WASHINGTON, May G.-The section of the bill pro-
viding new form OF government for the District of
Columbia. winch provoked the most discussion to-
day was that in regard TO the election OF two CON-
nssoners of the District, one by the House Of Rep
rescntatives and one by the Senate. Each of the
commissioners was required to have been resident
of the District of Columbia for the period Of ten
years. and to be the owner of $4,000 worth OF real
estate here.
Many of the Republicans objected 10 this section
on be ground that it was unconstitutional. Congress
is given bv the Constitution exclusive legislative
risliction over the District Of Columbia hut ii
was asserted by Republicans that this clause of the
Constitution does not give TO Congress the right 50
make appointments. Another constitutional Obicc-
ton TO the provision was that the President Is
authorized 10 appoint all officers of the United
States and that Congress has no right by an a., to
take that power away from the President II was also
objected that the property qualification aud that re-
Ouirng ten years residence in the District, un
republican and not III harmony with the general
spirit Of American institutions The former OF these,
reGuiringa property qualification, was stricken out.
but the latter was amended so as to read five years.
The debate on this section under the liye-ninute
rule continued for about an hour and a half; and
the section was finally adopted az reported by the
committee, with the exception of the amendments
already mentioned. by vote of nearly two 10 one
