During the ten years from 1890 to
1901 there were 1908 casualties in the
railway mail service. In these casual
ties during this ten year period, there
were 70 clerks killed, 513 seriously in
jured, and 1,173 slightly injured; a to-
tai of 1,761 men killed or injured.
During this period the working force
varied from 6,032 clerks in the year
1891, up to S,695 clerks in the year
1900, which shows that the percent
age of fatalities and casualties is very
high. 1t is claimed by experienced of
ticials that the percentage of killed
and injured in the railway mail ser
vice is much greater than it is in the
army or navy.

Last evening at o'clock Harry f.
Dell, of Davenport, and Miss Fannie
Gibson, of Quincy, H., were married
at the First Baptist parsonage by
Rev. II. W. Reed. The groom is en-
ployed in the harness department at
Rock Island arsenal and the couple
will live in Davenport. The wedding,
it has been learned, was the culmina-
ton of a trip of the bride to the tri-
cities to find employment. Upon ar
irving here She met Mr.. Dell, to whom
she was already engaged, and the
wedding was decided upon, after Il
short conference, as the easiest man
ner in which to solve the problem.

BegInnIng of the servIce.

According to the records 1884 was
the first year when the United States
mails were carried on railroads; the
lengths OF routes then being only IS
miles all told The service increased
until 1864 there were 22,616 miles. at
which time the railway mail service
was established as n branch of the
postal service. and the distribution of
mail enroute was commenced.
For the 80 years prior the mails car
ried on railroads were enclosed bags
not opened enroute. or if accompani-
ed by Il messenger. he simply assert
ed the packages of letters for local
postofiices along the railroad. and all
through mail going beyond this route
was dumped into the terminal post
Office to be held over II to - hours
for examination and separation. and
the postmasters at these places of de-
lay were entitled to commission of
1919 per cent on letter postage pass
ing through their Offices
The new departure. the railway
mail service, with postal clerks as
signed to work therein. was designed
to start the mail from the initial post
pliCt WIN the least separation pos
sible, and to sort the mail
enrOute. making direct connection in
other directions, and finally to make
as quick time for the mails as pass
enger could accomplish.
There are over 10000 stationary
postoffices. If each made up its own
mails for every other postofiice, each
would have to make over 10000 sepa-
rations at every dispatch. But with
the railway postoffice as an intermedi-
AIRY, to combine the mail from the
small Postotficcs and separate the
mail originating at the large post
offices, an almost incredible saving is
effected in time and clerical labor
For example, the postofiice in New
York city instead of making 10000
separations, makes less than 1900
Philadelphia only about 1000.

GERMANY ACCUSED
OF CRUELTIES
VENEZUELA PUTS UP SOME BIG
TALK OF GRIMES AGAINST
CHRISTIANITY"

1 CARACAS, Saturday, Dec. 20.-Deep
Indignation has been caused here by
the continued and savage, outrages OF
the Germans on Nenezuelans. The
commander of the German cruiser Falk
most inhumanly caused the crew OF
the Venezuelan schooner Victoria to
leave that vessel in a heavy sea and
one of the Victoria's seamen was
drowned.
mot even the South Sea savages,
said DR.. Blanc, the foreign minister
would be treated by civilized power
as the Germans and British are treat
ing our people. The drowning of that
poor seaman of the Victoria was a
cowardly murder, and Venezuela will
demand satisfaction for it,,
Another crime is picking on the
poor pearl finders, who certainly have
nothing to do with the trouble
Il hope the United States and Spanish
America will take notice of these
crimes against Christianity and civil
zation-crimes which will forever be a
dark blot on the nations whose navieS
have committed them"

GETS
THE TRANSPORTS
ROOT DIRECTS THE ACCEPTANCE
OF THE BOSTON STEAMSHIP
COMPANY'S BID.

WASHINGTON, December 19.-The
Secretary of War today directed the
quartermaster general to award the
contract for transporting troops and
supplies from Seattle to Manila to the
Boston Steamship Company. The prov
ision of the companys proposal that
10 per cent of all transportation bust
ness be carried on through Seattle is
eliminated, and there is no assurance
of any definite number of soldiers or
quantity Of freight to be shipped by
way of that city. 1t is, therefore, in
the power of the War Department to
withhold business entirely, or to ship
the smallest amount possible by the
Boston Steamship Companys line.
President Winsor said this afternoon
that he was confident of having all
business that has heretofore been car
ried on through Seattle, and was hope
full of increasing the business mate
rally.
There is no doubt whatever that the
War Department is almost hopelessly
hidebound on the Philippine business
that San Francisco is the most advan.
tageous shipping point, this being att
tributable to the fact that the officers
have for years been in the habit of car
rying on quartermaster business
through the California port, and they
are hampered by the bureaus conserV-
atism and narrowness.
Secretary Root will Immediately set
to work on his scheme for selling or
leasing the government transports. 1t
is an open secret that he hopes they
will be purchased by San Francisco in
terests. and that they viii bid success
fully for the great bulk of the War De-
partments transportation business be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Philip
pines. He wishes to make a contract
for term of years. The old argu-
ment, ever raised by the War Depart
ment in favor of San Francisco, is that
expensive hospital accommodation and
shore facilities of all kinds have been
provided there. There is no DISPOSE
ton to consider the obvious fact that
by duplicating these facilities at Seat
tie the government would, i'm the long
run, save money by carrying on its
transportation business from Puget
Sound instead of rom san Francisco.
Mr.. Hartman, of the Southern Paci-
&c lines, has already made preliminary
negotiations in the way of getting con-
troll of the transports for the San Fran
cisco interests. He had a half hours
conference With Secretary Root this
afternoon.

EXIT NOW THE
MULE CAR SYSTEM
NEGOTIATIONS COMPLETED SUB
LAST TRIP ON KING STREET.

The Tramcars quit running on King
street at midnight last night, probably
forever.
A complete agreement between the
Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land Com
pany and the Hawaiian Tramways
Company has been reached, subject to
ratification. The Rapid Transit Com
pany from now on operates the two
systems.
The first and most radical move that
will be made by the Rapid Transit
Company is the taking off of the mule
cars on King street and on the Wal
kiki Road as far as the present ter
minus of the Rapid Transit line in the
McCully tract.
Until the Rapid Transit line is ex-
tended all the way to Kapiolani Park,
the Tramways Company cars will run
on the Waikiki Road from the pre-
sent terminus of the Rapid Transit to-
wards Kapiolani Park the Tramways
Company car meeting each of the
Rapid Transit cars at the terminus.
This schedule goes into effect this
morning. The tram cars finished theii
runs at midnight last night, so thai
