APPROPRIATION
PASSED SENATE

Washington, D. c., Mar. 3. - The
senate this evening passed the postoffice
appropriation bill carrying about $25e,
900, 900, after striking from it the pro.
vision increasing to four cents pound
the postal rate on advertising sections
of large magazines. Postmaster Gen-
eral Hitchcock sat in the chamber while
the bill was under consideration and
witnessed the defeat of the plan that he
had recommended.
Senator Penrose, chairman of the
postoffice committee, recognized the fu-
tility of attempting to secure the pas
sage of bill with magazine rate fea-
ture embodied. 1t was clear enough
that the senator's who opposed it would
so impede the progress of the measure
as to defeat it., and if not that, other
legislation that offered promise of en-.
actment.
Though Withdrawing the provision,
Penrose yet hoped for its ultimate suc-
cess. He secured the unanimous adop-
ton of a substitute amendment author
izing the president to appoint COM
mission of three members to make a
thorough investigation of the whole
cost of handling second class matters. 1t
is provided that one of the commission
ers shall be a judicial officer of the
government and the other two shall be
persons who hold no office and who
have no connection whatever with the
postoffce department, or with any mag
azine or newspaper. Before passing the
postoffce bill, the senate passed the
sundry civil and naval bill, two more of
the great supply measures for the ad-
of government.
The plans of the postoffce depart
ment for the establishment of par
GELS post as an experiment were de-
feated tonight, when the senate on
point of order raised by Senator Bailey
of Texas, struck from the postoffice ap-
bill an item of $50, 900 de-
signed to put into effect the proposed
system on April l. The plan contem-
plated the transportation. in mails of
packages not exceeding eleven pounds
in weight, containing no matter of first
class and no matter declared by law
to be unmailable. Such transportation
was designed to be upon such rural
mail routes as the postmaster general
might prescribe. 1t was proposed to
report the result of the experiment to
at its next session. The pro-
posed. experiment was designed to dis
cover the lowest rates of postage at |
which the postoffce department could
carry such parcels.

Washington, D. c., March 3.-Sen
ator Hepburn, chairman of the com
mittee on manufacturers, reported tQ
the senate today the result Of an in
vestigation of that committee into the
question of how long articles of food
should be kept in cold storage with
out endangering the health Of the
consumer.
The investigation was made in con
nection with a bill introduced by
Senator Lodge and intended to pre-
vent the sale or transportation, inter-
state or foreign commerce, of articles
Of food held In cold storage for more
than one year.
The report of the committee rec
commended a number Of changes in
the bill as introduced. One Of the
recommendation is that the follow
ing articles held in cold storage for
periods indicated, instead Of one
year, shall be regarded as having been
adulterated within the meaning OF the
pure food law:
Beef, seven months; veal, four
months; pork, four months; sheep,
four months; lambs, three months;
poultry, three months; game, three
months; fish, three months; eggs,
three months; butter three months.
Much of the report is devoted to
cold storage eggs. It stated that the
average quantity Of such eggs in New
York city each year is about 100000
cases, and in Chicago amout one MIL

Washington, D. c., March 3.-Witf
the virtual certainty of an early extra
session of congress beclouding theil
horizon, both houses of congress were
| in session at a late hour tonight,
grinding through a mass of routine
| legislation which must be completed
before the final adjournment at noon
tomorrow. . .
Several sharp Tits in both houses
served in some measure to break the
monotony, but for the most part 1t
was drudgery in both. From the
White House, practically from the lips
Of President Taft himself, came late
in the day the admission that the
president had abandoned all hope OF
the passage of the Canadian recipro-
city agreement and awaited only the
formal confirmation Of It's failure to
issue his call for an extra session.
The president gave little outward
evidence of his disappointment though
it is we'll known to be rather keen.
He went to the theatre to enjoy a
light opera.
The date of the extra session mas
not been definitely fixed. The DEM
ocrats want it to be deferred until
April, but the republicans want 1t to
start, if start 1t must, as soon as
possible.
At the White House today it was
rather definitely that the
date the president has in mind is
March Is.
Two interesting and unexpected
features marked the evening. Both
houses passed the bill to give the
rank and retired pay to Rear Admiral
and the thanks Of congress to Rob-
ert E. Peary in recognition of his at
tainment of the north pole. The bill
had been regarded as hopelessly lost
in the tangle of legislation in the
house, but was revived and passed to
the senate, which concurred without
delay.
During the afternoon session Sen
ator Crane had tried to have Peary
recognition added as rider" to the
naval appropriation bill, but objection
blocked it. Suddenly separate Peary
bill came out of the house, and the
thing was done.
The other unexpected episode was
Lorimer's motion to strike
from the general deficiency bill an
of $4,000 to reimburse

Sentiment IN OTTAWA Regarding
Reciprocity With THE UNITED
States ABOUT equally DIVIDED

American senate would fail to put the
agreement through the present ses-
sion but also that President Taft,
instead of calling an extra session,
would leave reciprocity to be dealt
with at a regular session.
Liberal members were equally
frank in declaring that nothing could
please them better than favorable
action by the present senate and that
failing this, they would be keenly
disappointed If Taft did not call q
special session.
