wAsurvoroS, d. G.. (5peclaD.-The first
annual report Of Postmaster -GeneralJam
A, Gary to the President was made public.
It's feature is the strong advocacy OF postai
savings depositortes. Mr.. Gary says the
time is ripe for The establishment OF postal
banks, and thnt the addition OF a well-or-
ganlzed system would confer a great boon
upon an large number Of persons and ulti-
matcly be OF inestimable benefit to the
whole country.
The estimates of the revenues and ex-
penditures for the fiscal year ending June

g74. Gi7.37: estimated expenditures, lS53,

MIR. Gary in his report touches on a efe1t
variety of tones. In respect to second1
class mail matter carriage he urges tue
enactment by Congress OF some measure to
remedy the injustice OF the present regu-
IN this were done" he says, there,
would be an end to postal deficits ana W,
service could be enlarged and p~opularlYed
Nv a broad extension of free delivery With
ont infringement upon the general re-
sources of the Government, and eventually
result in the much desired reduction OF let
ter postage to one cent per ounce.
Mr.. Gary thinks no method OF perfecting
the organization Of the Postal Service has
proved more effective than the consolida-
tlon of Postolices. he regrets that there
are Legislative restrictions on Its develop
ment, and recommends the repeal OF the
nve-mile limit consolidation measure in the
1896 Postal Appropriation bill.
Sneaktng Of rural free delivery, Mr.. Gary
says the system, wherever tried, has been

The Barkentine Bering Arrives at
San Francisco.
Had on the Manifest a Consignment Of
Seven Thousand SeaIskins.
No Tidings Received Of the Over
due Steamer Cleveland-Two
Men Suspected of Robbing the
Mccormick Company's Store at
keswick Taken Into Custody.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-One
million dollars is the estimated value of
the cargo of the Russian barkentine
1sering. which arrived in port to-day.
The cargo represents the major portion
of the business done by the Russian seal
and fur company during the season just
closed. BY far the most important item
shown on the manifest is the consign-
ment of sealskins, numbering 1000.
There are several hundred bearskins, all
of the finest quality and a large num-
Ier of skins of almost all the animals
found in Arctic regions.
The Bering also has on board the fine
collection of natural history specimens
made by Professor Steinecher While he
was acting as a member of the Interna-
1ional Sealing Commission. These are
consigned to the Smithsonian lnstitu-
1ion and to the British Royal Museum.
The Bering sailed from Petropaulov-
sky, the headquarters Of the Russian
Seal and Fur Company, thirty-seven
days ago. She experienced bad weather
during the entire passage. Three un-
successful attempts were made to land
on Copper Island.
Captain Grondberg of the Bering says
that over 800 miles of the Trans-Siber-
ian Railway are now completed inland
