Cutting the Items In the River and Harbol

The Senate commerce committee today ap.
piled the pruning knife literally to the river

discussions in both Houses Of Congress re-
Gently led to this action, but however
that, may be, although the bill had
been reported to the Senate and wal
to be called up for action probably today, the
committee at the last moment decided that the

endless trouble and dissatisfaction that would
follow any effort to discriminate between the
various contracts and continuing appropriation
projects which it was determined should bear
the brunt Of the reduction adopted the course
OF reducing the appropriations Of all Of them rs

total appropriation made by the bill by

White. F. ID. Millett, H. Watrous. Thomas A.
Eakins, c. Coleman. H. r. Butler Mrs. Pandrau
Wheeler and Cora Wheeler Keith and Miss Kate
Field.
Miss Kate Field read a communication from
Albert Bierstadt. the distinguished artist, in
which he advocated the free admission of art
in strong storms. and said the United States was
the only country that levied a tax on works of
art. American art. he said. will not revive
in this country until the distractions to its true
progress are removed. and when art was made
free the cornerstone of q new prosperity would
be laid. Miss Field also read letter from j. O.
A. Ward advocating free art.
MIR. ]. Carroll Beckwith. president Of the Ma
tional Free Art League, spoke briefly on the
work OF the league and former legislation for the
advancement OF art. He, too, urged upon the
committee the necessity VI removing the tax
on art in order, as he said. to properly educate
our art students and save them the expense Of
going abroad TO pursue their studies.

American Artists, made general argument for

what was lacking was mainly the proper spirit
TIE WORK AMONG cRrLpnEx.
The bishop referred specially 10 the import
ance Of the work among children and said they
were neglected in not being encouraged TO come
into the church at an earlier age. He urged
that more time be given TO children. and he
spoke Of the possibilities Of the Sabbath school
and thought that the rectors should take an
active interest in this branch Of the churches
work. He plead for aggressiveness in the work,
doing i as the Master directed that il
should be done, and he spoke at some
care on the part OF minister.
in preparing classes for confirmation. He had
heard some ministers say that they did not be
lleve IN large confirmation classes. Tho dsy OF
Pentacost ought to be looked for and he wa:
sorry for those who doubted the value Ct such
an outpouring.
SOME STATISTICS.
The statistics OF the report showed that there
were now in the diocese les ministers. Fivs
have been added to the order of deacons and
to the priesthood.
Brief and sppreciative notices were giver
by the bishop Of the minister
who died during the year. tn,
Inst inclu ding the names Of Revs. Barnwell
Stryker, Stephenson, Pyne and Pyne. Their,
are now twenty-one postulants for candidates
orders. The special offerings received at hi
Visitation amounted TO $3.50. The bishop
fund amounted to about ss00.
TIE PROPOSED CATHEDRAL
Reference was made to the building Of . CO
thedrsl In Washington. Land and money &c
the amount Of $3.50 600 had been given. There
had been some criticism in regard 70 the loca-
ton. but IL would be some years be-
fore the cathedral could be built and
by that time he believed the location would b<
quite near the center OF Washington. In IL
present phase the enterprise needed no action
at the present convention: Those having
the ground and getting ready to
60 on with the work as soon as the funds are
secured. The bishop spoke Of the importance
OF the cathedral idea and said, that il
was intended not to be a mere
local enterprise, but one that would
be diocesan in its scope. He expressed
the hope that the enterprise would have the IA
vorsblc consideration OF all the members Of the
convention.
REcoxAESpArroSs MADE.
The bishop suggested that a committee o,
hve be appointed 70 confer with the trustees OF
st. James College with the view Of determin
ing whether the institution can be consolidated
with the house school made possible by the
benefactions Of Mrs. Wsrtield at Sikesville, Nd
The bishop recommended that owing to the
increase Of the work Of his office that he be al
lowed the services Of good man as clerk and
secretary.
The assistance such man could give would
be Of more value than what an assistant bishop
could bring to the aid Of the bishop.

the vestry and rector of st. Matthews Church,
Oakland. Md, and the bishop spoke at length of

In the death Of Willis Collins, which occurred
last Sunday, in the seventy-eighth year Of his
age, Washington, and particularly the section
known as the first ward, has lost q unique and
striking figure connecting this generation with
times before the war. In him was embodied
all that was amusing and pleasing in the char
acter Of the old southern negro. Fortunately
his lot was cast with humane and indulgent
masters and he ever retained kindly recollec-
ton of slavery times. To disclnim an acquaint-
ance with "Uncle Willis Collins" was to admit
ones self unknown, for he was ''uncle" to all in
the section named, white and black alike. He
always had an apt and pleasant word at COM
mand, whether . compliment to lady upon
her youthful appearance or something Of SIM
liar character. "'Deed, miss, you looks younger
every day sees you" was q favorite salutation
Of his. For thirty years or more he was en-
ployed by families to do odd jobs and was ever
faithful and efficient. No one could cut grass,
shake or put down carpets, train roses, look
utter furnace or put in coal with less dust and
noise than Uncle Willis. Not only this, but in
the. gnmmer Thousands Of dollars' worth of
property was annually left in his keeping and
his vigilance and honest execution Of his trust
we're never questioned. He was Q consistent
member OF the Baptist church.

NO TROLLEY WIRES.

Probable Actien OF the Senate Committee on
the Metropolitan railroad Resolution.
Senator Mcmillan and Clerk Moore Of the
Senate District committee visited the Offices Of
the Metropolitan Railway Company this morn
ing on tour Of investigation. The House
resolution extending the time before which the
company shall be compelled to change its
motor is in the hands Of the Senate committee
just now and Senator Mcmillan desired all at
tainable information az to the company's efforts
to bring about change before he submitted u
report on the resolution to the full committee,
something he will probably do on Friday. The
resolution will be badly mutiluted anyhow, for
the action of the Senate committee at its last
meeting knocked out every prop that stood be-
meath the trolley proposition in the northern
end Of the Capitol. 1t is not improbable that
the House resolution will be carefully laid away
on or beneath the table and that a new resolu-
ton granting simply an extension of time will
be passed by the Senate.

THE MINNEAPOLIS CONVENTION.
Why the People There Don't Want Amy Nom

Why the People There Don't Want Any Nom
ination on the First Ballot.
Cosby politicians around the Senate end
Of the Capitol today assert that Gen. Garrison
has good reason for looking dubious when
it is suggested that President Harrison
will be renominated by reclamation.
1t is also intimated that the
Minneapolis and st. Paul people are In accord
with him for purely business reasons. When
the twin cities joined hands to have the repub-
lican convention located in their midst they
raised large sum Of money to meet the neces-
sary expenses. This cash was contributed by
hotel and business men, upon the underestimate g
that the session of the convention be prolonged
as much as possible SO that the bread which was
cast upon the waters last November might re-
turn with butter on at least one side. With a
knowledge Of these conditions it is not difficult
to understand why Minnesotans shake their
heads and talk hopefully of every other possible
nominee than Gen. Harrison.
1t will readily be seen that il the impression
once got abroad that the convention would shut
up Immediately after the first ballot the crowd
in attendance would be comparatively small and
profitless.
