street railway Postal Car.

Denver. Colo, Dec. ia street rail-
way postal car In Denver is one of the
robabilities of the future. Postmaster
Twombly has given the question some
consideration and has written the gen.
eral postoilice. placing before it recon-
mendations, which. he believes, will
have weight in determining whether or
not the scheme will be adopted.
Under the existing system of mail
collection 1t has been found delay Is un-
avoidably caused. The system was all
right years ago when Denver had not
assumed its present proportions, but
with increased business and population
it has been decided something else
must be done.
In several eastern cities electric
street cars are used in the collection Of
mails. The idea is the same as that
used in the usual railway postal cars,
and II is believed that its introduction
into Denver will not only facilitate the
postal business proper. but will aid in
quicker and more frequent deliveries
in the city.
With the adoption of the street postal
car will also come the establishment of
mail depots from which the car will
collect the mails and stamp them as
the ear speeds through the street.
Postmaster Twombly says he ex-
poets n fayorably reply to his recon-
mendation from the postmaster gen.
eral AS soon as this is received the

supplementing yesterdays comInunica-

by Sir Ernest Mason Sntow, the Brit
ish minister, and he now demands n
modification of point In the Joint note
which the foreign ENJOYS generally re
gard as important. This means fur
tier delay. as all the ministers must
communicate anew with their respect
i've governments.
Just what is the nature of the OBJ
lection raised by Great Britain the
ministers decline to say, but they ad-
nit that the new demand will involve
n great deal more of diplomatic proceed
ure.

are at n loss to understand the reasons
for the important Modification In the

the British minister to Pckin Is to de.
mand before signing that document
preparatory to its presentation to the
Chinese plenipoteniiarics. They have
no information on the subject, ns moth
ing has been heard from Mr.. Conger OH
the matter for some days.
The understanding here has been
that the joint note as agreed upon by
the conveys WIS in the main sItisfac-
tory to the British government. That
government simply desired Il slight
amendment. said to he in the nature of
{: mere change in style of language to
be used. rather than any amendment
to the scope of the agreement. This did
not conflict with any of the principles
held out for by our government, and
such being the case, it was confidently
expected the signature of the British
minister would be affixed to the agree
ment promptly and the note presented
to thL Chinese at an early date.
