GEN. HYDE RE rAINED.
The Senate Names Him Among tho
Managers of National Homes.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The Senate today
resumed consideration of the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill.
Several amendments were agreed to, in
clucing one for an item of $4,000 for addi-
ton to the hospital at the Soldiegs' Home at
Togus, Me.
MIR. Allison expressed his regret that the
matter of the Appointment of managers was
found in the bill. The committee on appro-
priatiOns, he said, had always in these mat
ters consulted the committee on military af-
fairs, which was primarily responsible for
soldiers homes. Mr.. Hawley, the chairman
of the commission, had handed him, as he
could not be present today, an amendm ent
proposing the name of Lewis b. Gunckel of
Ohio. in place of Gen. Harris. who had re-
Gently died.
Mr.. Sherman spoke in complimentary
terms of Mr.. Gunckel, and also suggested the
name of E. S. Yoder, in place Of Steele, who
had been appointed Governor Of Oklahoma,
and might, therefore. be ineligible for man.
ager.
Mr.. Cockrell mentioned the fact that the
committee on miiit Try affairs had recon-
mended striking out the name of Farnham
of Maine and inserting that Of Mr.. Hyde, the
present member OF the board,
Mr.. Plumb inquired as to the reason.
Mr.. Cockrell replied that it was because
the committee believed it to be for the best
interests of the National Home, and because
it was the desire of the Senator from Maine.
Mr.. Frye stated that it was very unusual
in Maine for any member of the board to be
relegated to private life except for cause, and
added that both the Senators from that state
believed that Mr.. Hyde should be renomi-
mated, he was good business man and had
been prominent soldier.
After further discussion the amendment
was agreed to, modified by the insertion OF
the names of Mr.. Gunckel and of Mr.. Yoder.
The paragraph now appoints as managers of
the National Home Edmund N. Morrill, of
Kansas, for the unexpired term of John A.
Martin, deceased; Alfred L. Peason of Penn
sylvania, for the unexplred term of John +.
Hartranft, deceased. and Lewis B. Gunckel
of Ohio, for the uuexpired term of l.. A.
Harris, deceased; VIM. B. Franklin of Con-
necticut, Thomas w. Hyde of Maine, John
G. Black of Illinoise and Samuel S. Yoder Of
Ohio.
The question of the proposed Latin-Amer-
ican memorial library which had been
passed over without action some days ago
was taken up, the question being on Mr.
Hawley's motion to amend it by striking
from the bill the provision for building to
cost $500,0 and by substituting provision
for section of the library of Congress to be
known as the Latin-American Memorial
Library, and appropriating S25,000 for its
outfit. The motion was agred to and the
amendment adopted. The bill then passed.
