A Poll of Congress Shows 190 Votes for the Annexation Kesolution, Giving a Good Working Majority in Its Favor—A Di- plomatist in London Thiuks Earope Will Interfere Before Loug. WasuINGTON, May 24.—The post department is deluged with let- ters from persons who wish to obtain appointments in connection with the military post office service at the dif- ferent camps and headquarters. By understanding entered into be- tween Postmaster General Smith and First Assistant Postmaster General Per Ileath, however, this service will be supervised entirely by the ex- isting force of the post office depart- ment and the active work of collect- ing and distributing mail matter to forces in the field will be managed by the officers and enlisted men of the army, without added expense to the government. The routine work of establishing the different camp post oftices will be directed by the special agents of the rural free delivery serv ice and the regular corps of post office inspectors; the regimental chaplains as a rule will be commissioned postmas- ters and the transportation of the mails toand from the different camps will be performed by the army ambu- lances; and the corporals and privates will act as mail superintendents and carriers respectively. It is Mr. Ifeath’s opinion that a very efficient service in this way can be established without taking on additional employes. The public are asked to assist by carefully naming company and regiment in the an es of their letters to the dif- ferent camps, as for example: “John Doe, company D, Sixteenth Illinois infantry, Falls Church, Va.” House Favors Hawatian Annexation.

This gives a good working majority in its favor. Speaker Reed promised that if it was plainly the desire of the great body of the republicans in the house that the resolution should be acted on he would lay the matter before the committee on rules. This fact having been demonstrated to his satis- faction, nothing remains but to set the day. . is being brought to bear to have a vote on the resolution this week. If the senate makes good progress on the war revenue Dill this may be done. President McKinley would like to have annexation take place before the second expedition leaves for Manila, thereby securing all the advantages to be derived from a half-way house at Honolulu. Senti- ment in the senate is veering strongly in favor of annexation. Thinks Europe May Interfere.
