That Matter Must Await Action of Congress Regard ing an Appropriation. Whether or not Pendleton gets a free mail delivery now depends on an appropriation from congress, and it is almost a settled fact that it will not be installed by the first of July, as had been announced. Following is a telegram which Post master Fell received from Washing ton, D. C, In regard to the free de livery: "If congress makes the necessary appropriation the examinations which were to have been held in Pendleton, May 24, will be held June 7, other wise, not until after July 1. Notify applicants to appear June 7, instead of May 24, unless further advised." In Bpeaking of the meaning of the above telegram this morning, Post master Fell said that he did not quite understand what was meant by wait ing on congress for an appropriation, for it had been his. impression that everything was settled and that all the preliminaries had been wound up so that there was nothing in the way of the free delivery except tho exam ination of applicants for carriers and the placing of the boxes for the re ception of outgoing mail. The date set for the examination of applicants was next Saturday, May 24, and Post master Fell had been looking for a government civil service man every day for the past week, who was to lo' cate the place forthe. boxes and lay out the routes. Now this has been postponed until the 7th of June. As the free deliv ery has been promised for more than a year and all the local details attend ed to, and every time something has happened to cause a postponement, the local postoffice authorities, as well as the residents, are becoming somewhat skeptical and very little de pendence will be placed on promises hpreafter. FURNISH AND FULTON. Grand Republican Rally In Sumptei Wednesday Night Sumpter, Oregon, May 22. Hon. W. J. Furnish and C. W. Fulton arriv ed in Sumpter yesterday and there was a rally last night.

SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT. Harney County Newspaper Says Wil liamson Struck a Frost. Tho Times-Herald, published at Burns, Harney county, seems to take a different view of republican chancea in that section from the one express ed here by Hon. J. N. Williamson when interviewed by a representa' tive of the East Oregonian last Tues day evening. Mr. Williamson regarded his recep tion while stumping that part of the district as extremely flattering and told of the enthusiasm which prompt ed the people of Burns to send their band and a large number of rooters In carriages across the county with them. The Times-Herald's report of the meeting declares the rally to have been a frost of the worst kind. "The speakers tried in vain to wake up the cold-blooded crowd, and once in a while succeeded in drawtag faint response from the bored listeners," Is the way it describes the meeting, while it also states that the report sent the Oregonian .and the real thing were decidedly different. "Instead of 75 people headed'by the band to meet' the speakers at the outskirts of town, there were not to .exceed that many on Main street when Hon. J. N. William son and Judge Webster arrived at lie hotol. The Burns band was there to meet them and give them a welcome. There were no cheers that anyone heard," says the Times-Herald reporter.
