doubiedly every wire is being drawn by the Of
ice-scckers, They are very bitter against
OConnor for refusing to give his influence at
Washington either for or again tany ne. He
utterly refuses to DO this, saying, II any Of the
Washington gentlemen want to know his opln-
ion Of any one, they can nave it for asking :;
bat he will not offer it. 1t is refreshing, now
an them to see man who viii not consider

Of his existence.
The Crystal Palace progresses towards com

fire limits, beyond the each Of gas, and with
all the streets about it in an unfinished state, so
that visitors will be pretty certain to suffer both

Impulse it gives to the localities around it.
Every one looks for great rush OF people
there, an a great increase Of business If every
kind is calculated upon with perfect conf

draws in every thing. One company has been
formed, with Il large capital, and Is erecting
near by,a large tower, Il hundred feet in dame
ter at the base, and to be three hundred feet
high. at a cost, including machinery and every
thing, Of some $4,000. I hey expect to get
this money back, with lnge profits, by raising
visitors to the top of the tower, to see the City
from that elevation. They will have very nice
machinery for the purpose, which will raise Il
car load Of people from the ground to the TOT
in twcniy-cght seconds, with ease and gentle

WA,nINlroH, April }, 1913.
Shortly after meeting the Senate went into
Executive Session.
Whca the doors were opened, the Senate
took up Mr.. lIouslo toms resolution, authorizing
J. Il. Bartlett, TIE late Commissioner, and y.
b Gray, late L. 5. Surveyor Of the Mexican
Boundary, to furnish report and plans to the
Senate, Of the explorations made by them and
by others connected with the commission under
them, ON the topography, geography and natu
raj history OF the regions adjacent to the line,
with such information as they have collected
relative to the indian tribes through Texas, Cal
ifornll and New Mexico, and that the work be
executed under the supervision Of the Depart
mcnt of the Interior, in style and form corr
responding with the publication of School
crafts History OF the Indian Tribes, and Owens
Geo oglcal Eeport-l00J copies to be pub
h5hcd.
Mr.. Hunter said there was no present ncces-
siry for this work. 1t would be expensive, and
they knew nothing about it.
Nh Houston remarked, he would not have
called for the information if it was not import
ant, and saw no particular objection to it on
the score OF expense.
Mt. Bogand said the contingent fund was
not one fourth large enough to print work
like this.
The debate was continued by Messrs. Pearcc,
Houston, Batter, Hunter, llamblin and Borland,
Mr.. Douglass would not consent to the pubs
LEGATION without knowing what the work is, and
ON his motion tie resolution was laid on the
table,
After another short Executive session, the
Senate adjourned.
