RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Congressman Davidson Makes Some Obser
YatiOns About Ii.


Congressman Davidson of the Sixth
district has given to the public, observa-
tions he has made as to the rural mail
delivery. He gives brief history of
the service from its inception to the
present day, and recites the preju-
dices of the postal officials when the
service was first introduced. Mr. David.
son devotes a part of his speech to
the success of rural free delivery in the
Sixth district. In October of last year
there was established at Ripon two
routes, each route covering distance of
about twenty five miles, and supplying
mail daily to about / 900 people. These
routes are known as No. and No. 2
During the first week of the service car
rier No / delivered $40 and collected
AZ pieces of mail. Carrier No 9 deliver
ed 353 and collected 80 pieces, During
the last week in: January Carrier No. 1
delivered $50 and collected 1S0 pieces
of mail This shows an increase in the
number of pieces delivered by these two
carriers from 597 to 1888, and in the
number of pieces collected from 81 to
314, the increase being about 229 per
cent. During the whole month Of Jan
nary Carrier No. delivered 3 904 pieces
and collected 74S Carrier No. 3 deliv-
cred APO and collected 1904 pieces.
Mr.. Davidson also gives figures showing
equally favorable results of rural free
delivery routes inaugurated at other
points in the Oshkosh district. mo
complaints have been made in opposition
to the service in the Sixth district, said
Mr.. Davidson. "On the contrary, many
OF the persons so favored have written

taken and expressing their appreciation
of the service. They realize that it puts
them in closer touch with the outside
world, and brings them the news of the

AS THE COMMITTEE FIXED 1T.
Date of the ManitOwoc Democratic County
Committee June g.

The announcement in The Pilot that
the Democratic County committee would

the call for the Sixth District Democrat
ic Congressional convention had been
called for June ). Chairman Stone of
the Congressional committee has chang
ed the date for holding the congi essional
convention from June.5 until July 10,
so that the date June 8, for the Manito-

AS TO INSURANCE RATES.
No Change to be Made in Rates in 'Mantowoc
at Present

Insurance men say that the published
report that rates are about to be raised
in this city is entirely without founda-
tion and that the report is an injustice
to the insurance agents in that it Injuries
their business to considerable extent
He says that there was no change in the
insurance and that no advance is con
templated here. The raising Of rates
has been effected in Chicago because Of
their lowness there. but this does not
effect Manitowoc in the least as the
rates here are considered sufficiently
high.

PERSONAL.

"A souvenir of Mr.. Gadstone's hobby
as an amateur woodsmau, consisting of
a chip from an elm which he felled at
Hawarden In 1880, was sold for five shil-
lings in a London auction room the other
day.
DIR. James M. Sanford, who has been
professor of geology in Vanderbilt Uni
versity for many years, has just retired
at the age of seventy For half CEN

the government has been asked to have
the name MacKinley given to the bay In
which the fatal accident occurred.
"A correspondent of a London paper
says that there is a particular spot in the
palace al Laeken with a pedestal upon
which are miniature busts of the Prince
and Princess of Wales. 1t was there that
the King of the Belgians introduced these
royal personages TO each other, and his
Majesty considers that incident one of the
pleasantest "reminiscences of his long
reign.

member Maj Waller, commanding the
United States marines in the relief of
Tien Tsln, says the American correspond
ent of the London Standard. Lord Charles
Beresford assigned to Maj. Waller the
duty of clearing two sides of the princi-
pal square. Waller instructed his men
not to shoot without orders, and then to
shoot to kill. He took a place behind
the ranks, saying that he would shoot
the first man firing without orders. His
command did its work bloodlessly, and
at the opposite side of the square met
that OF Lord Charles Beresford, which
had also been successful in the task,
though after firing several volleys.

A Diplomatic Librarian,

When Mr.. Putnam was the head Of the
public library In Boston a ward leader
of that city called on him to recommend
a henchman for place in the library,
says Golfers Weekly
There was no reason why the librarian
should not have refused at once and per-
emptortly to appoint him, but he chose
to follow another course
After few minutes talk with the poll
tican Mr.. Putnam asked him whether he
had ever been through all the departments
Of the institution.
II never have, but I'd like 20 see it,"
replied the politician.
TT will give me much pleasure to 60
with you" said Mr.. Putnam.
Mr.. Putnam took him behind the coun-
tiers and through the building from top
to bottom, explaining the character and
the magnitude Of the work in detail He
further pointed out without seeming to do
So the varied duties OF the employees and
the attachments they must possess to do
the work. When the tour was ended Mr.
Putnam said:
I'm pleased to have had a chance to
show the library to you, and If your
friend will fill out an application blank
and send it, and if he passes the neces-
sary examination, I think there will be
no difficulty in placing his name on the
waiting list"
The politician, however, had seen
enough Of library work to convince him
that his constituent could find no place
on the staff, and the blank vas never
filled out. But to the day he left Bos-
ton Mr.. Putnam had no warmer admirer
in that city that this same ward leader.

THE SITUATION CHINA.

What little reliable news gets out Of
China justifies the opinion that the situa-
ton there is steadily becoming more Sc
rious The story that the Russian minister
was tortured before being killed and that
his wife was subjected TO the
most horrible indigniues may or
may not be true. 1t would not be at all
surprising if it were true. The fact that
communication with Pekin is cut off opens
the door, of course, for all sorts Of ru-
mors, but if it were not true that the min
listers and all Of the other foreigners had
been killed what reason would there be
for not permitting the ministers to com
municate with their respective govern
ments?
The long communication which the Chi
nese minister at Washington received from
the Pekin government last week makes it
clear that the Chinese government is able
to communicate with the outside world.
OF course there is chance that the mes
sage that the Chinese minister received
is not genuine. He believes it Is genu-
inc, however, and it seems that the Pres-
dent and Secretary of State Hay believe
It is. If they had doubts about the matter
Secretary Hay would hardly have sent the
message ne did to Minister Conger through
the Chinese minister If 1t is possible for
the Pekin authorities to send long mes
sage to the government of this country
and to the governments of Europe through
ministers stationed in foreign capitals, II
is possible for them to open communica-
ton between the foreign ministers at Pc
kin and their respective governments.
Affairs in China are rapidly commanding
the attention of the entire Christian world
to the exclusion of nearly all other public
affairs. In this country politics is regarded
of only secondary importance and in
England the Boer war is overshadowed by
the tragedy that is being enacted in
China.
The government at Washington and the
governments of Europe are profoundly dis
turbed by what is taking place in that
ancient empire. They are forwarding
troops with the hope of saving the lives
of their official representatives, II they
are still alive, and of protecting the thous-
ands Of Christians who are scattered
throughout the empire At the same time
they see the possibility of a great war
with China and of complications of the
most serious kind between themselves
These disturbances in China may be the
beginning of the breaking up of that en-
pire, and. at the same time, the efforts
TO suppress them may lead to wars be
tween the Powers that may be extremely
costly and destructive. 1t is limited in the
dispatches from China that the Chinese
hope that the Powers will get TO quarrel
ing among themselves. 1t certainly will
require the exercise of a great deal OF
good judgment and much forbearance on
their part to maintain harmony. In the
meantime the news from Pekin and other
parts of China is awaited with the most
intense interest, because, while the Chi
nese uprising may be suppressed and the
integrity of the Chinese empire maintain
ed, a great world drama may be just be-
ginning

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.

Directly after the Spaniards had been
driven out OF Cuba. 1t was the quite gen.
eral belief in this country that the island
would never become an independent coun-
try, Notwithstanding the declaration OF
| Congress to the contrary. 1t is even
probable that some Cubans had their
doubts about the matter. Now 1t is quite
generally agreed in this country that the
declaration of Congress will be carried
out to the letter, and Cubans have about
got rid of their doubts that this country
| intended to act in good faith towards
them.
The question OF annexation will, of
course, be discussed in the Constitutional
Convention which the Cubans are soon to
jority of the delegates are in favor IF
independence. There is no doubt that
about all of the people, except the prop
erty owners, want an Independent gov
eminent. 1t would be a mistake there
fore to throw anything in the way of their
having 1t.
The chances are that after a few years
of independence there will come a very
strong sentiment in favor of annexation
But this country may not be as fav-
orable to annexation then as it is now
1t Is certain that when the Cubans find
that they do not enjoy as favorable a po-
sition in trading with US as Porto Rico
they will come to the conclusion that in
dependence is not as attractive as it APP
peared to be before they had 1t.
There is no doubt that the Cubans win
be an independent people, and they will
be given control of their affairs sooner
than they ought to have 1t, because there
is ample evidence they are not yet ready
to put their best men at the head of ar
fairs. They will doubtless pay dearly
for experience. Unless all predictions fail
Cuba will have pretty heavy debt very
soon after her own people take charge Of
her government. That is their affair.
however. They will have to bear the
burden.

Mrs. Mcclellan Brown told good
story the other day at a reception on
Price Hill. says the Cincinnati Enquirer
in which Senator Foraker's name figured
as talsmen. The incident occurred dur
ing one of her visits to Europe. Being
weary with much speaking and enter
tanment she broke away from friends
and started from Edinburgh for Birming-
ham, where she might rest with friends
She booked by the Midland Railroad
and, comfortably seated in a flrst-class
coupe, quite alone, she fell into deep
sleep. How much time and distance
elapsed she knew not. The guards
opening the doors at a station called out,
IAN out here for London" Mrs. Brown
remarked: IT am for London by way
of Birmingham on a stop-off."
Get out, then! Get QUIT! he command

gazing at the departing train in a dazed
state OF mind.
We'll. Mr.. Guard, where lis my ticket

shrugged his shoulder and said: "Oh.
that's behind YOU" but when and how
am to get to Birming ham?" she asked
rs there not a manager at this sta
tion?" inquired Mrs. Brown, observing
the many buildings about the place Eyes
over there i'm that office you will find one"
Mrs. Brown found the manager and told
him the situa ton. specifying carefully the
fact that she had booked" first class and
put herself in care OF the company, Civ
ing up her ticket when asked to do so
She had not been told that she SHOULD
change at Carlisle. The manager very
empha IDEALLY shrugged his shoulders and
spread his hands in answer '',There's
nothing to do but walt till next day at
10"
Mrs. Brown remarked. I'm my coun-
try when one puts himself in care Of a
railroad company an officer attends to see
that he Is set down at the destinatio
called for by his ticket" and drawing
from her portmanteau small silk flag
and large letter, she said II am an

the manager the large letter, bearing the
formidable name OF Joseph Benson Fora

seal of the state OF Ohio.
