John A. Merritt third assistant postmas-
ter general, has written under the date OF
October IS 4 letter in which he knocks out
| the hopes of several insurance companies
which have been taking risks on the safe
carriage of currency and gold through the
| registered mails. In view of the fact that
a great deal of attention has been attract
ed to the fact that a great deal of money
is being transported over the country by
the banks in Uncle Sans mail bags. the
insurance companies haye been advocating
and agitating the project of having the
postofiice department equip the mail cars
with steel burglar and fire proof safes.
General Merritt was asked if any such pre-
caution was likely to be taken, to which
he says in reply:
The postottice department is contem-
plating no changes in registering mail mat

The registry branch of the postal busi-
ness is handled by the third assistant post

AFRICA A BONE OF CONTENTION
American Bishop Predicts That Eu-
rOpean Nations Will War on
Its Soil.

From the Lynchburg Advance.
1t has been predicted that Africa would
be the theater of the great struggle be-
tween European powers in the next CEN
tury, as America was in the last two Gen.
turies. Bishop Hartell. of the Methodist
Episcopal church, after close observation
of the situation, indorses the opinion.
There are already signs of the coming
trouble. Germany is watching British
progress in Africa with jealous eye and
only wants a .prete>> to interfere in or
der to stop that progress. The French
are continually encroaching on the sphere
of British influence. and though the French
government disowns the acts of OverZeal-
GUS French officers. still the government
holds whatever they acquire. Africa is 4
rich prize, and English, Germans and
French. to say nothing of Italians. will all
seek to gain as large a slice of the conti-
nent as possible. 1t requires no prophetic
powers to predict that England will out
strip all her rivals in the race. She has 4
firm foothold now both in Egypt and South
Africa. and every year Is acquiring addi-
tional territory. England is the great col
onizer of the age. and her great naval
power will give her an immense advantage
in the coming struggle.

OMAHA is AFTER THE SAME.

As shown in the dispatches in The Jour-

fast mails. They have observed in that
city, the mail service recently added TO
Kansas City and they are forced to re-
mark that fast mails are good thing Tor
Kansas City and would be for Omaha if
they could get them. The Omaha papers
show no Ill feeling because Kansas City
has succeeded and they have not. This is
a commendable spirit and one that serves
good in the great West. Omaha will GER
tainly have fast mails some time. just as all
cities are provided with such facilities. re-
sulting from long and persistent effort 10

The business men of Kansas City fully
appreciate that transportation facilities are
a potent factor in building up great city.
business comes with facilities TO take care
of it and increased facilities mean increased
business.
The Importance of fast mails for Kansas
City. made a part of the general railway

This is good enough for any city and prom
ises development unequaled by the outlook
in any other city in the country
The change of time in the fast mail to the
West over the Santa Fe that takes place on
the 21st will enable the wholesale trade of
Kansas City to get mail into Southwestern
Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and
Texas twelve hours ahead of the present
schedule. The saving of that much time
will be of wonderful advantage to the busi-
ness men of the city and will supply a need
and cattlemen, the bankers and others
whose business lies in that section.
For many years there has been 4 very
heavy night mail for the Southwest. Even
with the fast mail only connecting out as
far as Newton, ii has been shown that {,
great mass of matter was on hand each
morning for territory this side of that city.
With the complete connection for the West
and South at that point the mass of mail
that comes in nights after the early even
ing trains for the West leave that goes
beyond Newton must wait until the morn

rangement all of that mail will be away
down in the Southwest at the time it now
leaves the city. Letters can he written
