The total postnl revenues for the ycal from nil sources were $1 ll.lkil.r.l.'l, be ing $.','.123, 727 less than the expenditures This is exclusive of the cost of trans porting the mails over the subsidizee I'ucilic railroads that have not yet set tled their bonded accounts with tilt government. The total value of stamped paper nnd stump books issued during the year was J10l,7V,!l.S7. The isstu of postage stumps books is regarded at a successful experiment. The ,(i;S,42. Kt 11 111 i books issued ban cost the department $1.0!) per thousand to niiinufiicttire. There were tiV.l.Ol l,8(K. postal cards issued. The amount ol second class matter mailed free of post age to actual subscribers within till country of publication constitutes tunc tically 7 per cent of the entire amount mailed. Mr. .Maddcu says it is but a question of time if the rate of increase of second class mutter continues before it wil consume most if not nil of the revenue derived from other classes uf mail unit tcr. While second class mutter, com bined with its necessary equipment, con- stitutos approximately two-thirds of the combined weight of nil the four classoi of mail matter, it furnishes only slightly over 4 per cent of the revenue from nil postages. About ft) per cent of this nominal nnd unsiistnining rate Mr. Mad den snys is due to a construction of the statutes which has permitted the admis sion of a great number of alleged news- pnpers and periodicals which are mere ly pretensions. The 11rim-ii1.1l abuses ot the pound rnte named by the report arc sample copies, hulk subscriptions, book serials, return copies to news agents nud premiums to sithscrilM-rs, the latter being ennrnctenzed ns the king of abuses. The hope is expressed that the next annual report will show the second class of mail practically free from nt least the larger abuses. This reformation the report snys may make one cent postuge practicable at no distant date. FULTON IS A SUCCESS. Submarine Host t'mler Water Over IS lours With No lUneomrort to Crew. XEW YORK.

XEW YOItK, Nov. 25.-The violent s'orui which swept the Jersey shore and this vicinity Saturday night and Sunday has left in its wake a scene of desola tion and immense dumuge. The storm was tlie most violent in years. All the potts along the const report dnmnge to buildings, piers and small craft, while the high tide and heavy swells that ac companied the storm flooded streets and cellars nnd enrried nwny buildings, pa villous, trees, bridges nnd other struct ures. Only one life is reported lost. The ftiilrigged ship l-'lottbek went Hshore at Monmouth beach during the big gale and is now resting on the sands apparently little the worse for her experience and her crew were res cued by the lifesuvers of Stutiou No, 4. The tug Kobett lladdou is a wreck but her crew was suved. One man, nil Kiiu.vii, proiiniuy a resilient or Long Itrnnch, was swept nway when the big iron pier at that place wns for the most part wrecked by the terrilic waves. Much property damage resulted from the storm all along that portion uf the Jer sey const. I (riven by the terrific northeast gnle, the highest tide ever known along the north shore of Long Island swept in land, h-nving n ribbon of wrcckuge that girta the short front from Astoria iu Long Island City out to Greenport, on the extreme end of the island. Thousands of dollars of dumuge wns done. I dicks, boats and buttling houses were wrecked and fleets of yachts which hnd been drawn up in supposedly safu winter quarters were floated oft by the high tide nud left stranded in many in stances more tliaii half u mile inland. Washouts occurred 011 two branches of the railroad and trolley roads. Probably the greatest damage wns done nt Xorth Itcnch. ou Hushing and Itowery bays, where more than $20,000 worth of docks, paved walks, pavilions, places of amusement nud other property was destroyed. In the cove off North Bench, where the Williamsburg Yacht club has its headquarters the fleet of small hunts wns swamped or curried inshore. In their excitement the occi.punts of the club house neglected to retain boats for their own use. The lundings connecting the clubhouse with the mainland floated away, cutting thctn off from the shore. The lower floors of the clubhouses were nwush and the violence of the gale and sen thrcatt d to Hunt them off the piling of which they are built. They were rescued later in the day. The entire fleet of the Williamsburg Y'acht club was Hunted oft by the tide nnd wricked. In Flushing bay docks Were dainngcil, boats buttered to pieces nnd 1 he Flushing meadows entirely sub merged. The same state of affairs ob tained at .Iiiniiiicn bay, Koslyn and other points. The storm struck Asbury Park, N. J., with more force tlmn any iu recent vears. The wind during Saturday night ut- tnincit 11 velocity of 70 miles nil hour and did much damage to cottages.
