May, 1907, contrived to exist, with a

it would be serviceable as an emergency
measure. Senator Paynter of Kentucky
opposed the bill Referring to Senator

State condemned such lawlessness and
denounced the tobacco trust. The post
office appropriation bill had rough sailing

extensions of such service should not be

be made wherever the Postmaster General

A message from the Presidents and re-
ports from the committee on military af-
fairs on the Brownsville affray consumed
the time of the Senate during the early
part of the session Wednesday. A brief
debate brought out statement by Sena-
tor Warren, chairman of the committee
on military affairs. that a bill will soon
be introduced for the reinstatement of the
discharged colored soldiers of the Twen-
ty-ffth Regiment under certain condi-
tons. The Aldrich bill was discussed by
Senator Clarke of Arkansas, who declared
that he would vote for neither the Aldrich
nor the Bailey substitute. After the pas
sage of several bills on the calendar the
Senate adjourned. Persistent assaults on
the postOffice appropriation bill in thu
House resulted in the application OF
that measure in many important parts
despite the protests of Chairman Over
street and the committee. The letter car
riers finally won their fight for 81 200
salaries The House also allowed an adj
ditional $4,000 for clerks in third class
offices and $1,000 additional for con-
tract stations. There were incorporated
in the bill a provision prohibiting the
transmission through the mails of intoxi-
eating liquors, which was later modified
to include cocaine and its derivatives AL
together the appropriations carried by the
bill were increased $1,225,000.
