A large noaority of the whole cdtnmittee of post ofices and post roads is strongly opposed o almost any form of postal saving? >anks, 'but it is confronted with the nesesslty of bringing out some sort of bill, n fact, the membership of the House is laid to be largely opposed to the estabishment of government savings instituions, hut as both the republican and lemocratic platform contain planks de laring for them, all are agreed that lome legislation along this line must be tad. No Report of Details. The report of this subcommittee has lot been printed and, therefore, not made )ublic, and consequently information egarding the details of the committee's tction is not obtainable. The subcommittee consists of Reprelentatives Gardner of New Jersey, Huff if Pennsylvania, I>urey of Now York, iamer of Idaho.

Says Fuller Details of the Exploit Should Be Given?His Experience There. NEW YORK. April 1?.-Charles Sheldon. a New York sportsman and explorer, who for years has known Tom Lloyd, Charles McGonnigle and W. R. Taylor, three of the four men who. according to Lloyd, reached the top of Mt. MeKinley April 3, says that the public should await a fuller report of the details of the ascent before complete acceptance of the claim Mr. Sheldon has hunted big game and explored the country about the base of Mount McKinley. He said he was thus fully acquainted with many of the difficulties which any party would have to surmount to reach the top of this tallest peak on the continent. At Variance With Facts. "The press reports contain many assertions that are not in accordance with the farts," he continued. "It Is not reasonable to suppose that the party had an aneroid barometer which would record an altitude of 20,300 feet with any degree of accuracy. It is ridiculous to saythat a trail was established to the top of the mountain or that snowshoes were used most of the way up. "It is reported that the flag they left at the summit could be seen from the north side of the mountain, which is an impossibility, since the top of Mount McKinley is a double summit, consisting of two ridges extending east and west. The south ridge, which is the culminating peak, cannot be seen from the north. "Neither Lloyd, McGonnigl* nor Taylor know anything about technical mountain climbing. I do not know Patterson, the fourth man of the party." AID OF WOMAN PATIENT. Money Contributed to Pay for Treatment in Sanatorium.
