Letter Carriers had arrived this evening
TO attend the annual meeting of the as

I45 local branches, and that all the gov

with the exception of about 1000 are in
cluded in its membership As usual in
the annual meetings. the principal sub

islation by congress affecting letter car
riers. Increases of salaries to a uniform
rate for carriers of both the first and sec

offices Of the first class now receive 81, 600
and of the second class SS5] What the
men desire is uniform salary of 81, 200

disabled letter carriers, which has been
discussed for some years, has resulted in

bill provides for administration of the

PECK NOT DIsCoURTEoUs.
Commissioner VaIIeris Stands by His
Colleague.


NEW YORK, Sept. 2-The French line
steamer La Touraine arrived from
Havre today. In the cabin was Arthur
Nalleris, United States commissioner to
the Paris exposition He defended Com
missioner General Peck from the charge
that he has acted discourteously to STATE
representatives at the exposition. In
speaking of the story that Mr. Peck had
secretly endeavored to prevent Mrs. Man
nlng and Mrs. Potter Palmer from be-
Ing decorated by the French government,
he said:
THAT is impossible, for I know how
such things are done. The names for
the Legion of Honor are handed in and
passed on their merits 1 know that
Mr.. Peck presented the names of Mrs.
Manning, Mrs Potter Palmer and Mi
ehael IL. De Young for the order. AS 10
there being criticism over there being
so many representatives from the United
States and the difficulty of supplying all
with invitations to entertainments. all
l can say is that there is always trouble
when big enterprise like the exposition
Is under way. There are certainly MANY
ofheials from this country to the expo
sition.''

STATED BY ROCKHILL.
SHANGHAI, Sept 2-William Wood
VILE Rockhill, special commissioner Of the
United States government to investigate
and report on conditions in China, in an
interview with a representative of the
Associated Press emphasizing the impor-
tance of harmonious action of the pow
.rs as a measure Of self-defense, said:
'.If the Chinese government is able to
break the concert of nations and bring
about a disagreement on the part of any
government in such a way as to secure
any relaxation of the joint demands, all
the foreigners in China may as well pack
up and leave.
This is the very best opportunity to
settle for all time the status of foreign
ers in China If the matter is not settled
now. the Chinese will be encouraged to
persist in their present policy, and the
powers will have the whole trouble to
thresh over again every two or three
wears. | believe that all the governments
are impressed with this truth, and I be-
ueve that most of them realize that
definite and permanent settlement OF the
status of foreigners and the establishment
of freedom of trade are more important
to them now than the acquisition of ter
ritory.
"This has been deliberately planned
movement on the part of the Chinese
government tc expel all foreigners. The
DEGREES printed in the Imperial Gazette
prove this. This movement has been
practically successful, since every for

to seek refuge in the treaty ports. The
