HOUSE.

The Speaker announced the follow
ing committee to consider the questions
and answers in regard to certain tele-
phone poles: w. C. Achi, A. G. M.
Robertson and w. F Pogue.
Minister Damon presented the fol-
lowing answers to questions PROFOUND
ed by Rep. Kahaulelio:
Applicants have been made for post
Office lock boxes. There are now about
q names en- file. There are no boxes
to be had. While there are only a
comparatively few names registered,
many more could be rented if we had
them, and when the new front now in
contemplation is put in the office, we
expect to have from 200 to 800 more
boxes and thus hope to meet all de-
mands."
Minister Damon gave further infor-
nation to the effect that for some
months past firms in San Francisco
and Chicago had been communicated
with in regard to new boxes. At pres
ent there is a front of $50 boxes The
new scheme makes the number 500.
The Superintendent of Public Works
has ordered the boxes which are prob
ably now on their way to Honolulu.
They are of new modern type and of
different sizes. The delay has been
no fault of the post office, the Finance
Department or even the Department
Of Public Works. The delay had been
on account Of the length of time neces-
sary for communication and final
agreement.
Rep. Robertson moved the part of
the Senate communication telling of
slaughter Of House Bills q and 43 be
referred to the Committee on Passed
Bills. From what he had heard and
from the newspaper reports of the
proceedings of the Senate, the two bills
had not received proper consideration.
The first Of these bills was brought up
in first reading and motion was made
to refer to a committee. This was
lost and the motion to Indefinitely
postpone was put and carried. The
second bill was treated in a like man
ner Both bills had been given the
most careful attention in the House
and to have them treated in such
a manner by the Senate was both i'm
proper and cOntemptuous. Action had
been taken without consideration and
without any information from the
House committee or the intrOducer to
learn the objects of the bills. If the
Senate should continue in that way,
the House, out Of pure self defense,
would be compelled to treat Senate
bills in a like manner. The motion Of
Rep. Robertson to refer part Of the
communication to the Committee on
Passed Bills, carried. The bills TO

SLOW WORK.

Special to the Register
Charleston, w. Va, June 13.-Maior
w. II. Banks, one of the officers sent
back from Chickamauga to raise 336
additional volunteers to recruit the first
regiment, was here to-day and visited
the capitol. Major Banks, with five
privates, was sent to Huntington to re-
cruit, while Capt. Kramer was sent to
Wheeling, and Lieut.Ea to Fairmont.
Major Banks is not making the progress
in raising men at Huntington that he
had hoped for, and the hardness of the
work at other points was the cause of
a conversation over the long distance
telephone to-day between Howard At
kinson and Senator Elkins, relative to
the matter Of allowing the recruiting
officers to visit other points than Hunt
ington, Wheeling and Fairmont in or
der to hasten the work of raising men.
Senator Elkins said he would consult
the Secretary of War in regard to il.
and the Governors private secretary.
Howard Atkinson, sent a telegram to
Adjutant General Corbin this afternoon
suggesting that Major Banks, after
raising what men he could at Hunting
ton to visit Charleston and Hinton:
that Captain Kramer be ordered to re-
cruit at Wheeling, Warrington and
Grafton, and that Lieut. Eaton recruit
at Fairmont, Martinsburg and in the
eastern Panhandle.

A BIG OIL FIRE.
Point Breeze Refinery Suffers a Loss
Of 100000.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 13.-The ex-
tensive plant of the Philadelphia Oil
Refining Company at Point Breeze was
visited by a fire tonight which for a
time threatened to prove most disas-
trous. BY the almost herculean efforts
of the company's workmen and nearly
the entire department of the city the
flames were held in check and the loss
held within 100000. Five separate
alarms were sounded and twenty-five
companies responded IN addition to the
police and fire boats. Adjoining the
dock were the tanks filled with crude
and paraffine oils. On these the two
workmen and fremen labored with long
lines of hose and kept the intense heat
from igniting the contents. Two
barges at the dock were burned and
one ship was badly scorched.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
