CONTRAST WITH HOUSE New York Orator Treats Colleagues to Philippic Ridiculing Intermi nable Debaters of House of Deliberation. WASHINGTON, April 12.-Tho feature Bf today's proceedings in the House o Representatives -was the speech made by Cockran, of New York, 'who, under an agreement made on a previous day, was given an hour to elucidate the subject of 'general debate" on appropriation bills. Sn view of the announcement that Cock can would speak, the galleries -were crowded and a very large proportion of the members were In attendance. Cockran, after a short discussion of' the Action of "general debate" and the fail ure of members to attend the sittings of the House while subjects covering the widest possible latitude were being illu minated, launched out into a defense of the Hepburn rate bill and the high posi tion taken by the House, not only in the exceptional character of the legislation, but In the dignified way In which the bill passed the lower branch of Congress. In this connection he ridiculed the con stitutional debaters In the Senate. Progress of Postal Bill. Increased pay for carriers, a subject which has been a fruitful source of Im passioned eloquence for a number of years, also gave the partisans of these men an opportunity to put themselves again on record. Progress was made on the Post office appropriation bill. 1& of the 29 pages having been completed. But few amend- I mcnts were made, these not changing the amount of the appropriations to any con siderable extent. j "When Cockran rose at 3 o'clock he was ! met by crowded galleries and a large rep resentation .of the members, who gave , him a hearty welcome. Ho reviewed the history of the Esch-Townscnd and the Hepburn bills in the House. He recalled that the Hepburn bill in the House was considered with unlimited debate, and con trasted Its position in the Senate. The constitutional lawyers, he said, played battledore and shuttlecock with Its terms, and were insistent for some liberal court review clause, In order to make it con stitutional. Cockran Rakes Senators Over Coals. With fine satire, he said there were as many constitutions as there were consti tutional lawyers to interpret them. "Some of these constitutional lawyers would say we have all the power, some that we have no power, to legislate along these lines." be said: "a constitutional lawyer how are we able to distinguish him? Not by the xiumber of decisions of courts proving his contentions, but by the wonder and awe of his associates at the multiplicity of his quotations, the strangeness of his phrases, the awfulncss of his mien and the mystery of his meaning." (Loud ap pFausc.) Referring again to the rate bill, he salfi that, should the court declare the remedy unconstitutional, the court would direct Congress to the remedy. In his opinion, the bill now under consideration by the Senate was tue perfection of legislation. Consideration of the Postofflce appro priation bill was then resumed, the fol lowing amondment being adopted: For Inland transportation by star rout, including temporary service to newly estab lished office. J7.100.000 provided that no part of this appropriation shall be expended lor continuance of any ejar-route service th patronage of which shall be served entirely by tho extension of rural delivery Kervlee: nor shall any of said sum be expended for tho establishment of new star-route service tor a patronage which la already entirely served by rural delivery service, provided that out of this appropriation the Postmaster-General Is authorized to provide dlf. flcult or emergency ma.ll service In Alaska. Including the establishment and equipment of relay stations. In such manner as he may think advisable, without advertising therefor. Increased Star-Route Service. Bartlett of Georglo offered an amend ment giving the right to any person or corporation, having applied to the Postmaster-General for admission of a publi cation to the malls at second-class rate and the application having been refused, to apply for a writ of mandamus to the Supreme Court of the District of Colum bia that the case may be reviewed. Over street made the point of order that the amendment Introduced new matter and the point was sustained. Keep Record or Franked 3Iall. An amendment was adopted requiring the chief officer of each of the several executive departments. Independent bu reaus and Government establishments having headquarters at, Washington to maintain from July l to December 31, 1P06. a record of all mail entered at Wash ington by each undere penalty privilege during said period, so as to show the character and quantity of said mail by the several classes and report to Congress not later than February 1, 1M7. what amount of postage would .have been re quired for each of said classes. Macon of Arkansas sought to limit the railway postofflce car service to the car actually in use by "transportation com panies, but was defeated on a rising vote. A resolution calling upon the Secretary of tho Treasury for information and cer tified copies of all acounts of the United States postal agent at Shanghai.
