u Il Said to BE Doing Some Good Work
Overhauling the Departments.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-There are some
indications of dissatisfaction with the
Dockery commission, the joint commits
sion of the senate and house appointed
to investigate the departments. Sena.
tor German has on two or three occa-
sions in the senate shown some impa-
thence concerning the reports of the COM
mission and its efforts to shape legisla-
ton, and other senators and members as
well have complained mildly with the
tendency Of the commission to
interfere with the work Of reg.
ularly constituted committees Of
the two houses. The commission is be
ginning, on this account, and because OF
the stir it is making in the departments,
to attract a share of attention which had
not attached to it until recently.
Has Unlimited Expense Money.
Those who have been gi-ing attention
to the subject find that the commission
has been given not only a big task to
overhaul all the departments, but that
it is authorized to draw upon the treas.
ury for unlimited expenses, without sub
hitting its accounts to any official, OF
without obtaining an appropriation
from congress. The committee now has
three experts employed, j. w.
Reinhart, president of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, being the
chief. His salary is not fixed, and it is
supposed that his remuneration will be
made to correspond with the services
rendered at the end of the work. The
names of the other two experts have
been placed on the treasury pay roll al
the rate of 5000 and $1,000 respec.
lively per annum. The work of the
commission is limited to the present
congress, but if it realizes the expecta-
tons of Chairman Dockery the work
will be we'll concluded by that time, and
it will be important enough, as will be
demonstrated by the results, to justify
all the expenses that it may occasion, as
well as to vindicate its originators and
friends. He expects to accomplish
many reforms in all the departments
and says the experts are doing excellent
work.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The Investors Re-

Of the best known authorities upon
finance, says:
"If the affairs of the Bank of England
are allowed to drift as heretofore since
the act of 1S46, it will end in a crisis
compared with which the Barring col
lapse will dwindle into insignificance.
We are driven to the conclusion by. the
result of many years close observation
of the bank, which has been forsaking
Its own published discount rate and
plunging into regions it does not under
stand. This draws second and third
class business whereby it sometimes
realizes nasty losses"

Baldwin Will Run Again.

ST. PAUL, Jan. A Pioneer Press
Washington special says: Congressman
Baldwin has decided to try his chances
for a second term in congress. Several
weeks ago he was disheartened and con-
cluded that politics was a delusion and
a snare. The endorsement he has been
receiving from some of his Democratic
friends IN account of his attitude on the
Wilson bill, however, has braced up his
courage and now he really seems to
think that he can be reelected.

1t Has Struck the Country Districts Of
Canada In Full Force.
MONTREAL, Jan. A plebiscite on
the question of prohibition was taken in
connection with the annual municipal
elections throughout the province of
Ontario. The returns up to midnight
were not complete, but reports so
far show a majority for prohibi-
ton in nearly every county heard from,
with the exception of the large cities,
where the Prohibition party also showed
great strength. For instance, in Ottawa
the English section gave a majority for
prohibition, whereas the French section
did the reverse. The Prohibition party
made a splendid fight, whereas the
liquor interests had no organization to
speak of outside the cities and largest
towns.

Windsor hotel.
The meeting was called to order about

thought best to have both the commit

state fully the object of the meeting.
The question of holding an early con-
vention of the State league was dis
cussed at some length.

breach of promise. The sultan's attor
ney objected that his client, being a rul-
ing monarch, could not be sued in Eng
land, but Miss Mighell's lawyer replied
that, inasmuch as the defendant had
lived in England privately as Mr.. Albers
Baker, he had disentitled himself sufi
GENTLY to be sued in England, and that
moreover, he was subject TO the authority
of the empress of India. The question
will be argued next month. london

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 4.-Secretary of
State Osborne narrowly escaped going to
Jail. Judge Hazen, in the district court,
in the libel case of Cyrus Leland of
Troy, Kan, against Osborne, sentenced
the defendant to $500 and costs. The
sheriff told Osborne he would have to put
him in Jail unless the fine was paid.
Osborne and his friends hustled around
and had Hazen withdraw the sentence.
The attorneys for Osborne appear to
have been negligent in not having the
papers ready for an appeal. Osborne
intends to take the case to the supreme
court.

Senator Hale Thinks the Bill VIII BE
Speedily Passed by the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Senator Hale,
In conversation, said he thought the
senate would take up the federal cleo
tons bill soon after converting, "and,"
he continued, ~ think it will be passed
with little delay and become a law at an
early day, as there is 40 doubt that the
president will sign it,"
twill not the Republicans" was
asked, make some effort to delay or
prevent passageT"
"They know it will be impossible to
prevent it, and they will not undertake
to secure delay, as that would accom-
plish nothing. With the first regular
session of the congress only fairly begun
and the majority united upon
the policy of passing the bill
any effort on the part of the
Republicans to attempt to accom-
plish its defeat by dilatory tactics would
be foolhardy. We of course recognize
the fact that the passage of this bill is
something OF. a revolution, and that in
way it marks the close of an era in the
nations legislative history. With the
repeal of the election laws the last of the
reconstruction legislation will be wiped
from the statute books. The Republic
cans, of course, protest. There will be
some speeches on the subject, enough tt
make the position of the party known
and have the country understand the
situation, and who is responsible, but
we will attempt nothing more. This j.
one OF the legitimate results of the Dem
ocratic victories of 1892, and will be &C
cepted as such by the country"
