Tens of thousands of men are in distress,
many of them actually verging on starva-
ton.
There is no hope of relief in sight. Con-

clothing, food and shelter.
"A million altruists will be organized to
provide the means, each voluntarily making

CARRYING THE OCEAN MAIL
Features of Work Accomplished
by the Postal Union Congress.
REDUCED TRANSIT RATES
Sharp Discussions Indulged in by
Delegates latina mericans Had
Slight Representation on Commit
tees-They, However, Maintained
Firm stand.

The postal congress has been particularly
secretivc regarding the work accom- plished,
principally OH account OF the universal
desire that the Geliier ations toe kept secret
untilthe formal acts of the congress should
Zoe signed. The signing took place ycster-
day and there is no longer any necessity :
OF maintaining the reserve.
The most important feature OF the con
grcsS was Tie reduction OF the rate paid
for mails in transit over this point the
debate was long and spirited, ard if it
had not been for the firm stand Ia ken by
the Latiu-Amcrican delegates in the very
beginning, the plan for the reduction OF
the rates would have failed A : II was the
Zines were at lrSt sharply drawn between
tuC nat ious interested IN maintaining the
rates and those seeking a reduction. But
after the closing of the debate these lines
practically disappeared and the vote was
almost unanimous IN favor OF the propo-
sitiOn
ln the congresses OF the Postal Union
the vote is taken by states, so that the
smallest state in the world is as powerful
in votes as the largest. II was OnI Y on This
account that the plan of securing d reiuo-
ton IN The rates was successfully con-
summated. The carrying of mails is done
principally by three or four of the greater
countries OF the world The larger part
ef all the mails Of the world which cross
the seas are carried in English ships For
the carving OF the mails To and from Ing
land and it, colonies England makes nn-
tracts with the Shipowners England
pays the outgoing mail charges. and the
country al the other end OF the route pays
the incoming charges. But the rate 81
lowed to England and the other countries
Interest ed in the carrying OF ma ritImc mails
Is far in excess OF the cost OF trsnSpp rta-
ton. SO hat England has made considerable
money out Of the postal business. The
same is true with France, Italy aud other
countries Of Europe. through which mail
destined for countries further tow ard the
interior Of Europe must pass. They con-
tract with the railroads at a lower rate
than they receive from the Postal Union.
and thus secure a profit.
For many years. almost, in fact. since the
the organization Of the union. cert am Of
the EuToUeau countries who do not carry
much mail. have attempted to secure a
reduction OF tie present rates But op
posed to them they found England, France
and other Of the greater European nations.
and the movements ALWAYS resulted in a
failure European powers Of lesser de
gree are accustomed to being dictated %
by the greater powers, 50 it was not until
they hreathed the free air OF the new
world that they shOnk off SuCh domino
ton, and, by uniting with the republics OF
the three Americas. that they succeeded tn
accomplishing their ends. The credit. how
ever. Of taking the initiative step is due
20 the Latin-American delegates, and IL
was principally through their efforts that
the reduction was accomplished.
