PARCEL POST BOOMING.
Success of New Service Far Exceeding
All Expectations.
Washington, Jan. 8. The bureau of
engraving and printing Saturday in
creased its daily output of parcel post
stamps from 5,000 to 10,000.
Reports received from all over the
United States indicate a tremendous
parcel post business, but no serious con
gestion. The success of the new service
lias exceeded all expectations.
Washington, Jan. 0. The official
world here has rounded out its half-week
of dull .inaction, following the new
year. The House deliberated Saturday
on the Indian appropriation bill, with
only a handful of representatives pres
ent. The Senate proceeded with the im
peachment trial of Judge Arehbald. At
times less than a half-dozen senators
(jurors) were in attendance, but there
was a tense interest against the moment
when Judge Arehbald should himself ap
pear on the witness stand. The trial was
brought almost up to the point, which
will mean a flocking of senators and of
spectators out of a hundred offices iu
that vicinity, .
Democrats are slow about showing
their hands. Matters of policy and of
procedure are at issue, especially in the
Senate, but leaders there prefer to keep
Republicans and the administration j
guessing. For instance, the burning
question of confirmations, which the
country may already tire of hearing
about, is pretty well decided in Demo
cratic minds, but there is not the slight
est haste about promulgating their ul
timatum. The Democrats, with an ex
cess of good humor about it, are willing
that the president and Republican sen
ators should stew over the situation a
while longer.
Communications from department of-,
flciuls are flying eongressward. The
heads of bureaus and others all made
their estimates of money needed on the
appropriation bills, but the season of
supplemental estimates, to which the
public pays small attention, is not at
hand. Secretary MacVeagh of the treas
ury is forwarding these every day, and
officials are following speedily to the ap
propriation committees with personal
appeals for the sums wanted. There is
a conviction that deficiencies will bo
handled roughly by the next Congress, !
Democratic in both branches, and that it :
is well to obtain evry possible cent j
while there is a genrous Republican or
ganization in the Senate.
Interest in President-elect Wilson's
cabinet is at a high pitch in Washing
ton. The status, however, is exceptional
in that aparently no Democrat here has
definite ideas as to any one man cer
tain to be called. Old politicians aYe
marvelling at Mr. Wilson' astuteness in
keeping Ins thoughts on cabinet to him
self. Occasionally little driblets of au
thoritative information are brought here
from Trenton, but they are insufficient
to feed the Democratic desiro for gossip.
It is taken for granted, however, that
Hryan will be in the cabinet, if Wilson
can persuado him to accept. There is
also confirmation of reports that Senator
Ohcdiah Gardner, the Main granger, is
under serious consideration for secretary
of agriculture. . This makes Massachus
etts Democrats here uneasy, because
they think the Xew KngUind position in
tiie cabinet should go to their state.
Maine Democrats in Congress are won
dering about it, because they have not
been consulted. They would like to
know whether the election has abso
lutely been decided upon or whether tho
president-elect has allowed this intima
tion to reach the public that he may as
certain how it would bo received.
Comment here was spirited Saturday
over a fresh rumor regarding Secretary '
Meyer and the Massachusetts senator-
ship. There comes from high authority
a statement about a Massachusetts Dem
ocrat, who claims to know that the sec
retary is to have the support of Mr.
Hearst's newspapers, because, forsooth,
the secretary is for a large navy. Pay
state Republicans here aroi. declaring
privately that if Secretary Meyer is to
be a candidate he should come rfght out
into the open. It is very apparent that
the secretary does not take that view
of things.
Attorneys for the United shoo niacihn
pry company tiled their brief in answer
to the government Saturday before the
supreme court. This is in tho writ of
error , proceedings from the district
court in Massachusets. Presumably tho
argument will be rcaclx'd about the mid
dle of January. Lawyers say that tho
company's brief appears to be strong.

Glenn Warner is of the opinion that
baseball as a sport at the Cai'linle school
tends to develop students into bums,
rather than into ideal men. In drawing
hia conclusion, Warner says that as long
as baseball is continued iu the college as
a principal sport, players will be in great
demand and the lucrative salaries otfered
to break into the ranks of professional
ism are tempting. At Carlisle, where the
students are of poorer means, the sport
has . been abolished and lacross substi
tuted for it. Tho Indians find more en
joyment out of tho new sport than they
did from baseball.
Hilly Queal, one of the best long-distance
. runners , in American athletics,
failed to win the 15-mile race at Powder
Hall, Scotland, this week. Dinning, a
Ixindon professional grinder, finished
slightly ahead of the American. Holmer
aiid Queal were to represent America in
this big race, but Holmer was unable to
compete owing to injuries received while
snowshoeing in Canada previous to sail

A blow has been dealt at the Dart
mouth college hockey team. ("apt. Ma
son, while practicing during the week,
received a cut from a skate on bis right
foot. This injury will compel the green
leader to keep out of the scrimmage for
some time.
Raymond Sherburne, the former God

college relay aquad.
It was announced during last week
that Fielder Jones, the old White Sox
manager and now in the lumber busi
ness at Portland, Ore., will act aa scout

season. Manager Joe Tinker will leave
next week to complete negotiations with
Jones. - '

greatest bcause Mike Sweeney's mark

The Reds still maintain the altitude
record for pitchers in the National
league. Succeeding McLean, the catcher
who has been transferred to the Cards,
is a pitcher by the name of Frost, who
stands 0 teet 5 inches high, frost is
taller than McLean by two and one-half
inches. Frost was with Toledo and Lan

has been unsuccessful in developing a
crew to meet Harvard in the past few
years, but hopes this spring to bring the
lost laurels back to New Haven.
The year 1912 has been unprecedent
ed in the annals of sports for the dis
placement of champions, a resume of
the season revealing that nearly all rec
ords in the art of canning champs were
shattered. In baseball, the Athletics
after two years of championship, were
humbled by the Red Sox. Hendrix dis
placed Marquard as leading pitcher in
the National league, Wood supplanting
Bender in the American league; Zim
merman topped Wagner for batting hon
ors in the old league; Ty Cobb did not
relinquish honors to any batter in his
league. In the ring, Kilbane upset At

son eliminated himself. C'oulon was the
only champ able t$ retain his laurels.
