FIGHT POSTAL BANK BILL.
Senate Leaders Hope to Displdce 1t
scith Brownsville Resolution.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington Jan. Pa determined effort VIII be
made probably tomorrow, to displace the postal
savings bank bill. now the unfinished business
in the Senate, with the Brownsville resolution The
Senate leaders are behind the movement and are
actuated by two reasons-frst they are opposed TO
the passage of the postal bank bill, and do not
want to be compelled to commit themselves by an
ave and no vote the measure Secondly, they
have listened to the plea Of Senator Foraker who
has begged that the Brownsville resolution be al
lowed TO come a vote before his term expires
The leaders believe that they can formulate
brownsville resolution which Will command the
support of all elements and that the subject can
thus be finally disposed Of.
Senator Carter who is in charge of the postal
bank bill is determined that II shall not be dis
placed. and he energetcaily engaged this
evening in rallying his forces with view to pre-
venting its displacement. Mr.. Carter expects to
return the normal strength of the advocates Of the
postal bill, also to have the support OF a num-
Der of Senators who are determined that no
Brownsville measure containing anything Of a com
pulsory shall pass
MI Carter pressed for vote on the postal bank
bill in the Senate to-day, but without success
He was effectively opposed by Senator Hepburn,
OF Idaho who is understood TO have been selected
by the managers Of the upper house 10 oppose the
measure Senator cuinulins expects 10 speak In
support of his amendment tomorrow, and MI Car
ter will keep Up the fight long as there is the
the support of the Senator from Iowa, although he
will oppose the Cummins amendment, which pro-
vides that the funds deposited by the Postmaster
General shall not constitute lien on the assets Of
the depostaries 1t is probable that in place of that
amendment Mr.. Carter Will accept the Smith
amendment which provides that banks which re-
ceve federal deposits Of this character shall put up
collateral.
1t is asserted by certain members Of the Com
mittee Military Affairs that no Brownsville reso-
luton which in any way detracts from the author
iy of the President permit reeniistment only OF
those soldiers of whose innocence he is satisfied
pass that if the opposition is prepared, as
seems proba bic, to permit the passage OF such
resolution the subject will fail to carry out the
purpose of the leaders, who wish it to act as a
stop-gap prevent the consideration Of any other
legislation for the remainder OF the session.
An amendment made TO the postal bill to-day
limiting to $50 the amount of the deposits of any
person and fixing the rate of interest to be PAID
at 2 per cent. with the understanding that the
amendment would be subject TO further change by
the Senate.
The urgent deficiency bill was passed.
