THE PORTE AND THE MAILS.
THIS CoUNTRY's SERVICE CARRIED ON
THROUGH OTHER POWERS

Washington, May 12-Mr Leishman. the United
States Minister at Constantinople, up to this time
has not communicated with the State Department
respecting the trouble at the Turkish capital over
the efforts Of the Porte to suppress the foreign
postoffices.
States Government is OF a few OF the great
powers which does not maintain an absolutely in
dependent postal service between Constantinople
and the outside world. The others have a system
or closed mail pouches. By which the malls
not permitted 10 pass through Turkish hands while
in transit between the border and the embassies
at Constantinope. The British Government has a
nne postoffice building far from its embassy.
and Austria and France also have suitable postal
establishments in Constantinople. These were es-
tablished originally not much from a lack OF
confidence IN the integrity OF the Turks as from
the inferior character OF the Turkish postal service
some years ago.
II is possible for any foreign citizen in Constanti-
nople 10 receive his malls directly upon appHca-
ton 10 the postoffice at his embassy The privilege
is not limited to embassy attaches or official mail
and this fact long has been a matter of discomfort
for the Turks, who. having sought improve their
own postal service by placing 1t under the direction
OF GeSinah experts. feel that they have right TO
get rid or these foreign offices. which, they aege
make smuggling easy.
The United States Government, not having a post
once or It's own. always has made OF the IA
clltles OF the French, Austrian and British postal
establishments In Constantinople.

MANY TELEGRAPH POLES BURNED.
HUNDRED THOUSAND. WORTH $4,000 SWEPT
AWAY IN DETROIT SUBURBAN FIRE.

Detroit, May 12-Fanned by thirty-fve miles an
hour wind fire this afternoon swept the west bank
of the Rouge River. in Delray a suburb 10 the
south Of Detroit for three-quarters of mile. and
destroyed more than $4,000 worth OF property.
The following the losses: Salliotte & Furgason,

stock of lumber, si5cOO insurance $500; the West

The fire originated shortly after / O'Clock the
roof OF the Sallotte & F'urgason lumber mill. The
mill had not been running FOR several months and
the roof dry as finder. The building was
in ashes. and the fire swept across wharf To
where dredge No 5 OF the Carkn Stckney & Cram
feet Of dredEez was tied up. Despite efforts TO
her this craft was burned the waters edge.
Great embers were picked up by the wind and
dropped on the roof % Brownlee & Co.'S mill and
salt block and both these buildings were destroyed
Delray has a mall Fire Department, and call
for help sent TO the Detroit department, which
responded with three engines and the freboat Bat
tie. Even the great streams from the hreboat were
pOwerless 20 check the flames, which were rolling
down the river bank for hundreds OF feet.
From the Brown!e4 property the fire jumped over
into the large yard which the Western Union Tele-
graph Company used a storage point for their
ceoar teIeGraph potes Inc yarH Is the alS'Ilou'-
ing point for ten states, and over 10000 poles
were stored there. The fire swept through the
yard, which comprises about eight acres, in less
than hours but the poles blazed until far into
the night The streams from the fire boat Battle
were centred on this yard but they had no effect
in staying the flames. The four inch streams were
turned into steam almost before they reached the
burning piles OF poles.
The plant OF the Maltby Lumber Company was
the last the river bank and II was soon
destroyed together with a large stock Of cedar
poles stored in the yard.
When darkness fell the glare from the burning
poles Illuminated the sky for miles. The fremen
worked on the fire almost all night. but IL
only 10 keep II from spreading 70 other property,
for they realized that IL would simply have 10 burn
itself out in the Western Union storage yards.
While the fire burning the lumber yard OF
G.. A. Raupp & Co. in Ecpurse, about mile from
Delray, set fire by sparks from a passing
engine and 10000 feet of lumber destroyed.

THE CArsKILL WATER SUPPLY.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: As frequent visitor to the CatskiHs I am
interested and amused at the proposition to ap-
propriate the water of that region for the use of
NeW-York. The proposition is absurd on account
Of the financial waste involved. and appears TO have
been stated solely for the purpose providing en-
ployment for photographic commission"
Leave the Catsks alone for the water supply
there is barely sufficient for the rapidly increasing
summer population OF that district. For the last
two or three summers, every stream on the east
ern slope has practically dried up, and there GER
tainly is no surplus water there for any other
community. AS every familiar with the to-
biography knows. the principal streams OF the
Catsklll region lie on the western watershed, and
hence are not available for New-York. These in
cIude SUCH streams as the branches of the Della
ware and Neversink and the BeaverknL On this
sloe: where the water supply is limited New
YORK could only be supplied By impoundng the
surface water during spring and fall freshets The
cost or such work, coupled with the enormous ex-
pense Of aqueducts. would alone be prohibitive A
comparatively small portion Of the money would
be far better expended in increasing the reservoir
capacity or the Croton watershed which IS already
connected with the city Of New-York.
