SEEKING HIGHER SALARIES.
Letter Carriers Want Legislation at
the Coming Session of Congress-.


the Coming Session of Congress.
Among the first bills of general interest
to be introduced in the House will be one
to increase the pay of letter carriers. This
information was received from Edward ].
Cantwell Secretary of the National Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers.
"A bill for that purpose" said he, was
introduced in the last Congress. but owing
to the rush of business it failed of consid-
eration but this year the association has
assurance that the bill will be considered
early. And furthermore that it will be
favorably reported from the committee.
Tine letter carriers considering the
responsibility OF their work, and the fact
that each and everyone must furnish gilt
edged bond, are poorly paid for their serv-
ices. All they ask is that they be paid
81 200 per annum. And that is really small
compensation. At present they start in at
$500 and in the course of several years, get
s., 900. That is as high as they can go.
THE letter carriers all over the coun-
try are deeply interested in this matter,
but under the rules of the department they
are net allowed to take actiCn or interest
in it, 1t has not been determined yet who
will introduce the bill, for number of
members are more than willing to help
out the men who carry the mails. We will
get legislation on the subject from this
Congress, depend on that"

Attorney General GriGgs Conducts
an Enquiry Into COncessiOns.
The incoming Congress will in all prob
ability learn from Gen. a. S. Hartwell. of
the Hawaiian Islands, who has been ap-
pointed representative here Of the Temporal
~ government, just what the feeling of
the people in regard to permanent form
of government is.
General Hartwell is at the Shoreham, and
says the Hawaiians are eager for the new
regime for many reasons. There is con-
siderable dissatisfaction regarding the sale
of public lands and the granting of fran
chises by the temporary government, but
it is hoped by many that the proclamation
Of the President touching this feature may
be modified. There are, however, antago-
nists to the plan, and the question will
have to be settled as judiciously as possible

Company of Honolulu is represented here.

General has again before him for review

There is some controversy regarding the

KNIGHTS TO ENTER POLITICS.
4 New Prog ramme Adopted by the
General Assembly.

John w Hayes, General Secretary of the
knights Of Labor, has returned to his desk
at the headquarters of the organization, on
Capitol Hill, after an absence of two weeks,
during which time he attended the sessions
of the General Assembly in Boston.
1T has been customary, and the rule of
the order" Mr.. Hayes said today, mot TO
actively take any part in the politics of
the country, but to strictly attend to the
interests of the organization. The order al
ways left it TO individual members TO act
politically as they thought best. The
course of public events. however. have now
forced the order to change its views. and
to abandon their old policy of political
lethargy. .-
1T has been resolved to take an active
part in the politics of the country. and to
formulate a plan whereby political ques-
tions will be discussed. and decided upon.
The discussions will be bipartisan en-
tirely, and the influence and strength of the
order will be given to that party which CO.
incides with and espouses the same view Of
matters as the order.
The organization resolved. Furthermore.
TO establish at the headquarters of the or
der a school of civicS and social and po-
litical science. history. oratory, and com
position. in order that young men may
quality themselves at nominal cost TO in
telligently and ably promulgate and de-
fend Knights of Labor principles. and study
the problems OF the present and the future.
with the aid of all that history and science
can bring TO their assistance.
The school is to be established in Wash
ington, where are concentrated facilities
for its work not paralleled upon the conti-
nent. All the work of the students will be
carried on at home, and will be directed by
correspondence.

Conspicuous Exception to the Mar
Speculation Influenced by the Ap-
proach of the Meeting of Congress.

NEW YORK, Nov 27.-The stock mar
ket opened very strong and active, but
with the bulk of speculative interest cen
tired in comparatively few stocks Note
worthy cases in point were the Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio, New York Cen
tral, and Union Pacific, preferred. All of
these stocks showed noteworthy strength
tendency being partly due to the London
market where all of them were quoted at
sharp advances in comparison with he To-
cal closing prices of Friday. The initial
advance in Pennsylvania extended from
three to five points above Fridays closing
was well sustained in the subsequent deal
ings
The only conspicuous exception to the
markets general tendency was United
States Leather, common, in which instance
a decline of six points was scored in the
opening transactions The granger shares
and all the other standard issues were also
strong, though on smaller dealings. Spec
ulative sentiment in the main was stimu-
lated by the very excellent showing made
by the banks in their statement. and also
by the exceptions that the pronounced
strength in Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio foreshadowed some important de-
velopments in the affairs of these compa-
nies.
The near approach of the meeting of
Congress together with the submission of
the Presidents message, was also account
ed favorable influence in the speculation.

them. and they only to a limited extent.
