RURAL CARRIERS SALARIES
Have Been Advanced, Over Two. third,
Getting 500 a Year.

Washington. July 1S.-The new
salary schedule for rural mail carriers
has been completed. The new schedule
applied from July l. The last Congress
raised the maximum salary from. $500
to $50 year. 1t was found that the
maximum route was "a miles long and
to carriers on routes OF this length.
numbering about 12.0O0, the maximum
salary will be paid. The salaries Of car
ricrs on routes shorter than the maxi
mum was fixed by deducting SIS for
each mile less than "a. The result has
been that slightly over two-thirds OF
the whole force of 245OO rural carriers
have received increases of 500 a year
in their salaries. The remaining carr
r;ers have received increases Of less
than this amount.
This schedule takes into considera-
ton the expense for equipment. Thie
makes what is stated to be liberal
allowance for such expenses to carriers
on routes less than the maximum
length. 1t leaves about the same app
preparation available for new service
during the coming year. that the de-
partment had during the last fiscal
year.

appear to be human hairs.

ton Of the President. who desired to
consult with him regarding some i'm
portant matters relating to the cam

other speeches. but the two referred to
will De made at the express wish of the
President.
On account Of the very disagreeable

recreation. He transacted much pub
lie business in his library with Secre-
tary Loeb.

sion t. the United States from foreign
countries of musicians who come here

sisted of j. n. Weber, president Of the
Federation of Musicians and f. Smith,
president of the Musicians Union of

President that by the admission of mu-
sicians who come here under contract
a serious hardship is worked against
all resident professional musicians and
they urge that the contract labor law
ought to be construed as to exclude
musicians precisely as contract labor
ers are excluded. The President prom
ised to take the subject up at once with
Secretary Metcalf Of the department of
commerce and labor
The President received. today, a tel
egram from the Anthracite Coal Min
ers' convention called. yesterday. in

About Time to Settle
Disposition Of Wreck.
Cuba Grants Contract 10 Man
to Raise Wreck M
But He Is Informed That Congress
Alone Can Dispose of Uncle Sans
Interests in Any Of His Vessels,
Afloat or Sunken.

Washington, July 1S.-Regarding the
proposition that the old battleship
Maine be raised In Havana harbor.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling
has addressed the following letter TO
r. H.. p. Sewell of New Orleans, who
addressed the department on the sub
jeCt:
. Referring to your letter of, July 1,
stating that You have contract with
the Cuban government to float the
wreck of the battleship Maine In the
Earbor of Havana, and requesting in
formation as to whether the United
States government has any claim upon
the wreck. you are Informed that on
July l, 1902, the department stated its
position respecting the wreck Of the
Maine in the following language:
This department is not at present
engaged in and does not contemplate
undertaking any work upon the wreck
of the Maine. 1t is not considered.
however, that the navy department
can. with propriety, in such case, give
a letter or other paper which would be
~ the nature of credentials to be pre-
scented to the Cuban government; nor
is it understood that any executive de-
lartment of the government has the
fower in behalf of the United States to
abandon the wreck of a public vessel.
THE disposition OF the public prop
erty of the United States rests with
Congress and this department would
not undertake to give an acquittance
ralinuIli Sb of
United States in the wreck Of the
Maine Cor the obvious reason that Con-
Fress might thereafter at any time, by
enactment direct that different dis
position therof be made"

Echoes of the political conference in
New York City appeared in the unusu-
al activity of the judges telephone,

conld be learned as to whom he talked
with. or the subject of the converse
ton.
Judge Parker declined to say any
thing about the published story that he
had invited Charles F. Murphy. leader
Of Tammany Hall, to come to Rose
mount, and that me latter had declined.
There is good reason, however. to re-
gard the story as devoid Of fact.
1t Is we'll understood here that Judge
Parker. Mr. Sheehan and their friends
have no idea of affronting Mr., Muir
ply in any way. 1t is known that
Tammany is to have more than nomi-
nal consideration. but there is no rea-
son TO suppose that any direct over
lures have as yet gone forth from
Rcscmount Definite steps Of several
kinds have awaited the results of to-
