The Post Check Plan.

Postmaster General Payne in his last
annual report took strong ground IN
favor of the passage of measure
which would afford a safe and cheap
method of transmitting money through
the mails. The necessity for a measure
of that character is all the greater be-
cause of the rapid extension of the ru-
raj free delivery system, and it was on
that ground mainly that Postmaster
General Payne based his recommends
ton.
The bill providing for the issue of
post check currency would obviate all
the annoyance and the difficulties at
tendant on the present system of trans
mitting money through the mails. The
dwallars in the rural district, equally
with the dwellers in the city, would
have cheap and convenient means OF
sending money through the mails abb
solutely safe and avoiding all question
of torn or mutilated bills or stamps
stuck to the letter in which they were
placed for transmission as the equiva-
lent Of money.
The post check would possess all the
circulating and value qualities of the
present system on bank notes, and by
its retirment on presentation at any
postoftice for payment and the issue OF
another in it's stead would maintain
constant supply of clean money, and
would make every man his own money
order Office, with no outlay of time re-
euired on his part. The bill is one Of
iha greatest possible merit .--Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.

was MuroeFcp'
Pittsfield. Mass, Feb. 24.-ln a
snow bank close to her home. near
Washington mountain road, the body
of Mrs. Ellen F'rumma was found froz-
en- stiff yesterday afternoon. In the
house lay the body Of Lyman Jordan
shot through the temple. Mrs. Frum-
ma was Jordal's housekeeper.
Tuesday the eight-year-old son of
Mrs. Frumma ran to a neighbors 3
house and reported that Jordan had
kicked his mother and threatened to
kill her; that she had then left the
house. and they had been unable to
find her. Yesterday afternoon the boy
again went to the neighbors house and
said that he and Jordan had found his
mother in the woods in the snow bank
dead.
1t Is generally supposed that Mrs.
F'rumma perished from exposure after
leaving the house, but there are some
evidences that the woman was dragged
to the spot where her body was found
and it. is thought she may have been
deliberately murdered.
Mrs. Frumma was about 35 years Of
age. She and her husband, an Albany
barber, separated about four years
ago.

STEEL BUSINESS PICKS UP.
Little Prospect of Agreement Between
Sellers and Producers.

Cleveland, Feb. a5.--In its review OF
the iron market this week the Iron
Trade Review says:
The large steel companies have made
some good additions to their books in
the past week and in some cases new
business has exceeded min shipments.
railroad buying undoubtedly is better.
The purchases of rails announced two
weeks ago were followed by contracts
for track material and there has been a
fair run of orders for new cars. This
week there are inquiries from two lines
for i25.OoO tons of rails and contracts
are expected to be made at an early
.iay. Definite developments In struct-
ural lines are still lacking, though Chi
cago reports projects practically assur-
ed that it win require 10000 tons of
shapes and at New York the initial
stems have been taken in construction
that will call for a similar amount.
One railroad inquiry for bridge work.
the past week represents 5000 tons.
The bar trade has been one Of the
most satisfactory features of the situa-
ton. For the most part. bar iron is
sold at 81 to So below the price of steel.
The steel sheet trade has been marked
by irregularity and s2.2O Pittsburg for
No. is not maintained. The record
Of the pig iron market Is still one Oh
low prices and limited tonnage. The
bessemer pig iron association held
meeting in Cleveland in the past week
and canvassed the situation which has
little of immediate promise. Central
western furnaces have made sales
ranging from $12 to s12.25 at furnaces
for No. and s12 has been shaded In
the sharp scramble for the more desir-
able business The Lake Superior ore
situation presents no new develop
ments Another meeting of producers
and selling firms will be held in Cleve-
land on February 20 but there is only
remote possibility of an agreement for
1904.

Many False Reports.

New York, Feb. 25.-Many false re-
ports are being circulated here, says a
Herald dispatch from st. Petersburg,
one being to the effect that Rear Ad-
miral Evans II. S. N, has 5000 ma
rines ready to dispatch at a moments
notice. This only again stimulates
anti i-American feeling among certain
classes. one newspaper publishes a
report that $4,000 Chinese soldiers
have gone over to the japanese army.
AS a conseqr ence of such rumors the
belief seems to grow that the outlook is
tending in the far east towards inter-
national complications. -
