of misplaced confidence, but he failed and
the jury convicted him of entering and

away from Goetz's house, and he had a
quantity of the stolen goods in his ~Tosses-
sion. He was caught by a mot9rman
and turned over to Policeman Tone.
The defendant said that ne was q cigar
maker. but at the time of this occu srence
he was out of employment. A ma who
was a stranger to him, but who ocked
honest met him in a pool room in New
York and invited him to come to Jersey
City and he would show him now ne could
raise $13 to buy a ticket to C~hicagosAfhe
stranger left him standing in front of
Goetz's house While he went inside. IN q
few minutes the stranger came out and
handed him a bundle. Then the stranger,
to Delegar's amazement ran away and
Delegar, not knowing what else TO do,
followed his example. Assistant Prose-
cutor Van Nlnkie got the prisoner all
mixed up on characterization and after
he was convicted Delegar shook his INST at

CHEAP OCEAN MAIL.


IBy Gable to The Associated Press.j
LONDON, Oct. IS, 1S9S.-Inquiry made
at the General Post Office here shows the
postal authorities here know nothing
officially Of the fact that the Third As
sistant Postmaster Of the United States,
General Merritt, will. in his annual re-
port this year, recommend the reduction
of ocean postage, between the United
States and Great Britain, to two cents a
half ounce, which would mean a great
saving TO business houses, on both sides
of the Atlantic. having g large CORE
spondence. The only information which
has reached here was contained in cable
dispatches announcing these facts. The
officials of the British Post Office say the
matter tandS as follows
When a reduction of the postage be-
tween Great Britain and her colonies was
decided upon, the idea of a similar ar
rangement with the United States was
mooted and well received by the British
authorities. But, they now add. the only
objection is that the United states may
wish to make il a step for a %silnilar re,
duction with other countries OF the Rostal
Union. for which Great Britain IS not
yet prepared But one Of the British
postal officials remarked. for suen an
arrangement with the United States, as
the great Eng"lish-speaking nation having
the closest commercial and social re-
lations with us, we are quite ready.
