A Parcels Post
Is Now Assured.

Washington, June 9.--Legislation
providing for a general parcels post
throughout the United States and Its
possessions, except the Philippine Is
lands is practically certain To be en-
acted by the present Congress. perhaps
before the conclusion of the session
now in progress, in the opinion of
Postmaster General Hitchcock. He has
urged insistently upon Congress the
desirability of domestic parcels post
because, among other reasons. he be-
lieyes II will aid substantially in the
solution of the problem of the high
cost of living. In a statement, today,
he expressed the hope that the meas
ure recently introduced by Senator
Bourne. chairman of the committee on
post offices and post roads, might be
crystalized into law.
The Bourn bill presents the most
scientific and business like plan yet
devised for parcels post. 1t provides
for parcels service throughout the
country both on rural routes and city
carrier routes 1t eonsolidates the
third and fourth classes of mail mat
ter--a reform long advocated by the
post office department. and raises the
weight limit of parcels to IL pounds.
which is the limit of international
parcels post. The rate to be charged
for articles carried in the rural route
service and city carrier service is
five cents for the first pound or
fraction of pound. For the general
parcels post service which covers all
mail transportation other than local
delivery by rural or city carriers,
graduated rates would be established,
based on distance.
Six zones of distance would be estab-
lished. The first would have radiaI
distance of so miles from the point of
mailing; the second would include the
area lying between 10 and 200 miles; the
third that between 200 and 500 miles the
fourth that between 500 and 1000 miles;
the fifth that between 1000 and 1000 miles.
and the sixth distances beyond 700 miles.
The rate for delivery within the first
zone is six cents for the first pound or
fraction of pound and two cents for
each additional pound or fraction of q
pound. The rates would increase for
each additional zone until in the sixth
they reach maximum of II cents a
pound, the rate now charged In the in
ternational parcels post The rate on the
consolidated third and fourth class mail
matter is fixed at one cent an ounce for
not more than four ounces. Distinctive
parcels postage stamps will be provided.

Colby Z; Bates 2.

Colby defeated Bates, Saturday after
noon, at Alumni field, Watervile by a
score of to 2, in her last championship
game of the State series. By winning
from Bates, Colby easily takes second
place in the series, while Bowdoin and
Bates each tie for third place, having
won two games and lost four. Maine
won the pepnant by being victorious in
five out of six games, losing once to
Bates.
Colby outclassed her opponents in the
pitching, which was all done by James.
and by consistent and opportune hitting,
getting eight, one of which was a romp-
ing three-bagger by Fraser in the fourth.
And then Bates outclassed Colby in the
inneld IN baseball fashion, making but
four errors, in contrast to the eight
tmany of which We're COSTLY made
throughout the game.
Colby scored twice in the first but not
till the fourth did the real fun begin.

Then Fraser came along with his siz-
zling three-base hit to right field; Lind
quist hit Burroughs, who stole second.
LaFleur hit safe into center and Fraser
came home, and then Burroughs crossed
the plate on a flelder'S choice. Moores
also hit to center field, and on another
fielder's choice sent LaF'leur home and
himself second, only to steal third.
Three hits and three runs We're too much
for Bates. so Ellis went into the box
for the rest of the game. Good made
first on an error by Talbot and Moores

coed forthwith from Key West to
one other ship. These orders were is
sued by the state department after
the receipt of aldispatch from Minister

Havana and suburbs of the city had
assumed the character of race war.
1t is probable that Admiral Oster-

take his flagship. the washington, into
Cuban waters.
Minister Beaupre's message said that
conditions in and around Havana had
been menacing since Friday night;
that. last night, there were anti-Negro
demonstrations of large proportions by
irresponsible elements and that there
were clashes in every quarter of Ha-
vana and vicinity. He reported that
the Negroes were being goaded into
violence and that retaliation might
have disastrous consequences. Ameri-
cans and other foreigners and many
Cubans, he said, were very apprehen-
sive and desired the sending OF an
American war vessel.
The state department has decided to
leave entirely to Rear Admiral Usher,
commanding the fourth division OF the
