CONGRESSIONAL

The Culberson amendment to the
postofice appropriation bill, providing
for commission to investigate the Post
office Department, was before the Senate
Yesterday, and after being ruled out OF
order in modified form was pending
when the Senate adjourned. Mr.. Cor
man made an earnest plea for an inyes-
tieation, saying the Postoffice Depart
ment had cast reflections upon members
OF Congress, and that thorough exam
ination should be had. Mr. Aldrich
answered that the amendment as finally
modified meant nothing; that if an in
vestigation was to be had, it should be
ia live one." He said that if any
specific charges we're brought in, they
should be looked into by Congress, but
that the demand should not be made a
part of a general appropriation bill.
The House passed the bill reported by
the committee on rivers and harbors,
appropriating So, 900, 900 for the restora-
ton or maintenance of channels, or of
other river and harbor improvements.

The republican State convention met in

the republican national convention at
Chicago and instruct them to work for
the nomination of Roosevelt for Presi-
dent. The delegates followed without a
hitch the programme drawn up by Gov.
Odell, who made his first appearance in
convention as State "boss." Senator
Plat as the i1eader emeritus" sat with
the delegation from Tioga and for the
first time in fifteen years his fine politi-
cal hand indexed no move to be made.
The platform, as written, contains a
plank indorsing President Roosevelt and
his administration, with special reference
to the Panama canal, and the admins
tration of Cuban affairs The tariff
question is only briefly touched on and
is of the 'stand pat'' order and there

Race Troubles in Texas.

News from Waller county, Texas, 60
miles north of Houston, indicates that
race feeling is very high, owing to the
murder, near Hampstead, of Tucker
Pinckney, brother of former Congress
man John NJ. Pinckney, Of the Houston
district. 1t appears that Pinckney and
companion were riding by negro
church when they we're fred upon.
While the dead mans body lay in front
of the church, negro with a shotgun
rode by and informed the crowd that he
did the shooting, after which he disap-
peared. The negro had finger shot
off, which indicates that Pinckney and
his companion returned the fire. George
GOss was with Pinckney when he was
killed. Goss says they were hunting
cattle, and rode to negro church for
drink of water, when they were fired
upon by the negroes, who were conceal
ed behind the door. Seven revolver
shots entered Pinckney's body, and
death was instantaneous. Goss said he
has had trouble with negroes and thinks
they mistook the dead man for him.
Over one hundred armed whites are in
the field after the negroes. The dead
man was one of the leading planters and
stock men of that section.
