Senator from Virginia Must Be Reckoned With

tBy HERBERT PLUMMER)

WASHINGTON. April 25.-If there ever had been any doubt in the minds of administration leaders (and there hasn') that Garter Glass of Virginia must be reckoned with, it was removed during the final stages of the $4,880,000 ,000 work relief bill in Congress.
 The Virginian's insistence that one-third of the loans made under the bill go for labor gave new deal CTS" some of the most anxious mo- ments they have had in long time
 In the end he had to compromise, but it was a clear case of the ad- ministration yielding to his de- mands.
 He has prevented the purchase with government funds of operating private power and gas plants.
 STUBBORN CONFERENCE
 It has been a long time since capitol hill has seen such a stub- born and prolonged conference on a piece of legislation as that on the work k-relief measure.
 One of the most dramatic incl dents of the whole thing came at the last and is an excellent illus tration of what Glass can do when aroused.
 It was when Buchanan of Texas, chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the House and one of the conferees, maneuvered the Senate conferees into position where it appeared they were oppos- ing action taken by the Senate.
 Glass became indignant.

JUNEAU'S P. 0. RECEIPTS ARE
 MOUNTING UP
In crease e of Twenty-Five Per Cent Reported for
 First Quarter, 1885

Definite evi dence of Juneau's growth both in population and in general business transactions is reflected in the startling increase in postal receipts, covering only stamps, box rents and mailing un- der second class poundage rates, in figures made public today by Post master Albert Vile.
 An increase of S1,879.67 for the first three months of 1885 was made over the same period of 1884. In 1884 the receipts covering the items above were $7,36414. In 1885 the receipts for the same period, January, February and March were $9, 9,243.81, an increase of practically 25 percent for the period.
 T am most gratified by the business done by the Juneau Post Office during the first quarter of this year. MT. Vile said today.
 This large increase over last year shows that Juneau is growing and that more business is being transacted. If it maintains, it will aid to get more help in the Ju- neau office, which is needed to maintain prompt service to the residents
