i President Mckinley has re-
warded Gen. Funston, OF Kansas
by commission in the regular
army of the United States as or1-
gadier general. 1t will be a very
popular act, as Funston has per-
formed great service to his conn-
try by the capture of Aguinal go.
All the advices from the Philip
pines state that his capture will
terminate the war, which has been
dragging on for over two years.
Such invaluable services deserve
reward, and President Mckinney
has responded to the wishes OF
people and his own clear ]udg-
ment. 3

that tv enty-four different per
sons, including the present executive,

RURAL DELIVERY CHECKED

Washington. May 9.-Computations
made today at the Postoffice Depart
ment show that the generous allowance
for rural free delivery during the next
fiscal yest-$3, 800, 900 is already
nearly expended. In consequence the
department must cease planning fur.
ther extensions OF the system until
either the appropriation for the fiscal
year beginning July I, 1902, shall be-
come available. or Congress shall vote
an increased allowance for the year
beginning next July. There are now
on file sufficient number OF applica.
tons to exhaust about $1,0OO,OOO more
than the appropriation.
The whole number of rural delivery
