OPPOSED BY DEMOCRATS

Will Not Permit Wanamafcer's Postal Telegraph Bill to Pass This Session. Strong Lobby, Said to Be Backed Ij Gould, Wonting Ag&iiiit Oe Measure Objections to Closing the World's Fairon Sundaj. TTANAJIAKEITS MEASURE DOOMED. Democrats Decide that the Limited Toatal Telegraph Bill Mait Not Vast. Epeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jn. 9. Tho House committee on postoffices and post-roada adjourncd again to-day without taking action on tbe Wanarnaker bill to establish a limited postal telegraph. Tho opposition, which consists solely of tho lobby, finding that a Quorum of tbe committee could foe prevented, mustered all its forces just in time sua by discussing dilatory motion until the hour for the meeting of the House, caused tbe meeting of tbe committee to end without result Tbe friends of tbe bill, howerer, bare not lost hope. On Tuesday, of this week, the opposition, being afraid to go into tbe committee and Tote against a report, had to content themselves -with breaking a quorum. Tbe bill would have been reported favorably-on that day even though Candler, of Massachusetts, one of the strongest supporters of it, was away in Florida, but for tne absence of Hayes, of Iowa, who. though promising to be present, carefully stayed away. The friends of tbe bill rallied to-day and made a quorum, but the opposition rallied, and knowing its own weakness, chose to fight, and fought successfully for delay. To those who have watched closely from the inside the postal-telegraph fight, and in tbe last session of Congress,' some recent circumstances are curious and interesting. There is no doubt that the rumors of Postmaster-general Wanamaker's financial embarrassment, which have appeared from time to time, have emanated from the office of Jay Gould. It is certain that he threatened, months ago, to play havoo with Mr. Wanamaker's financial credit, and it is certain that the reports which have been telegraphed East from Western cities were sent there by tbe opposition people, to be tele- . graphed East. These rumprs have recurred again and again, but so far from frightening the Postmaster-general, or causing him the slightest annoyance personally or financially, they have only served to draw Ins friends closer about him, and to compact them in better fighting form than ever. Ho has never worried for a moment about the effect of , these rumors, which, in themselves, however baseless they might bo, would wreck almost any business man of lsrge operations; for he has known that the very fact that all these rumors caused no annoyunco at all is the best possible evidence of his financial soundness. On tbe contrary, in tbe postal telegraph, as in his anti-lottery tights, be has gone on persistently and good natnredly, gaining a point and making a friend wherever he could. V bven of the nice Hepablican members of tbe committee and several of the Dewoi rata are heartily with him in this, as in )ils other postal reforms. The two Republican members who have seen the most service and are with him at heart, namely, liinlmiu. of Philadelphia, the chairman, and Ketcham, of New York, the next member in point of service, oppose the postal telegraph bill by trying to prevent its consideration, and all of the other Kepublican Members a ro heartily in favor of it, as the President, a majority of the Cabinet and the I'tLco committee of tbe Senate are. The t)olicy of delay was effectual in tha case of the autt-lottery bill, until attention was drawn by the newspapers to the fact that . the. measure bad been carefully stowed ay for seven or eight months. It was iil at the time that the man who should clttlav consideration of the anti-lottery bill rhouM have a thousand dollars a month for tluiug so, audit is wellknowntbat the scandalous methods of the lottery lobby, -who seemed to have no end of money to spend, bi'iug brought to the attention of the people, wa the chief cause of the passage of the bill. Tho limited postal telegraph bill has encountered tbe united opposition of the Democrats on the postotlice committer of the House. If it should reach tbe Houue calendar it would receive tbeir united opposition there. Some of the strongest Demorrats on tbe committee, liko Blount of Georgia and Crain of Texas, who have studied postal telegraphy and have believed la it, and, besides, have large farming constituencies which want it. have been at heart in -favor of the Wauamaker bill. A united Democratic policy has been determined upon, which proposes that all legislation in this direction shall be stopped at oil hazards, at least until tbe next session. This will rob the Republicans of any credit for tbe legislation among the industrial and farming masses, who are generally supposed to have had things all their way in the recent elections. The developments of to-day, as well as more direct information from certain Democratic campaign managers, entirely con farm the belief that tbe Democrats will furnish a compromise telegraph bill next session if it must, but which it would not do if it could avoid. At any rate, that it has already made an alliance by which all postal telegraph legislation is to bo sUved off as long as it can be is very apparent. orrosED to Sunday closing. The Religions Liberty Society Thinks the Fair Should Be Open Every Day. Fperial to the Xndiantpolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 9. Two representatives of the National Religious Liberty Society arrived here to-day for tbe purpose of urging Congress not to take any hand in prohibiting tho opening of tbe world's fair oo Sunday. They were at tbe Capitol most of the day interviewing Senators and members, and have arranged with Chairman Candler of the world's fair committee, to have a hearing the early part of next week. The representatives are Alonzo T. J ones rditor of the American Sentinel, of New York, which is devoted to the interest of religious liberty, and W. H. McKee, one of the leading members of the society. Mr. Jones said: "Our contenttion is that Congress has no right to mix the atlairs of church and state. It has no constitutional right to pass any legislation which will prohibit the opening of the world's fair on Sunday. If Congress prohibits the opening cf the fairon Sunday, there is no reason then why it should not go on aud legislate concerning Sunday in all branches of business. We believe that the people should be left to do as they choose in such matters. It is a question of personal liberty and Congress should not attempt to infringe upon this liberty. There is no more reason why Congress should attempt to recognize Sunday in view of the feeling of a certain branch of the community than that they should recognize Saturday in view of tho religious views of another branch of citizens. From our talk, with Congressmen there seems to be a general feeling against meddling with the Sunday question and a disposition to let that matter rest with the authorities at Chicago." The particular measure which excites the Religious Liberty Society is that introduced by Representative Morse, which eays: "That no exposition for which appropriation is made by Congress shall be opened on Sunday under penalty of a tine not less than $100 and not more than $1,000 for every violation." ItEFOUMS NECESSARY. What an Investigation Into the Sfethods of Oar Consols In Canada Reveal. Washington, Jan. 9. The joint examination recently made by tbe State and Treasury Departments into the methods and accounts of United States consulates in Canada in connection with the Canadian export and transit trade to this country has been extended by the Treasury Department to tho system of Introducing merchandise from Canada into the United States in sealed railroad cart without cus

toms inspection at the frontier. In speaking of the matter to-day. Secretary Windom said: "The conclusion reached by me is that tbe system, as now regulated and practiced, cannot be reconciled with tbe revenue interests of the government, and this conclusion's supported by facts collected by agents of the department, showing in a number of speciiic cases that tbe merchandise imported in sealed cars never reached its destination. 'Under the existing laws and regulations. United States consular officers in Canada are authorized to seal cars containing merchandise destined for the United States. On arriving at the frontier port, the car contaming snch merchandise is exempted from examination, and if the seals are found to bn intact, tho car preceeds to its destination at some interior or sea-coast port. The investigation discloses tbe fact that this system is subject to grave abuses, and that the security of the revenue is seriously imperiled. "I am dissatisfied with the exist ing condition of this branch of the business of the Treasury Department, and am apprehensive that the revenues have greatly suffered. It is my pnrpose to speedily introduce radical charges and improvements into its administration, but I do not care to state their precise nature at this time." MINOR MATTERS.

Mrs. Harrison's Plan for Enlarging the White Iiouse Laid Before the Senate. "Washington, Jan. 9. Mr. Stanford Introduced in the Senate to-day, accompanied by elaborate architectural designs, a bill for the erection of an extension of the executive mansion. It provides "that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of War, constituting a commission, be authorized and directed to cause to be erected adjacent to the present executive mansion, and connecting therewith, an extension of said mansion in accordance with accompanying plan, proposed by Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison, to embrace the present mansion as a private executive mansion, enlarged by the addition of an executive ofhee or official wing on the west, and the public wing or gallery of pictures, historic relics and art treasures on the east, both counterparts of the original structure in design, and connected therewith with colonnades aod hallways, and on the south by a connecting range of iron and glass structures of symmetrical design, forming executive conservatories and winter gardens, the whole architectural group forming an inner park or garden, at a cost not to exceed $160,000." The present intention and hope is that the corner-stone of the new structure can be laid, with appropriate ceremonies, Oct 13, 1802. as this date is peculiarly appropriate, being tbe four-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America and the centennial of the laying of the foundation of the present edifice. Cannot Find Anything to Investigate. Washington. Jan. 9. The House committee on rules has not made a report yet on the Dbckery resolution to investigate the charge that there was a silver pool last summer. Speaker Reed said to a reporter to-day that the committee had been and still were looking for something which would be a warrant ror investigation, some point from which to start The only things which had been got at were some newspaper publications, giving no authority for ,the statements, and tbe declaration made by Mr. Conger in his speech in the House ou the silver bill last session, which no one paid any attention to at the time. Now, Mr. Conger, ho said, was in Brazil, and could not be back here before Congress was over. Besides, he said, there was nothing to indicate that Mr. Conger had any positive information on the subject. What he said miaht be nothing more than the usual oratorical exaggeration. Newspaper men who had writfen about the pool had refused to give any information or to indicate in any way where information could te-had. Mr. Reed said that the committee would be ready to commence an investigation at any time there was anything to take hold of to start on. - Provisions of Appropriation Bills. Washington, Jan. 9. The House committee on appropriations to-day completed consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill for the next fiscal year, and it will be reported to the House by Mr. Bntterworth, chairman of the sub-committee.

The whole number of salariessnecifically provided for in the bill is 10.597, being l.n;i less than the number estimated for, and fifty-nine less than is provided for in the act for the current year. A special clause is inserted in the provision making appropriations for horses and mail-wagons for the Senate and House of Representatives, requiring the money to be expended by the Sergeaut-at-arms of the Senate and Postmaster of tbe House "under contraets to be let annually to the lowest responsible bidder therefore, after due advertisement." The object of this is to prevent such scandals as were exposed in the Wheat postmastership investigation. Proceedings of the Iiouse, Washington, Jan. 9. After disposing of some minor measures this morning the House went into committee of the whole on bills on the calendar. The first bill was one referring to the Court of Claims the claim of the Citizens' Bank of Louisiana growing out of the seizure and covering into the United States treasury of certain moneys of tho bank by Gen. 13. F. Butler. The amount involved is $215,000. The measure gave rise to quite a long discussion, it being advocated by Messrs. Blancbard and Boatnerof Bouisiana, and opposed by Mr. Thomas of Wisconsin, and Mr. Grosveuor of Ohio. After further debate, Mr. Thomas moved to strike out the enacting clause. Lost 59 to CO. The hour of 5 o'clock having arrived, the bill went over, tbe committee rose and tho House took a recess until 8 o'clock the evening session to be for consideration of private pension bills. At the evening session the House passed sixty private pension bills, including one of &J0 a month to tbe widow of General Duryea, and, at 10:30, adjourned. ' Democratlo Congressional Committee. Washington, Jan. 9. At a meeting of tbe Democratio congressional campaign committee. Congressman James Kerr, chairman of the Democratio State committee of Pennsylvania, proposed a plan for the reorganization of the campaign committee which met with general favor. It contemplates the selection by the Democratic State central committees of every State in the Union of one person well known for his Democracy, capability, energy and bis general knowledge of tbe details of the practical organization in his own State. The men selected need not necessarily be members of v Congress. In fact a member of Congress is to be ratber the exception. The idea is to secure a congressional committee that will be in every sense a representative organization, and yet not individually interested in their own re-election. In addition to the full campaign committee Mr. Kerr suggested that an executive committee of live be appointed for tho purpose of establishing a bureau which will be a permanent feature of the committee. Looks Like a Boycott Against Our Meat. Washington, Jan. 9. The United States Consul-general at Berlin has informed tbe Department of State that tbe General Council of the German empire has decided to allow the governments of the diflerent states of Germany to permit tlie importation of live cattle from Austria-Hungary into the larger cities which have public slaughterhouses, on certain conditions. He has also informed the department that the Emperor of Germany has issued a proclamation raising tbe prohibition of the importation of swine, swine ltesh and sausages of Swedish or Norwegian origin.

excess of receipts over expenditures, until it has now reached nearly $18,000,000. In speaking of this increase a prominent treasury official said to-day that tbe department was once more in a position where it could again go into the market and buy four per cent, bonds when there was any urgent necessity for so doing. The amount of four-and-abalf per centbonds redeemed to-day was $34,300, making the total to date $S,2GS,450. BUI to Prevent Opposition Postoffices. Washington, Jan. 9.
