p0STOFFICE FRAUDS.

Postofiice frauds were under discussion
in the Senate yesterday, the subject be-
ing opened in set speech by MIR. Sim
mons, of North Carolina, who insisted
there should be an investigation by the
Senate into the charges. Mr.. Platt OF
Connecticut, denied that the republicans
were trying to cover up any wrong dong
in the POstofiice Department, and sald
they were simply contending that the
postoffice committee should ascertain
what was to be investigated. The dis
cussion was participated in by Senators
Burrows, Dollive and Quarles on the
republican side, and Senators Carmack;
Tillman and Teller on the democratic
side. The republican contention was
that there had been thorough investi-
CATION by the Postofice Department, and
that Senate investigation was now be-
ing pressed by the democrats for partisan
purposes. The democrats insisted that
they wanted the facts, and charged that
the republicans we're trying to smother
them. Perry S. Heath was bitterly
assailed, and former Postmaster General
Smith was criticised by democratic Sena'
tors. There were several interesting
colloquies during the day between Sena-
tors Deliver aad Tillman.

THE PANAMA MINISTER In an exec.

THEPANAMA MINISTER In an exec
utiye session Of the Senate yesterday the
nomination Of w. /. Buchanan to be
Minister 70 Panama was discussed for
more than two hours, the debate being
confined almost entirely to the coustitu-
tional right of the President to appoint
Minister to the new republic without
the cooperation of the Senate. The
point was raised by the democrats that
the position to which Mr.. Buchanan was
nominated was not in existence when
the appointment was made, and that the
President had no right to create the posi-
ton except with the consent OF the Sem
ate. The democrats who supported this
position were Senators Morgan, Bacon,
Bailey, Pettus, and Blackburn. Repub-
lican Senators almost unanimously sup
ported the action of the President. No
decision was reached. Senators Bacon and
Bailey in their speechis argued that the
President either usurped the functions
of the Senate by dispatching Minister
to Panama, whose nomination had not
been confirmed, or had sent Mr.. Bu'
chanan there as an envoy, or commits
sioner without color OF law. They held
that as the Senate isin session, the Presi-
dent lawfully could not send Minister
to foreign country without the advice
and consent Of the Senate,

THE CHICAGO business womens' club
has organized a dancing class. Only
Young business women are invited. The
club proposes at the threshold OF leap
wear to teach its members how to dance
in fashion which will preclude the
necessity of men. 1t is claimed that no
dance is esthetic in which the young
womeus' waists must be belted by the
masculine arms. No round dance is
esthetic for they all develop the physiqde
more than the grace of the dancers.
The esthetic dance is quiet, graceful,
soulful. The esthetic dance is intended
TO develope the natural grace of young
women. 1t is safe to say that this club
will not be in existence this time next
year unless the rules are changed and
young men, business or otherwise, are
admitted to membership.
