FOR SPECIAL MAIL FACILITIES
An Attempt in the House to Defeat the
Appropriation.

Washington, ID. c., March 10.-Ihe
House to-day witnessed the perennial
attempt to cut off the appropriation
for special mail facilities between Bos-
ton, via New York and Washington to
Atlanta and New Orleans.
This appropriation has been carried
in the postoffice bill since 1873. This
year it amounted to S196,000 and
coupled with it were appropriations for
special facilities between Kansas City
and Newton, Kan, and Chicago and
Council Bluffs, la. The latter items,
however, went down before points of
order. An attempt was made to rule out
the Southern subsidy, also, on point
of order, but Mr.. Payne, OF New York,
overruled the point.
During the debate, the statement was
repeatedly made that three Postmaster
Generals had condemned this appro-
priation, but this was parried by the
citation of the proviso which empower
ed the Postmaster General to withhold
the appropriation unless it was deemed
necessary to promote ''the interests of
the postal service" The motion to
strike out the appropriation was de-
feated 93 to 11G.
The Postoffice bill was disposed OF
to-day. During the morning hour a
bin was passed making a years con
tinuous residence" in a territory pre-
requisite to obtaining a divorce in
such Territory.

persed them temporarily. Later the

dents who met the onslaught with
showers of stones.
Order, however, was finally restored
