WASHINGTON, March 14.-Car-
rying the largest appropriation in its
history. S222,1SO.Ss2. the postofiee
appropriation bill passed the house.
This is $1.425,OOO more than was re-
ported by the committee. Chairman
oyerstreet, when the reading of the
bin had been concluded. waged a
vigorous fight on the proposition to
increase the pay OF the letter car
riers, which was voted into the bill
last Wednesday, but that action was
confirmed, 1876 to 1876.
The first amendment to run sue
cessfully the gauntlet was one by
Mr.. Finley OF South Carolina, In
creasing by 100000 the appropria-
tion for the rural delivery service,
making the total amuont for that
purpose s35,573, 900.
A lengthy discussion followed the
offering by Griggs OF Georgia OF an
amendment providing for a rural
parcels post. The amendment was
ruled out on point of order by MIR.
Overstreet.
Other amendments followed, all
bearing on the rural service These
covered the extension to rural routes
OF the drop-letter provision, waving
the requirement as to gates inclosing
farms; requirement that service on
rural carrier routes be not suspended
on legal holidays; the granting OF
$40 per annum additional to rural
carriers where the route Is more
than "a miles in length. and prohib-
iting rural carriers from delivering
mail on Christmas day, all OF which
went out on points Of order by Mr.,
overstreet.
On an objection by Mr. Moon OF
Tennessee all provisions of the bill
relating to the handling of mail on
board United States vessels by en-
listed men were eliminated.
The reading Of the bin was then
concluded, but a notification by Mr..
oyerstreet that he would ask sep
arate vote on the proposition to raise
the pay OF letter carriers reopened
the whole discussion on that subject.
As the result OF a roll call on the
subject, forced by Mr.. Kaliher OF
Massachusetts,. the vote disclosed
1886 yeas and 1876 nays. The increase
of pay allowed before was confirmed,
The bill then was passed.
Bacon Makes Complaint.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Sena-
tor Bacon OF Georgia in the senate
spoke Of the executive encroach-
ments on the legislative power OF the
government, and read freely from
newspaper reports to show that leg
lslation is being mapped out at the
White House In conferences In which
congressman are not even present.
The bill providing for the ship
ment of material intended for the
Panama canal in American ships
was passed today.

Department Clerks Going Home to
Vote for Republican Candidate.
Henry M. Camp in charge of the inter-
state republican headquarters, makes the
following statement:
'"There will be 400 republican voters
leave Washington for Indiana up to Mon
day, 500 will go to Ohio, between GOO and
700 will go to Illinois, about 100 have al
ready gone to Missouri. 1900 will go to
New York, 900 to points in New England,
300 to Michigan, 1.5OO to Pennsylvania,
800 to New Jersey, 200 to West Virginia.
300 to Iowa, $50 to Kentucky and about
800 to points in Kansas Wisconsin. Min
nesota, Nebraska and Tennessee.
1.-THE railroad offices last evening were
crowded with voters seeking information
in purchasing tickets to their homes. The
interstate republican headquarters has is
sued about 1900 voters certificates alone
and 1t Is estimated that about thirty-flve
chiefs OF departments have issued in the
neighborhood of 5000 altogether. The
wheels of the government will revolve
very slowly from now until after the cleo
ton. as I am advised that SO many have
gone home that 1t has greatly crippled the
service" Mr.. Camp is exceedingly pleased
with the results In having such q large
number go home to exercise the right Of
suffrage. and the principle OF citizenship
displayed Is all that any one would rea-
sonably ask for. The local committee be-
lieved from the start that the proper
manner In which to arouse the state voter
was to appeal to his principle of state
citizenship and have found in following
this course they have met with most graf
flying results.

BRIBE IN ENEMY'S NAME.
So Clever One Won His Case and
Points Moral to Oil Kings Politics.

Two well dressed and apparently well
fed gentlemen were in conversation last
night at q downtown hotel They were
not arguing and II politics was the topic
that held their interest 1t was not doing
much harm, for neither was excited.
The clerk at the news stand between
sales was trying to catch the good things
that dropped from their lips. His eyes
frightened with look of newborn intel
ligence when he overheard the name OF
Rockefeller mentioned.
THAT fellow Rockefeller is a dandy,
one remarked He's done Taft all right. y
Maybe" said a red-nosed member OF
the lobby legislature. as he borrowed

Incidentally read the headlines on the
newspapers ut all reminds me of a
story" he continued.
"A German peasant had a case on trial
before certain judge. After the evil
dence had been heard, he suggested to
his lawyer, I think I will send the judge
little present. fine turkey, or some
thing of that sort
1.-THE lawyer replied, Don't do anything
of the sort. He is touchy, and will
think you are trying to bride him. and
will surely decide the case in Schneider's
favor
"A week later the case was decided In
the PEASANTS favor. He took his lawyer
aside and confidentially told him. sent
that turkey to the judge after ALL. The
lawyer was surprised. and said it was a
wonder that the judge had not decided
the case in Schneider's favor. but the
peasant winked shrewdly and remarked
I sent 1t with Schneider's compliments.

MILK AND CREAM COSTS MORE
NEW SCHEDULE OF PRICES BE.
COMES EFFECTIVE TODAY.
Wholesale and Retail Dealers Asso.
citation Adopts New Schedule
of Rates-The Reason.

The price of milk and cream in the
District has been advanced
Beginning this morning a new schedule
of prices for the tactical fluid goes into eff
fect-a straight increase of one cent on
milk served in quantities of one quart or
less
The advance was ordered by the Whole
sale and Retail Milk Dealers Association
of the District of Columbia. Virginia and
Maryland. with headquarters in this city,
the decision having been reached at the
last business meeting of the organization.
George B. Farquhar president of the
milk dealers society, said last night that
the schedule as adopted is as follows:
Milk advanced from to cents a
quart. and from to 8 cents a pint
cream advanced from IA to Is cents a
pint. and from to cents a half pint.
When Mr.. Farquhar was asked as to
the cause Of the increase in the price OF
milk and cream he said a similar ad-
vance was made one year ago, and the
cause that brought it about at that time
is the same that operates now.
Greater Cost of Production.
1T is due" he explained, ito the
o. NeisSA SoSl VI lot the
cattle and the new sanitary require
ments of the health department being the
principal items. The price of feed has
advanced and grazing is practically over
hence until next spring the cows will
have to be fed on dry stuff In the staoes
and barnyards."
President Farquhar also said the adj
vanced prices will probably remain in
effect about six months.
The action of the Milk Dealers Asso-
citation is not unanimous, 1t is said.
There are some milk dealers, not mem
bers of the organization, who did not
participate In the action advancing the
price.
But We don't believe they can sell at
present rates and make living profit. +"
Mr.. Farquhar remarked. They will un-
doubleday charge the greater price. It is
a question of getting a living profit for
our wares. and the others will undoubt-
edly fall in line
