FOREIGN POSTAL CARDS.

cards and view cards require the sane

age is double the amount lacking.
In my inspection OF the United states

that about 10 per cent Of the entire postage
account for the six COnsulates and agan-
Cies is caused by the cCusuls being c0mpelI-
ed TO pay postage penalties on letters mall
ed 10 their Offices. The carelessness Of
persons addressing the American consuls
in not putting the proper postage on their
letters is costing the United States Gov
eminent quite a sum each year. On the
other hand. some persons put on too much
postage. This Office has received printed
documents from public sources and private
persons carrying twice, and in some in
stances ten times, the necessary postage"

When the Charcoal and Architects Clubs
agreed upon consolidation an appeal was
made TO the Municipal Art Society TO join
in the establishment of permanent home
fer the various art clubs For this purpose
q committee was appointed by the society
to look for a suitable property and to esti-
mate the cost OF such a structure as would
be required for the purposes Of the clubs
Thus far the committee has done nothing
more definite than o-look at some proper
ties which have been offered as probably
suitable for the purposes
The plans. if carried out would be con-
summated largely by individual subscrlp-
lions OF art lovers. who wOuld not expect

many artists and owners are averse 10
sending their pictures to Baltimore because
OF the lack Of irepTcof accommodations for

IL is expected that many profitable and in

collections would be asked 10 loan their
pictures for exhibition. and in this way
give opportunity for a cultivation Of artis-

be expected to prove Of value from It's ad-

KILLED BY A TROLLEY CAR.

4 Boy Fatally Crushed While Play
ing in the Street.
CAMDEN. n. J., March 26.-Joseph P
Hart. the elght-year-oid son Of John D.
Hart, jr, OF SIS Ferry Avenue. WAS ground
to death under the wheels of a trolley car
yesterday afternoon. He was at play on
Ferry Avenue near Master Street with a
number OF other boys around a coal box.
when trolley car no. IS. Ct the Camden
and Suburban Railway Company, in charge
Of Motormsn Isaac Crisprin. came along.
The car had just crossed the tracks Of the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad. when
the boy ran from behind the coal box on
the car tracks.
Before the mOtOrman could stop the car
the boy was Knocked down and the wheels
passed over his body. He was carried to
the sidewalk and the city ambulance was
sent for. but he died before it arrived. The
police arrested the motorman and locked
him up at the City Hall.
Coroner Bushey viewed young Harris
body and permitted the remains to be tax
en- to his parents home. After an inyes-
tigation the coroner decided that Motor
man Crisprin was not to blame for the
accident and ordered him discharged from
custody.

The Kentucky Reign of Terror.

That the startling exposure OF the Tay-
lorite wholesale assassination conspiracy i'm
Kentucky has killed the Republican party
in that State for good and all goes with
out saying. II this we're the only conse-
quence the country might regard the Sit
UatiOn with eQuanimity; but it is not
There is every reason TO fear that a car
nival Of murder by the Republican noun
tain bandits is about to be inaugurated.
The news Of the morning from Frankfort
is the reverse OF reassuring Il is reported
that a large body OF Taylor banditti has
assembled at High Bridge. on the Ken
lucky River twenty-five miles above the
State Capital, the object being to avoid
travel by the railways which are being
closely watched. and TO make descent
upon the city by water. This movement,
it is believed. was planned for the pur-
pose Of rescuing the prisoners charged with
completely in the assassination conspiracy.
Timely notice of the plan having been re-
ceiyed by the authorities, Il is probable
that it will be frustrated.
All accounts are TO the effect that the
mountaineers. who constitute the majority
OF the Republican party in Kentucky, are
swearing vengeance against every citizen
in any way identified with the effort to
bring Governor GOebeTs assassins to jus
tice. This is looked upon as more than
an attempt to terrOriZe witnesses for the
people, although. of course. that is includ-
ed. IL means more. These eastern Ken
lucky feudists have never hesitated to track
;heir intended victims anywhere.
The revelations Of the remorseful con-
spirator, Golden, have faller like a thun-
derbolt upon his late partners in rhine,
and while their hackers are declaring that
the evidence can be overturned they are
acting in a way highly suggestive OF a
fear that the State has corroborative tes-
timony in the background which unless
the Witnesses can be silenced In death.

The Rcronceutrado Bin.

As the week opens there is a prospect
that the Payne-FOraker bill. to levy Gus
toms duties on domestic commerce IN vio-
lation of the Constitution Of the United
states. ana for other nefarious purposes,
will be brought to a vote in the Senate,
perhaps by Thursday. The Republican
caucus this afternoon will doubtless settle
the trust plans for the remainder OF the
campaign Of iniQuity, and by tomorrow We
may have a clear idea OF what is TO come.
Mr.. Foraker. general manager OF the con-
spiracy on the floor of the Senate. is con
fdent. or affects to be. that he and his
associates have eXtiuguished enough con-
sciences to constitute a majority for the
measure. But Senator Beverdge whose
back is covered with welts from the lash
OF wrathful public opinion in Indiana. as
well as from the party rawhide of Hanna.
is quite insistent that the gentleman from
Ohio is mistaken. The fact is open &c
some question. and would be more so II
the country had any considerable conf
dence in the ability of Republican place
men to Withstand the crushing power OF
the trusts eXerted upon them through the
Administration and machine.
Il is quite eviden, that Mr. Foraker
thinks he has lured The Constitutionalists
ON his side Of the chamber into Boer
trap. The free trade Republicans voted
for the so-called Porto Rican Relief bill.
which permits the full DingIey rates
TO be eNtorted until new law is en-
acted. The Administration view is that
II these recalcitrants now refuse to vote
for an eighty-ive per cent reduction Of
JhOse duties. they will place themselves in
an attitude Of inLumanity toward the An
tillean poems Of Hanna Rockefeller. Have
meyer. Oxnsrd, Spreckels. Duke. and so on.
which will cause the American people. and
especially their President to shed tears Of
sorrow.
We are not much impressed with this
conception. There are more than a few
Republican Senators who. whatever they
may be caioled or coerced into doing. no.
toriously share the all but universal sen
timent OF the country. that Porto Rico is
an American Territory as much as are
Arizona and the District Of Columbia. and
that to impose any tax whatever upon its
inward or outward trade with other parts
of the United States. is a crime against
the Constitution and against our free in
situations. Statesmen with ideas Of this
kind may be goaded and driven into the
trust pen, but it will not be by such an
argument as the one to which we have al
luded.
on the whole, the situation is not with
out its humor Having forced the Teluc-
taBt House majority TO pass bill which
Congressional constituencies throughout
the Union have denounced as intolerable
and disgraceful the trust syndicate in the
Senate dare not allow The slightest amend
ment, knowing that a large contingent at
the other end Of the building are hoping
and praying for a chance to get the meas
ure back and wiring its neck. So it Will
have to be the plain, unvarnished. and
famine-reelzing Payne bill. as il came TO
the Senate, OF nothing.

HAD TO EMPLOY A PILOT.
4 Mild Controversy Between the
War and Navy Departments.


War and Navy Departments.
The Acting Secretary of the Navy called
the attention Of the Secretary Of War to
a complaint Of Commander Courts. of the
training ship Essex, that the military au-
thorities at Havana compelled him TO SUD-
ply pilot 10 take his ship into the harbor.
Mr. Allen. in his communication to Secre-
tary Root. explains that statute exempts
United States vessels from pilotage re-
quirements at all United States ports.
which, he holds, applies to the case in
question. as Cuba is under American iu-
risdiction. Mr.. Allen says also that even
If the island is regarded as foreign terri
tory the Essex was exempt under an
agreement between nations that national
ships Of one country stall not be required
to take pilots. against their Will. in en-
tering the ports Of another country. Com
mandeT COURTS says he was obliged to pay
the pilot. The Navy regulations forbid
naval vessels from taking pilots except
where their presence is necessary to safety
Il is claimed that Havana Harbor is now
easy of access.
