AN ENORMOUS QUANTITY HANDLED

A Deficiency of $450. 1000 For Mail Gar
 ried by RaIIroads and $1 100000 For
 Wagon Service Estimated-Improv.
 cd Postal Cars Advocated.
 Washington, Nov. 5.-Mr. W. s. Shal- lenberger, second assistant postmaster general, has submitted his annual re- port to the postmaster general. It shows that the annual rate of expendi- ture for all classes of mail transporta- tion service in this country is $63 3,594,- 642 and that the rate of cost per mile travelled is $12S9 There are 1,40o lines of travelling post offices, railroad, steam boat and electric car, covering 139, ,29S miles in length, with 10,555 employees.
 It is estimated that the railway post al clerks handled during the year 15,- 999, ,802,680 pieces of mail matter ex- elusive of registered matter, and 1887, : 664 errors were reported in their distri- button, ratio of one error to Il 1,530 correct distributions. During the year there were 373 casualties to mail cars, in which IS clerks and other employ ees were killed and 78 clerks seriously and 398 slightly injured. There were COCsoCs1 1CO<@ kONAAAS VI pau oCSO1Au SldSn matter received from publishers and 36,805,8S pounds carried within the country of publications free of charge, making an aggregate of 272, ,921 tons
 The department is considering the question of improved construction of postal cars. The investigation thus far tends to favor a combination of wood and steel as against all steel construc- sdon.
 Mir. Shallenberger says he is inclined to think that the contract system of purchasing mail equipment should be abandoned and the government manu- fracture it's own equipment
 deficiency approximating $450,O00 is anticipated in the expenditure for railroad transportation for the current year and $100,000 in wagon mail serv- Ice. The latter deficiency is due to the recent failure of the contractor for the service in New York and the reletting ~Qf the route, the indemnifying sums covered into the treasury under the bonds not being available for the pay ments.
 The feature of delivering mail boxes along the lines of star routes will be extended to the entire system of star service on more than 20,0OO routes, az rregating over 249 900 miles in Iength.
