Mr.. Wanarn 'ker's New Stamps Defended.
After the adoption by the Senate OF Mr.. VOL
colts resolution calling upon the Postmaster
General to stop the sale Of the Columbian
stamps except where they might be called for,
Mr.. Sawyer, chairman OF the commit
tee on post Offices and post roads, ad-
dressed a letter to Mr.. Wanamaker ask
ing for information That letter has been
received and the Postmaster Gene IA
says that no order has ever been issued re-
quiring any preference to be given to the
new lamp. The criticism attending this issue
Mr.. Wanamaker says. Is a criticism that ia COM
mon to every new issue. The authority Of the
Postmaster General to make such change in the
stamps as he may deem expedient, he says,
is unquestionable. and he cites the changes
that have been made in the past. The size OF
the stamps in question Is due, Mr.. Wanamaker
continues, to the illustrations that were re-
quirtd, and their popularity is best attssted by
the financial results attending their issue. Dnr-
ing January, 1892. at l03 frst-clsss Offices the
sales Of stamps amounted to 81 $40. 489, while
In january Of this year the amount was
e2.2o4.4 76, of which 81, zoe, 666 were from the
Columbian. The people from their own choice
have bought three OF the new to one OF the old
stamps, and the total increase Of sales for the
month was fraction more than 70 per cent.

dry Civil Bill May BE Defeated

dry Civil Bill May BE Defeated.
There has been formed n combination in
the House to fight the sundry civil bill. which
threatens the defeat of that measure and
the necessity of an extra session of Congress-
The opposition is on account Of the sherman
amendment providing for 5 per cent bonds
1t ia regarded as almost certain that il the
amendment is non-concurred in and the bill is
sent to conference the amendment will be
restored in conference and will be kept in
the bill. Therefore the alliance members and a
number of ultra silver men have decided to
liibuster against the bill TO keep it from confer
ence unless an agreement is reached that under
no circumstances will the House conferees ac-
cept the amendment. Such an agreemen:
would be against the principle of free confer
ence and Is not apt to be reached. Ii is he
purpose of tho-e who are in the fight to xii the
Sherman amendment. to filibuster until the 4th
of March and not lei the sundry civil bill pass
at all.
CONFERENCE YESTERDAY
An informal conference was held nj the resi-
dence of Mr.. Carlisle yesterday evening for the
purpose of consultation in regard to the sher-
man act and future legislation in regard to the
same this session OF Congress. Quite number
of gentlemen were present from different parts
OF the country, representing different
views in regard TO the matter The
result Of the conference was that a
bill be prepared and, il possible, brought
In for consideration at once smbodying the
following ideas: First, a suspension of the pur-
chase of silver bullion until the excess Of bull
lion in the treasury over and ABOVE the legal
requirements to redeem the coin notes issued
shall be coined into standard legal tender silver
dollars, and when that is done the Sherman act
again to be executed as now. Ii viii take about
sixteen months to coin this excess so the bull
hon purchase would be suspended for that time
Most OF those present were ant,-silyer men,
bug there were six silver men who agreed to
the measure Breckenridge of Ar
kansas. Oates of Alabama, Clarke of Alabama
Cox Of Tennessee. Turner of Georgia and Liv-
ingston of Georgia. On the basis Of the vote
taken on the 9th OF this month, the votes Of
these men would give victory TO the anti-
silver men. The purpose is 70 try to get the
bill before the Honse tomorrow or next day,
and every possible effort Will be made to force
it through.
