ton by the department had been par
tisan in character and said that coun-
ter charges had been made against the

vestigation Of the Post Office Depart
ment. It was explained By Mr.. Over
street, chairman of the committee, that
the purpose of the resolution was to
supply the committee with information
essential to proper consideration of
appropriation bills. The minority
made an unsuccessful effort to amend
the resolution so as to provide that
the House request the Postmaster Gen
eral for papers and evidence touching
on the investigation. The House also
instructed the Judiciary Committee
to make inquiry and report whether
the Isle of Pines can be ceded to Cuba
