PosToFFIcE BILL TAKEN UP.
General Debate in the House Takes
Wide Ranue.

. e a
Washington, March 12.-The house
entered on the consideration of the
postofice appropriation bill, but as
usual during general debate on an ap
preparation bill, the members who
spoke devoted themselves to every.
thing except the bill before the house.
(Mass.) attempted to take advantage
OF the division among the Republicans
on the subject of reciprocity by bring
ing forward a resolution to investi
gate reports that the sugar trust would
pc the chief beneficiary of Cuban re-
clprocity. He tried to overturn the de.
cision of the speaker in order to Sc
cure action on his resolution, but the
Republicans came up solidly: against
such course and he was checkmated.
Mr.. Brantley, a Georgia Democrat,
made a speech in favor of Cuban re.
ciprocity, and Mr.. Meyer, a Louisiana
Democrat, one against it. Mr.. Hill
Comm made some remarks on his
monetary bill. The feature of the day.
however, was speech by Mr.. Burle
son attacking Secretary Hay for de-
clining to request the British authori
ties to furnish passports to go through
the British lines to Rev. Hiram W.
Thomas and wife, who desired to &c
to South Africa to distribute Boer re-
lief funds collected in Illinois, Mr.
Hit Gill; chairman of the foreign af
fairs committee, made spirited reply
to Mr.. Burleson, charging the Texas
member with attempting to PREJUDICE
the case before the evidence was in.
Mr.. Hit pointed out that the relief
funds could be distributed through the
Red Cross or the American consuls
and added that it was contrary to in.
ternational usage to allow those in
sympathy with the enemy to go
through the lines in time of war.

FIRST VETO MESSAGE.

President Opposed to Removing a
Charge of Naval Desertion.
Washington, March 12.-President
Roosevelt has sent his first veto mes
sage to congress. It was directed to
the senate and the bill vetoed was
one removing the charge of desertion
from the naval record OF John Glass.
The message is in part as follows:
There can be no graver crime than
the crime of desertion from the army
or navy, especially during war; it is
then high treason to the nation, and is
justly punishable by death. The
names of the veterans who fought in
the Civil war makes the honor>list of
the republic; and I am not willing
to put upon it the name of a man I'M
worthy of the high position
