general to the effect that there is a
large deficiency in the postal APP
preparations due to the growth and
extension of the rural delivery
service, calls attention to the very
great increase in the service in
Arkansas. Although not so large
as IN other states, it has assumed
no lnconsiderable proportions in
Arkansas, and is growing very
rapidly.
The report of the department on
July l, 1899, showed that there
were 39l routes in the United
states, at a time when it was still
IN an experimental stage, and of
these four were in Arkansas, two
being at Stuttgart and two at
Clarksyille. The appropriations
for the service in the United States
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1899, was $3.50, 600. There are
now 24,566 routes in operation in
the United States, of which 146
are in Arkansas. The expense
for the service for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1904, was S12,-
6S1, 1853 and the amount appro-
priated for the current year is
$40, SIG, 600.
There are eighty-one points in
Arkansas at which there are rural
service, Texarkana having five
routes, the greatest number for
any one place. There are several
with four and three routes. There
Is carrier and a substitute car
rier for each route, and their aver
age salary is 500 a month, the max
imum being S720 a year. All the
carriers in the state are paid
through the Little Rock postoffice,
and about 81, 900 a month is now
being disbursed as salaries. The
carriers report to the fourth as
sistant postmaster general. So
far only seventeen postoffices have
been discontinued in the state to
be superseded by the rural SER
vice, not SO many as one might
expect. 1t is estimated that the
carriers pay about half the ex-
pense in the collection of mail
along their routes, which would
otherwise pass through the coun-
try postoffices, the compensation
of the postmasters being based up
on the amount of stamps cancel
led by them. The average length
of the routes is twenty miles, and
one round trip is made daily, serv-
ing an average of 500 families.
Arkansas is in the st. Louis di-
vision of the rural route service.
One inspector, Samuel Kahn, is
kept in the field here examining
and making recommendations with
reference to applications for the
establishment of new routes. Each
application is referred to the de-
partment, which refers it to the
congressman from the district in
which the place is located, and af-
ter his endorsement it goes to the
Inspector for his action. There
are already great many applica-
tions in his hands which have not
vet been acted upon. An applica-
ton for third route out of Little
Rock was referred to him about
three months ago, and no report
has been made upon it yet.
All that is required of the pa
irons of the service is that they
purchase and put up standard
mail box, which costs usually about
9. 1t is also required that the
roads be first-class. 1t is this pro-
vision that has made the number

'of the Askold, the Nov.k, the Czarevitch

Inc German foreign Office has given
instructions that the uninjured Russ an
warships at Using Chou must leave Pert
within "a hours.
The Japanese system of communication
has heretofore been SO perfect that there
can be little doubt that the government
is thoroughly informed of the position of
the various vessels of the escaped fleet
and will be able to either drive them into
neutral ports or attack them with over
whelming force. There seems no possible
likelihood of the Russian fleet succeed
ing in getting away. The japanese have
everything well in hand and all ports
are blocked by their feet.
