- ENATOR WELLINGTON has Of
frrcl an amendment to the Post
~ office Bill. appropliating $780,
coo for an experimental parcels
post system, which we believe reflects
the popular interest on this subject.
We have never seen any good and Suf-
iicicul reason. why the Government Of
the Emitted States. cannot carry as cheap
ly, and deliver as promptly, parcels of
limited weight rs England or any con-
tincutaI country. We are aware, that
the greatest opposition to the adoption
of the system comes from the Express
Companies, who now under contracts
with railroad lines, monopolize the bust
ness.
In Continental Europe where the Gov
ernmcuts own the railroads in whole or
i'll part, 40 obstacles in the way Of lN-
press Companies exist.
In England howrvrr. the ownership Of
the railroads is not vested in the Gov
crumcu, yet for years the system has
been in successful operation. For three
pence, or six cents in our currency, par
cells weighing one pound are delivered at
any inland post-orr. The weight of
parcels semi through the mails. is limit
ed to eleven pounds, parcel of that
weight costing one shilling or twenty
four cents in our currency.
A. It contemporary forccfully says. it
is surprising in view of the aggressive
enterprise of the United States in so
many directions. that this convenient and
comparatively cheap method of sending
mail, has not been adopted here for in
land purposes.

COUNT YANAGIWANA
GOES SIGHTSEEING
Thinks Few Cities Can Compare With
Washington in Beauty.

Count Yanagiwana, a cousin of the
Mikado of Japan. and his quondam
schoolmate. Otohiko Majima, who will
be in this country for several months
spent most of the day in sightseeing. A
visit 20 the Corcoran Art Gallery this
morning pleased the count greatly. Both
of the Japanese say few cities they have
seen can compare to Washington in
beauty.
The visitors had intended TO call upon
President Roosevelt late this afternoon,
but his departure for New York necessi-
tates a postponement OF their visit.
Count Yanagiwana is more or less
amused over the persistent inquiry as to
whether he is in quest OF an American
wife or not. The fact is, the count is a
married man. He treats the question as
a joke, and says il must be the way of
the American people.
