Washington, Jan. 31.--After three hours
of general debate upon the Post Office
Appropriation Bill which was made nota-
BILE by speech in favor of tariff reform
by Mr.. Williams of Mississippi, who is
a candidate for the Democratic leader
ship of the next House, the House today
suspended public business and listened to
addresses on the life and public service
of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and
John Hanson, two signers of the Declar-
alton of Independence whose statues have
been erected by the State of Maryland in
Statuary Hall.
During the debate on the Postofflce
Appropriation Bill, Mr.. Pou, of North
Carolina, discussed the trust question, ar
guing that the bill of the Judiciary Com
mittee was inadequate.
The death of the late Representative
Rumple of Iowa, which occurred this
morning, in Chicago, was announced the
usual resolutions were adopted and a

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 31.--In the
House today while the Postof1ce Appro-
priation Bill was nominally under con-
sideration several members departed
from this subject to express their opin-
ion on the more interesting and impor-
tant trust issue. Among those who die
so, were Jno. Sharpe Williams. whom
many think will be next leader OF the
minority, and Representative Pou. The
North Carolina Congressman occupied
the floor for more than half an hour
during which time he held the attention
not only OF the minority members but
of numerous Republicans and at the
conclusion of his speech received con-
gratulations from scores of members, re-
gardless of party.
There was general laughter when a
verbal tilt occurred between Mr. Pou
and Jno. r. Thayer. Mr.. Ttnayer, while
he halls from Massachusetts, is a Demo-
crat but he is member of the Judic-
iary Committee and he did not like it
when Mr.. Pou showed how inadequate
the Littlefield bill would be in correct
ing trust evils. Mr.. Thayer wanted to
know why Senator Hanna and other
great trust people were opposed to the
measure if its provisions were made
quate to obtain the ends in view. Mr..
Pou retorted that Mr.. Hanna, according
to his professions, did not believe there
were any wicked trusts and doubtless
regarded all attempted legislation as
vain and profitless. Senator Simmons
occupied a nearby seat while Mr.. Pou
was speaking
The young Congressman from North
Carolina made a forcible and telling
speech, dealings with the subject in II
manner at once striking, bold and con-
vincing.
