POSTAL CURRENCY.
Superintendent Metcalf Offers a Sub
stitute for the Post Plan.

TIL committee of postal and treasury eX-
perts Investigating the question of estab-
fishing a postal currency met yesterday,
but adjourned without action. c. w. Post,
the author of the Post currency bill, ex-
planned the measure and urged that the
people needed some means for the imme-
diate remitting of postal currency and said
any plan that calls for going to the post
office to send or receive such currency was
impracticable. For this reason he con-
tended that the pending plan which has
been indorsed by the American Newspaper
Publishers Association should supplant
the money order or postal notes.
Superintendent Metcalf of the money or
der system objected to the form of the
plan, but not to its general scheme. He
conceded that some measure was necessary
by which currency would be obtainable at
ones door, as ii were, but said the division
of the business between the treasury and
Post Office Department was impracticable.
He offered in its stead a Post Office Depart
ment project which, he thought would bet
ter answer the purpose. His scheme is
adapted from the postal notes system used
in Germany, France. Great Britain and
Canada. Great Britain, he said, issues TO-
O0O.OO3 of these postal notes against IL OO0,-
600 of regular money orders. These notes.
he said, could be sold in book form, as
postage stamps are at present, and could
be carried by rural free delivery carriers
as well as in cities

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
DEBATING METHOD OF SUBMIT
TING NEW CONSTITUTION.
Citizens Hold Mass Meeting for Dis
cussion of the Matter-Gen-
eral and Personal.
Evening Star Bureau,
No. 701 King Street,
Bell Telephone No. 100.


Bell Telephone No. 106
ALEXANDRIA. Va. April %. 1902
The people Of this congressional district
are somewhat interested just now in the
question as to whether the new state con-
stitution should be proclaimed by the con-
vention framing 1t or submitted to the
voters. A mass meeting Of the citizens OF
Fauquier county was held yesterday at
Warrenton for the purpose of giving ex-
preston to the prevailing sentiment. The
result was not decisive, no declaration be-
ing made, and Mr.. Eppa Hunton. tr., the
delegate from that county, remains unin-
structed as to the wishes of his constitu-
ents in the matter.
The meeting was presided over by DR.. J.
H. Cochran and Col. R. A. Mcintyre acted
as secretary. A vigorous speech in. favor
Of submitting the work Of the convention to
the whole people was made by James p.
Jeffries, the commonwealth attorney, but
the opposite view was forcibly maintained
by J. A. C. Keith. ]. B. Beverly introduced
a resolution in favor of proclamation, with
the provision that after from two to four
years Of practical operation the new law
should be voted on by the people, but this
created much discussion, and finally the
meeting broke up without passing upon the
main question at issue.
Mr.. r. E. Thornton OF Fairfax Is au-
thority for the opinion that a majority Of
the people of that county favor having the
new constitution submitted rather than pro-
claimed. 1t is also his belief that the SEN
timent is about evenly divided as between
submission to the abridged electorate and
submission to the whole people The latter
view, he thinks, Is somewhat in the lead
and Is gaining ground
Although the question has been generally
discussed in this city and Alexandria coun-
ty, there have been no public meetings here
for an expression Of the prevailing senti-
ment. Col Francis L. Smith, the delegate
representing Alexandria city and county,
is without any instructions In the matter
so far as the mass Of his constituents is
concerned.
