Back to Conference.

Washington, Feb. 2s-The conference
report on the postoffice appropriation bill
has been rejected by the house and sent
back to conference.
The house met at IL o'clock today. Mr..
Loud presented a complete conference re
port upon the postoffce appropriation bill.
He explained that the most important
amendment agreed upon in conference
was that providing for experiments in
mail delivery in towns and cities not hav-
ing free delivery or rural free delivery
service. He did not think it wise, as it
might commit the government to mail de-
livery in every city town and village and
might ultimately involve an expenditure
of S25. 100000 per annum. The anendment
directing the postmaster general to re-
port on the feasibility of q government.
postal telegraph and telephone system he
also considered unwise. He was opposed
to the government entering upon a postal
telegraph scheme, bat it had been repre-
scented to the cOnferees that this amend
ment must be accepted to avoid complica-
tons in the closing hours Of the session.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
New Haven Professors Theory of
Newly Discovered Luminary.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 2s.-ProfessOr
c. NJ L. Totten, thinks that the new
star in the heavens Nova Persie, may
be the Star of Bethlehem. He does not
regard It as a comet, nor as the star OF
the Magi, which latter, he states, was
IAN aspect rather than a merely tran
sient visitor
Professor Totten claims that the new
star was on the meridian at midnight,
when the great pyramid was built
Moreover, he states that for y years
astrologists and astronomers and the
Magi of many other classes have been
on the watch for such a phenomenon as
this.
Chiefly are they looking for the so
called Star of Bethlehem, which is said
to have been seen last in the days OF
Tycho Brahe" says Professor Totten.
1.-THE period Of the present star may fit
the date of the Nagi to Bethlehem, ,9ne
years ago, for 1902, divided by six yields
BIZ From 1854 A. D. to 1901 would be
