turned from Washington, where he
conferred with the department officials
concerning the special weighing and
classifying mails going out Of tho Rich

cation of kinds OF mail handled through

Mr.. Cabeli says the work is very In
tricate, and though he has been given
some additional clerks to assist In its
prosecution. 1t will necessitate the clos
ing of outgoing mails at earlier hours
than those heretofore in vogue He
therefore asks the business men to
assist him In the work by placing their

IT Is reported from Washington that
President Roosevelt's Forthcoming tour
through the West will be "specta-
cular"; that he will make. many
speeches, and that he will take care
that Wall Street does not receive an
inkling in advance of what he will
say. But from the subjects of the va
rious discourses. as announced, the
general trend of the Presidents re-
marks Is not hard to guess.
At Canton, Ohio. for example. he
will dedicate tho Mckinley mausoleum.
and on that occasion he will probably
discuss the monumental frauds of
predatory corporations, and rattle the
dry bones.
AT Keokuk the President Will speak
at great social function, and race
suicide will doubtless be the topic.
From Keokuk the President, accom-
panied by twenty-three Governors,
will make journey down the Mis-
sissippi, and at St Louis, Memphis,
Cairo and other points he VIII address
the people on the. importance OF in
land navigation. In these addresses II
goes without saying that he will speak
at length on the wickedncss Of watered
stocks.

these tips to spectators in Wall
