TO PASS SENATE
THIS SESSION
Postal Bank Bill Will Be Pressed and
All Financial Bills Are
Settled.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The postal
savings bank bill, after having been
opposed for many weeks, although it
has been the unfinished business of
the senate, may yet be passed at the
present session. The unexpected pro-
gress which was made with appropri-
alton bills will give Senator Carter
opportunity to again press the postal
savings bank measure, and it is said
that with a number of amendments
that 1t could be put in shape where
1t would be acceptable to the senate.
In the short time that remains of
present session 1t Is not thought pos
sible to get the bill toward the house,
but 1t is argued that passage 10y the
senate would be an important step
toward redeeming the promise made
by the Republican national commit
tee to enact the legislation.
There is no chance at the present
session, according to a conclusion
reached by Senator Flint, for the
passage Of the bill to reimburse E
H. Hartman for 100000 expended
under his direction by the Southern
Pacific railroad to control the over
flow waters of the Salton sea. Pres
ident Roosevelt has been anxious that
the obligation be discharged. as Mr..
Hartman repaired the damage when
there was no appropriation under
which the government could do the
work.
Consideration of the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill wrs begun
in the house of representatives. The
bill carries total appropriation Of
$3,592,73S. Mr.. Cousins Qa.), chair
man Of the committee on foreign af-
fairs. explained the provisions of the
bill.
