MR.. INGALLS, ON THE P. M. GENERAL.
Mr.. Sawyer offered a resolution calling upon
the Postmaster General for a statement of
amounts due postmasters and ex-postmasters Of
Wisconsin under the readjustment of salaries.
Mr.. ingalls, said that some time ago he sub
mitted a resolution calling for similar informa-
ton with regard to Kansas postmasters; that it
was amended so as to include all the states,
and the Postmaster General replied that it
months to prepare the statement Mr.. Ingalls,
had reason to believe that the response of the
Postmaster General was not correct: that was
the mildest term he would use in his criticism.
He had been informed that the adjustments
had all been made and the amounts entered
On the jackets. and all that was necessary to
supply the information would be to make q
transcript Of the jackets. At his suggestion Mr.
Sawyer withdrew his resolution.

| at work, and the chief, indeed, the only, topic
of conversation upon the floor was the probable
tate OF the coming motion to consider the Nor
rison bill.
The House spent the morning In f1libustering.
1t was the purpose of the public lands commit
tee to take up and dispose of the Sioux City
and st. Paul land grant forfeiture before the
| to be passed over on the calendar in order to
reach the bill, and its opponents took advan-
tage Of the opportunity to delay action in each
partly out of the idea that there was going to be
an effort made on the part of some Of the men,
shadow over the title of the Milwaukee and
st. Paul lands, which has been passed upon by
the Supreme Court.
