June 4.—-Postmaster- General Meyer announced today that an agreement had been reached with the British government providing for letter postage of 2 cents an ounce between the I nited States and Great Britain and Ireland, to become oper ative October 1. 1908. I he matter of “penny postage.” as it is called in England, has been under consideration for some time, and as far back as last July President Roose velt approved Mr. Meyer's course in urging a "restricted union with Eng land.” On October 1. 1907, the Universal Postal Union, which governs the in ternational postage transactions of ' the various civilized countries, re duced the rate of letter postage from 5 cents a half-ounce flat to 5 cents per ounce, and 3 cents each additional ounce, which is the present rate be tween tile United States and countries with which we do not have direct steamship communication, hut on mail on which we have to pay an additional charge to countries through which it passes ill transit. Under the articles of the Universal Union, however, any two states can form a restricted union. Examples of restricted unions are those now existing which permit a 2-cent an ounce letter rate between the United States and Canada. Postmaster General Meyer believes this reduction in the rate to the United Kingdom ultimately will re sult in an increase in receipts, because it has been found that a reduction in the letter rate resulted finally in in creased revenue. He is also of the opinion that a lower postage will lead to a freer commercial intercourse. Manufacturers, he says, are increasing their sales in England and must rely to a great extent upon mails for or ders and increase of trade. “Further," he stated, “this will be a great boon to our adopted English- speaking citizens and their connection here, as it will enable them to keep up correspondence with their relations and friends in the old country at do mestic rates." PREPARES FOR EMERGENCY. Heney Fears Enemies May Get Galla gher and Plans Accordingly. San Francisco, June 4 Convinced that the “higher ups" have determined to kill former Supervisor James I.. Gallagher. Assistant District Attorney Francis J Heney announced yes terday that lie will dismiss the case in which Abraham Ruef is charged with bribing former Supervisor J J. Furey, because Gallagher's testimony before the grand jury led to the in- dittnient. The testimony of a <!■"id tit'll given before a grand jury < ""t be used in future action Repeat'd attacks on Gallagher's property with dynamite and continuous threats against his life have led Heney to take steps to pre vent the loss of Gallagher's testimony through his death. It is Henry’s purpose to Ide a new information against Ruef in the same premises ami call Gallagher as a wit ne-s at the preliminary hearing. If his testimony is taken in this way, it will be on record The necessity for such unusual meth od« is believed to be urgent by the members of the prosecution, w ho fear f ir their own lives as well a - for that of Gallagher This probably will be tile next pro cedure against Rm f in the graft i - io s , and it is proposed to tai ' it as rapid ly as possible, as th- prosecution be lieves Hi.it the "higher ups" are be coming more desperate every day.
