RURAL DELIVERY WILL PAY.
Present Restricted Delivery Costs
About 8 Million Dollars.
CHEAPER POSTAGE ALSO PAYS.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Postmaster
General Payne is confident that rural
free delivery will pay for itself At
the present time the cost of a restricted
rural delivery is about million dol
lars. This is just about what the pos
tai receipts of the country were in
1862. When the entire country is sup
piled with a rural free delivery the
total cost will be about % million dol
lars, or million dollars more than the
total receipts of the postofice depart
ment as late as 1872.
With the extension of rural free de-
livery TO all parts of the United States
it is hoped that foreign postage will be
reduced from five cents to two. The
Postmaster General believes such
reduction would increase the postal
receipts The present cost OF sending
foreign mail prevents anything like an
active correspondence among poor per-
sons who have relatives and friends on
the other side, and American business
houses cannot send their circulars
abroad without too great expense
The growth of the postofice depart
ment is out of proportion to the growth
of the business of the country or its
growth in population. Back of the
desk at which the Postmaster General
sits is a tabulated statement showing
the business done by the postoffice de-
partment for every year since its
establishment
THE increase in the postal receipts
almost stagger me every time l look at
that table, ;" said the Postmaster Cen
eral.
1.-The more we reduce the postage
rate the greater the receipts seem and
the more nearly we are able to balance
accounts for the service rendered. In
| two decades we have more than trebled
postal receipts. The table also shows
| that during the civil war the postal
receipts of the United States govern
ment steadily increased, being larger
when the war closed than when it be-
| gun. This shows what a small factor
the South is in the postal revenues of
the country. Our estimated increase.for
the fiscal year ending in 1903 is great
er than when the total receipts at the
beginning of the war.
''Superintendents of railroads take
| almost as much interest in pcrfecting
| the postal service as does the depart
ment itself. Cities which are strug-
Cling with each other for supremacy
| bring pressure to bear which manifests
itself in the extension of the service,
and the newspapers through their cir
culators wont let the department for
| 1t where the service can be improved.
"A difference of half an hour in a
t. ain service may determine which city
viii monopolize a given news territory,
and the business of the department is
to get the mail at the quickest possible
time into any given territory"

Parain silver Again

Washington, Jan. 2.-The state de-
partment has been officially advised
that the second installment of the
Chinese indemnity fund must be paid
on a silver basis. THIS result has been
anticipated and the department more
than a month ago was advised unoffi-
cially OF what would happen. The
first installment OF the indemnity,
which was due July 1, last, was like
wise paid on silver basis, the nations
receiving the money reserving the
right to reclaim the difference between
the silver and the gold basis.

NO PATIENCE WITH COLOMBIA.
Congress May Bring Colombia To It's
Senses

Washington, Jan. 3--The negotia-
tons with Colombia for a canal treaty
have been suspended again and Secre-
tary Hays patience is very nearly ex-
hausted. Mr. Herran. the charge
d'affaires of Colombia, is not to blame,
for he has acted with energy, intelli-
gence and good sense since Minister
Conchas retired from the field and
returned to his country. The treaty
is practically completed and is ready
to sign. 1t was confidently expected
that it would be signed before the first
of the new year, but the authorities at
Bogota have forbidden Mr.. Herran, or
at least will not authorize him, to con-
clude the negotiations
The president is not inclined to tenn
porize with Colombia much longer, and
the members of the senate and house
of represen tatives who have taken the
most interest in canal legislation are of
the opinion that the negotiations with
Colombia better be terminated and
work begun on the Nicaragua route.
AS soon as congress reassembles Mr..
Morgan in the senate and Mr.. Hep
burn in the house will introduce
resolutions instr ucting the president
not to bother with Colombia any long
Costa Rica and commence construction.
Such action will probably bring
Colombia to terms.
