WAsHIsGroH CIrY, July 30.- General
Ciarkson is preparing report which will
no doubt bring the postoffice department
and congress to q full realization of the
fact that the Northwest. and especially the
Pacific Northwest, has been neglected in
the matter Of mail service. Since the adj
mission Of Montana and Washington
more attention has been paid to the North
west than before, as the senator's and rep
resentatives from those states have had
more influence than ordinary delegates.
Special agents hare been sent out to report,
but the department has found that
the demands from Washington and
Oregon as well were such as to need
further attention and as . consequences
General Clarkson made the Western trip,
and has now returned convinced that the
wants OF that rapidly growing country have
been very poorly supplied.
An attempt 10 being made to reach a sat-
isfactory re-classifcation of the allowances
for the postofiices in Washington. It is
expected that the entire list will have been
gone over by tomorrow. Wilson thinks
that the proposition to change the postof-
fee at Tacomas the building for which .
proposition was submitted some time ago,
will be accepted tomorrow.

WASHINGTON CRY, July 30.-In the
House McComas of Maryland called up the
conference report on the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill. Cannon OF Illi-
nois resigned his right to call up the SUM-
dry civil bill for the reason that sickness in
McComas' family necessitated his speedy
return home. Mutchler of Pennsylvania
opposed the report, on the ground that if
the bill was passed there would be deficit
of from $275, 900 to 100000 After debate
the conference report was agreed to. and
House went into committee of the whole
on the Senate amendments to the sundry
civil bill. Cummings made an attack upon
the director of the geological survey and
favored the Senate irrigation amendment.
Cannon replied briefly. Pending action
the committee rose.
The speaker appointed the following
members on the committee to investigate
the charges against Commissioner Raum:
Morrell. Sawyer. Goodnight. Martin of In
diana and Smyser. Adjourned.

was gross calurny. Markets which
could not be found abroad had to be made
a. home, and they could only be made by
projection. Referring to the countries OF
central and South America, Morrill, said
that OF agricultural products. cattle. sheep
snd horses they had an abundant and
cheap supply. not only for home consump-
ton. but for export To carry any of these
products there in the vain hope of finding
. market would be like carrying
Goals to Newcattie.n On the question of
sugar, Morrill, said that the adding OF free
sugar to the breakfast table presented q
stronger case than tea and coffee presented
IN 1872 for like treatment. If by bounty
the United States conid (as had been done
by several European countries) supply all
OF its own sugar, 500, ,000, 90 would be kept
at home that was now sent to Cuba and
elsewhere, never to return. In conclusion
Morrill, said any amendments offered in
good faith that would improve the bill,
would be cordially received, bat all at
tempts to engraft thorns upon it would, he
hoped. be rejected.
At the close of Aorrill's speech. consid-
Grafton of the bill by paragraphs was con-
tinued, and the amendment offered yes
terday by Mcpherson was rejected. Nc
Pherson continued to offer amendments
for reduction of rates on articles in the
chemical schedule. but all were mercilessly
rejected by party vote. The only change
made in the schedule was reduction, on
motion of Aldrich. of the duty on chloro-
form from 40 to 25 cents per pound.
The tariff bill was then laid aside and
the conference report on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill was presented.
After an executive session the Senate adj

Bill Reported to Establish Systems |
Towns of 5000 People.

61ll hepOrbe0 10 EsIaDl18n systems In
Towns of 5000 People.
WAsHINGToN CIrY, July Ex-senator
Mitchell, from the committee on postoffices
and postroads, today reported favorably
with amendments the bill to extend the
free delivery system. The bill as intro
duced proposes to introduce the system
into towns and cities of not less than 1900
population, or whose postotfice receipts
were not less than 5000 for the previous
fiscal year. The committee changed these
figures to 5000 population and $1,000 post
office receipts.
A letter from the postmaster general
shows that there are 29i cities and towns
that would be entitled TO free delivery, and
it is estimated that the expense of putting
it in operation would be $67 600. The COM
mittee says that an appropriation OF $780,
coo will be amply sufficient for the present
fiscal year, provided the bill is enacted into
law at an early date.
