OUT FOR THIRD TERN
Warner Makes Authentic First
Announcement OF Ills lntcn.
tions in Interview.
SAYS PLATFORM IS KNOWN
Wants People to Nave Chance to
Pass on His Difference With
Opposition Senator's.

A Detroit dispatch says: Governor
Warner will be a candidate for re-
election. The first authentic an
nouncement was made by him Fri
day in an interview He made il
clear that he will be a third-termer
and declares that his platform has
been made public through his recent
messages TO the legislature.
1T is months too early to begin a
campaign for. next years primary
nomination said the governor AT
the proper time, however, shall be
candidate Nothing has entered in
to this decision more than the posi-
tion taken by the 10 senators in oppo-
sition to the legislation demanded by
the people want the people OF
Michigan to have an opportunity to
pass upon the differences between the
opposition senators and myself in all
hiatters at issue
Il have no doubt OF the verdict OF
the people. Notwithstanding the fact
that am reliably informed that the
10 senators and their two outside
leaders are making a determined ef-
fort to induce two or more new can
didates to enter the race in the hope
OF 80 dividing the vote as to throw
the nomination into a delegate con-
vention 1t is known that their adj
vances have been rejected by some
gentlemen. and it is my opinion that
even il they succeed in lurins others
into the race they viii not succeed
in accomplishing Their object
While may call attention 10 other
matters and issues later. | think that
my several messages to the legisla-
iure during the recent special session
constitute all the platform necessary.
! stand fairly by every statement in
those messages"
Governor Warner continued: In
stead of not giving my last message
to the legislature full publicity. which
seems 10 have been the desire OF the
10 senators when they expressed the
! hope that after mature reflection
would withdraw IT, would very
much prefer to have every voter in
Michigan have before him for careful
consideration copies OF both the mes
sage and the resolution which the "a
senators adopted after hearing the
message read.
In these resolutions they dodge al
reference. to the contents of the mes
sage and simply indulge in viiupera-
ton, thus admitting the snugncss of
the ht OF the coat which they prompt
" proceeded to put on. They did not
even ieebly attempt to deny the
iruthfulncss of any statement
made"

Pursuant to instructions from the
post office department. last week all
mail originating with each post Office
had to be counted Some interesting
figures have been obtained from Dep
.uty Postmaster Fink regarding the
number of pieces handled in the local
office. 1t is well TO bear in mind that
these figures only include pieces that
originate with this office The total
number oi originating pieces for
the week was o.74a divided as fol

letters sent out by postmaster on Of
fetal business. so The total revcn-
nc from the outgoing mail was SIo5.-
3 and iirst-class postage contributed
SI4SSo of this amount. Second and
third-class postage make up most OF
the balance
On July Ist an order was issued To
all postoffices to weigh all outgoing
mail. which Is TO continue until Jam
uary J.. 1903. l.ast week. in addition
to the weighing. came the counting,
which eniailed large amount Of ex-
ira work
An investigating commission was
appointed at the last session OF con
grcss to determine the cost OF hand
ling the various classes of Uncle
Sans mail, hence the work above re-
fcrrcd TO- For some time there has
been considerable agitation in favor
Of reduction Of 6rst-class postage
rates. with a possible raise on some
other classes.
Deputy Postmaster Fink points out
that last weeks business was some
what below the average. The re-
ccipts from outgoing mail are gencr-
ally around the $27s mark. instead OF
as low as $Ios. last weeks receipts.
About 1000 pieces of mail are hand
led daily in the Alma post Office.

Channels For New Zealand.

An Austrian warship visited New
Zealand last year. It's officers were
handsomely entertained and presented
with variety of local products and
curios. In recognition Of this hospi-
taIity the Emperor Francis Joseph has
made a gift Of eight chamois to the
colony, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
The transportation of the animals to
the other side OF the globe was a risky
undertaking, but it has been success
fully accomplished. The passage be
tween the tropics was the crucial stage
Of the voyage, but the channels were
carefully shielded from the heat and
emerged without any loss save a tenn
porary one Of appetite. New Zealand
has snowclad Alpine heights, where
they will soon feel perfectly at home.
