House Gives Close Attention
to the Discussion.
FORTIFICATIONS BILL
PARTIAL AGREEMENT REACHED
BY THE TWO HOUSES.
Senate Resolves to Insist Upon Its
Amendments to the Army APP
preparation Bill.

Before proceeding with the post Office APP
preparation BILL which has the right of way,
the House today took up several matters
of routine character, among them being
the appointment of Edwin P. Hammond Of
Indiana as a member of the board of man
ayers for the National Soldiers Home at
Marion, Ind.
The House adopted the conference report
on the Notifications BILL which was only a
partial agreement, as the Senate amend
ment requiring detailed estimates was still
in dispute. A further conference was or
dered. The bill carries $6,747 1893.
Consideration of the post Office appropria-
ton bill then was resumed
After Mr.. Goulden On. " had favored
material increases in the salaries Of letter
carriers, postal affairs were for a time side
tracked while Messrs. Shirley Ry.) and
Sibley (Pa.) spoke on the question involved
in freight rate legislation. That this sub
ject Is of absorbing interest in the House
was evidenced by the close attention given
to its discussion and by the numerous in
terrogations coming from both sides Of the
chamber, designed to elucidate some par
ticular feature of proposed rate legislation
not yet before the House.
In closing his remarks, Mr.. Sibley, re-
plying to a question by Mr.. James .(ky.),
expressed 1t as his belief that in the matter
of legislation to restrict the carriers Presi-
dent Roosevelt was animated by a sincere
desire for justice.
Mr.. Baker On. ". discussing the rate
question. attacked Secretary of the Navy
Morton. who. he said. was a self-confessed
v1olator of the law. 1--WE are told there
should be square DEAL he said in sar-
casm. but he alleged that the cards were
stacked ''in the interest of the men that
control the great railroads of the country"
Incidentally Mr.. Baker declared that 1.-The
innocence of the members of the House re-
garding restricting the railroads is ac-
counted for by the little card cases in their
pockets"
