hopeful of accomplishing good results In

The financial leaders Of the House ex-
pressed hearty approval OF the cable sent
by Senators to the Lord Mayor OF London.
Representative Bland authorized the follow
ing statement concerning the bimetallic
conference at London: Il have never con-
sidered an international agreement Of suf-
icient importance to delay action by our
own government. / think We are able to
maintain our own system of bimetallism-
The efforts toward an international agree
ment In the past have been used as a pre-
text for delay. 1 have no doubt, however,
that the present movement Of European
countries is in good faith. and may lead TO
results. But that Is too remote to warrant
delay on our part for ourselves"
Representative Dingley: II heartily in
dorse the Views expressed in the cable

only means by which we can accomplish
the free coinage Of silver and gold. Great
Britain must be the moving factor in such

Signor Crispi said: The world is progress

now as IL was by Mazzini. and those In
the chamber who believe themselves to be
the vanguard Of opinion as regards foreign
policy are now in the rear guard" (Cheers)
Signor Imbriani, radical leader. replied TO
Signor Crispi. In the course of his remarks
he expressed disapproval Of the Prime Min
listers views, and asked: Who holds the
keys Of Italy's house?" For this he was
sharply called to order by the President.
Crispi then begged Pandolf TO Withdraw

HOUSE RULE.
Some Not Honest I'm Making
Ont Pay Certificates.

Out IA ScEtIucattSs
WASHINGTON, May 4-Congressional
salaries for the month OF April became due
to-day, so that members had their first ex-
perience with the new procedure Of dock
ing for absenteeism- Up to last night 213
members had filed thsir certificates showing
the number of days. If any. they had been
absent To-day about fifty more certificates
were put in, leaving about one hundred un-
accounted for. In the certificates thus far
received six days Is the greatest number
of absent days admitted by any member.
The "~dockage' for this at thirteen dollars.
s~ixty-nine cents and eight mills per day is
$2.19. The great majority OF the members
certify that they have not been absent at
all. and most of those who certify absence
limit the period to one or two days. At
this rate the total deductions will be small.
The congressman are showing much UNI
easineSs in making out the certificates, as
there Is nothing beyond their word Of honor

part Of their salary and yet are bound In
honor to report the days for which deduc-

The only excuse recogg-zed by law Is sick
ness. It is said that the certificates OF one
entire State delegation show not a day OF
absence. although three of the delegation
have been absent a considerable part of the
entire month and none OF them has claimed
to be sick. Care is being taken TO keep
from publication the individual names Of
members docked, as it might cause ques-
tons to be raised as TO the accuracy of the
amount deducted. Speaker Crisp and Ser
ge~ant-at-arms Snow are not going back of
the face OF the returns made by each MEM
Der. Many Of the certificates with doubtful
excuses were submitted to-day TO the First
Controller Of the Treasury. On May Is
all the certificates received will be filed
with the First Auditor OF the Treasury as
permanent vouchers.

the discouraging outlook for Kelly's indus

fires, no shouting of ''on TO Washington

prime cause of the general depression was
the continued scarcity of provisions. When

OF Extra Deputy Marshals.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The .Coxey
movement In the Northwest is already
putting the government to heavy expense.
To-day the Treasury Department submitted
to the House an estimate Of a prospective
deficiency of $4,000 for fees and expenses
of United States marshals. In asking the
treasury to submit the deficiency apprcpri-
alton to Congress Encouragement Olney
said: "At the present an extraordinary
kind of expense arises from bands of rest
less men in various sections Of the coun-
try seizing upon property in the custody
OF the United States court. Authorized
expenses are ALREADY goin nS on IN
an ind efinite amount of expenses has been
incurred and Is growing in Montana, and
other expenses may be expected for which
provisions should be made. 1t Is better TO
current expenses than to make application
for the amo:int after the expenses have
been incurred, because with money in hand
the marshals can secure more readily the
services of faithful posses for protection or
property; assistance in such cases might be
We're not assured of speedy payment. You
are notified of the probable necessity OF
this appropriation that action may be taken
by Congress in due time"
The reference to an expense OF $1,000 per
day at Washington undoubtedly refers to
the State of Washington and not the ma
tiOnal capital. The Treasury Department
has also submitted to the House additional
estimates for deficiencies for the use of the
current year, viz: Fees OF witnesses, $780,
of marshals. $4,000; legal services to the
United States, 1000.

Opuored to the Rule.

WASHINGTON. May Representative
w. A. Stone to-day submitted to the House
a minority report on the question submit
ted by the jud eiary committee as to the
docking of salaries OF members for alb
senteeism. The majority report upheld the
old law under which deductions for alb
senteeisms are now being made. Mr..
Stones report reviews the laws bearing on
congressional salaries. and concludes that
Section 40, under which deductions are
made. has been repealed by implication.
IL is further commended that even if Section
40 is still in force the deduction should be
on the basis of a congressional salary of
5000 per year, which was the amount
paid when Section ~ was enacted. In con-
clusion. the report says I'VE therefore
respectfully submit that the Sergeant-at-
arms has no legal authority to withhold
from the members any portion of their
salary on account OF absence"

To REPEAL THE BOUNTY.
Mr.. Dockery Takes steps to Kill the
Sugar Industry.

WASHINGTON, May At has been
considered probable that in the course of
this session of the House there might be
an attempt to attach to one of the appro-
priations an amendment providing for the
repeal of the sugar bounty clause Of the
Mckinley act There has been so much
hesitation about this matter among the
Democratic member that il has been
taken as an indication that they had some
doubts about passing the tariff bill in the
Senate. To-day Mr.. Dockery introduced
the following resolution, which was re-
ferred to the committee on rules:
Resolved, That the committee on ways
and means is hereby directed to prepare
and report TO the House for consideration
in connection with the Legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, and the
