Countries of the Civil- -; lied World.' r- TO DECREASE RATE - FOR FOREIGN MAIL (Journal Special Service.) Rome. April T. The sixth meeting of the International Postal congress is In session today with delegates present from all the countries of the civilised world. Conaplcuous among those pres ent were Edward Bosewater of Omaha and Captain N. M. Brooke of Washing ton, the official delegates from the United Statee. Captain Brooks Is the chief of the bureau of foreign malls of the United Btates postofflce department, and as a result of his many years of service and wide experience he is re garded as one of the foremost author! ties on postal matters In the world. The International Postal anion, under whose auspices the - congress is held. was organised originally about 40 years ago by a few of the leading nations of the world, its first congress being held at Bern.r which city still remains the headquarters and clearing-house of the union. At the present time (1 nations are by treaty connected with the union, Afghanistan being the only country not a member. . The present congress, which Is ex. pected to be In eession several weeks. will consider all those questions Involv Ing foreign-mail and their transport-, tion and postal appliances. One of the principal questions to come up Is that of the rate for foreign postaga. which at present Is t cents for . each half ounce, first clasa It is the general opinion that this rate Is too high for the weight allowed. It is probable that the congress will decree one of two things that the rate of foreign postage be d. creased to S cents, or possibly 1 cents for each half ounce of first-class mall, or that the weight of first-class mall for a cents shall be doubled. The question of devising sj better sys tem for the transportation of foreign mails, will receive attention and the adoption of a universal postage stamp will also come up for consideration. In connection with the last-named subject the congress will consider the system recently adopted by the Dutch govern ment, namely, the acheme of keeping on aale In. the postofflce of, the principal towns a supply of stamps correspond ing to the value of t cents of the prin cipal countries of the world, which are sold at - a very slight advance on the face -valuevr't'hls plan enables a writer, In sending a letter to a foreign coun try, to enclose postage for a reply when desired. .
