* on l friends that Mr Williams' visit to
Madrid has been made as an agent of the
United States with the view of mailing some
arrangement by which a peaceable solution
of the Cuban question might bo brought
about.
It will be remembered that , on returning

settlement of the difficulties with Cuba It
wes even Mated that Mr Williams was
authorized to fax or negotiations by which

a triumph for international bimetallism over

lave driven all gold out of America and
the introduction of an exclusively Mlver eur-

nev liable for an indefinite period. This
would have divided the world Into two

WASHINGTON. Nov S The aniii'tl re
port of Frank H Jones , tbe first a lstant
postmaster general , gives a review of a large
part of the postal work anJ some recommen
dations for the Improvcnic'-t of th servl-e
It shows that during the l = t three fiscal
years the aggregate savings In 'he divisions
of salaries and allowances of postma * crs
were J5U..94 , in free delivery , J2.SH 415 ,
and pcttofflce supplies tl8.5IO. totals , * 3 -

I
gate reduction of 3,030 li 'n the numocr of
pieces of mail sent from pos rfue3 to the
dead letter office Ta to'al nuiiibc of
presidential offices Jul } 1 last was 3 C31. of
which 109 were first-class 740 seoonJ e'ars

receipts at the first neoocl and thlrJ elurs
offices were { C3.IS2,3C5 and the totil sala-
rit $ G,2035'00
Since November 2. 1894. there have been
2 459 positions in the postofflces added to
the clat-slOed services This leaves as the
enl } positions at first-class postofflces which
are excepteJ from civil service examinations ,
arslstant postmasters and principal cashier ,
at second-class offices assistant postmaster ,
under any legal designation
Attention is called to the fact that not
withstanding the increcee In gross receipts ,
the numerical increase in the force was less
than 50 per cent of previous } ear During
the year twenty-nine stations and 120 sub
stations were established and one station
and seven substations were discontinued , a
net Increase of 141 stations and substations.
rifty-flve postofflces of the second , third and
fourth classes vere discontinued during the
} ear and fifty-four citations and substations
were established to take their place
WANT LOWER LEASES
Mr Jones sas the PoitofDce department
should be at llbert } to execute leaerc for
postofQce premises for a period in oxct B
of five- } ears where , in the opinion of the
department It io ne-ceasary Canceling ma

ICO of one pattern and 237 of another now
in ut < > under contract It Is expectt-d that
the investigation of overtime carrier claim *
will be completed during the current fiscal

sary to pa } all claims accrued
Tbe experiment of free deliver } In fort-
flvc towns and villages cost the department
? S247. leaving an unexpended balance of
jl 7.3 Investigation ohoned that in a ma-
Jorltj of the offices the gross reec-'pts had
decreased rlnce the establlthment of the
service the department being compelled to
send money to some offices for the pajment
of the letter carriers' salaries Concresc
did not appropriate for further permanent
or experimental sen Ice and the experiment
was necceEirllv discontinued with the close
of the fiscal } ctr
There are sixty-three offices which were
entitled to the ertablirhment of the free
de-Ilvcry service during the fiscal year ended
June 30. 1R9G but the sen Ice could not be
establlshei ja Jnorg Jhjinnln ccn .office *
without entailing a greater expeose npon
the limited appropriations for tbe current

service would permit.
The rural free delivery experiment was In
operation at potetn In thirty statcc by No
vember 1 .and the result of these tests will
be received in a special report to ( ongrcsE
In December The aggregate number of do

The report closes with a summary of tbe
administration of Mr. Jones , ihow-ing prun
ing of expenses wherever possible Improved
facilities and makes numerous recommenda
tions.
TO PREVENT FRAUD
The first assistant easThe attention of
congress ought to be called to the private
letter box abuse in large cities It is In
some cases impossible to locate persons c'n-
gaged in conducting fraudulent end unlaw
ful correspondence through the malls , who
for a comparative ! } small num. can rent a
box in some cigar or stationer } store through
which to receive Ictteis addressed to them
Several bills nave been Introduced v.itbin
the past few years designed to put an end
to the practice of bocottlng postmasters at
office-a of the fourth class thcreb } depriving
them cf the compensation properly belong
ing to them This matter should be called
up and some action taken that would result
in postmasters receiving at least the com
pensatlon which properly belongs to their
respective offices
Other recommendations arePlacing
dealers In obscene matter upon tbe fraud
list : pcnalt } for unlawful use of the frank
of a member of congress , authcrlt } for sus
pension of postoffite emplocs , for substitute
clerks with pa } In the place of regular
clerks noccsarll } absent , leave with full
pay to cle-rks or carriers disabled while on
duty , substitutes to assist regular carriers
on bolide } B and other emerginclts and to
require bonjs cove-ring negligence or dis-
htncEt } of money order clerks
For the fiscal } ear ending June 30. 1B9S
the report atks for appropriations of $17-
ODO 000 for compensations of postmasters ;
111 000,000 for cjerlt hire allowances , Jl COO-

for the free coinage of silver will be waged

directors of the .American Bimetallic union ,
who constitute the 1mlk of tb.fi silvec Jtadcra
In the three parlies , have decided to maintain
headquarter * In this city from which to send
out literature. The branch office at Chi-
tago will be connolldatod'-wltn theWnshlnc-
ton office , bul Ihe San Franclcco office is to
be continued. At the request of the direc
tors General A J Warner president of the
union has issued the following address to
the Sliver Leagues and Bimetallic unions of
the Vnlted States 'Silver hns lost Jn this
battle bul tbe battle for the overthrow of

astrous rtELlts that n.ubt attend upon tbo

ing revenues because revenues are tiol paid
in gold The allempt to maintain the gold
standard b ) perpetual loans tnutt also

contracting tbe cjirrencj and forcing down
prices so low that gold will come here of
Itself In Eucl quantities as lo constltule la
parl at least the currcnc ) with which re\-
unues are paid and no debtor nation can

therefore , leads to Inevitable ruin , tbe ono
by bankrupting the government and the
olhT by banVrupling Ihe people Either
policy will subjecl the Vnlted Stales abso
lutely lo Brlllfcb domination and hence the
rejoicing of tbe British press over the de
feat of silver here
"The victor ) for gold Is a victory of trust *
and tvndlcated wealth brought about by
corruption and coercion and not a victory
of the people or for the people and It can
not last. There- must be an ind also to the
constant appreciation of mone } Tbe ap

transfer tbe bulk of all tbe wealth of this

bands as the ceaseless all pervading power
of an appreciating mone } standard No civ
ilization can htand against II Ii musi end ,
or the foundations upon which free institu

Iherefore for the nstoratlon of silver must
go on without abatement and I urge upon
