Large Output of Coal.

WILKESBARRE Pa, Nov. 3.-Although
the various coal companies are not pre-
pared to give figures. it is known that the
output of coal in the anthracite region to-
day was larger than any day since the
collieries resumed operations eleven days
ago. The volume of coal going to other
than home markets Is also larger. Last
week local dealers in the coal towns would
not accept orders for immediate delivery.
Orders were booked three and four days
ahead. Now the home consumers of hard
coal are pretty we'll supplied and this al
lows a heavier tonnage to go to other
markets.

PARCELS POST SERVICE.
Recommendations of Assistant Post
master General ShaIlenherger.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The annual re-
port of William S. Shallenberger. assistant
postmaster general, commends parcels post
conventions with various European govern
ments and a test. with other countries, of
a universal postage stamp plan.
Concerning parcels post he says 1.-The
average weight of parcels dispatched from
this country 10 all countries only slightly
exceeds three and one-half pounds The
average weight OF parcels dispatched from
this country TO Germany is two and two
thirds pounds. The domestic postal service
OF this country does not permit the intro
duction of parcels heavier than four pounds
in weight; therefore. I'm view of the fact
that four pounds, as limit of weight. will
fairly meet the requirements of this coun-
try. recommend the tender of parcels post
conventions with England. France. Italy
and other countries OF Europe similar to
that now in force between this country and
Germany, with the exception that the
weight of parcels be limited TO four pounds
and further recommend that six months
notice be given TO Germany for the desire
OF this country TO modify the existing con-
ventions TO reduce the weight OF par
GELS from eleven 70 four pounds. II
promptly negotiated, these conventions with
other countries OF Europe might have a
years test in practical operation before
the universal congress convenes In Rome
sn 1904 al which time the delegates from
this country would be prepared TO discuss
the subject more intelligently.
Mr.. ShaIlenberger recommends agreement
with some European governments on a uni
versai postage stamp scheme In advance
OF the postal congress in Rome in 1904. His
plan requires that every letter shall have
upon il the stamp OF the country in which
IL Is mailed. and yet stamp that may be
conveniently paid for in the country which
has invited the reply.

port of Binger Hermann, commissioner of

acres were sold for cash, 17,614792 acres
were embraced in miscellaneous entries and
the remainder were Indian lands.
Commissioner Hermann recommends a

sums of money for power plants, ETC.,
should be protected against subsequent
settlers. and a large appropriation to pro-
vide for an increased number Of special
agents to prevent timber depredatons and
to protect public lands from unlawful entry.
The report also renews previous recon-
mendations for compulsory attendance of
witnesses in hearings before district land
offices; for repeal of existing laws regard
ing timber on the unreserved public lands
and substitution therefor of a general law
providing ample protection for the forests
and furnishing means by which monopolies
settlers, miners and others may secure a
sufficient supply of timber for their legiti-
mate needs; legislation to protect game and
fish in forest reserves; extension of the
boundaries of Yellowstone National Park
and legislation giving the President general
authority to set apart as national parks
public lands and tracts having scientific
historic interest, or containing springs of
medicinal properties. 1t Is urged also that
