Dr. Wiley advocated the formation of a union of the mistresses of house holds, which, he said, by singleness of purpose, unity of action and power or organization could secure a better conformity to the law than any vig ilance on the part ???"'??ore of the law would b? " ? tcom piish."

THE WORK OF CONGRESS Mbci of Omr National Law-Maken Day by Day. Thi Peetof flee BlU After baring been sidetracked for esewiy a week, the poetofflce appro bation bill was further considered the jlouse of Representatives. Mr. Small, of North Carolina, ?poke in opposition to the proposi tion embraced in a separate bill to increase the pay to ocean steamships for carrying the mails He declared it to be nothing more nor less than a ship subsidy. A similar view was entetained by Mr. Finely, of South Carolina, who characterized the proposition as an "indefensible and eowardly subter fuge." He accused the Republicans of attempting to deceive the country into the belief that the bill ??s in the interest of the postal service and challenged them to come forward with a proposition for a ship subsidy, pure and simple with its purposes and objects clearly stated and unequivocally avowed. Mr. Finley's Plea. Mr. Finley pleaded for larger ap propriations for the rural free de livery service, for the establishment of a rural parcels post, for more clericsl assistance in the third-class postoffices where the salary is less than $1,600 and for greater compen sation for fourth-class postmasters. Mr. Clark, of Missouri, inquired of Mr. Overstreet, of Indiana, what was about to bedevil all of us into in* lenity." Mr. Overstreet replied that mem bers become frightened at what really was a small matter. The pro posed Penrose measure, he said, pro hibited the admission to the mails of publications which once had been declared unmailable. He assured the House, however, that the bill would not be reported at this session. Mr. Clark maintained that the Postoffice Department had ample authority to settle the question of what were le gitimate and illegitimate publica tions. "All that it needs," he de clared "is a little nerve and some common sense." The advertising publications which the department was hitting at, he said, could all be shut out if the department exercised ordinary discretion. "But," he ad ded, "the trouble with the Postof fice Department is that it will nol draw the line between a publication that is evidently and simply an ad vertising scheme and a legitimate newspaper." Defends Newspapers. He maintained that there nevei was a legitimate newspaper in the United States that abused the privi lege of sample copies, and he said that Congress never intended to strike at the number of sample cop ies issued by legitimate newspapers. Ten per cent., he argued, was not a sufficient allowance of sample copies for legitimate newspapers. On the subjest of fraud orders Mr. Clark said that the Postmaster Gen eral exercised [towers not given to the Crar of Russia. He protested against injury to a man's business by ox parte action of the department \nd insisted that fraud orders should not be issued until a fair hearing liad been given and that the aggriev 'd person should have the right of ippeiU to a court of justice. "The luicker that system is remedied," he leclared, "the better off the country is going to be." On a point of order by Mr. Wan-' zer of Pennsylvania, the provision for a second assistant postmaster foi Chicago was eliminated from the bill Mr. Wanger is chairman of the com mittee on expenditures in the Post office Department. An effort was made by Mr. Goebol. of Ohio, to double the number or postornce employes drawing salaries of $1,200 but his amendment to that effect was voted down. An amendment by Mr. GoldfogleO of New York, to give 30 days' an nual vacation to clerks, carriers and other employes of first and second class postoffices and offices having a city delivery service suffered a simi lar fate. Consideration of the bill had not been concluded when the House ad iourned. Prince Expelled From Germany. Berlin, Special. ?
