Washington City, March 31.-In the SEN
ate Georges speech In opposition to Du-
Points claim to q seat occupied most OF
the day. and was not completed. AT 1
o'clock he yielded and the postoffice ap-
preparation bill was taken Up.
PETER announced that he would defer
until tomorrow bis motion to take up the
resolution for senatorial inquiry as TO the
recent bond issues.
In the postoffice appropriation bill the
amendment appropriating S2Gs $50 for the
free delivery system had added to II the
provision that no part Of the sum should
be used for payment TO pos;cffice inspec-
tors. The amendment giving $4,000 add
tional compensation 10 the Oceanic Steam
ship Company for carrying the mails from
San Francisco to Hawaii and other points
aroused opposition from Villas. Allison ex-
planned that the increase was required IN
order to Offset the competition OF the sub
sidized Canadian lire.
Villas said the mail subsidy system
adopted some years ago had entirely failed
in giving moro expeditions or better mail
service and in extending American ship
ping, while II had greatly increased the
cost of the postal service. Tho senator
said he had special interest In this subject,
because he had resisted. while he was
postmaster general. the Inauguration Of
mail subsidies.
Perkins. Rep. Cal. supported the
amendment and spoke OF the large sub

Another Robbery and Double MUIR
der Near UnIontown-in the
indian Territory.

Another Robbery and Double MUIR
der Near UnIontown-in the
indian Territory.
From Hon. Randolph Comstock we
learn of another robbery and double
murder near that place-the killing
having taken place about ten miles west
of Uniontown in the Indian Territory,
and the robbers are supposed to have
been the same parties who robbed Hon.
Tom Comstock some time since. The
facts in the case as learned from Mr..
Comstock are about as follows: The
robbers. it seems, had learned that one
Mack Glass had considerable money
about $200-which he carried in q belt
under his clothing. The robbers. two
in number, met him in the road last
Friday and covering him with their
pistols told him to give up his money.
He said he did not have it with him,
but that it was at the house of Lacy
Lasley. They, thereupon, made Glass
go with them to the latters house and
again demanded the money. Lasley
seeing the scheme told them he did not
have the money, that it was in Union.
town. The robbers, however, would
not believe this, so one stayed with
Glass on the porch, while the other
entered the house with Lasley and pro-
ceeded to rumage through the trunks,
etc. Unknown to the robbers there
were two other men in another room
Lasley knowing this thought If he could
hold the robber in the house and Glass
the one on the porch, they could with
the assistance Of the others capture
both. So he caught hold of the one in
the room, but Glass instead of doing
the same with his man rushed in to the
assistance of Lasley, when the robber
on the porch drew his pistol and shot
him IN the back, killing him instantly
he then walked in to where Lasley was
still struggling with the other robber.
placed the pistol to his head and killed
him. Then one of the men in the other
room brother Of Lasley-Jim-
opened the door and fred on the robbers
without injuring either one. closed the
door, repeating this three times, when
one the robbers shot him, the ball
striking him in the chin and ranging
around to the back of the neck. Then
the robbers left, without getting the
money. The doctors state that jim
Lasley has a chance for recovery. Mr..
Comstock states that the people are
much aroused over the late robberies
and outlawry committed in that neigh.
borhood and every home is prepared for
an attack. The country for twenty
miles around affords excellent hiding
places for outlaws. Lasley was
preacher.
