Washington, Sept. l. The Joint
Congressional Committee on Railway
Mail Pay to-day made it's final report
recommending increases in mail paw
that are expected to mean an addi-
tlonal annual compensation to tho rail-
roads of about s3,000,000 as compared
with the provisions made for the pres
ent fiscal year. The report recommends
payment on n space baisis and argues
that mail service should yield the
roads virtually the same revenue as
passenger service under the same con-
dltons as the mails travel at the
same speed and regularity as passen-
gers The rates finally recommended
PASSENGER rates, avera ging 242o cents

Haines, in case of the passage of the railroad bill, will be a candidate for the coast terminal of the road. She asks that Southeast Alaska points in dorse her candidacy on the ground that the greater amount of freight would take the outside route were the terminal located at Cordova, Valdez or farther west Of course, the greatest obstacle in the way of Haines' chances is the fact that the road would have to run oyer Canadian territory to reach the interior. If this were not an ob- iectiou on other grounds it is doubtful that the president could build over foreign territory under the provisions of the bill.-EX.

 According to the records the Fourth Alaskan division (Fairbanks> is the second most expensive U. S. marshal's division in the United States, being exceeded only by the southern district of New York. During the fiscal year 1913 the expenditures for the Fourth judicial division amounted to s2300OO, while the southern district of New York showed an outlay of S260,0OO, and made that marshalship the greatest disbursing office in the United States. As the expenditures for the Fourth division for the first half of the fiscal year of 1914 have amounted to more than sl5O,OOO it is estimated that the annual report will show an outlay of approximately s9OO,OOO, which would make it the most expensive in the country, provided New York makes no increase. As the Fourth judicial di- vision covers a greater area than any other in the country, it would be con- sidered tEe most important marshall ship in the United States if the expen- ditures increased so Chat it would out rank New York.

FIRES AT LANCASTER.
Two COnfagratiOns Cause Excitement
in Town.

Lancaster, Nov. 14.-Fire was dis
covered last night about midnight IN
one Of the buildings Of the Spring
block on Main street. This was the
store room occupied by the Palace
Meat market and the o. K. barber
ship. Just how the fire got started
is not positively known, but it is sup
posed that escaping gasoline over
flowed a burner in the shop and
caused flames to drop to the floor,
which burned some little distance be-
fore the fire was discovered. What
promised to be a disastrous fire and
would have been but for the timely
arrival of c. b. Cobb, manager of
the shop, was soon eXtinguished with
but small damage resulting there
from.
Another fire alarm about o'clock
this morning caused many Of the
towns population to be stirring at an
earlier hour than usual. This was the
oil house near the Lancaster & Ches-
ter railroad depot which was discov-
cred afire. The fire department was
soon on the scene, but was powcrlss
to stay the fury of the flames which
practically destroyed the building.
