GROWTH IN POSTAL SERVICE.
Rapid Expansion and Big Gains in
Receipts.

New York Tribune
National prosperity is reflected in The big
gains made in postal receipts and in the
rapid expansion now occurring in the postal
service. Advance figures from the most
master generals report for l9A-'O5 indicate
that in spite of the recent vast extension
of the rural free delivery system the Post
office departments earning capacity is
steadily Increasing The postal revenues
for l04-'O5 were greater by s1OjO0.OOO than
those for l0lS-'O4, and outside the rural
branch Of the service receipts now balance
expenditures The money order business
for l9H-'OS reached a volume OF 81, Goa. OC0. oAo
"a gain of 20 per cent-and 500 100000 more
stamps stamped wrappers and postal cards
were used last year than in l9O3-'O4 We're
1t not for the deficit entailed by rural free
delivery the department could at present
more than pay it's way, and within the
next five or ten years might be in Il posi-
ton to recommend to congress some ma
terial reductions in postal rates.
1t is evident, however, that the rural
delivery has come to stay, and that the
expense Of extending it must be faced in
any calculations for the future The initial
cost of establishing new country routes
will continue to he serious drain on
extension is beyond question As a means
of education and OF national development
the rural free delivery experiment has
already proved its worth, and as The sys-
tenn grows it will become more nearly
self-supporting. Indirectly II benefits trade
by bringing the country into easy COM
municaton with the town and city, and II
does a further public service by increasing
enlightenment, comfort and eontentment
in the rural districts. The cities are per-
haps paying a little more than their present
proportion per capita of the cost of the
postal service; but the country's gain is
their gain also, and they will cheerfully
contribute to maintain and extend the rural
service until a new balance between re-
ceipts and expenditures can be struck and
both city and country can share In a gem
eral decrease in postal charges

PRESIDENTS REASONS.
Why Mrs. Mary G. Stone Was Made
Postmaster at Iuka

The following statement regarding the
nomination of Mrs. Mary G. Stone to be
postmaster al Iuka, Miss, was issued at the
White House yesterday:
Mrs. Mary G.. Stone. whose nomination as
postmaster at Iuka, Miss, has been sent
TO the Senate, is the widow of the late j. M
Stone, one of the most popular chief eXecu-
tives Mississippi had. He served as
governor for twelve years-a longer term
than that OF any other occupant of the Of
flee He personally confronted mobs where
ever they appeared in his state, and was
firm in upholGing the majesty of the law.
AS governor he offered reward OF S11o0
for the apprehension of the miscreants who
fired into a postal car, and publicly stated
while he was governor United States postal
cars should not be made the targets of as
sassins. He was a brave soldier and officer,
carrying to his grave the scars from wounds
he received in battle. He was gold demo-
crat and refused to accept a seat in the
United States Senate because the tender
had coupled with it the condition that he
should obey the Will of the legislature on
the money issue.
Mrs. Stone is worthy woman and will
ill eTcditably the position to which SHE has
been appointed.

COUNT CAssINI's VIEW.
It is Simply Riot of Striking Work
men.

Count Cassini. the Russian ambassador,
has had no official information from st.
Petersburg about the riots there, but in a
conversation last night with a correspon-
dent the ambassador, after reading the at
ternoon dispatches, said
Human life is sacred the world over
and nowhere more so than in Russia, but
it should be remembered that the public
peace is of predominating Importance and
vigorous measures are sometimes necessary
to preserve order. This is the situation in
the Russian capital: There is great in
+, dustrial strike in progress. Because their
demands have not been forthwith granted
the strikers, as strikers in every country
have done, have endeavored to storm the
emperor's own palace in the effort to gain
al audience with his majesty. The troops
then fired volley of blank cartridges and
on came the crowd. There was only one
thing else to be done, to fire with ball car
tridges. That stopped the strikers and
they fed in every direction.
There is a great deal of difference be-
cans will make great mistake If they In
fer from the unfortunate stories of the dis
turbances in the Russian capital that the
demonstrations are revolutionary, or even
hostile to the war. The love of great peo-
pie for their sovereign is not wiped out by
the cries of a few street brawlers. 1t will
be found when order has been restored that
the traditional and ancient affection of the

Support for Railway Tracks Over Po-

The excavation for another pier to sup
port the overhead steam railway tracks
from the new railway bridge over the Po-
tomac into the city was started yesterday
morning on the river front between 1919
and 14th'streets southwest. This pier will
be the third that is to be built at this point
and the taking of the earth from the hole
is being showed rapidly along. The exca-
walton viii go down to a depth of twenty
five feet and in the bottom of the hole
long piles will be driven, and these will
form the foundation for the cement and
broken stone base for the stone work of
the pier Work is advancing On the other
piers at this point. In one of the excava-
lions the cement and stone founda ton is
practically completed and in a few days
the laying of the heavy granite blocks will
be commenced. At the second pier big pile
driver is engaged in driving the last of the
piiing and the work of laying the cement

ISLE OF PINES.
Residents Object to It's Transfer tt
Cuban Government.

A joint resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Richardson (Tenn.) recites in it's
preamble that large number of American
citizens, acting on a proclamation of the
War Department that the Isle Of Pines was
territory of the United States, took up
their homes therein; that the Americans
resident on the island and those having
rights there will suffer if the island is turn
ed over to Cuba; that residents of the
island have petitioned the President that
they be not forced into an obnoxious ex-
patriation. The resolution provides that it
is the sense of Congress that it is unwise
to take any further steps toward consum-
mating the transfer of the island to Cuba
in exchange for naval stations until an in
vestigation has been made under direction
of Congress of the value of the island as a
possession of the United States, and the
condition with respect to the vested rights
of American citizens.
