RUsES OF CORRESPONDENTS.
NEW YORK. June 2.-Some interest

words "Whitsuntide greetings"
When the dispatch arrived without
any official dispatch the first idea was
that the transmission of such mes

stration OF politeness.
A little reflection. however. seemed
to indicate the Significance of the par

sentiment was expressed.
The editor turned. however. to the

Beers: We shall now see n system
akin to the feudalism OF the middle |
ages giving way to a social structure |
with twentieth century con- |

Naturally for a few years the work /
OF reconstruction will be difficult. Not /
only must the Beers themselves be in /

but there Is also a large native popula-
