The Postal Service to the

ESTIMATES ARE S193,O00,00O.
Expenses Reduced Where They Can

Is Contemplated.

Washington. Nov. 2i.--Postmaster-
General Cortelyou recently completed
and forwarded to the secretary of the
treasury the estimates for the post
office department for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1907 They show a re-
duction of expenses wherever It is be-
ileved il will rot impair the service,
but provision for development Of pos
tai facilities to meet the growing needs
of all sections of the country.
The estimates for the postal ser
vice at large including the field SER
vice aggregate Sl93, OO00 00, an increase
over last years appropriation Of about
$2nO00,000. This increase represents
the normal growth of the service based
upon what the postal authorities re-
gard as the most careful and conserva-
tive estimates. Each succeeding year
sees a large increase IN the business
of the department. The principal items
IN the increase are the rural delivery
service. railway mail service. compen-
sation TO postmasters and their clerks
and the compensation OF letter car
riers.
For the maintenance of rural de-
livery service and its proper extern
sion over $29,0000O0 will be required.
This is an increase of $500, 900 over
the appropriation for the current ye-r.
which in turn Is over S5,000000 mos
than that of last year so that the pres
ent estimate is 81 100000 less than the
increase Of the present over the pre-
ceding year.
That the extension of the pneumatic
tube service is contemplated is shown
by the fact that the estimate carries
1922 600 more than the current appro-
priation.
The deficit for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1905, was Sli572,5Si
This amount, the difference between
the expenditures and the revenues Of
the department." it is officially an
nounced, may be said TO represent
the actual cost of the postal service
to the people. If recent calculations
are as accurate as they have been fre-
quently IN the past they afford good
reason for believing that the deficit
for the year ending June 80, 1906 will
lie considerably less. II is an interest
lag fact that The total revenue for the
fiscal year 1905 exceeded the total eX-
penditures for the fiscal year 1904 81

SHAW WILL WAIT
A LITTLE LONGER
He viii Not Quit Cabinet Until
Congress Has kd-
journed.
ON PRESIDENTS REQUEST.
Retirement of Atty.-Gcn. Moody and
OF Sccy. of the Interior Hitch
cock in Contemplation.

Washington. Nov, 20.--secy Shaw
viii remain as secretary Of the treas-
ury I'm President Rooseyelt's cabinet
until the conclusion Of the approach
ing session Of Congress, and perhaps
for several months longer.
It has been understood. IN a tenta-
tive way, that Secy Shaw expected TO
retire from the cabinet about the first
Of February next. or sooner, with a
view to greater freedom in promoting
his candidacy for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination IN 1908, although
the secretary himself never has an
nounced his intention to be a candidate.
President Rooseyers attention was
attracted 10 some recent publications
that SeCy. shaw had presented TO him
his resignation. to take effect next
February or perhaps earlier and today
he had conference with the secretary
about the matter After their inter-
view It was announced that. at the
urgent request Of the president, Secy.
Shaw had consented 10 continue as Sec
rotary OF the treasury until the close
Of the approaching session OF Congress.
and perhaps some time afterwards.
Secy. Shaw's decision to continue as
q member of the Cabinet detracts ma
terially from the Importance Of some
stories published recently that the pres
ident and his secretary ~ the treasury
differed radically on financial matters.
The president entertains high regard
for M shaw. both personally and Of
ficially.
At least two other changes in the
cabinet have been in contemplation,
but it can be said nuthorltatiyely that
they will not occur soon Atty.-Gen.
Moody having formed a law partner
ship In Boston, expressed a desire TO
retire from the cabinet last July. The
president persuaded him To remain for
another year and hopes 10 induce him to
remain I'm the cabuet until a. year from
the 4th Of next March. or until the
close Of the Flfty-ninth Congress He
has not yet received q definite answer
from Mr.. MeoIy on that point.
SecY. Hitchcock Of the interior de-
partment also has indicated his wish
10 leave the cabinet before the conClu-
sion OF President Roosevclts term OF
Office. But he has Informed the presi-
dent that he will remain with him
through the present fiscal year and
perhaps longer No intimation Is given
OF the Identity Of the successors to Mr..
