TIED TO POSTAL STUDY
RURAL MAIL SERVICE PROBLEMS
UP NEXT IN HOUSE.

| WASHINGTON, March 2.-The house
of representatives will give most Of it's
time during the present week to postal
affairs. beginning tomorrow with the bill
placing the rural free delivery system on
the contract basis, and following later
with the postoffice appropriation bill. The
rural Tree delivery measure has aroused
much controversy, and there promises to
be an active debate, with considerable
doubt as to the passage of the bill 1t
was the original plan to make the change
in the rural delivery system a feature of
the -postoffice appropriation bill, but as
this would have necessitated special
rule, the proposition was brought forward
in special bill. 1t is expected that
debate on the bill, which is to have
the right of way until disposed Of will
take about two days. The postoffice APP
preparation bill contains items relating
to subsidy for fast mail, which are usu-
ally fruitful of much discussion. 1t is
expected that the appropriation bill will
occupy all of the latter part of the week,
although next Friday is set aside for war
claims.
Aside from regular house work the Re
publican members will hold a second eau
Gus Monday night to consider further the
course to be pursued on Cuban reel.
