Judging from the first fruits of the international postal arrangement be- tween the United States and Germany, the time is not far distant when Great Britain and France will be glad to avail themselves of the same advan- tages. The Havre, of the North German Lloyds, was the first ship upon which the experiment of sorting mail during an ocean voyage was tried. An immense volume of mail was sorted by two clerks only, between Southampton and New York, so that letters for local delivery, 77. e. in New York and Brook- lyn, were distributed at least six hours earlier than they would otherwiSe have been, while the gain in time to distant points was about twenty-four horu's. These facts, alone, seems to fully war- rant the high hopes of the administra- tion respecting the success of the pro- iect. A recent dispatch from \Vashington says that Postmaster-General Wana- maker is getting down to hard-pan in regard to the postal subsidy appropri- ation and the plan on which he proposes to administer it to foster commercial relations with countries in respsct to which'the United States has now very limited facilities of mail communica- tion. As a result of hisldifi'erent interviews with steamship men and others. it is believed that the following projects, among others, may be undertaken. The Pacific Mail Steamship company will increase the present tonnage by 15,000 or 20,000 tons by the construction of fast new vessels, coming within the provisions of the law, so as to earn the highest rate of compensation. The same company will probably increase its service between Panama and San Francisco one trip each month, This would give to New York a ser- vice to Panama three times a month in- stead of twice. It is further contem- plated to accelerate the service between New York and Colon twenty-four hours, and between San Francisco and the same point at least four days. The Pacific mail service to Acapulco via Panama, now monthly, is to be a tri- monthly service, or else a semi-monthly service will be established between Champerico. This arrangement will shorten the distance between New York and Panama from nine days to five. A direct service from New Orleans by way of Panama with 14-knot steamers of 2,500 tons burden is also foreshadowed. Every indication points to the opening wedge of a line of subsidized steamers to points hitherto comparatively inac- cessible. oo.—-——-—-—'-‘— BIBS. HALFORD DEAD. The Wife of President Harrison’s Private Secretary a. Victim of Consumption. ‘IVASIIINGTON, April 16.—Mary Frances Halford, wife of E. IV. Halford, private secretary to President Harrison, died short- ly before 8 o’clock in the morning at her apartment at the Elsmere, in this city. Mrs. Halford has been an invalid for the past two years, suffering from a complica- tion of disorders, which finally culminated in consumption, which was the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Halford returned only ten days ago from southern Georgia, where she had been for several months in a vain search of health. Last Saturday it was noticed that she was gradually becoming Weaker. She did not respond to treatment Sunday, and thenceforth she sank until Tuesday night, when her condition became alarm- ing, and continued to grow worse until the end came peacefully. Her husband and their only child—a daughter—Jean- nette, with some friends in the hotel, were with her in the last hours. Mrs. Halford will be buried in Indian- apolis on Friday. Services over her re— mains will be held also at the Foundry M. E. church, Rev. Dr. Elliot officiating, after which the remains will be placed on the 3:30 p. m. train and conveyed to In- dianapolis. Mr. Halford, his daughter and a few personal friends will constitute the funeral party. The president was informed by telegraph of Mrs. Halford’s death. I’arnell‘s Brother Interviewed. ATLANTA, April 16.——John H. Parnell, brother of Charles Stewart Parnell, who conducts an extensive fruit farm near \Vest Point, has been summoned to Ire- land. It is said by those in his confidence that he is among the number slated by his brother to stand for parliament. In an in- terview Mr. Parnell, speaking of the fight between the factions in Ireland, said: “How the fight will terminate no one can tell. It is a. battle between giants, and while factions are fighting in Ireland Eng— land is fighting home rule. I believe, though, that home rule will come from this contest, and if my brother is permitted to lead the fight he will yet achieve for Ireland that which he has fought for so long. I have written asking him to come to the United States and deliver speeches in our large cities, but the contingency of a. general election is so likely that he is preparing to meet it.” He Says the Story Is False. NEW YORK, April 16.——-The cashier of the Manhattan bank says that the dispatch from Chicago, announcing that there is a balance of $5,000,000 in that institution be- longing to the heirs of Isaac Phillips, who was born in eastern Massachusetts on May 2, 1766, is a fairy story. “We have never been served,” said the cashier, “with an attachment by the legal representatives of Mrs. Sidney Hendricks, of Chicago, who is said to be one of the probable heirs for the probable reason that there is no money here belonging to her to attach. It may be a good story for Chicago newspapers, but it has no interest for me.” tufl‘aldiiiIl—mtwerp.

A Glimpse from Old Lookout Recalls War Days to Mr. Harrison—The City Gayly Decorated—Children and the Military—At Other Places. CHATTANOOGA, April 16.4The presiden- tial party arrived in Chattanooga at 8:30 o’clock in the morning, after a run of four hours and a half from Knoxville. At Sherman Heights 8. local committee, headed by ex-Congressman H. Clay Evans and Mayor Merriam, of Chattanooga, boarded the train. With them was Mr. Carter Harrison, the president’s brother, who lives at Murfreesboro, Tenn. As the train neared Chattanooga. it became ap- parent that great preparati'ons were being made for the reception of the distinguished guest and his fellow travelers. “’armly Welcomed. Steam whistles in the outskirts of the city blew an ear:splitting welcome, while the employes of all the manufacturing es- tablishments 011 the. railroad shouted and _ waved their hats as the train went by. At the depot in Chattanooga represen- tatives of the chamber of commerce and public officials met the president and es- cortedihim and his party in,carriages to the foot of Lookout mountain, where cars were taken for the summit. At the Look- out inn the president pointed out to Mrs. Harrison the spot where he was encamped at during the war. , From the mountain the party was driven about the city, which was profusely deco— rated with bunting. The streets were crowded with enthusiastic citizens, and all the school children in the city stood in front of their respective schools and waved flags and shouted as the presidential party drove by. The military companies of the city also paraded. A Brief Address. The drive ended at a temporary plat form, about which an immense assem- blage was packed. Here the president was introduced to the crowd by ex-Congress— man Evans in a brief speech. The presi- dent made a. short address, at many points of which he was enthusiastically cheered. After the president, amid great enthusi- asm, had concluded his speech, Postmas- ter General Wanamaker and Secretary Rusk made short addresses. Ofl' Again. When they had finished the president held a short reception, and men, women and children, paying little heed to the cor- don of police and militia, crowded forward to get a chance to grasp the president’s hand. The party then proceeded to the depot, where the president held another reception from the rear platform of the observation car. As the train drew out of the depot the assembled crowd burst into wild en- thusiasm which the president acknowl- edged by bowing and smiling until the crowd was left behind. The Night at Knoxville. The night had been passed at Knoxville, where the enthusiasm was quite as warm. The residents of the city turned out in great crowds in the evening to do honor to the president and his cabinet officers. A military salute was fired at 6 o’clock by the cadets of the University of Tennessee, announcing the arrival of the party, The people were very enthusiastic and cheered the president heartily. A public reception was held at the Hattoe House, and Colonel W. A Henderson delivered an address of welcome, to which the presi- dent responded. A Flower Carnival. at San Antonio. SAN ANTONIO, Tenn, April 16.—The pres- ident will be entertained here on Monday by a flower carnival. It will be similar to those annually celebrated at Cannes and Nice. An organization has been formed here to celebrate San J acinto day, April 21, but the first one will be advanced a day in honor of President Harrison. Every ve- hicle in the city will be adorned with roses, and a flower parade will precede the con- test. The contest will take place on Alamo Plaza, in sight Of the Alamo. To Be Launched in His Presence. SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.—The United‘ States coast defense vessel Monterey, now in the course of construction at the Union Iron works, will be launched April 28 in the presence of President Har- l‘lSOD. Secretary Foster in New York. NEW YORK, April 16.—Secretary Foster visited the Office of Calvin S. Brice at noon. His visit was in connection with some pri- vate business. In conversation .with a United Press reporter Mr. Foster said that he had no intention of making any changes in the custom house. Until the special treasury commission made its report noth— ing would be done. The secretary said he would probably visit the barge office and also Ellis Island for the purpose of seeing the manner in which the immigrants are handled. He intended to make a careful study of the immigration laws, and see What could be done in the matter of keep- ing out undesirable persons. With regard to the discontinuance of the consular seals on Canadian railroads, Mr. Foster said the order discontinuing the use of the seals would be issued before long. Florida Democratic Caucus. TALLAHASSEE, April 16.—The two-third rule was adopted by the Democratic cau- cus. The first vote for United States sen— ator resulted as follows: Call, 60; Bloxham, 37. This gave Call less than the necessary two‘thirds. On the second ballot Call’s vote fell off 1, while Bloxham gained 1. The deserter from Call was Senator Bris- tol, but the Call followers say that he will return to the fold. A Republican Reunion in Boston. BOSTON, April 16.—The twenty-sixth anniversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln is being commemorated by the veteran republicans by a reunion in Tre- mont Temple, the occasion being also the :hirty-seventh anniversary of the forma- 310D. and naming of the Republican party.
