Postal Savings Bank.

One of the men that has been
closely allied with the movement to
establish a system of postal savings
banks In the United States Is Don
A. Palmer, of Duluth. MINI. Dur
ing the last session of Congress bill
was drafted by Mr.. Palmer, and
placed In the hands of the congress
man from his district. This will be
introduced at the next session of
Congress. The bill provides that no
more than $500 shall be received in
deposits from single person and
that 3 percent shall be paid on de-
posits. The bill also provides that
any multiple of$25, after having been
on deposite for one year, can be
changed to interest bearing bonds.
A bill has also been drafted by the
Chicago record, one of the news pa
pers that has taken great I'M erest In
the establishing of the system, that
resembles Mr.. Palmer's bill In some
respects, but differs in the essential
features. 1t provides that deposits
may be received from a single person
to the amount OF $500, and that the
interest paid shall be but two per
cent. Another difference In the
two bills Is that the Record bill does
not provide for the changing Of de-
posits to interest bearing bonds.
Mr.. Palmer, In speaking of the
matter, said: "The one great draw.
back to the success of our efforts has
been the ignorance of the people gen.
orally In regard to postal savings
banks. / would venture to say that
not 20 per cent of the people of the
United states know that such q
thing as postal savings bank exists
and do not know what 1t means to
the people. There Is q vast amount
of money that is ia the hands of the
people that is boarded for q rainy
day. The people will not deposit this
money, for they are afraid of our
banks, but just as soon as they see
that they can be secured by the gov
ernment this money will get into
circulation. We are doing ali that
lies 10 our power to bring the matter
to the attention of the people, by
sending out printed literature on
the subject, and / feel that 1t will
not be long until our efforts will be
rewarded"

Canada in 1868. The system 10 sim

Highbinders-The See Yup aud Sam Yup
Societies In DOadiy Hostility.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-The assas-
sination by highbinders Saturday
evening of Fong Ching, otherwise
known as Little Pete" has created u
greater sensation In Chinatown than
any other happening in years. The
streets in that quarter are crowded
with exultant members of the See
Yup society of Highbinders who are
celebrating the death of their most
powerful enemy. 1t is said that the
murdered man was to receive $4,000
for destroying tho See Yup society,
and that he was backed in his efforts
by the Chinese vice-consul, King
Owyang.
The consulate is heavily guarded, as
1t is well known that the See Yups
have placed price of $4,000 on the
head of the vice-consul. 1t is under
stood that the assassins of Little
Pete" received $4,000 for their work.
The Sam Yups have been thrown into
disorder by the death of their leader,
but it is expected that when reorgan-
lied they will execute summary and
adequate vengence upon the See Yups.
Wong Sing and Chin Foy, the two
men under suspicion of having killed
Little Pete preserve stoical silence
in their cells in the city prison. They
both claim to have a perfect alibi.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The cold wave
which reashed Chicago last night
tightsued its grip to-day and at mid
night Chicagoans were shivering In a
16-below.zero atmosphere. At eight
o'clock this morning the thermometer
registered IA below. The temperature
then moderated somewhat, but at no

rise above three below. Shortly after
sunset the temperature began drop

be a record-breaker. The weather
bureau promises no relief for four or
five days The suffering among the
poor is intense and Mayor Swift will
issue proclamation calling for bread
for the starving.
According to reports made to the
mayor by the bureau Of charities and
other committees that have applied to
him, the number of destitute families
Is increasing each day until the con-
ditions In some parts Of the city are
appalling. Immediate relief is neces-
sary, or, 1t is said, many will die of
starvation and cold. The police sta
tions all over the city are filled with
lodgers. Hundreds Of homes are with
out fuel or food and skilled workmen
are begging on the streets.
Committees on charitable institu.
tions and many individual philanthro.

actual cases of starvation have as yet
been reported, but many are suffering

Distributions of fuel and food have
been carried on by the bureau of
charities, but they say they are unable
to take care of one-tifth of the people
who beg assistance. County Commits
sioner Healey reported to Mayor Swift
yesterday that the lists of needy are
growing at the rate of from 900 to 500
families a day. These are not the
families of paupers, but skilled work.
men who are unable to get work.
Last nights blizzard continued until
early this morning. There was no
serious delay to street car traffic and
the thoroughfares were kept open by
the hundreds of men who were kept
at work all night. Many of those suf-
fering from want were given an op-
portunity to earn few pennies by
clearing away the snow.
All trains are late but the delay is
not serious.
Through the suggestion of Mayor
Swift, Chief of Police Baden och issued
an order tonight which will facilitate
the furnishing of relief to such as are
In danger from the want of food or
fuel. The patrolmen throughout the
city were ordered to make reports on
all cases of extreme destitution and
explain the character of relief re-
quired. On all such reports immedi-
ate assistance will be rendered.
