In discussing eXtraneouS subjects. By
FAR the most interesting feature of the
day was the debate on the question of
reducing the mail carrier service i'm the
large cities owing to the failure of the
senate to attach the estimated de-
ficiency of 100000 to the urgent de-
hciency bill. A dozen representatives
from as many different cities protest
ed against the proposed reduction and
urged IN immediate appropriate
when Chairman Loud. Of the poStoflice
committee, and Chairman Cannon, of
the appropriation committee, allayed
the wrath of the members by assuring
them that there was no occasion for
alarm; that the service could not pos
sibly suffer until June Is, before which
time there would be ample opportunity
to pass deficiency appropriation. Mr..
Loud used strong words In his criti-
cism of the postofiice department Of
ficials. and promised some interesting
disclosures later on. The motion to
strike out the appropriation for the
Carlisle Indian school was defeated af-
ter considerable debate-29 to e.. Ten
