Points in the Coming Report of the
First Assistant Postmaster General.

The first assistant postmaster general,
Mr.. Perry S. Heath, in his forthcoming an
nua1 report, will include the recommendation
of Chief Beavers Of the salary and allow
ance division that Congress fix the salaries
of assistant postmasters at 30 per centum
of that of postmasters; that post office
clerks shall be classified on the same basis
as letter carriers and railway postal clerks;
that the post office appropriation be made
interchangeable that the unexpended bal
ance of one appropriation may be transfer
red to other appropriations, and that where
consolidation of post offices is deemed ad-
visable and may be effected under existing
law the money saved be made available
for clerk hire and other expenses at the
newly established offices.
Under present regulation an assistant
postmaster may receive 30 per centUm of
the salary of the postmaster, as deter
mined at the last annual reimbursement.
This is, of course discretionary with the
Postmaster General, provided Congress ap-
propriateS thu necessary money. Under the
proposed law, however, Congress Will make
it compulsory, and the department will
recommend that a special appropriation,
regularly fixing the salary of assistant
postmaster at 30 per centum of that of
postmaster, be provided.
Mr.. Heath will direct the special atten-
ton of Congress to the necessity for a re-
classification OF clerks in first and second
class post offices This classification was
strongly recommended by the postmasters
The present bill has many useless and
synonymous designations, and the new bill
will prevent much existing confusion. Post
office clerks are, as rule, paid much lower
average salaries than either letter carriers
or railway postal clerks. The proposed bill
will provide for an annual increase OF sal
airy, with letter carriers, and is a step
In the right direction.
The department has been seriously handi
capped by reason of the fact that appro-
priations are made for specific purposes and
are not Interchangeable. Under the pro-
posed modification of the law, wherever an
appropriation becomes low or exhausted,
the Postmaster General may transfer from
one appropriation to another up to 10 per
centum. This will enable the department
to effect many advantageous consultations.
The proposed amendment will also make
available for the salaries of superinten-
dents, clerks and other expenses the sal
aries Of postmasters saved by consolda-
tons, Improvement which the depart
meEt is now unable to make on account of
the want Of elasticity or strong restric-
tons.
The department will also ask for a sub
stantiaI increase for additional clerks; also
for the payment of substitutes for clerks
on vacation in the smaller Offices, and
material increase in the appropriation for
temporary clerks at summer resorts, cleo
ton and holiday service.

DISTRICT PAYS COSTS.
Decree Affecting Cancellation of
TaNes in Certain Cases.

Justice Hagner today. in the equity case
of John L. Warren and others against the
District OF Columbia, passed a decree can
ceiling certain taxes due prior to the date Of
sale under which the compliments had &C
quired tax deed to six lots in square 1882,
and requiring the District TO pay the costs
of the suit.
This decision Is claimed to be Of consld-
cradle Importance, as heretofore IL has been
the custom in similar cases for the attor-
ney for the District to consent to an I'M
mediate decree, provided the same was
without costs, to which requirement in this
case Mr.. Warren's attorney would not
agree. AS result the matter has been
awaiting a decision since last August. 1t
is believed that this was a test case
hereafter the District will have to pay the
costs of suits cancel taxes in such cases
on request, without the necessity of suit

Mr.. Adams speech.

PHILADELPHIA. October 25.-Todays
session of the international commercial con-
gress at the national export exposition
was officially designated as Expansion
day" and number of speakers addressed
the delegates on that question, as it related
to the development of the commerce of all
the countries of the world. Congressman
Robert Adams, jr., Of this city. former
United States minister to Brazil, presided.
In presenting the scope of the deliberations
Mr.. Adams referred to the weakness Of the
consular service of this country, laying
the blame upon the system itself and not
the administration of it. He said:
THE men in consular service should be
men trained for their work. They should
be highly educated and well informed in
the consular business, and should speak
the language Of the country to which they
are accredited and should be appointed only
after careful examination and their tenure
of office should be for life or good be-
havior."

past two years has sprung from condition
Of apathy and encouragement to one of
Astounding hope and prosperity. He COM
mended the administration of President
Mckinley, and reviewed briefly the acpui-
sitiOn of tertiary by the United States,
from Louisiana to the Hawaiian Islands,
and the conquest of Porto Rico.
Referring to the Philippine acquisition,
he declared it promised greater immediate
advantage than any other.
Continuing, he said: I'VE already know
something of the enormous capacity of the
Philippines for agricultural production of
tropical wealth. OF its mineral wealth we
know less; but the indications are of the
highest significance, not only of the baser
metals, but also Of the most valuable"
Mr.. Kasson concluded with q defense of
the right of this country in maintaining
control of the PHILIPPINES.

THE FUTURE OF SAMOA
Important Changes Likely, Though Perhaps
Not Very Soon.
Inability of the Three Powers to
Agree on n satisfactory Substitute
for the Present State of Affairs.

The State Department is without late Of
fetal advices from Samoa respecting the
existence of fresh troubles among the ma
tives on the islands. 1t has been noted that
in few instances have the forecasts of Sc
rious disturbances been well founded, and
+ is beieTed that these latest reported
events are not really threatening in char
acter. However. it is realized that in the
present conditions of the United States and
Great Britain the time might seem TO be
oppOrtune to the elements on the islands
inclined TO dissatisfaction with the exist
ing state of government to try to force
radical change by series of small but an
noying emcutes in the hope of firing out
the patience of some of the treaty powers
and inducing them to fOrego their claims
to a share of control in Samoa.
1t IS probable that some important change
will he brought about, for there is no longer
any disguise of the fact that the three
treaty powers are each and all now about
convinced that the condominium is incapa-
BILE of afOrding a safe basis for the gov
eminent of these Islands. The difficulty is
that up to this moment no satisfactory
plan has been found to replace that ar
rangement. Notwithstanding the fact that
negotiation have been in progress to that
end. As far as the United States is con-
cernCd the government has an accurate
idea of what it wants, and 1t is believed
that these wants are not obnoxious to
either Germany or Great Britain. So the
main difficulty in effecting generally sat
istactory arrangement is now experienced
in getting Great Britain and Germany to
agree between themselves. The indica-
lions that such an agreement is not
within sight in the immediate future, and
that the three governments must content
themselves for some time to come with an
administration of affairs in Samoa under
the terms of the Berlin treaty. with some
slight notifications in the direction sug
gested in the report of the Samoan COM
mission, such as the abolition of the king
ship. which has caused so much trouble,
and some changes in the functions of the
officials. including the chief justice.
1t is now settled that Chief Justice Cham
beers will not return to Apia, so that one
cause of friction will disappear. But recog-
nizing the fact that Mr.. Chambers deci-
sions have been fully upheld by the Sa-
moan commission. it is the intention of the
administration not to sacrifice him to the
eXigency which exists as to Samoa. and he

DOANE SUPPORTS MCKINLEY.
Bishop of Albany Reviews Presidents
Policy in Philippines.

ST. LOUIS, No, October 25.-Bishop
Doane of Albany, n Y. in his address be
fore the Protestant Episcopal missionary
council, now in session here, supported the
policy Of the administration in taking the
Philippine Islands under national protec-
ton. He said:
To my mind there were but four unal-
terabIe alternatives. We were obliged
either to leave the islands under Spanish
control for a renewal Of hOStiuties; We
We're obliged to leave them to destroy them
selves in inleraecine strife; We could have
left them to be fought over by European
nations; or We could have assumed the
position of protectors of the islands. l see
no other conclusion, and the fourth alter
native war the only which ought to
have been taken. We did take IL and this
great trust must be administered"
Missionaries from Cuba and Porto Rico
presented the needs Of the people of those
islands and after some discussion il was
decided 10 send bishop to the latter
island
