POSTOFFICE BILL
Discussed by the House In Committee of
the Whole.

Discussed by the House In Committee of
the Whole.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The House
went into Committee of the Whole, Mr..
Tanner, of Georgia, in the Chair, on the
postoliice appropriation bill. Mr.. Blount,
of Georgia, explained that the bill carried
an appropriation of $50. OBS, $40 against an
appropriation OF $55, 1874, $50 for the cur
rent fiscal year. He deemed il necessary
to give the causes for this increase.
The appropriation for compensation Of
postmasters for 1888 was $ll, zoo, 900.
The Sixth Auditor stated that the expen-
diturss for this item in 1887 amounted to
$ll, ,939 ,43l, or 1929, ,45l more than the
appropriation for 1888. At the same time
it appeared that while in 1886, the gross
revenues increased the rate of 3 26 per
cent in 1887, the increase was l4.06 per
cent.
The same large increase of receipts was
expected to take place in 1883. In the
appropriation bill for 1888, there was no
appropriation for rent, light and fuel at
third class offices. In the proposed bill
there was inserted for this purpose the sum
of $3.50, COZ.
Heretofore the postmaster of third class
Office was compelled to pay for those items
from his salary.
After lengthy debate the bill was read
by sections for amendment.
Mr. Adams, of Illinois, moved to in
crease from Sc, 600, 900 to Sc, 200, 600 the
appropriation for the tree delivery system.
Rejected.
Mr.. McRae, of Arkansaw. moved 10 in
crease from S., 400. 900, to $4,000, 600 the
appropriation for Star route service. The
motion was advocated by Messrs. McRae,
Symes and Perkins, but was rejected.
Pending final disposition Of the bill the
Committee rose and the House adjourned.

The O. X. r. Directors Trip Of Inspection
Over the Road.
SpeeLaI Tse9ram to The R'91Ser.
PARKKRsBURe, May 23.-The ONO
River railroad syndicate, with the excep-
tion of Col. VIM. P. Thompson, went
down the road to-day as far as Huntington.
The road, including the Point Pleasant
bridge, was carefully inspected, and the
eastern parties were highly pleased with
the condition of things. Senator Camden
took the party in carriages to Guyandotte.
The principal purpose of the trip was to
order Engineer FHckenger to make esti-
mates upon feeders from Jackson @. II. to
Ripley, and from Spencer to Rayenswood.
The Tyler county feeder was not consid-
cied.
It ia understood the tressels will be filled
along the road as soon as possible. The
board of directors organized with George
W. Thompson as President and W. N
Chancellor az Secretary. johnson n. Cam
den, Jr., son OF ex Senator Camden, has
been elected treasurer and paymaster OF
the road. The party stay here tonight and
tomorrow 90 to FAirmont, after which
they will return here. The train that
carried the party to Huntington made
sixty miles an hour part of the way, inn
pressing some more elderly members of
the party very perceptibly with the solid
ity of the road bed and excellence of the
roII;po Utock The hell had to be rupg
several times on the engineer as the mo-
tion was too rapid, for those not accus-
toned to such swift travelling.
