Blows Up Columbia Road Car, lnjur-
ing Two Passengers.

Boston. July 23.-Dynamite placed on
the street car rails exploded under q
Columbia road car, tonight, wrecking

gers and frightening 30 others The

Field ear, of the Boston Elevated

sions occurred and the Bottom of the

Parcels Post Ar
. gued in the Senate.

Washington, July 23.-The post Office
appropriation bill, shorn of the good
roads provision proposed by the House
and embracing a revised parcels posts
system with charges based on zones OF
distance. was reported to the Senate,
today by the post office committee.
The total appropriations proposed by
the bill are above those of the House
measure, which carried approximate
~ 100000. 600. One of the principal fea-
lures is in the pay OF railroads for
transporting mails. the Senate COM
mittee adding more than s2.5O0,000.
In striking out the Shackelfcrd good
roads features OF the House bin, which
provided for federal improvement of
highways, the Senate committee rec
ommends an investigation by a special
cmonsIttee OF three House members and
three senators and provides for no
highway Improvements until this COM
nittee has reported
The Barnhardt amendment from the
House bin for the regular publication
of the names of stockholders of news
papers and periodicals is changed to
provide for publication ONLY once a
year, when stockholders are required
To be filed with local postmasters.
The Parcels post section is radically
different from that Incorporated in
the House bill, which provided a fiat
rate OF postage for all distances. The
Senate provision combines third and
fourth class mail matter for the par
GELS pest service. but the hjA makes
tie parcels post apply only to fourth
class matters.
The Senate committee struck out of the
House bill the provision giving TO postal
employees the right to combine i'm labor
unions and the right to petition Congress
to redress their grievances
1t provided for the adjustment of the
system of carrying of first class mail
by fast freight Under the Senate bill
all second class mail would be put back
in regular mail cars. after Aug. 81 A
special mail committee is proposed to
investigate the pneumatic tube service
and whether the government shall pur-
chase that now in use in various cities
A $4,000 appropriation is authorized for
improved mechanical devices in the Chi
cago post office, which is now over
crowded
Steel cars for railway mail service,
which were required by the House bill
to be in universal use by American rail-
roads by 1917. are also required by the
Senate bill. The House bill requires the
railroads to replace 20 per cent. of its
wooden mail cars every year. while the
Senate bill would give the roads one year
of grace and then require them to re-
place Is per cent. of their cars each year
for four years.
Senator Gardner of Maine launched an
attack upon the measure and counselled
the Senate TO adopt the plan already APP
proved by the House. He declared the
Senate committee on post offices had
been unfair to a parcels post bill he had
introduced.
Senator Gardner declared it would cost
more to operate the parcels post plan
the first year than to buy out the ex-
press companies. He recommended that
the property, contracts and business of
the companies be taken over by the gov
eminent. feither by purchase or condem-
nation and a, postal express system
started.

England Intends
To Rule the Sea.

London, July 23,-The. speech OF

supplementary naval appropriation has
provoked widespread discussion both
at home and abroad
Niscount Haldane, lord high chan
eeller. who recently visited Berlin for
the purpose of discussing AngIo-Ge
man relations made an interesting
statement to the effect that Germany
he'd been told in the friendliest man-
ner that whatever naval efforts she
might make, Great Britain would
make still greater.
I'VE have said" Viscount Haldana
added. we would do this with no in
tention of aggression, but because saa
power is our life and in sea power wa
intend to remain superior"
Berlin, July 23.-German public opinion
is neither disturbed nor irritated over
yesterdays naval debate in the House
of Commons IN London. The press gem
orally seems satisfied with Germanys
comparative position under the new order
of things and praises the speech Of Win
ston Spencer Churchill. first lord OF the
aeiiiii ATTY, as FRANK, without Inc usual
provicativeness.
The Fossisehe zeitung says the in,
crease in the German fleet was due to,
the tone of British statesmen during the
Morocco crisis.
A responsible official corroborated the
standpoint of the press and asserted un-
equivocally that the speech delivered BY
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
exehequer, at the Mansion. House. Lou
DON in 1911, was the direct and sole cause
of the new German naval bill.
