STREET CAR MAIL BOXES.
Plan Tried as an Experiment In Des
Moines May Be Adopted
Permanently.

Chicago, May 2.-WiIliam G. Edens,
superintendent of the western branch
of the free delivery system, has for
warded recommendations to the post
office department at Washington to
place letter boxes in the street cars at
DeS MoineS, Ia.
The service established there on the
trolley cars a year ago was an expert
ment and it has proved such a success
that Mr.. Edens has recommended its
permanent adoption there and in other
cities of the same size. Under the rules
of the railway company a car is stopped
at any point along the line to allow
the mailing of matter. In fact, a piece
of mail is regarded as a. passenger. The
chief advantage in the new system is
found in the quickness with which mail
matter is collected and forwarded. 1t
also reduces the number of collectors
and boxes in the outlying districts.

Is Sought by Germany With the
United States.

Washington, May 2.-The royal COM
mission of insurance, appointed by the
Prussian minister of the interior to
visit the United States and settle the
long pending and vexatiouS controversy
over admitting life insurance companies

has arrived here.
The members of the commission
Herr Knebel-Doeberitz and Marschal
Won Bierberstein, paid their respects to
the German ambassador today, and, ac-
cOmpanied by him, were presented to
Secretary Hay. The officials. diplomat
&c and government, are giving the COM
mission every assistance and encour-
agement, although the work will be
largely of a private nature, consisting
of negotiations with the large institu-
lions in this country. After making
their official calls today, the commission
will go to New York and there begin
their conference, which it is expected
will bring about some form OF recipro-
city in admitting insurance companies
to foreign business.

ALGER FOR THE SENATE.
Secretary Says He Would Accept an
Election, But Will Not Enter
Into q Scramble.

Detroit. May 2.-Secretary AIger. be-
ing asked whether he will be a candi-
date before the next Michigan IegisIa-
ture for United States senator to sue
coed Senator Mcmillan, replied:
Il will say frankly that I did think
if the state should see fit to send me to
the senate would appreciate the honor.
but after all my state has done for me
1 shall not enter into any scramble for
it,
Being informed that it had been re-
ported Senator Mcmillan would seek a
third term, the secretary of war replied ::
Ian assured me himself a long time ago
that he probably should not be a can
didate again, and that if he was not
he would do all he could for me- I
think if he had changed his mind and
intended to be a candidate 1 would have
heard something about it. Indeed [
think 1 would be one of the first persons
that he would have spoken to about it."

CHEAPER MATCHES.
Company Chartered In New Jersey Is
a Competing Concern.

New York, May 2.-Explanation was
made today regarding the incorporation
at Trenton, N. J., on Saturday last of
the Union Match company, with a cap
itaI of $40, 1000 900. 1t had been stated
that this new company was the nucleus
of the consolidation Of the Diamond
company of Chicago and Edwin Gould's
Continental company. William NJ WINS,
one of the incorporators of the Union
company, set at rest these rumors. He
said:
This is not a consolidation. Tt is an
ordinary corporation, organized to man
ufacture and sell matches in the United
States and Canada, in competition with
the Diamond company, the Continental
company and other concerns. The stock
is not offered for sale and will not be
listed.
1.-The Union Match company has
bought the plant of the Adirondack
Match company, well known concern,
which will be enlarged and equipped
with the newest machinery, and the
Union company will enter the field of
competitive manufacture and sale at
once"
Mr.. WINS added that the Union COM
pany will sell matches at a lower price
than the other companies.

LYNCHING IN MEXICO.
Governor of Sinaloa Suspends Right
of Trial In Certain Cases

City of Mexico, May 2.-The governor
of Sinaloa, in order to give greater Sc
curity to life and property, has sus-
pended the constitutional guarantees in
cases of kidnapping, patricide, premed-
itated murder and highway robbery.
Sinaloa is on the Pacific coast and iso-
lated from the railway system of the
country This measure means that
offenders of these classes will be subject
to capital punishment by the consti-
tuted authorities without the formalfty
of trial when their guilt shall be clearly
evident.
A similar measure regarding persons
guilty of putting distractions on rail-
way tracks was taken a few years ago
with eminently satisfactory results
That class of offenses died out 1t is
the Mexican substitute for mob law and
lynching, and works well in practice
