RETURN POSTAL CARDS.
Recommendations to Be Made to the
Postmaster General

The commission consisting of the four as
sistant postmasters general, appointed bv
Postmaster General Payne to consider the
question of the establishment of return
postal card system with postage 10 be pa id
upon the return of the card, has concluded
its labors and will soon unite upon a report
favorable to the plan. Whether the expert
ment shall be tried will then depend upon
the decision Of the Postmaster General
The commission will recommend that two
different systems be tried. one recurring
that all the return postal card business of
each city shall be done through a corpora
ton and the other providing for direct deal
ing between the government and the firms
sending out the cards. The commission
suggests that each of the plans be tried in
six cities in order that there may be a
thorough test. Business houses which do
large advertising and order business are
urging the experiment. Their representa-
tives claim that the postal revenues could
be largely augmented by the adoption of
any return card system permitting pay
ment of postage after delivery.
1t is understood, however that Postmast-
er General Payne is not entirely clear as to
his right under the law to enter upon the
experiment, SO that the proba abilities are not
entirely favorable to early action upon the
report of the commission.

Positive Statement Of the British

LONDON. July 10.-The bulletin on King

A DELICATE PROPOSITION.
The Proposed Interference in Greene
Gaynor Extradition Case.

The application of the Department of JUS
tice to the State Department for its aid in
securing the eXtradtion of Gaynor and
Greene has not yet reached Secretary Hay.
Therefore, IN View of the fact that the
State Department has not been called upon
SO far to consider the character of the legal
proceedings in this case in Canada, ii is
not possible for the department at this
stage to venture an opinion as to the pro-
priety of the action requested by the De-
partment of Justice. 1t is said at the State
Department that very delicate proposition
is involved in the projected interference in
this case, while judicial proceedings are
still running in Canada, and it must be
made clear that there has already been a
denial of justice before the case could be
taken up automatically.

REPLY OF THE VATICAN.
Secretary Root Will Take a Copy to
the President.

A cablegram has been received at the
War Department from Gov. Taft, trans
mitting the reply of the Vatican to the pro-
posals of the United States government
Secretary Root did not get the message
until late in the forenoon as it had to be
translated from cipher and he has not yet
considered the subject. The abstract ca
bled last night from Rome contains all the
essential features OF the reply.
Secretary Root will take a copy of The
reply of the Vatican to Gov. Taft's pro
posal in regard to the Philippine friars TO
Oyster Bay and submit it to the President
before making any definite reply. The Sec
retary will not discuss the subject in lis
present state further than TO say that II is
a plain business proposition. and that tlle
negotiations are based entirely upon the
instructions which were given to Gov. Taft
before his departure to Rome. In those IN
structions regarding the removal of the
friarS the Secretary said: 1T is not, how
ever, deemed to be for the interests of the
people of the Philippine Islands that IN
thus Transforming wholly unproductive
tracts of land into money capable OF poo
ductive invest ment, a fund should thereby
be created to be used for the attempted
restoration of the friars to the parishes
from which they are now separated, with
the consequent disturbance Of law atld
order
That particular feature of the instructions
is considered important in view of the
differences reported from Rome, and it is
understood the Secretary'S instructions VIII
be adhered to in the negotiations with the
Vatican. The removal of the Spanish fridrs
is the main object of the negotiations. and
it is believed that the contention of the
Vatican that it cannot order the friar.i
away because of the Paris treaty is not
well founded, as the Vatican was not
party 10 the treaty. 1t is claimed that any
action it might take regarding the subordi-
nation of the church in the Philippines
would be matter of church polity and not
necessarily have any bearing upon the re-
lations between the United States and
Spain, as defined in the treaty of Paris.

Hay to intervene in its interest in the tri-
angular contest between Bolivia, Peru and
Brazil for possession of the territory Of
Acre which lies at the point where the
three countries named touch. The ques-
tion is a complicated one, involving the
rights of a powerful syndicate composed of
a number of wealthy Americans and in
fluential Germans and Englishmen, and the
State Department has already declined to
interfere. However Secretary Hay listened
to the representations of the Bolivian min
lister today, and promised to lay the mat
ter before the President.
