PROTEST NEW P. O. LAW
Business Interests Would Keep
Deliveries on Sunday.

A flood Of protest arose Yesterday from
department stores, business houses ho-
tells and others accustomed TO heavy
mails over the new law prohibiting mail
delivery to the general public" on Sun
day except that bearing a special delivery
stamp. Business houses which get their
mail on Sunday I'm order to avoid con-
gestion OF correspondence during the
early part Of the week say that they will
feel the loss Of the privilege keenlv.
Beginning September every first and
second class mail delivery window IN post
Offices Of the United States will be closed
OF Sundav. Most Of the renters OF boxes
at the postoifice will find that no mail
will be placed In their boxes on Sunday.
Business men In the city said that the
outcome of the law would practically
first OF the week and consequent loss
Of time and money. Word came from
Washington, however, that Postn1a ster
General Hitchcock had made plans by
which hotel and newspaper mail and
other especially important matter would
be put in boxes without delay, to avoid
mountaineering the business public.
Postmaster L. W. VOORHEES,, of Brook
Ign, said that he expected the matter to
work out with the best of success In
that borough. The same cannot be said
OF Manhattan, which is more devoted to
business and manufacturing interests
than IS Brooklyn.
Assistant Postmaster Thomas F. Muir
ply said Yesterday that the provision in
the postoffice appropriation act prohibit
Ing the Sunday deliveries would be en-
forced here next Sunday. In accordance
with instructions from Washington. Tha,
means the shutting off OF the general
delivery service from midnight Saturday
until Monday morning.
The collection Of mail from the drop
boxes at the branch offices, as well as
in the business buildings, will be con-
tinued as usual. There will be no inter
ferenc. with the sorting and dispatchins
OF the outgoing newspaper and other mail
matter.
All letters bearing special delivery
stamps, Mr.. Murphy said. Will be for
warded as usual. Persons in the out
lying sections who have been accustomed
TO get their Sunday papers by mail will
find that they will have to discontinue
that plan or wait over until Monday.

FOR NICARAGUAN PEACE
ENJOYS of Adversaries of Diaz
Regime in Washington.
Trroln The Tribune Bureau

Washinston. Aug. si.-Overtures for 4
settlement Of the Nicaraguan rebellion
through a peace treaty and new cleo
tIon, giving many Of the distranchisad
natives the right 10 vote, VIII probably De
made 10 the Department Of state WITHIN
a few days by Francisco Altschul and
Angel Tgarte, who are In Washington
representing that they appear as peace
makers i'm tho interest Of a majority OF
Nicaraguans.
Altschul, who was formerly consul from
Nicaragua at New Orleans, but who Is
now an exile from that country, has al
ready discussed the Nicaraguan situation
with Senator Bacon. who is strongly OPP
posed TO the present policy OF this govern
ment In protecting Americans in Mana
qua. but is not sure that he will be able
70 obtain official recognition at the State
Department, owing to the trouble he has
made in the past. Ugarte was minister
from Honduras at one time.
The two "peacemakers' say that the
reports OF outrages committed by General
Menas men at Leon and Managua are
exaggerated, and that tho killing and
wounding of women should be blamed on
the Diaz government, which forced them
into service They take an optimistic
view of the situation and declare that
fair election under the direction Of the
United States government would restore
peace
There is little II any change in policy
by this government. and IL is improbaD BILE
that Altschul and Ugarte. who came here
from New Orleans. will get far with their
mission. 1t has been made plain by the
State Department that there will be no
treating with General Mena, but rather
that President Dlaz will be supported TO
the fullest extent In his effort TO protect
the lives and property of foreigners.
The state Department Is still without
news from Minister Weitzel. and ii ID as
sumed that there has been a material I'M
provement in conditions in so far az
Americans are concerned. although COM
