Attempt to BE Made for Cheaper

Attempt to BE Made for Cheaper
Rate at World Congress.
London, March 2l.-Advices from
Rome say that the proceedings of the
World Postal Congress, scheduled to
begin in that city today, may be de-
layede few days to await the arrival
of some the foreign delegates. The
congress will be attended by represen.
tatives of all the countries within the
postal union in Europe, America and
Australia. Former Congressman Loud,
of California, has been designated to
represent the United States government
A determined effort will be made at
the principle Of universal penny post
age. Sir Joseph Ward, postmaster
general of New Zealand, will move a
resolution declaring its desirability.
He will be able to speak with the
authority of personal and official ex-
perience, New Zealand having estab-
lished for itself penny postage not only
within its own borders, but by sea-
borne mails.
Five years ago, when the last postal
conference took place at Washington,
the representative of Great Britain
proposed universal twopenny post
age. This failed to gain general &C.
quiescence, but the apostles Of uni
versal penny postage now look forward
with sanguine hope to the result of the
Rome conference.

BIG SHIPS STRIKE
LINER NEW YORK COLLIDES
WITH TROOPShIP.
=. 4 o. Steamer Assaye Narrowly
Escapes Being Sent TO the Bot
tOm.-Lady Cairns Sunk in Col
lisiOn--Crew OfTwenty-TwOW Were
Drowned.

Southampton, March 2l-The Amer
lean Line steamship New York met
with two mishaps yesterday, grounding
off Cape La Hague, France, in the
early morning and later coming into
collision in the English channel with
the Peninsular & Oriental steamship
Assaye, under contract to the British
government and used as troopship,
bound for Bombay with 500 troops on
board.
The New York grounded while APP
preaching Cherbourg at 2:3O in the
morning during fog. The sea was
smooth. however, and the tide was ON
the flood, and within an hour and
half the vessel was f1oated without as
sistance. Her bottom was damaged
and thrre WAS water in the holds, but
she was able to proceed.
During the voyage up the channel
dense fog descended. When off Hurst
castle, England, the Assaye suddenly
appeared, and it was found impossible
to avoid collision. The New York's
bow crashed into the Assaye's star
board bow, tearing a great gap in that
vessel. The New York bowsprit and
figurehead were carried away and the
latter was smashed into fragments.
There was great excitement on both
vessels.
The boats of the Assaye were lower.
ed and the troops were mustered, but
the bulkhead of the troopship saved
her. The vessel was able to enter
Southampton and the New York was
locked at $3.50 o'clowck for temporary
repairs. 1t will be imosspible to esti-
mate the damage to the New York un.
til she has been placed in drydock. 1t
is believed that both vessels have been
somewhat seriously injured.

Senate Committee Serves Notice on
Alaska Promoters.
Washington, March 21.-The senate
committee on territories has taken &C.
ton which practically serves notice on
railroad promoters that they will lend
no sympathy to wildcat railroad
schemes in Alaska. The members of
the committee are heartily in favor Of
all legitimate projects for railway con-
struction in the far North, but do not
wish to be placed in position Of aid
ing stock jobbers' schemes or of as
sisting fake projects at the expense of
honest enterprises.
The committee has reported against
the proposed extension of time for the
construction of the so-called Akron,
Sterling and Northern railroad and
against the bill to grant government
aid to the Valdez, Conper River and
Tanana railroad. There is no longer
any doubt that congress, at least an in
uential part of it, is opposed to rail
road subsidies in any form.
