RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
Report Of General Superintendent DiscIo-
ses Interesting Facts.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The annual re-
port of the general superintendent Of
the railway mail service shows that
at the close of the year there were 1914
clerks employed and that with the
closed pouch and express pouch service
the grand total of miles trav-
eled in the esrvice was 1885,
565, "a. Matter so illegibly adj
dressed as to require special attention
before delivery could be effected or
which could not be delivered at all,
amounted to 1868, 4S6 pieces for the
year, 1866, 5S5 pieces of which were re-
turned to writer's or corrected and
forwarded to destination, the rest be-
ing turned into the dead letter office
for disposition.
The general superintendent deplores
the fact that the number of casualties
last year exceeded the record of any
previous year, though the number of
fatalities was not so great. There were
527 casualties, in which seven clerks
were killed, "a seriously injured and
146 slightly injured.
1t is urged that some provision be
made by congress for the relief of fam
lilies of clerks killed while on duty, and
for the creation of a railway mail SER

line of duty The wisdom Of appoint
ing a number of assistant superintend-
ents to inspect car, steamboat and mail
messenger routes, and screen wagon
service, supervise the weighing of
mails, etc, has been made evident by
result Of their working during the year.
An innovation is proposed in the way
of establishing postal stations in rail-
road depots, and this and other recon-
mendations have been approved by the
second assistant postmaster general.

United States Consul in Porto Rico Urges
Americans to Keep Away From There.
Washington, Oct. S1.-The following
report from Mr. Hanna, American con-
sui in Porto Rico, has been received
by the assistant secretary of state, and
will be of interest to persons contemp-
lating migration to that island. In his
report, Mr.. Hanna says: Il am con-
WINGED that young men seeking work
or positions Of any kind, should not
come to Porto Rico. Such persons as
clerks, carpenters, mechanics and Ia
borers of all grades, should stay away
from Porto Rico. No American should
come to Porto Rico expecting to strike
1t rich, and no person should come here
without plenty of money to pay board
bills and have enough TO take him back
to his home in the United States. This
is a small island, has a population of
about a million people, and is the most
densely populated country in the
world There are several hundred thou
sand working Porto Ricans ready to fill
vacant jobs and at low price. There
may come a time after the laws of
the United States are applied by con-
gress to this island, that this will be
good place for American capital and
for Americans to do business, but
even then a man should have plenty of
money, who expects to make busl-
ness success in Porto Rico"

Against Federal Officials at Richmond
Washington, Got Silt was definite
ly announced at the civil service COM
mission today that the evidence taken
in the recent investigation Of charges
against the federal officials at Rich
mond, Va, had not been sustained and
no further action is probable The
testimony which was taken by Messrs.
Doyle and Wales has been informally
submitted by them to the commission
as a body, and the full report is in
preparation. 1t will show that while
there was much to be deplored in the
facts brought out, there was no evil
dence Of violation of civil service laws
or rules. The case was taken UP be-
hind closed doors today, and the pre-
liminary report made stated that the
participation of officials in the political
gatherings was a violation of the
Cleveland order regarding spernicious
political activity" but that that mat
ter does not come within the civil SER
vice law.
