HOUSE GIVES GREAT MAJORITY
FOR ANOTHER ADMiNisTRA-
TIoN MEASURE.
No Republicans Vote With Minority
on Final Passage Money Accumu-
lated to Be Deposited in Banks and
Will Draw Interest at Rate Of 2A
Per cent-covernment Bonds in
Small Denominations.

washington, ID. G., June 11.-By the
overwhelming majority of 1876 to 1O1,
the house passed the postal savings
bill, as recently agreed upon by the
Republican caucus of the house. Not
a single Republican voted against the
measure on the final roll call.
Prior to this action the house. by
113 to 1876, rejected the Democratic
substitute for the bill proposed by the
majority.
The, vote upon the several motions
involved in the disposition of the meas
ure followed six hours of debate. in
which many Republicans and Demo
Gratis recorded their views upon the
bill of the majority and the substitute
supported by a large portion of the mi
nority.
Democrats Disagree.
The large detection among the Dem
ocrats was shown when the Dem
ocratic senate bill was voted upon,
twenty-one of them joining the Repub-
licans in voting against the measure.
Most of these were opposed to pos
tai savings bank system of any kind.
Terms Of Bill.
Under the terms of the bill board
of trustees is created, consisting of the
postmaster general, the secretary of
the treasury and the attorney general,
who shall declare what postofices shall
become postal savings banks.
Deposits in these banks made by any
one person shall not be more than
500 a month or exceed a total of $500.
The account may lie opened with 81,
but stamps of 10 cents each will be
issued for those desiring to accumu-
late money to be deposited. On depos-
it's per cent interest is to be paid.
Bonds for Public.
Any depositor SO desiring can ex-
change his deposits for government
bonds to be issued in denominations
Of $40, $40, $50, $50, 500 or $500, to
bear interest at 21h per cent.
The money accumulated in the pos
tai savings bank is to be deposited in
both national and state banks in the
vicinity of postofices in which the
money is deposited by the people, such
banks to pay ~ per cent interest.
Five per cent Of the total deposits
is to be retained by the secretary of
the treasury as cash reserve.
Not more than 80 per cent of these
deposits may be withdrawn by the
government at any one time for invest
ment in bonds of the United States.
the remaining IS per cent to remain
on deposit in the banks.
Banks Must Secure Funds.
The banks are required to give as
security for the deposits they receive
public bonds or other security sup
ported by the taxing power" which re-
tricts the securities to some form of
national, state, municipal or other such
bonds approved by the board of trus-
tees in charge of the postal savings
banks.
The bill passed by the house as a
substitute for the senate bill differs
from the senate measure in many par
ticulars, chiefly in respect of the ma.
ture of securities that may be given
by banks for deposits of postal savings
funds.
In addition to the government, state
and municipal bonds. various other
classes Of securities, such as mort
gapaa. etc. NAV be received.

Miss Bette Van Lew, who was gem
orally regarded as Yankee spy. ana
1T was at this house that the Northern
soldiers who escaped from Libby Pris-
on took refuge.
1t was generally believed that Pres
ident jefferson Davis put forth many
efforts to catch Miss Van Lew, and
President Grant has been quoted as
giving her part of the credit for his
entry into Richmond. If this be true
he remembered the occasion. for upon
his Inauguration he appointed her
postmaster of Richmond.
/ was a characteristic of Miss Van
Lew that she protested against taxa
ton without representation. In this
respect she was perhaps one OF the
original suffragettes Of this city.
Every year, when she paid her taxes
she filed protest against being forced
to do so without having voice In the
