REWARDED BY The EMPEROR.
The Car Expresses His Appreciation
of His Ministers Conduct
of Delicate Affairs.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 14.-It is stated
on good authority that Emperor
Nicholas, from his private means, had
presented NJ. DeWitte, minister OF
finance, Gen. Kouropatkine, minister
of war, and Count Lamsdorf, minister
of foreign affairs, 100000 roubles each
as an expression of his gratihcation
over the development of Manchurian
affairs, the protection of the railway
and the suppression of disturbances
in Manchuria.
According TO the budget, the cost
of the war To date is 62,OO0,O00 rou.
bles. 1t is proposed to devote $780,
100000 roahles to railways in 1901
and not to negotiate loan.
This favorable budget unquestiona-
bly, strengthens NJ. DeWitte and it is
generally anticipated that the car
will signally recognize his services.
Reports emanating from certain min.
isteries assert that NJ. DeWitte will
become imperial chancellor on the
Russian new year, with superior di-
receive powers over all departments
of the government.

THE POSTAL COMMISSION.
Joint Postal Commission of the Sem
ate and House Has Made
Its Report.
POINTS OK WHICH ALL ARE UNANIMOUS.
Diversity of Opinion Exists are
Set Forth In Separate Individual
Reports-second Glass Mail Likely
TO be CurtaiIed.

| Washington, Jan. 1.-THE postal
commission of the house and senate
which has been Investigating postal
matters for the past two years, has
made it's report. The commission
unanimously reported i'm favor of ex-
GLIDING from the second class mail
rate, first, books whether bound or
unbound; second, newspapers and pc
riodicals unsold sent by news agent
TO another news agent or returned to-
the publisher; third, sample copies of
newspapers above certain small
fixed proportion of the circula-
ton. The commission also unanimous
ly reports against the continuance OF
the system of transmitting mails in
the pneumatic tubes under present
conditions. The commission unani-
mously reports that neither a change
in letter postage nor the establish.
ment of system of parcels post is
practicable under existing conditions
of revenue and expenditure, even il
otherwise desirable. upon which no
opinion is expressed.
Upon the question of railway mail
pay there are five reports. First, &
report signed by Senator's wolcott
and Allison, which declares that the
present rate of railway mail pay is
not excessive and ought not TO be
changed except by the discontinuance
of the appropriations for special IA
cilitics, which is declares should be
discontinued.
Second, "A report signed by Mr..
Loud, concurring with the iast-named
report, except that it recommends
the adoption of railway mail pay
ments in accordance with space occu.
pied instead of by the methods now
prescribed by law.
Third, a report signed by Mr..
Moody, which declares that upon the
evidence the railway mail pay is not
excessive, but recommends further
investigation as TO the prevailing
methods of loading postal cars and
inquiring into the question whether
the methods may not be corrected
so as to result in a saving without in
jury to the carrier. In this report
Mr.. Catchings concurs.
Fourth, report signed by Senator
Martin and Mr.. Catchings, dissenting
from the views of the other members
of the commission with regard to the
discontinuance of appropriations for
special facilities.
Fifth, report signed by Mr.. Flem-
ing in which he stated that he thinks
there should be some reduction in the
present rate of railway mail pay,
either by five per cent. reduction
generally and a still further reduc-
ton on the routes where the volume
of traffic is greatest, or in case these
suggestions are not adopted, by a
change in the special pay for postal
cars.
Mr.. Chandler does not join in any
report owing to his absence from
Washington.
Mr.. Fleming also holds that the
government should pay for the trans
portation of post Office officials when
travelling as passengers in passenger
cars. Free transportation for mail
men should, he holds, be confined to.
mail cars.

New York, Jan. 12.--wm. A. Eddy,
Of Bayonne. n. y, says that since
1892 he has drawn from his kite wire
hundreds OF electric signals, both reg
ular and irregular which MAJ have
come from some planet and that the
signals have been usually IN groups
OF three, regularly timed like a Morse
sounder. When the ends of the kite
sustained steel wires are separated by
silk strands. the sparks jump at IL
second intervals.
Mysterious Dissppesrances.
Then there are mysterious disgp-
pearances of all electric action for
several minutes. These electric sparks
come from a high point in the air not
near to the low tension electric cur
rents OF trolley and live wires.
VIII MAKE Measurements.
Mr.. Eddy is about 10 begin care
full series Of measurement of these
sparks lengths. He does not believe
that the Morse saunders affect his
wire, because the dynamo electricity
sticks 10 It's wire and does not radiate
20 unknown distances so far as
known, as do the high tension sparks
used in wireless telegraphy. and the
same high tension sparks drawn by
him from the clouds. 9as
May Come From, some PIaset.
Mr.. Eddy says that these spark
signals may come from en- outer
planet because electricity travels az
the rate Of 10000 miles a second and
is IA tireless as light. which travels
lss, 300 miles second, a. measured by
a rapidly revolving toothed wheel.
Great variability In effect is produced
when there is apparently no change
whatever In the condition OF the up

Has Tried to Decipher the signals.
Mr. Eddy has been trying To de-
cipher these signals since 1892. IL il

come from Pixies Peak and at a high
point in the air. Mr.. Eddy points ont
that electricity In superior 10 light
