Several Important Recommendation
Made by Congressman.

WASHINGTON, Jar. 1.-THE postal COM
mission of the House and Senate, which
has been investigating postal matters for
the past two years, made its report to-
day. The commission unanimously reports
in favor of excluding from the second
class mail rate, first. books, whether bound
or unbound; second, newspapers and
periodicals unsold, sent by a news agent
publisher; third, sample copies of news
papers above a certain small fixed proper
ton of the circulation. The commission
also unanimously reports against the con-
tinuance of the system OF transmitting
mails nnanidissinth the PPh pneumatic TUBES under present
that neither a change in let
ter postage nor the establishment of a sys-
tenn OF parcels post is practicable under
existing conditions of revenue and expendi-
ture even If otherwise desirable, upon
which no opinion is expressed.
upon the question of railway mail pay
there are five reports. First, a report
which declares that the present rate of
railway mail pay is not excessive and
ought not to be changed except by the dis
cial facilities, which it declares should be
discontinued; second, a report signed by
