HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Debate on Rural Free Delivery Bill
The Census Bureau Act.


WASHINGTON, March S.-The House
to-day closed the general debate upon the
bill to classify the rural free-delivery serv-
ice and place the carriers under the con-
tract system. 1t is expected the vote will
be taken Monday. Some preliminary rou-
tine business preceded the debate on the
bill.
A bi1f vas passed to add Baxter, Marion
and Searcy counties to the western judicial
districts of Arkansas.
The conference report on the bill to give
the Spanish Claims Commission power 10
compel the attendance of witnesses and
the production of papers was adopted.
Mr. Sims, of Tennessee, then rose to a
question of privilege in connection with
the adoption of the conference report on
the permanent census bill. He contended
that the statement of the conferees with
reference to Section 5. which originally
placed all the employees Of the bureau at
the time of the passage of the act under
the protection of the civil service, had
misled and deceived the House. The
speaker held that as the whole subject
had been disposed of no question of privi-
lege was presented.
Later in the afternoon a resolution was
introduced in the House by Mr.. Hughes,
of West Virginia, stating that il was the
intention of Congress in passing an act
creating permanent census bureau TO
place in the classified service OF the gov
eminent all the employees OF the Census
once above the grade Of unskilled labOrer
whose names were on the rolls of the census
a the date of the approval of the act.
The resolution further provides that this
intention shall be carried out by the pas
So sc of the resolution.
When the rural free delivery bill was
taken up Mr.. Griggs. of Georgia. made an
hours speech in favor OF the bill The
other speakers were Messrs. McRae, OF
Arkansas, and Bromwell, OF Ohio. for the
bin and Messrs- Talbert of South Carolina
Kern OF illinois; Lever, Of South Carolina;
Aliers, OF Indiana; Robinson. Of Indiana
Tate, Of Georgia, and Brundidge, of Arkan-
sas, against il. At o'clock the House ad-
