PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE.
Postofice Appropriation Bill Considered-A
Tariff Debate.

Washington Feb 4-The general debate the
Postoffice Appropriation bill in the House was en-
ivened by an interesting discussion of the tariff
question. in which Mr.. Sibley (Rep. PENN; Mr..
Williams Dem. .-.ssl. and Mr.. Griggs (Dem.. Ga)
took part.
Mr. Sibley attracted much attention by his re-
marks in reply to a speech made by Mr. Williams
last week In closing, he warned his side Of the
House that the people would hold the Republican
party responsible after the hysteria relative to
tariff reform had passed. Most of his Republican
colleagues applauded this statement.
Mr.. Perkins. Of NewYork. spoke If favor Of
placing beef and hides the free list.
Mr.. Griggs. who was chairman of the Demo-
cratic Congressional. Campaign Committee, de-
Tended the figures of the Democratic campaign
book relative to the tariff and trusts
Mr. Williams replied to Mr.. SibIey. He raised
general laugh Mr.. Sibley's expense, when he
attributed the latter's skill a debater to his
practice in in the Popuist, Democratic and
Republican parties and his alternate support Of
and opposition to every great political question

its phenomenal growth in recent years He eN-

the pending measure. He to retire from Con
gress March T. he said. and it was the last time
he should address the House the subject of
postofice legislation Therefore he desired TO warn
those who to follow him of the insldous
methods employed TO increase the expenses OF
the postal service. The bills to classify postofce
clerks and letter carriers he SAID. were in reality
bills TO increase the salaries of clerks and car
riers If those bills were taken UP he hoped
that the clauses providing for compulsory promo
ton would be stricken out He expressed regret
that the rural free delivery service had not been
placed under the contract system The service.

TBr TELEsnArH no rnn rnIBryK.I

Washington. Feb 4-Senator Hanna created
something OF a sensation to-day when ne IL
troduced bill providing for the pensioniils OF
ex-saves According to the provisions OF the
bill, ex-salves to receive pensions beginning
at 81 month for those under nfty years Vi

sixty, and SIS when they shall have reached

nifty years old and shall receive In aool-
ton to the pension bounty OF s1oo those
sixty years old and over $500, and those seventy
years old and over $500.
Many rumors were set afioat by the intro
duction of the bill, and 1t was alleged that it
was for the purpose Of affecting the colored
vote and as an Offset to the offices which the
President has bestowed coIOred men. Viewed
In this light IL was regarded a virtual

Senator Hanna told The Tribune correspondent
that he knew nothing about the bill. and had
paid little attention to its provisions 1t having
been introduced by request
Further investigation revealed the fact that
the measure was analogous to one introduced

DIR. BOWEN CRITICISED.
Germany Complains Of Munster S
I4fftnde.

Berlin Feb 4-Some disappointment is iei'
by the German Foreign Office officials at MINIS
ter Bowen's attitude in his conferences "I'h 'n'
ambassadors at Washington. Mr.. Bowen 1t Is
said here impresses the representatives OF t"e
allies as allowing his fighting spirit TO oNerpe''
his desire for a quick settlement HIS oe-
rneanor at the conferences is described as tiiat
Of an advocate defending an innocent perse-
cuted client. Besides the Foreign Office re-
CARDS Mr. Bowen's first proposition as having
been changed after it was accepted. and it is
held that il was not clearly stated, ana Tor mat
reason was misunderstood. The British ana
German governments thought Mr.. Bowen pro-
posed setting apart 80 per cent of the customs
of La C;uavra and Porto Cabello for the lqui--
dation of their claims alone. and so accepted
it Professionally. Later, upon figuring on the
future receipts on the basis of receipts IN the
past it was estimated that it would take SIX
years to pay the first class of claims. The TWO
governments then replied 10 Mr. Bowen. in sub
stance: six years is rather a long time, but we
accept" They then learned that the 40 per
cent was to include the claims of all countries.
This Great Britain and Germany said was not
enough as, instead of six years, 1t would take
twenty years to pay all the claims
1t is also averred here that Mr.. Bowers pow
ers are not so full as desirable.
The cooperating powers. standing by their
first condition that the blockade shall not be
raised until an adequate guarantee for the
payment of the reserved claims is given, have
instructed their embassies at Washington to
insist upon such an adequate guarantee. Other
wise the blockade viii continue for months, or
for years, if this is necessary TO persuade Presi-
dent Castro to meet the demands Of the allies.
Some of Minister Bowens suggestions are here
regarded being almost trivial" The view is
held in Berlin that he does not realize that the
cooperating powers i'm earnest in that they
can not and win not depart from the only stipu
lation which they made precedent to arbitration
Germany for the present takes second place in
the deliberations at Washington, the British

MORE INCLINED TOWARD THE HAGUE.
Conference in London OVer~the Venezuelan
Situation.

London, Feb 4.-The officials Of the German
Embassy and of the Foreign Office here were
comforting this afternoon the terms of the
answer which should be returned to Minister
Bowens refusal to grant preferential treatment
to the claims of the allies. The negotiations
have now reached point where small mat
ter viii be sufficient TO determine whether the
case can be settled at Washington or must go
10 The Hague Court Of Arbitration. II might
be fairly said that the allies now feel the abso-
lutte necessity of forcing from Venezuela at
least some apparent concession Officially il is
pointed out that the powers have now conceded
everything they are willing 70 grant so far as
the time, the amount and the method of pay
ments 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 90 Germany is in favor of letting
the whole question go to The Hague court.
Great Britain is inclined to support this deter
mination, feeling that the outcome at The Hague
could not be worse than the effect Of a complete
backdown at this stage of the proceedings.
