INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE RATES.
Why It Should Cost No More to Send Let,
ters to London Than to Manila

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir In 1874 the present ipterna tional letter pos
tage of five cents per one-half ounce adopted;
but since that time-thirty-one years ago-there
has no further decrease in the rate of sending
letters abroad In these thrty-one years the United
States has become another nation in its IDEAS,
wealth and population: but have not kept pace
with our other developments in the matter of let
ter postage. ,,,,.
We can send a missve from New-York to ~ManIla Mania
"a distance of some ten thousand miles-at doInes-
tic rates and vet we pay five cents for the privi-
lege of the mali London, the greatest city in the
world with which terms OF closest mt
macy, socially and economically. We are able TO
send letter to obscure mining. nanilet ~
Alaska for two cents, and yet beautiful Paris anu
magnificent Berlin have each a five cent rate.
Then, again, We are permitted a full, generous
ounce letter to the Philippines or Hawaii while
to Europe. Africa and most of Asia we nave 10
limit ourselves to a meagre half ounce.
This may perhaps be termed postal patrlot1srn
bur our world has now advanced along such broad
and progressive lines that and national boun-
daries should make no difference and the same
letter rates should be charged to Toxic or St Pet
ersburg as are charged the republic of Mexico or
the island of Cuba.

AMBROSE CHANNEL SOON.
Short Cut VAL Be Ready for Use
by Christmas.

There was much rejoicing in marine circles yes
Channel is to be open for navigation at the end of
next month. The statement that the Ambrose
Channel would be open to the largest ships afoat
by December % was made by First Assistant En-
gineer Babcock, of the United States photographic
Survey yesterday on board the revenue cutter
Manhattan to a party OF seven Republican Con-
gressmen.
The New-York members Of the House River and
Harbor Committee who inspected the channel yes
terday were Charles T. Dunweu Charles B. Law.
George E. Waldo, William NJ. Calder, Herbert Par
sons ]. Van Vechten Olcott and William S. Bennett.
With the party was Captain F. H Newcomb, of
the revenue cutter service
The party boarded the revenue cutter Manhattan
at the Battery in the morning and, after going
through the part of the channel that is finished
went on board the giant dredge Atlantic where
the work that still remains to be done was pointed
out to them. The channel when complete will be
forty feet deep and a thousand feet wide. 1t will
cut of a distance of five miles from the present
route taken by ships of great depth. and will be
future.
After luncheon was served op board the Manhat
tan the Congressmen went to the. Brooklyn Navy
Yard, where they were received by Admiral Cog1-
said last night that all well pleased with the
work that had been done. .
For many years the large shipping interests In
and around New-York City have clamored for the
channel The scheme seemed such a large one
however that for some time 1t was not thought
practicable When it shown that it was prac-
ficable the dredging was let out 10 contractors
and the government assisted in the work.

MAY BE CANNIBAL VICTIM.
Brother of Er-Justice Ingroham
Lost an South Pacific.

Friends of young David Ingraham. brother
of ex-Justice James II. Ingraham fear that he
has been devoured by the cannibals of
explored island in the South Pacific which he
and party Of Western scientists started TO
explore four months ago. Nothing has been
heard from him since the party left Mexico. and
his family have grave fears for the safety of the
expedition but hope that the runors which
have reached Long Island may prove unfounded.
David Ingraham lived at No. 30 Grand-ave,
Astoria. Long Island with his brother, the ex
justice. He associated with his brother in
the Ingraham Yarn and Dyeing Company, and
went with the expedition in search Of sec
tons of the Pacific where certain dye stuffs
can be obtained. There were five men in the
party. Mr.. IngTaham Joined it in Mex
leo. whence. after plunging into the interior of
that republic, they sailed for the island. which
is said to be inhabited by fierce tribe addicted
TO cannibalisrn-
The party is not believed to have been
equipped properly for such expedition and
would have small chances against the man eat
ing aborigines said to inhabit the island.
Friends of young Mr.. Ingraham said yesterday
that if he was not heard from relief
pedition would he organized. Ex-Justice IN
graham said that he had not heard from his
brother since he left but still hopeful that
he would return safe and sound.

SECRETARY ROOT AND CIVIL SERVICE
Preparing to Secure Some Changes in De-
partment of State.

Washington. Nov. 25-Elliott H. Goodwin. secre-
tary of the National Civil Service Reform League,
called upon Secretary Root to-day to invite him TO
deliver an address at the National League Conven-
ton to be held in Milwaukee on December IA. While
showing great interest in the subject, Secretary
Root was obliged to decline the invitation for the
reason that the date upon which it was
impossble to leave Washington without neglecting
public business and for the further that he
felt he could do effective work for the cause
OF Civil Service reform by addressing himself per-
sonalIy and directly to the committees of Congress
during the approaching session
The Secretary has given much thought to this
subject. and is preparing in the case OF his own
department to lay before Congress certain facts
which in his mind justify request for consid-
cradle increase in the number of employees; for
some rearrangement of the business methods and
for additional quarters. The State Department has
been obliged to cope with almost quadrupled duties
since 1897 without corresponding increase of force
and a considerable number of employees are now
obliged work far into the night to keep up with
the current work.

Sir. I have read with much satisfaction your
lust and lucid editorial, 'Norway's renascence, in
to-dav's Tribune It is a pleasant contrast to the
noudded editorial comments of some of your col
leagues on the recent political upheaval in that
country. The rulers Of the constitutional mon
archfes OF Norway, Sweden Denmark Holland and
ENGLAND are in reality nothing but presidents with
life tenure The citizens Of those countries enjoy
iust as much personal liberty as we do in the
United States, and their rights and privileges are
perhaps better safeguarded than they would he
under purely democratic government. AS for
civic pride. honesty, good morals and manners we
oe the United States have much to learn from our
friends the other side, who are still .in bond
age" While public stealing is almost unknown IN IN

and the United States lighthouse tender Mag
nolia. while the latter was conveying President
Roosevelt from New-Orleans TO the cruiser West
Virginia. was fixed on the Esparta by Cap
tains Kelly and Bean, the local inspectors, to-
day. Their report finds that Captain W. H
Fields of the Magnolia did not violate the rules
governing inland waters, and that the Esparta
caused the collision by starboarding and at
tempting TO pass the Magnolia when the Mag
noia's red light was in sight, and by answering
one whistle 10 the two.
The Esparta being d British ship, and Captain
P. F. Areoyo acting as her pilot, the inspectors
state that they have 40 jurisdiction over him
In connection with the collision.
The damage sustained by the Magnolia has
been estimated at 81, 600. and the United States
government, through its District Attorney here

UNE4RTH BIG FRAUDS.

IBy Telegraph to The tribune. J

Boston. Nov. 25.-Immigration inspectors here
have just unearthed immigration frauds of great
magnitude, the extent of which can only be
proven by further investigation now under way.
The frauds extend to New-York and other At
lantic ports. where immigrants are received, and
involve dozen Russian pedlers in New-York
City alone, with many more in Boston.
The scheme is extremely simple. These Rus
sian pedlers buy steamship ticketes in blank
from agents, send them to agents on the other
side, who I'LL in the names of destitute Jews in
Russia desiring to come here and then collect
the face value of the tickets, with about % per
cent interest in installments after they arrive
here.
The pedlers care for 1,500 to 1000 destitute
aliens month. Work is provided for them on
arrival and they are enabled to send for their
families by the method. The discovery
was made just in time to prevent a tremendous
influx of paupers next spring.
