Bill Killed SPRINGER STILL HOPES in Postal Scheme
Washington Jan 9 Mr Springer of Illinois defends the House vote against the previous question on the currency bill as not killing the measure. He expects another order or committee of the whole to revisit the bill. He says he will push the subject continually and would consider amendments from free silver advocates. Walker of Massachusetts says the House will await Senate action. The currency vote resulted in a practical defeat of the bill with 123 Democrats and one Republican for the question and 41 Democrats, 82 Republicans and seven Populists against it. Consulates in Asia Minor provide for Iirzeroum and Harpoot to protect American missionaries. The post office appropriation bill is discussed. Quigg reports changes in the New York Post Office. Caruth warns of a national postage scheme to lower rates to channel billions to managers through state patronization. The bill is reported and passed.
