PROVIDE MORE DOCKS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. - In the
course Of the discussion at the cabinet
meeting some attention was devoted to
the subject of providing more adequate
docking facilities for large vessels of
war at places on the Pacific Coast. This
subject has become prominent in official
circles on account Of the decision to
send the battleship fleet to the Pacific
and the knowledge that the present
docking facilities are wholly inadequate.
San Diego, where the navy has coal
ing station, was regarded as the place
for the establishment of another large
naval base, but no attempt to settle the
matter was made as the general board
will take up the entire question Of addi-
tional navy yards on the Pacific Coast,
and will make an advisory report to-
the secretary of war.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3O.-Postmas.
ter.General George Won L. Meyer, at a
dinner at the Union League Club satur.
day. made an address In which he called
attention to recommendations which he
puhposed making in his annual report
for the consideration of the next Con.
grcss, On the question Of parcel posts.
he said:
Il shall recommend the same rate, IL
cents a pound, and the same limit Of
weight for parcels. whether intended
for points in this country or abroad,
which means a reduction Of cents a
pound and an increase in the maximum
weight to II pounds
Taking up the rural parcels post
question he said;
II shall recommend q parcels post
system on the rural delivery routes, a
special rate to be charged on packages
for delivery from the distributing offices
Of the rural route, or II mailed by q
patron Of any rural route for delivery
to q patron on the same route or at the
distributing Office Of said route The
rate would be 8 cents for the FIRST pound
and 2 cents for each additional pound
up to II pounds. This will be a great
boon to the farmers
Regarding postal savings banks, the
postmaster-genera said;
"As an evidence that IL Is not the de-
sire Of the government TO compete with
the private savings banks in obtaining
deposits Of the people. | shall advocate
a rate Of interest Of 2 per cent per an
mum, or per cent semi annually. and
a limit Of $780, not more than $3.50 to
be deposited in any one year. My own
belief is that, far from its being detri-
ment to the established banks, II would
be, in the end, an advantage. Now. In
order to get this money back into the
channels Of trade, ! propose to ask con-
gress for authority to place the savings
In the national banks"

SALEM, Or, Oct. 30.-The Governor

The Governor has been searching the

Considerable criticism Is being ex-
pressed as to the hurried action Of the

him, yet they feel that the situation

Vice President Fay of the Cal

Railroad announces that, on or
about September 10, it is the in
tention of the road to inaugurate a
double daily service on the Victo-
ria division in recognition of the
necessities of the forthcoming

dispatch. This announcement oc-
casioned quite a surprise, COM

The additional train will operate
between Houston and Victoria,
making connection with Port

may travel and material may be
shipped from both of these points
at an early hour in the morning to
reach Houston at an early hour in
the afternoon; the corresponding
train leaving Houston in the after
noon and going as far as Victoria.
The exact figures have not been
positively determined. but the
which has practically been
evolved will give the people on
the Victoria division all they have
been asking for and probably more.

ImpOrtatiOns from Mexico.

Fall and even spring importa
tons from Mexico are now begin
ming to move through the United
States and prospects point to an
unusually heavy year of imports,
according to the statement OF
Deputy Collector of Customs EN-
NETT Rountree, who spoke of the
matter to a reporter for the Ex-
press.
Mr.. Routree says that for seve-
raj weeks importations from Mex
leo have been very short but now
business is awakening and within
a few weeks he expects the custom
houses along the border to have
.big rush.
One firm in this city has just
received shipment of straw hats
valued at $4,000. These hats were
bought while the market was low
and before the European and New
York merchants got into the mar
ket. New York merchants pur-
chase many more Mexican straw
hats than do all Texas merchants
combined and therefore there is
a great demand for them when the
season opens, said Mr.. Roun-
tree.
Gust at present there is slight
movement of Mexican pecans,
beans and Chill pepper into the
United States. Within a few
weeks this movement is expected to
grow brisk aud soon the importa-
ton of these goods will reach
thousands of dollars in value.
From statistics in the Office of the
Collector of Customs Chill pepper
IS by far the heaviest imported ar
xicle from Mexico during this sea-
son. There are as yet only a few
american drying plants that have
learned to dry the pepper; conse-
quently il must be imported from
Mexico. Importation also show
that a great deal of Chill pepper is
imported by Northern merchants
and their importations are increas-
ing yearly.
Though Chill pepper is the
main article that Texas imports
from Mexico during the fall sea-
son. pecaus and beans are also
imported in large quantities. The
consumption of Mexican beans
along the Texas frontier is said to
be almost as great as the eonsump-
ton of that article of food along
