POSTMASTER GENERAL MEYER
REPORTS LOSS IN THE DE
PARTMENT.

Washington, p. c., Nov. 3o.-Post-
master General Meyer, In his annual
report for the fiscal year ended June
so, 1908, gives the total receipts for the
year as $208.35LSS6. showing deficit
OF S16.S73,222. the largest in the his
tory Of the department. with an ad-
ditional loss from fire burglary, etc, of
S37056. The deficit OF 1909, it is es-
timated again will exceed $4,000, 900.
Attention is particularly called to q
number of improvements in business
methods of the department as tending
to its advantage and the saving of
considerable amounts. Recommends
ton is again made for the creation of
the position Of director of posts, at a
high salary, and who shall hold office
during good behavior the object being
to have a continuity OF policies for the
benefit of the postal service and the
people OF the United States.
The necessity for good roads is
pointed out in connection with the de-
service. 1t Is suggested that should
Congress grant the department author
ity to Utilize rural routes still further
by the establishment Of a limited par
Gel post confined entirely to rural de-
livery routes it would then be possible
to earn additional revenue amounting
to millions of dollars. and at the same
time benefit the farmer by enabling
him to have merchandise delivered
when ordered by telephone or postal
card, which otherwise would not be
| purchased.

Paris, Nov. 30. The minute details
of the death of President Faure and
the scene in the room where he ex.
pired in the company OF Madame
Steinheil are being fagrantly publish
ed by even the republican papers. Up
to the present time this incident in
the career of Madame Steinheil has
only been referred to covertly. The
royalist and anti-Dreyfus organs are
demanding a national investigation
into the death of M. Faure and init
mate openly that M. Faure, as the in.
superable obstacle to the leaders of
the Dreyfus agitation, was the vic
tim of a plot. They have put forward
the old allegation that M. Faure in
tended to yield to the petitions Of the
Dreyfusards, and sign an order for
the revision of the case, and that
consequently he was poisoned.
| The only reason to believe that M.
Faure did not die a natural death is
found in the fact that his body decom-
posed with unusual rapidity and to off.

five of the best known physicians oil

away, seems unfortunately to be true
and great regret is expressed that cir
cumstances have now compelled the
disclosure to the world of this ole
scandal which the Faure family ano
the friends of the former presiden,
thought was buried with his body.

New York, Nov. 30.-ResuIning his
testimony today IN the governments
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
company, John D. Archbold, vice pres

about the Villas, Keith and Chester
agreement of 1879 Archbold said
the agreement was made as a simple
method of holding the property in in

told of the trust agreement of 1882
and said all shareholders Of the
Standard and benefciaries Of the
Villas, Keith and Chester agreement
signed the agreement Twenty trust
certificates We're issued for each sin

| THE capital stock of the Standard
was three and half million dollars, f"
said Arcbbold. "but plants and prop

the formation OF the Standard Oil
thrust, saying 1T was done as a simple
and effective form of holding the

"We were advised by counsel" he
continued that neither the Standard
Oil Co, of Ohio, nor any other corpo
ration could effectually or safely per

were restrictive OF the rights of cor
