' ' - Washington, Sept. . 20. -Bequisilions upon the' Postoffice Department":byr post-, masters for new two cent stamps are so large that the. contraqtors. are unable to supply the demand, and the Department consequently is reducing the amounts call-, ed for in requisitions." '-The contractors t present are able to furnish one and a !hajf million stamps daily ; but. this is much. less thad the dumber demanded.' During the early part' of the - present month the De partment distributed a large number of old two cent stamps among the ; smaller post-, offices, yet it is believed that with the ut most exertions of the' Department' fully one third of the postoffices.of the cbnntry will not .have . an adequate supply., of stamps upon the date "when the law . pro viding for the new letter rate goes into operation. : . Department officials " however; do not fear any serious obstruction of busi- uesa on mat account, as omces lacaing sup plies will be of the' smallest graded; where postmasters, from ignorance of the law or neglect, have failed to forward requisitions in season. ; .-. - ' - ' v. ,. .;" Connterfelt Treasury' Notes Relief fr Pensaeola Fever, Sufferers Ca idets Dismissed. .-, ,r . , - j ' ' IByiTelegraph to the Morning Star.l .. , .; I Washington, September 2L-rTp sup; ply certain omissions in the order recently issued by the Postmaster General,' forbid ding the delivery of registered letters to M.
