WASHINGTON. March 17.-Postmaster-
general Bisseli signifies his defiance of
Congress on the eve of his retirement from
the Cabinet. He has, through Superintend-
ent White, of the railway mail service,
issued an order which sets at naught the
will of Congress as expressed in a law.
This action was taken after careful con-
sideration. Last June a formal order of the
Postmaster-general was issued requiring all
railway clerks to reside on the lines of
railway on which their respective routes of
service were situated. This order affected
about 1,709 of the $500 clerks in the service.
Many of the Indiana clerks were SO sit
uated as to be seriously incommoded by the
enforcement of the order, which, however,
was not to take effect until the 1st of May
of this year. The Senate inserted in the
postofice appropriation bill a clause pro-
viding that the order of the Postmaster
general should apply to future appoint
ments in the railway mail service. When
the bill was reported back to the House
by its conferees this clause was discussed
at some length. Several members men
toned cases within their personal knowledge
wherein the enforcement of the order would
work hardship. The amendment was finally
agreed TO and the bill as passed nullified the
order except as to future appointments.
Postmaster-genera Bissell has issued an
other order which makes his first effective
and defeats the will of Congress. This last
order Is addressed to all division superin-
tendents and desires them to recall all trans
portation issued to clerks in their respective
divisions of whatever character on rail-
roads other than those over which the
clerks must travel in the discharge of their
duties. Mr.. Bissell and Mr. Nelson, his
second assistant, say they are opposed to
having the clerks of the government re-
ceive favors in the shape of transporta-
tion from railroads over which their public
duties do not require them to travel. The
clerks retort that this transportation has
always been freely accorded them; that the
railroads are willing to continue the prac-
tice without complaint, and. therefore. they
cannot see why the department should OBJ
ject.
During the debate in the House on the
Senate amendment Mr.. Wilson, who is soon
to succeed Mr.. Bissell as Postmaster-gen-
eral, declared in favor of sustaining the
department.. He opposed the amendment in
quite a speech in which he expressed him
SELF as in full accord with the attitude of
Mr.. Bissell compelling clerks to reside
along their routes. This would seem to in
dictate quite plainly that the. railway mail
clerks need not entertain any hope of re-
lief in the line of this transportation ques-
ton at the hands of the incoming Post
master-general.
