Washington, April 19.-After spend
ing much time in useless debate and
wrangling, the house took up the post
office appropriation bill.
The bill was finally perfected at $40
o'clock, when Moon, OF Tennessee, en-
tered motion to recommit to the post
Office committee with instructions to
report the bill to the house immedi-
ately with the Southern railway mail
subsidy stricken out. On this motion
Crmpacker, of Indiana, demanded a
rollcall, which was ordered. Moons
motion was lost, SO to SO. This re-
tanned the subsidy in the bill, and
without further objection the bill was
passed.

appropriating s400, 600 to continue
work on the jetty at the mouth OF the
Columbia river In accordance with
his promise, Speaker Cannon this after

Washington, April Is. - Owing to
the fact that none of its members we're
prepared to speak on the railroad rate
bill, that measure was temporarily laid
aside today in the senate, permitting
the devotion of the entire time to the
consideration of other bills on the cal
endar. OF these more than 800 were
passed, most of them being private PEN
sion bills.
Among the general bills passed was
one increasing the pensions OF ex-
soldiers who lost limbs in the service;
another retiring and pensioning petty
officers and men of the army, navy and
marine corps after 80 years of service
at three-fourths their regular pay; and
third bill increasing the pensions OF
ex-Mexican war soldiers to $40 per
month and making the attainment OF

French Woman Who Had Singular
Reason for Picking Of

In Paris, the police have discovered
q woman whose peculiar sort of pat
triotism has been compared to that OF
Boule de Sulf In Guy de Maupassant's
story. She was arrested recently for
having robbed . German merchant Of
sSs. To the magistrate she made a
strange declaration. She said that he:
main object In life was to decoy Ger
mans and to rob them. She went
about with them to cafes and music
halls. and while affecting to be very
much interested In them she picked
their pockets. In this way she had
annexed for several years past over
e7oo. She had picked the pockets OF
exactly 81 Germans. and she was proud
Of It. As her reason for thus acting tho
woman said that in 1870 her family In
Normandy had been completely ruined
by German invaders. who stole her
fathers cattle, pigs, fowls and even
plate. She was then obliged to go out
a. q dairymaid, but not being accus-
toned to servitude she came to Paris.
and began waylaying and robbing Ger
mans. The magistrate listened to this
tale calmly. 1t made no impression on
him, for he sent the new Boule de suit
back to the depot, there to await trial.
