G'eat Billaln'a rtfm.i ! to co-cprrate with

Ono of the canal projects which have
long been planed , hut are yet to be carried
out , U that which contemplates cutting
through the Isthmus ot Kra on the Malacca
peninsula. The route from the southern
end of the Red sea to Annam , China , and
Japan now pauses through the Malacca
straits by the way of Singapore , which Is a
regular pnrt of call , and as such docs a
thriving trade. By sailing up the Bay of
Pakebau and there taking a canal less than
twenty-five miles long at the southern end
of Tenasscrlm , there would be a saving of
not only of several hundred miles In dis
tance , but , for some vessels , of several days
In time. The French ore , perhaps , particu
larly Interested In this enterprise , because
it would allow them to reach Salgou and
other ports on their Cochin China coast
without panning through the straits com
manded by Singapore. Slam gave the
French a concession for establishing the
canal years ago , but thus far , although
preliminary surveys have been made , no
other actual work of consequence on It ap
pears to have been done.

New York Journal of Commerce.
Tlio Omaha Bee Is amusing Itself by
reprinting certain articles from the Omaha
World-Herald , the paper Mr. Bryan was
the star editorial writer on for some time ,
and which Is now serving as his personal
organ , sneezing violently whenever ho
takes snuff. On July 31 , 1803. the World
Herald advised the repeal of the silver
purchase law because Its effect had been "to
shako the confidence of timid Investors and
to force out of circulation much money
ordinarily used to transact the business of
the country , " and to enact free coinage
with a silver dollar heavy enough to bo
worth a gold dollar. The latter In described
as "practical , honest and safe bimetallism
on the ratio of 1 to 25. " It declared that
"no people except the greedy owners
of sliver mines , anxious to make Inordinate
profits , are Interested In-coinage at a ratio
of 1 to 1C. " On the 3d of August , 1833 , the
paper complained of the "silver agitators
who Insist on frco coinage upon the dis
honest ratio of 1 to 1C , " and on the llth of
August It observed with satisfaction that
some of the 1C to 1 representatives were
weakening , and said : "Certainly the presi
dent's clear and earnest message had much
to do with the result. " It believed "tho
sixteen to one fallacy Is a thing of the past.
It Is one thing to preach 1C to 1 In the fever
of enthusiasm Inspired by a monster political
gathering , but It Is quite another thing to
deliberately defend such a fallacy In the
congress of the United States. " That , however -
over , is what Mr. Bryan did flvo days later ,
opposing the repeal of the silver purchase
law and opposing any change of ratio.
After ho Joined the paper ho seems to have
turned It from a blmotalllst to a free silver
organ , but ho Is already finding it a good
deal harder to defend the 1C to 1 fallacy before -
fore the general public tliiui It was "In the
fevpr of enthusiasm Inspired by a monster
political gathering. "

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The 1'ostofllce department olllclals
have found n way out of the difficulty which
confronted them In the matter of Increasing
the compensation for street railway mall
service between Omaha ami South Omaha.
This conclusion , due to work by Repre
sentative Mercer , will bo to thu mutual ad
vantage of both the street railway and tht >
residents of these cities and Council Bluffs.
As heretofore telegraphed The Hee , no ad
ditional compensation could be paid for
service now being rendered without the con
sent of I'ostmastcr General Wilson , who la
now In Europe. It has been determined ,
however , to got around this objection by
putting on n complete railway mail car ,
such as Ir used on steam railroads through
out the country and are now In use In
Washington , New York , Philadelphia , Urook-
lyn , Doston , Chicago , St. Louis and Cincin
nati. This car is somewhat smaller than
the ordinary steam railway mall car , but
will have all facilities for distributing ,
pouching and delivery of mall , and will
bo In charge of a regularly appointed rait-
way mall clerk who Is familiar with nuch
work. The effect of putting this car Into
service will bo to relieve the clerks In
the Omaha , South Omaha and Council muffs
postofllcua of a great deal of work of ills
trlbutlng moll for outgoing trains nnd city
delivery.
HOW THE THING WORKS.
As nn Illustration a sack of mall Is put
on a car at South Omaha , containing letters
nnd other matter for Omaha , Chicago , Coun
cil Bluffs , Sioux City and other points , prob
ably going In different directions. The
clerk in charge ot the car will distribute
this mall , placing luall for each point in
separate packages. At the junction , where
all mall Is now ? ent to the main olllce In
Omaha for distribution , that going out of
town will bo sent to the depot already put
up for delivery In the city for which It Is
addressed , and mall addressed to Omaha will
be sent to thu postotllces and all that Is
then necessary to do is for the carriers to
route It. The advantage of the now serv
ice can be readily be seen. It will save
time nnd after once started can be extended
In various ways to expedite the delivery of
mall from all parts of the city , and where-
over the city rapid transit trains extend.
Although no date has been set for the
Inauguration of this. It will be put In opera
tion as soon as a car can be built. The
street railway ofllclals have agreed to the
terms and a contract will be made for one
year. Representative Mercer feels very
much elated over the solution ot the dllll-
culty between the raihvay and the depart
ment nnd says he will bring the matter to
the attention of congress next winter M >
that an appropriation can be secured , which
will double this service during and after the
exposition.
Representative Mercer secured a plum for
one of his constituents today in the shape
of one day's salary at $8 per day as super
intendent of cons'tructlou of the Omaha pub
lic building. Henry Voss was appointed to
this office sometime ago , but the appoint
ment was revoked In four or five hours , so
that ho had no opportunity to perform the
functions of his olllce. Mr. Voss insisted
that ho was entitled to the regular appoint
ment and pay for one day , and upon Mr.
Mercer's representation an order was made
today to Issue the appointment and check
for salary for that length of time. ,
AT YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Captain Anderson , acting superintendent
of the Yellowstone National park , today
made his annual report to the secretary ot
the Interior. In It he says that travel In
the park this season promised to be heavy ,
but this promise was not realized , for the
reason , probably , that the ilnancial dcprcc-
slon still continues over the country. Fre
quent violations ot park regulations have
been reduced to a minimum by their strict
enforcement with regard to licensed con
ductors , who guard the poorer visitors and
campers through the park. In 1895 there
were 2CSS visitors to the park In camping
parties , and 338 came in by licensed trans
portation routes. The total number of reg
istrations at hotels during that period was
2.SS8. There has been considerable trouble
this year with parties who have been li
censed as conductors , against whom com
plaints have been made of broken promlsen ,
etc. , and the recommendation is made that
these licenses bo revoked or not renewed
next year.
Serious damage to the park by fire last
season , Captain Anderson says , was only
averted by the vigilance of patrols. Camp
ers wcro very careless In come instances In
not extinguishing their fires. Some of them
were arrested and fined , others were warned
and the lesson was altogether satisfactory.
MONEY IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
The report says It Is thought that none
of the efforts made each year for the dlsln-
tongratlon of the park will be succossful.
Much progress has been made since the
last report in the construction of new roads
and In repairing old ones. Captain Ander
son complains of Inadequate appropriations
for the care of the park. This year $35,001)
Is allowed , and he says this Is not enough
to keep the old roads in repair and to
construct such new roads as are necessary.
A portion of the park boundaries have been
marked by enduring monuments. This work
has been under direction of Lieutenant
Hromwell of the Engineers corps. Captain
Anderson reports that all kinds of game ,
except bison , Is abundant and that the
streams In the park are well stocked with
fish. Several prosecutions and convictions
of poachers and reported. This action will.
In the opinion of Captain Anderson , result
In much good la suppressing future poach
ing operations. Captain Anderson concludes
his report with the recommendation that
on appropriation of $100,000 a year be made
until the roads are completed with macadam.
He also recommends the completion of the
work of marking boundaries of the park
with durable monuments , which can bo
readily recognized at all times ,

wanted the case tried at once. But none of

leading republicans In the city , who realize
this fact , are severe In their denunciation of
the prosecution for pushing a case of so
little significance or consequence.
