Tn order to facilitate the collection
 and delivery of letters and packages in Vienna the Ministry of Commerce is engaged upon plan for an under
 ground electric railroad which would link together the chief district post
 offices of the city, sixty-four in all According to the plans which are now under discussion, the line would be built twenty-five feet below the sur face of the ground, and the tunnel would have a height or rIve feet and a breadth of four feet four inches The stations would be built underneath the lpostoffices The trains would run at twenty miles an hour, and would con- tsist of a motor and three cars, each carrying as much as the ordinary post van It is estimated that seven years
 would be required for the construc- ton of the line. While it would cost
 an enormous sum of money, in the long run the line could be operated for
 much less than the present horse and
 wagon service, while the mails could
 be handled in less than half the time
 now required for the purpose.

from their standpoint this will be very
funny. But they don't know me. I am
familiar with champagne and have no
prejudices against it."
The fate Of the joke was not decided
until 2 O'clock in the morning. At that
hour the governor was serene, genial,
comfortable, contented, happy and
sober, although he was so full that he
couldn't laugh without shedding cham
pagne tears. Also, at that hour the
last joker joined his comrades under
the table, drunk to the last perfection.

POINTS OF ORDER RAISED.
Proposed Amendments to Agricultural
Bill Ruled Out.

In the House yesterday afternoon Mr..
Crumpacker of Indiana made several
points of order against certain portions of
the agricultural appropriation BILL espe-
cially against those features which seemed
to him to change the existing pure food
law. so far as the question of review was
concerned. Mr.. Foster of Vermont who
was in the chair, turning to Mr.. Wads-
worth of New York, in charge of the bill,
asked: Does the gentleman from New
York desire to be heard on these points
of order?"
NO" replied Mr.. Wadsworth, '.all points
of order look alike to me-" remark which
evoked laughter. IF the amendments to
which objection are made continued Mr..
Wadsworth, are not in last years bill
then the points of order are good.
The chair sustained the point Of order.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota then offered an
amendment providing that no part of the
sum appropriated for the bureau of chem
istry shall be used for the payment of COM
pensation or expenses to any officer or
other persons employed by any state, coun-
ty or municipal government.
Mr.. Tawney said 1t was necessary to
carry out the national pure food law in
conjunction with state authorities, but he
thought that the national government
should not pay state agents.
Il hope the amendment will not be
adopted said Mr.. Wadsworth, because
it will cost the government very much
more than now contemplated by the ma
tional pure food law"
Mr. Mann of Illinois said the amend
ment proposed was in direct opposition
to the position generally taken by the
chairman of the committee on appropria-
lions, and If the amendment was adopted
1t would mean an increased cost for the
administration of the pure food law.
Mr.. Tawney remarked that if Mr.. Mann
had allowed the idea to go forth that the
enforcement of the national pure food law
was to rest upon both the state and gen.
eral government he would have had a
harder time to get the bill through than he
did
