Republican Party Stands
 Against an Inquiry.
Williams of Mississippi Makes Ap- peal to the House to 0verrule the Chair, But Cannot Muster
 Enough Votes.

Washington, March A.-The House of Representatives today again put itself on record against any investigation of the Postoffice Department. Eight pages of the postoffice appropriation bill were disposed of.
 The question of an investigation of the Postofice Department was brought up bJ MT. Williams, the minority leader, who proposed an amendment providing foI a seleNt committee composed of five members the House and three Sena- tors to nl Ike a complete investigation into the aheged frauds in that Depart bent.
 He taunted the Republicans for their failure to order an investigation and said the party was opposed to 1t. The chair sustained a point of order by MT. Over street against the amendment and when MT. Williams appealed the chair was sus- tained, 133 to g9.
 Consideration of the postoffice appro- pr;ation bill was resumed at the open iIix of the session. MT. Robinson un1) attacked the appropriation for $45,OO for carrying the mails from San Francisco t1 the island of Tahiti and offered an amendment to strike 1t from the bill.
  and said the item had been inserted by fine Italian hand undisclosed.'
 No one knew of its birth, he said' which led him to believe this appro- priation has been sneaked through Con- gress in a cowardly manner.
 Pinhead in Pacific.
 The island Of Tahiti, he asserted, stood like a pinhead in the Pacific.
 MT. Overstreet, Chairman of the Post office Committee declared that the item was not strange, and that the trade of Tahiti and nearby islands justified the appropriation. The amendment was agreed to and the provision was stricken from. the bill.
 MT. Scott UIas.) criticised the Post office Department for its ''pernicious pol icy of paternalism' in permitting coll tractors furnishing stamped envelopes anI newspaper wrappers to print the names of individual firms and corpora tions on the return" cards on stamped envelopes. He offered an amendment to correct what he termed the abuse. A point of order against 1t was sustained. With the view of securing a complete investigation of the Postoffice Depart ment, MT. Williams Miss, the minor t.y leader, offered an amendment to the bill providing for the appointment of d jcint select committee of eight, five mem bers of the House and three Senators, ito exercise all functions necessary to a complete investigation of all frauds and Irregularities alleged to exist in said De- partment.
 MT. Overstreet promptly made the point of order that the amendment was not germane and was new legislation. which the chair sustained.
 Mir. Williams appealed to MT Over street to withdraw his point of order. which MT. Overstreet refused to do.

the arrival of the firemen.
 The store is kept open all night and the fire was discovered quickly after it's origin by one of the clerks in the store who sent in the alarm from Box I2. cor ner of Commerce and Bibb streets. As soon as the firemen arrived. a stream of water was put on the fire. The blass, was extinguished in about five minutes by the firemen.
 On account of the character of the stock, the loss is hard to estimate. Mir. Pennacchio said yesterday that he could not make any estimate of his loss. though he thought 1t was fully covered by insurance, which Is S2,500.
 The building Is owned by D. P. West. and is insured.

Schedule Changes Rumored.

Rumors as to changes in schedules on the Southern Railway and the West Point route continue to be plentiful, but SD far as can be learned there is no authority for any of them. Southern passenger train No. 20, from Meridian to Birmingham, arrives in Selma at $40 p. m.. one hour and forty minutes after the departure of the West Point routes passenger for Montgomery, and 1t Is said that the West Point officials would be willing to hold their train here half an hour longer to make the connection. But the connections made at Meridian by No. 20 preclude the possibility of radical change in Its schedule, and it is said that changes would arfect the lines as far west as Shreveport and 1t is a question if the Southern would consent to a change which would deprive 1t of traffic between Selma and Atlanta which now goes over the southern's lines via Birm- iEgham. If No. should connect with the Western here, 1t Is probable that the West Point route would secure much If not all of this patronage.
