l’ostolllce Figaros.
Washington, Nov. 30.—The fol
lowing is an abstract of the annual re
port of Postmaster General Uis3cll:
The postmaster general, in his finan
cial statement, shows the deficiency
for the year ended June 33, 1833, was
S3,177,171, instead of #1,552,423, as es
timated bv Mr. Wanamaker, and that
instead of a surplus of $873,215 for the
current fiscal year, as estimated by
Mr. Wunam,lcer, there svitl be an esti
mated deficit of $7,830,173. He esti
mates the gro^p revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1801, at $84,427,
718 and the gross expenditures at $90.
399,185, leaving an estimated deficitof
$5,971,736, which, however svill be de
creased $1,250,0 K) from the fund tpken
from the unpaid money order ac
counts
Although there are ninety-three addi
tional postofiices now entitled to free
delivery service, the absence of money
renders impossible the establishment
of the system in these towns. After
a thorough trial of two and a half
years, the experiments in free deliv
ery tried in 460 towns of populations
ranging from 900 to 4,000 have not
proven the desirability of establishing
the system, which the postmaster gen
eral savs wou’d cause an annual out
lay of $10,000,000. The appropriation
of $10,000 made for the trial of rural
free delivery has been found inade
quate for a fair test and the plan is
not approved.
The postmaster general, by one
stroke, has settled the carriers' over
time question under thq eight-hour
law. Claims for over time amounting
to nearly $1,090,000 were on file in
the department when he assumed his
office. Under ills order of April last,
however, postmasters have been held
so strictly accountable for the time of
their carriers that the making of over
time has practically ceased.
lie suggests that postal notes be
abolished and that the rates charged
for all domestic rponey orders should
be reduced and the form of order
simplified.
While Mr. Wanamaker estima'ed
the profits from the sale of Columbian
stamps would be *2.50 ',000, Mr. His
sell’s estimate is only $l,900,uou.
On June 30, 1893, there were 68,403
postofiices in tlic United States, an in
crease of 1,284 over the previous year.
! There arc 3,600presidential postofiices,
j a net increase o[ 103 offices.
Mr. llissell devotes considerable
space to a discussion of civil service
| reform. There are 28,381 employes in
| the classified civ^l service ip the post
offico establishment of- the govern-,"
incut, lie makes special Comment on
the wholesale dlfeeharge of Democrat
ic clerks in thy railway mail service
at the beginning of the laso adminis
tration.
Mr. llissell's rule that fourth-class
postmasters shall not be removed un
til on the expiration of four vears’ in
cumbency lie thinks will dignify the
ollice by placing it on a par witti
presidential offices ns to tenure.
The next important order made by
Mr. llisseil is the one which declared
that postmasters shall devote their
time to the duties of their office. In
this connection he states the time has
passed jvlysn $ postoflice appointment
„ V,
should "bo held us a sinecure.
In commenting' on the 103 removals
made by the last administration in
the railway mail service, he says:
“This was the heaviest blow ever
dealt the civil service law; since the
effect of it was to debar experiepced
clerks from the service and to
protect in their positions a
large number of inexperienced new
appointees. It is. not to be
wondered that the employes thus
summarily discharged regard the law
itself as a hateful obstruction to fair
treatment and justice. This sentiment
has recently been emphasized in the
case of many who hoped for reinstate
ment upon discovering the interven
ing tour years have so far advanced
their ages that they are now ineligi
ble even for examination under the
ago limit. In this connection, how
ever, it is to be observad that of the
1,000 and more persons appointed,
less than one-half were in the service
March 7. 180.’.”
The security of the registered mail
is shown by the fact that of 14,540,789
pieces carried during the year, actual
loss was found in only 1,346 cases of
the 3,933 complaints investigated.

It was his great and honorable purpose to
bring the people of Great Britain and the

. POWDERLY TALKS.
He Promises General Master Workman
Sovereign Ills Hearty Support.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 29.—Labor
Commissioner James R. Sovereign of
Iowa is now general master workman
of the Knights of Labor and upon him
will devolve thy task of rebuilding the
order which lias been threatened with
dissolution as the result of the hitter
quarrels between Powderly and
Hayes.
Mr. Powdcrly was seen shortly
afterward and seemed to be in excel
lent humor. When asked his opinion
of the assembly’s action, he said:
“The king- is dead, long live the king.
Mr. Sovereign will have no heartier
support by any individual of the order
than ho will receive from me. lie is
eminently worthy of the position and
I believe he will fill the office as well
*» any one can. Personally I bear no
ill will against any one. I am perfect
ly satisfied that events have so
shaped themselves. I only exercised
the right that the constitution vested
in me. and attempted to carry
out my ideas as to who should consti
tute the general executive board. The
gentlemen were all friends of mine
and true good knights. I was deter
mined to stand by them and believed
my prooosition the right one, and
rather than see my friends fall alone,
I was willing to go down with them.
Xhe order is indebted to me about
$5,000, but I am not uneasy .about
that. I shall remain in-,tke oqdpphnd
do what I can for its benefit. In the
general assembly I repelled the
charges made against me by Mr. Hayes
and was sustained by the delegates,
so upon the whole I feel very wcllsat
tafied.”

MAY FOsoiVt HER PRINCE,
PrlnceM Colonnm Bald to Be Kepentlnc ot
Divorce Action—The Prlnce'i Becord.
Loxdos, Dec. 2.—It is current gos
sip that the difficulties between the
Princess Colonna, formerly Miss Eva
Bryant Maclcay of California and her
husband, which.have lead to divorce
proceedings in Paris, arose less than
a month ago. It is also said that she
would forgive the prince if ho would
take the first step toward reconcili
ation.
It is comnaon gossip among Ameri
cans on the continent that ever since
his marriage the prince has squandered
Mr. Mackay’s money without count
ing it Besides the large sums he con
stantly demanded, large bills ad
dressed to the princess were received.
These were for jewelry and other
feminine adornments, but not for her.
She, her brothers and her mother were
accurately informed of the prince's
actions by pretended friends. Col
onna's “princely” spirit was unable
to brook reproach, though when he
was driven to bay with an absolutely
empty purse to face his gambling
debts, he several times responded to
his wife’s meek complaints, tears-and
a check for a 'large sum of money,
with promises of amendment, which,
the money in his possession, he treated
like proverbial pie crust,
The final scene is said to have been
a violent one, in which Mrs Mackay,
unsparing of her words, told the
prince just what she thought of him
and his conduct. The prince could
make no defense, so he contented him
self with comparing his princely
origin with the origin of Mrs Mackav

Chicaoo, Dee. 2.—Three charitable
institutions in this city and one in
Cleveland have been made richer by
an aggregate sum of nearly 8100,000

Prairie avenue. The institutions thus
sharing her wealth are the Michael
Reese hospital, the Jewish Manua
Training school on Canal street, the
Old People’s home on Sixty-seventh

at Cleveland, Ohio. The exact amount
