A BILL is before the legislature to
fix a conventional rate of interest
at ten per cent. This would be a
good law. It seems TO US that the
value of money should be fixed by
the demand that there is for it, the
same as any other piece Of property.
This will be an inducement for
money to come here from other
states, competition will be sharp
and a low rate of interest viii bt
the result.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Tt was reported at
the Capitol, this afternoon, that the Presi-
dent had referred the bill creating depart
ment out of the Bureau of Agriculture to
the Attorney-general, for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether it was constitutional;
that Mr.. Garland was committed against it;
that ex-Representative j. Randolph Tuck
er, of Virginia, who made violent speech
against it in the Forty-eighth Congress on
constitutional grounds. had had confer
ence with the President and stated that the
bill would be vetoed aad that the President
had privately indicated that he would not
approve of the measure. Chairman Hatch,
of the House committee on agricultur Q
went to the White House to see about the
report, and returned with the information
that, although the President has not fully
determined, the bill will become q law,
either by giving it his signature or permit
ting the constitutional ten days to expire
that the bill would be vetoed, number OF
Senators and Representatives wired prom
inent agriculturists to communicate their
wishes to the President in favor of the
measure. and many called ut the White
House about it this afternoon. Great pres
sure has been brought to bear to have the
bill vetoed, but the President has at no
time been inclined to disapprOve of the bill
unless he found constitutional objections
to giving it his signature.

FRERET's METHODS.

More Testimony Concerning Irregularities In
the Supervising Architects Office.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The investigation
of the affairs of the supervising architects
office was resumed to-day. Much testi-
mony was taken, showing, as heretofore
published, that contracts have been made
with outside parties for plans and specii-
cations for public buildings, and that some
of the employees of the Office expected to
share in the profits. One witness testified
that young Mr.. Freret, the son of the super
vising architect, was not an architect and
not skilled draughtsman. Sketches had
been made on tracing paper for the OF
tumwa, Ia, building, and handed over to
young Freret, who worked them up on
white paper in order to send them to the
Secretary for his signature. To the ques-
tion whether there was any necessity for
having these plans and drawings done out
side of the Office the witness replied in the
negative.
Mr.. Avery. of the architects Office, said
that he thought that the site of the Blng-
hamton, N. Y, building was very i'm
proper one; that it would be of advantage
to the government to sell the site and pro-
cure another one. He had said nothing TO
the chief supervising architect with refer
ence to this, although it was common talk
in the Office. The people of BinghamtOn
had protested vigorously against the selec-
tiop of the site
Mr.. Spooner asked the witness concern
ing the application of the civil-seryIce rules
in the office. The witness said he thought
Colonel Freret bad thrown obstacles in the
way of the application of those rules. He
lFreretl was opposed to them, and few
days before the rules were applied Colonel
Freret made several promotions in the of
flee. Among the promotions was that of a
Mr. Meem to be chief computer whose po-
sition was an important one, and who knew
nothing of the duties. In reply to .ques-
ton from Mr.. Spooner, the witness said he
thought it was a political exigency that
made it necessary for Bernard Gallagher to
finally get the contract for the Brooklyn
building. In regard to the promotion of a
man named Kinkel, the witness said that
he had been given several opportunities to
try the examination. On croSs-examina-
tion the witness said the site for the Bing-
hamtOn building was selected under ArclIi-
tect Bells administration.
Chauncy g. Graham, an architect in the
supervising architects office, said he had
done outside work on the plans for the
building at Tallahassee He at first re.
fused to do this, but on representation
being made to him that the Secretary o1
the Treasury approved the method, he con
sented to proceed with the work

cratic opponents of the Nicarauguan canal
bill who left the House yesterday after.

retary Whitney to Governor Hill are GEN.
suring themselves for doing so. A number
of them, too, are charging the Secretary
with doing a smart piece of lobbying in
favor of the measure by means of the re-
ception. 1t is generally understood that
the Standard Oil Company is at the back of
the Nicaraguan project. Oliver Payne. the
s Gbrpther-in-law of Secretary Whitney, is
near the head of the Standard Oil Company.
Most of the opposition to the bill has
come from the Democratic side of the
House and Senate. About fOur-fifths of
the Democratic members OF the House left
their seats, yesterday afternoon, went to
Mr.. Whitney's residence and spent from
two to three hours paying their respects to
Governor Hill and enjoying the lunch that
was spread. While the reception was in
progress, the conference report on the Mica
ragua canal bill was taken up and adopted.
Inasmuch as the Paynes, Hermann Del

large interests In the property, the bill
will undoubtedly be signed. The wrath of

An examination of to-day's Congressional

House are unaccounted for. All of the 9TH
ers are either recorded on one side or the
other or are paired. and had they all been

MINOR MATTERS.
Favorable Report on Joint Resolution
Favoring Suffrage for Women.

Favorable Report ON a Joint Resolution
Favoring Suffrage for Women.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the Consfitu-
tion declaring that the right to vote shall
not be abridged by the United States or
any State on account of sex, was favorably
reported to-day by Senator Blair. from the
select committee on woman suffrage. The
report recommending the adoption OF the
resolution, after reviewing the history OF
the woman suffrage movement and making
some comments upon the denial of the
right of suffrage TO women as an injustice
equal to that of negro slavery, concludes as
follows: "Unless this government shall be
made and dpreseryed truly republican, IN form
by the enfranchlSementOf woman, the great
reforms which her ballot would accomplish
may never be; the Generalization and dis
integration now proceeding in the body
polite are not likely soon to be arrested.
Corruption of the male suffrage is already
a well-nigh fatal disease. A republican
form OF government cannot survive half
slave and half free. The ballot is with
held from woman because men are not will
ing to part with one-half the sovereign
power. There is no other real cause for the
continued -perpetuation of this unnatural
tyranny. Enfranchise women, or this Re-
public will steadily advance to the same
destruction, the same ignoble and tragic
catastrophe which has engulfed all the
male republics of history. Let us estab:.

the Republic be perpetual"

REMOVING CHARGES OF DEsERTIoN.

A Bill Passed for the Relief Of Certain Sol
diers Who Failed to Get Discharge Papers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Senate to-day
passed. as reported from the committee on
military affairs, substitute for the general
bill recently passed by the House, remov-
ing the charge of desertion in certain cases.
The substitute provides that the charge of
desertion shall be removed from the record
OF any volunteer soldier of the late war
when it shall have been proved to the satis-
faction of the Secretary of War that
he served faithfully until the expira-
ton of his term of enlistment, or
until May /, 1865, having previously served
six months or more, who failed, by reason
OF absence from his command, to be mus
tered out and to receive an honorable dis
charge, or who was prevented completing
his term of enlistment by reason of wounds
or disease. The substitute also provides for
the removal of the charge of desertion from
the record of any volunteer or regular sol
dier in cases where, after the charge was
made, the soldier returned voluntarily to
his command and served out his term, or
where he was absent on account of wounds,
or died from those wounds.
The charge of desertion is to be removed
from the records of those who enlisted III
the navy or marine corps without obtain
ing discharges from the army, where the
re-enlistment was not for the purpose of Sc
curing bounty, provided that the absence
from service did not exceed four months.
and that the soldier served faithfully after
re-enlistment. Any soldier who, after de-
sertiOn, was restored to duty by compe-
tent commander, is not to be deemed to
rest under any disability In theprosecution
OF any claim for pension.
The Adjutant-general is to issue to any
soldier, under Sections and of this act, a
certificate of discharge When the charge
shall have been removed, the heirs of q
soldier are to receive the pay and bounty
due him; provided, that no pay or bounty
is to be allowed for the period during
which he was absent from his command, or
in cases where the soldier served less than
six months:
The charge of desertion is to be removed
from the records of soldiers who served IN
the Mexican war where the soldier served
out the time of his enlistment, or for six
months or more, or until July. 1913, and left
his command without receiving dis
charge, and where the soldier, after the
discharge was entered, voluntarily re-
turned and served out histime.
The provisions of the act are not to be
construed SO as to relieve any soldier who
left his command from disatfection or dis
loyalty, to evade hardships, or in the pres
ence of the army mot being sick or wound
ed), or while under arrest or under charges,
or in the case of soldier of the Mexican
war, who did not actually reach the seat of
war. al applications for relief under this
act are to be filed within three years after
July /. 1889. Tne Senate has asked an i'm
mediate conference on the bill.
