SENATOR JOHN M. GEARIN. Governor Chamberlain Appolnta Suc cessor to Mitchell. Salem, Dec. 14. John M. Gearin was yesterday formally appointed United States senator to fill the vacan cy caused by the death of Senator John H. Mitchell, and his commission was taken to him by W. B. Ayer, who was in Salem on business. The appoint ment caused no surprise, for it has been believed by all who have given the matter any attention that Mr. Gearin would receive the appointment. The selection meets general commendation here and the opinion is quite frequent ly expressed that the new senator will be of material assistance in securing from congress the recognition Oregon expects in the way of public improve ments. "I shall start for Washington just as soon as possible probably on Satur day," said Mr. Gearin. "Governor Chamberlain made the appointment quickly in order that Oregon might be represented at Washington at once. I ought to respond by going immediately, and I sbatl do so.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Matin, under dale of December 15, says the sodden re turn of the government to reactionary measures has aroused the interest of the revolutionaries, who are holding meetings and parsing resolutions de claring their determination to reeist the government. As the resolutions are passed they are forwarded to the min isters, who do not reply to them. A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Journal, dated December 15, says: "At a meeting of engineera tonight it was resolved to demand the immedi ate release of Schmidt, the leader of the mutiny at Sevastopol. "Alarming reports are arriving con cerning the troops at Moscow, who ap pear to be tboroughy disaffected, and who, in addition to demanding in creased pay and shorter tetms of serv ice!

The annual report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General P. V. DeGraw says there has been a decrease of 575 In the new post masters commissioned, as compared with the previous year. The actual number of postofficee in the United States at the close of the fiscal year was: First class, 275; second class, 1,258; third class, 4,120; fourth class, 62, 478; total, 68,131. . This, the report says, was a reduc tion, resulting mainly from the discon tinuance of 3,492 fourth class postofnees during the year by reason of the estab lishment of rural free delivery. The aggregate compensation of the post masters thus displaced amounted to $198,994. City free delivery had been extended during the year to 44 new postofflces, as against 69 in 1904. The gioss re ceipts of free delivery offices during the year had increased 8 per cent and the cost only 2 per cent. Mr. DeGraw renews the recommend ation that a rate of 3 cents per pound or any fractional part thereof be fixed on packages not exceeding five pounds mailed at the distributing postoffice of any rural free delivery route. This rate should apply only to packages de posited in the local postoffice for deliv ery to boxes of patrons on routes eman ating from that office, and not to mail transmitted from one office to anothar.
