Members OF Congress who favor the
appropriation in the postoflce bill for
a fast mail service through the South

this afternoon when by corrections OF
the Journal the majority OF three by
which the appropriation was passed was
cut down to one. after the journal was
finally corrected the vote on the fast
mail proposition stood 81 for and se
against
AS soon as the Journal was read Mr..
Stevens said that he was recorded as
voting in favor Of the appropriate On.
when as a matter Of fact he was not
in the House at the time tht vote was
taken Mr. Steenerson OF Minnesota
said he noticed that Mr.. Hedge was re-
corded as voting In favor OF the appro-

had not been In the House when the
vote was taken
At this point friends Of the appropria-

RETIRED VOLUNTEER
PLAN IN BALANCE
Will Hardly Be Adopted by
This Congress.
TO COST THREE MILLION
Senate Military Committee Has Already
Reported Adversely Upon the
Nelson Proposition.

Apparently the proposition for Great
Ing volunteer retired list for surviving
officers of the civil war is destined to
, be shelved for this session of Congress.
1t would cost the Government from $S.-
100000 up, according to the number Of
grades that were included in the eligible
list. to meet the payments each year.
While the proposition has not yet
been taken up by the House Committee
on Military Affairs, Chairman Hull has
decided to have it given a full hearing
within the next fortnight, and the COM
mittee is expected TO make rather a
complete report, discussing the proposal
In all its phases. Meantime the Senate
Military Committee has decided ad-
versely to the measure for this session
What Bill Means.
The proposal. backed by the surviving
civil war officers, is that everybody who
attained the rank of major or brigadier
general, by brevet or otherwise, for ser
vices during the civil war, shall be
eligible to retirement at three-fourths
the pay OF captain. Now. at the close
of the war about everybody OF the
grade of captain or higher was brevetted
a brigadier, and these would therefore
be entitled to the retirement pay.
One of the grounds for objection Is
that heutenantS would be excluded by
SUCH an act, yet below the grade of col
onel the rank "a the close OF the wal
was largely a matter OF chance. The
lucky man whose superiorS were ad-
Vanced or disabled, was pushed alone
and secured good rank, while the less
fortunate. perhaps doing just as good
service, had not attained nearly so high
rank when the war ended. Therefore, ii
the plan is ever put into effect, Il will
doubtless be broadened to include all
commissioned officers. This would add
largely to its expense. ana postpone the
day OF its adoption.
Senator Nelson's bill provides that re-
tirement shall not take place before the
age Of seventy; that no officer who
served after the war in the regular army
shall be eligible. and that an officer VINO
lost an arm. leg. or both eyes shall %
eligible to retirement without reference

others must have served at least tvs

MITCHELL OPENS WAY
TO END COAL STRIKE

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE frank ex-
preston of John Mitchell that he has
hopes that the final reply of the oper-
ators 10 the miners latest proposals for
arbitration is taken generally TO mean
that the miners ccale committee would
gladly accept even the slightest con-
cession in order to avoid a strike.
II was said today that Mr.. Mitchell 8
cheerful utteranceS could only be con-
strued as a delicate suggestion that IL
the operators would concede something
the miners would accept. The view was
further expressed that if. in view of
Mitchelrs statements. the operators still
declined to change their last PROPOSE
ton. IL would be because they desired
TO force strike in order to smash the
union and sell the surplus tonnage Of
coal now mined.
Information obtained from several
sources today indicates that the oper-
stors will absolutely decline to make a
further concession. Mr.. Mitchell leaves
today for Indianapolis.
