THE POST OFFICE BILL.
Aggregating $780,
1sO,561 Agreed Upon in Committee.


Appropriations aggregating 5000 $50. 561 are
carried in the post office bill recently
agreed upon by the House committee on
post offices and post roads. The post office
APPROPRIATIONS for the current year were
s191 $50, 800.
Cuts aggregating S1OOOO.OO0 have been
made by the committee in payments to be
made to railways for carrying mails and
for the use of cars. A straight cut of $780,
coo coo is made through a reduction in the
rate per ton to be paid on heavy mail
routes; a cut of $1,O0O,OO0 is made in the
rent to be paid railways for postal cars; a
cut estimated at 81, 600, coo is made by elimi-
mating the weight of mail bags from the
weight upon which railways are to be paid
for carrying mail, and a probable cut of
about S., 100000 will result from the decision
of the committee to have the daily average
mail over routes ascertained by dividing the
weekly weights by seven. instead of by six
as is the present practice:
Representative Murdoch of Kansas has
been the leader in the movement to have
seven used as the divisor in obtaining the
recommend that this change be effected
by emitting the word working before the
word days in the present law. The ex-
preston working days" has been response
BILE for the system which has caused so
much criticism.
The committee considered the postal COM
mission report on second-class mail matter
but decided not to incorporate any of it in
the appropriation bill with the exception
of a recommendation that a commission
consisting of three senators and three rep
resentatives be named to make full in
vestigation of all departments Of the postal
service suggested in recent report
made by The commission.

FOR SHORTEST ATLANTIC LINE.
Halifax Bay Scheme to Be
Taken Up in Parliament.

LONDON, February THE Daily Mail
prints the announcement that the scheme
that has been much talked of lately Is
now about to be carried out for bringing
Montreal within five days of London. The
leading points of the project are, first, the
establishment of service of twenty-five
knot steamers. which will make the passage
between the Irish coast and Halifax in
three and half days: second, the construc-
ton of new railroads from a point to be
chosen on the Irish coast to connect with
existing Irish railways, and third, the es-
Establishment of train ferries between Irish
Scotch and English ports, so lhat steerage
passengers will not have to change cars
and freight will be carried without re-
handling.
Tormon, small village on Blacksod bay,
has been chosen for the new port and rail-
way terminus. Blacksod bay is not only
the point nearest to Canada, being only
21OO miles from Halifax, but II Is one of
the most magnificent harbors in the west
of Ireland. 1t has deep water. Wide en-
trance and sheltered anchorage. 1t is on an
unfreQuented coast which Will enable liners
to run at full speed through the fog belt
which commonly lies off shore, instead or
proceeding with the extreme caution that
is compulsory while navigating the Irish
sea from Liverpool or the channel from
Southampton and Plymouth
The distance from London to Blacksod
bay is G64 miles. which can be covered in
fourteen hours by way of Larne, while
from eighteen to twenty hours Will be al
lowed for the trip from Halifax to Mon
treaI. Notice of a bill sanctioning the new
railways will be laid before the govern
ment today.
II is estimated that the construction of
the railways and harbor works will require
three years, during which the steamers will
be built.
The promoters of the scheme point out
that by the proposed route Chicago can be
reached in six days and the Pacific coast in
nine days. 1t will probably attract a con-
siderable share of traffic to and from 4,ew
York With the improved steamers on the
Pacific mails from London can be delivered
in Japan in seventeen days.

MORE PAY FOR EMPLOYEES.
Question Of Increase squareiy Before
Congress.

The President and Secretary Taft have
both strongly recommended to Congress an
increase Of the appropriations for the pay
of the army, and the strong presentment
Of the necessities of the case made by Brig
adler General Funston, in the course of his
annual report. in which he shows that the
pay of the junior officers of the army in
California was actually less than that Of
ordinary mechanics in civil life, has at
tracted much attention Owing to the short
time remaining of the present session of
Congress it is probable that nothing can be
done in legislative way to relieve the sit
uation unless something in the nature of
bill.
A strong plea for the decided increase
In pay was today made by an army officer,
who has given much study to the inequali-
ties of the present system. He said:
Does Congress mean to raise the pay of
the employees of the government at this
session or not? And when we say employees
we mean to include in that term the officers
and men OF the army and navy and re-
lated branches.
1.-THE question is pertinent. Congress has
raised its own pay one-half. and that of its
Of could be met by tine
former rates Of pay. This reason Is excel
lent; the remedy applied, logical. 1t Is
more than logical, it Is approved by the
peOple. but IL Is d QueSlAou INV ioHS ills
approval will last, il the Congress, having
remedied its own needs, should turn deaf
ear upon those whose needs are just as
great as its own and whose remuneration
Is far less. If it be but an act of mere
justice for the members of Congress to in
crease their salaries in a ratio commensu-
rate with the increased cost of living, is 1t
not equally an act Of justice to do SINH
lar thing for all the other servants of the
government? =
I'VE take it that the soundness of the
views herein expressed will be admitted by
the Congress; but at the same time We d.
rect attention to the fact that what is want
ed is not academic admission of a principle,
but action. 1t appears to US that the Con-
gress is fooling with this question. 1t is
meritorious question; else why did Congress
raise it's own pay? 1t is a just question else
why does not the country protest against
the Congressional increase? The session is
short and shortening; but the matter in
hand has been before Congress for weeks.
The matter Is not debatable, but even if it
were, it Is now thoroughly understood.
There is yet time to act, if the Congress
will. If it does not act does it imagine 1t
can escape the charge of gross partiality?"
