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.

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.

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.

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 Uu^nu>ie liucituMU Honored.
