An American Accidentally Brushed
Against Them and Affair Nearly
Ended in a Duel.

A well known member of the Ameri-

day last week and in the jam happened
to brush against two Mexican gentle
men, well dressed and of distinguished
appearance. One of them, after a few
tense words with his friend, turned to

the Mexican Herald. The American,

when he did and continued to address
him as before Calling a friend who
was passing he asked him to act as
interpreter. Then he discovered that
the two men thought he had insulted
them by brushing against them and
they asked for satisfaction. The Amer
lean got mad He told the two gentle
men that he would meet them, one
after the other, at any place, with any
weapon, and would give them all the
satisfaction that they could possibly
want. With that the American hand.

gentleman and would not insult them
under any circumstances.

amount expended for this purpose in
the preceding fiscal year. Large as this
expenditure has been, the benef1cent
results attained in extending the free
distribution of mails to the residents of
rural districts have justified the wis
dom of the outlay. Statistics brought
down to the LIST of October. 1904, show
that on that date there were 27,138 ru-
raj routes established. serving approx
imately 100000 Of people in rural
districts remote from postofhces. and
that there were pending at that time
1850 petitions for the establishment of
new rural routes. Unquestionably
some part q the general increase in
receipts is due to the increased postal
facilities which the rural service has
afforded. The revenues have also been
aided greatly by amendments In the
classification Of mail matter and the
curtaflment of abuses Of the second
class mailing privilege. The average
increase In the volume Of mail matter
for the period beginning with 1902 and
