NAVAL PERSONNEL BILL
Enactment viii Not Be Rushed TIL APP
preparation Bill Is Passed.

Enactment Will Not Be Rushed TIL APP
preparation Bill Is Passed.
Washington, March 1S.-By request of
Secretary Long, the issue as to the
enactment into law of the naval person
rel bill will not be precipitated until the
naval appropriation bill is passed by
the house This change of view of the
administration was communicated to
the house committee on naval affairs
by Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, who appeared before the
committee at the request OF Secretary
Long. The reason for deferring the
personnel bill is that its adoption as a
rider on the appropriation bill would
jeopardize its passage at this time.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was be-
fore the committee most of the after
noon outlining the sentiment of the de-
partment on the question His appear
ance was opportune, as the previous
direct request OF Secretary Long for
the Incorporation of some features of
the personnel measure into the appro-
priation bill was to have been passed
on by the committee tomorrow The
only items formally recommended by
Secretary Long that will be included in
the appropriation bill will be those in
credslng the NUMBER or assistant pay
masters by 10 and adding twenty act
ing assistant engineers. These are con-
sidered in the light of emergency pro-
visions.
Mr.. Roosevelt explained that there
was a pressing necessity for more men,
but the increase so far as they bore
upon the personnel measure would be
best deferred until the latter could be
considered by itself The committee
agreed with the views expressed, and
Representative Foss of Illinois, chair
man of the subcommittee on organiza-
ton, rank and pay, gave formal assur-
ance that as soon as the appropriation
bill had been passed by the house, his
subcommittee would begin the consid-
Grafton of the personnel bill, and that
there would be no avoidable delay in
action There was no assurance given,
however, that the committee would re-
port the bill, and the individual views
of the members on the question have
not been canvassed.

Post OFFICE BILL.
House Devotes Most of Day to
Merits of Pneumatic Tube
Service.
Amendment Adopted Making 1t Misde-
meanor to "Pad" Mails During the
Period of Weighing.

Washington, March 1S-The house to-
day agreed to the conference report on
the agricultural appropriation bill, and
then went into committee Of the whole
and resumed consideration of the post
office appropriation bill. Only two pages
We're disposed of.
Most of the day was devoted to de-
bate on the merits of the pneumatic
tube mail service in New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, and the adVisability
of continuing the existing contract. An
effort to strike out the appropriation of
S225,000 was defeated but the opponents
of the appropriation succeeded in Sc
curing the adoption of an amendment
providing that no additional contracts
should be made.
An amendment was adopted making
it miSdemeanor for any person to
pad" the mails during the period when
the mails were being weighed, to deter
mine the compensation to be paid to the
railroads for their transportation. The
amendment was recommended by the
department.
Mr.. Walker (rep., Mass) declared that
the officials of the post office department
ought to be able to protect the govern
ment against swinding in the mail
weighings. He said every business man
had much more difficult problems to
solve.
CANCELLING MACHINES.
MIR. Barrows (rep., Mass) moved to
strike out a provision to the effect that
not more than $500 of the appropriation
for cancelling machines should be ex-
pended in anV nost office for each h0 :
coo people. 1t was explained that the
provision had been placed in the bill to
equalize the use of cancelling machines
it being shown that Boston and New
York had 67 and 646 machines, respect
lively, while the large cities Of the west
had not their proportionate Share The
amendment was defeated

THE REE-BATTALION ORDER.
Washington, March Ex-senator Haw-
ley of Connecticut said today that it was
the intention to get through congress
as speedily as possible the three-batta-
lion order which was introduced by sug-
gestion of the department in both houses
yesterday.
This bill, he said, carried a small APP
preparation, and therefore would pass
the house in advance of action by the
senate. The general desire was to Sc
cure the legislation as soon as possible,
and the senate, he thought, would act
promptly after the house had passed the
bill.
