The association by another resolution heartily Indorsed the recommendation of Postmaater-General ' fVon Meyer to congress for the estab lishment of postal savings banks, and . ' appealed to congress to take early ac rtloa in the matter.

Tho following resolution was also adopted: ,-V. "Whereas tenure in office is lmport ient and necessary to efficiency in pub Ua service, we urge our delegation in "congress to give preference to the In- rcumbent where erricieni service uas been rendered." . . Description and Detail. President Mlnto was the first speak er of the afternoon his remarks being along the line of the "good of the ur der." He said, among other thing: Discipline am system in every i'.o lall are absolutely necessary in ordi r to record tho fewest number of errors of postul f i'o employe.1!." "VVc should urge as far as possible the naming of all streets and proper num bering of houses. "All posloi'fleo employes should en tourage as far as possible not only ouslness men but Individuals to use all return envelopes or advise writing re turn on their mail. This would save an endless amount of trouble. "There is still another matter that might seem a little delicate Bubject. and that is to Impress upon our em ployes the necessity and importance of being courteous and accommodative to the publc at all times." Fi E. Whitney of Portland, chief clerk of the railway mail service, spoke briefly on his end of the work. He was followed by Inspector E. C. Clement, who iked on "Rural Delivery." . Mr. Clement stated that there are now In the United States over 40.000 rural de livery routes, scattered throughout tho entire country. Everywhere where there are people In any numbers tho depart ment naa rouna a wjy xo give mem this service when they have asked for it. Benefits of Rural Delivery.

I. emails, France, Aug. Wilbur Wright made good his aeronautic ululms at the Lemans race truck late this aftemodn when he sailed his aero plane JH kilometers in uirce minutes and five seconds. At all times during the brief flight tho big aeroplane was under" perfect control and the small crowd that witnessed tho performance was wrought Into a frenzy of enthus iasm. They crowded around the aero naut whon he alighted and congratu lated him with characteristic fervor. Only the fact that there was consider able doubt as to when Wright would make his Inltlul attempt kept down the crowd. Wright sailed his mnchlne at an average height of I'll feet. He exe cuted a number of difficult maneuvers soaring and dipping and at one time slightly changing his course In order to demonstrate his mastery. It being the first flight of tho machine. Wright did not cure to put It to too severe a test, preferring to alight and over haul tin; machine Immediately to dis cover If any dofects had cropped out. After going over the machine ho an nounced that ho had found nothing wrong nd that he would probably make an extended flight Monday. Among those who witnessed today's trial were several French and Russian army officers. They were enthusiastic over the porformunce. lib; !"' .

A constitution and by-laws were adopted and a large num ber signed the roll of the association. R. B. Mundelle was pre-sent and ad dressed tlier- meeting briefly. Among other things he said: "It is a fact that the postmasters of the fourth class are already practically in the classified service. It is the policy of the ad ministration that postmasters shall bo retained In office as long as they are efficient." BATTLESHIP FLEET IN HARBOR OF AUCKLAND " ' (rnltea Press Leased Wire.) I. Auckland. N. Z.. Aug. 8, 10 a. m. "The .American battleship fleet anchored ibere this morning, having covered prac tically half of its voyage around the f. world since leaving Hampton Roads on December 16 last year. It still has 10, 000 miles to steam before the review in February 22 at Hampton Roads, or a distance which is only a few thous--and miles less than the actual clrcum fference of the globe at the equator. The actual number of miles which ithe battleships have covered since put Hlng out from Hampton Roads is 20, S44. They have been gone 296 days. Jand, not counting Honolulu, which Is -far from btng home land, the 13.000 officers and men have not seen a sight i0f their own country since leaving hau TFrancisco on July 7. They will not again see the flag of the United States waving over any possession of the United States until Manila is reached. October 31, by the first squadron of : ..the fleet. The second squadron, which v'wlll stop at Amoy, China, will not reach "Jilanlla until November 7. J The navy department hss not yet ordered the exact route of the fleet from Manila -through Suez and across the Atlantic. If the monster fleet Is "to arrive back nome again oy reuruury il as has been anounced. there will be 'precious little time for visits en route. Three thousand and fifty miles was ' the longest single leg of the Journey i from Hampton Roads to San Francisco, .that being the distance from Callao to iWagdalena bay. But the lap which the fleet has just completed by Its arrival "at Auckland, steaming from Honolulu, lis 3.S60 miles. Then from Albany, Aus., ito the Philippines In a Jump of 3,800 -miles. The welcome the fleet will receive at Auckland Is only a forerunner of what il will receive at Sydney, Melbourne and Albany. Aus.. at Yokohama. Japan, and at Amoy. China. At each of these ' porta preparations are already well un-"r-der wav for lavish entertainment. The dficlal Itinerary of the fleet from. MUCKianu lo Manna is as ioiju&. ic-iv,.

In observance of the day the Ameri cans will remain aboard their ships to day and no demonstration of any suit will be made in responso to the noisy welcome accorded the fleet. Shortly after the ships anchored Admiral Sperry received an official visit from Mayor Myers and representatives of the New Zealand parliament, which adjourned yesterday for a week in order that its member might give themselves over unreservedly to the entertainment of the American sailors and officers. Tomorrow (Monday) Admiral Sperry and hU staff will go ashore and will re ceive a formal welcome on a dais erect ed on the shore end of tho Queen street wharf. Sir Joseph Ward, the premier, will make the welcoming speech, to which the admiral will reolv. Members of the cabinet, parliament and officers of every important town, liomugh and country district In the dominion will be present to make the welcome an henrtv as possible.

But no. ho went ahead paying out thousands to anyone that came along, and now ho Is suffering for it. I don't know how his bankruptcy proceedings will come out. I understand he has no legal standing , in court. "Tim entire proceeding came as a sur-: prise to me. llary had talked over the bills and said they were not within reason and that people were trying to make the expenses Just as heavy as they could because he was wealthy. Ho told me he would surprise some of them somo day, and he said he could get out of the mix by. going Into bankruptcy. , I iiUin t UilnK he would oo it. however. "People will never understand what I had to go through. If I wore a new j drt'H.s they thought I' was squandering ; money", if I wore tho same dress twice, Harry was broken up. No matter which way I turned people drew some fal.se conclusion. It would have been better if I had ridden in a streetcar, but If someone had happened to recognizo me I would have lost my clothes to souve nir hunters. I honestb- think some peo ple would be willing to strip every but ton off my clothes, they were so terribly curious." O'Reilly's Going" to Hare Els. Attorney Daniel O'Reilly, who Is credited with doing much of the work that kept Thaw out of the chair and wiio iias been a close friend of both Mr. and Mrs. Thaw throughout the lonR case, was astonished when he heard that he had filed a petition in bank ruptcy. He said: "I am goln to take steps nt once to protect my claim. He says he paid me $11, oou. He paid me more than that. He says lie owes me $5,000. Ho owes mo more than that, and what Is more, lie will pay it- Thaw has $5,000 a month from the coke ovens alone. He has an income of $80,000 a year and can pay every cent he owes. True, ho Is td;ort of ready cash, but he can pay his debts and lie will pay my claim. O'Reilly may peek to have Mrs. Thaw appointed guardian f the estate and person of her husband.
