NATIONAL ELECTION LAW.

Republican Editors Requested to Urge Its
Passage in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Representative
Belden, Chairman Of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, has issued an address
to the Republican editors of the country on
the subject of the national election law.
The Republican party, he says. has pledged
the country in its platforms that it would
see to the execution of the provision of the
Constitution which guarantees every
lawful voter in the Federal elections
the right to deposit his ballot and have it
counted for the candidate of his choice. No
question of negro supremacy, no usurp1-
ton of Federal power is involved in the bill
which recently passed the House. 1t deals
only with national elections. The States
are properly left to work cut their own des-
TIMES through their own agencies. Why
should the bill not become law? The
House, faithful and active in the fulfill
ment of party pledges, Jealous in the
undaunted by diabOlical threats ard as
saults of the Democratic party, promptly
performed its duty by the passage of the
bill Now it only remains for the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate to emulate the
House and permit the President by his sig
nature TO ratify and register the will Of the
nation.
VIII the Senate promptly perform this
imperative obligation? Tie committee is
in possession of information showing a
concentrated effort on the part of the Dem
ocratic party to change the trend Of public
thought by poisoning the minds of the peo-
pie to the end that sentiment may be
manufactured that would deter Con-
gress from passing national cleo
ton law at this session. 1t is
believed that a favorable expression of
opinion at this juncture from the Republi-
can press all along the line would be as
70 rcible as timely, and inspire legislators
to the carrying out of their party pledges.
Win you not do your duty in urging that the
Senate shall respond promptly by the pas
sage of a measure which the House deems
essential to the purity of the elections of
its own members?

The Appropriation Eliminated From the
Sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Sundry Civil
Bill, as reported to the Senate to-day by the
Appropriations Committee, carries an ap-
preparation Of $31 ,241,s $50, an increase of
S3,1S1,060 over the original bill reported,
$685., 172 less than the estimates, and is
So, 944, 1913 more than the bill of last year.
The most important feature of the work
Of the Senate committee on this bill is the
elimination of the appropriation of S777,5O0
for the irrigation survey. This provision
was vigorously attacked by a number of
Western Senators, and they succeeded in
defeating it in committee. Their opposition
was based largely upon the ground that its
effect would be to reserve from the public
domain vast amount of public land which
should be open to settlement.
The appropriation for typographical sur
veys by the Geological Survey, however, is
increased from $4,000 to $500. 900. 1t is
provided that half this sum shall be ex-
pended west of the one hundred and first
meridian, and so much of the act of October
q 1885, as provides for the selection and
location of reservoirs and canals upon public
lands and reservation of irrigable lands is
repealed, provided the reservoirs and canal
sites heretofore located or selected shall re-
main segregated and reserved from entry or
settlement until otherwise provided by law.
An appropriation of 100000 was made
for the establishment Of a Latin-American
memorial library in the Library Building in
the city OF Washington, as recommended by
the Pan-Amerlcan Conference.

on board; one held papers and the other
was smail-footed woman. Said Collector
Phelps in speaking of this last named:
"a small-footed woman is never imported
for purposes of prostitution. They belong
to a class that, like Cesar's wife, must be
above suspicion. If il was attempted to
place one OF these women in house of that
sort it would cause riot in Chinatown
Indeed something of that kind did occur
some time ago. 1t was rumored in China
town that one of this special class had
been taken to such house, and the quar-
ter grew wildly excited. The rumor, how
ever, was found to be false"
