PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE, In the consideration of senate amendments «o the postoffice bill, somo discussion arose on the amend- ment restoring the franking privilege to members of congress. Mr. Cannon (Ill.,) said from figures furnished by the postoffice dopart- ment he found that of 174,000,000 pounds of mails were carried per year, 73 per cent. being printed matter, and is carried practically free of cost. Eighty-five per cent. is received for the carrying of letters. The proposi- tion to carry the mails of congressmen free would probably allow transporta- tion free of about } of one per cent. of the mails carried. He did not make these statements as being in fa- vor of the amendment but for the in- formation of the house. He, how- ever, stated that the franking privil- ege having been already restored on all printed matter in any way part of the records, he might favor extending it to letters 1f it could be granted. Mr. Townsend opposed the amend- ment. Mr. Robinson (N. Y.), thought it a small affair to refuse transporta- tion of a half-ounce letter to a soldier when books weighing four or five pounds were carried free {o wealthy farmers and college profess- ors. He favored a general reduction of letter postage. Mr. Hill (N. J.), favored a gen- eral reduction of letter postage to all. Mr. Robinson opposed the return of the franking privilege. Mr. Springer eifered an amendment, that the official envelepe, such as used by postmasters and department efficials be granted members for use for official business; thia not, however, to apply to members of the present congress, Voted down. The senate amendment was then rejected by a unanimous vote. At 4 o'clock the bill was sent to the com- mittee of conference avd the house went into a committee of the whole -again upon the tariff commission. Mr. Cox (New York) spoke in opposition to the bil, urging there should be immediate action, while this plan -vould cause long delay. He also opposed the interual revenue system, holding especially that is gives revenue officials privileges of oppress- ing the people. He also spoke against the present tariff system as oppressive upon the farming community and others. ‘Without action the committee rose. The committee on railways and canals reported favorably the bill for the construction of the Illinois and Mississippi river canal popularly known as the Hennepin canal.
