Washington Jan. 24-Plans have been COM
pleted for the selection of the site for the new
postofice building in New-York by the special
commission consisting of Postmaster General
Payne Secretary Shaw and Attorney General
Knox, appointed under an act of Congress
passed at the last session. The special COM
missoners are to leave Washington for New

that day and the next to the subject of the
new site With the information and specific
data which have been prepared. the selection Of
the site will be matter for only brief delibera-
tion. While many sites have been offered, 1t
is understood that the question has narrowed
down to q few which considered available.
There is some fear on the part of New-York
members of the two houses of Congress that the
selection is being delayed too long. An aLpro-
priation for the construction of the post
Office building is to be pushed rapidly for con-
sideration the site is selected and

Replying to the delegates argument that an
the advantages which the government hao
gained by securing the abolition OF the sugar
bounties would be sacrificed If the CUBAN reci-
procity treaty became operative, Loru hahs-
downe said he thoroughly realized the sraEi'S
of the situation, and proceeded 10 reao ui'

forcefully represented the British objections W

States was doing no more than it had rlsht u

Lord Lansdowne added that all the informa-
ton avaiabl pointed to the fact that the treaty
would pass but he announced that the oauine'
would consider if anything further could De

The delegates said they understood that tne
treaty contained a secret clause stipuiatlng tnat
no further measures of reciprocity should oe

Bv The Associated Press

(By The Associated Press)
Washington. Jan. 24-The State Department
is considering the advisability of extending the
period of time allowed for the ratification of
the Cuban reciprocity treaty, now pending be-
fcre the Senate. The time allowed for ratihca-
ton expires week from to-day While the
Senate managers confident of their ability
to secure the approval of the treaty within the
time limit, the President and Secretary Hay
have about concluded that they will scarcely
be warranted in risking the loss Of this impor-
tant convention, and therefore they contemplate
the drafting of a special article in the shape Of
a protocol which will provide for a safe ex-
tension of the period allowed for ratification.

ESTIMATED.
In commenting the showing Mr.. SAKE says
1t be readily seen at glance that, notwith-
standing the bureau has expended more money dur
ing 1902 than in prior year, business basis
the expenditures were justified.
1t must be borne in mind that the difference In
expenses during the years 1895 to 1901. inclusive
compared with those oS 1902 Is almost altogether
for contingent expenses the difference in total
salaries does exceed $2.Sf0. The large contin-
gent expenses for the year 1902 arose mainly on
count OF the reorganization of the bureau and the
large amount of typewriting work and process
serving that necessarily followed from the volume
OF business undertaken.

A Chicago man has observed that.
Good deeds are better than real
estate deeds-some of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by
it, Most men appreciate kind
word and encouragement more than
substantial help. There are persons
in this community who might truth
fully say: my good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Chamberlain S
