MONEY ORDERS FOR HUNGARY.
A Supplemental Treaty Signed by the
Postmaster General

A supplemental treaty relating to the
money order business between the United
States and Hungary has been signed
by Postmaster General Wynne by the terms
Of which the rate of commission paid by
the country of origin to the country of pay
ment is reduced from one-half of l per
cent to one-fourth of per cent All class
es of international money orders are includ-
ed in the terms of this treaty and at the
saIae time a reduction is effected in the
fees charged for the use of money orders
in the United States as well in Hun
gary.
In this country the fees are reduced to
average from eight cents to fifty cents,
whereas formerly they ranged from ten
cents to 81. The money order business with
Austro- Hungary is said to amount to be-
tween 100000 and 81 100000 year, and it
is believed here that under the new treaty
this amount will be increased. The rate
Of conversion of the money orders also is
charged, the rate fixed being one Hungarian
crown, which is the equivalent of 20.4 cents.
Heretofore the rate of conversion has
fluctua ted.

Gallon, Wholesale, Will Prevail.

Roberts. H. B. Pancoast. j. Diamond, E. L.

plan and scope of the organization it
represents 1t was stated that the associa-
ton of producers and shippers had come to

hereafter In matters which may arise af-
fectlng the business of producing milk.
Mr.. Roberts stated to reporter for The
Star that milk would be furnished the deal
ers In the District this winter at the general
rate of Is cents gallon. There might be
a few, he added, who viii sell at a slightly
lower rate, as they have already entered
into contracts, but it is his opinion there
Will be more producers who will receive a
greater amount than Is cents a gallon than
there will be of those who will fall below
that figure. vs7

Dealers and Producers Association states

beginning of the progressive repast thus
accomplished, all hands Of the dinner party,
including the hostess serving the oysters,
would repair to the next house on the list
and enjoy the soup. The soup partaken of,
the party would pick up the hostess serv-
ing the soup, and then all hands would
drive to the next house in the scheme, where
the fish would be waiting. And SO on down
the line, until the coffee and nuts and raj

The ingenious plan has now been adapted
to the requirements of folks who haven't
any more private dinner invitations than
they know how to dispose of. 1t has been

President and Republican Leaders
Have Reached No Decision.
Washington, Nov. 16.-No decision
has yet been reached by the president
and other Republican leaders regard
ing possible action of congress on the
subject of the tariff. It can be said au-
thoritatively that no decision will be
reached as to such action either at a
regular or at an extraordinary session
Of the 59th congress until the subject
has been considered thoroughly by the
president and his cabinet and his po-
litical friends in congress. The presi-
dent is not bound by any precon-
ceived views on the subject, and is
open to conviction as to the most de-
sirable course to pursue. He is not in
clined to favor an extraordinary ses-
sion, either for the purpose of taking
up the tariff OF any other subject, but
it is said to be too early yet even to
indicate the determination which will
eventually be reached.

NEGRO TORTURED AGED WOMAN
Burned Her Feet With Lighted Candle
When Refused Money.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-Mrs. Mary
Ross, widow of a Civil War soldier,
was tortured and otherwise brutally
treated by a negro, who forced an en-
trance into her home at Bridgeport, Is
miles from this city, and demanded
her pension money and yaluables. The
woman, who is about 20 years of age,
was alone in the house, but resOlutely
refused to obey the intruder. Persist
ing in her refusal, the negro bound her
hands and feet and tortured her by
blistering the soles of her feet with
lighted candle. Still she resisted, and
then the negro searched the house. He
found nothing, and in his rage he
struck the helpless woman with a
chair, rendering her senseless. She
was found by a milkman, who notified
the police. Because of her age, the in
juries Mrs. Ross received are serious.
if not fatal. The police have no clue
to the negro.
