MORE SEA POsTOFFICES.
Service May Be Extended to All Transat-
lantic and Pacific Lines

Washington. Nav lo-Postmaster General Meyer
tonight announced that he is considering the add
visibility of extending the sea postoffces' at
least more OF the transatlantic steamship
lines. This branch OF the postal service has al
ready been established the White Star. the
Hamburg American and the North German Lloyd
lines and the experiment has proved highly salts
factory the postal authorities. In pointing out
the advantage Of this departure. the officials
say that che mail sent from the United States to
foreign countries and mail coming from Europe
this country reach their final destinations about
twelve hours earlier than under the old system.
Tho mail is assorted by the clerks aboard the
steamers and is ready to be turned over TO the
carriers for distribution when the steamers reach
port
The contracts for the extension OF the service
have not been awarded, but the Postmaster Cen
eral hopes to perfect the arrangements an early
date. The lines which the additional postofnces
will he established probably will be the Cunard
and the French Transatlantic II is the intention
Of the Postofice Department TO finally extend this
service to all the transatlantic liners engaged In
carrying mail between this country and Europe
It is also probable that in the near future the
service will be established on the Pacific liners.

LITTLE TIN NE4R MAYOR.
.SuliCan Clan Had a "Hunch," but
1t Went Wrong.

The hopes Of the Sullivan clan In and about the
City Hall yesterday first raised to an ex-
citing pitch and then dashed 70 the ground. It
looked for time If Little Tim would be
acting Mayor. This is the way it was The grand
jury threatened to ndict the Mayor Controller and
other members of the Board of Estimate and APP
poTtonment for failure to act the report of the
Courthouse Commission. When official is in
dicted for felony his Office becomes vacant. That,
according the Sullivan figuring. would have
bowled George B. Mcclellan from the Mayor s
chair, Mr. Metz from the Finance Department. and
Mr. MCGOWAN from the office Of President of the
Board Of Aldermen From that point forward the
plot thickened and became highly exciting With
Mcclellan and MCGOWAN out, Elias Goodman. Re-
publican. vice-president of the Board of Alder
men. would have succeeded MCGOWAN, and as
Little Tim controls the board would have been
easy TO fire. Goodman and elect Little Tim IN
his place. AS acting president of the board
Little Tim would be acting Mayor-and there
you are.
IL was a bright enough dream while Il lasted.
but the Board OF Estimate acted. the grand jury
did indict for felony. Mcclellan and Metz hang
10 their jobs and Little Tim'-well. Little
Tim went to the races.
