To Mr.. Underwood by the Republicans.
MIR. Williams argued that it should be
accepted, not SO much because of the
threat Of reducing Southern representa-
tion, as to prevent the opening up of the
race question in the South.
Mr.. DeArmond, of Missouri, and j. r.
Williams. of Illinois, supported the Swan
son resolution in forcible speeches.
Toward the close of the session of the
caucus a number of amendments to the
pending resolutions were offered, also sew
eraa other independent propositions, one
Of which was to make the action of the
caucus binding. All these, except the
last, were withdrawn or voted down, and

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 1.-THE
general debate upon the Cuban reciprocity
bill closes tomorrow at 8 o'clock, and
it is the intention Of the House lead
ers # possible to force a final vote upon
the passage Of the bill before adjourn-
ment tomorrow night. All day long the
leaders were counting noses and prepar-
ing generally for the final struggle to-
morrow The Democrats are SO badly
split up on this proposition that caucus
was held tonight.
The opponents Of the bill occupied much
of the time of the debate. the feature be-
ing a vigorous speech by Mr. Cushman,
of .Wahsington Republican), against the
measure Mr.. Cushman arraigned the
Committee on Rules and the House lead
ers in a. breezy and at times sensational
fashion. "A portion Of his criticism was
in a semi-humorous vein, but some Of it
was decidedly caustic. 'a
Mr.. De Armond, one Of the leading
Democrats of the House, delivered a
forcible speech in favor Of the tariff
reduction on trust articles. The other
speakers were: Messrs. Pierce. of Tennes-

Washington Departments Take
Up CudgeIs for Richmond.
More Room Needed.

The United States Postoffice Depart
ment IS getting ready to kick out Of the.
traces unless the Committee on Grounds i'd:
and Buildings gives some relief in Rich;
mond. s Z. IS
II was learned last :iight from e q relia-s
ble but private source that the
United States Postmaster-G General had
taken the matter up, and had; politely
informed the. Congressional Committee
tnat unless a provision was made py!
which Richmond would get the annex {
least, that he would take the matter into
his own hands. He is allowed by law
to do this.
The law governing postoffices allows the
office money enough to provide for. all the
expenses necessary for the conduct. of the
business. 1t can spend every. cent 1t
makes and draw on the United States
treasury to do this. But the Richmond
office pays a handsome surplus into the
treasury of the United States.
Now the Postoffice department Informs
the committee that Richmond has not the
room necessary to do the business that
Annually passes through it, and unless
the size of the present office is Increased,
another building will be secured for which
tho surplus now going into the treasury
will be used. This 1ntormauon was CON con
vcyed to the committee in the most po-
lite fashion possible, but in such away
as to tell its distinguished members where
the department stood.
But it is not likely that this extremity
will be reached. The annex is certain,
unless the new postoffice, which is a pos
sibility, comes. Chairman Mercer told
Postmaster Knight that he knew OF but
one postoffice in the country that need
cd larger quarters than the Richomnd
Office This sounds encouraging.

New York August 1.--Another change has been made by the Southern Pacific in its new plan for handling ocean traf- fic between New York, New Orleans and Galveston, says the Journal of Com merce A short time ago announcement was made that the Southern Pacific or Morgan line would abandon New Or leans as through port and would es- tablish direct service to Galveston for all through traffic.
