Road Succumbs Suddenly.
Alexander Johnston Cassatt, Presi
dent Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com.

Philadelphia Friday. Mr.. Cassatt had
been in i'll health for nearly year

ceived much Of his education on the

Evidence of the use the general pub
lie is making of the great Library of
Congress is to be found in the record Of
visitors to the building during the last
fiscal year. The visitors numbered
about $4,000. This was a daily aver
age of 2.243 in the 362 days on which
the library was open to the public. The
only days on which the great bronze
doors were closed throughout the TWEEN
ty-four hours were July D, the funeral
day of John Hay, July and Christ
mas. Almost a double force is required
for the building, which is open virtual
ly day and evening the year around.
The largest number of visitors in any
one day was 5,2S4, in April, and the
smallest 444, on one of the hottest days
ih July. An idea of the size of this Ii
brary may be obtained from the statiS-
tics for last year, which showed gain
in the number of volumes of 34,626,
bringing the number of books on the
racks up to 1,379,244. This total of
books, pamphlets, maps and charts and
pieces Of music added last year was

are the parcels post, postal savings

abolition of railway speed subsidies,
additional subsidies to South American

tai notes and the creation of a new
office, that of deputy postmaster gen
eral, with permanent tenure, who
would act as a sort of business man
ager for the entire service, besides GER
tain reforms in salaries and accounts.
The Postmaster General takes the high
ground tina, pOstmasters should not be
appointed as rewards for political ac-

Senator Hale of Maine made the
declaration that two-thirds of the rev.
enues of the government are now de-
voted to the payment of inheritances
from past wars and expenditures for
future wars. He called attention to
the arguments of the army promoters
that it was no use to have an army
unless you have guns and Notifications,
and now that $100,0O0,000 had been
appropriated for sea coast fortifica-
tons, the argument was, what is the
use of having guns and Notifications
unless you have men" Thus, he said,
it was the constant pressure of the
army to aggrandze itself first for men,
then for guns and then guns and then
men. On account of this vast expense,
Senator Hale said it was impossible to
get appropriations for the marine, for
river and harbor improvements and for
public buildings.

mines to be operated by employees or
leased on a royalty. 1t will be the first

becomes a stakeholder in private cor

to be twenty-five years, with option of
continuance or sale at the end of that
