TIL RIER

when presented to the department with
the approval of the congressional repre-
sentative OF the district or Of one of the
senators from the state in which the
service IL asked for, is investigated by
one Of the special agents in the field, who
transmits the papers, with a map of the
route or routes to be followed, to the
superintendent in Washington for his
adjudication.
Applicants for the position of rural cor
rier are subjected to a very simple exam
ination in respect to their qualifications
for the service and the esteem in which
they are held by the Inhabitants along
the routes they are to serve. The limits
OF age are from II to IS years, except in
the case Of physically competent veterans
Of the Civil war or the Spanish war.
The annual pay Of the rural carrier is
$500. payable monthly, out of which he
must provide his own horse and vehicle
The practice of wearing uniform is not
obligatory. but is generally followed.
Carriers are permitted to carry passen-
gers and unmailable packages for pay,
provided this does not interfere with the
proper handling Of mails. Under GER
tain restrictions also a carrier may act
as news agent and carrier for newspa-
pers. The carrier delivers and collects
mail all along the route, usually from
approved boxes provided by the patrons
along the roadside at such height that
he can reach them without alighting
from his vehicle. As a rule, the carrier
leaves the postoffice at which his work
begins az soon as possible after the ar
rival and distribution Of the principal
morning mail and returns in time to dis
patch his collection by the evening mail.
He cancels all letters collected by him,
mailing them In the postofice from
which his service originates unless they
require delivery en- route. He Is en-
powered to register and deliver regis
tered letters and to give receipts for
money orders. He carries a supply of
stamps for sale and is authorized to
afi1x the requisite postage to unstamped
letters and packages, provided the neces-
sary money is deposited in the roadside
box with the mail.
Each carrier must furnish bond for
$500 and furnish a substitute similarly
bonded, who will perform the duties
when the carrier Is disabled or absent.
The substitute receives the carriers pay.

The growth Of the rural free mail de-
livery In the last year has been a mar
vellous one. A striking comparison be-
tween the present year and 1901 is shown.
On March I, 1901, there had been 1891
routes established. By May 1. 1902, the
number had increased to S,45S. or 5,067
more than fourteen months previous.
The routes in operation on March, 1901,
with the increase by May, 1902 in several
of the western states are: Nebraska
from IS to 207, Kansas from 1877 to 40,
Colorado from rs to Al, South Dakota
from 21 to 50, Missouri from IS to 3S7,
Iowa from 292 to 77s, Illinois from 337 to
701, Wisconsin from 1877 to $50, Minne-
sofa from 120 to go. There were 9,904
petitions for new routes on file on May
1902.

DIED SLOW DEATH IN MINE.

to Their FamiIies-TOtal Dead at

Bodies Have Been Recovered.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 21.-The latest
estimates as to loss of life in the Fra
terville coal mine disaster at Coal Creek
is 226, including contract miners, day
laborers and boy helpers. Up to noon
to-day 141 bodies have been removed
from the mine. Not one has been re-
covered alive. Thirteen bodies were
found in an entry. Five of them had
written letters before life became eX-
tinct. One of these letters gave the
time of day it was written as 2:3)
o'clock Monday afternoon. thus indi-
eating that these and perhaps other
entombed men lived many hours after
the terrible explosion, which occurred
Monday morning at 1870 o'clock. The
letters gave a general suggestion of
the suffering that was undergone. in
dicating that the men were gradually
being strangled to death by he foul
gaseous air that was filling the mine.
One piteously read: MY God, for an
other breath"
The letters. in the main, were di-
rections to families as to what disp0si-
bodies and business affairs and in
structions as to raising the families.

Rescuers Are Exhausted.
The resculng parties that went in
Monday are completely exhausted and
new men were sent into the mines to-
day. Physicians positively forbade
any of the first rescuers returning.
They have been in contact with the
gaseous air for so long that they have
become weakened and it was feared
they could not survive the arduous
work. Many hardy miners from other
sections are here, and from these the
rescuing parties were made up to-day

gan consideration of the immigra ton
bill to-day. The principal speech was
made by Mr.. Shattuc of Ohio, chair
man of the Committee on Immigra-
ton. He was especially severe in his
condemnation, of the manner in which
immigrants are introduced through
Canada and by Canadian railway and
steamship companies Mr.. Underwood
of Alabama gave notice of an amend
ment to provide an educational test
and much of the discussion during the
day was upon this subject. Mr.. Under
wood spoke of the growing need of
stringent restrictions against immi-
grafton as a measure of self preserva-
ton for American citizenship and re-
publican institutions. The class of i'm
migration had descended lower and
lower since $780, due to the induce
ments held out to the pauper and
criminal element of Europe to immi-
CRATE, until Mr.. Underwood declared,
a grave and threatening condition was
presented.

utes. The continued discussion of the
subject will be brought before the as
