THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Remains the Same on the Santa Fe
ROad-TOpeka Operators
Full of Hope.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Betwcen $500 and
5000 telegraph operators on the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, COW
ering the territory from Chicago to
San Francisco, left their desks Satur-
day afternoon and walked out on a
strike. According to the men, advices
from points along the 5000 miles of
track in the system indicated that the
freight traffic was practically tied up
and that passenger trains were run
ming slowly, with no further destina-
tion than the next division terminal.
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 13.-There is but
little change in the strike situation
on the Santa Fe. Topeka operators
who went out hold an expectant at
titude still awaiting developments.
Superintendent of Telegraph Sholes
says that every station is manned to
carry on normal business, though
they have not the full complement of
operators everywhere.
Los Angeles, CAL. Dec. 13.-At Cen
eral Manager Nevins' Office it is assert
ed in regard to the Santa Fe strike
that everything ''is as quiet and Sc
rene as if there had been no strike
Chief Clerk Henderson claims that ap.
plications for positions continue to
reach the general managers office by
the score. and as all vacancies have
been filled on the divisions under Mr..
Nevins' jurisdiction. the applications
have been referred to Vice President t
Barr, at Chicago.

FOUNDERS IN A GALE.
Iron Ore Barge Charles Foster Goes
Down i'm Lake Erie with
Eight on Board.

Erie, Pa, Dec. 1o.-In, the midst
of one of the most bitter gales
that ever swept Lake Erie the
iron ore barge Charles Foster, in tow
of the Iron Duke, went to the bottom
at four o'clock Sunday morning ten
miles off Erie, and eight persons were
drowned, as ;follows: Capt. John
Bridge of Cleyeland; first mate, name
unknown; second mate, name un-
known; Seamen Robert Wood and Will
liam Kelly, of Port Austin, Mich; Cook
Mrs. May, of Detroit; two unknown
deck hands. The Charles Foster was
one of the fleet of James Corrigan, OF
Cleveland, and for two months has been
running from Duluth to Erie with iron
ore. Her cargo consisted of 1900 tons
of ore. Capt. Ashley. of the Iron Duke.
made Erie in safety.
There are 80 to 100 feet of water
where the wreck occurred, and there
is little hope of ever being able to To-
cate the place. The Foster was valued
at $4,000, but there was no insurance,
as it elapsed December 1. The cargo
was not insured.
The loss of the Fosters crew runs the
number of lives lost on the lakes this
season up to 11s. The previous total of
ITO was already the largest for many
seasons.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Report of Postmaster Gem
eral Smith.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Postmaster Gener.
al Charles Emory Smith, in his annual re-
port, besides discussing domestic and in
sular operations in the last fiscal year, de-
votes particular attention to the abuses OF
the second-class mail matter privileges and
extension of rural free delivery. He makes
the following recommendations for legisla-
ton: Compulsory separation by publish
ers of second class mail matter; amendment
OF the interstate commerce law to prohibit
telegraph and express companies or their
employees from aiding or abetting in the
green goods or lottery swindles, or any other
wrongful scheme carried on jointly by mall
and common carriers: punishment Of per-
sons who forcibly attempt to enter mail
cars, or who assault railway mail clerk
While on duty; authority for post office In
spectors to take out search warrants when
ever necessary; an appropriation for con-
structins inspectors lookouts in post Of
nces wherever the postmaster general
Ceems them necessary; payment Of incl
dental expenses incurred by local officers
or others In the arrest, detention and keep
ing Of prisoners charged with violation of
postal laws until the United States marshal
takes custody of the prisoners.
During the past fiscal year the total re-
ceipts from all sources aggregated $102, 354, =
579: total expenditures. sl07, ,740,26S. The ex-
cess OF expenditures over receipts was
IS, ,3S5,6S9. The revenues have now passed
the hundred million mark. The deficits have
shrunk from $9020,05 for the fiscal year
1898 to s, ,3s5 69S for the last fiscal year, a
decrease of s., 635 217 in three years. notw!th-
standing the large expenditures now made
for several new features. The estimates
follow: Total postal revenue for 1900, $102,
54579: add ~ per cent. for estimated
increase year ending June 30, 1901, s, ,676, ,593;
total estimated revenue for 1901, s110, OBJ ,172.
Add six per cent. for estimated increase
year ending June 80, 1902, Sc, Sol $40; estimated
revenue for 1902, $116, ,633, ,042. Estimated ex-
pend1ture for 1902 $121 ,276, ,349; deficiency for
1902 estimated, s4,es4,so7.
The extraordinary extension of rural free
delivery is characterized as the most far
reaching feature of postal development In
recent times. 1t is factor, says the post
master general, in the social and economic
life, and makes communities feel new
pulsation. 1--WE are confronted" he says
with the problem of gradually extending
| the delivery service over the whole area OF
the country where it is physically feasible
or where the population is not so sparse as
to make 1t unreasonable. The gross annual
cost of maintaining rural free delivery
through such territory Is approximately
estimated at $20,555, GOO. 1t can be extended
over practically the whole country at ar
ANNUAL cost of less than $4,000 900, allowing
for savings for discontinuances of offices
and routes and increased receipts"
The total estimate for maintaining free
delivery during the ensuing year Is s., 800
OOO. The report urges additional postal fa-
| ciltties for New York city, and indorses thu
project for hall of records in Washington
