With warlike cargo, the liner Asia,
flying the Pacific Mail flag, arrived here
yesterday morning from San Francisco
after an uneventful trip down from the
Coast. The cargo of the Asia is all
destined for Manila, and, according to
Frisco paper, will be used in "pro-
tecting the Philippines from foreign in
vasion.' The government freight in
cludes 40 submarine mines for the
protection of harbors. In the cargo
of the Asia also is a consignment of
about 100000 pounds of rifle cart
ridges and a large shipment of empty
fiveinch shells.
Flies Pacific Mail Flag.
The o. and o. flag, which has been
favOrite on the Pacific for nearly for,
~ years, was hauled down in San Fran
cisco for the last time on the Asia. and
in its place the red and blue striped
emblem of the Pacific Mail COMPANY
was hoisted to the mainmast head. The
Asia S smokestack, heretofore a yacht,
like yellow, has been painted black,
and altogether the little liner that is
so well-known on the Pacific Ocean is
about as close copy of the Pacific
Mail boats as paint will make her. che
Asia has been under the management
cf the Pacific Mail company for some
years past, but the Occidental and Ori.
entail Steamship Company had at last
a theoretical existence until the flag was
removed.
The o. and o. company was formed
in 1872 by the Central Pacific Railroad
to operate in opposition to the Pacific
Mail company. Later on a combination
was formed whereby the two companies
and the Togo Kisen Kaisha ran on
a joint schedule. The Persia. sistership
of the Asia, is at present laid up at
Hongkong. The Asia, which sailed
from here for the Orient yesterday af-
ternoon at four clock. is now an inter
mediate passenger ship, with nothing to
recall the old days but the British flag,
which still floats over her stern. 1t is
for this reason that the coastwise ship
ping laws are in force against the Pa
cifc Mail boat.
M H Hunt Is Purser.

been master of the vessel for many

Comparison of Distances.

Another important reason is the differ
ence in distances The bulk of the
mail matter. and particularly that which
Is registered, has short haul in
England and the continental countries
Only a fraction of ! per cent of the
registered matter is sent outside of the
country, and, therefore, the business can
be handled at much less expense than in
the United States, where our distances
are so great.
In England or Germany, for example,
registered package can be carried from
one end of the country to the other at
one-fourth or one-fifth of the amount
1t would cost to carry the same package
between New York and Chicago.
II is true, as Mr.. MARBLE states, that
the deficit in our postal service. which
amounts to several millions of dollars
every year. is almost entirely to the car
riage of large quantities OF second-class
matter at unremunerative rates. 1t is
difficult to see how that can be pre-
vented.
The department has ruled out of the
second-class almost everything except
newspapers. magazines and other legiti-
mate publications, and continues to carry
them at less than the actual cost of
transportation. Congress can increase
that rate by amending the law. but would
thereby antagonize the entire press of
the country, and particularly the rural
newspapers, dailies and weeklieS, which
are carried entirely free of postage
within the limits Of the county in which
they are published.
1t can scarcely be expected that any
congressman would voluntarily uncOrk
the walls of wrath which would naturally
follow such legislation. and at the same
time expose himself to the charge of
placing tax upon the diffusion of
knowledge

He SAYS that the Norwegians grind up

Registered Mail Fee.

George MARBLES of the Cudahy Packing
Company Of Omaha writes as follows:
IL would like to call your attention to
the increase of the registration fee In
the post office from eight cents to ten
cents. 1t now costs twelve cents to send
a registered letter from Chicago to Lon
don, whereas the same letter can be
sent from London to Chicago, or any
other city in the United States, for
one-half that sum.
THE registration fee In Great Britain is
but four cents On the continent of
Europe it ranges from four to five cents,
and I'm Canada 1t Is five cents
"As is well known. the deficit in the
post office is due almost entirely to the
carriage Of large quantities OF second
class matter at unremunerative rates. I
fail to see why the public at large should
be taxed to do So"
The reason for the recent increase in
the registration fee is given by Mr.. Mar
Piles in the last clause of his letter. It
is intended to make the registry service
self-supporting, that the public at large
need not be taxed for the benefit of the
limited number of people who send letters
and packages by registered mail.
The reason why Great Britain and the
continental countries can maintain a reg
istry service at lower rates than the
United States government Is because of a
difference in distances and difference
in salaries and other expenses. The
officials of the postal service in those
countries receive less than one-haf the
salaries that are paid in the United
States. The railways and transportation
companies are not paid more than half as
much for the transportation of the mails,
which is possible because Of the differ
ence in their pay rolls. The only way
in which our registry service can be
made self-supporting Is to increase the
fees accordingly.

Franking Privilege Costly.

A considerable part of the deficit is due
to the franking privilege, enjoyed by
executive, legislative and judicial officers
of the government, and to the free trans
portation of thousands of tons of public
documents issued by Congress and the
several departments for the information
of the public.
Many of these documents are never

FALLEN LEAVES.


Red DER the forest peers the setting

The line of yellow light dies fast
away
That crowned the eastern copse; the
chill and dun
Falls on the moor the brief Novem-
Der day.
Now the tired hunter winds a parting
And echo bids goodnight from every
glade;
Yet wait awhile, and see the calm
leaves float
Each to his rest beneath their par
ent shade.
Soon Ger their heads blithe April
hours shall sing,
A thousand wild flowers round them
shall unfold
The green buds glisten in the dews Of
spring,
And all be vernal rapture as of old.
Unconscious they in waste Oblivion
lie,
In all the world OF busy life around
No thought Of them; in all the boun-
teous sky
No drop for them, OF kindly infiu-
ence found.
Mans portion is to die and rise
again
Yet he complains, while these un-
nurmuring part
with their sweet lives, as pure from
sin and stain,
AS his when Eden held his virgin

.ELLIOTT'S WATCH
STOLEN IN FARGO
HEAD OF NORTHERN PACIFIC
LOSES JEWELRY WHILE EN-
JoYING BATH IN APARTMENTS
AT THE GARDNER HOTEL LAST
NIGHT.

While Howard Elliott, president of
the Northern Pacific railway was en-
joying a bath in his apartments at
the Gardner hotel last evening, some
sneak thief entered the sleeping apart
ment, stole a valuable gold watch and
made his escape undetected. Presi-
dent Elliott was in the private bath
room which adjoined his room. The
door to the apartments had no been
locked.
Besides his watch the railway mag
nate left other valuables, including a
considerable sum of money on the
dresser. 1t was not till he returned to
the bed chamber and about to retire
for the night that he discovered his
loss.
The police headquarters were noti-
fed and Capt. Louis Dahlgren re-
sponded. Then the case was gone over
carefully and the conclusion was
reached that a bell boy is responsible
for the theft.
President Elliott and his party ar
rived from the east last evening in a
private car attached to No. 5. The
party left this morning on the South
western line.
The watch that was stolen was one
given to President Elliott by his
mother and is highly priced. It was
rumored this morning that q consid-
cradle sum of money was also taken.
1t is claimed that this was not reported
as the loser would be willing to suffer
the loss, providing he could recover
the watch.

Grade Crossings Must Go.

American cities are Kidding them
selves Of railway grade crossings.
There are general laws against them
In only about ten states. Massachu-
sets has required their abolition
within fifteen years, the road paying
81 per cent, the state 26 per cent, and
the locality 13 per cent. New York
found in 1906 it had 6,793 unprotected
crossings and 1,94O with gates, or
S,733 in all. These are being remov-
ed by the state paying 25 per cent,
the city rs per cent, and the railroad
SO per cent. In New York and Brook
lyn the city can contract with a rail-
road on the half and half basis. In
Providence, r. L, grade crossings were
eliminated by the road paying two
thirds and the city one-third. Phila-
delphia now has more grade crossings
than Greater New York.
