kill it by placing it last on the calendar.
This effort was defeated and the bill was
laid over until Monday.
There was also row over the pro-

New York Democrat That Doesn't Favor
Going 1t Alone.
In an interview in the Washington
Post, Hon. Elliott Danforth, late Demo
cratic candidate for lieutenant governor
of New York, said:
mo one can tell what will be the lead.
ing issue or issues in the next national
campaign, but am one of those who be.
lieve in standing by the platform of my
political party. and SO in 1900 l shall
cheerfully support the candidate and the
policy put forth by the Democracy in
national convention assembled. My be.
lief IS that the obstacles that have pre-
vented harmony among Democrats will
disappear before 1900. and that united
again as of yore we shall conduct sue
cessful campaign. New York state elect
ed Republican governor last year by
the merest chance, but the vote in the
congressional districts showed the trend
of popular sentiment, and demonstrated
what every we'll informed student of pol
ltics knows to be true-that when our
people are united New York can be
counted on by the Democracy.
II have no gloomy forebodings as to
the future Of my party. 1t has survived
too many storms to cause any doubt as

SKATERS ANNUAL REPORT
He Recommends the Continuance OF
the Presidio CamD


the Presidio Camp.
The War Department yesterday received
the annual report of Major General Shat
ter, commanding the Departments of Cali
fornia and Columbia. He says that the
principal work of the Department of Cali
fornia has been the shipping Of supplies
and troops to the Philippines, and that the
discipline among the officers and men has
been excellent. He recommends that as
long as operations requiring large bodies
of troops continue in the Philippines the
recruiting camp at the Preside be main
tained as it has every facility for caring
for the recruits. The report of Capt.
Robert H. Noble, inspector of small arms
practice, is included in General Skaters
report, and he says that while the rifle
range at the Preside is not adopted for
skirmish practice, the men have made
excellent records at fixed targets, some
of them scoring twenty-five in twenty five
shots, and that 1860 rounds of ammuni
ton have been fired since May II.
General Shafter says the recruiting
camp has been of great service in wedding
out men unfit for military duty and that
the Government has been saved a heavy
expense as many of the recruits might
have been sent TO the Philippines only to
have been returned as unfit for service.
For the Department of the Columbia
General Shafter recommends that a bat
terry of the Third Artillery be sent to care
for the guns at Marrowstone Point, and

PARcELs-Posr EXCHANGES.
The Importance of the Recent Agree

-
ment with Germany.
Consul General Mason. writing to the
State Department from Berlin. on the sub
ject of parceis-post exchanges with Ger
many says.
THE convention recently signed be-
tween the Governments of the United
States and Germany. extending to both
countries reciprocally the advantages of a
PUBIC parcels post service, will be of vast
Importance and benefit to the retail trade
and exchange of mercantile samples be-
tween the two countries, and the facilities
thereby offered should be generally UNDER
stood.
Hitherto. much difficulty and many
complaints have been caused by GER
tain carelessness on the part of many
American exporters in sending packages
OF small value, without any definite idea
OF what the cost Of transmission might be
and consequent neglect to provide for
them. A few practical examples from
recent experience will illustrate this
point:
An importer in Hamburg had occasion
to order from firm in the United States
small package of fine bicycle fittings,
valued at about 81. The express charges
on the package to Hamburg (75 cents had
been prepaid The local agent through
whom the goods were delivered presented
bill for miscellaneous charges amounting
to 7.20 marks t$1.72}. The profit on the
sale OF the fittings by the importer was
only 10 cents, so that the transaction was
spoiled for him by the additional charges
for transmission.
THE same dealer ordered some samples
of other wares from Western firm, who
shipped the goods through an express
company, marked Collect charges on de-
livery. The eighteen articles had been
ordered at an advertised price free on
board at New York, and sold to arrive at
price which would yield small profit,
the main object of the importer being to
introduce the goods by sample to dealers
in Germany They arrived with a freight
bill OF so marks ($14 2S) including the ex-
press charges from factory to port of ship
ment. This was an average of marks,
or " cents, on each article, which entail
ed loss to the importer, so that the
goods were refused for noncompliance
with the advertised or agreed terms of
sale.
"Henceforth, it will be possible for ship
pers in both countries to send, prepaid.
postal packages not exceeding Kilograms
| 10 1-2 pounds) in weight, with absolute
certainty that they will be delivered
without any other charge than import
duty, which can be accurately calculated
all German duties being speeifie-and pro-
| yided for by previous agreement
