Heatwole (Minn) and Littlefield CMe), re-
publicans, voted with the democrats against

Mr.. Payne. the majority leader, then de-
manded the ayes and noes and the roll was
called.
The report was afopted-13S to 100.
Mr.. Littlefield (Me), Mccall Mass.) and
Heatwole (Mnn.) voted with the democrats
against the adoption of the report. The
House then went into committee of the

the bill to classify the rural free delivery
service and place the carriers under the
contract system.
Mr. Landis Qnd.). the first speaker today.

the contract system.
Mr.. LandiS declared that there was abSo-

of the pending measure.
Mr.. Maddox (Ga} also spoke against the
bill He predicted that if the contract

AN INQUIRY IN PROGRESS.
Disputes Between American Contrac'
tors and Workmen in Ecuador.

Disputes Between American Contrac-
tors and Workmen in Ecuador.
The State Department is engaged in
close inquiry into the troubles that have
arisen In Ecuador growing out of disputes
between American railroad contractors and
the native laborers. 1t appears that the
Ecuadorian laws are peculiarly favorable to
the lodgment Of claims by labOrers against
their employers, and wherever there has
been the slightest attempt to deprive the
men Of their wages through either con-
tractors or subcontractors or agents, the
native courts have been quick to take up
the cause of the .laborers. 1t Is asserted
on the part Of the railroad contractors that
the decisions have been almost invariably
against them, quite without regard to the
equities of the case, and the agents, as a
class, have been the principal sufferers.
Their protests through the American minis
ter, Mr.. Sampson, have SO far failed to
secure an amelioratiOn of the conditions
complained of, and the aid of the depart
ment itself is now being invoked through
some representatives in Congress whose
constituents have addressed them on the
subject. It is expected that the American
flag will be more often seen in Ecuadofian
waters hereafter for it has been impressed
upon the Navy Department that the occa-
sional appearance of a warShip there might
have salutary influence. but so far 10
specific orders to that end have been given.

Treasury Will Pay Out Gold in the

Secretary Shaw has received a number
Of applications from New York bankers
asking for permission to deposit gold in the
subtreasury and withdraw equal amounts
from the subtreasury at San Francisco AL
though these applications aggregate in
amount from $50.OOO,OOO to $4,000 600, the
treasury officials feel no uneasiness in con-
sequence. as it IS understood that the ac-
tual amount Of gold needed in San Fran
cisco will hardly exceed a total of $2O,-
OOu.OOO and that the applications In excess
OF this amount were made with a view to
ascertaining what the treasury would do in
case the aggregate should reach the larger
sum. Secretary Shaw will grant the re-
quests for transfers so far as actual busi-
