rural free delivery carriers in the United
States are to receive salary increases.
as result of decision reached by
Postmaster General Hitchcock. He will
thus provide for the disbursement dur
ing the current fiscal year of 1900, 600.
which will mean an increase of 500 over
the present salary of 5000 for all car
riers on standard routes with proper
tionate increases in shorter routes.
Congress provided last session for the
expenditure of this extra 81, 900. 900, but

additional burden which may be placed
on them. il the parcels post system he
has recommended for rural routes is ap-
proved by Congress.

Clark Losing $l42.OS A Day

The extra session Of Congress is now
costing Speaker Clark Sl42.0s day.
This loss began July l., and will continue
so long as other members of the Senate
and House who are not stars on the
lecture circuit insist in talking reciproc-
ity, the free list and tariff revision.
If there had been no extra session
Mr.. Clark would have gone with a Chi
cago lecture bureau on July l. The
Democratic party, however. insists upon
revising the tariff. and Speaker Clark,
therefore, ceased to think about the
SLAP. 0S day as soon rs the House pro-
gram was agreed upon. Throughout
the sizzling summer he will listen to
free oratory in the House chamber rath-
or than dispense the paid-for-kind on the
lecture circuit. This performance may
continue well into August. in which
event there will be deficiency of Mr..
Clark's might-have-been purse of some
thing like $4,000.
