Great Growth
Is Predicted

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA mem
Der who serves here as long as the
speaker OF the house has been in con-
gress will see the receipts and eXpedi-
lures of the pOstoffice department as
large as the entire expenses of the
government today" declared Chair
man Weeks of the committee on post
offices and post roads, in explaining
estimates for the postal service in 1911
when consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bill began in the house
! today He will see the number of
employees, which now exceeds the for
ces engaged at Gettysburg by so per
cent, increased to a million men," con-
tinued Mr. Weeks.
Mr. Weeks said that if the postal
service were a private business those
/ responsible for its success probably
would find the right man TO manage
it and would pay him $4,000 a year
Eearding the difference between
rates charged the government for pos
tai service and that charged express
companies, Mr.. Weeks said require
ments of the government were much
more severe than those Of the express
companies.
THE probabilities are that the pay
of railroads is substantially near what
it ought to be- said Mr. Weeks.
There are members of the commit
tee who believe the pay on some rail-
roads is less and on others greater
than it ought to be-
No comparison could be made be-
tween postal service in the II. S. and
Canada, he said, because of the diff

for service on the government rail-
roads of Canada Second class matter
in Canada has been placed at quar-
ter of a cent pound with view to en-
couraging the publication of periodi-
Gals. he said
Interrupting, Representative Sims of
Tennessee, said he took exception to
the statement of the postmaster gen.
eral that the net annual loss to the
government on the rural free deliv-
cry service was $2S, 100000. Mr.. Sims
complained of the method by which
the postmaster general had estimated
the revenue derived from the rural
free delivery.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The Uncle
Joe Cannon matrimonial agency is in

Freeman's Journal of Dublin tomor-
row morning will say:

emphasis that the Irish party has not
budged a hairs breadth from the
policy which John Redmond has laid
down. Unless the government speed
lily produces veto scheme and pressed
it to an issue, the Irish party Will
enter upon a policy of vigorous oppo-
sition to the government with the re-
suit that the ministry either will b.
defeated in few days or will be con-
tented to exc out contemplate ex-
istence by the aid of Balfour's sup

Freeman's Journal further explains
that it was not out of consideration
for the government that the nation

cause they did not desire to commit
themselves to a tariff reform or tC
take a step that would divert the is

groups daily are sending Populations

days being much more numerous than
1t is al present 1t is represented to-
day by huge heap of ruins, and tradi-
ton tells that it was destroyed by seven
other -Hopi villages. which combined to

and two or three seasons of serious
scarcity of rain suggested the idea
that AWatobi was a municipal Jonah,
so to speak 1t was declared to be a
city OF sorcerers, and doom was pro-
nounced against il.
The Night Attack.
The attack was made unexpectedly
at night, when most of the men were
engaged in religious ceremonial in a
great underground chamber, called a
"kiva-" The ladder, by which access TO
the chamber was gained, being plucked
up from above, those inside could not
possibly escape. The assailants threw
down lighted bundles of greasewood and
soon the place below was a mass of
flames Red peppers, for which the vii
lage was famous. hung in thick clusters
outs de of the houses. These the at
tackers crushed in their hands, fIinging
them into the fire to further corment
the burning men. The rest of the in
Ia bitants were afterwards massacred
near the gate of the town, only the
children being allowed to live.
Such is the story as preserved by the
Hopf. In order to find out whether It.
was true or not, DR.. Walter Fewkes, of
the government bureau of ethnology,
made extensive excavations at Awatobi
not long ago He found the underground
chamber, the bottom Of which was COW
cred with great quantities of human
bones; and there was also a great heap
Of human bones near the gate OF the
town.. where the massacre is said to-
have taken place. Thus it would ap-
pear that the account of the tragic 1
event, as given by the Hopi, is literally
correct.
The Zuni Indians.
The Zuni, in New 4nexico. dwell in
much the same manner as the hopi, oc-
cupying similar towns of stone and sun

by agriculture. Nevertheless, they are
not in any way related to the Hopi,
and even speak a different language.
