POSTAL AGREEMENT WITH CANADA.
RATES ON INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS TO
BE LARGELY REDUCED.

Washington. Jan. THE postal departments OF
this country and Canada to-day reached agree
ment providing for considerable reduction Of the
rates on international money orders. This action
is the result OF plans formulated by the First As
sistant Posmas,er-Ge General to changa the fee sys-
TEN in the drawing and payment OF international
money orders between the United States and Can
ada so as TO reduce the price of such orders 10
the same rate obtains domestic money
orders In each country. The money order bust
ness with foreign countries is not transacted d.
rectly by postmasters. but through Intermediary
offices acting for their respective countries.
The object in effecting a change IL TO reduce
the exorbitant charges for money orders which
under the present system are necessary. 1t costs
81 TO send money order Of 800 in amount from
New-York to Montreal from Montreal to New
York The price is the same between any other
towns In the two countries II they
within few miles Of each other An instance is
cited by the Postoffice Department officials here
Of a man in st. Adams. VT. who sent order
for $500 to place in Canada. only seventeen miles
from St Adams. The order cost him s.. The
same order made payable I'm Sitka. Alaska. United
have cost only 81 80 the rate for Internal money
orders in both the United States and Canada being
20 cents per 800
II has been the desire OF the Postofice Depart
authorities by which the charges on International
money orders between the two countries may be
made the for local money orders
greater number of money orders is sent from this
country to Canada than from Canada the
United States but the Canadian orders to this
country are OF larger amount on the average. This
nearly even that the Canadian postal officials have
no doubt agreed TO the rates.

CERRUTI CASE Adjusted.
A COMMISSION SETTLING THE DISPUTE BE-
TWEEN COLOMBIA AND ITALY.

Washington Ian. 7.-General Julio Rengfo.
Charge d'Affaires OF the Republic OF Colombia
has received an official dispatch from Bogota
announcing that a satisfactory adjustment has
been reached on the Cerruti case. which has re-
Gently caused such serious trouble between Italy
and Colombia that an italian squadron made
menacing visit to Colombian waters. The dis
patch to General Rengifo SAYS that an agree
ment has been made by the Government or
Colombia with the Governments Of France. Ger
many and England, through their representa-
tives in Bogota, this agreement being also APP
proved by the Government of Italy. This pro-
vides for Commission, which has been organ
lied and already begun work at Bogota.
composed OF a delegate appointed by the Coom-
ban Government, another appointed by the Min
listers OF France. Germany and England-this
last in his own right and as representative OF
the italian interests-and third delegate or
arbitrator appointed in common accord by the
two delegates before mentioned. Eefore tnis
Commission the creditors OF the commercial
house OF f. Cerruti e. Co. will present their
claims. and the Commission after considering
the defence of the Colombian Government. Will.
without appeal. decide on the merits OF the
claims. and. II allowed. will fix the amount the
Colombian Government must pay each claimant
The Commission Is also authorized to receive any
proposition of compromise made by the Cerruti
creditors and to subject the same to the con-
sideraton of the Colombian Government.
The dispatch says that In this manner the
Republic Of Colombia has begun to complete the
fulfilment Of the award made by Grover Ceve-
land President of the United States. on March
2, 1897, as arbitrator In the controversy be-
tween the Governments OF Colombia and Italy
on account of the claims o. the italian subject
Cerruti. It also says that as the Government OF
Colombia has at hand 4 large amount destined
to pay the legal claims OF the Cerruti creditors.
II can be assured that the award Of Mr. Ceve-
land will be effectively fulfilled In all its parts
In a short time. and surely before the expiration
Colombia accepted as the tin for its fulflment.
Commenting on the foregoing dispatch. Gen
era Rengfo said 1t definitely closed the inter-
national aspect Of the Cerruti case. leaving only
the detailed computation Of claims. AS to the
recent cable report that another Italian fleet
would sail for Colombia, this time to secure re-
dress for criticisms of Italy in the Colombian
Congress- General Rengfo said he did rot credit
the rumor as It was a recognized principle that
Congressional debates had immunity and
privilege In order that liberty OF debate might
be observed.
General Rengifo says that the Colombian Gov
eminent has always maintained the most cor
rect diplomatic formality toward Italy

PAYMENT FOR TIE PHILIPPINES.
THE s2oOWooo LIKELY TO BE CARRIED IN
THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.

THE s2o0OOooo LIKELY TO BE CARRIED IN
THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Washington. JAN THE payment Of s2o,0OO,-
600 under the terms of the Peace Treaty is be-
ginning to receive attention from members Of
the House Committee on Appropriations, and 1t
Is likely that the amount will be carried In
Of the regular appropriation bills. probably the
Sundry Civil. Chairman Cannon says however.
that the question has not been formally con-
sidered yet, there has been no estimate sub
mitted and no official inform alton on the re-
quirements of the case Moreover. there Is
desire to anticipate action the treaty, and
until II Is ratified the House is hardly in posi-
ton to carry out this provision to payment.
In the event Of rattle alton. however. speedy
action will be necessary. TIE treaty provides
that the payment shall be made within three
months after the exchange of ratifcatons." and
another provision requires the exchange of rati-
fcations within six months from December TO-
the date the treaty was signed. This would
bring the payment before the next session Of
Congress. so that the appropriation must be
made at the present session. Owing to the short
time elapsng after the Senate acts on the treaty
before the close Of the present session, II Is felt
that little time will remain to deal with mat
ter of this magnitude. There has been some
talk of dealing with the payment In a special
appropriation bill, but this is not feasible. a
special bill has no privilege under the rules and
is easily open to distraction whereas the gen.
eral appropriation bills carry unusual privileges
and are almost certain to pass before the session
ends For this reason 1t is probable that the
payment will be placed In the Sundry Civil or
some other general appropriation bill If the pro-
vision is retained in the treaty as ratified
The Appropriations Committee has not deter
mined what bill to take up next. II will be
either the Sundry Civil or the Fortifcations.
But in any event action on the Spanish item Is
likely to be deferred until the treaty Is ratified.
