POstOffce Building.

One Of the concessions which was obtained BY
the government from the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in the purchase OF a site for postoftlce
building over a part Of the Pennsylvania terminal
SD street and Eighth avenue. as a result OS the
urgent recommendation OF Postmaster Wilcox.
was that the government should have the right 20
connect the building with any subway built IN
Eighth avenue. II is probable that the posfoft.cs
building at the Pennsylvania terminal VIII be IN
use several years before there Is a subway IN
Eighth avenue. but Mr.. WIIlcOx said yesterday
that such a subway would be oe immense a17van-
tage 90 the postal service In the city.
BY the time the Pennsylvania terminal Is in use
Mr.. wilcox estimates. more than two thousand
bags Of mail day viii be carried to the city BY
Pennsylvania trains. Subway mail ears would en-
able the department 20 distribute the NAH quickly
as all the pOuched man could be transferred Dr.
rectly from the Pennsylvania mail cars % subway
mail cars and sent TO the GensTal POstoface or 70
the Produce Exchange branch. in the basement OF
the new Custom House
A subway mail service also would hasten tre DIS
patch OF outgoing mails over the Pennsylyaala
lines Mail cars could be loaded at stations along
the subway and unlOaded directly into the Per1syl
vania mail cars az the terminal Mr. WILCOX yes
t-rday said he thought lt would be apparent that
the hixheSt development OF the postal servlce 81
the city would depend largely on subway mail

MURPHY AT WORK ON HIS FENCES.
Spends Day Consulting with Local and Up
state Leaders.

Charles Francis Murphy. Of Tammany Hall, spent
considerable time at the Wigwam yesterday
suting with district leaders and holding telephone
talks with upstate Democrats. Among the Demo
Gratis north OF the Harlem there is some anxiety TO
know just when Mr.. Murphy is going to call the
meeting OF the Democratic State Committee TO elect
'Packy' McCabe OF Albany. state chairman. No
date ixsd yesterday formally, but, since that
lies entirely In Murphy's hands and he has
nnitted himself to day before July Is is believed
that he will name day early next week.
Probably he Will make known his choice soon after
the Fourth
Four vacancies in the committee, caused by
deaths. will be filed at this meeting. Three Of
those chosen will be upstate men, and the prediction
Is made that they will be friendly TO McCabe. The
one from New York seems likely TO be Murphy
man.
The Murphy agents say there is no doubt to
his control OF the state committee and ability to
elect McCabe chairman. but few of the upstate
committeeman want date fixed promptly. They
TO argue that unless some quick action is
taken. he may find that he has lost strength, both
in the city and up the state.
The Tammany leader willing to talk poll
tics yesterday, at least details as definite as the
naming of possible candidates He was asked
what he thought about the prospects of District At
torney Jerome Judge Gaynor and the others whose
names have been mentioned.
81 see a great deal in the papers about Mr.
Jerome Judge Gaynor and lot Of Others" he an
swered. 81 have opinion TO express. but it is
good thing for the party to have lots of candidates
believe we will nominate a winning ticket this
year"
Borough President Ahearn visited Murphy for the
first time in several weeks.

FOOD INSPECTION AT MANCHESTER.
House of Commons Advances Bill Conferring
Special Powers.

London. July 2-The bill giving the port sanitary
authorities Of Manchester special powers for the
inspection OF all food products conveyed to Man
chester by the ship canal passed its second read
ing in the House of Commons to-day. Some Of
the Manchester members opposed the bill, contend
ing that unless the inspection enforced
at all British ports it would unfairly penalize the
Manchester ship canal John Burns, president Of
the Local Government Board however, pointed out
that other ports already had similar powers. and
that the bill was necessary in order that the peo-
pie might be protected from foreign importers OF
bad meat. The recent Chicago meat packing scan

ruspt in favor of the bill.

WHEN CONGRESS ADJOURNED.
Discrepancy in Dates by Two Houses Mere
Legislative Fiction.

Washington. July 2-The discrepancy in the OFF,
cal dates of the adjournment Of the two houses Of
Congress caused some discussion at the Capitol to-
day as TO whether this would affect legislation
passed on the closing day. The journal of the
House shows that that body adjourned on the 18th.
while the Senate journal shows that the upper
branch adjourned Eon June 80 This arose from
the fact that when the House convened the
9Oth it was still proceeding under the legislative
day Of the 18th a result of having taken recess
on the night Of the 29th Mr. Courts, clerk Of the
House Committee Appropriations, said that a
similar case arose years ago, and that the
Controller of the Treasury decided that the seeming
diffcrence in the dates of adjournment legts-

The following telegram from It's

Of the Chicago Tribune Jan. 20. 1905:
"senator McCumber the other day
gave to the Senate a hint as to the
reason for this opposition by the
packing house people. He quoted a
report from the food commissioner Of
his own State, North Dakota, which
hit the packers between the eyes. ana
which apparently explains why they
have been opp ssing the pure food bill

article Of interstate commerce and ~
such could be regulated only by the
federal government. This North On.

est trace either Of chicken or turkey.
Furthermore. Il was put up by
packing establishments which have nG
facilities for killing fowls and which
do not provide them. The cans, how.
ever, were labeled 'potted chicken and
