Senators, Four Democrats,
Reach an Understanding
While on a Yacht Cruise.
RETURN TODAY AND

This Week Will See the Col

in the Senate.
(National News Associations

Washington, July 1O-Wearing a
handsome coat of tan that had been
acquired by their two days yachting
trip from Philadelphia around the
Capes, President Taft, and his senator
ial guests, arrived here on the May
flower this morning. The president
looked as if the rest from the eXces-
sive heat which prevailed on shore
when he left had done him much good.
The yacht arrived an hour ahead
of the time expected and for that rea-
son there were few on hand to greet
the president when he disembarked
After the Mayflower arrived it was
learned that plans had been formulat-
ed for the passage of the reciprocity
to allow an adjournment early in Au-
gust
Nearly all the senators on the May
flower expressed themselves in favor
Of Penroses proposition to bring the
adjournment on August II. The presi-
dent, too, would like to see congress
adjourn on that date and it is under
stood that eight senators on the trip.
Democrats as we'll as Republicans, will
work to that end.

LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
CARRIED BY GOVT,
Totaled Ninety-five Tons
During the Year Which
Ended on June 80.

1t undoubtedly will be of interest to
the pubffc~to know the amount OF To-
cal newspapers sent through the post
office during the year ending June so.
AS there are no magazine publications
in Richmond the whole amount can be
credited to the newspapers and is an
evidence that the local publications
are we'll read. The total amount in
pounds is 190,965. This is equivalent
to about 100000 copies If express
ed in tons it represents ,95 12 tons. I'm
Gle Sam is very generous in perform
ing the service of carrier for these
publications. Of this total amount he
carries 65,941 pounds entirely free.
the balance, 125.O24 pounds, are car
ried for one cent per pound. If ex-
pressed in tons, 33 tons go free and
62h2 tons at one cent per pound.
Uncle Sam is interested in having
his people informed on the affairs Of
the day and therefore performs this
service at a great loss financially to
enable the publishers to furnish the
papers at price within reach of every
one who cares to read. OF course, to
get at the entire total of the circula-
ton of Richmond publications it would
be necessary to add to the above the
papers delivered outside of the mails
by the city carrier boys and also the
interurban service.

PAVING WORK PROGRESSING

The work Of laying concrete side
walks on Church street is progress
ing nicely and it is probable that with
weeks more steady work the side
walks will be completed. The con-
crete sidewalks are being laid from
Broad street as far as Hampton Ave-,
and will probably be carried on as
far as Liberty street.
The people on North Church street
should congratulate themselves on
having the best looking street in town
and 1t would be a good thing If the
citizens on other streets in the city
would decide upon having concrete
sidewalks put in as those on North
Church street have been.
