COUNTERFEIT POSTAL CARDS
Now in CircuIation-Receive From
 Many Sections.

New York, April 22.-The postal au- thorities are exercised over the dlscoV- cry of counterfeit postal cards ln the mails from nearly every part of the United States.
 Postmaster Van Cott said tonight: i've have received only a few of the cards at the New York postotfce What bothers us is the fact that those re- ceived have come from so many differ ent sections. Several inspectors are working on the case, however, and don't believe many more will be used. The cards are such poor counterfeit that they would not pass us now that we are on the watch for them."
 The description of the counterfeit cards given by the postal authorities follows: Top of name line runs to- gther, genuine is spaced. Lines of Jeff ferson's face are coarse and broken, wreath not uniform. Word Jefferson is light face genuine is bold face type. It is coated paper not used for cards The whole appears to be a copy of an old worn out plate"

RELIEF TO USINESS MEN.
Treasury Department Abolishes an
 Annoyance to Them..

Washington, April 22.--One of the most important decisions made in years in the treasury department was an- nounced to-day and will be welcomed by the business men of the country as abolishng an annoyance they have eX- perienced in connection with govern ment business. Heretofore the govern men has insisted, through the sub treasuries that all government checks and warrants not must be fully and completely endorsed in the regular way
 but also must be accompanied by a endorser so to endorse the check. This has frequently given rise to vexatious delay and a sort of red tape which has annoyed bankers and business men ev- anywhere. The government heretofore has not deemed ordinary endorsements accepted by banks as sufficient unless accompanied by this certificate of au- thority to endorse. By a ruling of the department, made to-day, sub-treasur- CTS throughout the country will here checks when endorsed, and the endorse ment guaranteed, by the banks pre- sentine the same for payment This reduces the proposition to one of sim pie business caution and hereafter the government will pay warrants much as a cautious business man or banker would pay similarly endorsed paper.

COCKRAN'S AUDIENCE WITH POPE
His Visit Describcd-His Holiness
 stronger Than Five Years Ago.

London, April 22.-W. Bourke Cock ran, of New York, who sails for the United States tomorrow, described to- day his recent audience with the pope to representative of the Associated Press. MT. Cochran said:
 'It is five years since I had seen His Holiness, and I rather dreaded this visit lest I might see some of the cruel in- roads of age. To my astonishment found the pope to be stronger, mentally and physically than when I first saw him. The accuracy of his memory the sweetness of his voice and the bright ness of those wonderful eyes seem to have been accentuated rather than di unfinished by the intervening five years.
 His Holiness expressed, as he always does, his great friendliness for America and exhibited a keen knowledge of American affairs. Nothing rela ting to the Philippine Islands or to politics was mentioned; our conversation was all most exclusively upon ecclesiastical matters. He referred to the address made in New York upon the occasion of his jubilee in which I endeavored to point out the logical right of the pape's authority and his infallibility. He took up this theme, saying how deep was his thankfulness to the hand which contin- ued to sustain him in fulfilling his great duties, and how. as the years passed his realization of responsibility increas- ed Yet, added His Holiness. I feel very deeply that all the decrees I may make are as equally binding upon my self as upon the humblest member of the church..
 with bowed head and wonderful hu- mility," continued Mir Cochran, "he portrayed the inpersonality with which he endows his great authority, referring to which His Holiness said: I only ex- ercise it in the hope to save mankind by pointing to the road of salvation al- ready marked out by the Saviour"

Pny is RidiouIed.

Copenhagen, April 22.-The lands thing, (upper house), to-day considered in open session, the treaty for provid- ing for the sale of the Danish West In- dies to the United States. The foreign minister, Dr. Deuntzer, made strong pro-sale speech, covering the various arguments of the opposition against the sale of the islands. He caused a sen- sation by reading statements from the United States official publications showing that Estrup, the leader of op- position, offered to sell the islands to the United States in 1892, when Estrup was prime minister and minister of finance.
 Dr. Deuntzer also ridiculed the fear of the opposition that the United States congress might refuse to appropriate $5 ,000, ,000 to purchase the islands and controverted the arguments advanced against the treaty because 1t did not confer citizenship and free trade on the islanders, pointing out that the Danish constitution does not extend to the isl ands and that Denmark does not en- joy free trade, while, he added, re- cent decision of the supreme court of the United States insured the islands free trade with the United States.
 E,x- Premier Redtz Thott, and the leader, Madsen Mygdal, followed praising the growth of the liberal institutions in the United States and declaring that the sale insured the of the islands
 It is expected that a vote on the treaty will be taken tomorrow.
