If all the wheat, corn, oats, barley,
rye, potatoes and hay raised in the
United States in the year 1898 were
loaded in carload lots of ten tons to
the car, they would make a railroad
train 1o6, 100 miles long, being over
thirty and third times the distance
from Boston to San Francisco or a band
of cars reaching four and one-fourth
times around the world. The hay alone
would fill a continuous train of cars
reaching about fourteen times the dis
lance from Boston to San Francisco.

summer my little daughtes had the dysentery in its
worst form. We thought she would die. I tried
everything could think of, but nothing seemed to
do her any good. saw by an advertisement in our
aper that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and
ent and got bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had in the
house. 1t saved my little daughters life, 1 am
anxious for every mother to know what excel
lent medicine it Is. Had known it at first it would
have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my
little daughter much suffering. Yours truly, Mrs.

Another discharge of 100 iron AND
wood workers was made by the Cramr
shipbuilding firms recently. This,
with the laying off of 500 on Tuesday
and 800 on Monday, swells the list OF
unfortunates to 900. There will be
more dcapitations at the big plant
next week unless conditions warran
otherwise. These conditions, as stated
by Edwin S. Cramp, are the present
tardy deliveries of steel materials for
ship construction by the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies. "There are
carloads of material being shipped
every day." Mr.. Cramp said, "but
the structural shapes do not arrive in
proper sequence for immediate use.
eff l had my way I would employ
every idle man along the river front.
The scarcity of material and, as I just
said, tardy deliveries would not per-
NIT me to pursue such course. 1t is
my unreserved opinion that the ques-
ton of getting steel will not be the
bugbear after the first of the year
that it is atpresent."
Mr.. Cramp said when asked what he
thought of the many current rumors
of great strike at the shipyard:
s'Naturally the workmen who we
have discharged during the week feel
quite keenly the situation from their
own standpoint. Any man cut off
from his income first looks to the well
fare of his loved ones at home. IF,
however, we are halted in the build
ing of ships by no fault of our own,
we, as business firm, have no other
recourse left US than to maintain a
balance between the working force of
the plant and the work to be per-
formed. You can state for the infor-
nation of the public that quite recent
ly we refused to bid on four scooter
steamships simply because the string
ency of the steel market did not war
rant their acceptance, in the event of
our price being satisfactory"
Outside of the big shipyard groups
of idle workmen we're seen on the
principal thoroughfare of East Kens-
ington. While rumors of discounts
were plainly manifest in the general
rend of conversation, yet there was
only slight mention or hint of a great
strike. If general strike among iron
shipworkers in contemplated the fact
is deing kept strictly under cover by
the disgruntled workmen.

PREP AYMENT OF POSTAGE,
An Order From the Third Assistant
Postmaster General.

Edwin c. Madden. Third Assistant Post
master General, has issued a notice to all
postmasters concerning the despatch Of
mail matter or the second, third, and fourth
class without full payment of postage.
Mr. Maddens notice to postmasters fol-
lows:
1T appears from numerous reports re-
ceived at the department of the receipt Of
short-paid first-class matter despatched
from mailing offices without due postage
being rated thereon, that while post
masters are exercising a cOmmendable zeal
in detecting and reporting Irregularities in
the treatment of matter addressed to their
offices, there is an evident lack of equal
vigilance in guarding against its improper
despatch from their own offices, in viola
ton of section 479, postal regulations
Packages of first-class matter exceeding
four pounds in weight and all second
third. and fourth-class matter must be
fully prepaid before despatch; but first
class matter not exceeding four pounds in
weight, prepaid one letter rate-two
cents-is entitled TO despatch, provided the
deficient due postage is rated thereon.
I'm determining the weight of mail mat
ter a decided down weight IS necessary
TO subject it to an additional rate.
1T is the duty of postmasters to guard
he revenues of the department and it is
hoped there viii be no further cause to
call attention TO this requirement OF the
regulation. The reports Of unrated short
paid matter received Will be continued"

Upon Is.
Cuban newspapers are just now making
much Of an address recently delivered by
General Brooke, Military Governor Of
Cuba. to q delegation, representing the Gu
ban National party which called upon him
to ask Of him his opinion as to when Cuba
might expect native civil rule to super
seda American military authority 1t is
announced that the delegation was received
with marked cordially. In reply to this
delegation, General Brooke is reported TO
have said
u am very glad of this opportunity to
receive the duly authorized representatives
of the Cuban National party, for which
organization l feel great respect 1t Is true
that the American ensign flies above the
MORO, but it is the flag of Cubas friends
and rot her enemies. There are certain
agitatCTs who question the right of the
American flag to wave in this rich island
and who also question the motives which
America has in maintaining it here; but
I have observed that every country has its
complement of agitatOTs and it is my IN
derstaudng that, as a rule, these persons
are an impeachment TO the progress of a
country
You ask how long the fcrcas of the
United States may be expected to occupy
this island. I cannot answer this ques-
ton with certainty and eXacutude. but
! can assert that the duration of American
authority here rests with the Cubans them
selves. The future Of Cuba is in the hands
of her own sons. The Cubans have much
| to learn. l take the liberty of speaking
| thus because it has been my privilege to
| nave been born and to have lived all my

1T is my opinion that the time is not
| remote when the people Of Cuba will ex
