IRONTON. MO. SEPTEMBER 4

1t is reported from Washington that
one of the most important innovations
in the postal service in recent years is
now under consideration by the post
office authorities. The proposed SER
vice is known as the return envelope
and postal card system. At present
any one sending out lot of circulars,
inclosing an addressed postal card,
has to pay $40 a thousand for the
postals and the cost of printing, and
statistics show that the returns rarely
exceed 10 per cent. Under the new
system it is proposed to authorize the
use Of special form OF envelope and
postal card, which are to be sold at a
reasonable price per thousand. They
will bear stamp designed to show
that they can be dropped in the mail
and carried to their destination, where
the postage will be paid by the ad-
dressee before delivery.

A Manila cablegram, dated Septem-
ber 9th, says: "The column OF troops
which Brigadier General Samuel S.
Sumner, commanding the department
OF Mindanao, is to lead against the
Macin Moros will probably leave Camp
Vicar at the end of this week. 1t will
consist OF portions of the 18th and 9th
infantry, two troops of the 18th cavalry
and mountain battery, about 100
men in all. Serious opposition is not
expected by the military authorities.
1t is believed the plan is to segregate
the hostiles and friendlies and keep
the latter neutral. 1t is expected that
the Macin movement will be followed
by an expedition against the sultan Of
Bacolod and Negros island if he con-
tinues hostile"

Strong Disposition Among RepubIica,
Senator's.

There is strong disposition among some
republican senator's to amend the Philip
pines tariff bin as it came from the House
Pressure will be brought to bear in behalf
Of such action, and the probabilities are
that the bill will ultimately have to be
shaped in a conference committee between
the two houses.
The argument made in favor Of amending
the bill is that as the measure now stands
1t would discriminate against Philippines
products coming to this country. The Fill
pino producers will not only have their
products subjected to the tax of the Ding
ley BILL out In addition will have to bear
an additional burden in the export tax
placed upon the articles before they leave
the islands. Heavy freight rates and a
long haul are other disadvantages keenly
felt when the products are competing with
Cuba and the West Indies.
The duty on hemp under the Dingley bill
is $40 ton. The Taft commissions tariff
bill places an export tax of $3.50 a ton on
hemp shipped from the Philippines. There
is an export tax of SO ton on tobacco, and
taxes on indigo, cocoanuts and other pro-
ducts of the island, all of which enhance
the price of the products in addition to the
customs duties.
1t is claimed that the Philippines cannot
compete with Cuba with her tobacco or su-
gar and that in these two staples she will
be at heavy disadvantage when compared
with many tropical countries that now find
the United States profitable market
The proposition to be made i'm the Sem
ate Is to grant concessions from the tariff
rates on articles paying an export tax so
that the total Of the export tax and the
customs dues will be equivalent to the reg
ular Dngley rates.
The subject was thoroughly discussed in
the ways and means committee where an
effort was made to abolish the export tax.
The question of the "open door in the
orient came up. and the decision of the
committee was to make no concession The
open-door proposition will also be consid-
cred by the Senate, and if the broad prin-
ciple of that commercial doctrine can be
maintained the outlook is said to be very
favorable to amending the bill in the man.

BIG DEAL IN COAL LANDS,
Steel Trust Lease Enough for Thirty
Years SuDDly.

NEW YORK, January 2-Judge E. H.
Gary of the United States Steel Corporation
announced today that the properties here
tofore secured by the managers of the .Po-
cahontas coal syndicate, consisting of
about 100000 acres Of fuel and coking coal.
had been sold to the Pocahontas Coal and
Coke Company, which is controlled by the
Norfolk and Western Railway Company
and that $4,000 acres of these lands had
been leased on royalty basis to compa-
nies whose capital stock is owned or con-
trolled by the United States Steel Corpo-
ration.
Judge Gary said that within the compar-
atively near future there would be con-
structed at least 5000 of the most modern
coke ovens, with capacity of at least L.
oOO,OOO tons of coke, together with neces-
sary railroads, tipples. water works, cleo
trio plants, power plants residences stores
and other Improvements.
The companies controlled by the United
States Steel Corporation by this lease Sc
cured sufficient coal to provide, on the
present basis of consumption, for about
thirty years. This. with the Connellsyille
coal now owned by the company, should
furnish the necessary supply of coke for
upward of sixty years, thus corresponding
with the iron ore supply.

GERMAN COAL CONFINES
rrotests Against the High
Prices of the Product.

'One can hardly take up Berlin news

This statement IS made by United States
Consul General Mason at Berlin in re-
port TO the State Department, dated De-
cember 3. The paramount fact In the nub-
lie mind concerning the coal Situation
states Mr.. Mason, is that. MISUNDERSTANDING
the continued protests and present distress
of many German industries, their narrow
ing output and enforced discharge of work
n.en. the German coal syndicates have per-
sisted in maintaining practically the same
prices which they received for coal dur-
Ing the flush activity OF 1899 and 1900 ST.
lesian coal of ordinary quality il Is stated
now retails at Berlin coal yards at about
N.61 per metric ton of 1904 pounds. Or
dtnary Snesian steam coal costs In carload
lots $3.50 per ton. delivered in that CITY
Therefore. Mr. Mason points out, as the
river freight on coal from Hamburg to
Berlin is about ~ cents per ton, il would
Seem that IL American other foreign
soft coal can be landed at Hamburg for
any price approaching $3.50 per ton. there
ought TO be a chance for IL in the retain
market of the German capital.

MONEY FOR THE DISTRICT
DIFFERENT MEANS Of RAISING TT
DISCUSSED.
Conference at the Capitol i'm Regard
to Meeting Extraordinary Local
Expenditures.

There was a conference lasting nearly
three hours today in the room of the SEN
ate committee on the District of Columbia,
and it was taken part in by Senator Nc
MILAN and Representative Babcock chair
men OF the District committees of the Sem
ate and House, respectively; Commissioners
Macfarland, Ross and Biddle, Mr.. Theodore
w. Noyes and Gen. George h Harries.
During the conference most of the tmpor-
tant projected improvements for the Dis
trict. and especially the question of raising
money to meet extraordinary expenses,
were discussed The question as to wheth-
er the unusual expenses caused by the ne
cessity for completing the filtration plant,
the sewage system and other great inn
provementS should be met by loan from
the general government to the District. by
bond issue or by means of personal tax
was considered.
The opening of 10th street was discussed,
and Senator Mcmillan expressed himself
in favor Of the approval of the awards as
they now stand, in view of the great inn
portance Of this thoroughfare and because
of its character as very wide street, max
ing 1t different from other street-opening
propositions in the arrangement of benefits
and damages.
These awards amount nearly to $50 900,
and being made at this time, will add to
the difficulty in meeting expenditures with
out an arrangement for a loan in some
manner. All Of those present gave their
views on the subjects discussed, but no
definite conclusion of any kind was reached.
1t was not expected that any definite ar
rangement would result from the meeting,
it being called merely for the purpose Of
exchanging opinion
Senator Mcmillan will discuss these mat
ters with Senator Allison and Represen-
tative Cannon, chairman of the appropria-
tions committees of the Senate and House,
respectively, and a further conference to
be held in the Senate committee room will
be attended by those who were present to-
day, as well as others The fact that
Senator Allison will not return to this city
for a couple Of weeks. owing to the coming
senatorial election In his state, will re-
suit in postponing action on many of these
larger propositions.
The subcommittee of the House appro-
priattons committee, however, will take up
the District bill next Tuesday, and the Dis
trict Commissioners will appear before
them, as is customary. when their esti-
mates are being considered. 1t is likely
that the bill it passes the House will
merely provide for the regular expenses of
the District of Columbia, and will not in
clude some of the larger projects, such as
the filtration plant, sewerage system, etc.
These will be taken up before the Senate
appropriations committee, and they will
have to be considered in connection with
some plan for increasing the revenues of
the District.
