PAYNE LAW WORKS SMOOTHLY.
Little Difficulty Encountered in Ad-
ministering New Tariff.

The Treasury Department is sending
out to the collectors Of customs in various
parts Of the country indexed copies of
the new tariff law for use in lieu Of the
copies sent out Immediately after the
passage Of the act which were not in
dexed.
Il have been greatly surprised at the
ease with which the new tariff law has
gone into operation" said Assistant Sec
retary Reynolds. the tariff expert OF the
Treasury. yesterday. I'VE expected 70
be overrun with questions, many OF them
silly. but the number Of inquiries com
Ing to US each day is little more than
we had under the Dingley bill
Il attribute the smOOthness OF the -op-
Grafton OF the Payne law he continued,
ito the fact that IL was enacted and
framed by a Republican Congress, fol-
lowing closely in form and phraseology
10 the former law. This is important TO
collectors who found little difficulty in
mastering the various schedules IN ad-
vance. Had a Democratic Congress re-
vised the tariff and upset the whole
thing. even the phraseology. there would
have been endless trouble for a long
time"

The Culloms had several fine residences
in Washington. the last one where Mrs.

pied by Thomas T. Bayard, Senator from

WILL SAVE QUARTER MILLION
Carriers Double-up While Mail In

Postmaster General Hitchcock says q
saving OF not less than $4,000 viii be
effected in the cost OF letter carriers

BY law post-oftice employees are allowed
fifteen days leave OF absence with pay
each year. Most Of the other employees
OF the government whether In the eX-
ecUtive departments al washington or
elsewhere, receive thirty days annual
leave with pay.
During the months OF July and August
the volume Of mail, IN the large cities
especially. IS considerably reduced. and
the department has taken advantage Of
this fact by requiring carriers 20 double
up" so that in some instances during
these two months two carriers served
three routes. This enables one OF the
carriers 20 take his vacation without ex-
pense TO the government.
