THEY ARE U. 9. TERRITORY.


CHICAGO. September S.-A special to the
Record from Ottawa. Ont. says:
Recently communication was sent from
the post ONCE department here to Wash
ington asking II the United States postal
authorities regarded the Philippines as COM
Ing under the domestic postal rate. or. in
other words. whether the Philippines were
United States territory. and the reply was
in the affirmative. Accordingly today the
Canadian postal authorities issued notifi-
cation to all postmastsrs that on and after
the LIST Of October next the domes.-c rate
Will apply to Porto Rico. Hawaii. Guam,
the Philippines and the American islands
OF the Samoan group.
Thy popularity of this order Is that while
the distance from Canada to the Philip
pines is twice that from Canada to Great
Britain. the postal rate to the latter Is
Just double that to the Philippines. To
Great Britain IL IL 2 cents per half ounce,
while to the Philippines 1t will be 2 cents
per ounce.
When the attention Of Mr.. Shalenberger,
the second assistant postmaster general
who Is acting postmaster general. was call
ed TO the above dispatch he stated that the
decision Of the department was rendered in
connection with the treaty with Canada of
1887, which provided that there should be
an exchange OF domestic rates between the
United States and Canada.
The domestic rate having been establish
ed between the United States and the Phil
lppines Canada asked whether her citizens
could take advantage of those rates and
reply was given that she could do So In
other words. that the Philippines constitute
9 part of the postal territory of the states
This statement Of fact has no bearing on
any ruling that may be made by any other
branch of the government.
Note of the official postal guide states:
In this order the Island Of Porto Rico
and the territory Of Hawaii are included in
the term United States. and the Island OF
Guam. the Philippine archipelago and Tu-
tuila are included in the term island pos

the People at Scranton.
Commissioner Powderly of the immigra-
ton bureau, delivered the Labor day ad-
dress to the people OF Scranton, Pa, Mon
day. He contrasted the condition Of labor
ing men in ante-Christian days and now
He advised every man to buy clothing and
other articles made by union workmen and
containing union labels. He said that all
reasonable employers of men would accept
union men If the matter were properly laid
before them.
Mr.. Powderly said that the. time to settle
strike Is before 1t begins. He thought
this ought to be done In the anthracite coal
region to ward of the threatened strike
He thought that the coal mine owners
should consider the matter, and that the
workingmen should go carefully He point
ed out the great financial loss that would
follow strike. He said that II 14O 900
miners should strike the daily loss In wages
would be $4,000. During the fifteen years
that he was general master workman Of the
knights Of Labor he never ENCOURAGED nor
ordered strike. It was not necessary to
do So He would try every remedy before
resorting to q strike.
Mr.. Powderly recalled the unfortunate
strikes OF 1859. 1870 and 1877. Before q
strike ID brought on this time everything
should be done to prevent It. Mr.. Powderly
took hand vote OF his audience, and It
was unanimous In sustaining his Views that
there should be no strike II It could be
avoided.
