NEW PENNY POSTAGE Two Cents an Ounce to Great Britain the New Rate. BE OPERATIVE NEXT OCTOBER Postoffice Officials Believe Increased Com m ercial Intercourse Will Be the Result. W ashington, June 4 — Postm aster- General M eyer announced today that an agreem ent had been reached with the British governm ent providing for letter postage of 2 cents an ounce between the United States and Great Britain and Ireland, to become oper ative O ctober 1, 1908. The m atter 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. M eyer’s course in urging a “restricted union with Eng land.'* On O ctober 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 3 cents a half-ounce flat to 5 cents per ounce, and 3 cents each additional ounce, which is the present rate b e tween the United States and countries with which we do not have direct steam shin com m unication, but on mail on which we have to pay an additional charge to countries through which it passes in transit. U nder the articles of the Universal Union, however, any two states can form a restricted union. Exam ples of restricted unions are those i\pw existing which perm it a 2 cent an ounce letter rate between the United States and Canada Postm aster General M eyer believes this reduction in the rate to the U nited Kingdom ultim ately 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 com m ercial intercourse. M anufacturers, he says, are increasing their sales in England and must rely to a great extent upon mails for o r ders and increase of trade. “ F urther,” 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 m estic rates.” PREPARES FOR EMERGENCY. WORK OF BOYS. FLIES WITH OWN W INGS. Youthful R obbers C onfess to Holding Up G reat N orthern. Great Falls, Mont., June 2.—The hold-up of the northbound Great N orthern train at the stockyards, about a mile and a half from this city, was the work of three boys, who now occupy cells in the city jail. A fourth youth, who adm its having as sisted m planning the hold-up, but who took no active part, is also a prisoner. T he (juaret have m ade a com plete confession to the police. The names of the four boys are: A lbert Hatch, aged 15; W illiam Randall, aged 17; H arry Rheams, aged 15, and George Cresswcll, aged 16. According to the story told by R an dall. Rheams and Cresswell, the hold up was planned and carried out under the generalship of H atch the young est of the four, who is said to have turned the switch, ordered the engi neer to back up and to have gone through the passenger coaches with the conductor, forcing the latter at the point of a gun to collect from the passengers. A ccording to the other boys, it was also H atch who shot W illiam Dem psey and narrow ly missed shooting Conductor Jack Hayes. Rheams stated that H atch, after they had left the scene of the hold up, proposed that they cross Sun river to the M ontana Central line and hold up passenger train No. 2:56 from Butte, which was due in tw o or three hours. Because he dem urred. Rheams states, H atch drew his revolver and threatened to kill him. He was dissuaded from the second attem pt at train robbery by the two youths who were with him. The stories told by the boys, with the exception of H atch, agreed in the main details. T hey state that the hold-up was planned tw o nights be fore. it being decided to rob the train the first dark night. Frenchm an Beat» All R ecords With Aeroplane In Italy. Rome, June 1.—Leo de la Grange, the French aeroplanist, made a new experim ent with his aeroplane here this m orning, which was so successful that it filled the spectators w ith ad m iration. H e'su rp assed his own rec ord by flying for 15 m inutes and 30 seconds, only then com ing down be cause he received a signal to do so, and also because the m otor of his m a chine cannot hold sufficient gasoline to operate it much longer than that. D uring that space of time M. de la Grange made nine and three-fourths rounds of an establish«:d course in the m ilitary field, nam ely nix kilom eters, a little over nine and nine-tenths of a mile, at a velocity of 60 kilom eters, or 37.2 miles an hour. The aeroplane was first pushed for ward by M. de la G range’s associates, and as soon as the m otor was put into action, the m achine rose w ithout dif ficulty, keeping from seven to ten feet above the ground. It moved sm ooth ly and turned easily, the rounds of the course following each other w ith out interruption, and not once did the aeroplane touch the ground. It was a m arvelops exhibition, which would have won De La G range a prize of $5000 had it occurred in France. It at least confirms his possession of the A rchdeacon cup. BIG RAIL CONTRACT. Saturday, May 30. W ashington, May 30.—T he dem o crats filibustering in the house to the end, and La Follette having led a rec ord filibuster in the senate, the six tieth congress adjourned for the ses sion at 11:50 o’clock tonight. T he last bills were signed by the president b e fore 11 o’clock, and both houses, which had with difficulty m aintained a quorum , scurried to their homes. W ashington, May 30.—Amid scenes of excitem ent w ell-night unparalleled in the senate chamber, the La Follette filibuster collapsed a little after 4 o’clock this afternoon, and the cur rency bill was passed by a vote of 43 to 22, four republican senators voting in the negative. W ashington, May 30.—A m ong the bills passed at today’s session of the house were the following: Providing life-saving apparatus on the Farallon Islands, off California; granting pensions on the surviving officers and enlisted men of the Texas volunteers, and providing for com pen sation to governm ent em ployes for in juries received while in the perform ance of their duties. Several pension bills also were passed. Friday, May 29. W ashington, May 2’9.— It has been a long time since the senate has been tied up by a filibuster with such slen der support ¿is was in evidence when La Follette undertook to defeat the conference report on the Aldrich- V reeland currency bill by talking it to death. The report was brought up and La Follette took the floor. He insisted that a quorum should be m aintained at all times, and up to 6 o ’clock he had dem anded 20 roll-calls. The senate was able to obtain m ore or less relaxation and at the sam e time keep the supporters of the bill in their seats. T he heat was excessive, and m any were very restless under this restraint. O n the 23d roll-call, at 7:15 P. M., upon m otion of Stone, the absence of a quorum was developed and the ser geant-at-arm s was directed to bring in absentees. At 2 o’clock in the m orning La F ol lette let it be known that he intended to speak until 8 or 9 A. M. Republican leaders say they will have a quorum from their own m em bership tom orrow , and that they will not be delayed by one or two m en fili bustering, if they have to keep con gress in session indefinitely. PU T MARINES ON GUARD. Uncle Sam to be S ure of Fair Elec tion in Panama. W ashington, June 1.—The Panam a presidential cam paign, % which is to culm inate in an election the first week in July, has recently developed “rev olutionary tendencies'’ to such an ex tent as to cause grave concern and the serious intention to employ severe m easures on the part of the American governm ent to insure a fair and hon est election, probably the first in the history of C entral America. The 500 American m arines stationed on the isthm us will be detailed to the elec tion places. As some precincts will need no arm ed supervision, and others will need several troops, they will be distributed w here they will do the m ost good. The call for a personal report from M inister Squiers is the result, it is ex plained, of new developments. At the same time, Mr. Squiers may be asked to explain certain newspaper com m ents to the effect that he has al lowed him self to become enthusiastic n favor of one of the candidates. Mr. Squiers will sail for the United States tom orrow . I INQUIRY TO CONTINUE. Wood Pulp Com m ittee to be Very Busy During Sum m er. W ashington, June 2.—The wood pulp and paper investigation com m it tee of the house, which presented its prelim inary report to that body sev eral days ago, will continue its inves tigations during the recess of con gress. It is the purpose of Chairman Mann to gather a great deal of sta tistical inform ation of the census bu reau and the D epartm ent of Com m erce and Labor during the coming summer. Subcom m ittees will also be appointed to visit paper mills in differ ent sections of the country and take testim ony, and it is possible the full com m ittee will hold a num ber of meetings. It is also the desire of Chairman Mann to investigate thoroughly the pulp wood question, and if it is pos sible the com m ittee will visit Canada for this purpose. Several letters have been sent to the publishers of news papers who failed to answer the first letter sent by the com m ittee asking for inform ation, and also to paper m anufacturers. These letters will be taken by an employe of the census bureau, and the inform ation contained In them put into shape to be of the m ost benefit to the committee. ROBBERS G ET CASH. G reat N orthern P assenger Train Held Up at G reat Falls. Butte, Mont., June 1.—A M iner spe cial from G reat Falls, M ont., says: The north bound G reat N orthern passenger train was held up this even ing about one mile and a half from this city by seven m asked m en at 12:30 ’clock, the train being run onto a sid ing by the robbers, who fired a fusil lade of shopts up and down the train. Wm. Dempsey, an A ugusta rancher, was shot through the leg in attem pt ing to escape from the train after it had stopped, and Conductor H ayes was compelled by the robbers to p re cede them in passing through the cars, he carrying a hat in which the passen gers were invited to dum p w hat cash they had about them . M osl of them deposited from $1 to $10, and the booty of the desperadoes is not be lieved to be greater than several hun dred dollars. W hile the passengers w ere being robbed, several of the highw aym en stood guard at the doors of the cars to prevent the passengers from leav ing. The robbers finally jum ped off the coaches and disappeared in the dark ness. Rain is falling heavily, and tlae night is so dark th at no trace of the robbers could be found, although posses were in pursuit w ithin 20 m in utes after the outlaw s had left the train. OPEN DOORA FARCE I Japan Prepares to Hold Manchu ria by Fortifying Herself. BUILDS IMPREGNABLE FORTRESS P ort A rthur is Being Strengthened Into Second G ibraltar—Foreign M erchants Excluded. Seattle, Wash., May 30— According to a special to the Times from Van couver, B. C., Japan has completely re versed the “ open door’’ policy in Man churia. W ith the arrival of the Ameri can battleship fleet in the Pacific and the possibility of trouble with the United States later on, Japanese states men are preparing for any emergency. Port Arthur, the former Russian stronghold, is being made virtually im pregnable, while the fortifications at Dalny, a seaport and railway terminus on the mainland, Occupied by the Jap anese, are being rushed to completion with feverish baste. A clash with the powers over a con tinuance of the discriminatory policy now being carried out in favor of the m ikado’s subjects is inevitable^ If Japan is compelled to back down, her surrender will bring its advantages. The Japanese are more curiously amused than alarmed over the proposed visit of the American fleet to the Orient. These ^re the conclusions reached by Q. C. Druce during a recent extensive tour through China, Japan and Corea. Mr. Druce is ex Mayor of Oxford, Eng land, and secretary of the Botanical So ciety of Great Britain. He is also cura tor of the herbarium of the University of Oxford. “ While the official classes are re served, the Japanese people are not the least perturbed over the dispatch of the American battleships to the Ori ent,* * Mr. Druce continued. “ Of course, everybody in the East, except the diplomats, associates the demon stration of American naval power with the M anchurian trade question. The famous open door policy advocated by all the white races is in leahty a nullity.’* PRO O F AGAINST SHELL. M onitor Florida Stands Firs o f Navy** Heaviest Guns. Thimble Shoal, in Lower Chesapeake Bay, May 29.—Disregarding the danger and apparently anxious to experience open war at sea, Commander John C. Quimby, Lieutenant Taussig and 20 men on the monitor Florida remained on board her today while 12-inch sheila were hurled at the great hulk from the great guns of the monitor Arkansas, anchored 300 yards off, with her broad-» side battery in full play on the target ship. When it was first planned to make the extraordinary test of the power of the guns in warfare, it was not dreamed of keeping any of the men aboard, but the plans for the test were changed suddenly today. Commander Quimby and his men eagerly volunteered to stay aboard their ship while she was submitted to the hammering of the big projectiles. The imminent danger dta not lessen their determination in the least. W hen the time came for the test, the Florida immediately steamed into her position. The Arkansas and her tender then anchored fore and aft off Thimble Shoal, 300 yards from the Florida with her broadside bearing upon the target ship. The Arkansas is in charge of Commander H arry M. Denbaugh, who with a detail of officers, took up his position on the bridge. The first shot was fired at a screen target raised above the main turret of the Florida and pierced the exact cen ter without a moment’s hesitation, giv- ng the men aboard the ship to under stand they need not think any of the projectiles would go wild. Then, according to the program, the Arkansas began firing heavily upon the Florida and the shells began hammer ing against the plates of the Florida, which stood under the bombardment without even showing signs of being crippled. As far as could be discerned from the use of the glasses the effect was not noticeable, but the experts on the Arkansas reported that the shells •were having terrific effect upon the Florida. During this bombardment the men aboard the Florida gave no signs of being displeased with their dare-devil experience, and gave no signal of dis tress. After the main bombardment the Ar kansas’ guns were directed against the big experimental mast which had been erected aft upon the Florida. It was 125 feet high and on it were two tur rets, in which dummies had been placed to show the effect on men in the fight ing tops during an actual engagement. Dummies also had been placed in the main turret of the Florida to show the effect of the impact of heavy shells upon them. The big guns made quick impression upon the mast target, and if men had been in the place of the dummies they would not have lasted more than two shots. The “battle” will result in much val uable information which will be used by the experts of the nqfvy in the plan ning of future men-o’-w'ar. It has the double effect of showing the power of American guns when directed against armor plate as it is actually presented in a fight at sea, and the strength o f the arm or in withstanding the impact of the 12-inch projectiles in warfare.
