ton bill carrying about s257.0o0, 900
this afternoon. with no votes in the

The Post-ohice Committee of the
House. the Postmaste G General and
Others higher up including by in
ference the President OF the United
States came in for another scoring at
the hands OF members of the House to-
day during the considera ton Of the
bill.
The debate to-day reached IS height
when Representative Sisson, of Missis-
sippi. declared with vigor:
The mail service all over the United
States is in h of a fix. to use
strong expression. And this House
should fix the responsibility where it
belongs. Some say it is the commit
tee; some say 1t is the department,
and some say It is the President. The
department has declined to spend the
money appropriated for additional
rural free delivery routes, and is go
ing TO turn back surplus of S1,7oo,-
900 from this service"
AS soon as the rural free delivery
service paragraph was reached in the
bill amendments to increase the pay
of the rural carriers from 5000 a year,
; all the way to $1,000 We're offered.

led the fusilade OF criticism by offer
an amendment to give the carriers
$1,000 Il year.

responsibility lay. Mr. Byrns. Of
Tennessee. blamed the Post-OHce De-
| partment. and men higher up" for
conditions in the postal service.
Mr.. Edwards, Of Georgia. asserted
/! that the present administration was
! no friend Of the rural service
/ Mr.. Adamson, of Georgia, declared
the rural carriers were actually be-
ing robbed by the government
| Chairman Weeks declared that the
! reason the rural service had not been
] extended during the past year was on
account Of the precarious sondition Of
the Treasury. Tie added. however, tina
| the committee was not willing to grant
! carriers the 500 increase in salary.
| The House then passed with a whoop
| an amendment providing that after July

former United States Senator and
Democratic leader Of New Jersey, who
has been contcsting With Mr.. MARITIME
for the honor OF election. released his
supporters, and soon thereafter a rush
of legislators and leaders was made to
shower their congratulations on Mr..
MARITIME and on Governor Wilson. who
has exerted himself in Marines he

Mr.. MARITIME operates small farm
on the outskirts Of the town and
takes an interest in politics. He is a
firm supporter of William J. Bryan and

Three years ago he was a candida lie

result Of the November election showed
that the Legislature would be Demo

the vote cast for MARITIME in the pri-

was a command to the Legislature to
elect him to the United States Senate,

able Compromise In Fight.

Albany, n. Y. January 2t-Thc daily
ballot for United States Senator showed
no change in the strength or the cad
ing candidates. but the air o-nignt
teemed with rumors.
The most persistent report was that
the Tammany leaders had let Mr.. Shee-
han know that they would stand by
him only until Friday. and that if he
did not gain the necessary twelve or
thirteen votes on the next two bal
lots. they would begin to look for an
other candidate. Some of Mr. Shee-
hans friends said this was too
ridiculous TO discuss.
Other stories circulated. of the in
tention Of Mr.. Sheehan or Edward Nj.
Shepard, to withdraw, and of nego-
tiations looking to the selection OF a
