 WITH EElIAND Agreement : Joes Into Effect October ]. FORM RESTRICTED UNION Believes That the Receipts Will
 Increase. England Welcomes the Rate, as it VIII Increase Mutual Good Feelings
 Existins Between the
 Two Countries.
FORM RESTRICTED UNION

Washington. June 3-Postmaster General Myer announced today that an agreement had been reached with the British Government providing for a letter postage of 2 cents an ounce between the United States and Great Britain and Ireland to become oper- ative October 1, 1908. He stated fur ther that the British Postmaster Gen. eral. Sydney Buxton. was making a like announcement to the public to- day. The matter of penny postage" as 1t is called in England. has been under consideration for some time and as far back as last July President Roosevelt approved Mir. Myers course in urging a restricted union with England."
 On October 1. 1907, the universal postal union, which governs the inter national postal transactions of the va rious civilized countries. reduced the rate of letter postage from 5 cents a half ounce fiat to cents first ounce, and 3 cents for each additional ounce, which is the present rate between the United States and Great Britain, with which we have direct stamp communi cation. and is also the rate between the United States and countries with which we have to pay an additional charge to countries through which 1t passes in transit. Under the articles of the universal union. however. any two States can form a restricted union. Examples of the restricted unions are those now existing which permits cent an ounce letter rate between the United States and Cuba, the United States and Panama and the United States and Canada.
 ' Postmaster General Meyer believes that this reduction in the rate of post age to the United Kingdom ultimately will result in an increase In receipts, because 1t has always been found that d reduction of the letter rate resulted finally in increasing the revenue. He Is also of the opinion that lower postage will lead to freer commer- s.xid. are increasing tlsAir sales In Eng land and must rely to . great extent upon the mails for orders and inr crease of trade. Further" he said, .this will be great boon to our adopt cd and English speaking citizens. and their connections here, particularly those of limited means, as 1t will en- able them to keep up correspondence with the people of this country
 London. June a.-Penny postage be- tween America and Great Britain will become effective on october 1 of this wear. The rate will be the same as between Great Britain and her colo nies,, one penny @ cents) per ounce. Postmaster General Buxton, in an- nouncing this agreement in the House of Commons today expressed his con- fidence that this would greatly in- crease mutual good feelings now hap piiy existing between the two coun- tries. The announcement of the Post master General was greeted with hearty cheers.
