4 GREAT SUCCESS
Uncle Sam Finds 1t Does
Not Operate Equally.
Negotiations With England Not Likely
to Be Soon Consummated-Ar-
rangement With Germany.

LONDON, June 10.-Replying to a
question in the House of Commons, the
secretary of the treasury announced
that negotiations, having for their OBJ
ject the establishment of parcels post
between England and the United States,
have been for some time in progress,
but no statment as to their final result
can as yet be made.
Mr.. Shallenberger. Second Assistant
Postmaster General says regarding
the establishment of a parcels post
between England and this country, that
negotiations looking toward the con-
summation of the proposed service have
been going on for years, and that the
late Lord Pauncofote on several occa-
sions had called at the Postoffice De-
partment in reference to the matter.
General Shallen5erger said that it did
not seem advisable TO establish addi-
tional parcels post services with for
eign countries at present, inasmuch as
the service which had been established,
and which is the only one in existence,
had proved itself to be against the ad-
vantage OF the United States
Germany" said General Shallen-
berger. sends more parcels to this
country than We send to Germany.
We carry German parcels to all parts
of the United States territory at con-
vention rates, and Germany does the
same with our parcels. Our territory
being of such vast extent and the Ger
man empire, in comparison, being SO
small, leaves the advantage of the for
eign parcels post convention entirely
with Germany.
THE service with Germany is an ex-
pertinent and was established with that
country because ii appears to have the
best facilities for the transmission If
parcels on its transatlantic mail
steamers and government railroads.
81 do not think that the Government
deems 1t advisable at present to extend
the foreign parcels mail service.

VIII Not Withhold Salary.

In many cases the departments are
asked to retain from the salary of the
debtor the amount due the creditor Very
often the collection firm sends letters TO
the debtor in which they threaten the
latter. saying they are instructed by
their clients to take the matter UP with
the department unless arrangements
are made TO settle the amount" etc.
In answer to these threats the chief
clerk of one OF the departments said
yesterday that the Government could
not be bothered with the collecting or
attaching of money due to its employees.
THE salary of Government employe

ing Mrs. Trauger again took the stand
and underwent cross-eXamination at
the hands of Attorney Joseph OBrien.

confession to her husband she has now
no recollection of 1t. She also said she
had no remembrance of having written
a letter to her husband admitting her
guilt and asking for forgiveness. The

DR.. j. X. Bentley was the next wit

many years and during that time had
never called upon her more than two
or three times socially. He had never

wanted sum of money to drop the
matter. DR.. Bentley said he refused to
pay and the divorce suit was instituted.
