THE "DOCKlNG" OF MEMBERS.
Sergennt-at-Arms Snow Tells of the
Confusion That Will Result.

Speaker Crisp today authorized Sergeant
alarms Snow to make public the new form
of cert. fcate by which the old law in dis
use for thirty years, Is revived, and the
pay of members is ''docked" for absentee
ism. The member cei titles to the number
of days he was absent during the month,
and the Speaker certifes to the amount due
him. Mr.. Snow said concerning the new
system: II feel that 1t must result in much
confusion and friction, yet as the law ex-
lists. and the House wants me to execute 1t,
will do so. There will be many difficulties
in keeping the accounts, and members will
necessarily be subjected to much inconven-
fence. At present members draw cash from
the cashier, or else make drafts, through
the banks, en- the balances with us. Now,
II a member in New York draws us
through a local bank, the draft will be
presented to us on the fourth Of the month,
which is pay day for the preceding month.
But at that time will not have the
members signed certificate showing the
amount due him. The certificates cannot
be made until the last moment, as the de-
duction for absenteeism may occur on the
last day. Then II is not within the bounds
of possibility for 356 members of Congress
to make out their certificates at the mo-
ment they are wanted. After that they
must go to the Speaker for approval. AS
result 1t will be difficult and perhaps i'm
possible to keep run of the balances. /
can't see how we can keep drafts and
checks made by members through banks
from going to protest. 1t will be salts
factory thing to have a dozen or more
drafts going to protest at time, with the
attendant Inconvenience and injury to the
bank credit of members. Still, If the House
wants this system resumed. / will execute
1t to the best of my ability. The first de-
ductiors will be made on the 4th of next
MONTH"
Cashier Ballantyne anticipates de-
moralization of his balances, and is at less
to know how they can be kept so that
members can be paid, personally or by
their drafts, with any assurance that they
are not being over-paid. 1t sweeps away
every vestige of the fsvors and the ease of
payments with which the office has here
tofore tried to facilitate the money dealings
with members.

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
To Extend the Columbian R.R.


Mr.. Meredith Of Virginia has introduced
a bill in the House TO authorize the extern
sion of the Columbia Railway Company.
The bill provides for single or double
track road, beginning at the present sermi-
nus. at the intersection of IL street north
east and 18th street east: thence along the
Rladensburg road to the dividing line be
tween the District of Columbia and the
state Of Maryland, so that the outer rail
shall not be more than five feet from the
eastern boundary of Bladensburg road: and
beginning also at the intersection of II street
northeast and 18th street east; thence Tlong
18th street east and 18th street extended to
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad:
and beginning also at the present terminus;
thence along the Benning road to Benning
station, with authority to construct a tres
tie bridge across the Eastern branch.
The bill makes no provision for motive
power, but stipulates that the running of
cars and maintenance of the road shall be
subject to all the requirements Of the origi-
raj act of Incorporation of the Columbia
Railway Company.
As TO Public Hearings.
The House District committee intends 20
make a change in the matter OF public hear
ings. The committee has given a number of
hearings this session in cases where the
Commissioners had previously given hear
ings. and has come TO the conclusion that
a great deal of the time thus consumed is
wasted, it is taken up in interminable
talking, interfering with action. There are
several hearings set for the next week or
ten days, as stated in The Star; and after
these are concluded the committee will, in
cases heretofore heard by the Commission
ers, request citizens TO submit their views
in writing upon matters before the COM
mittee which they desire to discuss. The
committee believes that in this way a
clearer idea of the views of the citizens can
be obtained and with a valuable saving Of
time.
