Ottawa, Jan, 5.--The new issue of the Post-office Guide, to be pub: lished this month, will contain an amended regulation of the British Postmaster-General affecting pic- ture post cards. Picture post cards sent to places abroad are no longer debarred from bearing a communi- cation on the left hand half of the address side, and, so far as the the British Post office is concerned now pass at the post card rate. The concession has been accepted by Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Luxemburg, Mexi- co, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and Tunis. It is not, however, universally accept- ed, and no guarantees can at present be given that such cards will be al- lowed to pass at the post card rate in countries other than those men- tioned. Positive information has been received that cards of the kind described will be allowed to pass as post cards in Japan, Spain or the United Statas, Free Imports Kills Industry London, Jan. 7.--Some remark- able effects of {ree imports on th wages and loyment of workebs Fi tie silk Sk are given i volume of the Tariff Commission réport deoling with industry just published. "My own firm," says a Maccles- field manufacturer, "had four throw- ing mills at work 20 years ago, employing 1,700 hands. To-day we have closed the mills, broken up the machinery, and we do not em- ploy one hand." Within twenty miles of Notting: ham there were jo years ago 22 throwing mills, one firm alone em- ploying 1,700 hands. To-day there are only three mills, and not one: third of the machinery in these go- ing. In Derby and the locality 2,400 people used ta be employed there ; now there are only 200. In 1852 from 20,000 to 25,000 people were employed in silk man- ufacture within a radius of 15 miles of Manchester ; there is only one firm left now in that diftrict, and it employs from 200 tb 300 workers. one Manchester firm used to em- ploy 2,000 weavers, and now all these weavers have disappeared. The effect in the London branches of that industry is equally disastr- ous. There were more than 30,000 looms weaving »itk In Spitalfields in 1860; to-day there are not 200. 3 "The. same story is told of woven silks.

FFFICIENCY DEMANDED. The Montreal Gazette says: The tyrant's hand has been removed from the brow of the editors of the Liberal organs. With the retire- ment of Sir William Mulock from the Government the necessity dis- appeared for paying tribute to a obtained at the cost of the efficiency of the post- rvice. The Kiogston Whig, i been redfoved. The "Govern- ment of Canada is rich," it said editorially. "The Post Office Dc. partment glories in a surplus. And still the local post office is so crip- pled in its staff that the mails can- not be got out promptly these days and rumour has it that matter is in- clined to accumulate in and glut the building." The conditions in Kiagston are duplicated all over the Dominion. They are not new. In some cities, Montreal, for in- stance, they have existed for years Inadequate accommodation, insul- ficent help, poorly remunerated employees. All these and other causes went to make up a "surplus" which so long as Sir William Mu- lock directed the department, pre- sided over it as the lord of peguri- ousness, evoked the applause and commendation of the faithful. Now the farce is ended, and the party organs are telling Mr. Aylesworth what they dared not tell Sir W:l- liam that the country demands an efficient postal service and not a faked Sergius, Why Do Women Suffer ?
