MORE coNsULs FOR ARMENIA,
The house then oettled quietly down
to the consideration OF the diplomatic
appropriation bill. McCreary explained
its provisions briefly. Oaly a few
changes we're made. McCreary offered
an amendment to establish a consulate
at Erzeroum, Armenia, at a salary of
Sll00. Hit moved o consulate at Hai-
pool, Turkey. These amend ments led
TO q reference to the recent slaughter in
Armenia, and Hit, with intenee feeling,
urged the necessity for protecting miss
aionariep, who were cut down like sheep.
Harpool was the nssreet point TO tbs
scene of these slaughters. Both amend
ments were adopted.
Without further amendment the COM
mittes roee and the bill Was passed.
The postofice appropriation bill was
then taken up. The bill as explained
by MIR. Henderson, chairman OF the
committee on postofiicea and ppstroads,
carried SS4 ,442, l52, or $l,6l6,330 less
Than the estimates, but 81 2J6, 355 more
thBn the appropriation for the current
year. The estimated receipts Tor the
next year were ~ 355, 543 leas than the
sum carried by the bill.
Daring the dsbats under the five
minute rule, Quigg Republican Of New
York, offered an amendment to a para
graph included in the last postofice ap.
preparation bill relating to books,
pamphlets, etc sc follows:
Provided that associations organized
to secure i'm provement OF the cond =
ton Of public roads and highways CON
sisting of not less than 1000 members
and maintaining publication pu blished
at least once month, shall distribute
such publications. at second class rates. -
THE wHEEl MEMS PAPER.
Quigg explained thst the publication
designed to be admitted to the mails as
eecond-cisss matter was this organ of the
League OF American whselmen, an
organization " hich has II, 900 me bers.
Dockery, Democrat OF Missouri, made
point of order against the amendment
and Mr.. Hatch, in the chair, temper
arily reserved his decision.
Caruth, Democrat of Kentucky, took
occasion during the debate to expose the
alleged scheme to reduce letter postage
from two cents to one cent The Ma
tional Postage union OF which Lyman
J. Gage OF Chicago was the treasurer.
was pushing tie movement. Through
the agencies of that union, be said, con-
tracts were everywhere made with BUSH
ness men by which one-half of the
postage saved during year wac to be
turned over to the promoters OF the
scheme if it carried.
Caruth estimated the promoters
would divide s5,000000 il the bill was
passed, if the reduction OF postage from
2 to | cent would save letter eenders
$25, 600. 900 annually.
Hatch then sustained ths point of
order made against Quigg's amendment
to allow the publication OF the League
of American Whselmen to go through
the mails at second class rates. With
out amendment the postofice appropria-
ton bill was then passed, and at as
D. m. the house adjourned.
