Legislation by Congress ON the
Philippine and Cuban government
subjects is to be effected by amend
ments to the army appropriation bill.
The Spooner amendment, giving the
president authority to decide on the
civil government of the Philippines, is
now before the Senate, and amend
ments have been offered embodying
the terms on which it is proposed
to withdraw from Cuba. These
require the assurance from Cuba
that she will never give another
government a footing that might
prove a menace to us; that she
will not involve herself in debt beyond
her ability to pay; that she will yield
us naval stations; that she will allow
Intervention If her government fails to
insure order; that we shall have rights
to control sanitation in the yellow
fever districts; and that she viii not
claim the Isle of Pines. 1t is con
sidered improbable that the Cuban
constitutional convention now in
session viii assent to all these require
ments. Ii is unlikely that there will
be a special session Of Congress.

Of both telegrsphic and railroad commu

that conservative estimate as to the
loss of life will easily reach 200. Some
OF the drowned are among the most
prominent citizens OF the coal fields.
The Pocahontas coal field is located
in basin, with high mountain ranges
on either side, Elkhorn creek flowing
through the center Of the basin.
From Tennis to Vivian Yard, distance
Of ten miles, miners cabins, coal com
pany commissaries and coke plants line
the basin The waterspout came 30
suddenly that the entire basin between
the mountain ranges was flooded and
before the terror. stricken people realized
what was upon them they were carried
down by the fo-d, which swept every.
thing in it's path.
The little town Of Keystone, with a
population OF about 1000, was practic-
ally washed away. From best informa-
ton obtsinable at 2 p. M, the loss to the
property will easily reach $2,0OO,OO0.

boxes or these there are 800, all metal
and without keys, the doors having com
bination locks. Heretofore there has
been a great deal of carelessness in the
loss OF key 8 and in handling boxes with
keys, and in this way keys are done
away with entirely and every box in the
office will have a com mbination lock.
The numbers run to Thousand, al
though there are only six hundred boxes
and these do not run consecutively.
They are arranged for best possible con
venience for the patrons Of the Office
and for handling mail matter.
Below these lock boxes for individual
mail are about fifteen boxes for the use
OF newspapers OF the city and for the sev.
eral large mercantile institutions.
Beyond these are three windows for
three carriers. Behi d this large parti-
ton, which extends in glass to the cell
ing, is every possible piece Of postoffice
furniture for the rapid handling Of the
mails. There are tables OF late pattern
for distribution, in papers and letters
files OF every description, iron hooks at,
tached to tables for holding mail bags
open, and in fact every known appliance
now used in a modern postoffice.
Taking the Office as whole there are
few better equipped in the state. There
are many larger but none better.
Postmaster Price informed The Sen.
tinel this morning that it would be about
ninety days before the regular free de-
livery service would be inaugurated, but
he felt sure and safe in saying that it
would be in operation by that time.
The people OF the city have been max
ing complaints about the postof1ce facil-
tiles heretofore. but We believe now that
they will have no cause for complaint
Whatever.
When the removal 10 made Saturday
night all the boxes will have to be learn
ed again. This will cause some little
delay at first and Postmaster Price asks
the indulgence OF the people until they
have mastered the numbers Of the boxes
and the individuals who rent them. He
is not magician and therefore cannot
imbibe the names and plumbers cores
ponoing to all the boxes in one night,
neither could any one else. and while the
delays may not occur, it il more than
probable that they will during the first
week, or until the Office force becomes
accustomed to the new appliances and
to the new boxes.

Grand functions postoffice facilities

The building erected by Orson Adams
for the new postofiice is a structure 35,x
so, one story, with all modern conven-
fences, vault, water, electric lights and
handsome open front.
The fixtures, however, are the princi
pal part OF the decorations OF the office.
These we're purchased from plans Of the
latest models for post" flee fixtures and
we're recommended by the governments
agent. They were purchased from The
Keyless Lock company of Indianapolis
and cost laid down in this city three
thousand dollars.
The material is oak, with golden oak
finish. AS you enter to the right Of one
of the two en- rance doors, is the private
office of Postmaster Edwin Price. This
is little room set off by itself, to which
access is had from the front rotunda by a
door. Immediately adjoining this is the
office known as the money order and
registered letter departments. These
contain every appliance for the rapid
transaction Of business, and here Assist
ant Postmaster Walter Mulkey will hold
forth, and here will be transacted all the
financial part OF the postoffice business.
The above department is not set of
the rear Of the partitions. but is part OF

There are two delivery windows, one
for men and the other for women. This
has many advantages. The women OF
