LETTER CARRIERS.
Eighteen Thousand of Them Are Em.
ployed In Our Cities - Rural Free
Delivery 10 be Extended.

Washington. Nov. S.-The annual
gross cost of a complete rural free
delivery service throughout the Uni
ted States will approximate $24,00O,-
600, according to the annual report
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne has received from August w.
Machen, general superintendent of
the service. The remaining 100000
square miles rot now covered by
rural free delivery service will re-
Quire the employment of 26,OOO or
$4,000 carriers in addition to those
now employed, making the entire
number of carriers when the extern
sion of the service is completed with
in the next three years 10000.
To extend the service $4,000 routes
a year until it becomes universal, the
report says, will require such largely
increased appropriations that the an
nual postage deficits for the ensuing
two or three years wal probably
reach $S,OOO,OOO or $1O,0OO,000, if not
more; but once the service is COM
pleted the additional revenue de-
rived will soon reduce the deficits
to present figures, if not entirely
Wipe lHtun OuJ.
During the year 1902, 12,403 petit
tions for the service were filed, max
ing a total on July /, last, of 22,64G,
which exceeded by over 1000 the to-
tai number during the preceding four
years. Since July petitions received
have averaged over 600 a month. With
the amount required for routes to be-
gin December l, the entire appropri-
alton has been absorbed, leaving on
December l fully 1,700 routes for
which there is no appropriation avail
able This number probably will be
increased by January 1 to at least
$500.
Mr.. Wynne and Mr.. Machen say
that to comply with the demands of
the people and of members of con-
gress the department will require an
additional appropriation, otherwise
further establishment of the service
will he deferred until July l next. If
the additional funds are granted
$1,000 rural free delivery letter car
rers will be in active service by
May /.
On July / the city free delivery
service embraced 933 cities, including
four in the insular possessions, and
the total number of uniformed letter
carriers in the city service was H.
7S5 1t is estimated that free delivery
will be extended to - offices during
the current year.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-Estimates
from more than half the counties in
Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia
and Allegheny county show gains for
the democratic state ticket. These
gains are offset, however, by heavy
republican gains in Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. The returns Indicate a re-
publican plurality IN the state of
from 10000 to 10000, of when Phil
adelphia contributes over 100000 and
Pittsburg from 10000 to 10000.

cite region was not as heavy as had
been anticipated.

MICHIGAN.

Detroit, Nov. 5.-The republicans of
Michigan have elected Gov. \. Z. Bliss
and the entire state ticket, II of the
~ congressman and an overwhelming
majority of the members OF the legis-
lature. The vote was light through
out the state and the republican ma
jority is estimated at between 10000
and 10000,
While the returns indicate that the
democrats have increased by a few
members their representation in the
state legislature, the republicans will
have an overwhelming majority in
both branches. This assures the cleo
tion of Gen. II. \. Alger to fill the
unexpired term of the late United
States Senator James Mcmillan.
Detroit, Nov. 6.-Newspaper tabu-
lations of election returns indicate
that the plurality Of Coy. Bliss will
run up TO 3G.975. That Bliss was
ruthlessly cut is shown by the fact
that the plurality of Judge W. J.. Car
penter, republican candidate for JUS
tice of the supreme court, amounts
to j9,s1G.

GEN. CORBIN'S REPORT.
1t Contains Interesting Statistics Ts %
gnrding the ArmY-O5solete Arms
Ehe


The Canteen.
Washington, Nov. S.-The annual
report of Gen. Henry c. Corbin, aGju-
tant general of the army, deals with
every feature of the army, and begins
with statement showing how the
army is to be reduced, by December
l, to 60,020 men, of which 2,S77 belong
to the staff department.
The report shows that during the
fiscal year there were 35 officers killed
in action or died of wounds and dis
ease, p resigned and IS retired OF
the enlisted men 1927 were killed or
died of wounds and disease, 35,sOG
were discharged on the expiration of
service, 5,69S were discharged for dis
ability or dismissed by order of court
martial, 4,667 deserted, two were
missing and 2O3 retired.
The adjutant general has obtained
the number and kind of arms in the
hands of the national guard in the
several states and finds less than
1000 United Sta es magazine rifles in
their possessi' n. OF the multitude
of other type he says: "This hetero-
geneous collection of obsolete arms
ficiency of the entire national guard,
which, in organization, drill, instruc-
tion, etc, assimilates closely to the
regular army, and should be armed
with the same arms as the latter. If
called into service under this deplor-
able condition, much trouble and veX-
atious delays are involved in provid-
ing the different kinds of ammunition
required and in urgent or unforeseen
contingencies may lead to disastrous
results"
Gen. Corbin in calling attention to
his former recommendation that the
rank and pay of military attaches
abroad should be increased, suggests
that retired officers of higA rank
might be selected for this service.
While the number of attaches have
been decreased the service has i'm
proved because of the reciprocal rela-
tiOns that have been esta blished with
the war departments of the several
governments where officers are sta
toned lie cites the two cases where
the military attache at Paris secured
the model of the Lebel rife and the
French saddle from the French gov
ernment.
General Corbin has the following
to say regarding the canteen: The
restoration Of the exchange as it ex-
listed prior to the passage of the act
of February 2, 1901, prohibiting the
sale of beer, is desired and urged by
the great majority of officers and men
and by none more than those of pro-
nounced temperance views. Numer-
Gus reports confirm the view that the
old exchange contributed to the So
briefly, health and contentment Of the
men. The increase of desertions and
of trials for infractions of discipline
is, by those best informed, attributed
to the abolition of the former privi-
leges Of the exchange"
