Opinion Of Regulars Upon the
"Pe1ular Volunteers.

The following letter published by the
Freedom of Manila on August IS of this
wear shows in what esteem the men who
enlisted in the regular organizations, or
regular volunteers as they were called,
are held by their former comrades.
BALINAG. Luzon Aug A 1899.
Editor Freedonl-Dear Sir: I hope you will
make room for the following remarks in your
paper as soon a. convenient:
The volunteer regulars Will be dropped from
the rolls of their different organizations by the
latter part of this week, but viii those men be
forgotten by the comrades they leave behind :?
No; they will never be forgotten by their COM
rades OF the Eighth Army Corps who fought
with them through this campaign.
II there ever was soldier returning to his
native country that is deserving any glory or
that ought to be received with open arms by
the people of the United States that soldier
is the volunteer regular.
| Will say a few words OF the volunteer reg
ulars OF Battery g, Third Artillery. / have
been in the service twenty-three years and
during that time / have seen several batteries
troops and companies in Europe and sn the
United States, but never have l seen such a
battery during this campaign, for their intel
ligence and bravery could not be questioned on
the firing line.
These volunteer regulars came personally un-
der my observation. 1 had the opportunity of
watching them during the different battles and
skirmishes, and / must say that every one OF
them was more than willing to advance to the
front, and on several occasions l had to call
them back on the line.

from Charles Z. Bateman, foreman Of the
letter department at Station y. MI Ford
explained that the postal officials were
compelled TO weigh every letter supposed
to be short of postage. There were sew
eral sets Of scales for this purpose in the
office, and no short weight letter had
much chance TO escape detection as II
passed down the line and was inspected
successfully By several men. Short-paid
matter would not connect as fully paid
matter would for the examination and
rating Of the letters insufficiently STAMPED
took time No fault could be attached to
the pOstOfhce on account of the delay, for
the cause was solely the neglect Of the
people. He had a record kept OF the
amount OF short postage checked up in six
days. and by this means he arrived at the
somewhat sensational fact that an aver
age OF 800 letters are daily held up at Sta
ton d for short postage
You will co the public a favor by call
ing attention to this matter said Mr..
Ford This is the only Office in the
United States where letters mailed only
twelve minutes before the boat starts
connect OF course, short postage letters
deposited at the last minute do not go for
ward without delay. The business men
should see TO it that all letters are fully
stamped
w. a. Cooper at Station D added to the
Information concerning the shortage of
postage. One-lifth of the letter mail for
the Hawaiian Islands was short of post
age, so Mr.. Cooper said. There had been
no change IL the postal rates TO the Ha-
WallaL 1S4andS since annexation, except
to soldiers and sailors of the navy When
letters reached Honolulu short of postage
the addresses were compelled to pay
double the shortage, for a penalty was
attached. Many firms We're sending out
advertising letters short of postage. The
persons who received these advertising
letters would have TO pay the penalty.
Merchants would thereby get the Ill will
instead Of the good viii Of the persons
or firms whom they hoped to reach and do
business with.
A letter has been received by Mr. Coop
er concerning the mail that was lost when
the AIorgan City went down. The steam
er carried out 1913 registered articles, fif-
teen pouches and one sack of letters.
$3.50 pounds, and 176 sacks of
printed matter weighing 977l pounds. All
Of mail and twenty-four sacks The mail
lost included New York, Washington,
Philadelphia and Boston dispatches from

BUSINESS LETTERS
SHORT OF POSTAGE
THREE THOUSAND DETECTED
AT ONE STATION.
An Average Of Five Hundred per
Week, All of Which Were De-
layed for Rating.

Three thousand letters, a great majority
OF which were business communications
sent by San Francisco merchants and
manufacturers, have been checked up at
postOfice station D within the past six
days for short postage. The matter is Of
great importance TO the mercantile com
munlty, for the reason that short postage
letters are all delayed. On all short post
age letters to points east of Chicago there
IS delay Of twenty-four hours at Sta
ton D. There is also a delay in the offices
in the East to which the delayed letters
find their way. A delay often means a
serious disappointment to business man.
For this reason IL becomes necessary for
the business men TO see that they have
the proper stamps attached to secure
prompt service

Twelve Vessels Arrive Within Two
Days Chartered to Garry Grain
From California

A large fleet of ships, most of which
will be available fcN grain charters, ar
rived in This harbor between Saturday
morning ond Sunday night. There were
twenty .-essels in all, of which number
eighteen were foreigners.
Twelve have been chartered to take
cargoes of wheat from California. These

of grain, and at the average rate of IS

900 freight money.
A few were French ships, subsidized by
their Government at the rate of "a cents
per ton for each 1000 miles travelled in
direct course. These subsidies are paid
on the basis of the gross tonnage. so
crews are unusually large, there being in
one case q deduction of about 900 tons
from the gross.

TRIED TO HANG
HERSELF FROM
A WINDOW SILL
Used a Clothesline
for a Moose.

Mrs. A. Ferroggiaro, residing at COZ
Greenwich street, is supposed to have at
tempted suicide in a tragic manner yes
terday morning. Her life was only saved
by the prompt action of neighbors and a
police officer, and also by the frail quality
of a rope which was used in the surmsed
attempt. After the lady had been re-
moved from her perilous position she de-
MED the alleged attempt a suicide but
the statement of officers and witnesses
will not bear out her assertions. The only
cause for the act which can be given by
the family is that the woman has been
III for a short period Of time. and this,
with other family troubles, rendered her
mentally unbalanced.
Shortly after II o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mrs l. Wegel who resides at 600
CreenUich street heard a c0mmotion in
the ward which separates her home from
that of the Ferroggiaros. She rushed TO
the window and was startled to behold
the body Of a woman dangling in the air
a considerable distance above the ground.
She cried for help, and her daughter, Mrs.
Chris thinner, came to her assistance. Be
fore Mrs. Zimmer could reach the spot the
series of ropes which suspended the
woman had become partially unfastened,
and the body fell till it nearly reached
the ground. Mrs. thinner then grasped
the dangling form and loosened the rope.
Police officer Alvares. who happened to
be passing the house and who heard the
womans cries for help, rushed into the
yard and cut the rope.
The woman seemed bent on seIf-de-
struction. She had tied clothesline
around her neck and placed three knots
under her chin. The line was stretched
across the ward and when the woman
iumped from the second-story window sill
her body swung out far from the build
ing. For moment or two the form hung
in space, but the pulleys over which the
lines passed finally gave away and the
body fell close to the ground. Mrs Zim-
rner says that when she loosened the rope
on the neck that Mrs. Ferroggiaro tried
to strangle herself by tightening the
moose on her throat. It was the opinion
of witnesses that had the woman known
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-04

how to adjust the moose in the first place
the MoTgue.
The patrol wagon was called and the
woman taken to the California street sta
that she did not suffer much from the
shock. and shortly afterward was re-
turned TO her home. She protested that
she was hanging clothes on the lines and
accidentally became tangled up in them
but no one saw any clothes in the vicln-
ity The woman had been i'll and had
summoned physician about one hour be-
fore the unfortunate event happened.
Mrs. Ferroggiaro is about 90 years Of age
and has a husband who has been sick
for some time; she has also two daugh-
ters and one son.

of the corpse told the story of suicide.

Secretary Hitchcock has cut the tangled
thread Of pine lands, dead and down tim
Der, Indian rights and white mems
wrongs, by suspending all sales of pine
and by discharging the crew Of estimators
who have been sponging on the Indians
timber fund for years. If one would sense
the injustice of this, he need but put him
self in the place Of the Chippewas and
see himself and his people made to pay
$6 day to each of thirty or
forty men who were Understanding the
quantity of pine on their land in order
that a lot of lumber makers could get the
pine at half or less what it was worth.
Now If the secretary will wipe away ths
whole squad of political derelicts who
have been quartered in various capacities
upon these unfortunates, and give over
the management of the whole business on
all the reservations to Capt Mercer, with
carte blanche to manage the business as
he may deem for the best interest of
the Indians. he will make the only settle

scandals and fraud and dissatisfaction
