PENRosE POSTAL RESOLUTION.
Discussion of It's Status in the
Senate.

The developments in the Senate today
make it uncertain when the resolution by
Mr. Penrose for an investigation of the
Post Office Department will come up for
further consideration. Immediately after
the routine morning business Senator Cor
man. following Senator Cullom. who had
suggested that the time had arrived to take
up the Cuban bill. said that there was an
understanding yesterday to the effect that
the postal investigation resolution should
be considered until / o'clock.
Mr. German read from the Record which
showed that he had made that request. but
did not indicate that it had become an I'M
Outstanding of the Senate. Senators Gull
lom. Aldrich, Spooner and others combated
the idea that any business was IN order ex-
cept the Cuban bill and until that bill was
disposed of or until the time came when
no senator wished to speak on it.
The result of this discussion was that the
matter went over without any definite idea
as to when it shall be taken up. Under the
present condition the Penrose resolution Is
on par with other bills and resolutions on
the calendar, and when it does not inter
fere with the Cuban bill, or after that
measure has been disposed of, 1t may be
taken up by unanimous consent.
In response to the resolution calling for
the papers in the post office investigation
agreed to by the House at the instance of
Mr. Overstreet yesterday, the committee
expects to receive this week the full Bris-
tow report. comprising 10000 words This
report will be perused by the committee be-
fore officials of the department are called

ings will begin after the holiday recess,
