Incrense of Postage stamps.
From Leslie's Weekly


A statement going to show the mar
velous increase in the use of postal ia
cilities by the American people is that
of the director of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing at Washington,
Just issued, in which IL appears that
the number of postage stamps sent out
for use during the current fiscal year
includes 1900 900, 900 1-cent stamps, g.
500. .000, 900 2-cent stamps and 309, ,236, 900
of higher denominations. The total, in
Guiding special delivery 10-cent stamps,
is 5116, 236, 900. against 4,377, ,727 900 for
the previous fiscal year, an increase of
over 800 900, 900 stamps. 1t is not easy
to grasp the full significance of these
stupendous totals. A few calculations
may help. According to these figures
sufficient stamps will be issued this
year to supply every man. woman and
child in the United States with at least
sixty stamps each. Distributed among
the population of the entire globe they
would supply each person with postage
for not less than three letters Placed
side by side in a continuous line the
total issue would girdle the entire earth
three times, forming a variegated rib

which placed one upon another would

erett Hale says. that the United States
postal system is the greatest of popu-
lar educators, these figures will serve
to show the extent of Uncle Sans pres

A YOUNG SCIENTISTS FEAR.
He Is ChIOrOformed and Taken

Mountain Heights Frighten Him and

From the San Francisco Call.
Pasadena, CAL, Aug. 1S.-With
nerves collapsed by the effects of alti-
tude and fright at the canyons which
yawned beside him as he went up the
trail, haunted by an uncomfortable i'm
pulse to fling himself into the abyss,
Horace N. Seaver found himself phys
ically and mentally unable to under
take the descent of Mount Wilson, and
was put under the influence of an an
aesthetic and carried down on a lit
ter. SeaVer is q graduate OF noted
Eastern university, a student of geol-
ogy and botany a lover of the SUB :
lime in nature, but withal very mod
est as well as a very nervous young
man.
On Saturday, Aug. 10, Seaver started
up the trail astride a burro. For the
hrst five or six miles of the ascent
Seaver's love of the picturesque and
the semitic was abundantly requited.
Climbing higher there came upon his
senses that peculiar giddiness that the
Iaritied air of great attitudes pro-
ouces on some delicately organized
tenperaments. The trail began to mar
row and wind its tortuous way about
me sheer wall of mountain, and be-
meath yawned canyons gaping out like
pits of death.
1t was here that Seaver began to
experience that strange phenomenon
Of the mind which frequently lays hold
upon those who stand on dizzy preci-
plces, impelling them to fling them
selves into the depths beneath. Pur-
sued by this terrible desire, reeling
with dizziness at the depths which
opened at his side, and trembling In
every limb. Seaver clutched his saddle

ehasms, he chung with might and main

remaining miles into camp by the
surefooted beast. suffering the while
an the mental torture and agonies of
which an imaginative mind is capable.
Even on the pleasant plateau, with
IlS white tents and their cheerful oc-
cupants, Seaver's composure failed TO
return Every view tended TO intensi-
~ the strain upon his overwrought
nerves. BY Sunday afternoon his con-
pltlon had become so serious that he

BASEBALL MAGNATEs MEET.
Meeting Held In Chicago to Secure
 Protection to Minor Leagues.

Chicago, September 5.-'The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues" was organized at a meeting here tonight of minor league presidents.
 The presidents in attendance were as follows: Hickey, Western League; Sexton Three T. Meyers, Western Association Powers, Eastern League; Murnane, New England League; Farrell New York State League; Lucas, Northwestern League; O'Rourke, Connecticut League, and the executives of the Southern and California Leagues were represented by proxy.
 Little was done at the meeting except to effect temporary organization, with President Hickey as chairman and Presi- dent Farrell as secretary. Plans were made to respect all minor league con tracts and provide against the jumping of their players to the big leagues without a recompensation. This will probably be done by debarrtng the player from further engagements In the minor leagues if he leaves without his club s consent.
 Neither the American nor the National League will be adopted as a champion, but the new organization will try to re- main independent and friendly with both. Permanent organization will be, effected at fall meeting in New York. l

BAD WRECK ON
 TEXAS PACIFIC

 Passenger Train

Dallas. Texas, September 5.-A Texas Pacific freight train crashed through a Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe passenger train at the crossing of the two roads in the Eastern part of the city this after noon about o'clock The combination baggage and express car was cut in two and the body of the Dlail clerk, A. F. Jackson of Waco was found buried under the cab of the freight engine. which was overturned and badly wrecked and the two front cars, loaded with horses and mules were demolished, killing between fifteen and twenty of the animals.

According to all &C., counts the passenger train stopped and whistled near the crossing, and the en- gineer, fireman and others on the freight state that it did the same.

settle the strike, these terms to hold good until tthis (Thursday) evening.
 "We submitted these terms to MT. Shaffer and his colleagues. We were ad- vised by the representatives of the Amal- gamated Association this (Thursday) af- ternoon that there was not sufficient time to consider the propositions; that the officers at the Pittsburg headquarters had no authority to accept or decline it.: that the advisory board is summoned to meet tomorrow (Friday).
 ''The officers of the Amalgamated Asso- citation expressed their conviction to us that the proposed terms will not be ap- proved. We entertain the hope that an amicable settlement of this conflict will yet be reached"
 MT. Mitchell declined to make public the proposition made to the Steel Corporation or the, answer made by MT. Schwab.
 It was learned late tonight that at the request of the conciliation committee MT. Schwab agreed today to extend the time for the acceptance of his offer to tomor- row (Friday) evening.
 A report from Pittsburg that MT. Shaf- fer and MT. Williams were supposed to have started from New York was dis credited by the positive information that the advisory board of the Amalgamated Association will meet in Pittshurg tomor- row to consider MT Schwab's proposition. This, it is understood, differs from MT. Morgan's proposition only In that 1t stip- ulates that the mills in which the United States Steel Corporation had succeeded In opening as non-union mills should re- main non-union, the company being un- willing to abrogate the contracts which 1t has made with the men now at work in those mills.

JAPAN ANXIOUS
 TO FIGHT RUSSIA
Bishop McKim Thinks His Country Has Better Army
 and Navy Than Czar

Indianapolis, Ind, September 5.-Bishop John McKlm of Tokio, Japan, chairman n of the executive board of foreign missions of the Episcopal church is visiting his grother here. He said tonight:
 Japan is exceedingly anxious to fight Russia Of the people of the Mikado's realm, nineteen-twentieths are eager to light, and if 1t were not for Japan's fool ish pride about borrowing money, she could win in struggle with Russia.
 ''Japan's fleet is much superior to that of Russia in the eastern waters. Japan's army Is larger and Is made up of bravo and more intelligent men than those com posing Russia's forces in Manchuria ana China. I think, however, that if Japan does not fight Russia very soon her chances of winning will deteriorate. Rus- sia at present has no coaling station near Japan, but In two years the Sibe- rian railroad will be completed and tn 2 forces of the Czar will then be In much better position to war against Japan and kindred Western powers.
 Japan is very much opposed to the par tition of China and is especially desrous that Russia shall not secure a foothold in the empire, for Japan authorities well know that Corea in such an event would soon go as Manchuria went and Russia would be impregnable in a position ena- bling the Czar to dictate to Japan.
 Japan Is anxious for the accomplish ment of an alliance between America, England and itself"

NEW SESSION OF
 TEXAS LEGISLATURE
First Extra Session Expires But the Appropriation Bill
 Must Yet Pass

Dallas, Texas. September 5.-The sec. ond session of the Texas Legislature as. sembled at Austin today in conformity with the Governors proclamation. The first extra session expired by constitu- tional limitation at midnight last night. The principal work for this special ses. sion Is to pass an appropriation bill for state expenses for the next two years in- volving from five to six million dollars. State Treasurer Robbins filed new bond today with the Secretary of State for s75,000. Among his sureties is former Gov ernor James S. Hogg. The bond was at once approved by the Governor The old bondsmen were identified with the First National bank of Austin, which failed on August 3 and in which the state up to date has lost upwards of three hundred and fifty thousand dol lars.
 Governor Savers sent in a message to the Legislature in which he took occa- sion to refer to the drouth which has wis., ited every section of Texas this year and expressed the fear that 1t would interfere considerably with the states revenue as 1t had caused considerable damage to crops and would necessarily affect the money markets of the state and prevent farmers as well as others paying taxes as promptly as usual

CAPTAIN FoRsYTHE EXPLAINS.
He Did Not Give Out Interview On
 Schiey-sampson Question.

Washington, September 5.-A reply has been received at the Navy Department from Captain Forsythe to the letter call ing his attention to an alleged interview published on the subject of the Schley court of inquiry. An earlier letter of the department to Captain Forsythe 1t ap- pears did not reach him.
 The following statement of the charac- ter of the reply was made to the depart ment:
 Captain Forsythe while coming East was detained over Sunday at Kansas City. Mo. He declined to talk with re- porter. It seems, however, that he fell into private conversation with some per- son in the hotel with no idea that what he said would be repeated in any form. His remarks were distorted and were used to form the substance of the alleged interview.
 Captain Forsythe has made such dis claimer, and has so frankly avowed his deep regret at any indiscretion in the premises that the department Is satis- fled there was no Intent on his part of violating the order of the department to refrain from public statement.
 No action will be taken by the de- pertinent further than to inform Captain Forsythe that his explanation is satisfac- tory and that the incident will not be treated as affecting his excellent record" !"

Moxe to EortIfy lsthmua.

Washington, September 5.-At the Co., lombian legation the arrival of 1000 Co., lombian troops at Barranquilla is re- garded as move to strongly fortify the isthmus and prevent the disorders which have prevailed there. Up to this time the government has directed its attention to the disturbance in the interior and only a few troops were sent to the isth- mus, that the men there being considered sufficient to garrison Bocas del Toro.
 Now, however. the reports of trouble around Bocas del Toro have shown the need of a strong force along the isth- mus, and troops are being sent from the south to Barranquilla- From this point they are within easy way of conmuni- cation with the isthmus and with the Colombian war boat. General Pinzon Is in that locality prepared to take forward large endorsements. The outbreak at Bocas del Toro shows the wide extent of the disturbance, that point being at the extreme west of the isthmus ad- Joining Costa Rfca, and part of Costa Rica, until the recent award of President Loubert of France giving Bocas del Toro to Colombia.

Dr, Silva Presents Formal Let- ter from His County We|-
 coming Mediation
ECUADOR CREATES A STIR
Her Announced intention of Invading Colombia Causes Considerable Surprise-.day Be the lnterven-
 ing Party Preparing to Act.

Washington, September 5.-Dr. Silva, the Colombian minister, has sent to the State Department a formal and written accept ance in behalf of Colombia of the Ameri- can proposition to mediate. The letter was dated August N, three days after Secretary Hays offer of mediation
 Washington, September 5.-Considerable surprise is expressed at the news of the intention of Ecuador to invade Colombia, as disclosed by the dispatch received from Cali, which Is the most important of the cities of the Department of Cauca bordering on Ecuador. Senor Plaza, the new president of the latter country, who has just assumed office, heretofore has given evidence of his intention to observe strict neutrality between Colombia and Venezuela in their pending difficulties. The impression prevails that the invading force is under the direction of the inter vening party in Ecuador, which probably has force of men near the border line and is taking an early opportunity to act before the new president can successfully interfere.
 The real objective point is believed to be Panama, where the invaders may as- sist the Colombian revolutionists and those who may be brought from Nicara- qua. Reliance is placed, however, by the Colombian officials on the presence of United States men-of-war at Panama to prevent any attack on the place. The battleship Iowa is expected at Panama in 8 day or two and with the Ranger now there will be able to land a considerable force of marines should this be necessary to prevent attack.
 From the acting Governor of the State of Panama word was received in official circles today that conditions on the isthmus were not serious Open traffic Is being preserved by the Colombian gov- ernment. The officials of the latter gov- ernment, the dispatch added, were ex- pecting the expeditions that have been announced from Ecuador and Nicaragua have no fear of any serious difficulties on the isthmus, saying that in addition to the forces already there to prevent an outbreak, one thousand men now at Barranquilla are under orders to proceed to the vicinity and should reach there in 8 couple of days.
