tbs BILL WHICH passed the House and
Senate last session to create the Office of
Secretary of Agriculture has now been in
conference three weeks or more, and 1t
looks as If the Democratic conferees will
delay action until 1t is too late to put the
bill through to be approved by Mr..
Cleveland, thereby causing all the work
that has been done to be done oyer again.
When the bill originally passed the
House the Signal Service Office was at
tached te it, but the Senate cut that out
and the bill passed without an amend
mept,
II was then sent back to the House
and conference ordered. The Demo-
Gratis now want to put the Geological
Survey and the Fish Commission under
the control of the new office to be Gre
ated. Major Powell has been sent for to
appear before the conferees to give his
views on the proposed change.
The Democracts will, in all probability,
insist on the Geological Survey amend
ment until business has reached that
stage In the House when 1t will be i'm
possible to consider any legislation other
than appropriation bills. From present
indications President Harrison will
have to wait at least ayear before he can
have the appointment Of an additional
Cabinet officer which Mr., Cleveland had
he been reelected would have had on
the 9TH Of March.
