VIENNA, Jan. 4.-Reports have been re-
ceived here from sources closely con-
nected with the court Of Saxony Of a pos
sible reconciliation between the crown
princess Of Saxony and her husband. The
family Of the prince are especially con-
cerned with 1t on account Of the princess
unborn child, desiring its birth to take
place under conditions permitting proper
Identification and prevent possible substi-
tuition, which 1t is supposed the princess
might attempt II the crown princess fam
lily attempted to claim the child.
The crown prince is reported as even
now unwilling to abandon the belief that
the unborn child may be his own. While
King George angrily insists that his sons
faithless wife be cast adrift. 1t is under
stood that the crown prince places no OBJ
stacles in the way Of a reconciliation
should his wife be willing to come back.
It is naturally to be understood. accord
ing to report, that 1t is impossible to per-
NIT the princess to return to Saxony and
become queen, but the suggestion is made
that she reside in retirement near the
frontier, where she could see her children
occasionally.
No effort will be made to negotiate with
NJ. Giron, who is regarded as a raw stu
dent. but 1t is thought that the princess
might be induced to accept the foregoing
proposals on account Of her love for her
children.

Hopeful of Free Delivery.

Postmaster General Payne is confident
that free rural delivery will eventually pay
for itself. At the present time the cost Of
a restricted rural free delivery is about
s.OOO.o 900. This is Just the amount, in
round numbers. the postal receipts Of the
country were in 1862. When the entire
country is supplied with a rural free deliv-
cry the cost will be in round numbers $685.
900. 900. or $4,000. 900 more than the total re-
ceipts Of the postofice department as late
as 1872.
With the extension Of rural free delivery
10 all parts of the United States Il is hoped
that foreign postage will be reduced from 5
TO 2 cents. The postmaster general be-
lieves such a reduction would increase the
postal receipts. The present cost OF send
ing foreign mail prevents anything like
active correspondence among poor people
who have relatives and friends on the other
side. and American business houses cannot
send their circulars abroad without a too
great expense. But the two directions In
which the postmaster general is moving will
inevitably result in a free delivery OF mail

Mexican Bread Prices Rise.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 4.-The recent ad-
vance in the price of wheat has caused
bakers here to diminish the size of their

and this has worked a hardship on the
poorer classes. The government is deter
mined that the wheat ring which has been
monopoliEing the grain market shall be
dealt a severe blow. For this reason the
decree taking OF the duties on wheat was
