POSTAL Bill PASSES
With all Its East Mail"
Abominations Attached.

Engineers of the Scheme
Finish With a Gag Trick.

Washington. March 19.-The house to-
day passed the postoffice appropriation
bill which has been under consideration
since Wednesday. The main points OF
attack today were the appropriations of
$50 10000 for railway transportation OF
mails and $17l. 600 for special facilities be-
tween New York and New Orleans, and
900 for special facilities from Kansas
City and Newton, Kan. These items an
nually attract more or less of contest.
This year the opposition seemeIl to be less
intense. All efforts TO reduce the appro-
priation for railroad transportation sig
nally faileG and the vote on the southern
mail subsidy was 77-9S against striking
out. By neat parliamentary maneuvering
the opponents of the subsidy were pre-
vented from getting a direct vote on
motion to re-commit with instructions.
DEMOCRATS GUY DINGLEY.
At the opening of the session Mr.
Dingley, the floor leader of the majority.
offered the bill reported from the ways
and means committee providing for the
free entry into this country of guns, am
war material purchased abroad, until
January 1, 1899 He explained that the
committee had unanimously reported the
bill. 1t was asked for by the secretaries
of war and navy.
Some of the Democrats attempted to
poke fun at Mr.. Dingley by asking him
why these supplies should be admitted
free of duty # the foreigner paid the
tax"
Mr.. Dingley replied rather sharply that
it was perfectly understood that where
articles were purchased abroad and i'm
ported, the purchaser paid the duty.
This is bill to indemnify the tax
payer" observed Mr.. Oockery Oem
MOI.
Mr.. McMillen said that he believed the
government should always have the right
a general statute for that purpose. The
bill was passed without division.
THE SOUTHERN REVOLT"
Mr.. Henry Dem, Miss) claimed the
floor as a personal privilege and sent to
the clerks desk for the purpose Of having
it read to the house, a quotation from an
interview with the Spanish ambassador
at Vienna. contained in an Associated
Press dispatch, in which the ambassador
said that if the United States. in the event
of war, should incite the Philippines to
revolt, Spain could revenge herself by
raising revolts in the American southern
states.
Before the reading of the interview was
concluded Mr.. Dingley made the point
that it did not constitute a question of
privilege.
'It contains reflection against por-
ton of the people of the United States,
which 1 desire to repel," said Mr.. Henry.
But the speaker held that ne had not
presented question of privilege and he
was taken off the floor.
THE POSTOFFICE BILL.
The house then went into committee Of

insistent demand from shorts sent the
price up to SLOT during the early part OF
the session, but heavy sales by Letter
broke the price badly toward the close.

May and %.G7sc IN July. Favorable wea-
