There were 15.MS1 appointments of postmasters during the yeor and tho re movals of postmasters fnr cause showed i decrease. There were 4.462 postofflcs dls continued, of whh'h 2.163 resulted from tho extension of rural free delivery, the. sala ries of the postmasters of the latter ofllces being I121.332.00O.

Rnral Hontea and Agents. There are now In operation 19,390 rural free delivery routes. It ia estimated tl-at 8,260 additional routes can be tstablif-hed out of the appropriation now cvillnblo, making 22,678 which will be In operation or ordered established by March 1, 1901. iTo maintain the service on the routes dtflng the fiscal year from July 1, 1904, to June 10. 1905, will require 1.1,5f.0O0. If congress provides for an increased number of agents as recommended TVlll require about $19,000,000 to maintain and in stall the service. If the maximum s.ilnry of the carriers Is Increased from W0' to 17IS0 ner annum, as recommended, .'t Will necessitate an Increase In the above cstl mate of about 26 per cent. Mr. Bristol's report further says: An Investigation, which is still In prog ress, has ihown that for a number of yea.;s supplies for the free delivery service have not been purchased with an eye single to the public interests.

To obtain the views of representative rail roads, all Interested ahippera on the promul gation of railroad tariffs, the interatate commerce commission has fixed a hearing on the subject to be held December 17. The commission aaya .that it haa always held the option, and has officially so de creed, that the law i elating to the pub lication and filing of tariffs appliea to export and Import traffic aa well aa to domeatlc traffic. Thla requirement of tha law la respect to export and Import ship ments continues to be disregarded to a greater or less extent and It Is believed to ba the duty of the commission to insist upon Its observance. To thla end It ia proposed to give gen eral notice that from and after January 1. 1904, the commission will require the publication and tiling of tariffs on export and Import traffic the same as on domestic traffic, unless convinced that the obligation to do so is not Imposed by the. statute.

SIOUX INDIANS COMING TO WASHINGTON Koll Blood Omnha Appointed Teacher nt the Roaritlaaj School on the Heservatton nt the Reqnest of the Tribe. tKrom a Btaff Correspondent. 1 WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.- Special Tele gram.) Unless some agreement can be reached betwevn Omaha. nd Washington regarding proposuls for the construction of the new quartermaster's supply house lu Omaha, bldn for the new building will be thrown out and new ones Invited. Col onel Frenclh who Is in charge of construo tlnn In the quartermaster's office said today that the bids for the contemplated build ing la Omaha were considerably higher than the amount appropriated for the new structure, $75,000. Specifications provided that In the event bids exceeded the amount of the appropriation that bidders should name the prlee per linear foot . for con struction so that the building could be shortened to come within the appropria tion. . The lowest bid received would de crease the size of the building- thirty-two feet, making It CIS feet Instead of 350 feet as originally planned. Thla reduction, Colonel French contends, is very vital and it Is his Intention unless he sees new light to recommend a n advertisement and abro gation of the present bid. Colonel Pull man, formerly of the quartermaster's de partment at Omaha planned the structure contemplated and fixed upon the Idea of having each bidder indicate the amount per linear foot he would knock off In event that the total amount of the bid should exceed $75,000. Colonel French said today that possibly, unusual conditions . in. the price of material and labor made the blda submitted higher than the appropriation. He believed, however, that with readver tlsement it would be possible to secure the erection of the building along the line or iginally designed without ' a modification of lta site.
