WILL DISCOURAGE ROBBERIES Innovation Will Also Show up Padding of Receipts of Offices by Outside Sales of Stamps Issuing Office Will be Printed on Adhesive. Washington , D. C. , Nov. 28. Postage ago stamps of the Issno of 1907 on sale at the 0,000 presidential post olllces , will boar on their face the name of the state and city In which the postofilco Is situated. The chief reason for this Innovation Is said , at the postolllco department , to be the belief that It will help to do away with the big postolllco robberies and make It much easier to trace crlm limls. The postofilco robbery In Chicago , a few years ago , Is a good example of the case with which stolen stamps can bo disposed of , for no trace of the perpetrators was ever discovered , al ' though'$100,000 worth of stamps wore stolen , and these mostly of small do nominations. Another reason for the change Is tc enable the postolllco department to determine the amount of business done by the different postolllces and prevent vent padding , through stamps sold IT , some olllces to residents who do bus ! ness In adjoining cities.

FORTY DETECTIVES GUARD HALL Colored Men Vainly Offer Money Con sideration for Abandonment of Lec ture Mayor Dunne Does Not preside - side or Even Attend Meeting , Chicago , Nov. 28. The efforts of the colored citizens of Chicago to pic- vent United States Senator Benjamin R. Tlllman from delivering an address licro In Orchestra hall because of tlio position ho has assumed toward the negro race were unsuccessful. When the South Carolina senator arrived In Chicago ho was told of threats of In- lunctlon proceedings to pi event him appearing on the platform and of a money consideration that hud boon of fered If he would cancel his engage ment , but Mr. Tlllman declared that It did not make any dlffcience to him what the colored people of Chicago did , ho was going to fill his cngagu- niont , and ho kept his word. Until ho left for Fond du Lac , WIs. , Sejiator Tlllman was guarded by pn- Hco and private detectives. This was In accordance with an order Issued oy Mayor ICdward R Dunne , who was scheduled to piesldo at the meeting. but who refused to do so after a com- mlttoo of colored citizens nnd visited him a few days ago and offered strenuous objections to Senator Till- man's appearance on the bpoaker's platform. v Senator Tlllman gave his address protected by forty detectives In per sonal command of Assistant Clilof of Police Schiiettler. In anticipation of trouble , a number of policemen won- kept in nearby stations in reserve , , but they were not called for. Six colored pollccmon mingled with the crowd of blacks and whites that. blocked the street in front of the hall to arrest any one who made a dis turbance. In the audience were many colored people , but they listened to fionatoi- Tillman's remr ks coed nnturedly aim , , although he was interrupted many times by those who wished to ask questions , the meeting passed off with out trouble. After tolling In detail how the ne gro Is prevented from casting his bal lot In the south , Mr. Tlllman said : "No matter what the people in the north may sny or do , the white race In the south will never be dominated by the negro , nnd I want to toll you now that If some state should ever make an attempt to save South Carolina we will show them that we will make it rod before wo make it black. God Al mighty made the Caucasian of bettor clay than the Mongolian or African or than the Mongolian of the African or any other race. The Ethiopian Is a burden carrier. He has done abso lutely nothing for history nor has ho achieved anything of great Import ance. There are no great men among the race. Yet this people has been picked out by the fanatics of the north and lifted up to the equality of citi zenship nnd to the rights of suffrage. No doubt many of you" nave listened to the oratory of the greatest colored man of this country , Booker T. Wash ington. He had a white father , however - ever , and out of his brains and his character he has gotten his qualities from that father. " Senator Tlllman then told his audi ence' of the attacks on white women by negroes in the south , and declared that the people of the north were In a great measure responsible for this state of affairs. HOLDS RIBHTJO REINSTATE President Is Given Authority to So Act In Case of Black Troops. Washington , Nov. 28. President Roosevelt holds that ho has the power to reinstate in the army any of the members of the three companies ol the Twenty-fifth regiment of colored Infantry who wore discharged withoul honor , as a result of the trouble al Brownsville , Tex. , some time ago , II the circumstances of any Individual case Justify such action. Whether he will avail himself of that power according to the piesldent , will depend on such evidence that may be pre sented to him in the case of any one or more soldiers which will tend clear ly to exculpate them from any partlcl patlon In the Incident. This Is In con formance with the announcement h ° made while away to Secretary Taft when the latter telegraphed the presl dent , stating that application had been made by a number of persons for a i"s hearing. The president wonts evl dcnce. not deductions , ns he told some of his callers , of nonparticipation be fore anything may ho done. Some statement Is expected from the white house In n few days defining the president's attitude and clearly outlining his reasons for ordering the discharge of the throe companies o men.

PRIVATE COMPANY HAS OFFER TO TAKE OVER OFFICE. COULD RUN CHEAPER THAN NOW Startling Offer Mnde to Uncle Sam is .1 Hard Knock to the Fad , Sprung a Short Time Ago by Mr. Brynn , For Government Ownership. Washington , Nov. 2S. Hearing h . gan today before1 the senate commit tee on postolllco nnd post roads , to consider tlio report and recoinmcnda tlonH of the special postal commission , under tin act of congress , approved last June , to Investigate socond-clnss matter. Third Asslslant Postmaster General Madden submitted n proposition t < raise second-class rates to ! cents pel pound in order to place the postal department partment on a basis to moot expenses The publishers' associations from al iarts of the country tire opposed U his and arc hero in force to light the Madden report. Among those representing a mini bor of magazine publishers Is Capl Henry A. Tastlo of St. Paul , who ap peared at the committee rooms at noon. Something In the way of a sonsa tlon Is going to levelop before Hit hearings arc over. ' It Is strongly Intl mated that an offer will bo made b > an association , comnosed of men will unlimited capital to take over from the government the entire postolllco department and run H as a pi I vale In stitution , subject of course to govern ment supervision , the same as express and railroad companies are now op erated. Tlio proposition will bo aucli thai' Ilio government will either have to accept It or stop talking about In- ereased ratoa of postage. The associa tion will offer to do the postal busi ness of the United States for ono-half what It costs the government and give bond lor the faithful performance of tlio contract. When the proposition Is submitted , some startling facts and figures will come to light , nnd It will bo shown that railroads are receiving double what they should on mail-carrying con tracts , that thousands of employes are carried on the rolls of the postal service because of political inliuonco and not for merit or capability. Whether or not the offer Is consid ered by congress , it Is a bold move on the part of the association , which has sent Its representatives to Washing ton la make good. Indirectly this offer of taking over the postofilco department Is rather n hard knock at government ownership. Ten Killed by Floating Mine. London. Nov. 28.
