lords, without division, adopted the
resolutions of Lord Lansdowne, the

and decided to send them, together
with Lord Roseberry's plans for the
reformation of the membership of the
lords, to the house of commons. The

A PARTIAL PARCELS POST.
Postmaster General Hitchcock Will
Make This Recommendation

Washington, Nov PA limited
parcels post for rural free delivery
routes will be recommended by Post
master General Hitchcock in his forth
coming annual report. In announcing
this the postmaster general said he
forsaw the establishment of a general
parcels post throughout the country as
soon as the postal savings system is
thoroughly organized
AS the preliminary step in the de-
velopment of such a service, Mr.,
Hitchcock will ask congress to au-
thorize delivery on rural routes of par
cells weighing as high as eleven
pounds, which is the weight limit for
internal parcels post, This form of
service can be conducted with little
if any additional expense to the gov
eminent A rural parcels post, if sue
cessful, would probably lead the de-
partment to attempt a more general
system.

RED LIGHT LEADER
BURIED WITH HONORS
CUBAN ARISTRoCRACY TURNS
OUT TO FUNERAL OF NO.
TORlOUS SLAYER.

Havana, Nov. 25.-Not since the fun
eral of Maxine Gomez, in 1905, has
Havana seen such a tremendous dem
onstration of popular sympathy and
respect as that which attended the
funeral of Alberto Yarini leader of
the Cuban white slave traders, who
was slain Tuesday in fight between
rival gangs of Cuban and French slave
traders.
The funeral procession was led by
police escort in command of General
Riva, the chief of police, and a band
following the hearse, drawn by eight
horses. Then came wagonloadS of
flowers. In the procession were many
thousands of persons including hun
dreds of gaudily attired women of the
town, committees OF negro voodoo So
cieties, all the elements of the red
light" quarter and delegations from
various political and commercial bod
les. There were also 100 carriages,
containing the representatives of the
best society in Havana, high govern
ment and army and navy officers.
Despite Yarini's notorious disrepute
and his notorious leadership in the
white slave traffic in Cuba, he had
held the position of a popular idol as
Havana's exponent of anti-American,
ism since his assault on J. Cornell Lar,
Ter, charge de affaires of the United
States delegation in 1906.
The newspapers without exception
laud Yarini as an illustrious Cuban
patriot.
