A tribute Is paid to the postal service,

ment should be sustained, the president
says, In Ito efforts to remove the abuses

The president concludes bis message as
follows:
The death Of Queen Victoria caused
the people Of the United States deep
and heartfelt sorrow, to which the gov.
eminent gave full expression. When
President Mckinley died, our nation IN
turn received from every quarter of the
British empire expressions of grief and
sympathy no less sincere. The death
of the Empress Dowager Frederick Of
Germany also aroused the genuine sym.
pathy Of the American people, and this
sympathy was cordially reciprocated
by Germany when the president was
assassinated. Indeed, from every quar-.
ter Of the civilized world we received
at the time of the presidents death as.
surances Of such grief and regard as to
touch the hearts Of our people. La the
midst OF our afiaictton ", reverently
thaah the Almighty that we are at
pace with the nations Of mankind,
and we firmly intend that our policy
shall be such as to continue unbroken
/. these International relations Of mutual
respect and good win.

said, was wealthy and prominent
there. When arrested, Pinehurst had
o roll of bills in each hand and sew

hands. He looked so boyish that the
police took him in charge. Messenger

San Francisco Merchants Will Reap a
Harvest In Hawaii.


San Francisco March 22.-The EXAM
liner says:
Eastern competition in the trade or
Hawaii through San Francisco is to be
shut off. temporarily at least. For years
the Southern Pacific has made low rail
and water rate from Chicago and other
eastern cities to Honolulu. the rail end
and through rate being much lower than
that charged merchants of this city.
say. from Chicago to San Francisco on
the same class of business and the water
end of the rate much lower than the
regular water rate charged local mer-
chants to Honolulu.
The Southern Pacific has decided 10
abolish the low through rate. Hereafter
the Chicago or ST. Louis merchants ship
ring goods TO Hawaii will be charged the
regular rail rate to this city. plus the
usual water rate to the islands. The
company has issued notice to this eff
feet. Under this new arrangement local
merchants believe they can command
the bulk of the trade in Hawaii in spite
of the competition of Puget Sound and
New York. They are not apprehensive
that the eastern people will get better
transportation terms by way of San
Diego. Portland, Tacoma or Seattle and
thus hold their own as against this city.
The railroad people are not so confident
and therefore they look upon the new
arrangement as experimental.

Alterations continue here between the

Seant. The discipline Of the French
forces leaves much to be desired. While
the French officers are evidently doing
their best to maintain discipline, 1t
would not surprise anyone to see the
French troops get beyond control at any
moment. Already have been heard
French soldiers kissing their own officers
and it is reported that some French Off
GERS have been stoned in a mysterious
manner by missiles coming from un-
traceable quarters. Contingents of Cos
sacks are continually dribbling in and
the Russians now have five hundred
men more here than they had a day pre-
ViouS. On the other hand it is reported
and believed here that the British fleet
is collecting at Wei Hal Wei for the pur-
pose of making a naval demonstration
against Port Arthur. Contrary to eX-
pectationS. the days have passed with
out serious conflict. The Russians. with
the help of between 5000 and 1000 cool
les. are building a road along the river
in front of their concession. They have
now reached a point within 50 yards of
proceeding rapidly. The British ad-
vanced lines between so and 40 feet from
the bank ard there would not be room
for the road to be constructed without
disturbing the ground upon which the
British picket is stationed. Gen. Camp
bell informed the Russians. however,
that he would regard as an act of ag
sression any attempt of the road build
ers to disturb the sidetrack or under
mine the positions of the British SEN
tries. 1t is understood here that Gen.
Campbell will make no reply to the Rus
sian demand for withdrawal and
apology. The New South Wales naval
brigade is here from Pekin for the pur
pose of reinforcing the Victorian con-
tingent in guarding the British settle
ment. The presence of these troops and
the arrival of marines from Taku has
had a reassuring effect upon the COM
| munity. A plan to bear on the settle
ment has been arranged but has not
yet been carried out.
Tuesday morning the working parties
stopped work on the river side of the
road when they reached point within
20 feet of the British position. They
resumed the construction of the road
at point 400 yards further The danger
of actual conflict has thus been obviated
for the present. 7'st'

New York, March 22.-At a hearing
before the committee on streets and rail-
roads of the board of aldermen. held in
the Brooklyn borough hall last night.
Tom l.. Johnson offered to become
tenant of the Brooklyn tunnel and re-
duce the time of travel between the
Battery and Richmond borough to Is
minutes, besides establishing a three
cent fare if the tunnel were built as he
wished it.
Mr.. Johnson said in part: tfoa
Il am willing to consider any rea-
sonable proposition that may be offered
by the Rapid Transit commission if they
include in it's proposed route one which
will lead through South Brooklyn as
near Second avenue as possible, (being
governed entirely by the cost of con-
struction). and ending on the Staten
Island side of the Narrows.
If the commission will submit such
plan. l will bring before it SUCH a
proposition worthy of their considera ton.
To meet the debt limit objection l will
say that if the commission will pre-
pare such plan and it shows the nee
essitieS will be in excess of the debt
limit, am capable of bringing sufficient
credit to make up the deficiency"

means of ending the war. on the express
understanding that he would not discuss
the question of the Independence of the
Transvaal ana the Orange River colony.

his generals and it was stated that the

reports long interview with General
Botha, who showed a very good feeling
and seemed anxious for peace. He asked
for further informa ton, which he saii
he would submit to his government and
generals. If, they add, he would visit
the Orange River colony and get them
to agree, and should all then hand in
their arms, it would finish the war. He
said they could go on for some time and
he was not sure he would be able to
bring about peace without independ-
ence.

Experiment With the Product of the
Beaumont Gusher.

New York, March pa shipment of
5000 barrels of crude oil from the new
Texas oil fields has arrived in port on
the tank stea mer Atlas, consigned to the
Standard Oil company. This shipment

vessel left Sabine Pass on March II and
went to Havana. where it picked up the
company's barge No. IS. which has
cargo of molasses. The barge was
dropped at Delaware breakwater and
vas lowed to Philadelphia. There are
only two tank steamers, the Atlas AMI

Oil company under the American flag,
