Ten keyless and thief-proof street
letter-boxes will soon be placed in Wash
!ngton for practical test. The box Is
the invention of Count di Brazzi, Italy's
commissioner to the Worlds Fair, who
recently perfected the automatic letter
registry box now in use at the general
postoftice in New York City. The new
letter-boX is somewhat larger than the
largest now in use and resembles it In
general appearance, except on the race
and at the bottom, where there are
1langeS or hooks on when TO adjust the
letter collectors bag while the contents
of the box are transferred automati-
cally.
1t will be impossible for any one,
either collectors or thieves. to abstract
letters. The collector does not see the
letters be collects. They are not seen
nor handled by any one from the time
they are dropped into the box until they
reach the clerk who stamps them in the
postoffice.
The boxes are equipped with combi-

birth OF her G,O00th child to whom she
had given services, and. in honor OF
that event, she invited all the children
whom she had helped to come into the

THE HOUSE.

S3DDAY. The crowds which thronged
the galleries of the House were disap.
pointed. There we're no outbreaks of
any kind on the floor on tho Cuban
question. The whole day wss spent on
tho private calendar, with the result
that several bills were PASSED, among
them one to pay the heirs of John
Roach. the ship builder, $3.50, OOO ou u
claim which has been pending dozen
years. and another to pay o. Z. Bosby-
shell, superintendent of the PhiladsI-
phia mint, $1,000, extracted from the
gold vaults by weigh clerk. At 5:J5
y. m. the House took recess until 8
p. In. the evening session being de-
voted to the consideration of pension
legislation.
S4TH DAY. After waiting patiently
in the galleries and corridors OF the
House for hours. many Of them from 8
O'Clock until shortly before 3 o'clock p.
M, the thousands who had come to
hear the Presidents Cuban message
turned away weary and disgusted at
the delay Never was there such dis
appointment at the capitol. The mem,
bers felt it even more keenly than the
spectators, and for two hours afterward
they stood about tho lobbies discuss
ing the latest phase of the situation.
The news OF the proposed armistice,
which came ou the heels OF the
announcement that General Lee
had cabled for delay received quite
rs much attention as the request of
General Lee. The debate in progress
in the House over the army reorganiza.
ton bill attracted little or no attention.
1t was completely overshadowed by the
more absorbing question. Considerable
opposition to the bill developed on the
ground that its provision for an e1ten-
sion of the regular army in time Of war
TO 1O4, 600 men would be inimical to the
National Guard and the volunteer forces
upon which the country had heretofore
relied in time of stress. There will be
IA strong effort to recommit the bill.
S5rH DAv-There was a scene OF
great excitement in the House. It wAs
caused by Lentz Dem. J. Of Ohio. who
made vigorous assault on the admin
istration, charging that the policy Of
delay was in the interest OF stock job
Lcrs in Wall street, He alleged that
Wall street was in the possession OF in-
formation that the message would not
20 in long before it was known at the
capitol, and profited by the advance in
the price of stocks which resulted. He
even charged that there was no warrant
for the alarming statements about
the situation in Havana. which were
made as a justification for the delay
of the message. Lentz's speech created
a profound sensation, and was met with
an emphatic reply from Grosvenor,
now recognized as the administrations
spokesman Oh the floor. A great dea!
of opposition developed during the day
