The amendment fixing the duty ON
fannie acid at GO cents was then agreed
to by vote OF 80 to Ii.
on the next, the Jones Amendment
increasing the duty on tartaric acid
from 10 to 20 per cent. the vote failed
TO develop quorum by one vote. The
Republicans all voted for the amend
ment. A call OF the senate rallied two
more than quorum. however. al
though It was evident that he senate
was thinning out
Mr.. Plat suggested. as II was satur-
DAY afternoon and the senators had
had very hard week. that Mr. uor-
ris should yield to en- adjournment
but the Tennessee senator in charge
OF the bill said he thought II was hts
duty to persevere. owing to the SLOW
progress that the senate was making
and try to dispose of some few am md
ments at least. The Jones amendment
was agreed upon without division. but
on the next vote, to change the duty
from 20 per cent to a specific duty OF

Valorem in the house bill. The Jones
amendment increased the ad valorem

MI Jones arose and withdrew the
Increase, saying It was unnecessary
Mr. Aldrich insisted that It was. where.
upon Mr. Jones declared that he would
grant the 20 per cent Increase II the
Republicans would agree to 1t without
debate air. Aldrlch was disposed 10
accept this proposition. but Mr.. Chand.
Ter said he would decline to do so. Such
action on the part OF Mr. Jones, he
declared. was absolutely iraxplcable
He presumed the Arkansas senator had
reasons for presenting his amendment
originally. Today he suddenly with.
drew 1t and moment later offered
to give 1t back to the Republicans as a
bride II they would not debate IT, He
was opposed to such methods. Never
theless. he offered no objection to taxi
ing vote, and the so per cent was
agreed to without division Mr.. Jones
presented another amendment to the
next paragraph to change the duty on
aluminium In its various chemical forms

oitic duty Of 4-l0 Of a cent per pound.
Mr. Aldrlch moved an amendment to

Washington, May decentralization
Of the naval appropriation bill con-
sumed the time OF the house after the
disposal Of some routine business until
adjournment.
Among the bills and resolutions re-
ported and appropriately referred was
resolution reported by Mr.. McGann.
Dem, of Illinois. chairman OF labor.
in lieu Of one heretofore offered for
the appointment OF a committee to In
quire into the business depressions to
give employment to idle laborers, to re-
strict emigration and for other pur.
poses. 1t was placed on the calendar.
The resolutions provide for the APP
pointment OF a congressional commit
tee of seven, three senators and four
members Of the house. 1t Is to be the
committees duty to investigate and re-
port TO congress within thirty days the
cause of the industrial depression re-
sponslble for so much distress through
out the country. and what Legislation
will induce and preserve Industrial and
financial conditions that viii offer
speedy. permanent and lucrative en-
ployment to the citizens OF the United
States.
Consideration OF the naval approprla-
tee of the whole.
A long and interesting discussion
was precipitated by the Offering Of an
amendment by Mr.. Maddox OF Georgia
providing that no part of the money
appropriated for the naval academy
should be used for the support or edu-
cation Of naval cadets, who, at the
time Of their appointment were not ac-
tual residents OF the congressional dis
trict they were appointed to represent.
The debate developed the fact that
there We're between thirty and forty
cadets who were appointed by the Sec
rotary OF the navy In the failure OF
members OF congress to nominate ca
diets. and who were representing
districts Of which they We're not resi-
dents The adoption of the amend
ment would entail the discharge of all
those cadets.
Mr.. Cummings introduced a substi-
tute requiring the secretary OF the navy
in the failure OF a member of congress
to nominate cadet to MI tho vacancy
TO appoint cadet who shall be a res
ident of the district from which he Is
appointed.
The adoption of this substitute would
not require the discharge OF the IL
legally appointed cadets. but would
prevent the repetition Of the practice.
No action was taken on the amend
ments for want OF a quorum.
Two other amendments were agreed
to. one appropriating $4,000 for tug
at Mare Island navy yard. California,
ana the other appropristing ss15c for
the construction OF a bulkhead al the
naval asylum at Philadelphia.
At 4:25 the house adjourned.

WILL SHAKE THEM UP SOON.
THE GOVERNMENT rpoors ~
TEXAS WILL CHANGE POSTS.



1t is understood that general
changing around OF the government
troops located In the various posts in
this state will occur In short time;
In fact, though the official order TO
move has not been made public. the
disposition OF the various regiments
is Wen known to those esoterlc In mill
tary affairs. The following changes
will be made.
The Twenty-third infantry. now sta
toned at Fort Sam Houston, will be
moved. six companies going to Fort
Clark, near Brackettsville, one COM
pany to Fort Mcintosh. Laredo and
one company to Fort Ringold. near
Rio Grande city. All OF these posts are
on the Mexican frontier. The Eight
eenth Infantry, which has occupied
these posts will go TO Fort Sam Hous-
ton and Fort Bliss, near FL Paso,
maintaining Fort Bliss as headquar-
ters
Col, Wade and headquarters win go
with the Fifth cavalry to San An
tonic.
This change will involve consider
able transferring Of men wishing to re-
main in the present posts, and create
q demand for recruits 10 NIL vacancies
Lieut.. ]. A. Dapray. regimentnl re-
cruiting officer OF the Twenty-thlrd in
fantry, whose office Is in this city. was
asked for Information concerning the
character and number Of men who APP
piled for enlistment, and Of the cause
Of the recruiting station being located
In Fort Worth. He gave some inter-
estlng Information.
According to the Army and Navy
Register, there will have To be enlisted
during the next fiscal year 10000 men
TO MI vacancies which are expected to
occur. These vacancies will be caused
by desertion, deaths. sentences. dlsa-
billties and discharge. II IL calculated
that about $500 OF these places viii be
filled by enlistment at posts. which
enlistments will be without expense to
the government The others will have
to be obtained from the various re-
cruiting stations at an expense Of SIS ~
a man. So the government will be at
an expense OF about $4,000 to M these
vacancies.
In speaking OF the applicants for en-
listment here Lieut.. Dapray said that
though the number Of applications fell
on during the warm weather. the num-
Der OF applications was large enough
to select good men Taking AN average
about 20 per cent of applicants We're
rejected, as the examination Of charac-
ter. physical condition. etc was very
rigid,
The station here Is what is known
as regimental recruiting station and
is different from the others in that the
men enlisted are sent direct to the
regiment which establishes It instead
Of general rendezvous. This system
is recent experiment, being about
three years old. hut has proved very
successful The regiments establishing
them rarely ever having to leave the
section Of country they are stationed
in to obtain all the good men desired,
The Twenty-third infantry establish
ed their stations In various cities in
Texas, but after Its establishment in
Fort Worth they have kept It here Tor
the reason that It obtains n better
class or men than anywhere else.
The possibilities are that Lieut. Da-
pray will establish branch station in
