RURAL FREE DELIvERY.-A circular
letter has been issued by the first as
sistant postmaster general to the post
masters of the one hundred or
more Offices from which the pres
emit experimental test of rural
free delivery radiates, informing
them that as Congress has continued
and increased the appropriation for the
coming fiscal year, all rural carriers in
the service may consider their contracts
renewed, unless otherwise ordered by
the postmaster general.
Applications for new service have
been received more than sufficient to
absorb the extra amount allowed by
Congress for this extension of the pos
tai free delivery system, but the de-
partment has under consideration q
plan of carefully alloting the ex-
ira service, ty means OF in
vestigation by special agents,
among such states and communities as
have not hitherto had any Of the ad-
vantages of rural free delivery, and in
localities where the service can be es-
tabl she'd at the least cost aud with a
certainty Of rendering the best results.
There are many districts where III al
free delivery can be started without
any extra cost to the government, by
the abolition OF star routes and minor
postofiices which will thus be superse.
ded. These, as far as possible, will be
given the preference in the new service.

BERLIN, July 2.-On the best au-
thority, the correspondent here of the
Associated Press is informed that Ger
many, France and Russia have reached
an understanding relative to the Philip
pine Islands. 1t is said these three
powers do not intend to actively inter-
fere until hostilities cease, after which
they will combine to prevent the United
States or Great Britain gaining posses
sion of the whole of the Philippine
Islands. When the war is over, an in
ternational Congress will be proposed,
similar to the Berlin congress of 1878,
to settle all questions connected with
the war. All the great powers will be
invited to join, including the United
States and Spain. 1t appears certain
that Germany will then demand a slice
of the Philippine Islands, or other com
pensation in the far east. The CORES.
pondent OF the Associated Press has re-
ceived confederation of the above facts
from authentic sources.
The same authority says Germany is doing
a thriving business in provisions and in am
muuitiol and small arms, through Hamburg
merchants, vino are selling both to Spain and
the United States.
The German government has ordered tn t
three cruisers be kept in the West Indian Wa
tiers from the autumn.
In spite of the war, the German exports to
America are as large as ever.

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY ., 1888

To SHOW that some people look at
objects through glasses colored by their
own individual feelings, is proved by
the fact that the New York Herald says
the present, has been most prosperous
year, and that more money is in circu-
lation, and the people of the country
have more of it, than ever before. The
condition of the people OF the national
capital and the neighboriug cities is
fair sample of that of those of all the
rest ofthe country, butifany one ofthem
has said there is more money in circu-
lation now, or that he has more OF it
than ever before, ne must have spoken
in such low tones that nobody heard
him.

As ANTICIPATED, the democ- attic
convention that met here to-day renom
mated Congressman Rixey without the
slightest opposition. Mr.. Rixey has
made very popular and efficient rep
resentatiye, and will doubtless receive
the votes of all the democrats in his
district. So certain is his election, that
the opinion of many republicans in the
district is, that ii would be a waste OF
time, trouble and expense to put up a
candidate against him.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, July 2.
SENATE.

Mr.. Petligrew then resumed mis-
speech upon the Hawaiian annexation
the preceding parts of bis
speech having been delivered ten days
since.
Mr.. Pettigrew said annexation was
not desired by majority OF Hawaiian
citizens and it would be out OF accord
with the spirit of democratic govern
meut to annex against the will of the
majority.
MIR. Hoar endeavored to secure con-
sideration OF the bill to allow volunteer
soldiers to vote but Mr.. Pettus objected,
saying he was determined in his oppo-
sition to j.. Mr. Hoar then gave motto g
that he would move 10 lake up the bill
ut the earliest time after disposal of tie
Hawaiian resolutions.
The Senate then passed with amend
ment the House bill TO increase the
force of the ordnance department.
MIR. Davis objected to the transaction
Of further business and Mr.. Pettigrew
resumed.
Turning to the republican members
constituting the major part of annexa
ton support he criticised them for
their silence, charged them with be-
ing "bulldozed" into keeping their lips
closed when great question was before
the Senate. The administration, he
asserted, had demanded that anneXa.
ton be accomplished and Senators were
so under its control that they dared not
open their mouths for fear they would
cause delay and incur the Presidents
iispleasure. He charged them with
having none but the "ilimsiest" reasons
for their faith. "We will talk here all
next week." he finally declared, after
repeatedly defying the annexationists
10 speak, ''but we do not expect to
smoke you out because you fear You
may lose the appointment OF brigadier
general"
He said the sugar trusts interest
was with annexation 1--WE all know
what Senators on this floor have been
in the past" he declared, friends OF
the sugar trust, and now every one Of
hem is in favor of annexation. That
IN itself is sufficient answer to their
miserable contention" Speaking Of the
advocacy OF the resolutions by certain
papers he said "Their eagerness would
indicate that they would not only re-
ceive q part OF the RENTED duties from
annexation but were now partakiDg Of
contingent fees" He then spoke OF
the revolution in Hawaii as the result
Of conspiracy upon the part Of 8 few
Americans.
He was interrupted by Mr.. Hale,
who presented partial report of
The conferees upon the general de-
lici4ncy bill, which was adopted with
out debate. In response to a question
from Mr.. White he stated the chief
matter yet in disagreement was the
amendment providing for commission
10 settle thePacic railroad Indebtedness
and Mr.. White announced that no con-
cession by the Senate upon that matter
as to the railroads interest could be
reached without very much greater de-
lay than perhaps any one anticipated.
Mr.. Pettigrew then resumed his
speech.
Discussing the establishment of the
present Hawaiian republic he said {:
The American flag went upon Hawaii
in dishonor: it came down in honor,
and if it goes up again now it will 90
up in infamy and shame and this gov
eminent will join the robber nations OF
the world"

WHEN the Dingley high tariff bill
was passed, its advocates said it would
accomplish its object-the raising of an
amount of money requisite for meeting
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment. But that it has not done so is
made plain by the fact that the Gus
toms receipts, under that bill, were
tweuty-six and a half million dollars
less than those of the previous year,
under the Wilson moderate tariff bill.
But republican legislation rests or

UNDER THE steamboat laws, the num-
Der of passengers to be carried by every
boat is limited TO certain specified
lumber, but, during the excursion sea-
