Nor can it bo considered the light of a test vote on iho "whii-1 bill , " an thn fact that it was anUgonizi by an appropriation bill induced nmi members to vet * against the motion wi ill probably support the measure when i ccraes squarely before the house. The house then wont into committee f the whole , with Ulount ( dem. , U i ) in 10 chair , on the postofllco appropriation ill. ill.Mr. Mr. Townshond ( dom. , III. ) explained 10 provisions of the bill. Mr. llorr ( rep. , Mich. ) said there would undoubtedly bo n deficiency of 2,000,000 if the bill passed in its prcs- nt shape , and the only oflsot the cxm- tittoo provided was the cutting down of 10,000 in the salaries of posmasters in jno cities. Ho was opposed to this pro- ision. Mr. Howoy ( rep.N. J. ) invited special tto ntion to the provision for the rcduc- on of compensation to railroads. Ho lought thatj though it was unwiao , ho lade no special objection to it , his oppo- tion being directed to the clause author ing the payment of only CO per cent of iat compensation to the land grant oads. This did not apply to the Union acific system , and it was doubtful if it pphed to the Northern Pacific.
