Collection of Postage stamps Intcnd.
ed for the Paris Exposition Too
Valuable to Risk Abroad.

Washington. june 5.-There is donbt
as to whether the collection of United
States postage stamps intended to lie
exhibited AT the Paris exposition will
be sent to France for that purpose. 1t
has been learned that three sheets of
proof" stamps were lost after being
sent to the exposition. and there is
some question as IN whether il would
be safe to trust further collections of a
similar kind there. The exhibit which
had been prepared is 4 very comrre-
hsnSivc one, including samples of
nearly every stamp issued by this
government. To accomplish this il WAS
found necessary to borrow stamps 20

THE STRIKE AT ST. LOUIS.
Not Listen to the Dropping
of Imported Men.

st. Louis, June 6.-The negotiations
looking to the settlement of the Street
railway strike are practically at a
~standstill. the principal point of diff
fernce being the company's determ.
ination to retain in its service the men
it has imported to replace the strikers.
Attorney Lehman. for the Transit
company. stated plainly yesterday
that every man now in the service II
the company must be retained in the
place assigned him. and until this is
assented to by the strikers negotia-
tons as to other matters are useless.
Meanwhile the sheriff continues to
augment his posse. and the Transit
company's ears are running light"
as people are either afraid to ride on
them. or refrain from doing so on ac-
count of their sympathy with union
labor. Many of the special deputies re-
fuse TO ride on the cars.

been sent to the governor asking him

Washington, June 5.-Congress is in
the last gasps Of the long session, and
its expiration, apparently, is to be
quite perfunctory. Unless something
extraordinary occurs no further gen.
eral Legislation of Importance vii. be
enacted before final adjournment.
The senate was in session more than
ten hours yesterday, nearly fcur hours
beiBg spent in executive session.
The only features of the day session
was the speech on the. Filipino ques-
tion by Teller (Col.), end TIE effort Of
Mr.. P%ettigrew Is. d. to obtain consid-
Grafton for the antitrust bill passed
by the house last Saturday.
At night IL picturesque session was
held-a SORT OF sociaisession-at which
many of th.. senators appeared in full
dress, and the galleries were throrged
with gaily-attired crowds OF spccta-
tors.
Mr.. Pettigrew replied at length to
the speech of Mr.. Spooner (NVis.) on
the Philippines, but did not conclude
his remarks. The remainder of the ses-
sion was consumed in the considera-
ton of conference reports and in pass
ing minor measures on the calendar.
The house adopted the senate amend.
ment to the sufdry civil bill aPpropri-
ating S~55,00O.0O0 for the Louisiana Pur.

was not q word of debate On concur.

1t vas after 6 p. N. when the mat
ter came up, and owing tc the ~lateness
of the hour and the overwhelming ma
jority in its favor the opponents of the
fair appropriation did nc: even make
Il show of opposition. They contented
themselves with demanding roll call,
which resulted 127 ayes to 10 nays in
favor of the appropriation.
The house then. also, agreed tC the
senate item for the Mississippi river
with an amendment reducing the APP
