said the committee had kept steadily

First. the rights Of the debtor. giving
him the most liberal remedies. involun-

persecution.

DOING BUSINESS
House Passes Two Postal Meas
ures Recommended by the
Department.
One Authorizes Private Postal
Cards, the Other Reyiyes the
Penny Post.
Senate Adjourns Out of Respect
to the Memory of Mr..
Crisp.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The attend
ance of members was very large when
the house met, but the galleries were
almost deserted No programme had
been arranged before the house met
After the Journal had been read there
was a hurried consultation OF Mr..
Dingley and other Republican leaders,
as the result of which it was decided to
proceed with the regular order, the call
of committees. Mr.. Loud rep, Cali
from the committee on postoffices and
post roads, called up bill to authorize
the use of private mailing cards OF the
same weight and form as the postal
cards now in use, when a one cent
stamp is affixed. The bill, he said, had
been approved by the postoffice depart
ment, as it would tend to popularize
postal cards besides affecting saving
to the government Of the difference be.
tween the cost of the cards and the
stamps. The scheme had been success
fully put in operation in England,
where in six months the number OF
such cards mailed had increased from
$4,000, 900 to 1886, 100000.
The bill was passed. 1t takes effect
July 1, 1897. He also called up bill
to provide limited indemnity for the
loss of registered mail matter. 1t pro-
vided an indemnity of not to exceed
$40 for @ny one registered letter, but II
of less value, not to exceed the actual
value. This bill was also approved by
the postoffice department. such an in
demnity is made by nearly all the for
eign countries. The postmaster gen
eral expressed the opinion that the i'll
creased revenue from registered mail
would more than offset the indemnity
losses to be paid.
Mr.. Loud said that on the basis of
last years statistics, the government
could have revenue of 5000, 900 with a
liability of 800, 900. There was some
criticism of the bill on the ground that
it trespassed on the rights of express
companies, but was passed, rs to IL.
Revival of the Penny Post.
Mr.. Loud then called up the bill OF
Mr.. Sperry rep, Comm to authorize
the collection and delivery OF
mail in cities, towns and
villages, where no letter carrier
service exists, by the employment un-
der mutual agreement between the
citizens of any person in such place to
perform this service at a cost not ex.
ceeding l cent for the delivery of each
letter or package. The expense of de-
livery under the terms of the bill is to
be borne by the benefciaries, and there
is no liability so far as the government
is concerned.
Mr.. Sperry said there was strong
demand for the passage of the bill from
New England and from other farming
sections. It would be in effect, he said,
revival of the old penny post.
Morris tribune., 1896-12-09
Adjourned Out of Respect For Crisp.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-The senate
settled down to business at once and
there were few evidences of the excite.
ment of the opening session. The at
tendance was small.
Many petitions were presented from
manufacturing bodies, urging the pas
sage of the Dingley bill. The early
opening of Cuban discussion was
foreshadowed by notice from Mr..
Cullom rep, Ills.) that ON Thursday
next he would address the senate on
the Cuban question.
The house resolutions relative to the
death of ex-Speaker Crisp were then
laid before the senate. Mr.. Bacon
Dem, Ga) stated that at later day
he would ask that day be set fol
eulogies on the distinguished Georgian.
AS mark of respect to the deceased,
the senate at ~ 20 adjourned.
