TWO o'clock in the morning to the
apartments of William Green, who
lived in the second story of a house on
Elizabeth street, killed Green by shoot
ing him in the neck with revolver
and splitting his head open with a
Ratchet. Bankert also shot Mrs. Green

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Recommendations Made in the Re-
port of the Second Assistant
Postmaster General.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The annual
report of Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General William S. Shallenberger
urges regular, direct fast mail sery-
ice between the Pacific coast and the
orient. the reesta adjustment of pneu-
matte tube service generally and the
closer separation of city mail by
pos calclerks on railway trains rather
than by clerks of the mailing division
after its arrival III the general post
office.
The post Office department has no
contract for direct mail service be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Phil
ippines, mails being carried by gov
eminent transports or by steamers
to Hong-Kong and thence by steam
ers of other countries TO Manila.
1T now seems probable" says the
report, that if this government
should withdraw its transports, as
may be done at any time, with the
understanding that its passengers
and fast freight traffic, together with
the increasing volume of it's mails.
| might go to the steamship company
that would submit the most satisfac-
tory proposal for quick and regular
service, favorable contract could be
secured. The mail service and COM
mercial interests would be greatly
| advanced by fast mail steamers adj
herring strictly to schedule time be-
tween the Pacific coast and Manila,
and calling at other ports at regular
intervals, under contract with this
government"
The request for 100000 appropria-
ton for pneumatic service is re-
newed, as basis for the beginning
of the service which, when fully es-
tablished, it is stated, win involve an
annual e penditure of approximately
100000. The department expresses
its opinion and that of the commits
sion of experts that investigated the
~ ee5 that the outright purchase
of the system should not be consid-
cred by congress pending more
complete test.
The report shows that on Juno 30

route service, 1s3,35S of railroad
routes, 45,779 of railway post office
