PACKS IIIQ DEFICIT.
Postal Department Must Ask Congrcsa
for Appropriation.
Washington, May 23. Congress will
bo nsked nt tho opening of its noxt bos.
nlon to make an appropriation to cover
tho deficiencies in both the regular de
livery service and tho rural froo dollv
ory Hcrvlco of tho postnfllco department.
Potniastor General Payno announced
today that this deflclenry now aggro
gates exactly 227,300, of which (106,
000 in in tho free delivery branch. The
postmaitor general said ho vory much
regretted tho existence of tho deficit,
and for the first time publicly criticised
too administration ot A. w. Machon,
tho goneral superintendent of the free
delivery system, who la now on indefi
nite lonrn of absence.
"This ia not tho first tlmo that n do
licit ban occurred in the froo delivery
eervlco," said Mr. Payne. "I regret
its oxiatonco, At the opening ot tho
last congress Mr. Machon pointed out
that without additional appropriations
no more routes could bo ostabllshod bo
yond those ready to bo Installed Janu
ary 1. Ho maintained, however, that
if congrora appropriated (600,000 for
tho purpose tho work could bo contin
ued during the rest of tho fiscal year.
Thin appropriation waa promptly made,
but it wan exhausted. Despito this
fact, tho ofTko (froo dol ivory) was going
on increasing tho deficiency, and if wo
had not taken stops to curtail tho ex
penditures nnd suspond tho establishing
of routes until tho beginning of tlio
noxt flecAl year tho deficit would hnvo
lioon much larger, It was not gcod ad
ministration. "

Missionary Arrives Home to firing
Congo Prce State Abuses.
Up
Now York, May 10. After nix years'
missionary work along Kawai 'tiivtr, in
tho Congo free state, Hur. William
Morrison, of tho Amor lean Prosbytcrlan
mission, returned today on tho Cunard
lino. Air. Morrison, whoso etory of
the nbtiics that tho nativos of tho
Congo free state aro alleged to bo sub
jected to by the Congo administration,
has attracted some attention In London,
tays ho will furnish to thostato depart
mont moro ovldonce of these abuses.
Mr. Morrinon loft Luobo early In April.
On hearing bin story of abuses, tho
society for tho protection of the Aborig
lneo, in London, took up tlio matter,
and Mr. Morrison furnished a report to
Foreign fc'ocrotary Lansdowne. Tho re
port will be taken up by parliament on
May 20.
"I como hero to lay tho matter be
fore tho secretary of state," ho raid,
"and I belleva that tho action of those
In authority both hero and in England
will result In better conditions in tho
Congo froo stale. It in not a free state.
In Luobo, whero I havo been working,
you can buy a woman for (10. I have
not eon men sold, for their pcrvicos
aro too valuable. They are practically
forced to work, and this Amounts to
virtual slavery. The conditions aro
iiot growing any hotter. Tho things
that I have seen and the things that I
know by investigation are embodied in
my rojKKt to Lord Lansdowne, which I
shall present to the state department
here."
WILL IMPORT CIIINUSG.
South American Mlneownera Expect to
Override Popular Prejudice.
London, May 10. Tho importation
of ChinMo labor into Routh Africa was
decided upon in principal some time
ago, but no doflnlto plans have yet been
found regarding tho number to be im
ported not the conditions to govern the
Importation.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and
the big firms of the Rand are in Agree
ment that no othor solution of tho labor
difficulty is possible At preient half
the stamp at tho mine are idle becauso
only 60,000 Kaffirs are procurable,
when 160,000 men aro required. As a
consequence, tho conditions at Johan
nesburg aro daily growing worso and
business is slack. White laboro a
flocked thore at the close of the war,
but they wero nnablo to find satisfactory
employment, and discontent is rife.
This suits the Rand magnates, who
are loth lo accept tho role responsibili
ty for introducing yellow labor, nnd
hop that tho prevailing paralysis of
trado will toon load to a popular de
mand for tho importation of even tho
"hated ChiutM," so that tho mines
may bo net working at their full capac
ity, with a consequent revival of busi
ness depending thereon. Up lo the
present, however, the trading popula
tion of Bouth Africa Is bitterly opposed
to tho Importation of Chi new.
PALMA WILL AID TRUATIP.S.
He Will Urge Intcresta of America In the
Cuban Congrcas.
Havana, May 10. President Pal ma
today assured tho correspondent of tho
Associated Press that understandings
would bo reached on all Uie treaties be
tween tho Unitod States and Cuba, and
that tho signing of them will follow
shortly. Ho also ;ald ho would do all
ho pofsibly could to secure their ratifi
cation during tho present session of the
congress of Cuba, but it s generally
believed that tho reluctance of senators
to conclude further treaties beforo tho
reciprocity question is settled makes it
doubtful whethor the naval stations
can be occupied tieforo another roar.
The order of signing tho treaties will
be: First, tho Piatt amendment; sec
ond, tho naval stations; third, the Isle
of Pines, The question of obtaining
tlio toldiors payloan,"promjitly en
grossed public nttontlonjto tho exclusion
ot tho treat Iob, but tho more intelligent
ot the pooplo realize that tho conclusion
of tho treaties will mako tho loan more
easily and advantagtously obtainable

other Industries and 260 houses, leav
ing nearly a quarter ot tho city's popu

placed at (400,000.
Nobody knows bow the fire started.
When it was first noticed, it had se
cured a firm grip upon tho Cote factory.
Tho wind was blowing half a gale at
the time, and tho buildings in tho im
mediate vicinity were of snch a char
acter as to fall easy prey to the flames.
Tho burned district is practically the
ramo as that destroyed in 1870. The
river Yamaaaka flows through tho town
in tho shapo of a Jotter V. fit. Antolne

practlcaly everything sooth of that

FRUIT CROP IS QONIi ALSO.

Frosla Prevailing.
Putto, Mont., May 22. Ten feet of
snow is roported from Coutts, Mont.,
near tbo international boundary, today.
and tho thermometer ia ranging from 4
to o degrees below zero. Traffic on the
Great Northern ia seriously Interfered
with, and the trains aro being operated
only under the greatest difficulty. The ,
cuts of the road aro filled with drifted
snow.
Conservative estimates tonight place
the loss of stock at about (2,000,000,
and the number of head of stock lost is
figured at about 00,000. Tbla losa will
be swelled by the rnination of tho fruit
crop throughout Northern Montana,

The storm was followed by frost ot
the most damaging kind, and all garden

ranchers are leaving tlio lowlands in
anticipation of a disastrous flood.
SOUTH CHINA IN DANQER.
France Said to De Planning Coup While
Attention Is Distracted to North.
Victoria, B. 0., May 22. Alfred
Cunningham manager of tho Hong
Kong Daily Press, a passenger on the
Knza Maru, which anived last night,
said in an interview hero that Japanese
Jonrnullsts do not regard Russia's action
in Manchuria as surprising cr unantici
pated. Mr. Cunningham eays that
whilu attention is being maintained in
the north by Russian aggrossion, a mat
ter of far greater importance to Ameri
ca, Dritaln and Japan is being over
looked In tlio south; that is the aggres
sion of Franco in the Southern prov
inces. Mr. Cunningham is of tho opinion
that Franco and Russia aro acting in
concert, tho former in tho north and
the latter in tho south. He says
Franco has bribed tho officials of
Kwangsi and is waiting the opportunity
to pour troops into that province. Tho
south, said Mr. Cunningham, is now
on tlio verge of a far greater interna
tional crisis than that now on in the
north. At present the rebellion In
Kwangsi is practically brigandage on a
large eralo.
Tho rebellion in South China, bo
raid, In another fuctor. Thero is no
doubt but that tho reformers have or
ganized the brigands nnd a rebellion
which will bo far greater than tho Tul
ping lebelllon over waa will break out
beforo long in South China. Larea
quantities of arms are being shipped
in to the rebels, chiefly from the United
States, and headed by tho reformers a
movement will break out pro-foielgn in
Its nature, to overthrow the emnrees
dowager nnd reinstate Kwang Su.
