Ordered by the Postal

Government Refuses toyBudge''and
Bitter Fight Is Certain.

Paris, May 1.-THE Chamber OF
Deputies, after a stormy session of foul
hours today, adjourned the debate or
the interpretations on the postal stu
alton until May 10. The response of the
postal employees was quick and de-
cisive. Within half an hour the fedora
committee had issued an order for a
general strike and the railway mai
clerks walked out in a body. An hour
later meeting of 5000 postal employees
at the Hippodrome took up the guage
of battle and unanimously voted to
strike. There was no great enthusiasm

ton to force the hand of the govern

The Flood of Laws.

Press dispatches carried out Of

ment from Col. ". NJ. Palmer, in
charge of the enrolled bills of the SEN
ate, regarding the marked increase in
the number of acts passed by congress
during the past few years. The Fifty
sixth congress, he declares, passed
1862 measures; the Fifty-seyenth, =
ST.; the Fifty-eighyh, 4,0i1; the Fifty
ninth, $40, and the Sixtieth, 9,111.
In ten years, il will be seen. the mum,
Der OF bills enacted Increased more
than 400 per cent, whereas prior to
that time, according to the same au-
fhority, the number OF measures en-.
acted into law varied little from con.
gress 10 congress. There is no data
at hand by which the merits and de.
merits Of this deluge of new legisla-
uon can be justly measured. Many
OF the bills, without doubt. were
CEASED as private legislation which
has increased enormously of late
years-bilIS TO pension claimants incl.

such mass OF legislation could have
been thoroughly studied or digestei
by the members of either house prior

Not the least of the benefits derived
from the rural mail by any means is
the responsibility it creates for the
maintenance of good roads in COM
munities that desire the service. At
Atlanta, Mo-, the government revoked
g rural route because the people
would not keep the roads along the
route in good repair. 1t is not possible
that there are many communities in
Missouri where the people would part
with their rural mail service rather
than exhibit the enterprise necessary
TO make the roads accessible for the
mail carrier. II it is understood that
there will be no mail service where
good roads are not maintained. as the
governments policy at Atlanta ap-
pears to indicate, then hail to the
rural mail carrier as the advance
agent of better roads and consequent.

sound came family through the trees
and he wondered what the unusual
noise could be. He rose to his fee,
still holding remnant Of food in his
hand, and waited for a repetition OF
the noise, which, borne on the breeze
was heard more sharply. Only once
before had he ever known that same
sullen bay, and then it was when as
visitor in southern village he had
seen pack of hounds followed by
excited men pass him in quest OF a
negro criminal. His memory harked
back to that time, and his hair raised
itself in terror, He threw away his
food and dashed madly into the woods,
seeking to escape that menacing un.
dertone which his consciousness told
him could have but one quarry. He
knew in an instant that the boy had
| betrayed him. and that he, Count
Seigo, a nobleman of Japan and de.
scendant Of the Samurai, was being
hunted by dogs like a wild beast of
the woods.
For few minutes he ran in panic
taking no heed of direction, and bent
only on gaining time to think, and put.
ting space between him and his pur-
suers. A tangle of underground COM
PEELED him to stop and seek for ave.
nues through the wilderness. He ran
down what seemed an old deserted
road; but on neither side could he find
place favoring change of course.
He was doubling back along the side
of triangle, and was so close at one
time to the hounds that he momen.
tarily expected them to break cover,

kerchief and cut across to where he
was. He could even distinguish the
shouts of the men behind, continually
encouraging the animals In the chase,
and heard one exclaim: ITS the Jap,
all right, or he wouldn't have lit out
so quick!"
His teeth came together with a click
at this confirmation of his suspicious,
and now he realized that wherever an
officer of the law was posted warning
had been given of his coming. He
swore that he would yet escape, and
urged himself in the name OF his
country to rush ahead; and thus for
many minutes the fate of Japan rested
on race between bloodhounds and a
fugitive who tore headlong through |
the underground, careless of thorns
which reached out and SCARED his |
face, ripped the false queue from his
short cropped bristling hair and rent
his clothing.
Once, blinded with perspiration, he
plunged into what appeared TO be a
pathway; but fell through tangle at
the end, to find himself beside way
side spring. He gulped three or four
swallows OF water and retraced his
steps, cursing fate for the loss Of
time, and ran with renewed energy
down the roadway. A fash Of re-
fected light smote him in the eyes,
and he saw that he had reached the
waters edge. At his feet stretched
only tossing waves, and like a stag at
bay he was driven to the open.
The end seemed very near now; for
