WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The little Senate
always imposes on the big House in getting

legislative bill as 1t went to the Senate car
ried an appropriation of ST., 500 for salaries
for Senate COMMITTEES clerks andsmsssengers
against only $50, 400 for salaries for the
House COMMITTEES clerks and messengers. the
House getting $47, ,2S6 additional for thirty
seven per diem committee clerks, while the
Senate got S3l $50 for this class, which
it increased to $34 800. This did not con-
tent the Senate which, in the amendment
reported by its committee on appropria-
tions, increases the appropriation for the
salaries of its committee clerks and mes
sengers to SS4, 160 Incidentally. it also in
creases the number of laborers to be en-
ployed at the Senate from fifteen allowed by
the House to twenty-five. These extra sal
aries are for the relatives and dependents

service commission in place Of those now
detailed to that bureau from other depart
ments OF the government. The
committee also provides for an
increase from thirty to thirty-nine
in the number Of clerks to the senator's, aud
places them on the annual roll The require
ment that the carriage of the mails for the
two houses shall be by contract made to the

DaVSnpOrtS 6eappearanCe Gives Rise
to Talk of a Revival
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-The reappear--
auce of the furtive Johnny Davenport at
the capital to-day started rumor that his
co-laborer, Senator Hoar. would make q
last desperate effort to get the force bill
through the Senate before il Is forever too
late. The death Of Senator w iison aud the
absence Of Senators Brown Of Georgia aud
Voorhee u of Indiana, who left 90 day for
long stay at Hot Springs, Ark, leaves
the democrats three votes short, but there
is no way that Senator Hoar
can even attempt TO avail him
self of this without precipitating
an extra session, and his attempt could not
possibly succeed. The adoption of cloture
rule would be absolutely indispensable as a
condition precedent to even the considera-
tion Of the force bill. With the anti-force
bill republicans watching Senator Hoar like
80 many watch-dogs, there is no prospect
that he will be able to disturb the remains
