threshed for forty cents an acre with

looks as though the old method of
cutting, shocking and threshing
at different times were doomed.

Most of them seemed to favor a sea level canal. They also thought all differences with Panama would be amicably adjust ed several members favoring a commer- cial and postal convention between the countries. All agreed that the United States have to maintain order and pro- tect the labor during the canal work.
 The party will leave for Washington tomorrow night, to be present at the open ing of congress.

all kinds of measures that would fare badly if left to themseles.
 Among other bills of public interest pending in the senate or house are the following: Providing for the transporta- tion of naval and other stores in Amer ican built ships; for the protection of forest reserves and the creation of addi- tional reserves; for the payment of S200, 900 to ex-Queen Liluckalani; to amend the act for the suppression of lottery traffic to make liquor laws transported by interstate traffic subject to the laws Of the state where it Is sold.
 One day during the morning session will be devoted to counting the electoral vote cast for the President and vice president The ballots of electors of the different states are sent to the President pro tenn Of the senate and on the second Wednesday in February the senate with the forty-five ballot boxes, one from each state. will proceed to the house, can- vass the vote and declare the result It Is an interesting fact that although all ma chinery Is provided for the election of a President and vice president and for the official canvass and declaration of the vote, no provision is made for officially notifying the men elected. Both President Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks will have to take the proceedings of the joint session of congress as their notification of the result of the recent election.
 Two senators are to take oath of office. Philander c. Knox. the successor of Sem ator Quay from Pennsylvania and w Murray Crane. the successor of Senator Hoar from Massachusetts, both seats having been made vacant by death since the last session. Two chairmanships of committees may be filled at the coming session. The senate never filled the va cancy at the head of the inter-oceanic canals committee after the death of Sem ator Hanna and Senator Hoars death leaves a vacancy at the head of the im- portant committee on the judiciary In all probability Senator Platt of Connect icut will be the acting chairman of Ju- diciary as Senator Platt of New York has been the acting chairman of the ca nal committee.

Increased Deficiency Shown.

An increased deficiency of 92.5S per cent over the previous year is shown by the financial statement for the postal ser vice, incorporated in the annual report of E. c. Madden. third assistant post master general for the fiscal year end ed June 30, 1904.
 The report shows, however, that the increase in expenditures is on account of the rural free delivery service. Were it not for this extraordinary expenditure. the postal service would now be about self-sustaining. The total receipts from all sources for the fiscal year were $143, 5s2,624 and the total expenditures s152, 362,116 leaving a deficiency of SS,779, ,492 The deficiency for the previous year was S4560,044. MT. Madden says:
 Tt is believed that as soon as the rural free delivery service is fully established the increase in expenditures on account of that service each year will not be more than the normal increase for other | items of the service, and that within a short time, after such normal conditions obtain, the postal service again will be self-supporting, a condition which has not existed since 1SsS"
 International Postage Stamps.
 The question of international postage l stamp is one which has not been urged by the department for many years. MT. Madden in his annual report says that if such a thing can be operated, and the interests of each government protected, it would be a step in advance. He rec ommends the step as one worthy of con sideration for the postal congress soon | to convene in Rome. It Is argued that the United States is now carrying mail half way round the world for the domes- tic rate and every step in the direction of postal uniformity is a step toward the facilitation of the worlds business. Money taken from dead letters, for which no owners could be found, and that realized from the auction sale of unclaimed articles accumulated in the dead letter office, aggregated $22, ,210.
