C., July 8.?"In its pdrertteht efforts to secure | toria! power, the Post Office Department has broken all records," today declared Jonathan Bourne, Jr., who is chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Railway Mall Pay. "The Department Mil, H. R. 17042, provides that 'not exceeding' certain rates shall be paid to steam railroads for transportation of the mall. The same bill a too contains , a clause compelling the railroads to carry mall. % "It is claimed that 'not exceeding' is but a continuance of existing.law, , 'but heretofore the railroads have not been compelled by law to carry mall. They are supposed to have accepted , the ratee as a voluntary act which In itself was assumed to be sufficient guarantee that rates will not be too low and it was only necessary for , Congress to fix maximum 'rates. But this assumption was not sound as a ; railroad would hardly dare to refuse to carry aaail because of irritation - from such action In the community In which the road operated. "Tbe Interstate. Commerce Com mission is now authorised to fix maximum rates, it being left to tha 1 railroads to fix the minimum. It would be considered preposterous that the Commission should fix the I maximum rates it "which railroads . must carry freigt and lea re the ship ] pers fix the minimum. Yet this it r tho very thing0that the Post Office s Department proposes for mall pa? r in the departmental bill.

In 1852, June 1st, he married Mary Ann Tafikard, daughter of Ramon Tankard. Nine Children blessed their home of which his wife and seven of them survive him. He was a faithful and consistent member of Zlon Church; had been a member of the vestry for fifty years and warden for forty-41 ve years. He was always ready and willing to help a good aause. He was of a family whose lineage had been strong and conspicuous In its social and public life from Its very earliest history. He spent all of his many and useful years here, and he had become one of the strong towering landmarks of the community in Its business, social and religious life. He was a man of strong mind, firm conviction, honest purpose, polished manners, forceful presence and attractive personality In ita broad sense. He was never too tired to please his family. His father died when he waa veryl small, then his uncle raised htm. After he was married he looked out t for his mainer and two sisters as long * as they lived. His mbther lived to be one hundred and one, his sisters, ? one lived to be 83 and one 89. \ A A precious one from us has gone. - A voles ws loved Is stilled; i A place Is vacant In or home, o Which never can be filled. k >- Ood in His wisdom has recalled s- Tho b?M HI. 1ot? hid ft Ten. ?lA?d though hi. body rtombor. noor - ~;Td? i TO PARLEY WITH 1 _ mm likely To Accept The Invitation Of The Mediator*. !

Carranxa's answer has not yet been sent to the mediators, but no doubt wa8 expressed by those in close touch with the situation as to what the answer would be, according ty travelers from Saltlllo. The Constitutionalists position, it was said, is that an agreement to accept a provisional government most cause the outbreak of other revolutionary movement.
