UNIVERSAL POSTAL
CONGRESS- AT ROME.

Rome, April 5.-The Universal Pos
tal congress opened here today with
every country belonging to the Uni
versa Postal congress represented
The United States is represented by
Captain n NJ. Brooks, superintendent
Of foreign mails in the postoffice de-
partment, and Edward Rosewater,
proprietor of the Omaha Bee, who
was also one of the delegates to the
congress of 1897, which was held in
Washington, d. c.
One of three questions which will
probably come up for consideration,
is the adoption of universal postage
stamp. Mr.. Rosewater is opposed to
the plan, on the ground that, as the
stamps would be alike, 1t would be i'm
possible to strike a balance, for there
would be no way of telling where the
stamps had been purchased.
Another question, which will prob
ably come up for action, will be the
proposition to increase the weight OF
the letters. At present the weight of
letter carried by five-cent stamp
| is one-half ounce. This limit will
| probably be increased by the congress.
| Two other matters to be considered
are the parcels post and the perfect
ing of the international money order
system.

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
CONGRESS IN SESSION

New Orleans. April 5-The first
Mississippi Valley and Pan-Anierlcan
congress, which opened its session
here today, is the result Of many years
OF agitation on the part OF the com
mercial interests of the Mississippi
valley, in favor of securing a larger
share of the business which is carried
on between the central portion OF the
United States, particularly the Mis-
sissippi basin and the various coun-
tries of South and Central America.
For a long time the commercial or
ganizati ms of New Orleans and other
coast cities on the gulf have made
every effort 10 bring about concerieed
action of the various organizations,
with a view of increasing the com
merce with the I.atin-American coun-
tries, but their efforts did not have
the desired result, owing to a lack OF
organization. It was with the inten-
tim o. remedyiuS these conditions
that the combined commercial Organl-
cations of New Orleans decided TO call
together a congress of representatives
of the commercial and industrial or
gauizations of the Mississippi valley
II is the plan of The organizers OF
this movement 10 form permanent
organization unde" the name OF the
Mississippi YaNeyPan American as
saciation and to organize the move
ment on large scale.

NAVY PEOPLE ARE
BECOMING DIRECTORS

Washington, d. c., April 5.-Navy
department officials who have to do
with the personnel of the service are
much surprised to learn that any fault
is found with the authorities over the
issue of orders which transfers Chap
lain w. II. l. Reaney, of the Roman
Catholic church, from duty at the
Brooklyn navy yard to the yard at
Portsmouth, ~ H., where that officer
will be attached to the prison ship
Southery The assignment was re-
garded as a compliment to the chap
lain. and no one here dreamed for a
moment that 1t could be construed in
any other way. Any movement in be-
half of the chaplain on the part of his
friends in New York will be regarded
here as misguided and certainly with
out the authority, much less at the
instance OF Chaplain Reaney. He was
described by the officers In the bureau
OF navigation as one of the best and
most useful of the naval chaplains
and on This account was selected fol
duty with the prison ship where he
will get sea duty pay, and the worE
requires patience, discretion and in
dustry. Not every chaplain will dc
for such a responsible billet, and th'
fact that objection is made on th'
part of some Of the chaplain's ad
mlrers appears to the naval authori
ties here as altogether unprecented
II is not likely that the orders 10 tn,
chaplain will be changed, under tn
! circumstances. He was not seleCtet
/ by way Of punishment of any sort o
as a result of political operations o
any kind. It was his turn to ge
other duty, and his ability and recpr'
entitled him b the compliment o

i'm proportion to his fitness to MI th

DEPoslToRs IN. ALAMosA
BANK CAN'T RECOVER.

Pueblo, Colo, April 5.--Judge Riner,
of the United States district court,
today handed down his decision in
the Schiller bankruptcy case, in
which he decided that the evidence
was insufficient to show that Her
man Schiller of New York, was
director of the Alamosa bank. This
releases Schiller from liability OF
about 100000, which, as director, he
had been sued for by depositors. The
proceedings grew out of the failure
of the Bank of Alamosa, which was
owned by Isaac and Abraham Schif-
fer. The case today was to determ-
inc whether Herman Schiller, said to
be a wealthy man, was actually a
member of the banking firm. 1h
failure was most sensational. and
created much bitterness against the
Schiffers. Out of deposits aggregat-
ing more than 100000, less Clan
s2,5OO was found by the receiver.

NEW IMMIGRATION BILL
OFFERED THIS WEEK

Washington d. c., April 5.-The
house immigration committee will be
prepared to report an immigration
bill in a few days. providing for inn
portant changes in the laws. A sub
committee is now considering the doz-
en- or more bills before the committee,
and from this number a general bill
will be framed. Chairman Howell
hopes to have the bill, on the house
calendar this week. So far as the
committee has gone the bill reported
will be essentially different from the
recommendations of the immigration
bureau. The majority of the members
of the committee are in favor of a
mead tax of $500. This will, un-
doubtedly, be one of the provisions
of the bill. Another provision will
probably require that immigrants
shall have a certain amount of pocket
money with them, when they arrive
here. The amount now favored is
$50 for the heads of families. The
object of this provision is TO keep
out the pOyerty-stricken class, and
also to prevent violations of the con.
tract labor laws. There will also be
provision in the bill for an educa-
Sional test of the emigrants. Repre-
sentative Gardner of Massachusetts
is making a strong effort to have the
bill so framed as largely to restrict
the volume of immigration, but
other members Of the committee are
in favor of regulations insuring phys
iCal, mental and moral sOundness, re

MADAME GROSS Has
LEFT THE CITY
AND HER HUSBAND, J. w. MAS
TIERS, THINKS THAT SHE HAS
ALSO LEFT HIM.

On the limited passenger train,
Monday morning. going west, Mrs.
j. W. Masters, better known as Mad
anne Gross, took passage, and is prob
ably now, if all reports are true, in
Los Angeles as the guest of her sis
ter, Miss Jones, who is a milliner
of that city.
Since Madame Gross departure, ru-
mors have been put in circulation to
the effect that she and her husband
could not agree. and that she con
cluded to leave.
A representative of The Evening
Citizen called on Mr.. Masters, and
that gentleman, to questions, stated:
Yes, Mrs. Masters has left the
city, and | am under the opinion sne
has left me also. While she Is
most excellent woman. she was very
set in her ways and ideas, and in any
manner could not be persuaded con-
trary TO her wishes. Some time ago,
before our marriage, which occurred
only a month ago, | stood good for
grocery bill, and when | was seed for
the amount, although she told me
not to pay the bill, thought 1t best
10 avoid any further trouble to pay
1t out Of my own remittance from my
home in Missouri. When told that /
had paid the account, she became ex-
citable, and nervous. and said she
would leave. All persuasion could
not make her believe that such an OBJ
| legation should have been paid, and,
| instead OF becoming reconciled, she
packed mp her trunks and valises, and
without any further ceremony left the
! city. She had goods on nand for sew
! eral dresses from Albuquerque ladies',
! and these she returned, but she left
| without paying her bills, although she
took along with her $lO7 which we
/ had laid aside to pay our monthly OBJ
] legations"
About November 20, 1905. Madame
Gross arrived in the city from Santa
/ Fe and soon thereafter opened dress
making parlors in the new Armijo
| building. over the Phoenix dry goods
/ store, and being stunning herself, and
stylish in gowns, soon enjoyed a good
business. From the very start. Mr..
! Masters, who was then employed at
/ the McBrian Furniture company, paid
his respects and on March 3, a little
over a month ago, the two were join
! ed in the bonds of holy wedlock only
/ 10 be put asunder not by the inter
1 ference of a third party, but as Mr..

a committee room by some members
of the house.

on the subject of Morocco, and was
listening to the answer of Herr Bebel,
the Socialist leader, when he was
taken ill. The vice president imme-
diately adjourned the sitting for fif-
teen minutes, while the chancellor
was carried out and attended by the
physicians.
The chancellor began to regain
consciousness shortly after he had
been removed from the house. Prof
Rudolph Renvers, head of the Moab
ite hospital, reached the room some
time later, and after examining the
chancellor, said that he was suffer-
ing only from a severe fainting spell
the result of influenza, and that there
were no indications Of paralysis
which was at first feared. Won Bue-
low was placed on a sofa and was
soon joined by his wife. Emeprol
William came to the door later, bu;

AND CHILDREN SAVED

Greytown April 5.-The colonial
field force, which is concentrated at
Lampanza, twelve miles northwest of
Greytown, for operations against the
insurgent chief, Bambaata, deposed as
regent of the Greytown district, has
been compelled to abandon the laager
after heavy fighting, and has retired
TO Greytown.
The portion of the force sent to
rescue the women and children in
isolated places, succeeded in doing so,
but while returning was attacked by
the rebellious natives. A running fight
was kept up for six miles. Three of
the colonial police were killed and
several others were wounded. The
police report the rebels strong in
number but an attack on the town
is not considered likely, the Zulus
preferring to fight in the rugged
country outside. The British field
force numbers but few hundred, but
will be strongly reinforced during the
next twenty-four hours.
