Next Meeting to Take Plare In the I'nlted States Capital In 1897 Work and Obiects of the Asso ciation. The Universal Tostal union holds a congress once in five years to determine what changes are needed in regulations povernitifrthe handling of international mail. The sixth is to be held in Wash ington in ISO.'. The director of the executive committee of the Universal Postal union, says the Philadelphia J. lines, comes to the Lnited .states on fell invitation of the postmaster general, to make arrangements for the meeting at Washington. The delegates will be entertained in New York as well as in Washington, for in New York they will have the best possible opportunity for examining the American system of handling the foreign mails, which is the most perfect system in the worldi 1 1 is possible that they will be takeri west to see the operations of the postal systems in the other cities in St. Louis, where the trolley car service origi nated, in Chicago and Cincinnati. There are thirty-eight countries in the postal union, and the mail from more than 200,000 local post offices is handled in the international system. The United States alone receives 82,650,000 for foreign postage each year and pays out less than that sum for the service. The international mail is car ried at a profit, while the domestic mail is curried at a loss ol sd.U'J.),()!iO a year. The fact that there is a profit in hand ling international mail is the text of a good many postal reformers in Eng land. We collect $2!!0,0!)0 a year froni recipients of letters from foreign points on which postage has not Injon prepaid. Ihis is equal to one-tenth of the sum received for prepaid letters. Of the sum received on letters hound outward the United States gets only a share. Often there is actually a loss to this country in forwarding n letter to a remote point. Every country through which the letter passes collects toll from us on these letters. On the letters received not fully prepaid we collect double postage, and the entire amount belongs to us. We have no reason, then, to complain of the number of let ters which come to us unpaid; yet the double postage i.i a penalty intended to be a constant reminder to the people of the necessity of prepaying postage. In spite of the penalty, one-tenth of the foreign mail received in the United States is not fully prepaid. Probably this is because the man who sent the letter is not subject to the penalty. 1 he chief question to be considered at the congress of is'.)7 is the proposi tion to make the intermediate nations handling a letter transport it for noth ing. 1 Ins proposition is made in the interest of .simplifying the accounts of the postal service. Under the conven tion now in force the nation by which a letter is forwarded pays to each inter mediate nation 2 francs per kilo for all mail in-transit. This increases mate rially the cost of forwarding letters to distant points. For instance, a letter to 1 urkey will go from New York to London, then to Helgium or Holland, to (icnnany, to Austria, to Hungary and then to Turkey. A kilo is two and ono- lift 1 pounds or thirtv-flve and one- fifth ounces. Although the postul union curries, u half-ounce for 5 cent. the average of letter-weight is leg than that maximum. The estimates of the postal union are made on a basis of three letters to the ounce. Therefore, 'i fnines, or ;!.a cents, will carry Itm let ters through one intermediate country. On 10(1 letters to Turkey the United States post olllee department Would tut v s.O cents to each of the inf ennediate unit ri. -i five in' all. This would uiaounl to more than 1 4 edits on each letter a considerable t.ix, and one hit h v i.uld put "penny pu.,t;ige" on f.ir. i "i li'itils quite o il of I he question.
