WANT MORE DELIVERIES.
Protests From Greater New YOrl
Over the Reduction.

Protests From Greater New York
Over the Reduction.
The purpose of the Post Office Depart
ment to limit the number Of deliveries in
the residential portions of cities having
the free delivery service to four day will
be bitterly opposed by the cities interested.
Already protests have begun to pour in
and the matter has been taken up by con-
gressmen. Representative Quigg and Post
master Wilson of Brooklyn yesterday
called upon Mr.. Heath, the first assistant
postmaster general, to protest against the
enforcement of the order. They both in
sisted that such a change would not be
tolerated by the citizens.
They We're informed that the order had
been issued for the purpose Of preventing
a deficiency, and the only way the present
service can be maintained is by an in
crease in the appropriation.
Representative Quigg said the New York
delegation was unit on the question, and
would do it's utmost to secure a sufficient
appropriation to continue the present serv-
ice.
1t was shown during the interview that
in New York city there were seven de-
liveries a day in the residential section
and six day in Brooklyn. In Chicago
there are but three deliveries a day.

JANE HALLS ESTATE.
The Senate PASSES Bill to Releas,
1t to Her Son.

1t to Her Son.
The Senate yesterday passed Senate bill
10S1, authorizing the Secretary of the In
terror to quitclaim and release to Francis
Hall and Juriah Hall all title of the United
States in and to the east 20 feet front by 100
feet deep of lot 2, square 1913, of the city of
Washington. A similar bill was passed by
the Senate in the last Congress.
The circumstances which have brought
about the request for legislation in this
case are peculiar. 1t appears that Jane
Hall was born a slave in Maryland in the
year 1893. She ran away from her master
and came to Washington about the year
1870. After arriving in Washington she had
two children, both born while she was vet
a slave. In 1921 she was manumitted. Jane
Hall continued to reside in Washington
until her death, in 1862 never having been
married. In the year 1912 she bought the
east 70 feet front by full depth of 100 feet
of lot No. 2, in square No. 493, of the city
Of Washington. She built a small house
en- the said ground and lived there contin-
uously until her death, and from the time
Of her death until the present time the
house and grounds have been occupied by
her son, Francis Hall. 1t appears that the
said Jane Hall died intestate, and in the
absence Of cola teral relations that the title
to the said lot has escheated to the United
States. and that in order to secure to
Francis Hall his rights and the relinquish-
ment on the part of the United States of
all right and title to the said lot a quit
claim must be granted by Congress.

Representative Lloyd's Opposition to
the Civil Service System.
After The Stars report of proceedings In
the House of Representatives yesterday
closed. Mr.. johnson attributed the present
"discordant and disgraceful scene" now
being enacted in Ohio with its visions of
senatorship going glimmering.' to the
scramble for spoils state and national. and
said that the surest way to put Bryan ami
his black banner in the White House in
1900 would be for the republican party to
be recreant to its trust and to slap I'm the
face those who believed in an honestly
conducted service. Without desiring in any
way to reflect upon the present occupant
OF the White House, Mr.. johnson said he
was convinced that there could be no
genuine civil service reform until by con-
sttutional amendment the President was
made ineligible for reelection As long as
he was eligible for reelection he must
necessarily be more or less under the domi-
nation of machine politics After express
ing his confidence in President Mckinley
Mr.. johnson concluded with an eloquent
appeal to him to stand by the principle
upon the perpetuity of which the perma-
niece Of Our institutions depended
Mr.. johnson was given an enthusiastic
demonstration of approval when he con-
cluded.
Mr.. Lloyd (Mo) followed in opposition to
the law, which, he argued, was an attempt
TO stablish an aristocratic government by
establishing an office-holding class

Jersey, to amend the labor law so as to
limit to eight hours the daily service of
laborers and mechanics employed on the
public works of the United States and in
the District of Columbia; Mr.. Dayton of
West Virginia. to divide the state into two
judicial districts; Mr.. Reeves Of Illinois, to

sonable use Of inventions and discoveries
by the public and to protect patentees; Mr..
Miers of Indiana, to pay eight and one
third dollars per month to each private or
non-commissioned officer serving for thirty
days in the late war for such time as
served; Mr.. Barham of California, to ere
ate a department Of mines and mining.

IN CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY,
Mr.. Bryan's Name Appears as Mlnfste
to China.

MT. bryan's Name Appears as Minister
to China.
The name of Charles Page Bryan ap-
pears in the last edition of the official Con-
gressonal Directory as minister to China
A similar thing occurred when Mr.. Cieve-
land nominated Mr.. Hornbloxer for the
supreme bench Though never confirmed
MIR. Hornblower appeared in this official list
as a supreme justice. 1t was supposed by
some of the members of the Senate that
the appearance of the name of Mr. Bryan
in the official directory was the result of a
clerical error, as in the case of HornbIow-
er, but it seems that such is not the case
Mr.. Bryan was commissioned minister to
China before Congress met, and thus, by
virtue of recess appointment, he is now
the minister 10 China, and will continue to
be such, II his name is not withdrawn, I'M
til he is rejected by the Senate or until the
Senate adjourns. There is much uncer-
tainty as to his confirmation.
The discussion will spread out so as to
take in the general Chinese question and
will probably lead to an effort to get some
expression Of opinion from the Senate in
antaSonism to the partition of China and
suggestive of policy which the admins
traticn should carry out. The question is
almost certain to come up anyhow, sooner
or later, but discussion over the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Bryan will tend to hasten it.

The Torpedo Boat wfnslow.

The torpedo boat Winslow- has been or
dered to go to Newport from Norfolk and
take on her torpedo gear. When this Is
fitted and tried she will proceed to join the
fotilla at Key West or whatever place 1t
may be when she arrives in Florida waters.
The reports from the fotilla are highly en-
couraging to the naval oflicials who project
ed the cruise. Mishaps and accidents have
been fewer than were expected In view OF
the newness of the boats and lack of pre-
Iiminary drilling OF the men, and the boats
are said to be working together in q man.

LEADERS MAKING READY.
Preparing for the Coming Struggle
I'm the House.

IN tne HOUSE.
While the House of Representatives is
INDUCING in the pastime of laundering in
the Record about the civil service law, the
leaders on both sides of the House are pre-
pairing for a struggle over important ques-
lions which are expected to have a bearing
on politics in the future. The democrats
are lining up for a Cuban fight, and are
trying to strengthen the opposition TO the
annexation of Hawaii, in consideration OF
the possibility that the question of annexa-
ton may have to be dealt with by both
houses.
They are also prepa ring for a fight over
the currency question, which they think
must inevitably come before the House.
They anticipate defeat on all these PROPOSE
tions, but want to make such political capi-
tai as they can. Meanwhile, the republic
cans are trying to lay out program, and
sentiment thus far developed indicates that
1t will not be policy of inaction. The SUBJ
committee of the foreign affairs committee
having the Cuban resolutions before them
are studying the question carefully, and ii is
expected that they will report some sor; of
resolution as a substitute for all those be-
fore them. 1t will probably go little beyond
an expression of sympathy with the Gu
bans, deploring the condition of the island
and expressing confidence in the disposition
and ability of the administration TO deal
with the question.
AS to the Hawaiian question, If the treaty
should fail of the Necessary two-thirds in
the Senate, the committee will be ready to
report promptly measure for annexation
by legislation. Latest developments, how
ever, lead the friends of annexation to be-
lieve that the treaty will be ratified. so lhat
such legislation will not be necessary.
With respect to currency legislation, ii is
now believed that a measure will be pre-
scented which will get sufficient support
from republicans to insure its consideration
and adoption by the House. The Matthews
resolution, declaring that the government
obligations are payable in gold or silver, at
the option of the government, which Mr..
Teller introduced yesterday after consulta-
ton with other silver men, is expected to
be reported to the Senate from the finance
committee on Tuesday. The republicans
will resist the passage of the resolution by
strength it will have. 1t cannot be passed
publicans from the western states who are
called bimetallists. 1t is certain, however.
to lead to a long and earnest debate, which
will probably have great political signifl-
canoe.
If it is passed, 1t is probable that the
House will adopt as a substitute for 1T. or
as a counter move, the resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Jenkins of Wisconsin. de-
claring the government obligations to be
rayable in silver or gold coin, at the option
of the holders of such obligations, and that
all legal tender money shall be kept at the
value of the present gold dollar. This reso-
luton is In accordance with a resolution
adopted blythe Wisconsin legislature.

NEW REVENUE CUTTERS.
Senator Frye's Bill to Authorize Con.
structiOn of Eight.


Senator Frye yesterday introduced a bill
authorizing the Secretary Of the Treasury
to have eight vessels constructed for the
use of the revenue cutter service, four of
them to cost 100000 each, one of them to
cost $25OOOO and the other three $4,000
each. The first four are to be used in re-
placing the Seward, the McLane, the Col
fax and the Boutwell, and the last three
replacing the Washington at Philadelphia
harbor the Hamlin at Boston harbor and
the Chandler at the New York harbor.
The $3.50, 900 vessel is to be used at the CO.
lumbia river bar on the Pacific coast. The
bill was introduced at the instance of the
Treasury Department. The old vessels to
be replaced are complained of as obsolete
and unfit for the service required.
