Recommends Men for the GilrOy and Santa Clara
 Offices.
Los Gatos Merchants Protest Against the Free Rural
 Delivery.
In Order to Reduce Expenses It Is Proposed to Consolidate Num-
 Der of Offices.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House.

Call Office, Riggs House,
 Washington, Jan. 4.
 Congressman Loud was at the Post office Department to-day and recom- mended Postmasters for the cities of Santa Clara and Gilroy in his district. Richard Ryan was recommended for the office at Gilroy and A. A. Withrow at Santa Clara. Both are Presidential offices. There were several candidates for each of the places.
 MT. Loud has received from Los Gatos several petitions against the proposed free rural delivery system to be established in that vicinity. with the town of Campbell as the central distributing point. It appears from this petition, which is signed by mer- chants of the place, that they are fear full that Los Gatos will lose the trade of those ruralists who have been as- customed to go there to get their mail. These merchants contended that 1t will work great hardship to them 1T the town of Campbell is made the free delivery distributing point, as the farmers have for many years been ac- custOmed to coming to Los Gatos for their mail, and at the same time pur- chased their goods there, but MT. Loud very properly replied that such selfish considerations ought not to prevail, and that the convenience of mail Ia cilities in the outlying districts should be considered. 1nasmuch as there has been a proposition considered to re- duce Postoffice Department expendi- lures by looping off S6me of the car riers in the big cities, other members of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads have proposed that the force of carriers in the big cites De reduced.
 MT. Loud assents 70 this. but thinks that a better way might be to consoli- date the smaller postoffices within a certain radius with some central of- fees. One instance of a successful con- solidation of this kind is at India napolis, Ind. A number of suburban offices within a short distance of 1n- ] dianapolis were abolished. The main of flee was then called Greater Indian apolis" and the smaller postoffices were made 'sub-stations" and an agent ap- pointed for each of them, under the di- rection of the Postmaster at Indiana polls. MT. Loud suggested that this system might be put into practice in many thickly settled communities, as for instance that in the nsighborhood of Leland Stanford University, where a number of smaller offices might be abolished by consolidation. This would ] save about $20, 900 that is now paid in 1 salaries to these several postmasters l and this money could be used for free | rural delivery in that vicinity. This | was merely a tentative suggestion or ! the part of Mir. Loud, and has not yet i received serious consideration.

COULD FORECLOSE
 ON THE CENTRAL Attorney General McKenua Says the Road Is in
 Default. Meanwhile Huntingdon Is Trying to Prevent Action by the Gov
 ernnaent

Special Dispatch 10 The Call
 NETWORK. Jan. "A special to the Mail and Express from Washington says: Attorney General McKenna stated this afternoon that in his opin- ion the Government could foreclose on the Central Pacific road in view of the default of s106li,210 worth of bonds last Saturday. but he did not believe it possible 10 take any immediate steps in the matter in view of the reassembling Of Congress tomorrow.
 Although Judge McKenna did not say so 1t is well known at the Depart ment Of Justice that the course to be followed by the Government in this matter is to he left until Governor Griggs IS appointed Attorney-General and takes office. but as Attorney-Gen- eral Mckenna holds that the Govern ment can foreclose this will no doubt be the administration course
 IL is understood here that c. P. Huntington is endeaToring 10 arrange with English holders of bonds for an extension of at least one year.
 If Huntington cannot make arrange ments with English holders of securi- ties in default foreclosure will have to come. and the Government, of course will act with foreign bondholders so as 10 protect itself.
 President Coilis P. Huntington of the Central Pacific Railroad had nothing to add to-day to the statement of the condition of the road which he made in interviews yesterday. He said then that some satisfactory arrangement could be made when the debt becomes due, and that he thought a receiver fol the road would have a tendency to re- duce the earnings one-third- A rep reSentative of Speyer & Go, who is- sued sSe, coo. .000 of the first mortgage bonds Of the company. said to-day that as the bonds were about to mature something would have to be done to satisfy the holders.

Damages Not Allowed for Ill., Treatment in
 Mexico.
Arqentina's Minister Decided the Case by Ignoring All
 Legal Points.
Peculiar Lack Of Perception, Without Parallel in the History of
 Arbitration.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office. Riggs House,

Washington, Jan. 4.
 The cause of arbitration in the set clement of claims between nations has received a severe check in the award by the arbitrators in the case of Ober- lander and Messenger. who claimed s50, ,000 and S25, ,000 respectively for ill., treatment by the Mexican authorities. The arbitrator was the Argentine Min ister at Madrid. Senor Queseda, and his decision was in favor of the Mexican Government and against the American claimants. The discouraging feature of the decision is that in making the de- cision the arbitrator apparently over looked every point of law, according to the English standard, and decided the case with reference 10 his sympathies.
 It is said that a more extraordinary opinion than this from a legal stand point of view was never seen at the State Department. Oberlander was a Deputy Sheriff in California and he was kidnapped and then taken across the border by Mexican officers. Mrs. Messenger. in whose house he had taken refuge, was ill-treated. When it came to rendering his decision the ar bitrator. it is said, ignored the facts and reasoned that because the United States Government had not recognized the rights Of the Chinese Government to indemnity for the killing of Chinese at Rock Springs, Wyo., while insisting upon indemnity for losses sustained by American missionaries in China we could not expect to have an indemnity awarded our citizens in such cases as this.
 This peculiar lack of legal perception is said. at the State Department, to be almost without a parallel in the history of arhitrations, and has undoubtedly done much to prevent the submission of other claims to arbitration, unless il can first be. shown that the arbitrator is familiar with the principles of com mon law, according to the English standards.

THE MANGO.

Some people take to olives, caviare
and some to complicated cheese with
out any preliminary training, by q
sort of instinct They are so very
few that they serve only as hinted
proof of the doctrines of heredity and
atavism. The mango of the tropics
falls in the same class, fact which
Gen. Merritt's army of occupation is
going to discover for itself as soon as
it begins the soldiers soulful inyesti-
cation of the indigenous com missiariat
Of the Philippines.
The mango is of the size Of an ap-
pie and something the shape Of a
pear that that has turned somer-
sault and has landed on the stem big
end to. Its color is q rich and dark
green with a blotch of salmon on one
one side. 1t is impossibls to bite
into it as one would bite into a pear,
for two reasons-the skin is too tough
and the stone is fully half as large as
the whole fruit. The only way is to
nibble off the skin, tor it is too juicy
to be pared; gnaw the skin off one
side until considerable portion is
exposed of the red fesh. Then suck
in the juices and the meat together
until the stoLe presents itself The
next feat is to get the stone and the
other side of the fruit into the mouth
while leaving the remainder Of the
skin outside and cleer of the meat.
In this ungraceful operation one
speedily learns that the mango belongs
to the natural order of clingstones.
The remainder of the process is to
eject the stone, which is an uncom-
fortably large mouthful. When one
has eaten all the mangoes he cares to
take at one sitting, it is necessary to
take bath and change the clothing
in order to get rid Of the superabun-
dance of juice aud pulp which will
smear the face and daub the apparel
despite all precautions.
AS to the flavor of the mango, and
no one would bother with the ex-
tremely sloppy fruit if it we're not
for real enjoyment of the flavor, it is
possible to make q trial trip. Set q
large clingstone peach to soak over
night in diluted turpentine and the
mex. morning it will satisfactorily
suggest the first taste of the mango
The smack of turrentine and resin is
most prominent in the skin, but 1t is
quite arked in the juice and pulp.
After cultivating the taste most peo-
pie consider the mango the finest
fruit of the tropics, and recognize
dozen varieties by the varying strength
of the turpentine. BUT no amount q
cultivation of the taste will ever avail
to solve the real trick of the mango,
that is, to eat it without needing
bath afterward.-N. Y. Sun.

DAUGHTER OF CoNFEDERACY
The Title Passed When Miss Win

REYNOLDS (Ga.), Sept. 30-General
John b. Gordon, Commander-in-C Chief

was shown the Associated Press dis
patch from Chicago in which Miss
Lucy Hill claims to have had the title
Daughter of the Confederacy'' con-
ferred upon her by her Southern
friends since the death of Winnie Da-
Wis, and was asked if the title could
be thus transferred. He replied with
great earnestnesS:
'Emphatically no. In the very ma
ture of the case, no OrS except Miss
Winnie Davis is entitled to be called
the Daughter of the Confederacy.
That title was unique and peculiarly her
own, and is very properly to be placed
upon her tomb. To designate any one
else by that title would be almost a
sacrilege

1898 the quantity had fallen to li9,-
S59, POS pounds.
The "Kolnische Zeitung" is translated
by Consul Petit at Dusseldorf, as ex-
planning that the principal reason for
the decline of German exports to the
United States must be sought in the
new tariff. The general inquiry made
by the Prussian Chamber of Commerce
was unfavorable to war tariff legisla-
ton. All the importing houses are
against a war tariff, and a large ma
jority of the exporting firms are like
wise adverse. That important paper
then proceeds to say that further in
crease of American customs rates
would cause the breaking off of all
business relations, especially the loss
of the greater part of the American
markets to German products. This mar
ket would at once be taken by England
| and France
