"A POSTAL REPORT.
Gen. Wynns Declares $I7,6s5,Soo
for Free Delivery Reasonable.
RECEIVING AID REGISTERING NAIL.
The Power Of Rural Carriers to Do 30 Of
Great Public Bsneft-A Rscomuends-
tion That Carriers BE Allowed TO
Pay Money Orders.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report Of Robert J. Wynne, first as
sistant postmaster general, urges
that in view Of the success of the
rural free delivery establishment and
its future necessities, the recon-
mendation for $12,e55,SO0 in the esti-
mates for that purpose is reasonable.
The amount is an increase of a little
more than 100000 over the current
fiscal year. To correct what the re-
port considers the injustice of COM
pelling q postmaster to pay part of
his salary for clerk hire, Mr.. Wynne
urges legislation authorizing the post
Office department to make allowances
for clerk hire at third-class post
offices when 1t is satisfactorily shown
that the postmaster, by devoting his
time and attention to the Office, is
unable to transact the post office
business. The advisability of erecting
public buildings for the establish
ments of branch post offices in cities
is discussed and the plan is Endorsed
as economical to the government.
The rural free delivery system, the
report says, has become a permanent
feature of the postal service and the
service has increased the postal re-
ceipts and improved conditions wher-
ever it has been put in operation.
No deficiency, it is said, will be Gre
ated by this service. 1t will be left
to congress to say whether establish
ment of routes already laid out shall
be fastened and the installation OF
routes in course of investigation ex-
pedited Additional appropriations
must be made for this purpose.
Extension to rural carriers Of
power to receive and register letters
has proved so acceptable public
benefit that it is purposed further to
increase the usefulness by adding,
under proper regulations, an extern
sion of the money order system to
rural routes. Rural carriers are now
empowered to receipt for money or
ders. 1t is intended, after the LIST of
January next, to empower them also
to pay money orders at the resi-
dences of known patrons of the
routes. The maximum fee for a
money order ($1OO) is 80 cents. 1t is
recommended that the maximum be
reduced to rs cents with proportion
ate reductions wherever the amount
exceeds $50.

Merchants Clamoring for Small Coins.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE mer-
chants of the nation are clamoring
for small change. The Christmas
trade will be on in a few weeks and
the applications for small coins are
pouring in upon the country's sub
treasures. In his recommendations
for legislation affecting the mints OF

tai stock of subsidiary coin is limit
ed to $1O0,00O,O00.

.IyD0RSE ROOSEVELT.
Friends Of the President Delighted
Over the Elections.
The RESULTS SHOW HIS STRENGTH.


Washington, Nov. 10-Friends Of
President Roosevelt are delighted
over the result Of the elections. They
seem to regard the success of the
republicans in electing majority
OF the house as personal triumph
for the president and assert with
much positiveness that Mr.. Roose-
welt is now the logical candidate for
the republican nomination in 1904
and that no other republican will be
considered when the national conven-
ton is held. The presidents sup
porters have been anxious over re-
ports that the men of Wall street,
headed by Mr.. Morgan, would organ
lie q movement for the nomination
Of Senator Hanna or some other re-
publican known to be more in SYM
pathy with the great organizations Of
capital than Mr.. Roosevelt has shown
himself to be. For that reason they
were anxious for some expression
from the country as to its sentiments
regarding the president and his poll
cies.
The campaign made by the demo-
Gratis was antagonistic TO the admin.

for the express purpose of discredit-
ing it, The contest was recognized
by both sides as the preliminary
skirmish to the next campaign for

ayers admitted that their great OBJ
ject in striving for victory was to
obtain an advantage that would re-
suit in the election of a democratic
president two years from now. This
issue was clearly understood by the
republicans and the result Of the
election was obtained largely by OF.
fering the record of the admiistra-
ton for Endorsement.
In analysing the election returns
Mr.. Roosevelt's supporters have
reached the most encouraging con.
illusions. In their opinion the presi.
dent has received a good Endorsement
and one which indicates clearly his

Washington, Nov. l.-JuIlan H.
Bingham, collector Of internal rev.
enue for the district Of Alabama, has
been removed from his Office and Jo-
seph 0. Thompson appointed to sue
coed him. The change was made as a
result Of a political condition which
recently arose in Alabama. Colored
republicans were excluded from par
ticipation in the republican state con-
vention and Collector Bingham was
held responsible, at least in a meas
ure, for their exclusion.

the return Of the republican party to
power in all branches Of the govern
ment and partly by the personal
popularity Of President Roosevelt.
Although he is an eastern man, he is
claimed by the western states as one
Of their own, and in the campaign
just closed thousands of votes were
cast as Endorsements Of the presi-
dent and his administration, rather
than in support Of the republican
candidates whose names were on the
tickets.
In the newly-elected congress and
in future presidential and congress
sional elections the west will be a
more important factor than it ever
has been before, and it will have to
be taken into account in a greater
measure in framing party policies
and naming candidates.

NEW BRIDGE BURNED
The East River Structure At New
York Damaged 100000.
THREE NEB HURLED INTO The RIVER
All the Timber False Work Burned Away
and Million Fest Of Blazing Lum.
Dor Sent Hissing Into
the River,

New York, Nov. 1.-THE new East
river bridge, in process Of construc-
ton between New York and Brook
lyn, was damaged to the amount OF
at least 100000 last night by fire
that for four hours ragged 355 feet
in the air, on.the summit Of the great
steel tower on the New York side.
Three men who were at work on the
top Of the tower when the fire broke
out fell into the river, but escaped
with their lives. Owing to the enor-
nous height Of the tower 1t was i'm
possible to reach the fire with any
apparatus in the fire department,
and the flames, after devouring all
the wood work on the top Of the
tower, seized on the timber false
work of the two foot bridges sus-
pended from the main cables, burn
ing away the supports until nearly
100000 feet Of blazing lumber fell
with a mighty splash and hiss into
the stream. The fall OF the foot
bridge carried away scores OF the
lighter cables and guys, which trailed
in the water, rendering it necessary
to stop all traffic up and down the
river.
The fire was the most spectacular
conhagratlon that has ever been seen
in New York. II started in q tool
shed and from this spread to the
great timber frame work. Within
five minutes after the discovery Of
the fire the whole top Of the tower
was in blaze. Then the foot bridges
fell, carrying with them many tons
of bolts, rivets, nuts and tools. At
that moment the Brooklyn freboat
was just below the bridge and q
heavy steel beam fell on her, break
ing her rudder and sending her drift
ing helpless down the stream.
While the fire was at its height q
party of firemen were cut of at the
base of the tower, where they were
exposed to q torrent Of brands and
red-hot pieces Of steel. They were
rescued after several had been Sc
verely burned.
Brands from the tower set fire to
the big store house Of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel company on the bridge.
1t was entirely consumed and the
contents were hurled into the river,
together with two hosting derricks
on the platform. 1t was II o'clock
before the flames had devoured every
thing combustible, leaving only the
steel tower and the four great 1917
inch steel cables stretching across
the river. These cables were recently
completed, save for the steel sheath
ing, and II is feared that they have
been badly damaged by the intense
heat. Should it be necessary to re-
place them, the labor of two years
would be lost.
