HOUSE WINS ON
MAIL SUBSIDIES
Provisions Put Out of the
POStOffiCe Bill by Action
of the Senate.

Washington, May eeS.--The house again
today wrestled with the subject of mail
subsidies to steamship companies and
once more recorded itself against the pro-
position by the vote of AS to 154. The
debate ran we'll into the night
Having been Overwhelmingly defeated
yesterday the conferees on the postoffice
appropriation bill today came into the
house with a new report, agreeing with
the senate on everything except the sub
sidy provision and that relating to the
system for weighing the mails. The por-
ton of the report on which there was no
dispute was adopted unanimously under
an agreement TO extend the time of de-
bate on the subsidy question.
The senate amendment changing the
standard of Weighing the mails by reduc-
ing the number Of days which the weigh
ing should be conducted was showed I'M
der. "a to 1856
BY reason of the action OF the house in
rejecting these amendments the bill again
went back to conference for the third
time although the senate already had
agreed TO the report.
As soon as the action of the house was
announced in the senate Senator Penrose
moved TO recede from the remaining SEN
ate amendments and discharge the con-
ferees. The motion was carried and the
congressional work on the postoffice bill
was thus completed. The effect is 10
leave the mail subsidy provision out of
the bill and thus effectually dispose of II
for the present session.

the idea that no bills should be passed

in the house and result in further de-
lay IA final adjournment. Before the
senate convened and after a confer
ence with other principal leaders in
the senate, Senator Aidrich visited the
house and Informed the leaders there
that the senate was ready to adjourn
as soon as disposition should be made
of the conference reports on supply
bills. He suggested, therefore, that if
the house was not ready the senate
could adjourn after the morning bus
mess until Monday.
