MAIL CARRIERS GET MORE PAY
There Are Less Contracts Carried for
Nothing Nowdays.
Washington , D. C. , Sopt. G. Special :
Coflipetltion in bidding for mail con
tracts , particularly in rural districts ,
is fast becoming a matter of history ,
according to postollice olllclals. For
merly Uncle Sam found carriers for
many of the smaller routes for prac
tically nothing 'nit in nearly every
such case tl'l'J * " 'ho holds the job
nowdays recu , ty , , - < ) or less ade
quate compensai. J'r ' * h ° °
regime , the most exu 'o/y condi
tion of affairs often exi. f,0'7/ r in
stance , tlie mail carrier 'f'fj Lake
Charles , la. , was under contract for
four years to pay to the government
the sum of $50 a year for carrying the
mails by steamer a distance of iltty-
ilve miles three times each week , the
value to the carrier being found , of
course , in the business standing
which he derived from the service.
This contract has just ended and the
new incumbent Is to receive a salary
of $2000 a year for doing just the
same work that cost ills predecessor
$50 nnually. A still more curious in
stance of the old order is found in
the case of West Bridgeton , Vt. , where
the carrier , for going twelve times a
week to Woodstock , six miles away ,
received the princely remuneration ,
of one cent each year for his services.
His successor now receives $100. A
former carrier of Freedom , N. IL ,
also distinguished himself by carrying
the malls several miles daily for two
and a half mills a year. The job now
pays $150. Altogether , Uncle Sam's
letter carriers are coming into newer
and better conditions , to which the
automobile as a future means of dis
tribution forms a very attractive if
not yet actually existing addition.
Shirtwaist in Army.
The shirtwaist man who came
strugguled against criticism , and dis
appeared , is likely to find in the
,
United States army the prepetuator of
the custom he attempted to set. Sol
diers in shirtwaists , that is the gist
of the suggestion recently made to the
war department by General Leonard
Wood , commanding the Philippines
division. His suggestion In particular
is that the troops of his command be
authorized to wear the rank insignia
on their shirts under conditions which
make It admirable to dispense with
the coat. Unfortunately , there Is no
money available for the purchase of
additional insignia , but the war de
partment has authorized the use of '
khaki chevrons on the shirts , and
General Wood will be allowed to regu
late the practice of leaving off the
service coats , uniformity , however ,
being insisted upon in the matter in
the Interest of discipline and neatness.
Slgsbee to Retire.
The navy is to lose through retirement
Bit
ment in the next twelve months just
itU
an even dozen of its twenty-two rear
admirals , among whom will bo found , (
Rear Admiral Sigsbee , who was in
command of the old Maine at tbo
time of her destruction in the harbor
of Havana. The effects of the ago
limit will not stop with the admirals ,
either , since with one exception the
commandant of every navy yard in
the country is to be retired. Fighting
Bob Evans , as he is generally known ,
will be forced to take a , bacK seat in
a little less thali two years , for on the
fifteenth of September Lieutenant-
General Corbin will cease to bo the
active head of the army , a fact render
Ci ( rather more interesting when it
is remembered that lieutenant-generals
have been more of the exception than
the rule in the United States army
and' that before long the title will
cease to exist.

grieved because congiesu would no
enact an anti-injunction law which ha
approved and declared constitutioiia
Mr. Gompers has blacklisted us be

distribution of powers to the execu

are a check on each other , than to retain -

COMPROMISE SOLE TOPIC OF CON
VERSATION AT HAVANA.
.
MAY TREAT WITH INSURGENTS
Hope to Bring About a Settlement of
the Island's Internal Troubles Pub
lic Opinion Setting Toward an
Agreement to Prevent Bloodshed.
Havana , Sept. G. Peace Is lu the
air and on all sldeS there IB hope that
matters will bo arranged between the
government and the insurgents so aa
to avoid further bloodshed. However.
there has been no tangible advance to
ward an agreement or U ) u dollnlte
arrangement ot a basis for negotia
tion. In the meantime lighting has
been piactically suspended. Delegates
inioi iUiilly chosen by a small gioup ui
veterans started to the camps of IMno
Guerra , Colonel Asliort , General Guz
man and others of the insurgent lead
ers , with the purpose of learning
what will bo acceptable to the actual
fighting leaders of the revolution. A
similar committee started to Glen-
fuegos to consult , under a flag of
truce , with the Insin ent leadois in
Santa Clara prov'co. . General Men-
ocnl , General Cebrcco fnd other veterans -
erans held a conference with Alfredo
Xayas , the lender of the liberal party ,
which , however , did not result In
reaching any understanding. At the
Mime time the executive committee of
the moderate paity was holding a con-
forenco , at which the subject of pcaco
was excitedly discussed , although no
determination was reached.
General Monocal and his associates ,
veterans of the wars with Spain , had
a stormy session. General Menocal's
remarks were Interrupted by liberal
veterans , who angrily resented what
Lhey called his dictatorial manner and
his assumption of his right to Instruct
them what they ought to do as pat
riots. The general responded with
equal warmth. Considerable temper
was shown on both aides , and the
meeting finally dissolved in anger.
The result is a temporary drawback
to the peace negotiations.
The Associated Press Is Informed
that the government commanders
have been directed to suspend active
field operations until It can bo deter
mined what can be done to end the
war. It Is feared that the demands of
the Insurgent leaders In the. field will
be much more exacting than those of
insurgent sympathizers In the cities ,
who ostensibly at least assume to bo
noncombatants.

Aloug the route Mr. Uryan was re

interpreting his thought , indulged in
some hissing.
As Governor Mickey concluded and
Mr. Bryan arose , there was renewed
