General Smith is very proud Of the suc.
cess Of the rural free delivery. which
has Iassed from the experimental to the
permanent stage under his administra-
ton of the post Office department.
Speaking Of that service a postal official
said: "There is no branchot the pos
tai service that is more popular with
the people than rural free delivery. II
was only little while ago that rural
free delivery was looked upon by many
as an experiment that must result in
failure. Even Its most ardent advocates
had some doubt as to its ultimate sue
cess. But the experimental stage has
passed and the service has now come to
stay, and 1t will probably be extended
until 1t reaches every hamlet. aud viii

line OF the more expanded use of copper
One manufacturer had recent orders for
twenty-nine of these copper sheathed
coaches. In carrying out electrical pro-
jects copper is an indispensable article
and in other departments of industry
the field for copper is likely TO become
greatly enlarged"
FOREIGN COPPER MARKETS.
American exports of copper in ingots,
bars and plates during 1900 amounted In
value to $55, ,29l ,l37, being an increase
of sl4 ,000, 600 over 1899. With the ex-
ception OF few thousand dollars the
entire American export went 10 Europe.
France headed the list OF importers with
$ll, ,lS3,S45, followed by Germany and
the United Kingdom.
ARIZONA ADDS WEALTH.
Recent compilations OF the increase in
copper production OF Arizona present
some remarkable figures. In this COM
plication it is shown that in 1888 the
territory produced 2s,745,s ,s85, pounds Of
copper for 1893 the amount was no.
1923, 1884 pounds, and in 1900 the total
reached l52, ,i67 ,403 pounds. These
figures are reproduced from the Tomb
stone Prospector; the paper also remark
ing that at 10 cents pound. allowing 8
per cent in increase for production, the
value of Arizona's copper production for
1900 would reach s2l, 10000.

PHILIPPINE CIVIL SERVICE.
The Work of Classifying and ReGu-
IatIHg Salaries Completed

The Civil Service Commissioners have
been informed that the Philippine Civil
Service Commission has completed its
work OF classifying and regulating the
salaries of officers and employees in the
Philippine Civil Service. as called for by
the act passed March 9 and that the
classification went into effect April l.
The clerks employed il the Philippine
Civil Service are classified the same as
clerks II like positions in the depart
meHts here in washington With one or
two exceptions the salaries paid are also
the same There are a number Of minor
positions however, the salaries of which
are much below those paid for similar
service by the United States Govern
ment- For instance, a jauitor is only
paid SI20 per annUm, and two packers
employed in the Office OF Superintendent
Of Public instruction receive but 500 each
per annum.
Although all the clerEships have been
placed IN the classified service it is M
derstood they have all been filed and
thus covered Dy the protecting folds OF
Civil Service
II was said this morning that. although
all the clerks had been appointed prior
TO the PRONUNCIATION OF the classification
and service regulation, yet the clerks
would be called upon to take the exam
nation, and that those failing to make
the required per cent would be dropped
from the rolls.

A RIOT ON BROAD STREET.
Checks AEGegrntiHE S33, 900 Picked
Up After the Melee.

NEW YORK, April IA free fight
among half i dozen merchants. messeR-
ger boys, and an Italian fruit peddler
started a disturbance at Broad Street and
Exchange Place yesterday. which quickly
assumed the proportions of a riot. It
gave the reserve police from the Old Slip
station all they could do to restore order
among the two or three thousand men
and boys who had quickly formed a howl
ing mob that choked Broad Street for a
half block north and south of Exchange
Place. In the riot oranges and bananas
were used as missiles, noses were punch
cd, ribs were kicked, and clothes were
torn by those struggling in the street;
while mechanics at work on the lofty
Exchange office building deIiber-
ately showered wet mortar over the fight
crs far below them. An empty soda wa
ter bottle descended several stories and
landed on the head of Harry Van Tassel,
a broker of Il Broad Street. who lives at
80 West 156th Street. An ambulance sur
geon dressed the scalp wound
Several messenger boys lost the letters
and checks which they were carrying.
After calm had been restored checks for
more than $4,000 which had been picked
up on the street We're restored to their
owners. These included one check for
anoth for $500, drawn by J. Z. Willis
ton. and a third for 800 drawn by Van
Schaick & co. Bystanders found them
while the boy was looking for his hat
other checks were lost by other bows
which were not recovered. Payment YVES
stopped on them at the banks when their
loss was reported. Brokers complain
that too few policemen are on regular
duty i'm the Wall Street region during the
busy hours. Fights among boys and ped
dIers are Of almost daily occurrence
though none ever assumed such proper
lions as yesterdays.
The high tension under which the horde
of curbstone brokers who do business il
Broad Street have worked for the last
few weeks was shown BY the eager way
in which many of them sought relief for
their nerves by joining In the fight with
lungs and fists They took the boys part
against the peddlers.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY AFFAIRS
Two Attempts Made to Break Into q
RockXiIIe Residence.

ROCKVILLE, Md, April IA bold at
tempt was made on Monday night by
some unknown person to enter the home
of Mrs John NJ Heagy, of this place.
The would-be burglar was frightened
away from the window through which he
was preparing to make an entrance before
the people of the house were aroused He
made two attempts to- enter the house on
last Monday, first by way of enc of the
back windows, supposedly for the purpose
! of concealing himself within until the
family had retired, and the second at
tempt was made about > or 3 o'clock on
yesterday morning
Adjoining the back porch of the house,
but to one side, is the marble yard shop
of Mr.. Heagy. About O'Clock on Monday
evening several young men were in the
shop talking among themselves when one
of them heard a noise overhead, which
seemed TO be made by a cat on the tin
roof. The noise ceased for a while, when
the attention of the young men was called
10 il again. After all but Mr. Heagy's
son Charley and another young man had
left, the walking on the roof began again.
They made an investigation Going out
the back door they saw a man jump
quickly to the other side Of the roof. and
thinking he was making his escape to
the street. they rushed through to the
front. The intruder made good his eS-
cape by returning TO the back part of the
roof, jumping of, and running into the
shTubbeTy. Early in the morning one of
the young ladies Of the house says she
heard someone on the back porch roof.
The room Of Mr- Weaver, an apprentice
Of Mr. Heagy's <. is on level with the
back porch Mr.. Weaver says that he
called out and the man jumped from the
| back porch roof and made his escape. 1t
was impossible to distinguish whether he
was black or white but II IS supposed he
was a stranger who was seen to walk
past the house several times during the
day.
