Mr. Gunter, tho new member, from Accomac, may vote, but It Is not positively known whether ho will or not. Last night one of those favoring tho Cog- blll report 'claimed that Mr. Gunter would not vote at all, but other rep'opör- are that he will and that he will support the Cogbill report- Be Thirty-Five Votes. With Sonators Cromwell and Whltehead both present and Messrs. Mann and Gun¬ ter not voting:, there would bo just thirty- tlvo votes, presuming that there aie no pairs. With Senator Gold also here and the same assumption as to Mr. Gunter, there would bo thirty-six votes. Senator Revercomb may also be hero, but haa been absent for some time and there-îa no special reason to anticipate that he will arrive to-day. Senator Hutoheson, of Charlotte, is in very feeble health, and Is not expected 'back ony more at this session. With Senators Mann and Gunter not vot« Ing and Sonators H'atohesou and Rever« eomb absent and not paired, there would bo a total of thirty-six votos on the Mc- llwaino and Cogbill reporta. On thJs ba-. sis the Senate Is estimated to stand about as follows: For Mcllwalne resolution, 15; against Mcllwaine resolution, 17; doubt¬ ful or unclassified, 4; not voting; 2; to¬ tal, 38, Necessary to adopt either reso« lution, IS. Much depends upon which and how many of tha absentees arrive to-day, and how the four doubtful ones vote. All this Is based upon the supposition that nono will bo swayed in his vote by the debate, which no one can positively assert. To- do so would In effect be charging that all the members have preconceived opinion« on the subject to be dotermained. In any event it may bo depended upon the vot« #. will be very close and the result in doubt until tho roll-call is completed. The First Vote. The Senate yesterday afternoon at t' o'clock took up tho special order on th«v calendar, the_jo!nt resolution for the re- mo vn3 of Judgo G, J. Campbell and the two reports submitted by the Committee, for Courts of Justice thoreon. The reso¬ lution of Mr. Mcllwalne .proposing tha creation of a Joint committee of ten li-g- lslators (five from the Sonate and fly» from tho House) to hoar testimony anew In the case of Judge C. J. Campbell, will come up 8H a substitute for tho roport of Messrs. Cogbill, Çruce, Byara, Walker, Harmnn and Sears, recommending con¬ currence In tho House Joint resolution« removing tho judge. Mr. Anderson, of Richmond, offered nit amondmont to the Cngblll report Inserting* iu the joint resolution from tho House, the 'ííharges on which that body voted to remove Campbell. Tho first voto will on the substitute known as tho Mcll¬ walne roport, embracing the resolution just montions!. In tho dvent that this falls of adoption, tho Andorson amend¬ ment would then como up and In the event of Its ndoption the voto would then renur on tho removal resolution as amended, The final adoption or defeat <>f that depends wholly upon how many, If any, of tho supporters of tho Mcllwalne report will after that may have been de¬ feated, voto for tho removal resolution. Three-Hour Debate, The debato was begun yesterday and with nn tntormls-slon of two hours con¬ tinued from 1 P. M. until tt P. M., dur¬ ing which time five senators spn|<... ?.[..

and attempted to swim ashore, but theywere caught In the breakors, dashedagainst the rocks and killed. The otherswho were on the vessel took to the rin¬ging and clung there while their strengthlnstod. but the enormous seas were morethan they could battle agnlnst, and one

PROBING OFPOSTOFFICE

All Large Ones In the Countryto Be Investigated.

METHODS OUT OF DATE

Business Has Trebled Since Those NowIn Operation Were Adopted, and In¬

vestigation is to Improve Theseand Correct Abuses.

(By Assoclnted Tress.)WASHINGTON, May G..A far-roach-

Ing extension of tho postofflco Investiga¬tion to Include the overhauling of most

of tho largo postofflces of tho countryIs In contemplation. This statement was

made to-day by Postmaster-GeneralPayne.Mr. Payne said the Increase by ".5,000

of tho contingent expenses of his own

office had been mado for the purposeof investigating tho affaJrs of tho post¬ónico department along thoso lines, butho admitted that It was not at that timoanticipated that tho Investigation wouldprove sensational. Tho details of tho pro¬posed general investigation, he said, havenot yet been formulated, owing to tho¦fact that all efforts are now bolng con¬

centrated on tho Investigation now inhand.It will cover all first-class postofflces

whoso annual receipts aggregate a halfmillion dollars. Mr. Payne said to-daythat the present administrative methodsof the postofflco were put In operation byPostmaster-General Wanamaker fourteenyears ago, and since then the businessof tho postónico department had trebled.Ho said that it might be that some oftho methods were faulty and their ac¬counts Irregular, and an Investigationwould be mado in tho hope of Initiatingbetter methods, as well as correctingabuses.The abstraction of papors from tho

safe of tho office of th© Assistant Attor¬ney-General for tho postónico depart¬ment by Mrs. James N. Tynor, wlto ofthe then Assistant Attorney-General, Isnow regarded as practically a closed In¬cident. The papers were token on April21, and the caso was referred to thoUnited States attorney for the District ofColumbia a week later. The matter hasnot progressed further. It has not beenpresented to the grand Jury, and It Is be¬lieved that tho grand jury would not.be likely to take action because of ladtof proof that tho papers were govern¬ment property.

A VOTE ONCAMPBELL'SCASE TODAY

It Was Debated for HoursYesterday.

THE VIEWS WEREWIDELY DIFFERENT

Now Looks Like the CampbellPeople May Lose.

THE MANY ARGUMENTSTHAT WERE ADVANCED)

Advocates of the Mcllwalne ResolutloiVUrge that tho Evidence Be Taken aSecond Time.Opponents Takethe Ground that the House

Fully Complied Withthe Law.

There is every indication that the San*ate of Virginia will to-day reach a vot«,on the conflicting' reports submitted by,tho Committee for Courts of Justice la.the case of Judge C.. J. Campbell.Thoro were thlrty-flvo senators present

yesterday out of a total of forty, the ab¬sentees being- Messrs. Cromwell, Gold,Kutcheson, Revercomb and Wiitohead.Two of these and possibly throe, Messrs,Cromwell, Gold and Whltehead, may comain to-day arid be present this evening-when the Vote Is ¿ad on the .Campbellmatter.That would make thirty-eight of the

forty members of tha Senate present, butone of these, at least, will not vote, -andthat one Is Mr. Mann, of Nottoway, whowas a witness Before tho House Com«mittee. Mr. Gunter, tho new member,from Accomac, may vote, but It Is notpositively known whether ho will or not.Last night one of those favoring tho Cog-blll report 'claimed that Mr. Gunterwould not vote at all, but other rep'opör-are that he will and that he will supportthe Cogbill report-

Be Thirty-Five Votes.With Sonators Cromwell and Whltehead

both present and Messrs. Mann and Gun¬ter not voting:, there would bo just thirty-tlvo votes, presuming that there aie nopairs. With Senator Gold also here andthe same assumption as to Mr. Gunter,there would bo thirty-six votes. SenatorRevercomb may also be hero, but haabeen absent for some time and there-îano special reason to anticipate that hewill arrive to-day. Senator Hutoheson,of Charlotte, is in very feeble health, andIs not expected 'back ony more at thissession.With Senators Mann and Gunter not vot«

Ing and Sonators H'atohesou and Rever«eomb absent and not paired, there wouldbo a total of thirty-six votos on the Mc-llwaino and Cogbill reporta. On thJs ba-.sis the Senate Is estimated to stand aboutas follows: For Mcllwalne resolution, 15;against Mcllwaine resolution, 17; doubt¬ful or unclassified, 4; not voting; 2; to¬tal, 38, Necessary to adopt either reso«

lution, IS.Much depends upon which and how

many of tha absentees arrive to-day, andhow the four doubtful ones vote. All thisIs based upon the supposition that nonowill bo swayed in his vote by the debate,which no one can positively assert. To-do so would In effect be charging that allthe members have preconceived opinion«on the subject to be dotermained. In anyevent it may bo depended upon the vot« #.will be very close and the result in doubtuntil tho roll-call is completed.

The First Vote.The Senate yesterday afternoon at t'

o'clock took up tho special order on th«vcalendar, the_jo!nt resolution for the re-movn3 of Judgo G, J. Campbell and thetwo reports submitted by the Committee,for Courts of Justice thoreon. The reso¬lution of Mr. Mcllwalne .proposing thacreation of a Joint committee of ten li-g-lslators (five from the Sonate and fly»from tho House) to hoar testimony anewIn the case of Judge C. J. Campbell, willcome up 8H a substitute for tho roport ofMessrs. Cogbill, Çruce, Byara, Walker,Harmnn and Sears, recommending con¬

currence In tho House Joint resolution«removing tho judge.Mr. Anderson, of Richmond, offered nit

amondmont to the Cngblll report Inserting*iu the joint resolution from tho House,the 'ííharges on which that body voted toremove Campbell. Tho first voto will b«on the substitute known as tho Mcll¬walne roport, embracing the resolutionjust montions!. In tho dvent that thisfalls of adoption, tho Andorson amend¬ment would then como up and In theevent of Its ndoption the voto would thenrenur on tho removal resolution as

amended, The final adoption or defeat <>fthat depends wholly upon how many, Ifany, of tho supporters of tho Mcllwalnereport will after that may have been de¬feated, voto for tho removal resolution.
