Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
Washington. June 2I-The system of free
delivery Of mail at the farm homestead Is
developing in the United States by grea,
strides. and is already becoming an i'm.
portant feature Of the business Of the Post
ONCE Department. With but few excep-
tons success has attended these rural free
deliveries throughout the States to such an
extent that now the ciamor for installing
new routes Is greater than ever before.
Considerable pressure is being brought to
bear by most every Senator and Representa-
tive In Congress. IN behalf Of applications for
the establishment Of many hundreds OF
new routes. and consequently the work has
Increased TO such an extent that a large
force OF extra employees will be added to
the Rural Bureau the first of July TO cope
with the fast increasing demands. Already
1000 rural free delivery routes have been
established and IN operation in forty-nve
States. and the number for the service pend
Ing consideration reaches over 5000 cases.
Not only because of the fact that this new
service Is of great benefit and convenience
for the farmer are the Congressman maxi
ing strenuous efforts in their States to Sc
cure additional service of this kind, but
because the establishment OF these routes
In the districts Is considered by the people
as congressional favors, and hence figures
as an important political factor In further
ing the interests OF the Representatives. The
result is great pressure is being brought to
bear from all sides and the department is
literally deluged with APPLICATIONS. backed I'D
by demands.

route serves from 100 to so people. and
with the present establishment it is esti-
mated that the daily delivery of mails is
provided for at the scattered homes Of

lation.

CONDITION OF SHAMROCK Il.
Fears That the Challenger Can Never
he Restored.

LONDON. May 24-The accumulation
of information concerning the condition
Of Sir Thomas Lipton's damaged Cup
challenger, Shamrock II, leads to the
fear that perhaps the yacht can never
be restored to the condition necessary
for competition with the American de
tenders Of the coveted trophy.
1t has been learned that when the
challenger went aground in the Clyde
she became so firmly imbedded in the
mud that a three-inch, hawser was
broken in the effort TO release her. Ex-
perts argue from tbs that the yacht
must have been badly strained in the
main sections.
At the time Shamrock II went into
the Princes Dock at Glasgow some of
the yachtsmen expressed the opinion
that the yacht was too heavily winged
for her draught-
The repairs to the challenger may also
be delayed. as the result OF fire at
Denny Bros plant, which destroyed the
moIdinE and rigging lofts.
A telegram was received from Glas-
gov today. stating that Archie Denny.
the chief partner in the firm of Denny
Bros. the builders Of Shamrock Il, dis
credits the statement that the accident
by which the challenger was wrecked
was caused by the breaking of the bob
stay eye.

Greene. President of the National Asphalt
Company. said today that he had offered
work only to Raymond A. Linton, John y
Cleveland, and b o. Mahaffy, three of
the dismissed West Point cadets. and
would do nothing that would IN anyway
be regarded as subversive of discipline
If they want reinstatement General
Greene said. they viii have to look else
where for help. l will. DO nothing for
them in that direction They mpst pad
die their own canoes so far as am con-
cerned if they intend 10 try to get back
into the Military Academy. At present
they are down, they have asked me for
employment, and 1 am willing to lend
hand"
The three young men viii tell General
Greene late this afternoon whether or not
they have decided TO accept his offer.
They asked him yesterday to hold open
for them the places he was willing 10
make in the Asphalt Compauys employ
until they had made d visit to Washing
ton to see what were the prospects for re-
instatement- General Greene told them
that if they went to Washington with
such a purpose he would have nothing
more to do with them. He said that his
offer went without conditions and ne gave
them until this afternoon to think it over.
The general said today that if they ae-
cepted employment ne would start them
in at the bottom of the business and ad-
vance them without favor according to
fitness and ability He asserted, with a
smile that he did not intend to send them
to Venezuela to help to look out for the
company's interests in the asphalt war.
Charles A TeIford, one Of the six sus-
pended men, and who would have stood
first in his class in June, has taken an

AGUINALDo TO VISIT AMERICA.
viii Probably Como to This COun-
try Next Fail.


AguinaIdo viii prob bly,. come to the
United States early next fan. he has al
ready informed General Macarthur Of
his desire to visit this country and hopes
to leave Manila not .ateF than the ist
Of September. when conditions in the isl
ands viii permit his ur csndiuonaI release
from custody.
Reports from General Macarthur show
that Aguinaldo is now permitted large
amount of liberty. but until civil govern
ment is inaugurated it is not probable
that he will be allowed to have perfect
freedom.
AguinaIdo's explanation FOR wanting to
visit the United States is that he would
like to study American Institutions and
the English language with a view to ben
citing his country on his return. he
desires to take up the study of economic
and political questions in the United
States and asked General Macarthur for
suggestions as to the best time to come
senor ArreIIano, who has greatly influ-
enced AguinaIdo since his capture, has
suggested to him that be make his trip
in time to be present at the next session
of Congress. and he has now decided to
wait until fall before leaving Manila.
The Federal party Of the Philippines
consisting of some Of the most prominent
natives of the islands. held a convention
several weeks ago and decided TO name
two delegates to the United States who
viii come here to study American institu-
tons
One of the delegates selected IS Don
Tomas Del Rosario, who has been very
active in the formation Of Federal So
cieties in the island. Rosario is a leading
lawyer of Manila and has studied in
some Of the leading colleges of Spain.
Don Jose Abreau, the other delegate, is
now in this country, and has begun the
study Of international Law. He speaks

PLANS OF THE MACHINISTO
Demands for Shorter Hours to Ex-
tend TO the Railroad Shops.
a General Strike to Be Called After
the Toronto Convention Unless the
Companies Yield to the Union.
Status of the Existing Labor Fight.

Companies Yield to the Union.
Status of the Existing Labor Fight.
James O'Conneu, President Of the In
ternational Association of Mechinists,
announced today that at the ninth an
nuaI convention of that order, to be
held at Toronto June 3, a date would
be set for the railroads to grant nine
hour day 10 machinfsts. and that unless
the railroads agree to this, a strike will
be called for the coming summer which
will take 10000 men out of the railroad
shops.
Mr. O'ConneH said the strike today Of
500 machinists on the Seaboard Air
Line, SEQ on the Wabash, and 200 on
the Glover Leaf route was simply evil
dence Of the dissatisfaction of the men,
and that railroad machinists are bound
to, have a nine-hour workday.
1t is a poor general said he. when
asked why the railroad men were not
ordered out last Monday, who calls
into action all his men for one engage
ment The railroad machinfsts do not
compete with those working in other
lines and can support the strikers while
they are out
1T was simply a matter of Policy
that the railroad men were not includ-
ed n the order for the May 20 walkout
1t looks as if the nine-hour-day fight
would be won quite easily by the men
now out Then the time of the railroad
men viii come this summer
night is still without results Nothing
definite has been decided there Great
weight win be carried by the confer
enee between the New York employers
ard their men, and I hope an early
agreement viii be reached, so that the
strike order can be revoked Monday,
possibly. The committee representing
the machinists on the Southern Rail
way have not ali reached Washington,
and tie conference here with Mr. Can
non, the general manager, wiz probably
F1not be held today"
Mr. OConneIl viii leave for Toronto
tonight and headquarters viii be To-
Gated there until after the convention.
which viii last for a week, beginning
June ). The Offices in the Corcoran
Building, this city, viii not be closed,
but there viii be no information re-
garding the strike given out there.
Ire only large cities Ehere the en-
ployers appear TO control the situation
are Cincinnati and san Francisco. In
the former city the large firms Ieagued
together at the outbreak Of the trou-
Bile to resist the demands Of the ma
! chinists and still hold out
IN San Francisco, TIE Union Iron
Works, the Dresden Iron Works. and
the Morgan shiPbuiIding Company are
holding cut against the desires of the
machinists.
As far as the local aspect of the ma
| chinists' strike for nine-hour day is
| concerned, everything IS quiet. The
| thirty machinists employed by the Ca
| hill Electric Typewriter Company, who
walked out, are all back IN their places,
and receiving practically ten hours pay
| for nine hours work.

TIE PRINT CLOTH SITUATION.
Proposed Shutdown Plan Fails 10
Work in aIassachusetts.

FALL RIVER, Mass, May A.-Confi-
deHce in the joint shutdown and cut
down plan OF the FAN River Manufactur-
ers' Association is apparently on the
wane. As far as learned, less than ten
treasurers have signed out of thirty-nine
local corporations. 1t is said that the
clause which permits print cloth mills to
curtau at convenience and without stip-
ulation as to time does not operate to ad-
vantage Men experienced IN mil af
fairs say the tendency IS toward abandon
ment of the committee agreement and to-
ward possible individual action on the
part of the corporations unless the execu-
tive committee can offer something more
compatible with the widely different in
tereSts-
The fine goods mills managers are fight
ing shy of compromising themselves on
a cut-down agreement unless they have
some assurance that the operatives would
accept a reduction of wages at this time
without resistance
According TO the sentiments expressed
by the officials of the labor organizations
there is little doubt as to what the action
Of the mill workers would be They would
inaugurate d general strike
