IN THE HOUSE.
Political Debate over the Funding
of Territorial Bonds.


WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE house to
Aay passed the civilizations appropriation
bill, with but single amendment. and
made some headway with the postoflice
appropriation biz. But the major por-
ton Of the day was consumed in poEt-
zeal debate on the hnapcial question which
was preclpitated By an innocent pro-
vision IN bin providing for funding the
debts Of the territories.
The bill aroused the opposition of Nc
Milhn. because il provided for gold bonds
and payment OF interest in gold or its
equivalent. and he offered the following
amendment:
Provided. that the principal and inter-
est OF the bcnxs funded under this act
shall be payable IN any lawful money OF
the United States except the Arizona
bonds above described heretofore issued"
After heated debate. which brought up
the issues OF the late campaign. the
amendment was agreed to--I49 TO :. and
the bill was passed.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole and took up the postofice ap-
propriatlon bill. Loud OF California. in
charge said there was some question
about the justice OF thu present method
o. determining the compensation to te
given 10 the various railroads sor carry
irS mails. He said congress could do
nothing but tx the maximum compensa-
tion. II was within the power or the
postmaster general 10 devise methods FOR
obtaining the transportation OF malls ar
just and equitable rates. The cost OF the
transportation OF the mails during the
past eighteen years had been S3os 90 000.
or this sac G4o 600 had gone TO the land
grant roads which received - per cent.
less than non-aided roads. Yet the trans
portation OF mail was so profitable TO those
land grant roads at the reduced com
peusation that they rad put on fast mail
trains in order TO get the contracts. He
thought all the roads should be put on the
same basis. The ron-aidcd roads could
afford 20 carry the mails at the rates paid
land grant roads.
8romwell - Ohio, a member of the post
Office committee refused 10 give hts as
sent 10 the subsidy given the fast mail
from New York 10 New ORLEANS. He de-
clsred the 1880 appropriated was 4 free
gift 10 the railroad. He gave notice he
would tomorrow m-vs 10 strike cut this
appropriation.
Swanson OF Virginia defended the ap-
propriattou which. he declared furnished

distribution of mail throughout the South
