the pumps. were emptied to tighten the ship
The effect of the strain OF last weeks attempts
Is apparent In the increase Of water in the

discontinued, and 1t Is proposed TO try some
new plan for tightening the vessel.

Committee on Postoffices and Post
Roads to-day restored the appropria-

The appropriation is for the continu-

rhia and Boston. Later in the day,
upon the urgent solicitation of Repre-
sentative Lorimer of Chicago, the COM
mittee decided to remove the restric-
tion as to the cities where the appro-

crease it to 100000. This will give
Chicago and other cities an opportuni-
