Washington, Jan. 9 —Alleged post office frauds were under discussion in the Senate today, the subject being opened ina eet epeech by Mr. Sim- mons, of North Carolina, who insist- ed that there should be an investiga- tion by the Senate into the charges. Mr Platt, of Connecticut, denied that the Republicans were trying to cover up wrongdving in the Postoffice de- partment and said they simply were contending that the postoffice com- mittee should ascertain what was to be investigated. The discussion was participated in by Mr. Burrows, Mr. Dolliver and Mr. Quarles on the Republican side, and Mr. Carmack, Mr. Tillman and Mr. Teller on the Democratic side. The Republican contention was that there had been a thorough investiga. tion by the Postoffice department, and that a Senate investigation was now being pressed by the Democrats for partisan purposes. The Demo- crate insisted that they wanted the facts, and said that the Republicans were trying to smother them. Perry S. Heath was bitterly assailed and the Postmaster General, C. E. Smith, was criticised by Democratic sena- ors. o General John B. Gordon Very Sick in Florida Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 6.—Gen. John B.

Omaha, Jan. 7—That aman and his wifecan maintain a position in society, live under the same roof, dine at the same table and attend the same church without speaking a word to each other for five years was a surprise to society people who heard the testimony of witnesses in the Coulter divorce case to day. Dr. F. E. Coulter, one of the fash- ionable physicians of the city, an} Mrs. Coulter fulfilled the conditions mentioned. What further surprised the fashionable folk who were not in- timately acquainted with the Coul- ters was that for five ears Mrs. Coulter did the servant’s duty in the household, for servant’s wages, at her own request, so that she need not ask her husband for money. Another feature of the Coulter re- lationship was that Mrs. Coulter had to receive her friends in summer time on the back porch, Lecause the doe tor used the front porch as a recep- tioa room for his callers. The testi mory disclosed another reason for | Mrs. Coulter’s preference for the back porch, and that was that she usually wore servant's apparel. Dr. Coulter admitted, while testi- fying, that he was in the habit of spending considerable sums of money in London while he practiced at a hospital there, entertaining hand- some nurses at theater parties, while Mrs. Coulter was at home doing the work. It was this that led Mrs. Coulter to refuse to sit in the same pew with her husband. Blackburn Scents Danger. Frankfort; Ky., Jan. 7.—From ap- pearances thus far in advance, J.C. 8. Blackburn will have the fight of his life fur re-election to the United States senate. Hisannouncement of his candidacy, following Governor Beckham's coup in the legislature, has itself been followed by a strong intimation from Congressman David M. Smith that his name also will be presented in due time. While Senator Blackburn was qui- etly dreaming in Washington, Gov- ernor Beckham and Mr. Smith were hard at work with the members of the legislature and when Mr. Smith departed fur Washington his friends said he was sufficiently encouraged at the outlook to consider Governor Beckham his strongest opponent. Senator Blackburn appears to have lost his hold on the people, and; un- leas the situationchanges greatly in the next two years, may be relegated to retirement.
