More Democrats Must Be on Hand II

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Until the demo-
orats are able to muster quorum in their
ranks they may meet with many stumbling
blocks in their way to final adjournment
The republicans are not in the path, but
they are not overzealous In removing OBJ
stacles which the third party may see fit to
place there. And the third party is rather
incensed over the refusal of the democrats
to allow them time to discuss (they do not
demand vote ON the sub-treasury
bill 1t is not strong enough in
itself to obstruot business, but It
is strong enough, seconded by republican
indifference and democratic absenteeism, to
delay legislation until it is permitted time
to discuss the measure which Is the keystone
Of its political arch. To-day, under the
lead of Representative Watson of Georgia
aud Representative Davis of Kansas, it
practically stopped the wheels of legisIa-
tion. The kilograms sent out by the SER
geant-at-arms demanding the return Of
absentees, seemed to be productive of some
little fruit, but still when the House
met at Ii O'Clock this morning there
was no quorum present. Before
the reading Of Fridays Journal, Represen-
tative Davis OF Kansas raised the point of
no quorum. Representative Belknap of
Michigan moved a call of the House, which
was ordered by vote of 73 to II. During the
call the laggards strolled in the chamber, and
at its conclusion 178 members more than a
quorum, had responded to their names.
Further proceedings under the call were
dispensed with and the journals of Friday
and Saturday were read and approved.

Walker had left her on FRI

she had first reported her story, knew
equally little of her wherabout. This dis
appearance caused sensation among the
big crowd that had surged into the court
room and packed 1t to the doors. The older
sister was put upon the stand TO testify
against her father. Her story did not
satisfy the judge of her fathers guilt, how

much surprise was manifested In the audi

An Increase of $36 900 Made In the
Legislative Bill
WASHINGTON. June 27.-The legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill, as
reported to the Senate, carries total of
s22, ,034, ,772, which is $351. .O2O more than the
total Of the House bill and $720, 900 less than
the estimates. The most important change
made in the bill by the Senate committee is
the restoration OF an appropriation of $50. 600
for the Utah commission, which the House
proposed to abolish. The other changes
made are nearly all of the same nature;
that is, reductions made by the House in the
estimates are made good by the Senate COM
mittee, as, for instance. the appropriation for
the salaries of the Senate officers and em-
ployes is increased $74, ,432. which is done to
enable the senators to retain the services of
their clerks, who are almost invariably
attacked by the House. The Senate con-
tingent fund Is increased by $l3, $50; the
fund for the expenses Of select committees
by $4,000; the appropriation for surveyors
general and their clerks by S21 ,040, and
finally the appropriation for the main
tenance Of the Carson mint is increased by
$42 500. The remaining changes are con-
fined TO small increases Of the salaries of
department employees and in rent for gov-
eminent offices.

Merchandise Brokers and Wholesale

Merchandise Brokers and Wholesale
Merchants at Outs.
ATLANTA, Ga. June N.-Some time ago
an agreement was entered into between the
merchandise brokers OF Atlanta and the
wholesale merohanta According to the
agreement, the brokers agreed to conflne
their sales to such merchants as were listed
as iobbers by the Wholesale Merchants
Association Of Atlanta. Ii was further
agreed on the part Of the wholesale mer-
chants that they should not buy from sellers
who solicit the trade Of retail dealers by
mail or by travelling salesmen. The agree
ment worked successfully for while. but
lately there has been a kiok on both
sides, The wholesale merchants claim
that the brokers have been selling
TO the retail trade and some have with
drawn. The brokers claim that some Of the
merchants have been buying from brokers
who have been selling to retail men. w nth
drawals from both sides have followed aud
more are likely to follow. which will break
up the association and precipitate a free
board fight. The refusal of some of the
wholesale merchants to buy from the
brokers who have sold To retail dealers is to
be met by boycott on the part Of the res
tail dealers against the wholesale men who
have boycotted the brokers.
