RURAL DELIVERY BOXES.
The Post Office Department Cannot
Furnish Them.

An erroneous statement, widely dissent
mated in western newspapers, that the Post
Office Department had decided to furnish
boxes for the rural free delivery service, Is
causing much embarrassment in the eStab-
lishment of new rural free delivery routes
The fact Is that though numerous sugges-
tons have been made by the department
and In Congress for the furnishing Of rural
boxes by the government at cost, no action
of the kind indicated has been either au-
thorized- or taken. The patrons of the rural
free delivery service are required, as here
tofore. to supply their own boxes from lists
approved by the department. these boxes
then falling under the protection Of the
United States statutes in regard to the
safe delivery of mails.
In this connection the post office officials
state that they have several times asked
Congress to authorize the department to
furnish boxes to the patrons of the rural
free delivery at cost price, but that Con-
greSs has refused to take any such action.
The efforts of the officials will continue
along this line. however. and 1t will be
their endeavor to secure such action. The
present status is MOST embarrassing to the
postal officials as the patrons of the service
frequently go to great expense to construct
letter boxes which are not In accordance
with the patterns approved by the govern
ment and which, therefore. must be torn
down or the government will refuse to ac-
cept responsibility for the safe delivery Of
mail through them.

INTERPRETING TAX LAWS.
Two Decisions of Interest by the Su-
preme Court.

In the Supreme Court of the United
States today an opinion was delivered by
Justice Brown in the case Of John Kelley
against Oliver Rhoads, involving the appli-
cabilty of Wyoming to tax live stock
when being driven through the state. In
this case the Wyoming authorities sought
to assess taxes upon 10000 head of sheep
which Kelley was driving through the state
from Utah to an eastern market
1t was shown that the transit consumed
from six to eight weeks and the sheep OBJ
tanned sustenance by grazing as they pass
ed along. The Wyoming court sustained
the law. but it's holding was reversed by
Justice Browns decision. He held that the
grazing of the sheep was only Incidental n
their transit. and that if stock in transit
could be taxed in one state It could be
taxed in any number of states through
which ii might pass.
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of
Michigans law making logs taxable which
are in transit to another state. The case in
which the decision was rendered was that
of the Diamond Match Company against
the village of Ontonagon. The match COM
pany sought to restrain the assessment of
taxes by the village under this law, on the
ground that such taxation is an Interior
ence with the constitutional right Of infer
state commerce. The supreme court of
Michigan refused to indorse this contention
and today's opinion. delivered by Justice
McKenna. affirmed that view.

FAVoRS THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Counsel General Mason Urges It's
Adoption in This Country.

Apropos of the measures pending before
Congress providing for the introduction Of
the metric system of weights and measures
into this country, United States Deputy
Consul General Mason at Berlin has re-
ported to the State Department the result
of his inquiries among commission agents
importers and others in Germany as to how
far the Of English weights and meas
ures in the United States is considered
hindrance to the trade between the two
countries and as to what advantages have
accrued from the Introduction Of the metric
system in Germany. The consul is of the
opinion that the use Of the present system
in America, while causing some fnconven-
fence and increased clerical labor does not
seriously hamper the American export trade
through the large German commission
houses dealing regularly with the United
States. As viewed from Germanys expert
ence Consul Mason recommends q radical
measure rendering the metrical system per-
Missile for a certain period, after which It
Is to be the exclusively legal system. as the
most effectual- and economical way Of
bringing 1t Into general use. Helpful in
making such change would be an efficient
bureau of weights and measures Admit
ting that the general Introduction of the
metric system into the United States will
undoubtedly cause temporary expense and
trouble the benefits derived from It's adop-
ton will, he contends, be permanent, and
far greater population than that OF the
United States at present will be materially
benefited by the change

EXPECT STORMY MEETING.
But Advocates Of Base Ball Peace Are
Still Confident.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, January 10. = AL
though Messrs. Hermann of Cincinnati.
Robson of st. Louis, Hart of Chicago and
Dreyfus, representing both Pittsburg and
Philadelphia are still confident that the
peace agreement with the American League
will finally be ratified. it is evident that the
meeting of the National League this after
noon to consider that agreement will be q
stormy one.
There viii be no evasion of the injunc-
ton and no attempt at ratification unless
the injunction is dissolved. The meeting
will proceed with the consideration o. the
agreement and ascertain definitely how the
National League stands. The peace ad-
vocates say that FIVE to three is the worst
that can come, but, they expect Boston to
make 1t six to two, and even predict after
full discussion of the situation that 1t will
be unanimous and the injunction dissolved.
In the event of a rupture both sides will
leave Tuesday for Philadelphia to partici-
pate in the hearing of motion on We'd
nesday to make thef injunction permanent.
1t is stated here that w. Kesley Schoepf,

pany. and his ASSOCIATES in Philadelphia

EDUCATING FILIPINO TEACHERS.
1t is Recommended That They Be
Trained in the United States.

The education of Filipinos in the United
States at government expense, with a view
to their eventual return to the Philippines
as teachers, is recommended by Bernard
III. Moses. secretary of public instruction
for the Philippine Islands. in a report to
the War Department.
While Mr. Moses has much to- say of the
good results accomplished by the thousand
or more American teachers who have been
al work In the islands during the last fiscal
year, he states that 1.-The ultimate character
OF public instruction in the Philippines must
depend on the character of the Filipino
teachers which it will be possible to de-
Nelop.'

TWO TICKETS IN FIELD.
National Safe Deposit, Savings and
Trust Co. Election.

Two tickets were presented today for the
consideration of the stockholders of the Ma
tional Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Co.,
who came to vote their stock at the annual
election, which was held in the Office of the
company at the northwest corner of New
York avenue and 18th street. One contained
the list of the twenty men who have served
the company during the past year, while
the other ticket was said to contain several
new names.
There Is some uncertainty as to the cause
OF this contest as to the personnel Of the
board of directors. but the explanation
most generally accepted is that it arises
from the varying views as to the policy to
be pursued relative to proposition before
the board which, in brief, is to increase the
$1,OO0,00O. to $2,OOO,000 1t is understood
that those who are voting for the old ticket
are in favor of the proposed enlargement Of
the capital Of the company, while the other
side favors leaving matters as they are
The polls do not close until late this after
noon. Both sides seem to be confid ant.
The opponents Of the plan to increase the
capital were this afternoon firm in the
belief that they have enough votes to carry
the day, while the other side is equally
confident.
In this connection 1t Is interesting to state
that according to the current gossip of the
street the proposed change in the amount
of the capital stock Is intended merely to
be a preliminary step In a policy which
will result in a virtual change of the con-
troll OF the management of the company.
1t is believed that those who are favoring
this change, lor at least some Of them, are
Identical with those who have been discuss
ing.the project Of establishing in this city a
new trust company.
AS stated in The Star some time ago the
prevailing gossip of that time credited Mr.
John r. Mclean and his associates in the
purchase of the Riggs Bank stock shares
owned by E. Francis Riggs and the old
bank property at the corner Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and 18th street, also owned
by Mr.. Riggs with the purpose Of start
ing trust company. $50 - Qy.
1t Is now said that these interests pro-
posed to acquire a control Of the National
Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Company
and instead Of organizing new concern
to take hold Of the existing company.

NO ANSWER TO DEMOCRATS.
Delaware Regular Republicans Ignore
Offer as to Senators.

DOVER, Del, January 19.-Assemblyman
VIM. r. Finn, one Of the first regular re
publicans to reach the statehouse today.
stated that no conference had been arrang-
ed with the democratic members. When
asked by a representative of the Associated
Press If the regular republicans had not
considered the democratic overtures to deal
on the senatorship he replied:
1--WE have not. In fact. how can we take
1t up? The democrats make their offer to
the people of Delaware They have direct
ed nothing to us. "a We have no one to an
swer."
Senator Sparks, regular republican, said:
There Is nothing before us as yet"
From other sources it was said that the
regulars may decide 1t unwise to act until
the democrats have addressed their propo-
sition to each one of them.
Senator Smith, democrat, said today: eff
the regular republicans invent any loophole
of escape or in any way evade or reject
this democratic proffer to wipe out Addicks,
the great fortress behind which they have
been fighting-the support OF the American
to them. They must either elect or reject.

ROADS HAVE THE CARS
But the Independent Opera

STATEMENT OF MINER
HE SAYS FREIGHT CARS ARE
STANDING IDLE.
No Effort Made to Improvise Facih-
ties to Meet the Present
Emergency.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
SCRANTON, Pa, January ID. - Inc
miners of the anthracite region claim they
are the victims of press agents who are IN
the employ of the big coal-carrying rail-
roads, Henry Collins Of Carbonate, near
this city, who is veteran miner ana
leader among his fellow workmen, said this
afternoon:
Ever since the resumption of.work last
October the coal companies have mad III
their employ prominent newspaper men OF
the country who are paid to circulate news
paper reports which place US In disrepute
with the public and also tend to influence
the strike commission. We have been &C
cused of refusing to work reasonable
number of hours each day, and with limit
ing the number of cars we are to mine per
day. These stories are absolutely untrue
and without any foundation Of fact
Miners Willing to Cooperate.
1.-THE poorly paid miner OF the Pennsyl-
vania coal fields is willing to cooperate
with the coal companies so that an in
creased production of coal will be assured
and the insincerity of our employers In try
ing to appear before the public in favor
able light is seen in the manner in which
they make another claim, that they do not
have enough cars to carry all the coal they
mine to the big coal mrkets.
During the entire period since the pres
ent coal famine in the large cities have
been at It's most alarming stage, not one
coal company has attempted to use any
thing but the regulation gondola coal cars.
No effort has been made to use freight
fiat cars and other size cars for the pur-
pose of carrying COAL"
Spectators c. Cars.
'Speculators who are bleeding consum-
ers in Washington and Boston are given
freight cars by the coal companies. and
these cars. which carry thirty tons. have
proven as successful as the gondo!a car
In fact, they are better, because the coal Is
covered and when the train is caught in a
snow storm or side tracked there Is no dan
ger of the water and snow freezing in the
coal together.
why have the coal companies failed to
use these freight cars? An inspection OF
any of the freight yards in this city will
show that there are hundreds Of empty
freight cars standing there.
LAS regards our refusal to work longer
hours. if any newspaper cares to make
an invest igatioh we feel convinced that we
will be indicated before the public
