partments. A number of senators who
have homes here will remain during this

tion for state officers will be held in Min
nesota this year, but there are no distinct

next congress would be the establishment
of a department Of commerce. He says
that the department of the interior has be-
come thoroughly unwiPldy. 1t contains
to many subdivisions for the consideration
of any one man. Most Of the other depart
ments have become 50 well classified,
