Washington, May 6.-During almost
the entire session the senate had under
consideration the postotfice appropria-
ton bill. The measure carried $780,
224,30o, being very much the heaviest
of all the appropriation bills. The
most important action taken upon the
measure was the adoption of an
amendment offered 10y Mr.. Tillman Of
South Carolina reducing the number
of deliveries of mail in all cities OF the
country 10 a number not exceeding
four each day. The amendment was
sharply antagonized as a blow TO
business interests in the large cities,
but the feeling of the senate was such
that despite the vigorous opposition, il
prevailed by a decisive majority. A
lively debate was precipitated by an
amendment of the committee striking
out the appropriation of 100000 for
rural free delivery. The proposition
was discussed for nearly two hours,
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire and
Mr.. Butler Of North Carolina leading
the fight in favor of rural delivery.
BY the close vote of % 10 %. however,
h committee was sustained and the
bill now carries no appropriation for
such delivery. An important amend
ment TO the bill was one which will
prevent star route contractors from
subletting their contracts. In order to
get their money they must swear that
they performed the service themselves.
Just before adjournment the senate
passed an important wal measure au-
thorizing the president and general Of
icers of the army 10 supply the Cuban
insurgents with arms and munitions of
war. and empowering officers OF the
army serving in Cuba to supply needy
inhabitants Of the island with meai-
cines and subsistence.

The house adopted the conference
report upon the Notifications bill. The
remainder of the session was con
sumed with the consideration Of the
Alaskan land bill and a resolution for
he repeal of an act prohibiting the
passage of importations in bond thro'
the territory Of the United States into
the free zone of Mexico. The latter
was passed but the Alaskan measure
went over.

BREAKS ALL RECORDS.

Volume Of Business For 3 . Exceeds Any
Previous Year.
New YORK. Dec. 5.-Bradstreets says:
The business world enters on the clos
ing month Of the year with so many
favorable and SC few depressing features
in sight as to leave little doubt that the
year 1898 as a whole must hereafter fur
nish the basis for estimate when COM
parsons of large business are to be
made. Nearly all obtainable statistics
and reports as to the volume of business
point to the present year having heavily
exceeded any former year in the amount
of business done, and though compare
sons as regards prices are not ST favor
able al in earlier years. notably 1892
and 1896, when quotations of most
staples were considerably higher, still
the expansion in trade, due to increased
population and enlarged foreign demand
for u products, has resulted in an
aggregate volume of business done con-
~siderably in excess of any former year.

Verdict Of Appraisal Of Certain Gettysbur,
Park Land Raised.


Park Land Raised.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-The Gettys-
burg battlefield land owners appeal
from the award of jury of view ap-
pointed to appraise the land condemned
by the government for the opening of an
venue through the line of battle occu.
pied by the Confederate forces, which
has been on trial nearly all week before
Judge Dallas in the United States court,
ended with a verdict which adds 81, 1853
to the amount awarded by the jury of
view. There were five different tracts
of land, consisting Of about 100 acres,
involved in the suit. The jury of view
had awarded 5000. 50 to the owners,
and the court jury increased the award
to $40, 922. SO. This latter amount is
also apparently unsatisfactory to the
land owners. AS their counsel filed q
motion for a new trial. The reasons fol-
the motion. however. have not yet been
presented to the court.
