immigration bureau reports that l,O26,-
400 persons arrived from foreign lands
to take up their residence In our coun
try in the last fiscal year. This is an
increase Of 213,629 over the preceding

OF future immigration will be Russia

Postmaster Generals Report.
Postmaster General Cortelyou in his
annual report takes the stand that in
all grades Of the service merit must be
the controlling factor in appointments
and promotions. Consequently fourth
class postmasters must hereafter be re-
tanned during satisfactory services. In
the case Of presidential postmasters
the rating will be guide in making
recommendations. The merging Of
u duo 1OUl LII GLASS; AAu1l 1AAAtLOA Of
the rate of a cent for two ounces is
urged, but not separate parcel post.
The abolition Of the franking system
for public documents is urged, each de-
partnent to be charged with the ex-
pense of it's mail matter. Various
economies in the rural delivery service
are suggested, including prerequisite
of 100 families on a twenty-four mile
route and a restriction of services to
not more than one delivery and collec-
ton daily Another reform proposed
is a simpler classification of all mail
matter as follows: First, letters; sec
ond, printed matter; third, merchan-
disc.

man with q red skim and that the next
