PAUNCEFOTE'S BODY
TO REST AT STOKE
Remains of Late British Ambassador
to Be Inferred at Seat
of Bromley's.

The body of Lord Pauncefote. late am
bassador at Washington. upon its ar
rival in England Will be inferred at
Stoke, the seat of the Bromleys. instead
of at Preston, as was at first decided
upon.
Stoke is near Newark, in Nottingham
shire. 1t is the homo at present of Sir
Henry Bromley, who is a son-in-law OF
the late Ambassador.
The Bromleys are a branch OF the
Phuncefote family, and one Of the young
er Bromleys married daughter of Lord
Pauncefote. 1t is deemed desirable,
therefore, to have the body rest where
the friends and families are now located
rather than 70 be taken TO the old home
at Preston, from which the family have
been separated for some time.
The ancient burying place at Preston
has been closed on account of the mum
Der of bodies there. These considerations
have led to the decision to make the in
terment at Stoke. to which place the
body will be borne when the United
States cruiser Brooklyn arrives at an
English port.

Postmaster Merritt Talks
of Growth of
Local Mail.
SEPARATE BUILDING NEEDED
Present Structure Built for Local
Needs Now Overcrowded With Of
fcers and Clerks of the General De-
partment.

1.-THE phenomenal increase in the pos
tai business of the country within the
past few years has nowhere made itself
so felt as here in the city postofIice, "
remarked Postmaster Merritt yesterday
And it has strengthened me in my
conviction that what is needed is a
building of discity ard proportion to the
exclusive use of the reception and dis
tribution of mail for the National Capt.
tai.
Now, when the present postoffice
building was planned il was no doubt
considered by those in charge that the
building would be ample for all the
needs of the PostofIice Department and
the city postofiice for years to come.
But that was before the establishment
OF rural free delivery. which has grown
TO such an extent that we haven't room
for the force in the building and we
have to rent quarters. But if one will
evident TO him that the men who drew
the plans little dreamed of the great
growth OF the postal service of the
United States.
Inadequate for Demands.
This building, which is by far the
largest postoffice building in the coun-
try, is inadequate to the demands for
space made by the Postoffice Depart
ment and the city postof!ice The Post
office Department is uncomfortably
crowded, and We are gradually Icing
crowded until We experience considera-
Bile difficulty in finding space to handle
the mails with the facilities We should
have.
And even now quarters are rented to
accommodate the overfiowinC divisions
Of the postofflce. This should not be.
But we can do nothing without the aid
of Congress.
The Capial of the Nation should have
q city postofiice building devoted to the
exclusive and sole use for the recep-
ticn and distribution OF mail We han
die at this office, outside of New York
and Chicago. the largest number OF
pieces OF mail matter OF any office in the
country, but nearly 90 per cent 4 It is
official matter. However, that does not
lessen the amount of work required OF
the employees, nor the need of space to
properly handle the incoming and out
going mail.
Should Have Building.
"If we had building for the use of
the city postofIice, where only postofice
business proper was transacted, It
would greatly augment the work of the
Office. Then, too, we should have a
pneumatic tube service between such
buildings as the Capitol, the executive
departments, and the suburban stations.
suppose some time in the future Con-
gress will authorize these improvements.
l believe the question of new city
postofice will impress itself upon Con-
gress next winter and IL our national
lawmakers who are charged with this
responsibility would but look into the
question | am satisfied they will reach
the same conclusion /. e.. the time is
now here for new and exclusive house
for the nations city postoffice"

Without Fear or Favor.

II 1t shall be necessary to make a
large number OF removals to carry out
the Secrotary's policies, the removals
will be made without fear or favor.
There are at least two or three classes
OF minor Federal officials in New YORK
who come under the Secretary's deani-
tion of rightiul tenure of office. That IS.
ne holds that the great majority OF sub
orGiuatcs in the Treasury Department
service have passed their greatest use
fulness at the end OF four or five years.
The recent civil service order of Pres
ident Roosevelt, which held that the re-
moval o. a Federal officer in the classi-
fed service shall not necessarily be pre-
ceded by formal presentation Of proved
charges, is relied on to protect the Sec
retary in carrying cut a policy which he
believes is for the best interests OF the
Treasury administration.
The earliest important change to be
made In the Treasury will probably be
the appointment of successor to AS
sistant Secretary Spauldlng. It was
said on authority yesterday that this
change will be made as soon as a sati5-
factory succeseo. can be found By Secre-
tary Shaw for recommendation to the
President.
