THE CITY POST OFFICE.
Mr.. Sayers Pells why He Thinks the
Work Has Been Delayed.

WORK HAS Heen Delayed.
The Washington city post office was I'M
der discussion i'm the House today during
the tendency OF the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Ray of New York made
a point of order against the provision of
the bill which provides that the building,
when completed; shall be under the super
vision of an army or navy officer. Mr.. Ray
said that Congress proposes in this bill to
provide for the care and supervision Of
building that certainly will not be COM
that he had been four years in Congress,
and even when he came here, in the Fifty
second Congress, he found men at work On
the basement Of that building. Now, at
the expiration of four years. the building
has made its appearance above the sur
face of the ground. That is all the pro-
gress 1t has made. At the same rate CT
progress it will not be completed before
there is change in the administration.
Mr.. Sayers interrupted him to say that
the building will be completed in 1896. Mr..
Ray seemed incredulous and asked Mr..
Sayers what caused the delay.
IN tell you what caused the delay said
Mr.. Savers. Its because three days before
the last administration went out OF office
the supervising architect, with the indorse-
ment of the Secretary of the Treasury.
agreed to give the present contractor three
years in which to do work that ought TO
have been done In a year and half, Mr..
Ray asked what is the necessity for the
pending provision as to superintendent.
Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois replied to this
question and said it is the intention to put
in this building bureaus from other de-
partments that now occupy rented quarters
some of which arc in a very unfavorable
condition. The House has right to pro
vide now for the occupancy IF the building.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa thought that the
Secretary of the Treasury has a right to
appoint the custodian to this building with
out action by Congress. Mr. Ray finally
withdrew his point of order and the mat
ter was passed over.

THE SUGAR DUTY.
Cattle Men Will Press for the Entire
Repeal Of the Tax.

Repeal Of the Tax.
Information is received here to the effect
that the western cattle men, who are af-
fected by the discrimination Of foreign
countries on account of the one-tenth of a
cent discriminating duty on beet sugar,
have endeavored to secure the entire re-
peal of the sugar tax. 1t is said that they
have been encouraged that they might ac-
complish this. even thus late in the session.
and that they contemplate sending rep
resentatfve to Washington to press the
matter before the ways and means commit
tee. The administration and the ways ana
means committee are alarmed at the pros
pect of a movement of this sort, being as
sured that it cannot succeed, and that 1t
would probably operate to prevent the
adoption of even the bill reported from the
committee to repeal the one-tenth discrimf-
nation duty which the cattle people are
very much interested in having repealed.
Chairman Wilson said today that he
hoped to get this repeal bill before the
House for action tomorrow.
