Washington Nov. 11. The report of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster (lenoral
Itrlstow for tho year ended Juiiu no
was iiindo ptibllu to-day. Tho work
of thu division of appointments for tho
fiscal year has been much lighter than
thn preceding year. Tlie policy of
former administrations of removing
fourth-class postmaster for political
reasons regardless of length of service
resulted lu thu ehnnglngof postmasters
In all of thu Important fourth-class
ofllce early In those administrations.
Thu four-year term of tho grent ma-
jority of fourth-class postmasters
therefore expired early in tills admin-
istration which accounts for tho
greatly decreased number of appoint-
ment made during tho llsenl year n
compared with the preceding one.
Them were 1 1001 appointments mado
during tho year i:iM:l Indng of thu
fourth-class nnd 1081 being presiden-
tial. There were 80!M post olllces e-
tahllshed during tlie year. There wero
l.r.ur post olllces discontinued during
the year.
Tho extension of tho rural fruo de-
livery service throughout thu country
has resulted lu tho dlseoutliiuauco of
til post olllces tho salaries of tho post-
masters at said olllces aggregating 81-
710. Upon tho urgent request of tho
patron it number of these olllces bavo
been re-established nnd ninny inoro

On Juno !I0 nt tho end of the fiscal

fices. Thu nggrcgnto amount of tho
bonds of postmasters In force at the
close of tho llsc.il year wns SIXJ.OUO.OOO.
Tlio gross rcvenuesof thodepnrtment
for the year amounted to JU50J1:I8I.17.
Tho loss from Insufllclcnoy of bond
amounted to but SlO.&O.I.Ou a surpris-
ingly small nmotint of loss consider-
ing thu vast sum of money handled by
postmnsturs being only nbout 1-fiOth of
1 per cent. .Special attention is called
to tho decrease In tho nuinlH-r of post-
master reported by thn auditor of thu

for Informalities or delinquencies dur-
ing tho year. Number ol postmasters
reported bv tho auditor for Informali
ties or I'.clliiiiucncIcK lS'JH 8:11; 1SW
4'JS. Thl greatly Improved condition
Is tluu largely to tho strictness with
which this bureau has required post-
masters to comply with the postal law
nod regulations In thohiiiidllnguf pub-
lic funds nnd hImi to thu vigilance of
the Inspector force.
Of the total number of complaints of

Kansas City Times: The Texas steer
Is regarded as an enemy to his north-
ern brethren inasmuch as he carries
upon bis frame the seeds of dlaeate
which coming In contact with them
he communicate while he himself Is
lu a healthy condition. From January
1 to November I Texas cttttlo can be
shipped north of the cattle quarantine
Hue only for Immediate slaughter. In
previous years during November aad
December they were allowed to be
shipped north without any restrictions
whatever.
This year the regulations have been
changed so that even during Novem-
ber and December Texas c.itlle will
not be allowed to be shipped Into
MUsourl Kansas Arizona New Mexi-
co western Te.xus sud parts of Ten
tirssee and Oklahoma unless they have
been Inspected and found free of In-
fection. Tills safcL'uurd has been
found necessary mid was recom-
mended to the department of agri-
culture by the Interstate live stock
sanitary association which met re-
cently at Chicago. There Is no re-
striction upou Texas cuttlo which Die
owners uiuy wish to ship farther
north.
For the past ten years the depart
ment of agriculture has regulated the
movement of southern cattle but not
lu any of those years the ofllolals re-
port bus there been less sickness
among northern cattle owing to tho
Introduction of southern cattle thau
I his one. Practice makes perfect and
In this Instcnco experience has been
taken udvnutngo of nnd greater pre-
cautious have been used this year than
ust. '1 hi has been the means of sav-
ing thousands of dollars to northern
stock rntsersand farmers.
As tho regulations are nt present
whllo they protect those who are en-
titled to protection yet they work no
hardship to tho owners of southern
cuttle who realize the situation and
readily aciiulosco In what Is requited
of them.
