The bill reported from the Committee on
Ways and Means authorizes the issue of
$50, more Of demand Treasury
notes Oflegal tender, and of denominations
not less that S., receivable, like the others,
for all debts, loans, taxes, except for duties
on imports and interest it also authorizes
the Secretary Of the Treasury to engrave
notes at the Treasury Department by en-
pOwering them to provide machinery and
materials, and employ persons and appoint
officers necessary for the purchase An
other section repeals the limitation upon
the temporary deposit notes, and author
ICES the Secretary to receive them to the
amount not exceeding $780, 100000 on in
terest not to exceed five per cent, provided
one-third Of the deposits be reserved
in the Treasury, or from the issue to Sc
cure the prompt payment of deposits on
demand, and that certificates of deposit
and Indebtedness be received on same
terms as Treasury Notes in payment of
$50 bonds. Another section authorizes
the Secretary Of the Treasury to borrow
any part of the $3.50, ,OOO 600 mentioned in
the act authorizing National Loan, with
in twelve months from its passage All
these suggestions were submitted with the
bill in letters from Secretary Chase. An
other recommendation that S25,O0O, 900 be
issued in notes Of less value than S5 was
not carried out. ~ ff r,

1t was referred to the Committee on
naval affairs. The bill so repealed, the
passage of which most Senators are ignO-
rant, obliges the war, navy and interior
departments to put on file, within a short
time after completion, all contracts, plans,
specifications, &C., and to give every appli-
cant copies on payment of usual copying
fees. A failure to furnish copies subjects
the contractor to severe penalties.
The Navy Department sent up note
requesting the appropriation Of SO, 500
for additional clerks required by the act.
Hence the bill repeating the second at

The provision inserted in the bill sub
jecting army contractors to the rules and

ishing in Civil Courts for fraud, which
was also adopted.
The senate's joint resolution clearing the

grand daughter who shortly after came into
the room made the discovery that he was
dead. Dr. Delamater, who was called, gave
it as his opinion that death was not instan-
tansous, as he evidently sank, rather than
fell to the hoor had the latter occurred he
would probably have fallen on his face. He
was found lying on his back, in one hand he
held a hlled pipe, in the other match.
The deceased came to Cleveland in May,
1919, he being a native Of Mansfield, Massa-
ohusetts. For many years he was known as

A FUEERkL DIsCoURsE.-No wonder Fiori-
da seeded from the Union, she ought to have
done 90 long ego. She had too much intel
Ieet " into the members Of her Legislature -
70 remain in the United States. Witness the
following delivered on the death Of silas
Higgins, q member Of the {" House." We
quote from L. G. Clark's Knick Knacks:
MR. SPEAKER: Sir Our fellow citizen,
Mr.. Silas Higgins, who was lately member
Of this branch Of the Legislature, is dead,
and he died yesterday in the forenoon. He
had the brown n-ereaters, bronchitis was
meant and an uncommon individual. His
character was good up to the time Of his
DEATH and be never lost his voice. He was
ffty-six years old, and was taken sick before
he died at his boarding-hOuse, where board
can be had ct dollar and seventy-fTe cents
3 week, washing and lights included. He
WAS an ingenus ereetar, and in early
life had a father and mother. BE
was an officer in our State militia since the
last war, and was brave and polite; and his
uncle, Thos. Higgins, belonged to the RevOlu-
tionRry War, and was commissioned as lieu
tensnt by General Washington, first Presi-
dent and commander -in-chief of the army
and navy Of the United States, who died at
Mount Vernon, deeply lamented BY large
circle OF IrleuQag on tue 14ln OF Oecemnerg
1899, or thereabOut, and was buried seOn af-
ter his death, with military hOnors, and sew
eral guns was bust in firing salutes.
Sir Mr.. Speaker: General Washington
presided over the great continental Sanhe-
drim and political meeting that formed the
constitution and he was indeed Rfrst-rate
good man. He vas first in WAT, first in
peace, and first in the hearts Of his country
men and, though he was in favor Of the
United States bank, he was a friend Of edu-
cation and from what he said in his fare
well address, have no doubt he would have
voted for the tariff Of 1s48, if ho had been
alive, and hadn't ha' died sometime before
hand. His death was considered, at the
time as rather premature, on account Of its
being brought on by a very hard cold. @.
Now, Mr.. Speaker, such being the eharae-
Ter Of General Washington, I motion that
we wear Grape around the left arm Of this
Legislature, and adjourn until tomorrow
morning, as an emblem Of our respects for the
memory Of S. Higgins, who is dead, and died
Of the broEn-creaters yesterday in the fore
noon.

MISSOURI CONvENTION.

JLEILHaUN DILI1 J ULI u

An ordinance to enable citizens Of the State in
military service Of the United States, State Of
Missouri to vote, was taken up, and on motion
made the special order for tomorrow morning
that the general elections shall be held on the
Sd Monday in October instead Of August.
