 In the absence of Senator O'Gorman of New York chairman of the com mittee on inter-Oceanic canals, Sem ator Brandegee, former chairman of that committee had charge of passing bill authorizing the exclusion of suspected persons from the canal zone with view to insuring the Panama canal and it's protecting fortifications from spies and persons desiring to injure those great works.
 Against ''Press Gag"
 Senators Brandegee and Mclean voted to strike from the post office appropriation bill the so-called "press gag" provision, which authorized the postmaster general to send any news papers and periodicals whatever by fast freight instead of by second class mail. The section was amended so as to allow publishers an appeal to the courts from the postmaster gen. erals orders
 The interstate commerce commits sion has dismissed the complaint of D. E. Mowry Go. against the New Haven railroad. It involved a rate of Is cents per 100 pounds charged on apples from New Hartford, Granbv and Simsbury, Conn.,, and Massachu- setts points to Milford, Mass The rate was not found by the commission to be either unreasonable or unjust ly discriminatory.
 New Mail Service.
 The post office department has or o 1ic1 o1x for one year a new star mail service from New Britain to Berlin Junction, 12 trips a week each way. The con- tract for the service has been award ed to Edward P. McAloon of New Britain.
 Ine department has also estab- lished for the ensuing year star route service from Hartford by West Hartford and Pennington to Union vile, 13 miles and back, ? trips a week with trips a week additional service between Hartford and West Hartford. James B. Merrick of Unionville gets the contract for the service. y-
 These orders are reported to be the result of numerous protests against certain features oI the reorganization of the mail service in Connecticut.
 Another improvement in the mail service in Connecticut will result from resembling the department order dis continuing the mail messenger ser vice from Black Hall. New London County.
 Station A of the Meriden post office will not be discontinued, owing to an- other announcement resembling an or der for such discontinuance.

WASHINGTON TOPICS OF LOCAL INTEREST
Conn. Men for Preparedness" .
 Brandegee a Spy Catcher
Especial to the Herald.)

Washington, July 3.-Members of the Connecticut delegation in the house of representatives have voted Tor the Hay bill providing $2,OOO,00O for the relief of dependent families of national guardsmen who have been called to the colors for service in connection with the Mexican crisis.
 One of the first men in congress to take up this proposition was Rep- resentative- E. J. Hill, who called at tention to the subject very soon after the presidents call for the national guard was issued about two weeks ago. After the senate had rejected the first house proposition of $1,0OO,- 900 for the relief of dependent fam lilies of national guardsmen mobilized into the federal service and when 1t was proposed to take care of the situation under a separate bill, instead of by amendment to the resolution authorizing the president to draft the militia for foreign service, Mr. Hill made a speech defending the original plan.
 
 propriation, as reported to the senate, contains the provision of special in- terest to New England:
 "The secretary of war and the sec retary of the navy are authorized and directed to report to congress at the earliest possible date, not later than December 4, 1916:
 First Specific plans for improve ment of the harbors and connecting channels which, in their judgment, will best provide adequate facilities for operations of the fleet for de- fense of the harbors of Portland, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; Provi- dence. Rhode Island; New London, New Haven and Bridgeport, Connecti- cut; New York, New York; Norfolk. Virginia; Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; Galveston, Texas; San Diego and San Francisco. California; and Seattle, Washington. .s "second. The feasible extensions requisite to make existing approved projects for improvement of the aforementioned harbors available for the purposes stated in the foregoing paragraph.
 Third The cost of each of such sev- eral improvements calculated upon the basis of completion thereof under contract within five years"
 An amendment similar to this was proposed some time ago by Senator Brandegee of Connecticut
 Vote for Preparedness.
 Senators Mclean and Brandegee of Connecticut voted for preparedness in the defense of the United States coasts when they cast their ballots m favor of an authorization to purchase John Hays Hamm mond's wireless controlled torpedo invention. They did that in effect when they voted against a sub stitute senate amendment merely au- thorizing an investigation of the in- vention.
 Both Connecticut senators voted in favor of Senator Weeks motion to strike from the Notifications appro- priation bill a provision that the sys- tenn of scientific systematic manage ment could be used in government dr. ,@enals in the manufacture of munitions
