ADVICE ON PARCEL POST
instructions Regarding Ham
ding Packages to
Avert Damage.

All is not running as smoothly with the
new parcel post system as the Post ONCE
Department would wish and Second As
sistant Postmaster General Stewart has
issued special instructions to postmas-
tiers and others upon the subject. He
says in most instances the investigation
OF complaints that the contents Of par
GELS have been damaged in the mails is
found to be due, first, to the failure or
the senders to properly wrap them for
safe transmission, and, second. to the
failure OF postmasters, or their employees.
to see that the parcel post regulations
are compiled with.
Stove castings. piow points. pieces OF
machinery and the like the circular
states, Should be wrapped to prevent
damage to the mail and the equipment.
and clothing, shoes, dry goods, ETC..
should be so put up that they will reach
destination in unbroken packages.
Parcels containing fragile articles must
be securely packed and marked fragile.
eggs, glass, or as the case may be.
but parcels which are not fragile, even
though the boxes in which they are in
closed may be, must not be so marked
Postmasters, railway postal clerks,
mail messengers and other postal en-
ployes are cautioned to handle the mail
and not to throw it from cars,
wagons or trucks on platforms, floors or
on the ground. Those who disregard
these instructions are to be reported to
the department for discipline.

PLEA FOR COL0RED MAN
Cleveland G. Allen Says Race
Suffers From Discrimina-
ton in the Navy.

Secretary Daniels of the Navy Depart
ment has promised Cleveland G. Allen Of
New York city to give careful considera-
ton to his recent protest against alleged
discrimination in the naval service
against colored men.
AT present" says Mr. Allen In his
letter to the Secretary of the Navy, the
negro recruits are allowed to enlist only
in a certain branch termed the mess
man branch and are kept messmen and
never get promoted to a higher rank,
save that OF stewards. who do not rank
with petty officers. They are discrimi-
mated against in that on account Of their
color they cannot enlist as real seamen.
and when serving on board ship they
are deprived of the regular system Of
shore leave, unlike the remainder OF the
crew; they are barred from the ships
entertainments, such as smokers. ETC..
and are denied the privileges Of the
ships library and are not allowed to
perform the duty which the uniform
they wear really represents.
But Few Remain.
There are a number OF colored petty
officers and a few colored seamen re-
manning in the navy. but these are
nearly all old men who were enlisted
during the Epanish-American war or a
little later and are now isolated to OBJ
scure places for duty. When these men
shall have passed or retired from the
service our navy will be entirely with
out colored sea fighters. unless some
good Samaritans should expose widely
this fact and take action against this
matter. which the Navy Department
has so far been successful in keeping a
secret

SHUTS Off CENSUS TALK
Strife Over Confirmation of
New Director Averted by
Senate Compromise.

Senators who were looking forward to
discussion of census taking from the
days Of Babylon to the present were dis
appointed last night when the promised
fight over the confirmation Of W. ]. Har-
ris of Georgia as director Of the census,
succeeding E. Dana Durand. was submit
ted to arbitration, and an agreement was
made to vote upon it June %.
Senator Burton had announced his in
tention to post his colleagues on GEN.
sus taking as a fine art, and had piled
the space Under his desk with ancient
and modern records. Other republicans
who opposed the confirmation of Harris
were primed with figures and facts, and
they looked forward to an indefinitely
prolonged merry war.
The republicans had insisted that Har-
ris be not confirmed before July l, and
offers of compromise June / had been
frowned upon.
The agreement for a vote June % was
reached only after it became apparent
that those opposed to confirmation at
this time were prepared to take advan-
tage of the Senate rules and keep talk
ing as long as the Senate remained in
session.
Nominations Confirmed.
In a two-hour executive session yester-
day the Senate confirmed the nominal
tons OF several score postmasters and
other officials. including George W. Guth-
RE as ambassador to Japan, John Pur-
roy Mitchell as collector of the port OF
New York. G. M. SaltzSaber as commits
sicner of pensions, and Albert Lee Thur
man as solicitor OF the Department Of
Commerce.

and that Of Franklin p. Colcock as col
lector at Beaufort s. c., to which repub-
lican objection has been raised, were
passed over.
