He would hate to believe that Mr.. Cor

He wanted to get away not only be-

washington, April 9.-In the senate to-
day Mr. Spooner replied to the democratic
strictures on the conduct of the postof-
nee department, and also traversed quite
an extensive political field. He defended
the course of the postmaster general Ill
connection with the irregularities OF his
department and charged the effort on the
part of the democratic senators to secure
a congressional inquiry in the interest OF
party politics.
No progress was made on the postoffice
bill. The confer renee report on the Indian
bill was partially read, but further con-
alteration was postponed on the sugges-
ton that the conferees had inserted provi~
sions that had not been passed on by
either house.
When consideration of the postoffce
bill was resumed Mr.. Spooner addressed
the senate. He expressed the opinion
that much had been said concerning the
postoffice appropriation for partisan pur-
poses and expressed surprise that Mr..
simmons. for instance, should have said
that the proposed inquiry was reluctant
