Some idea of the tremendous growth Of
the postal service of this country can be-
gained from the fact that the department
will require nearly 1000, 100000 postal
cards during the next four years, or O.
billion cards a year. This, of course, is.
in addition to the million of letters mailed
annually. The other day the department.
opened bids for 5000. 600, 900 single postal
cards, large size; 100000 double postal
cards, and 100000 single cards, small
size. Albert Daggett, the present con-
tractor, was the lowest bidder, his bid for
the three classes of cards being 21.73'
cents, 40 cents and 1850 cents per thou.
sand. These are the lowest bids ever re-
ceived by the department. During the.
last fifteen years there has been q decid-
ed reduction in the price paid for postal
cards. In 1855 40 cents per thousand
was paid for single cards, large size; in
1889 So cents, in 1893 1925 cents, in
1897 1885 cents, and this year 2l.75.

Prince Ching to impose a head tax on all

Prince Ching's plan. as submitted to
the court, is to send commissioners to all
Chinese residents, claiming that, as they
do not become citizens of other countries,
they should assist in paying the indemn--
fty. Prince Chings project has created
considerable dissatisfaction in the south

is liable to result in serious disturbances.

morning they saw two men come out Of
q small back alley running from Twenty
fourth to Twenty-fifth streets, between

The men walked in the direction of the
officers, but upon observing them they
turned and ran up Bartlett street to
Guerrero and into a vacant lot. They
jumped the fence and disappeared. Ser

fired several shots at the taller of the
two TO intimidate them.
A thorough search of the neighborhood
