Postmaster Gen eral Wan amaker baa been rusticating here for a week at tbe United States Hotel. He has brought no work with him, and be spends his time sitting on tbe hotel plana gossiping and telling stories to his friends. He says he finds Saratoga a better place than "Washington to feel tbe real pnlse of the American people, and tnat he likes to get away to find what public opinion in re gard to public matters really is. I asked him to-night the real story of the exclusion of Tolstoi's noTel, "The Krentxer Bonata," from the mails. Baid he: 'The action on tbe Kreutzer Sonata by our Etore had nothing to do with me and the book was passed upon there long before it came up as non-mailable matter. As to our orders for the books, tbe store is divided into departments and the head of each de partment attends to the business of that department. Our head of the book depart ment passes upon all orders of our book sales. We buy books in large quantities and an order from us often increases the amonnt ot the edition to be published. "We often receive offers of so many of a certain book at a reduced price if we will take them, within a certain number of days and this was the offer in regard to the 'Kreutzer Sonata.' For some reason or other the ofler was not accepted at the time it was made and when tbe order was sent it was after the limit for the reduced price had ex pired and it was not accepted. DBAWIXG THE LIKE. "We often order the books of noted authors without looking into them and the order for Tolstoi's books had been given without an examination of it In the mean time the boot department had heard sev eral criticisms of the story as immoral, and it was read with a view to seeing whether it was what we wanted to sell over our counter. We have certain rules of selection in our book trade and we do not sell French novels of a low grade of morality, the stories of Ouida or other books of a similar moral tendency. "I don't mean to say that there are not beauties in many of these works. Some of the novels of Ouida abound in beautiful passages and beautiful thoughts and I have written out some ot them in my note books. But we class these books with those which we have long decided not to sell and books of this character would not be sold by us at any price. THE EEADEK BAH) KO. "Well, this book of Tolstoi's was reported by our reader as below our standard in this regard, and for that reason we would not sell it All this was decided before the ob jection was made to carrying it through the mall. This objection came from an outside party, whom I did not know. At the time it came I had not read the book and don't know that I had heard of it Every com plaint of this kind that comes to the Post office Department has to be passed upon, and if the books are of an immoral tendency the law provides that they must be ex cluded. "Tbe book and the matter was referred to the Attorney General of the department, Jndge Tyner. He read tbe book, decided that it was indecent, and it was consequent ly excluded. The John Wanamaker firm of Philadelphia had nothing to do with it" "How about yourself, Mr. Postmaster General, have you read it?" HE HAS BEAD IT. "I have," replied Postmaster General Wanamaker. "And what do you think of it ?" "I do not think it is a fit book for young girls or young men to read, and it is not a book that I would like to take home to my family. I admire Tolstoi's writing with tbe exception of this one. He is a man of man v noble thoughts and I have quoted him in some of my addresses again and again. As to his present novel, however, it is of a dif ferent character and there are some parts of it that are ccrtainlv fit for no young Derson to read." The conversation hero turned to costoffice matter and I asked Mr. Wanamaker as to his postal telegraph scheme. Said he: "The postal telecraph is bound to come some time It may not come during ray administration of the department, but the peoplo have the right to have their infor mation forwarded in this way as well as by mail, and I expect to see tbe time when there will be a postal telephone. I believe that telegrams would be more sacred under the Government than they are in the hands ot private corporations, and tbey would have all tbe sanctity that the mails have to-day. POSTAL SAVETGS BANKS. "The postal Savings Bank will also be a thing of tbe future, and if we could have these they would be especially valuable in bringing tbe South closer to the general Government The United States in this way becomes the banker of the common people, and confidence and trust go with the man or institution to, whom you intrust your money." "Sreakiug again of 'the Kreutier Sonata' and the sending of these books through tbe mail it is much of a question as to vhether they ought to be admitted to tbe mails at alL We receive for tbe matter only 1 cent a pound, and it costs us 7 cents a Douud to carry them. If we would ex clude this wnole class of cheap book matter it would save tbe department $1,000,000 a year. They are only kept in the mails through a regulation of tbe department, and I suppose au order from me would exclude them. I have preferred, however, to state the matter to the people and to ask Con gress to pass upon it" "I here asked Mr. Wanamaker as to the statement which has gone tbe rounds of the newspapers that he was laying his wires to make himself the next Senator from Penn sylvania, and that be bad an ambition to be President of the United States. ONLY ONE AMBITION. He laughed as he emphatically said: "I have no ambition to be other than a good Postmaster General. It is not reasonable for me to suppose' that I can make myself great in tbe role of statesmanship. My whole training has' been thatoi a business man, and while I might perhaps hope to make myself a great merchant, I could hardly expect to succeed more than ordi narily well in an nntried field. I accepted the Postmaster Generalship with a desire to do what good I could for the country, and because I believe it the duty of very Amer- citizen to take part in such admimstra- tbe Government as comes to him. had for years been saying to my bow tbe Goverment ought to be fetanaced. nd what I would do if were in tower, and I could not very well refuse to ccept the place when it was offered to me. I assuredly did not take it for the 8,000 a ytiT, which the salary ot a Cabinet Minister Is. As I have undertaken it I am anxious to do all I can to improve tbe mail and to carry out the duties which I hare under taken. MOT LIKE THE STOBE. A?'I find it, howerer, fir diflereat from the management of a mercantile institu tion where tbe manager can carry out his plans without interference from others. There are so many people to consult, so many wheels within wheels, and so many warring private interests, tbat it is almost impossible for trie public to be served as it should be. Still I think we are making progress. We have enormously increased tbe extent of the Star Route mail, and tbat at a reduction of expense. We have ex tended the special delivery system, and I have gotten an appropriation of $10,000 into tbe general deficiency bill by which I hope to make some further experiments in this matter. I hope to see tbe time when every farmer will have his mail dropped at his door and every village will have its special delivery. "Ten thousand dollars seems a small amonnt to experiment with, but I proba bly should have got nothing if I had asked lor more. My idea is to take some Tillage of, say, BOO people, and to give the postmaster $100 a year if he will have one of his clerks make one delivery throughout the town each day. I have no doubt that this can be done for that amount, and I want to try it MAIL AT SCHOOL. "Another idea of mine is to make tbe country school teachers mail- agents; I will have the postmasters of these school dis tricts send tbe mail for the families repre sented in the school to these tchool teach ers, and will pay them something to give out the letters and papers once a day to tbe scholars to carry them home to their fami lies. It seems to me that the postal facili ties of tbe country might be very much in creased in this way." During tbe conversation the Postmaster General referred to the action of New York in not seconding the department in giving increased postal facilities for that city. Said he: "There is no place in the country where we need better postal facilities than we do in New York. There is no place where the postoffice has so large an influ ence upon the whole country as it has in New York, and it is strange to me that the New York newspapers and the New York ers when they have a Postmaster General who is in favor of giving them good mail ing facilities and a Secretary of the Treas ury who is largely in sympathy with their city do not take advantage of the occasion and push matters toward tbat end. SOME VEBY BAD WOBK. "There is no place in the United States where the mail is so poorly handled as in New York, and this is necessitated by tbe crowded postoffice and the lack of machinery and room necessary to getting out tbe mail. I have been in the New York Postoffice at II o'clock in the morning, and have seen tbe papers that have come in at that time, lying on top of cords of journals which came in during the night or early in the morning. The last papers were being mailed and the 10 o'clock papers on the top of the pile were sent away be ore those which had come in earlier. "New York eught to have a great postoffice built to accommodate tbe needs of the serv ice with all the modern appliances for hurry ing the mails through in the shortest pos sible time. This would mean olten a saving of thousands to many men and its import ance cannot be overestimated. The depart ment would do this not with a view to cut ting down expenses and to making a record of economy for the administration. I might do that if I chose at the expense of the serv ice, but I believe that this country is big enough to have the best mailing facilities in the world and I think its people are willing to pay for them."

Back Again la New York After an Event" fnl Ocean Voyasje In tbe Steerng-e of an Inman Une Steamer Seances and Ke Ilglona Service! on the Steamer. New Yobk, August 23. The passengers on board the Inman steamer City of Berlin, which, arrived from Liverpool yesterday morning, had one incident at least more than is usually counted on to beguile the hours of the voyage. This, too, was exclu sive of the four icebergs seen in one day. The incident consisted in the presence on board of Madam Diss Debar, of "spook" picture fame. On Sunday morning Captain Land told some of the passengers on deck that there was a nun in tbe steerage; a nun, too, who hadapparcntly seen betterdays, for when she went to Europe a short time ago she sailed on the City of New York, occupying $500 apartments. Her name was Sister'lcnatins, and she had just witten a note to the cap tain, reminding him tbat there were many Unman Catholics in the steerage,and asking that a Roman Catholic service might be held there. Tne captain readily gave hisi JGiU119aiuu, UUklUI OVU.O 1CMVU tU-BCEVlCU was not held. But the nsnal service of the Church of England was held in the saloon and Sister Ignatius attended it, and it was then that a lady among the saloon passengers recognized her as Madam Diss Debar. This lady had good cause to remember the medium, as she once paid her $50 lor two "spook" pic tures of dead friend' and lost the little con fidence that she bad in the medium when she received a communication from one of the triends asking for funds. When it was reported on deck who Sister Ignatius really was, there was yet more in terest in the $500 anartments on the New York and the steerage passageon the Berlin, and it was rumored among the passengers that she had been in Rome, and that her plans there, whatever they were, had not succeeded so well as she had hoped tbey might Captain Land, who has an aversion to people sailing nnder false colors, at once wrote on the passenger list of the steamer: "Mme. Diss Debar, we know you." He then drew a line under tbe name of tbe lady who had recognized the medinm, put the list in an envelope, Addressed it to "Sister Ignatius," and sent it to the steerage by a steward. The steward .was not heard from again in.a long time, and when be was he had no better story to tell than the needy knife-grinder in the poem. For the rest of the voyage tnere were frequent inquiries about Sister Ignatius, but not a word could be heard from her. When the shiD reached quarantine yes terday morning Sister Ignatius objected to passing in review before tbe health Officer with tne other steerage passengers, but she was soon brought to see the futility of re sistance, and she submitted. But the best of tbe whole story is tbat the agents of the Inman Line in Liverpool were inspired with such confidence in this traveler 61 varying means that they wrote a note to Captain Land before he sailed asking him to see tbat Sister Ignatius should be made exception ally comfortable.

English Taxpayers Grumbling at the Ex pense of the Uavy. FAILUEE OP THE CK0PS IN IRELAND. IBT CABLE TO TBX EISPATCn.1 London, August 23. Copyright The financial situation in Borne is growing daily more serious, and a sensational development is predicted In the collapse of the fortune of Prince Schirra, a great Boman noble. Schirra, during the building movement in Borne, moitgaged his estate, which is valued at 20,000.000 francs, for 5,000,000 francs, and, since the financial crisis, finds it im possible to redeem his property. The bankers who hold the mortgages at 7 per cent, are pressing him for payment, so that unless he obtains assistance soon the crash of one of the oldest Boman families must ensue. This catastrophe will be of more than local interest, since it will probably involve the breaking up of the well-known Schirra gallery of paintings, which contains the famous violin maker of Baphael. An incident of this possible calamity is a difficulty that has arisen between Premier Crisipi and the leading Italian journal, the Tribuna, in which Schirra is a large owner. STIBBINO UP A SCANDAL. It is alleged in Ministerial circles that Crispihas a letter from the editor of the Tribune making a proposal for an alliance tbat the Premier declined. Crispi has threatened tbe Trtiune with the publica tion of the letter, and that journal, as a mat ter of retaliation, sent agents to Palermo, where the present Madame Crispi formerly resided, to look up her antecedents. These agents profess to have discovered that tbe lady, who was a widow when she married Crispi, had lived with him before the death ot her husband, and the Tribune promises to make things unpleasant for the Premier and his wife unless the compromising letter of its editor is returned. The present Mrs. Crispi is the third wife oi that gentleman, and he was obliged to make threats to enforce her reception at court, particularly as Boman society is not positive whether death or law divorced bim lrom the other two. Apropos to this cir cumstance It is related that when Crispi called the recent travels of the Prince of Nanles "a vovage in search of a wife, the Queen placidly remarked that the Prince at least was not searching ror tnree. CBISPI OUT Or FATOB. Crispi, in consequence, is not in favor with tbe (Jueen, and tne Jttoman people are indignant because he has appointed a royal commissioner to conduct their municipal affairs, and dismissed the town council of Borne by reason ot a pitcnea Dame in tnat body brought about and largely participated In by the Dnke of Sermoneta, one of the richest and possibly ablest noblemen in Italy, who is well-known throughout Europe as tbe former President of the Ital ian Geographical Soeiety. The present conditions in Borne have been brought about by the great extravagance of the administration ot vast dudiio worts that have brought so many thousands of laborers to the Uity UovernmenL At pres ent it has not money enough to continue these works, and unless some plan is devised to meet the situation a great financial crash must soon result HOT LIKE OTHEE OLD MEK. Gladstone Makes a Speech In a Heavy Downpour of Halo. :ey cable to the rjisFATcn.i London. August 23. If Mr. Gladstone were the ordinary old gentleman, he ought at this moment to be tucked in bed with hot water bottles at his feet and a mustard plaster on his chest That he differs from the average man of 80 odd years is proved by the fact tbat to-day he is in the best of health, notwithstanding the fact that on Thursday, which was an unseasonably chilly day, he stood for 45 minutes In a pouring rain, speaking words of wisdom to a small audience of enthusiastic agricultur ists. The occasion was the annual flower, fruit and vegetable show at Ha ward en. The Grand Old Man had promised to make a speech in the open air in front of his castle, but the weather was so atrocious that it was generally supposed that he would not keep his engagement Mr. Gladstone, bow ever, is accustomed to keep his engagements, and he would no doubt have delivered the oration bad tbe audience consisted solely of reporters. Mrs. Gladstone as usnal was on band, but her attempts to insinuate a mackintosh on to the grand old shoulders were fruitless, and the orator was wet through before he had recognized the reason ableness of her suggestion to put np his 'Umbrella. Ere long the weaker of the au dience took reiuge under convenient trees and Mr. Gladstone for the first time realized tbe situation and considerately, but some what abruptly, closed hi speech. He went indoors and changed his drenched clothes. An hour after, when the weather had cleared, up he started out to select a tree which he felled to-day. HUSH CHOPS BuTHED. Farmers Flowing; Up the Potato Field and Planting Cabbages. IBT CABLE TO THK DIgPATCH.l London, August 23. The correspondent of the Pall Mall Oazetta telegraphs to tbat journal to-day from Midleton, in county Cork, that the farmers in that district, fol lowing the advice recently given by Michrel Davitt, are now plowing up the ground oc cupied by potatoes and are preparing the land for crops, such as cabbage, in order to provide some kind of food for the coming winter in place of the ruined potato crop. The potato crop is so badly diseased that tbey are not even food for pigs. The Daily News says tbat reports from all Darts of Ireland leave hardly any donbt that the conntrv is in a measurable distance of famine, not only in the south and west, but in tbe eastern and most fertile parts of Ul ster counties, Armagh and Down.

Much dissatisfac tion exists among English merchants and manufacturers who export goods to America ou consignment on account of the provisions of the new customs administration bill, which went into effect August 1, and which compels them to make a sworn declaration to the original cost of the goods and all the ex penses of manufacture. This declaration, if truthfully made, discloses to business rivals the original cost of goods, where obtained, prices charged and profits made. Since the bill went into effect' last week a number of shippers have positively refused to make such a declaration, andare devising various schemes to evade tne law.

BRITISH TAXPAYERS GRUMBLING ATTHE ENORMOUS EXPENSE. Tbe Nnvnl RIoneUYBrs Rather Discouraging The Vessels Cannot Curry Enough Coal to Hake Them Effective A Number of Large Ironclads Oat of Date. rUT CABLE TO THE DISPATCn.1 London, August 23. The British naval maneuvers just concluded have cost about 200,000, and the taxpayers are complain ing that the show was v,ery dear at the price. Tbe operations were designed to elicit information as to the possibility of an enemy obtaining and maintaining for ten days control of trade routes, and thus cutting off England's food supplies. The enemy has won all along the line, and pessimists have promptly prophesied tbe downfall of Britain in the first war in which she may be engaged with a first-class power. But the prophecy is scarcely justified by the facts of the case. The enemy's fleet was able to steam to the furthest limits assigned by tbe rules of the game, but to do so an average of 100 tons beyond the proper coal capacity of each ship was taken aboard, room being found for the extra fuel in the batteries, with the result that the big war ships would have been unable to use their most powerful guns in event of their meeting with their oppo nents. The commander of the so-called British fleet, conforming to ordinary pru dent rules, was content to fill up his bunk ers and to keep his guns ready for action. His ironclads and cruisers would have de molished the enemy's vessels could they have come up with them, but they were unable to steam far enough, and a humorous result wss that the main squadrons never got with 50 miles of eaeh other, while tbe hostile war ships preyed unrestrained upon British com merce. For the rest, the torpedoes have been lost, gunboats have collided with each other, and the machinery in the larger ves sels has developed eccentricities which in actual warfare would have cost hundreds of lives. A number of vessels will have to be placed in the dock for repairs, and by the time a complete bill has been settled the total cost of the maneuvers will probably have reached 500,000. To add to the dis gust of Britannia, who rules the waves, the Admiral of the fleet, Sir Thomas Svmonds, has inopportunely discovered that 42 of her 77 larger ironclads and 10 transports are either dangerous or useless owing to inade quate bulkhead arrangements or obsolete machinery and armaments.

Mrs. Henry Hunziker. lhe aches and pains she had in almost every part of her body were simply unbearable.

Reading in the papers how Mrs. Bratt had been cured of terrible cramps and pains by the catarrh specialists at 323 Fenn avenue I took a course of treatment and now I gladly testify to my complete cure of all my aches and pains as above described. I cheerfully recommend these specialists to all snfleiing from catarrh or stomach trouble. Signed with my own band. -MRS. HENRY HUNZIKER."

OUR LATEST For the Fall Season, The reception that was accord ed our new Fall Derby makes its success an assured fact. We sold over 300 of them yester day, and every one of these Hats now adorn the cranium of some highly-pleased patron. Big profits are the order of the day at the start of the sea son with us, however,this rule is a mere myth. We actually start the season with lower prices than other hatters will name at the very end. Thus, for instance, while we-sell our new Fall Derby, according to qualities, for $1 50, $190, $2 25, $2 50, $3 and $3 25, Other hatters will place the same Identical quality and shape on sale at from 15 to 30 per cent more money. ,1 ,&m .JLfcLr.
