UNIVERSAL POSTAL CoNeREss.
Delegates from, About Sixty Nations
Meet inS.N IN shincfau.

De1cS0te$ ADOuT
Meet fnsNashfngton.
Washington, May 6-The universal
postal congress met in the great hall of
the old Corcoran art gallery. About
60 countries, comprising most of those
in the postal union, were represented.
Corea, China and the Orange Free
state, which are now outside the pale
of the union, had delegates present. 1t
is expected that the work of the con-
gress will extend over about six weeks.
Most of the work will be transacted by
committees, which will submit the re-
suit of their labors to the congress
about once week. The present postal
agreement will be revised and renewed.
Several important questions will be
considered, among them a proposition
to transmit the official mail of the
countries which are members of the
union free of charge, the question of
increasing the unit of weight to be
carried under a five-ccnt stamp from
one-half ounce to three-fourths of an
ounce, and also a proposition for a
universal stamp.
The hall presented brilliant APP
pearance when Gen. Batcheller, the
premier delegate of the United States,
called the congress TO order at II
O'Clock. The delegates were attired in
dress suits or full court costume, their
breasts bespangled with glittering in
sigma and enameled orders. The
oriental delegates were very pictur-
eseue in their flowing silken robes. The
Corean wore his box-like headgear and
the Turk his red fez. The decorations of
the hall were lavish. The walls were
rich with gorgeous tapestries and shone
with coats-of-arms. The prevailing col
ors were gold and crimson. The ses-
sions of the congress were held behind
closed doors. Postmaster General
Gary, Assistant Postmaster General
Heath, Gen. Batcheller and Capt.
Brooks did the honors. Postmaster
General Gary delivered the address of
welcome. NJ. De Lessert, on the part of
the congress, proposed Gen. G. S. Batch
eller, the oldest of the United States
delegates, as president of the congress,
and he was unanimously chosen. Gen.
Batcheller made fitting response in
French.
