SENATE Special Session.

WASHINGTON, May H.
Mr.. kellogg called up his resolution calling
upon the heads of departments for informal
ton relative to clerks and employees in their
respective departments.
Mr.. Sherman opposed the resolution on the
ground that under the existing regulations
there was a register made up OF all officers and
employees OF the government which was.itself a
very expensive document. II contained the
information called for by the present resolu-
ton, with the exception of information relative
to the person or persons on whose recommend
alton the appointments were made. That in
formation would only give handle to enable
persons seeking Office to get out the men who
were valuable from long public service.
Mr.. Bayard agreed with Mr.. Sherman in OPP
posing the resolution, moved that it be referred
to the committee on printing.
Mr.. Brown contended that the object sought
by the resolution was prop er, but thought it
could be better attained by the resolution offer
ed yesterday by the Senator from Iowa INC
Dill)
Mr.. Kellogg argued that the information
asked for by the resolution was not contained
in the "Blue Book"
Mr.. Morrill, considered this matter as one of
minor importance What was of importance
was that the government should have efficient
officers.
The resolution was referred to the commit
tee on printing.
Mr.. McDill called up resolution offered by
him yesterday directing that hereafter there
shall be contained in the official register of
the United States information as to the Con-
gressional district from which each govern
ment employe is appointed
Mr.. Brown offered an amendment asking for
further information as to whether such en-
ployes are white or black. Race differ
ences should not make any difference.
The resolution and amendment were refer
red to the committee on printing.
Mr.. Hoar offered a resolution directing the
committee on elections to enquire and report
at the next session of Congress what measures
were needful to secure the ascertainment and
declaration of the result of election of Presi-
dent and Vice President Adopted.
The Senate at l went into executive session.
When the doors reopened at 555 the Senate
adjourned.
