EFFORT TO sQUELcH TALBERT
 INEFFECTIVE.
General Debate on the Postoface Ap- propriation Bill Enlivened by Some Speeches on the
 Tariff Question. .a

Washington. Feb. 1.-The general de- bate on the postofice bill was enlivened today by an interesting discussion of the tariff question. It was participated in by MT. sibIey Rep.. Pal. MT. Williams Dem., Miss.), and MT. Griggs (Dem., Ga.) e. Consideration of the postofice bill 'ir committee of the whole was completed but 1t was not passed. The annual at tempt to strike out the appropriations for special mail facilities between Wash ington and New Orleans and Kansas year by Mir. Talbert of South Carolina who followed up his motion after 1t was defeated in committee of the whole with a motion In the House to recommit the bill with instructions to eliminate the provisions. The latter motion is designed to place the members on record. His motion was pending when the House ad- journed.
 Mir Sibley (Pa) attracted much atten- tion by his remarks in reply to a speech of MT. Williams tMiss.) last week on the subject of the tariff. In concluding he WdTIeu HIS sue Ot lHt I1OuSc tfldl tut people would hold the Republican party responsible after the hysteria relative to tariff reform had passed. Most of his Republican colleagues appIauded this sta tefncnt.
 Mir. Griggs (Ga.) who is Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Commit tee. defended at some length the figures of the Democratic campaign book rela- tive to the tariff and trusts.
 Mir. Williams (Miss.) replied to MT. Sibley. He raised a general laugh at MT. Sibey's expense when he attributed the latters skill as debater to his prac- tice in turn in the Populist, Democratic and Republican parties and his alternate support of and opposition to every great political question.
 When the postoffice appropriation bill was read for amendment under the five minute rule MT. Talbert (S. O made a motion to strike out the appropriation (s142.OOo) for special mail facilities be- tween Washington. Atlanta and New Or leans.
 After lively debate which was par ticipated in by MT. Talbert. Mfr. Llvings. ton (Ga). MT. Crumpacke. Gnd0. and Mir Shattuc (Ohio), MT. Talbert's motion was defeated, 73 to S3.
 When the bill was completed and re. ported to the House. MT. Talbert had prepared a motion to recommit the bill with instructions to strike out the pro- visions for special facilities, but Mir. La cey UaD who was In the chair. recog- nized MT. Underwood (Ala.) who made a formal motion to recommit without in- structions with a view to cutting MT Talbert of.
 But MT Talbert oisered his motion as an amendment to that of MT. Underwood and tre chair held that 1t was in order with these motions pending the House, at 5:30 D. m. adjourned.

WILL NOT BACK DOWN
The Allies Feel That They Must Force Concession from
 Venezuela.

London, Feb. 4--It might be fairly said that the allies now feel the absolute ne- cessity of forcing from Venezuela at least some apparent concession.
 Officially 1t Is pointed out that the pow CTS have now conceded everything they are willing to grant, so far as the time, the amount and the method of payments are concerned. The Ministers of the three governments feel they cannot go before their countrymen admitting that they did not even secure separate consideration for their claims.
 Rather than do so Germany Is in fa- vor of letting the whole question go to The Hague court. Great Britain is in- clined to support this determination. feel ing that the outcome at The Hague could not be worse than the effect of a complete backdown at this stage of the proceedings.

class of claims The two governments then replied to MT. Bowen In substance: "six years is rather . long time. but we accept"
 Then they learned that the % per cent was to include the claims of all coun- tries. This Great Britain and Germany. said was not enough. as instead os SIX years it would take twenty years to pay all the claiws.
 It Is also averred here that Mir. Bowen's powers are not as full as desirable. The cooperating powers, standing by their first conditions that the blockade shall not be raised until an adequate guarantee for the payment of the reserve claims is given, have instructed their embassies at Washington to insist upon such an adequate guarantee. Otherwise the blockade will continue for months or for years if this is necessary to perSude President Castro to meet the demands of the allies.
 Some of Minister Bowsn's suggsst3ons are here regarded as bsing almost trivial"

 on New Department.
 Washington, Feb. 1.-The conferees of the Senate and House on the Department of Commerce bill today continued their efforts to reach an agreement on the question as to whether the Interstate Commerce Commission should be includ- ed in the proposed department but ad- journed until Friday without agreeing.
 This is still the only serious obstacle to an agreement, though there has been no formal adjustment of differences a to the trust provision.
 A proposition to accept the Nelson amendment with the following addition. has been made: Tt shall also be the province and duty of said Bureau of Cor porations, under the direction of the Sec- retary of Commerce and Labor, to gath CT, compile. publish and supply useful i'm formation concerning corporations doing business within the limits of the United States which shall engage in interstate commerce or in commerce between the United States and any foreign country. including corporations engaged in insur- ance and to attend to such other duties as may be hereafter provided by law"
 The indications are now that the amendment thus modified will be ao- cepted.

Six Year Priority Feature Q. Agree
 ,msnt Not Rslisvsd.
 Paris, Feb. A-Opinions in oficiai cid cles strongly oppose the latsst position taken up by the allies e outlined here which In effect. 1t is said. give them six years priority.
 There is reason to believe that France of the chief grounds for this disapprovai Is that six years priority. which is the term mentioned here. is regarded as vir- tually establishing . new triple alliance between Great Britain. Germany and It. ally toward South American affaars for six years. Such . long continued co-op- eration of the three European powers In South America is considered here as in- troducing . broad political factor more important than the financial amounts in- volved. tis
 A leading ofIicial of the Foreign OnSce said today that 1t WIS desirable to sec the triple alliance against Venesuela ter minated as soon as possible.
 The French position favors . settlement which will not only cover the money pay ments, but which will also secure the dissolution of the present Anglo-German- Italian alliance.
