Si elle ne parvient pas au bureau de destination, celui-ci dresse d’office un nouvel avis de réception. Les avis de réception doivent être formulés en français ou porter une traduction sublinéaire en cette langue. 1665 3.— Le bureau de destination, après avoir dûment rempli la formule B, la renvoie sous enveloppe et avec recommandation d’office au bureau d’origine. 4.— Lorsque l’expéditeur demande un avis de réception d’un objet recommandé postérieuremeut au dépôt de cet objet, le bureau d’origine reproduit sur une formule B, préalablement revêtue d’un timbre-poste représentant la taxe d’avis deréception, la description très exacte de l’objet recommandé [nature de l’objet, bureau d’origine, date de dépôt, numéro, suscriptionl. Cette formule est transmise d’Administration à Administration avec l’indication de la dépêche dans laquelle l’objet recommandé à rechercher a été livré au service d’échange de l’Office correspondant. Le bureau de destination remplit la formule et la renvoie au bureau d’origine de la manière prescrite par le §. 3 précédent. 5.— Si un avis de réception régulièrement demandé par l’expéditeur au moment du dépôt, n’est pas parvenue dans les délais voulus au bureau d’origine, on procède, pour réclamer l’avis manquant conformément aux règles tracées au §. 4 précédent.

Sauf autre arrangement, la somme recouvrée, déduction faite du droit d’encaissement prévu il l’article 7, i. 2, de la Convention et de la taxe ordinaire des mandats de poste, est convertie en un mandat de poste portant en tète du recto la mention “Remb.” et établi pour le surplus en conformité du Règlement d’exécution de l’Arrangement concernant le service des mandats de poste. Il doit être fait mention, sur le coupon du mandat, du nom et de l’adresse du destinataire de l’envoi contre remboursement, ainsi que du lieu et de la date du dépôt de cet envoi. 5.—Forwarding of articles, etc. Sauf arrangement contraire, les envois grevés de remboursement peuvent être réexpédiés d’un des pays participant il ce service sur un autre de ces pays. En cas de réexpédition, l’envoi conserve intacte la demande de remboursement originale, telle que l’expéditeur Conversion of trade charge into currency at office of final destination.lui-même l’a formulée. L’Office de la destination définitive doit seul procéder à la conversion dans sa monnaie du montant du remboursement, d’après le taux en vigueur pour les mandats de poste, dans le cas oit il n’aurait pas le même système monétaire que celui dans lequel le remboursement est exprimé; il lui appartient aussi de transformer le remboursement en un mandat sur le pays d’origine.

Lorsque l’expéditeur utilise pour l’étranger une carte postale du service intérieur, on donne cours à cette carte pourvu qu’elle porte soit le titre, imprimé ou écrit, “Carte postale”, soit l’équivalent de ce titre dans la langue du pays d’origine. En outre, l’expéditeur a la faculté d’indiquer au recto son nom et son adresse, soit par écrit, soit au moyen d’un timbre, d’une griffe ou de tout autre procédé typographique. Des vignettes ou réclames peuvent être imprimées sur le recto. Toutefois, elles ne doivent nuire en rien à l’indication claire de l’adresse, ainsi qu’à l’apposition des timbres et notices du service postal. A l’exception des timbres d’affranchissement et des étiquettes mentionnées au premier alinéa et au paragraphe 4 du présent article, il est interdit de joindre ou d’attacher aux cartes postales des objets quelconques. 2.— Les cartes postales ne peuvent excéder les dimensions suivantes: longueur, 14 centimètres; largeur, 9 centimètres. 3.— Les cartes postales avec réponse payée doivent présenter, au recto, comme titre sur la première partie: „Carte postaleavec réponse payée“; sur la seconde partie: „Carte postaleréponse“.

Pour les relations importantes, il appartient aux Administrations intéressées de prescrire, d’un commun accord, des dispositions particulières, sons réserve, dansl’un comme dans l’autre cas, des mesures exceptionnelles à prendre par les chefs des bureaux d’échange, lorsqu’ils ont à assurer la transmission d’objets recommandés qui, par leur nature, leur forme ou leur volume, ne seraient pas susceptibles d’être insérés dans la dépêche. Toutefois, les bureaux d’échange expéditeurs indiquent en tête de la feuille d’avis, le cas échéant, le nombre des objets recommandés qui se trouvent dans la dépêche en 1677 dehors du paquet ou sac spécial, parmi les correspondances ordinaires, et font figurer sur les listes, dans la colonne „Observations“ mention „en dehors“ eu regard de l’inscription de chacun de ces objets. Ceux-ci sont autant que possible réunis en paquets ficelés munis d’une étiquette portant, en carac-tères apparents, les mots „Recommandés en dehors“ précédés d’un chiffre indiquant le nombre d’objets que contient chaque paquet.

Les dépêches doivent être livrées en bon état. Cependant, la réception d’une dépêche ne peut pas être refusé à cause de son mauvais état-S’il s’agit d’une dépêche pour un autre bureau que celui qui en a pris livr aison, elle doit être emballée de nouveau, tout en conservant, autant que possible, l’emballage original. Le remballage est précédé de la vérification du contenu, s’il est à présumer que celui-ci n’est pas resté intact. 2.—Corrections of errors. Lorsque le bureau d’échange reconnaît des erreurs ou des omissions, il opère immédiatement les rectifications nécessaires sur les feuilles ou listes, en ayant soin de biffer, d’un trait de plume, les indications erronées de manière A laisser reconnaître les inscriptions primitives. 3.——acceptance. Ces rectifications s’effectuent par le concours de deux agents. A moins d’une erreur évidente, elles prévalent sur la déclaration originale. 4.—Bulletin of verificaion. Un bulletin de vérification, conforme au modifie D annexé au *Post,* p. 1712.présent Règlement, est dressé par le bureau destinataire et envoyé sans délai, sous recommandation d’office, au bureau expéditeur. Lu même temps, un duplicata du bulletin de vérification est envoyé par le bureau destinataire il l’Administration dont relève le bureau expéditeur. Dans le cas prévu au paragraphe 1 du présent article, une copie du bulletin de vérification est insérée dans la dépêche remballée. 1679 5.— Le bureau expéditeur, après examen, renvoie le bulletin avec ses observations, s’il y a lieu. 6.— En cas de manque d’une dépêche, d’un objet recommandé, de la feuille d’avis ou de la liste spéciale, le fait est constaté immédia-tement dans la forme voulue par deux agents du bureau d’échange destinataire, et porté à la connais-sance du bureau d’échange expéditeur au moyen du bulletin de vérification. Si le cas le comporte, ce dernier bureau peut, eu outre, être avisé par télégramme aux frais de l’office expéditeur du télégramme. En même temps, un bulletin de vérification est envoyé par le bureau destinataire à l’Administration dont relève le bureau expéditeur. Dès la rentrée d’une dépêche dont l’absence avait été signalée au bureau d’origine ou à un bureau intermédiaire, il y a lieu d’adresser au même bureau un second bulletin de vérification annonçant la réception de cette dépêche. 7.— En cas de perte d’une dépêche close, les offices intermédiaires sont i’end us responsables des objets recommandés que renfermait la dépêche, dans les limites de l’article 8 de la Convention, à condi-tion que la non-réception de cette dépêche leur ait été signalée aus-sitôt que possible. 8.— Lorsque le bureau destinataire n’a pas fait parvenir au bureau expéditeur par le premier courrier après la vérification un bulletin constatant des erreurs ou des irrégularités quelconques, l’absence de ce document vaut comme accusé de réception de la dépêche et de son contenu, jusqu’à preuve du contraire.

(Pays)3.—Forwarding. Les dépêches à destination ou provenant de divisions navales ou de bâtiments de guerre sont acheminées, sauf indication d’une voie spéciale sur l’adresse, par les voies les plus rapides et dans les mêmes conditions que les dépêches échangées entre bureaux de poste. Quand les dépêches à destination d’une division navale ou d’un bâtiment de guerre sont expédiées en dehors, le capitaine du paquebot postal q ui les transporte, les tient à la dispositiondue commandant de la division ou du bâtiment destinataire pour le cas où celui-ci viendrait demander au paquebot en route la livraison de ces dépêches. 4.—Reforwarding. Si les bâtiments ne se trouvent pas au lieu de destination quand les dépêches à leur adresse y arrivent, ces dépêches sont conservées au bureau de poste, en attendant leur retrait par le des tinaire ou leur réexpédition sur un autre point. La réexpédition peut être demandée, soit par l’Office postal d’origine, soit par le commandant de la division navale ou du bâtiment destinataire, soit enfin par un Consul de même nationalité. 5.—In care of Consul. Celles des dépêches dont il s’agit qui portentlamention „Aux soins du Consul de . . . .“sont consignées au Consulat du pays d’origine. Elles peuvent être ultérieurement, à la demande du Consul, réintégrées dans le service postal et réexpédiées sur le lieu d’origine ou sur une autre destination. 6.—Delivery. Les dépêches à destination d’un bâtiment de guerre sont considérées comme étant en transit jusqu’à leur remise au commandant de ce bâtiment de guerre, alors même qu’elles auraient été primi- 1681 tivement adressées aux soins d’an bureau de poste au à un Consul chargé de servir d’agent de transport intermédiaire: elles ne sont donc pas considérées comme étant parvenues à leur adresse, tant qu’elles n’auront pas été délivrées au bâtiment de guerre respectif. XXV. *Correspondance# rcexpidiées.* 1.— En exécution de l’article 14 de la Convention, et sauf les exceptions prévues an paragraphe 2 suivant, les correspondances de toute nature adressées, dans l’Union, à des destinataires ayant changé de résidence, sont traitées par l’Office distributeur comme si elles avaient été adressées directement du lieu d’origine au lieu de la nouvelle destination. 2.— A l’égard des envois du service interne de l’un des pays de l’Union qui entrent, par suite de réexpédition, dans le service d’un autre pays de l’Un ion, soit des envois échangés entre deux pays de l’Union qui ont adopté dans leurs relations réciproques une taxe inferieure à la taxe ordinaire de l’Union, mais entrant, par suite de réexpédition, dans le service d’un troisième pays de l’Union vis-à-vis duquel la taxe est la taxe ordinaire de l’Union, soit, enfin, des envois échangés pour leur premier parcours entre localités de deux services limitrophes pour lesquels il existe une taxe réduite, mais réexpédiés sur d’autres localités de ces pays de l’Union ou sur un autre pays de l’Union, on observe les règles suivantes: 1º Les envois non affranchis ou insuffisamment affranchis pour leur premier parcours sont frappés, par l’Office distributeur, de la taxe applicable aux envois (le même nature directement adressés du point d’origine au lieu de la destination nouvelle. 2º Les envois régulièrement affranchis pour leur premier parcours, et dont le complément de taxe afférent an parcours ultérieur n’a pas été acquitté avant leur ré-expédition, sont frappés, suivant leur nature, par l’Office distributeur, d’uue taxe égale à la diffé- 1682 rence entre le prix d’affranchissement déjà acquitté et celni qui au-rait été perçu si les envois avaient été expédiés primitivement sur la nouvelle destination. Le montant de cette différence doit être exprimé en francs et centimes, à côté des timbres-poste, par l’Office réexpéditeur. Dans l’un et l’autre cas, les taxes prévues ci dessus restent exigibles du destinataire, alors même que, par suite de réexpéditions successives, les envois reviennent dans le pays d’origine. 3.—Cash prepayments. Lorsque des objets primitivement adressés à l’intérieur d’un pays de l’Union et affranchis en numéraire sont réexpédiés à un autre pays, l’Office réexpéditeur doit indiquer, sur l’objet, le montant de la taxe perçue en numéraire. 4.—Missent articles. Les objets de toute nature mal dirigés sont, sans aucun délai, réexpédiés par la voie la. plus prompte sur leur destination. 5.—Returned for correct address. Les correspon dan ces de tonte nature, ordinaires ou recommandées qui, portant une adresse incompélte ou erronnée, sont renvoyées aux expéditeurs pour qu’ils la complément ou la rectifient, ne sont pas, quand elles sont remises dans le service avec une suseriptien complétée ou rectifiée, considérées—postage. comme des correspondances réexpédiés, mais bien comme de nouveaux envois, et deviennent, par suite, passibles d’une nouvelle taxe. XXVI. *Correspondances Tombées en Rebut.*Undeliverable articles. 1.— Les correspondances de toute nature qui sont tombées en rebut, —return.pour quelque cause que ce soit, doivent être renvoyées, aussitôt après les délais de conservation voulus par les règlements du pays destinataire, et au plus tard dans un délai de six mois dans les relations avec les pays d’outre mer et de deux mois pour les autres relations, par l’intermédiaire des bureaux d’échange respectifs et en une liasse spéciale étiquetée: „Rebuts“ et portant l’indication du pays d’origine des correspondances. Les termes de deux mois et de six 1683 mois comptent, à partir de la fin du mois dans lequel les correspon-dances sont parvenues au bureau de destination. 2.— Toutefois, les correspondances recommandées tombées en rebut sont renvoyées au bureau d’échange d u pays d’origine comme s’il s’agissait de correspondances recommandées à destination de ce pays, sauf qu’eu regard de l’inscription nominative au tableau n° I de la feuille d’a vis ou sur la liste détachée, la mention „Rebuts“ est consignée dans la colonne „Observations“ par le bureau réexpéditeur. 3.— Par exception, deux Offices correspondants peuvent, d’un commun accord, adopter un autfemode de renvoi de rebuts, ainsi que se dispenser de se renvoyer réciproquement certains imprimés considérés comme dénués de valeur. 4.— Avant de renvoyer à l’Office d’origine les correspondances non distribuées pour un motif quelconque, l’Office destinataire doit indiquer d’une manière claire et concise, en langue française, au verso de ces objets, la cause de la non-remise sou s la forme suivante: inconnu, refusé, parti, non réclamé, décédé, etc. Cette indication est fournie par l’application d’un timbre ou l’apposition d’une étiquette. Chaque Office a la faculté d’ajouter la traduction, dans sa propre langue, de la cause de non-remise et les autres indications qui lui conviennent. 5.— Si des correspondances mises à la poste dans un pays de l’Union et adressées il l’intérieur de ce même pays ont pour expéditeurs des personnes habitant un autre pays et doivent, par suite de nondistributiou et de mise en rebut, être renvoyées à l’étranger pour être rendues à leurs auteurs, elles deviennent des envois de l’échange international. En pareil cas, l’Office réexpéditeur et l’Office distributeur font application auxdites correspondances des dispositions de §§ 2 et 3 de l’article XXV pré-cédent. 6.— Les correspondances pour les marins et autres personnes adressées aux soins d’nn Consul et rendues par celui ci au bureau de poste local comme non réclamées doivent être traitées de la manière 1684 prescrite par le § 1 pour les rebuts en général. Le montant des taxes perçues à la charge du Consul sur ces correspondances doit en même temps lui être rendu par le bureau de poste local. XXVII. *Réclamation d’Objets ordinaires non parvenus.*Missing ordinary articles. 1.——applications.

La transmission s’effectue d’office et sans aucun écrit. 3º Le bureau correspondant fait présenter la formule au destinataire ou à l’expéditeur, selon le cas, avec prière de fournir des renseignements à ce sujet. 4º Munie de ces renseignements, la formule est renvoyée d’office au bureau qui l’a dressée. 5º Dans le cas où la réclamation est reconnue fondée, elle est transmise à l’Administration centrale pour servir de base aux investigations ultérieures. 6º A moins d’entente contraire, la formule est rédigée en français, ou porte une traduction française. 2.—Special offices. Toute Administration peut exiger, par une notification adressée au Bureau international, que les réclamations qui concernent son service soient transmises à son Administration centrale, ou à un bureau spécialement désigné par elle. XXVIII. *Réclamation d’Objets Recommandés.*Applications for registered articles. 1.——form. Pour les réclamations d’objets recommandés, il est fait usage 1685 d’une formule conforme au modèle F annexe au présent Réglement. L’Office du pays d’origine, après avoir établi les dates de transmis-sion des envois en question au servicesuivant,transmetcette formule directement il l’Office de destination. 2.— Lorsque l’Office destinataire est eu état de fournir les renseignements sur le sort définitif de l’envoi réclamé, il renvoie cette formule, revêtue des renseignements que le cas comporte, à l’Office d’origine. 3.— Lorsque le sort d’uu envoi qui a passé à découvert par plusieurs services ne peut être immédiatement constató dans le service du pays de destination, l’Office destinataire transmet la formule au premier Office intermédiaire, qui, après avoir établi les données de transmission de l’objet au service suivant, transmet la réclamation à l’Office suivant et ainsi de suite, jusqu’à ce que le sort définitif de l’objet réclamé soit établi. L’Office qui a effectué la remise au destinataire, ou qui, le cas échéant, ne peut établir, ni la remise, ni la transmission régulière à une autre Administration, constate le fait sur la formule et la renvoie à l’Office d’origine. 4.— Les formules F sont rédigées en français ou portent une traduction sublinéaire en cette langue. Elles sont transmises sans lettre d’envoi sous enveloppe fermée, et soumises à la formalité île la recommandation. Chaque Administration est libre de demander, par une notification adressée au Bureau international, que les réclamations qui concernent son service soient transmises, soit à son Administration centrale, soit à un bureau spécialement désigné, soit enfin directement au bureau de destination ou, si elle est seulement intéressée à titre d’intermédiaire, au bureau d’échange auquel l’envoi a été expédié. 5.— Les dispositions qui précédent ne s’appliquent pas au cas de spoliation de dépêches, manque de dépêche, etc., qui comportent une correspondance plus étendue entre les Administrations. 1686 XXIX. *Retrait de Correspondance et Rectiftcation d’Adresses.*Withdrawing articles or correcting addresses. 1.— Pour les demandes de renvoi ou de réexpédition de correspondances, ainsi que pour les demandes de rectification d’adresses, l’expéditeur doit faire usage d’une *Post,* p. 1722.formule conforme au modèle G annexé au présent Règlement. En remettant cette réclamation au bureau de poste, l’expéditeur doit y justifier de son identité et produire, s’il y a lieu, le bulletin du dépôt. Après la justification, dont l’Administration du pays d’origine assume la responsabilité, il est procédé de la manière suivante: 1º Request by mail. Si la demande est destinée à être transmise par voie postale, la formule, accompagnée d’un facsimilé parfait de l’enveloppe ou suseription de l’envoi, est expédiée directement, sous pli recommandé, au bureau de poste destinataire: 2º —by telegraph. Si la demande doit être faite por voie télégraphique, la formule est déposée au service télégraphique chargé d’en transmettre les termes an bureau de poste destinataire. 2.— A la réception de la formule Gou du télégramme en tenant lieu, le bureau de poste destinataire recherche la correspondance signalée et donne à la demande la suite nécessaire. Toutefois, s’il s’agit d’un changement d’adresse demandé par voie télégraphique, le bureau destinataire se borne à retenir la lettre et attend, pour faire droit à la demande, l’arrivée du facsimilé nécessaire. Si la recherche est infructueuse, si l’objet a déjà été remis au destinataire ou si la demande par voie télégraphique n’est pas assez explicite pour permettre de reconnaître sûrement l’objet de correspondance indiqué, le fait est signalé immédiatement au bureau d’origine, qui en prévient le réclamant. 3.—Language A moins d’entente contraire, la formule G est rédigée en français ou porte une traduction subinéaire en cette langue, et, dans le cas d’emploi de la voie télégraphique, le télégramme est formulé en langue française. 1687 4.— Une simple correction d’adresse (sans modification du nom ou de la qualité du destinataire) peut aussi être demandée directement au bureau destinataire, c’est àdire sans l’accomplissement des formalités prescrites pour le changement d’adresse proprement dit. 5.— Toute Administration peut exiger, par une notification adressée au Bureau international, que l’échange des réclamations, en ce qui la concerne, soit effectué par l’entremise de son Administration centrale ou d’un bureau spécialement désigné. Dans le cas où l’échange des réclamations s’effectue par l’entre mise des Administrations cen traies, il doit être tenu compte des demandes expédiées directement par les bureaux d’origine aux bureaux de destination, dans ce sens que les correspondances y relatives sont exclues de la. dis tribution jusqu’à l’arrivée de la réclamation de l’Administration centrale. Les Administrations qui usent de la faculté prevue par le premier alinéa du présent paragraphe, prennent à leur charge les frais que peut entraîner la transmission, dans leur service intérieur, par voie postale ou télégraphique, des communications à échanger avec le bureau destinataire. Le recours à la voie télégraphique estobligatoire lorsque l’expéditeur a luimême fait usage de cette voie et que le bureau destinataire ne peut pas être prévenu en temps utile par la voie postale. XXX. *Emploi de Timbres-poste présumés Frauduleux.* *a)* Lorsque la présence, sur un envoi quelconque, d’un timbre-poste frauduleux (contrefait ou 1688 ayant déjà servi), est constatée an départ, par un Office dont la législation particulière n’exige pas la saisie immédiate de l’envoi, la figurine n’est altérée d’aucune façon, et l’envoi, inséré dans une enveloppe à l’adresse du bureau destinataire, est acheminé sous recommandation d’oflice. *b)* Cette formalité est notifiée, sans délai, aux Administrations des pays d’origine et de destination, au moyen d’un avis conforme *Post,* p. 1726.au modèle H annexé au présent Règlement. Un exemplaire de cet avis est, en outre, transmis au bureau de destination dans l’enveloppe qui renferme l’objet revêtu du timbre-poste réputé frauduleux. *c)* Le destinataire est convoqué pour constater la contravention. La remise de l’envoi n’a lieu que dans le cas où le destinataire ou son fondé de pouvoirs consent à faire connaître le nom et l’adresse de l’expéditeur, et à mettre à la disposition de la poste, après avoir pris connaissance du contenu, l’objet entier s’il est inséparable du coi’ps du délit ou bien la partie de l’objet (enveloppe, bande, portion de lettre, etc.) qui contient la sus- cription et le timbre signalé comme frauduleux. *d)* Le résultat de la convocation est constaté par un procèsverbal *Post,* p. 1728.conforme an modèle 1 annexé au présent Règlement et on il est fait mention des incidentssurvenus,tels que non comparution, refus de re-cevoir l’envoi, de l’ouvrir ou d’en faire connaître l’expéditeur, etc. Ce document est signé par l’agent des postes et par le destinataire de l’envoi ou son fondé de pouvoirs; si ce dernier refuse de signer, le refus est constaté aux lien et place de la signature. Le procès-verbal est transmis, avec pièces à l’appui et par l’intermédiaire de l’Administration du pays de destination, à l’Administration des postes du pays (l’origine, qui, à l’aide de ces documents, fait poursuivre, s’il y a lieu, la repression de l’infraction, d’après sa législation intérieure. 1689 XXXI. *Frais de Transit.* 1.— La statistique effectuée au mois de mai 1896 pour le décompte des irais de trausit sortira ses effets jusqu’à l’expiration de la Convention du là juin 1897 et du présent Règlement, sous réserve des dispositions prévues aux paragraphes 2 et 3 suivants. 2.— Dans le cas d’accession à l’Union d’un pays ayant des relations importantes, les pays de F Union dont la situation pourrait, par suite de cotte circonstance, se trouver modifiée sous le rapport du payement des frais de transit, ont la faculté de réclamer une statistique spéciale se rapportant exclusivement au pays nouvellement entré. 3.— Lorsqu’il se produit une modification importante dans le mouvement des correspondances et pour autant que cette modification affecte une période do six mois, au moins, les Offices intéressés s’entendent pour régler entre eux, au besoin par la voie d’une nouvelle statistique, le partage des frais de transit proportionnellement à la part d’intervention des-dits Offices dans le transport des correspondances auxquelles ces frais se rapportent. 4.— Le simple entrepôt, dans uu port, de dépêches closes apportées par uu paquebot et destinées à être reprises par un autre paquebot,ne donne pas lieu au paiement de frais de transit territorial au profit de l’Office des postes du lieu d’entrepôt. XXXII. *Décompte des Frais de Transit.* 1.— En vue de l’exécution des dispositions des chiffres 1º et 2º du § 5 de l’article 4 de la Convention, on procédera comme suit: *a.* Chaque Administration de l’Union transmet au Bureau international sur une formule ad hoc que ce dernier lui aura fait parvenir, un relevé des sommes à payer ou à recevoir, sur la base de la statistique de 1896, par chacune des Administrations correspon- 1690 dantes, du chef du transit territorial, à l’exclusion des trais de transit extraordinaires prévus au § 1 de l’article 4 de la Convention et sans tenir compte des réductions prévues au §5, chiffre 1º, du même article 4. *b. * Eu cas de différences entre les indications correspondantes de deux Administrations, le Bureau international les invite à se mettre d’accord et à lui communiquer les sommes définitivement fixées. *c. * Dans le cas oit l’une des Administrations correspondantes n’a pas fourni d’indication dans le delai déterminé par le Bureauinternational, les indications de l’autre Administration font foi. *d. * Aucune réclamation n’est admise de la part des Administrations qui n’ont pas fourni dans le délai déterminé par le Bureau international les indications prévues ci-dessus. *e. * Le Bureau international désigne, sur la base de la statistique de 1890, les pays à exonérer de tout payement du chef du transit territorial, jusqu’à l’expiration de la Convention de Washington et du présent Règlement, relève le total des sommes que ces pays auraient à payer et en opère la déduction proportionnel le sur le total des créances brutes des autres pays afférentes à ce transit. Il effectue en second lieu la réduction déterminés par le §5, chiffre 1º, de l’article 4 de la Convention et transmet le résultat définitif à tontes les Administrations, avec indication, pour chacune d’elles, du montant de sa dette ou de son avoir vis-à-vis de chacune des autres Administrations intéressées. 2.—Accounts of maritime transit expenses.*Ante,* pp. 1632, 1642. Le soin d’établir les comptes des frais de transit maritime, sur la buse des articles 4 et 17 de la Convention principale et avec les réductions prévues au chiffre 3° du §5 du premier de ces articles, incombe à l’Office créditeur, qui les transmet à l’Office débiteur. Celui-ci les renvoie, acceptés ou avec ses observations, dans le plus bref délai possible. Lorsqu’il ne les aura pas renvoyés dans le délai 1691 de six mois, les décomptes seront faits d’après les comptes établis par l’Office créditeur.

Eu tout cas, si l’Office qui a envoyé le compte n’a reçu dans cet intervalle aucune observation rectificative, ce compte est considéré comme admis de plein droit. Cette disposition s’applique également aux observations non contestées faites par un Office sur les comptes présentés par un autre Office. Passé ce délai de six mois, les sommes dues par un Office à un autre Office sont productives d’intérêts, à raison de 5 pourcent l’an et à dater du jour d’expiration dudit délai. 3.— Est réservée, toutefois, aux Offices intéressés la faculté de prendre d’un commun accord, d’autres dispositions que celles qui sont formulées dans le présent article. XXXIV. *Répartition des Frais du Bureau International.* 1.— Les frais communs du Burea u international ne doivent pas dépasser, par année, la somme de 125,000 francs, non compris les frais spéciaux auxquels donne lieu la réunion d’un Congrès on d’une Conférence. 2.— L’Administration des postes suisses surveille les dépenses du 1692 Bureau international, fait les avances nécessaires et établit le compte annuel, qui este communiqué à toutes les antres Administrations. 3.—Apportionment.

Les Administrations qui ont l’intention de réclamer, pour ce service de liquidation, le concours du Bureau international, se concertent, à cet effet, entre elles et avec ce Bureau. Special accounts.Malgré son adhésion, chaque Administration conserve le droit d’établir à son choix des décomptes spéciaux pour diverses branches du service et d’en opérer à sa convenance le règlement avec ses cor- 1697 respóndanla, sans employer l’in-termédiaire du Bureau international, auquel, à teneur de l’alinéa qui précède, elle se borne à indiquer pour quelles branches de service et pour quels pays elle réclame ses offices. Sur la demande des Administration intéressées, les décomptes télégraphiques peuvent aussi être indiqués au Bureau international pour entrer dans la compensation des soldes. Les Administrations qui auront emprunté l’intermédiaire du Bureau international pour la balance et la liquidation des décomptes peuvent cesser d’user de cet intermédiaire trois mois après qu’ils en auront averti ledit Bureau. 2.— Après que les comptes particuliers ont été débattus et arrêtés d’un commun accord, les Administrations débitrices transmettent aux Administrations créditrices, pour chaque nature d’opérations, une reconnaissance, établie en francs et centimes, du montant de la balance des deux comptes particuliers, avec l’indication de l’objet delà créance et de la période à laquelle elle se rapporte. Toutefois, en ce qui concerne l’échange des mandats, la reconnaissance doit être transmise par l’Office débiteur dès l’établissement de son propre compte particulier et la réception du compte particulier de l’Office correspondant, sans attendre qu’l ait été procédé il la vérification de détail. Les différences ultérieurement constatées sont reprises dans le premier compte à intervenir. Sauf entente contraire, l’Administration qui désirerait, pour sa comptabilité intérieure, avoir des comptes généraux, aurait à les établir ellemême et à les soumettre à l’acceptation de l’Administration correspondante. Les Administrations peuvent s’entendre pour pratiquer un autre système dans leurs relations. 3.— Chaque Administration adresse mensuellement, au Bureau international, un tableau indiquant son Avoir du chef des décomptes particuliers, ainsi que le total des sommes dont elle est créditrice en- 1698 vers chacune des Administrations contractantes; chaque créance figurant dans ce tableau doit être justifiée par une reconnaissance de l’Office débiteur. Ce tableau doit parvenir au Bureau international le 19 de chaque mois au plus tard, sous peine de n’être compris que dans la liquidation du mois suivant. 4.—Comparisons. Le Bureau international constate, en rapprochant les reconnaissances, si les tableaux sont exacts. Toute rectification nécessaire est notifiée aux Offices intéressés. Le Doit de chaque Administration envers une autre est reporté dans un tableau récapitulatif; afin d’établir le total dont chaque Administration est débitrice, il suffit d’additionner les diverses colonnes de ce tableau récapitulatif. 5.—General balance sheet. Le Bureau international ré-unit les tableaux et les récapitulations en une balance générale indiquant: *a*) le total du Doit et de l’Avoir de chaque Administration; *b*) le solde débiteur ou le solde créditeur de chaque Administration, représentant la différence entre le total du Doit et le total de l’Avoir; *c*) les sommes à payer par une partie des membres de l’Union à une Administration, ou réciproquement les sommes à payer par cette dernière à l’autre partie.

Ces acomptes sont inscrits, tant par l’Administration créditrice que par l’Administration débitrice, au bas des tableaux à adresser au Bureau international (voir § 3). 6.—Settlements. Les reconnaissances (voir § 3) transmises au Bureau interna- 1699 tional avec les tableaux sont classées par Administration. Elles servent de base pour l’établissement de la liquidation de chacune des Administrations intéressées. Dans cette liquidation doivent figurer: *a*) les sommes afférentes aux décomptes spéciaux portant sur les divers échanges; *b*) le total des sommes résultant de tous les décomptes spéciaux par rapport à chacune des Administrations intéressées; *c*) les totaux des sommes dues à toutes les Administrations créditrices pour chaque branche du service, ainsi que leur total général. Ce total doit être égal au total du Doit qui figure dans la récapitulation. Au bas de la liquidation, la balance est établie entre le total du Doit et le total de l’Avoir résultant des tableaux adressés par les Administrations au Bureau international (voir § 3). Le montant net du 1 )oit ou de l’Avoir doit être égal au solde débiteur ou au solde créditeur porté dans la balance générale. En outre, lu liquidation statue sur le mode de liquidation, c’est-à-dire qu’elle indique les Administrations en faveur desquelles le paiement doit être effectué par l’A dministration débitrice. Les liquidations doivent être transmises aux Administrations intéressées par le Bureau international, au plus tard le 22 de chaque mois. 7.— Le payement des sommes dues, en vertu d’une liquidation, par une Administration à une autre Administration, doit être effectué aussitôt que possible et au plus tard quinze jours après réception de la liquidation par l’Administra tion débitrice. Les soldes débiteurs ou créditeurs n’excédant pas 500 francs peuvent être reportés à la liquidation du mois suivant, à la condition toutefois que les Administrations intéressées soient en rapport mensuel avec le Bureau international. Il est fait mention de ce report dans les récapitulations et dans les liquidations pour les Administrations créditrices et débitrices. 1700 L’Administration débitrice fait parvenir, le cas échéant, à l’Administration créditrice, une reconnaissance de la somme due, pour être portée au prochain tableau. XXXIX. * Langue.* 1.—French language to be used. Les feuilles d’avis, tableaux, relevés et autres formules à l’usage des Administrations de l’Union pour leurs relations réciproques doivent, en règle générale, être rédigésen langue française, à moins que les Administrations intéressées n’en disposent autrement par une entente directe. 2.—Official correspondence.

In case of forwarding, the sender’s marking of the trade-charges is preserved intact. The Office of the final destination is the only one which may proceed to convert into its currency the amount of the trade-charge, according to the rate of conversion applicable to money orders, in case it has not the same monetary system as that in which the trade charge is expressed; it is likewise its duty to convert the trade charge into a money order payable in the country of origin.

If it is a mail for an office other than that which has received it, it must be packed anew, preserving however, as far as possible, the original packing. The repacking is preceded by a verification of the contents, if there is reason to suppose that they have not remained intact. 2.— When the office of exchange detects errors or omissions, it immediately makes the necessary corrections on the Letter Bills or lists, taking care to strike out the erroneous entries by the stroke of a pen, in such a manner as to leave the original entries legible. 3.— These corrections are made with the concurrence of two officers.

The forwarding may be requested, either by the post office of origin, or by the commander of the naval squadron or ship addressed, or finally by a Consul of the same nationality. 5.— Such of the mails in question as bear the endorsement “In care of the Consul of . . . .” are delivered to the Consulate of the country of origin. At the request of the Consul, they may be received back into the postal service and be forwarded to the place of origin or to some other destination. 6.— Mails addressed to a ship of war are considered as being in transit until delivered to the commander of that ship, even when they were originally addressed in care of a post office or a Consul 1681 charged to serve as agent for intermediary conveyance; they are not therefore considered as having reached their address, until they have been delivered to that ship. XXV. *Reforwarded Articles.*Reforwarding articles. 1.— In execution of Article 14 of*Ante,* p. 1640. the Convention, and subject to the exceptions specified in Section 2 following, articles of every kind addressed, within the Union, to persons who have changed their residence, are treated by the delivering office as if they had been addressed directly from the place of origin to the place of the new destination. 2.— With regard to articles of theDomestic service. domestic service of one country of the Union, which enter, in consequence of forwarding, into the service of another country of the Union: and with regard to articles exchanged between two countries of the Union which have adopted, in their reciprocal relations, a lower rate than the ordinary Union rate, but which, owing to their being forwarded, enter the service of a third Union country, the rate for which is the ordinary Union rate: and finally with regard to articles exchanged, in their first transmission, between localities of two contiguous services, to which reduced rates apply, but forwarded to other localities in these Union countries or to another Union country, the following rules are observed: 1st. Articles unpaid or insufficientlyInsufficiently prepaid articles. paid for their first transmission are subjected by the delivering office to the charge applicable to articles of the same nature addressed directly from the place of origin to the place of the new destination. 2nd. Articles duly paid for theirPaid for first transmission. first transmission, and upon which the remainder of the postage relating to the further transmission has not been paid previous to forwarding, are subjected, according to their nature, by the delivering office, to a charge equal 1682 to the difference between the amount of postage already paid and that which would have been levied if the articles had been originally dispatched to their new destination. The amount of this difference must be expressed in francs and centimes at the side of the postage-stamps, by the forwarding office. In both cases, the charges referred to above remain to be collected from the addressees, even if, owing to successive forwardings, the articles should return to the country of origin. 3.— When articles originally addressed from one part to another of a country of the Union, and prepaid in cash, are forwarded to another country, the forwarding office must indicate, on each article, the amount of postage so prepaid in cash. 4.— Missent articles of every kind are forwarded without delay by the quickest route to their destination. 5.— Articles of every kind, ordinary or registered, which, bearing an incomplete or erroneous address, are returned to the senders in order that they may complete or correct the address, are not considered, when remailed with a completed or corrected address, as forwarded correspondence, but as newly mailed articles, and become, in consequence, subject to a new charge. XXVI. *Undeliverable Articles.* 1.— Articles of every kind which have become undeliverable, from whatever cause, must be returned as soon as possible after the expiration of the period for keeping them required by the Regulations of the country of destination, and at latest at the expiration of six months in relations with countries beyond the sea, and of two months in other relations, through the intermediary of the respective offices of exchange, and in a special bundle labeled *“Rebuts”*, and bearing an indication of the country of origin of the articles. The periods 1683 of two months and six months are counted from the end of the month in which the articles reached the office of destination. 2.— Nevertheless, registered articlesRegistered articles. which become undeliverable are returned to the exchange office of the country of origin as if they were registered articles addressed to that country, except that opposite the descriptive entry in Table No. I of the Letter Bill, or in the separate list, the word *“Rebuts”* is entered in the column “Observations ” by the returning office. 3.— As an exception, two correspondingSpecial agreements. Offices may, by mutual agreement, adopt a different mode of returning undeliverable articles, and may also dispense with the reciprocal return of certain prints considered to be without value. 4.— Before returning to the officeCause of nondelivery to be indicated. of origin the articles which for any cause have not been delivered, the Office of destination must indicate in a clear and concise manner, in the French language, on the back of the articles, the cause of nondelivery, in the following form: not known, refused, left, not claimed, deceased, etc. This indication is furnished by the impression of a stamp or by attaching a label. Each Office has the option of adding a translation, in its own language, of the cause of non-delivery, and any other useful particulars. 5.— If articles mailed in oneReturn of articles to foreign senders. country of the Union and addressed to the interior of the same country have as senders persons livingin another country, andmnst, owing to having become undeliverable, be returned to the senders abroad, they become articles of international exchange. In such cases, the forwarding Office and the Office of delivery apply to said articles the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of Article XXV preceding. 6. Articles for sailors and otherArticles in care of Consuls returned un. claimed. persons addressed in care of a Consul, and returned by that official to the local post office as unclaimed, must be treated in the manner prescribed by Section 1 for undeliver- 1684 able articles in general. The amount of the charges paid by the Consul on said correspondence must at the same time be returned to him by the local post office. XXVII. *Applications for Ordinary Articles which have failed to reach their Destination.* 1.— Every application respecting an article of ordinary correspondence which has failed to reach its destination gives rise to the following procedure: 1st. A form similar to the Form E hereto annexed is handed to the applicant with the request to fill up, as exactly as possible, the portion which concerns him. 2nd. The office at which the application originates transmits the Form direct to the corresponding office. It is transmitted officially and without any written communication. 3d. The corresponding office causes the Form to be handed to the addressee or to the sender, as the case may be, with the request that particulars on the subject be furnished. 4th. With these particulars added, the Form is sent back officially to the office which prepared it. 5th. In case the application proves to be well founded, it is transmitted to the Central Administration, in order to serve as a basis for further investigations. 6th. Unless there be an agreement to the contrary, the Form is drawn up in French or bears a French translation. 2.— Any Administration may demand, by a notification addressed to the International Bureau, that applications which concern its service shall be transmitted to its Central Administration, or to an office specially designated by it. XXVIII. *Applications for Registered Articles.* 1.— For applications for registered articles, use is made of a 1685 Form similar to the Form F annexed to the present Regulations.*Post,* p. 1718. The Office of the country of origin, after having entered the dates of transmission to the next service, of the articles in question, transmits this Form direct to the Office of destination. 2.— When the Office of destinationLocation of article by office of destination. is able to furnish information as regards the definite disposal of the article applied for, it returns the Form, after having entered thereon the necessary information, to the Office of origin. 3.— Where it cannot immediately—by intermediary office. be ascertained in the service of the country of destination in what manner an article has been disposed of, which has passed in open-mail through several services, the Office of destination transmits the Form to the first intermediary service, which, after having entered the data relative to the transmission of the article to the next service, transmits the application to the next service, and so on, until the final disposal of the article is ascertained. The Office which has delivered the article to the addressee, or which cannot show proof either of its delivery or of its regular transmission to another Administration, states the fact on the Form and returns it to the Office of origin. 4.— The Forms F are drawn upForm, language of, etc. in French or bear an interlinear translation in that language. They are forwarded without a letter of transmission in a sealed envelope, and subjected to the formality of registration. Every Administration is at liberty to request, by a notification addressed to the International Bureau, that applications which concern its service shall be transmitted, either to its central Administration, or to a post office specially designated, or finally direct to the post office of destination, or, if it is the only Administration interested as an intermediary, to the exchange office to which the article was sent. 5.— The preceding provisions doLimitations. not apply to cases of violation of mails, loss of mails, etc., which call for a more extended correspondence between the Administrations. 1686 XXIX. *Withdrawal of Articles and Correction of Addresses.* 1.— For request to have articles returned or forwarded, as well as for requests to have addresses corrected, the sender must use a form similar to Form G annexed to the present Regulations. In handing this application to the post office, the sender must establish his identity and produce, if necessary, the certificate of mailing. After identification, the responsibility for which is assumed by the country of origin, the following course is pursued: 1st. If the request is to be transmitted by mail, the Form, accompanied by a perfect facsimile of the envelope or address of the article, is despatched direct, under registration, to the post office of destination; 2nd. If the request is to be made by telegraph, the Form is handed to the telegraph service which is charged to transmit its contents to the post office of destination. 2.— Upon receipt of Form G, or of the telegram taking its place, the office of destination institutes an inquiry for the articles indicated and takes such steps as may be necessary. If, however, the request for change of address has been made by telegraph, the office of destination simply retains the letter, and defers compliance with the request until the necessary facsimile arrives. If the inquiry is without result, if the article has already been delivered to the addressee, or if the request by telegraph is not explicit enough to allow the article indicated to be recognized with absolute certainty the fact is immediately made known to the office of origin, which communicates it to the claimant. 3.— Unless there be an agieement to the contrary, Form G is drawn up in French or bears an interlinear translation in that language, and, in case the telegraph is used, the telegram is written in the French language. 1687 4.— A simple correction of addressSimple corrections. (without change of the name or description of the addressee) may also be requested direct of the office of destination, that is to say, without conforming to the formalities prescribed for a change of address properly so called. 5.— Any Administration maySpecially designated offices. require, by means of a notification addressed to the International Bureau, that the exchange of applications, so far as that Administration is concerned, shall be effected through the intermediary of its Central Administration or of an office specially designated. In cases where the exchange of applications is effected through the interm ediary of the Central Ad ministrations, requests sent directly by the office of origin to the office of destination must be taken into account to the extent that the article concerned shall be withheld from delivery until the arrival of the application from the Central Administration. The Administrations which avail—expenses. themselves of the option given by the first paragraph of the present section, take upon themselves the expenses involved by the transmission in their domestic service, by mail or telegraph, of the communications to be exchanged with the delivering office. The use of the telegraph is compulsoryUse of telegraph. when the sender himself has made use of it, and when the office of destination cannot be advised in due time by mail. XXX. *Use of postage stamps presumed to be fraudulent.*Use of fraudulent stamps. 1.— Subject to the regulations prescribed by the laws of each country, even in the cases where this reservation is not expressly stipulated in the provisions of the present Article, the following mode of procedure is followed for detecting the use of fraudulent postage stamps for the prepayment of postage: *a*) When the presence of a—procedure on detecting use. fraudulent postage-stamp (counterfeit, or one already used) on any 1688 article whatever is detected, at the time the mail is dispatched, by the post office of a country the legislation of which does not require the immediate seizure of the article, the stamp is not altered in any way, and the article, placed in au envelope addressed to the office of destination, is forwarded under official registration. *b*) This formality is notified, without delay, to the Administrations of the countries of origin and destination, by means of a notice in conformity with Form H annexed to the present Regulations. A copy of this notice is also transmitted to the delivering post office in the envelope which encloses the article bearing the supposed fraudulent postage-stamp. *c*) The addressee is summoned for the purpose of verifying the offence. The delivery of the article takes place only in case the addressee or his representative consents to make known the name and address of the sender, and to place at the disposal of the post office, after having taken cognizance of its contents, the entire article if it is inseparable from the offence itself, or else the part of the article (envelope, wrapper, portion of the letter, etc.) which contains the address and the postage stamp said to be fraudulent. *d*) The result of the investigation is incorporated in a deposition in conformity with Form I annexed to the present Regulations, in which are mentioned the incidents which have happened, such as nonappearance, refusal to receive the article, to open it, or to make known the sender, etc. This document is signed by the postal official and by the addressee of the article or his representative; if the latter refuses to sign, the refusal is recorded instead of, and in the place of the signature. The deposition is transmitted, with the vouchers relating thereto, through the intermediary of the Administration of the country of destination, to the Postal Administration of the country of origin which, with the aid of those documents, proceeds, if necessary, to take notice of the offence, in accordance with its domestic legislation. 1689 XXXI. *Transit Expenses.*Transit expenses. 1.— The statistics taken in the month of May, 1896, for the settlement of the transit expenses will apply until the expiration of the Convention of the 15th of June, 1897, and the present Regulations, under the limitation of the stipulations provided in Sections 2 and 3 following. 2.— In case of the accession toSpecial statistics relating to newly entered country. the Union of a country having important relations, the countries of the Union whose situation might, owing to this circumstance, be found to be modified as regards the payment of transit expenses, have the liberty to request special statistics relating exclusively to the newly entered country. 3.— When an important modificationSpecial agreements for division of expenses. takes place in the movement of correspondence, and when the modification affects a period of at least six months, the Offices interested come to an agreement to arrange among themselves, if necessary by means of new statistics, the division of the transit expenses in proportion to the part taken by said Offices in the conveyance of the correspondence to which the expenses relate. 4.— The mere storing, at a port,Territorial transit charges. of closed mails brought by one vessel, and intended for dispatch by another, does not give rise to the payment of territorial transit charges to the Post-Office of the place where these mails are stored.

In any case, if the Office which has transmitted the accoun t has not received during that period a correcting observation, the account is considered as duly accepted. This provision likewise applies to uncontested observations made by one Office relative to the accounts presented by another. When the term of six months has passed, the amounts due from one Office to another Office are subject to interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum, dating from the day of expiration of said term. 3.— The Offices interested are,Special arrangements. however, at liberty to make, by mutual agreement, other arrangements than those formulated in the present Article.

As regards the exchange of—money orders. money orders, however, the acknowledgment must be transmitted by the debtor office at the time when its own special account is prepared and the account from the corresponding office is received, without waiting until the verification of the details is proceeded with. Any differences which are subsequently ascertained, are taken up in the next account. Unless there be an understandingGeneral accounts. to the contrary, the Administration which desires, for its domestic bookkeeping, to have general accounts, has to prepare them itself, and submit them, for acceptance, to the office with which it exchanges mails. Administrations may come to anOther systems. understanding among themselves for the adoption of some other sys tern in their relations. 3.— Each Administration transmitsMonthly accounts. monthly, to the International Bureau, a Table showing the total credit due to it on the special accounts, as well as the total of the sums which are due to it from each 1698 of the contracting Administrations; each credit appearing in this Table must be substantiated by an acknowledgment from the debtor office: This Table should reach the International Bureau, on the 19th of each month, at the latest; otherwise its liquidation is liable to be deferred until the following month. 4.— The International Bureau ascertains, by comparing the acknowledgments, if the Tables are correct. Every correction which is necessary is notified to the Offices interested. The Debit of each Administration to another is stated in a recapitulation; in order to ascertain the total amount of indebtedness of each Administration it is only necessary to add up the different columns of the recapitulation. 5.— The International Bureau incorporates the Tables and the recapitulations in a general balance-sheet, showing: *a*) the total of the Debit and of the Credit of each Administration; *b*) the balance against or in favor of each Administration, representing the difference between the total of the Debit and the total of the Credit; *c*) the sums to be paid by some of the members of the Union to a single Administration, or reciprocally the sums to be paid by the latter to the former. The totals of the two categories of balances under *a* and *b* must necessarily be the same. It shall be arranged, as far as possible, that each Administration, in order to liquidate its indebtedness, shall have to make only one or two distinct payments. Nevertheless, an Administration which habitually finds a sum exceeding 50,000 francs due to it from another Administration, has the right to claim remittances on account. These remittances on account are entered, both by the creditor Administration and by the debtor Administration, at the foot of the Tables to be transmitted to the International Bureau (see Section 3). 6.— The acknowledgments (see Section 3) transmitted to the Inter- 1699 national Bureau with the Tables are classified by Administrations. They serve as the basis for settling the account of each of the Administrations interested. In this settlement should appear: *a*) the sums relating to the special accounts regarding the different exchanges; *b*) the total of the sums resulting from all the special accounts with respect to each of the Administrations interested; *c*) the totals of the sums due to all the creditor Administrations on account of each branch of the service, as well as their general total. This total should be equal to the total of the Debit which appears in the recapitulation. At the foot of the liquidation account the balance is shown between the total of the Debit and the total of the Credit resulting from the Tables transmitted by the Administrations to the International Bureau (see Section 3). The net amount of the Debit or of the Credit should be equal to the Debit balance or to the Credit balance carried into the general balance sheet. Moreover, the liquidation account determines the manner of settlement, that is to say, it indicates the Administrations to which payment must be made by the debtor Administration. The liquidation-accounts must be transmitted to the Administrations interested by the International Bureau, at the latest on the 22nd of each month. 7.— Payment of the sums due,Payment. in virtue of a liquidation, to another Administration must be effected as soon as possible, and at the latest, two weeks after the receipt of the liquidation by the debtor Administration. Debit or Credit balances not exceedingAccount of balances. 500 francs may be carried forward to the account for the following month, on condition however that the Administrations interested are in monthly communication with the International Bureau. The amounts brought forward are entered in the recapitulations and in the liquidation accounts for the creditor and debt-1700or Administrations. The debtor Administration transmits, in that case, to the creditor Administration au acknowledgment of the sum due, to be entered in the next Table. XXXIX. *Language.* 1.— The Letter-Bills, Tables, Statements, and other Forms used by the Administrations of the Union in their reciprocal relations must, as a general rule, be drawn up in the French language, unless the Administrations interested arrange otherwise by direct agreement. 2.— As regards official correspondence, the present state of things is maintained, unless another arrangement should subsequently be agreed upon by common consent between the Administrations interested.

A PROCLAMATION. Preamble.The approaching November brings to mind the custom of onr ancestors, hallowed by time and rooted in our most sacred traditions, of giving thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings He has vouchsafed to us during the year. Few years in our history have afforded such cause for thanksgiving as this. We have been blessed by abundant harvests, our trade and commerce have wonderfully increased, our public credit has been improved and strengthened, all sections of our common country have been brought together and knitted into closer bonds of national purpose and unity. The skies have been for a time darkened by the cloud of war; but as we were compelled to take up the sword in the cause of humanity we are permitted to rejoice that the conflict has been of brief duration and the losses we have had to mourn, though grievous and important, have been so few, considering the great results accomplished, as to inspire us with gratitude and praise to the Lord of Hosts. We may land and magnify His Holy Name that the cessation of hostilities came so soon as to spare both sides the countless sorrows and disasters that attend protracted war. November 24, 1898, set apart as a day of national thanksgiving.I do therefore invite all my fellow-citizens, as well those who may be at sea. or sojourning in foreign lands as those at home, to set apart and observe Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of November, us a day of national thanksgiving, to come together in their several places of worship, for a service of praise and thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings of the year; for the mildness of the seasons and the fruitfulness of the soil, for the continued prosperity of the people, for the devotion and valor of our countrymen, for the glory of our victory and the hope of a righteous peace, and to pray that the Divine guidance which has brought us heretofore to safety and honor may be graciously continued in the years to come. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this twenty-eighth day of October in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight [seal.] and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-third.
