created something of a commo-
ton in the ranks.
1t was, therefore, resolved to bring
the matter up before the executive
committee at it's meeting tonight. All
of the members of the committee were
present with the exception of Congress
men Sulzer, Cummings and George B.
McClelland. The meeting was presided
over by Excise Police Commissioner
James j. Martin, and, after it was
called to order, the report of the COM
mittee who had the big feast at the
Savoy hotel in, charge was submitted.
1t showed that balance of S1,136 was
left over, which was directed to be
turned over to the treasurer of the So
ctety to be devoted to the Tammany
pension fund. When this had been
disposed of, w. E. Stillings arose and
offered the following resolution, which
was seconded by County Clerk Purroy
and Col. Michael G. Murphy:
Resolved That we approve the appointment
by the chairman of this organization of the
Hon. John G. Sheehan as chairman of the
finance committee, believing that he has
shown during the recent campaign the pos
session of those qualities which have not
alone endeared him to US as man, but have
also won our respect as the leader of this or
ganization, and We hereby individually and
collectively pledge to him as our leader our
most hearty and sincere support.
The reading Of this resolution was
greeted with faint applause, and on the
call Of the roll it was unanimously
adopted, thus settling, any doubt as to
Mr.. Sheehan's authority. The climax
to the meeting was the election of Mr..
Croker as an honorary member of the
executive COMMITTEES Mr.. Croker and
Mr.. Reilly were not present at the
meeting tonight.

TUBES ARE NOT NEEDED.
Another Development of Rays by
Buffalo Scientist.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 14-Aecording to
Buffalo scientist Crooses tube or any sub
stitute for 1t is not essential to cathode or TX
rays" photography. DR.. Elmer G. Starr, an
oculist of considerable reputation as a man Of
science, has been experimenting extensively
with Prof. Roentgen's new discovery, and now
declares that it is not necessary to have a
vacuum for the production of the x rays, but
that they may be produced in the open atmos-
phere. This result, It is believed has not
been before announced as having been accom-
pIished.
Acting on the theory that the rays are
generated under all conditions when there is
discharge of an electric current Of high po-
tential, DR.. Starr made the attempt to obtain
photograph without using the vacuum tube.
In its stead he pasted on piece of paper two
strips of tin foil, through which he passed the
secondary current. The strips were about an
inch and half long, and at intervals of about
a quarter OF an inch he cut out some of the
tin foil making gaps or spaces about an eighth
of an inch wide. When the current was
passed through these strips 1t produced num-
Der of sparks, the jumping of the electricity
from one section of the tin foil to the next be-
Ing the cause. DR.. Starr next placed a
dry plate piece of tin foil, out OF which he
had cut V-shaped tongue, and disc of alum
mum. The plate he placed in an ordinary
plate holder, and inserted the slide, which is
of thick press board. The slide he placed be-
tween the prepared tin foil strips, and turned
on the current
When the plate was developed not vestige
of the aluminium disc appeared, showing that
the rays must have passed completely
through the plate. No print has yet been
made of the plate. but when that is done the
resulting photograph instead of showing the
Opaque substance in darker shades, will make
the light parts appear dark and the dark light.
DIR. Starr has not yet been able to formulate
theory to account for the generation of the
rays without the vacuum. He is Zealously
continuing his experiments.
ORANGE, N. J., Feb 14-As a result of the
experiments which Thomas A. Edison has
been making for the past two weeks with
fiuorescent tubes and Roentgen rays, that in
ventor announced tonight that within twenty
four hours he expected to have so far perfected
his tubes to be able to make snapshot
photographs through any substance of medium
thickness except steel or iron.
Mr.. Edison today succeeded in getting
clearly defined images Of strips Of various
metals on sensitized plate. The rays had
penetrated heavy piece of cardboard and
vulcanized plateholder in getting to the plate
in seconds. Mr.. Edison also tried today to
send the X rays over telephone wire, but
the trial was unsuccessful.

WILL BUILD AN AUDITORIUM
In Which to Hold the Republican
Convention MT St Louis


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14.-The committee
on hall of the Republican national con-
vention met here this morning, Gen.
Powell Clayton, of Arkansas; Henry c.
Payne, by John w. Ewing, of Wiscon-
sin, proxy, and Col. r. G. Kerins, of st.
Louis, being present. After comforting
with the local committee and their
architect and carefully examining all
OF the plans and propositions, they de-
cided that the Exposition building was
not so constructed as to afford the best
facilities for the accommodation of the
convention, and the seating of $4,000
people, so that all could see and hear.
They also decided that a wigwam was
not desirable; whereupon the local COM
m1ttee generously acceded to the wishes
of the hall committee, and agreed to
build an auditorium, especially design
ed in all it's appointments to fully
meet the requirements of the conven-
ton, and to seat not less than 1900
persons. The location of the conven-
ton auditorium is to be left to the local
committee of st. Louis, subject to the
approval of the hall committee.
