POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
MUCH INQUIRY IN REGARD TO
GARY'S PLANS.
The Proposition Of Postmaster.
General to Extend the Postal
Service Commended.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Postmas-
ter-General Gary is receiving many let
ters regarding the postal savings bank
proposition, strongly urged by him in
his annual report. Many people
throughout the country have written
him commenting on this projected radi-
cal extension of the postal service, and
have submitted some suggestions cal
oulated in their opinion to make the
scheme more feasible.
AS a whole, the CORES spondence in
dicates a rather general commendation,
and some well-known economists and
financiers numbered among the Post
master Generals friends, who have
heretofore opposed measures of this
character, have in letters just received
given an unqualified Endorsement.
Postmaster General Gary expects
some action by Congress in it's next
session. In an interview with the AS
sociated Press to-day, Mr.. Gary said:
Il am very much interested. and not
little gratified at the public criti-
cisms as reflected by the newspapers of
my recommendation in respect to pos
tai savings repositories. AS far as 1
have been able to discover. only two OBJ
jections have been seriously urged
against postal savings system. The
first, which never fails to turn up, is
the old contention that the Govern
ment ought not 'to go into the business
of collecting and taking care of the saw
ings of the people. l think this is an
objection which may properly be left to
Congress to answer The other is
based on generally admitted controv-
ersy of finding safe and proper methods
of putting accumulations to profitable
use
II deliberately abstained from setting
forth definite plan for the disposition
of the savings, for the reason that it is
a problem which deserves in its solu-
ton the benefit of widest experience
and highst wisdom. / contented my
self for the time with outlining briefly
number of suggestions, repeatedly
made by my predecessors in Office and
by others, and thereby inviting, as /
believed, that critical and helpful dis
cussion by the public. which has be-
gun already. Perhaps none of those sug-
gestions, nor all Of them put together
will prove equal to the task of obsorb-
ing profitably the collections of a pos
tai savings system, but / am convinced
that the national debt as it exists to-
day offers a temporary solution of this
difficulty.
II trust that the newspapers, which,
by the way treated my postal savings
recommendations handsomely, giving it
full and extensive circulation, will
keep up their criticisms, and that the
people will take it up, think about it.
write about it, and not forget to send
me the results of their thinking If
we all put our heads together the right
plan can be devised, and that is what
the country wants"

WHITE HOUSE RECEPTIONS.
THE OFFICIAL PROGRAMME
HAS BEEN ISSUED.
An Innovation Likely to Cause
Considerable Talk in WASH
ington Society Circles.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-The Of
fetal programme for the receptions Of
1898 at the White House by President
and Mrs. Mckinley has been issued. II
is as follows:
January 1st, Saturday.
public reception, IL a. m. to 1 30 %. m.
January 9th, ednesday-Diplomatic
judicial and Congressional reception. 8

gressional diplomatic and judicial re-
ception, to II y. m
February 10th, Wednesday-Public
reception, 8 to IL .. m.
Invitations will not include all the
receptions, but during the season all
persons in official life viii be invited.
Ihe official programme says:
All of these events, excepting the
New Years reception and the public
receptions. will be by card invitations:
only those invited will be present. but
all who are entitled will be given an
opportunity to be present at least once
curing the season. The avoidance of
excessive and dangerous crowding will
add to the atractiveness of all the re-
ceptions"
This is a decided change from the
previous official receptions. when inyi-
tations included all persons in official
life for all the receptions. 1t is stated
that the division has been made to
avoid large crowds, but ii is an innoya-
tion that doubtless win cause consider
able animated talk in Washington So
eiety circles.
There is a promise that the fine old
customs OF the days of pretty Dolly
Madison, when the hours went around
the dial to the sound of flute" are to
be resumed in the White House.
The presence in the official household
of several pretty nieces. the many at
tractive daughters of members of the
Cabinet, and news of long list of
girls to be entertained by Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hobart, have set the ball
of public opinion on this subject roll
ing with tremendous impetus. The
conservative objections of Mckinley
bid fair TO be- bowled aside by sheer
force of youth. and the ever-increasing
prosperity that has put warm, new
blood into the social arteries in the
capital

Sixteen Head of Cattle Burned ia

TOPEKA Kan), Nov 22-Sixteen
head of cattle We're roasted alive in a
Santa Fe cattle car at Wakarusa Sta
tion last night. The believing of the
tortured beasts could be heard for miles
and attracted the entire inhabitants of
the surrounding country to the scene.
The car was in the middle of the stock

on fire. All possible efforts were made
to reach the water tank at Wakrusa.

tank, the flames We're beyond control in

either side The burning car was un-
coupled from the train, and the efforts
of the trainmen directed to saving the
other cars. They were broken open and

fire in these two cars was extinguished
For almost an hour scores of specta-
tors watched the cattle in the isolated

TURKEYS NAVY.
The Government Postpones Its Re-
organization Plans.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22.-The
Turkish Government announces the
postponement until spring of it's naval
reorganization plans. This is undoubt-
edly due to the representations of Rus
sia to the effect that arrears of the
war indemnity are still
due. and that If Turkey persists in
spending large sums upon the construc-
ton of her navy, Russia will insist upon
the payment of the arrears. Therefore
the announcement just made by the
Porte is equivalent to an indefinite
shelving of the preparation to build the
Turkish navy, and decided setback
for the policy of Germany, which has
been extremely solicitous of taking part
in rebuilding the Turkish fleet.

CUBAN TARIFF.

MADRID, Nov. 22-The Cuban tariff
is the subject of considerable heated
discussion here.
The Cuban reformists have published
a. manifesto, claiming for the Cubans
right to establish their own tariff, on
the ground that the tobacco monopoly
prevents commercial reciprocity be-

to intervene in Cuban tariff matters.

ers have to pay a majority of the Gu
ban debts. while they obtain no ad-
