Senate Week Delivers Debate on Statehood and Rates
The Senate plans a week of speeches on Joint Statehood with Foraker amendments seen as likely to prevail, affecting Oklahoma and Indiana Territory. Culberson may discuss race questions while Beveridge faces defeat. Patterson and Heveridge prepare closing remarks as House actions loom. The railroad rate dispute remains active, with focus shifting to proposed compromise amendments before unfinished business. The House moves to Indian appropriation bills with irrigation, reform school, tuberculosis sanatorium, and authority to suppress the Manor track among Indians. Friday dedicates time to private pension bills and signals adjournment next week.

Post Office Building Needs in Pittsburg Debate
A congressional committee visited Pittsburg to inspect sites and assess needs for a new federal building. The group, led by Bartholdt, explored a $3,000,000 post office plan but was unlikely to secure funding this session, favoring centralized, workshop style facilities near rail hubs to speed mail handling. Next stop is Boston to review similar needs and potential $800,000 site purchase.
