LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Conflict During the Morning Hour of
the Senate.

Washington, Feb. pa conflict be-
tween labor and capital took place in
the morning hour of the senate today.
1t came un in the shape of a resolu-
ton to withdraw from the president an
act authorizing the Metropolitan Rail-
road company of Washington to extend
its road into one OF the suburbs. That
resolution had been inspired by the
knights of Labor in order to punish
the railroad company for Diminishing
and refusing to take back several of
It's employees who were members of
that organization. The senators most
conspicuous in the cause of labor were
Mr.. Allen (Pop., Neb.) and Mills Dem.
Tex), while the cause of the railroad
company was sustained by Senators
Mcmillan (Rep., Mich.), Gallinger
Rep., n. H.) and Faulkner (Dem., w.

mittee for the District of Columbia.
Finally the resolution was laid on the
table by a vote of 80 to "a.
The remainder of the days session
was occupied in the consideration of
the postoffice appropriation bill, which
appropriates $95, S35,3sS.
The points which led to discussion
were the item of the payment of rail-
way mail transportation and the prop
osition to create a committee on that
general subject.
Mr.. Butler Pop, N. c. desired to
have the railroads paid at the rates
which are charged by express COM
panies for like service, but his amend
ment was ruled out on point of or
der. The senate amendment for a joint
committee of the two houses to inves-
tigate the whole subject was modified
by the committee itself so as to pro-
vide for a joint committee-a nominal
change only-and then a substitute was
offered by Mr.. Chandler (Rep., N. HI
proposing that the committee shall
consist of the two chairmen of the
postohice committee in the senate and
house, the postmaster general and two
citizens to be appointed by the presi-
dent. and that the scope of its inquiry
shall embrace the correction of alleged
abuses in the postal service, including
mail matter. the extern
sion of free delivery in the rural re-
gion, the reduction of the cost of rail-
road TRANSPORTATION. the adoption of
one-cent letter postage and other like
questions.

this subject Mr.. Dubois (Sil., Ida.) mo-
tilted the Republicans that they could J
