TEN OF LETTER BONES IN THE WORLD.
Washington. Aug. (SpeciaD.-Assistant Post
master General Heath has adopted new plan for
overcoming the congescd condition Of the collection

place another box each of the posts requiring
additional letter box deposit capacity, but informa
ton which he has Just received from Postmaster
Van Colt has led him decide substitute i'm
mediately of the large newspaper collection
boxes holding four or five bushels. for each Of the
small regular letter boxes in congested districts
This be done within few days. and relief will
be almost immediate II is then his purpose 10
secure estimates for the cost OF planting posts for
mail boxes throughout the city of New-York AMI
placing them new pattern Of letter box which
will be capacious and safe enough for all purposes
II Is estimated that 100 letter box posts will be re-
quired for the purposes that they will cost alto
gether about $4,000 SO 0oD and that the large pat
tern Of specially built letter boxes to be placed on
the posts will bring the cost 10 somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 This will give New-fork
City the finest system of letter boxes in the world
The cost is said be great, however, that It
will be necessary 10 go 70 Congress for a special
appropriation 10 meet the extraordinary expendi-
ture for letter box posts and the new pattern or
specially made letter boxes.
The Assistant Postmaster General has written 10
Postmaster Van Colt. authorizing him 10 install

sary letter box posts throughout the city to take
the place of all the lampposts now used for letter
boxes.
Postmaster Van Colt has been requested TO fuE-
nish TO bidders In his specifications the location OF
every post 10 be planted. so that bidders may
have an accurate idea OF the obstacles 10 be over
come In planting each OF the posts. When these
bids are received special request will be made at
the converting Of Congress for the appropriation
and also an amount sufficient for the construction
and installation Of large. specially made letter
boxes.
1t is the purpose also to place around the city

package mall receptacles, for the receipt OF all
classes OF mail, that those VINO post srhd"

PAPER s GIVE OPINIONS.

+ LONDON, Nov. LIN the absence of
fresh news the morning papers are re-
duced to speculation as to how General
Whites late disaster occurred. The
general opinion Is that a misuse Of the
cavalry was the real reason for the
falling into the Boer trap. Apparently
there was no cavalry to watch over
the safety Of the last column.
The Morning Post, pointing out how
near the British were to "a still greater
disaster" says:
I'm capturing the column the Beers
also had the Devonshire Regiment
practically at their mercy, and little
more daring would have made bad
business much worse. 1t is humiliat-
ing to find a nation OF farmers beating
soldiers at their own game. but the
sooner a proper respect Is had for Boer
strategy and Tactics, the better for our
fortunes In Natal"
This SOLDERING note Is struck by all
the morning papers today, together
with the expressions of determine
ton to carry the matter through at
whatever cost.
The Daily Chronicle, referring edit
orally to the situation, says:
After the patent failure Of the cam
paign and the terrible humiliation OF
the British army, we can only vaguely
hope that Sir George White, in the
hard days that lie before him. may be
able to hold Ladysmith. Retrea,

Imagination fails to grasp. II this wal

farmers Of our American colonies. II
the catastrophe calls forth something
better than music-hall patriotism we
may come to reckon 1t as a timely les
son we'll earned for the good of oui

The Daily News says: III 1t Is found
possible to move the stores. Sir George
White will probably be ordered to with
draw upon Colenso. II the order is not
given 1t will be because a removal o.
the stores would be too risky"

BR!DE OF A AERo
Politicians Interested in
Announcements.
Mrs.. Hszes b Aabltlous-Studied Method
Of Mskisg Betrothsi Pubiie-coasee.
tios with JShs 4. MeL.aa.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The en-
gagement Of Admiral Dewey to Mrs.
Hazen came as a surprise to Washing
ton. 1t has long ECen known that he
was on the most friendly terms with
the lady who Is to become his wife.
Politicians Of both parties are interest
ed in the engagement. 1t may mean
much for them. it is well known that
Mrs. Hazen Is ambitious, and Justly so.
Through her influence the prediction Is
made that Admiral Dewey will enter
politics. II he does. he may overturn
all the plans of the politicians and
made.
The dramatic method of announcing
the prospective social event and the
news itself are complete explanation
Of why Admiral Dewey declined to ac-
company the President on his recent
stumping tour through the West, and
the main purpose Of which was to de-
feat John r. Mclean, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio. 1t ia
even whispered low that the Admiral
announced his engagement at this time
and In the unique way he selected, In
the hope that mis- future relationship
with Mr.. Mclean might prove benefi-
cial politically to the latter. And the
gossips have 1t, further, that when Mr..
Mclean was here recently he confiden-
TALLY predicted he announcement to
some business associates.
When the marriage will take place
has not yet been determined, but it is
believed that 1t will be In the near fu-
ture, and that the Admiral will not
long occupy his new house, presented
by his admirers throughout the United
States, as a bachelor.
Mrs. Hazen's chief charm, aside from
her sparkling eyes and smile, Is a pro-
fusion OF auburn brown hair, family
tinged with gray and rolled high from
her forehead, with suggestion Of q
bang. An Episcopalian originally, Mrs
Hazen became convert to Catholicism
several years ago. and, while not q
zealot, processes the religion. The Ad.
miral is an Episcopaiian. 1t Is the i'm.
preston that the marriage will take
place in st. Matthew's Church.
II Dewey marries into the Mclean
family he will undoubtedly become 9
more serious Presidential probability
than he has been heretofore.
