Wasuxxgtox, Feb. 18. Postmaster-General Wanamaker and President A. B. Chandler of the Postal Telegraph Company were Interrogated by the members of the House committee on post-offices and post-roads to-day on the subject of establishing a limited postal telegraph service.

Mr. Wanamaker continued the statement begun by him before the committee last week. He said that his relations with the telegraph companies were exceedingly pleasant, ne had never had any difficulty of a personal character with the Western Union. In regard to the postal telegraph scheme, Mr. Wanamaker said that some people would say: "Is there any personal feeling behind this?" lie wanted it distinctly understood that there was no such thing.

In regard to the hill submitted by him, Mr. Wanamaker said that he offered it only as a study. He had no changes to offer, except to suggest that section 7, fixing rates for messages, might be eliminated, and the power of fixing rates vested in the Postmaster-General. He said the Civil Service would control the new establishment, and recommended that some penalty be provided to prevent the use of the wires for political purposes by officers and employes of the Government and others. The difficulty of making a contract with some flexibility in it, he said, was not so great as it might seem.

Mr. Wanamaker, in answer to questions by members of the committee, said he thought the scheme would work to the benefit of the telegraph companies by giving them additional work, but the companies differed with him. He had believed all along that it would be greatly to the interest of the Western Union to contract with the Government. Concerning a remark of M'r. Wana-maker's that anew company to do the business required by the proposed scheme "could be organized, Mr.

Crain, of the committee, said that it looked to him as if it would be much better for the Government to put up its own lines, instead of allowing a new company to do the work. The new company would be obliged only to put up the poles and wires, while the Government would furnish the offices, instruments and operators. Why could not the Government, asked Mr. Crain, put up the wires as well? Mr. Chandler outlined the extent of the Postal Telegraph system.

The relations between the Western Union and his company, he stated, were mutually protective, but there was no contract relations between the two organizations that need have any effect on the consideration of the question at issue. The only agreement between the two companies provided that a regular schedule of rates should be hides by a party of citizens.
