lowed when there has been any mlshap
in the delivery of mail pouches.
The matter will be referred to the state

Asatic squadron were not opcr.d and
were left under seal at the postofflce.

ECONOMY OF THE
POSTMASTER GENERAL.
INCREASE IN THE ESTIMATES FOR
THE ENSUING YEAR is
ONLY $I2,9oa,4e6.
President Receives Report on the Costs
of the observation-disclosures
Are Kept Down.

Washington, d. c., Oct 1S.-At to-
days cabinet meeting Postmaster Gen
eral Wynne took up with the President
the estimates of appropriation for the
postotlice department. The total amount
estimated is $lS3, 74S ,495, as against an
appropriation for the current fiscal year
of $40, S45,996, the increase in the es'
Inmates for the ensuing year over the APP
preparation for the current year being
$12,9O2, 1896
The closeness with which the figures
have been scanned, said Mr.. Wynne, IS
shown i'll the fact that in the office or
the postmaster general, the assistant at
and fourth assistants and in the topo-
graphical division, the total increase over
the present fiscal years asked from Con-
gress is but $94 $50. That is in total
Of over S1,5OOUOO provided i'll the last
legislative, judicial and executive appro-
priation bill. For the service III general,
which means the service outside the city
of Washington. the figures for the post
master generals Office show no increase.
On the contrary there is a reduction OF
$4,000. In the office of the first assistant,
where the salaries of postmasters and
rentals are allowed, the increase is s.
10 800. which is in exact proportion to
the growth of business, based on previous
experience, and the record which shows
about the percentage of new postmasters
and additional postoflices to be provided
for. The increase in the bureau of the
second assistant, for the transportation
Of mails, is S2,5j2,771. This indi-
Gates the expected growth in the volume
of mail matter to be handled during the
next fiscal year. The total estimated for
this Office is $76.92S,5O0. The increase
in the appropriation for the office of the
third assistant. who has charge of the
printing of stamps and stamped en-
vclopes and of the accounts of the depart
ment is only $4,000, the total being
81 sec, 800
The increase estimated for the office OF
the fourth assistant includes S1O9,55O for
postofiice inspectors; S1.171,575 for free
delivery service and $6.006,300 for rural
free delivery service, a total increase of
$72S7 ,425.
Nearly the total deficiency which Con
gress will be asked to provide for the
department for the current year is in
cluded in the amount of increase asked
for for rural free delivery.
