Business of the Lincoln
Postodicc.

LINCOLN, Nov. 19.-(Special.) )--Attention
was called in The Bee several days ago to
the fact that tho popocratic aspirants for
the cflce OF clerk Of the supreme court were
n little premature in their candidacy, as
the term of the present incumbent would not
expire for over eighteen months Those
who understand the situation say that the
present clerk cannot be removed from Office
before the expiration OF his term except
for cause. The constitution Of Nebraska,
which appears plain on this subject, provides
as follows:
"There shall be appointed by the supreme
court a reporter, who shall act as clerk
OF the supreme court and librarian OF the
law and miscellaneous library OF the state
whose term of office shall be for four years
unless sooner removed by the court, whose
salary shall be fixed by law, not to exceed
s1.500 per annum.'
Congressman Burkett will leave for Wash
ington tomorrow. He will be accompanied
by George Tobey OF this city, who will act
as private secretary for Burkett.
PostoHice Statistics.
An idea of the large volume Of business
transacted at the Lincoln pcstoffice may be
obtained from the report of Postmaster
Bushnell for the month ending November 6.
In accordance with an order from the post
master general all mail matter passing
through the Lincoln postoffice during that
period was weighed and comparison with
report for similar period year ago shows
an unusual increase in the amount Of bus-
mess handled.
The mail clasifcations in the weighing
were frst-clase mail, letters and sealed mat
ter paying postage second class matter,
third rlazq m Including
merchandise and equipment consisting OF
pouches, mail sacks and all property be-
longing to the department that was weighed
with the mail. The total in these classes
was as follows for the month:
First-cass matter, 11,457 pounds second
clafs matter, 211 1922 pounds; newspapers free
in county. 1.252 pounds third and fourth
claes matter, 24,460 pounds government free
matter, 6145 pounds; equipment. 41,333
pounds: total, 1864 pounds.
This IN tons is over FIVE tons of letter
mail, LOG tons of newspapers, twelve tons Of
merchandise and package mail, three tons
tons OF equipment.
These figures also give an idea of the
enormous amount of socondclass mail car
ter handled and dispatched from the Lin
coin postoffice.
The largest single days business was on
November / when 1850 first class letters
were dispatched. These figures are for out
going mail only. 1t is difficult to estimate
the number OF letters received and delivered
from points outside of Lincoln. However,
the incoming mail has been increasing in
volume for the last few years.
The figures for the month are slightly
above tho average for the reason that the
two political central committees sent out
considerable mail during the period.

Triumph at Paris-Populace Gives Him
Warm Welcome.
Bloemfontein, Orange Free State,
June 2.-Among the most important
points that President Paul Kruger, of
the Transvaal republic, and Sir Alfred
Miner. governor of Cape Colony and
British high commissioner for South
Africa, will have to discuss at their
conference here in regard to the de-
mands of the outIanders will be the
question of the dynamite monopoly,
under which the outlanders are groan-
ing, and which the British secretary
of state for the colonies, Joseph Cham
berlain. has used his utmost endeavors
to remedy. But blue book on the SUBJ
5ect, issued last night, shows that mat
ters in this connection have practically
reached a deadlock.
Not Significant of Peace.
The blue book opens with a letter
from Chamberlain, dated Jan. 13, re-
viewing the whole question and pro-
testing that the monopoly was incon-
sistent with the London convention. To
this the Transvaal government replied
under date of March 8, controverting
the arguments of Chamberlain and
stating that her majesty's government
was not entitled to a protest. Chamber
lain on April 21, however, renewed the
British protest. adding that her ma
1esty'S government reserves its rights.
In answer to this the Transvaal gov
ernment replied on May %, with two
curt sentences, to the effect that it
abided by the views expressed in its
communication of March 9.
We Go Strong on Mediation.
London, June 2.-The correspondent
of The Daily News at The Hague says:
Mr.. Frederick Hollis, secretary of the
American delegation. is the author of
the American mediation proposals. In
one of the most forcible and lucid
speeches the conference has yet heard
he argued the utility of special media
tion as illustrated by the lessons of the
Hispano-American war. He said that
had Spain and America been each as
sisted by mediator peace would prob
ably have been arranged after the bat
tie of Manila"
