THE END NOT in SIGHT.

The trouble between the street rail
way managers and its operators which
resulted in a strike week ago last
Monday, is apparently no nearer set
tlcmcnt than it was the day the strike
was: inaugnrated. Both sides have
remained firm and the efforts to COM
promise the matter so far has proved
OF no avail. Early last week Mayor
T:uelsen appointed committee 10

a committee from the union in the hope
of bringing about a compromise, but
MendenhaIl refused to abide by the :e-
suit of an arbitration committee, 50
all efforts along that line were aban-
doned. He claimed that the affairs OF
the company were in the hands Of the
court and he had no uthority to take
such a step.
On Monday evening the council took
the matter up in hopes of arriving Iii
some means of bringing about a COM
promise, and appointed a committee
to confer with the interested parties,
and the council adjourned until Tues
day evening, when Il special meeting
was called to hear the report.
\ committee, consisting of Alder
nen Carey, Neff, Barnes, Sang and
Crowley, was appointed to meet com
mittee of the men and the officials Of
the com :3any.
Alderman Carey stated he would ia

for the street car boys. He disliked

the part of the receiver, and thought
it proper that the receiver should sub

ting the trouble in some other way
than by an application to the court,
if possible. He wanted the company
and men to get together without e<-
pcnse to the city save such as neces-
s;.rv to guard the city's interests.
The ground set forth in Alderman
Sang'S resolution for the application

Washington, Nov 1.-THE auditor
for the postofflce department, in his
annual report, shows that during the
last year the number OF postoilices in
the United States increased from H.
W6 to 1884; the number OF domestic
money orders issued increased from
M,708,07S, representing $401, l1S,7l7,
TO 29,0N,S70, representing SAP, 4SS,S54,
= net increase in number OF 1909, 1872,
and In volume of $40, 369,6S6. During
the year the revenues of the postal
service increased from $S9,0l2,6lS to
sos, 021, 1884, and the expenditures from
$97 ,S59,4N to SOL, ,1OO, a net in
crease in the receipts Of $6,20S, 765,
and the expenditures OF $S,77S,752,
Upon this showing, the auditor asks
for an increase OF thirty clerks as q
minimum requirement for the year
1900.
Considerable space is devoted TO the
sui ;ect of money orders and a state.
ment is given which shows that dur
ing the last year the system was con.
ducted at an actual loss to the gov.
SIHultuI VI approximately SlVOiIuVi
which fact, the auditor says, would
suggest the exercise Of great care in
leglslating for the employment Of
new financial features in the postal
service.
The postal revenues for the year
are shown to have been $95,021, 1884
and the expenditures SOL, 495, 1858.
leaving a deficit of $6,413,SS5. or this
amount, the treasury has advanced
$6,000,000, the balance unpaid being
$413,S85. The amount OF second class
postage collected from publishers and
news agents was $S,527O32, and the
amount of stamps, stamped envelopes,
newspaper wrappers and postal cards
sold was $872S0,654. The cost of mail
transportation is given as $54,253, 05S,
Of which amount $1,629,749 was paid
for the transportation Of foreign
mail. The auditor renews his recon-
mendation of last year to the effect
that the life Of money orders be lin.
tied to three months, instead of
twelve months, as now provided bJ
