POSTAL UNION SHAFT.
international Commemorative Monu-
ment To Be Unveiled at Berne.

Washington. Sept 96.-In comnemoration OF the
founding Of the International Postal Union
monument will be Unveiled at Berne Switzerland
on Monday OF next week. The cost OF the monu-
ment will be 10000 francs $4,000. the amount
having been contributed by the various countries
constituting the International Postal Union Brutus
Clay. the American Minister az Berne will repre-
sent the United States.
The weight % the United States mails dispatched
abroad was not tsbulated until 1876 when II aggre-
gated l,oa0.Oes pounds annuslly. The cost to this
government then was s7s5.75s. In 1908 the amount
OF mail sent abroad by this country reached the
immense total OF 1857 T5s pounds-sn increase OF
four times in volume. and the cost 20 the govern
nent was about three times as much as Il was in
is76-or g. s7SslI.
Until 1888 mails with foreign countries were ex-
changed under. conventions negotiated between the
United States and each country separately. An In-
ternationai conference on postal affairs vas pro.
posed by Postmaster General Blsir in 1852 and IN
May OF that year an international postal commits
sion" met at Paris Costa Rica was the only coun-
Try represented outside OF Europe save the United
States.
The commission had merely conferentiai powers
but the principles Il developed made possible the
second international conference OF 1874. which
founded the Postal Onion. This congress was con-
Eened on the proposal OF the newly founded Ger
man Empire The volume of the mails became so
great and the various rates and conditions con-
fusing that reform becare necessary and was
finally accomplished by new conventions all en-
bodying practically the same conditions and fixing
lower and more uniform rates
The improvement in the rervIce was 50 apparent
that IL suggested further possible improvements
the result being the assembling OF the general
postal congress at Berne In 1874 which agreed upon
UNIFORM postage rates end uniform Intermediary
transit rates 20 be put in force among tho coun-
tries represented
The congress az Berne was followed by those AT
Paris IN 1878 Lisbon in 1854. Vienna in 1891 Wash
inston In 1887 and Rome In 1906
Cnoer tho Berne convention Of 1874 an internA-
uonal Letter rate OF postage was fixed At cents
the half ounce. and that continued until 1867,
when, In accordance with the action OF the con-
gTess at Rome, the rate reduced 20 cents for
the nrst ounce ald cents for each additional
