Postoffice Officials Believe Increased
v v
I Commercial Intercourse Will
Bo the Result.
'
Washington, June 4. Postmaster
General Meyer announced today that
nn agreement had been reached with
the .British government providing for
letter postage of 2 cents an ounce
between the United States and Great
Britain and IrelanH, to become oper
ative October 1, 1908.
The 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 the United States and countries
with which we do not have direct
steamship communication, but on mail
on which we have to pay an additional
charge to countries through which it
passes in 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-ccnt 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 xf 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
mesttc rates.

Heney Fears Enemies May Get Galla
gher and Plans Accordingly.
San Francisco, June 4. Convinced
that the "higher-ups" have deicrmined
to kill former Supervisor James
Gallagher, Assistant District Attorney
Francis J. Heney announced yes
terday that he will dismiss the case
in which Abraham Ruef is charged
with bribing former Supervisor J
Furey, because Gallagher's testimony
before the grand jury led to the in
dictment.
The testimony of a dead man given
before a grand jury cannot be us'ed
in future action. Repeated 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 Hency's purpose to file a new
information against Ruef in the same
premises and call uauagner as a wit
. . . ... t l : T.
ness at tne preliminary wiiik
. . . .. ? ... . i
If
his testimony is taken in this way, it
will be on record.
The necessity for such unusual meth
ods is believed to be urgent by the
members of the prosecution, who fear
for their own lives as well as for that
of Gallaeher.
This orobablv will be the next pro
eedure acrainst Ruef in the Kraft cases
and. it is proposed to take it as rapid
ly as possible, as the prosecution dc
lieves that the "higher-ups' are oe
coming more desperate every day.
Scores Perish in Tornado.
Wichita Falls, Tex., June 4. Scores
of persons are believed to be dead in
the path of a tornado which is sweep
ing Texas today. Reports indicate
that it is the most terrific of all the
storms which have visited this part o
the country in the last month. Com
munication from most of the damaged
area is cut off. Wires are down and
railroad tracks are blocked. Many
small towns are known to have been
struck by the twister, but no definite
information could be obtained as to
the extent of damage this atternoon.

SHOOTS AT DREYFUS.
Military Journalist Seeks Revenge for
Insult to French Army.
Paris, June 5. Just at the close of
the ceremonies attending the canoni
zation of Emilc Zola in the Pantheon
yesterday, when the president of
1 ranee, the premier and a host of
ministers of state were takintr their
departure, Louis Antheno Gregoris a
military writer of note, drew a re
volver and fired two shots point-blank
at Major Alfred Dreyfus, for whose
liberty Zola fought and won.
Men distinguished in all walks of
life filled the Pantheon and, when the
shots rang out, there was great ex
citement in fear that the president
had been assassinated, but even the
attempt on the life of Major Dreyfus
created a profound impression. Sol
diers speedily surrounded Gregoris
and he was aken to jail, bruised and
bleeding, with his clothes almost torn
from his back.
Major Dreyfus was not seriously injured-
A bullet entered his forearm,,
but did not injure fhe bone. At a
late hour the official statement was
made that his condition was very fa
vorable and that no complications
were feared.
With regard to the erasons for Gre
goris' act, the opinion prevails in Paris
that there is much truth in his avowal
that he was driven to the deed by the
appeals to hatred with which the anti
Semitic papers have been filled since
the government resolved to place the
body of Zola in the Pantheon.
PLANS TO HONOR FLEET.
Festivities in Auckland Will Continue
Four Days.
Auckland, N. S. W., June 5. Fes
tivities to last over four days have
been arranged for the entertanimcnt
of the men of the American battle
ship fleet and the governor of New
Zealand, all the federal officials, the
mayors and the municipal authorities
are to participate in the welcome. On
Portland, June 4. Governor Cham
berlain's plurality over Cake for
United States senator will be about
1700. He now has 1546. Complete
returns from a large number of coun
ties increase previous estimates. For
example, Malheur, which had pre
viously. been in the Chamberlain col
umn by 100. nearly doubles that plu
rality by giving him 190, with five
small precincts still to hear from.
Cake's previous lead of 18 in Benton
county is' cut down to eight, while in
Clatsop the full vote raises the Demo
crat's plurality from 300 to 357. Crook
county, too, gives Chamberlain a lead
of 224 over his competitor,-- The full
vote of Douglas shows that each sen
atorial candidate has 1890 votes. If
this is correct, it shows a slight lqss
to the Democratic candidate. Gilliam
county comes in with only 20 for the
Republican nominee, while Lake,
hitherto in dispute, adds 70 to the
Chamberlain column. Lane cOUntv.
however, as the country precincts are
heard trom, continues to acnl to the
Cake figures. In Wallowa county,
with 11 out of 20 precincts. Cake has
a lead of 113, which will -probably
iiiicii uu. iianon, wim every vote
counted, shows just 11 for Cake, while
Multnomah, with the count complete
and a total of more than 25.000 for
the two candidates, shows just 991 for
the governor.
Mr. Cake has carried 19 counties
and Mr. Chamberlain 13, counting
Douglas a tie. The state at large,
outside of Multnomah,"on the vote so
far at hand, has given Chamberlain a
plurality of 052. Seventeen counties
out of 33 are complete, and most of
thc others are practically complete.
It is not probable that, fhe final re
turns will make a difference of more
than 100 votes in Governor Chamber
lain's plurality one way or the other.
Hawley, Republican, is elected ' to
congress in the first district by 15.000
or more, and Ellis, Republican, by
15,000 or more in the second district.
Bean, Republican, for supreme judge,
has a very large vote, having no op
position, while Bailey. Republican, for
food and dairy commissioner, wins by
25.000 to 30.000.. Campbell. Republi
