FOR THE LIBRARY.
Money Recommended by the House
Appropriations Committee.

Money Recommended by the House
Appropriations Committee.
The House committee on appropriations,
in the legislative, judicial and executive
bill. reported today, provides for the MAIN
tenance of the new Congressional Library.
The appropriations committee ignored the
recommendations made by the joint COM
mittee on library for new legislation in re-
gard TO the library, and with respect to
changing the present method of selecting
employees of the library.
Incident to the removal of the library of
Congress to the new building, for its care
and management, and that of the building
provision is made for 1877 officers and em-
ployas, at an aggregate annual salary of
$l17,9OO. This is an increase AZ the number
OF persons in the present employ os the
library of LA, and of $I22, $50 in the annual
compensation.
The force, as provided for in the bill, is
in accordance with the estimates submit
ted to Congress, except that the salary of
the librarian is Increased from $4,000 to
$4,OOo is provided for, and, in accordance
with the recommendations of the joint
committee On the library, nine additional
employees with salaries aggregating $40 500
are provided for the catalogue department,
and a messenger at $40 for the force of
the custodian of the building.
Members of the joint committee on the
library wculd not discuss today the ac tion
of the appropriations committee. It is ap-
pretended, however. that the joint com
mittee is disappointed that none of the
legislation recommended by them for the
new library was embodied in the legisla-
tive bill. meeting Of the joint commit
tee will be held Thursday. when the mat
ter will be thoroughly discussed and It
will be decided whether the committee shall
present to Congress separate bill en-
bodying the result of their recent inyesti-
cations.

GERMANY's SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Consul Mason Reports 1t fs in n Very
Bad Way.

consul Mason Reports 1t fs in n Very
Bad Way.
Unless relief can be had soon from the
reichstag the entire sugar industry of Ger
many is likely to be organized for self pro-
lection into gigantic syndicate or trust
with the purpose of regulating production
and controlling prices. This is the view OF
United States Consul Mason at Frankfort
set out in an elaborate report to the State
department upon the present state of the
sugar industry in Germany. Only last May
a law was enacted to help out the sugar
growers and makers, as this is now the
only remaining field of profit for the Ger
man farmer The act was passed at the de-
nland OF the agrarian party, yet already the
sugar makers are appealing to the reichs-
tag Ito rescue the sugar producing inter-
ests from the consequences of the very act
passed for its salvation" and which have
presented themselves promptly and in a
most serious form. Mr.. Mason tells how
the act has failed, and instead of limiting
production, has had the very opposite ef-
feet. The increase of the export bounty
has also reduced the price of sugar in for
eign markets. and the German farmer re-
ceives no more than he did before the in
crease while the government loses heay-
1ly. Then, too, France and other Europea n
nations have responded by an increase of
their export duties, which in q large meas
ure neutralizes the benefits Of the Germa n
increase, and altogether the situation. SO
lar as the sugar interests are concerned is
as bad as II well could be.

THE VENEZUELAN TREATY.
Reported Objection on the Ground nj
Misrepresentation Not Valid.

misrepresentation Not Valid.
1t has been reported that the Venezuelan
government has objected to the Anglo
American agreement in regard to the Ven
ezuela boundary dispute on the ground that
1t makes no provision for Venezuelan repre-
sentation on the commission. According to
officials of the State Department there is
no force In this objection, for the reason
that there is nothing in the instrument to
prevent the appointment of citizen of
venezuela as member of the commission.
Under the terms of the agreement two
members of the commission are to be an
pointed by the English high court Of tus-
tlce and two by the United States Supreme
Court. In neither case is the selection con-
hned to the members of the judicial BODY
nor Is IT confined to residents of Great
Britain and the United States In this view
OF the case 1t is said that the probabilities
are that the appointments made by the
United States Supreme Court will include a
member of that body and a prominent
member of the judiciary of Venezuela. II is
further asserted that an intimat1on to this
erect was given by Secretary Olney to Min
lster Andrade before the latter's departure
Tor Caracas. 1t would therefore seem that
there is no good ground for a failure 10
fatiry the treaty for the reason stated.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
1t Has Been Sold to Mr.. Stilson Hutchins,
Who Has Assumed Charge.
Brief Sketch Of the Career of the
Paper and Its Relations With
Labor ORGANIZATIONS.

The DailyMorning and Evening Times was
purchased this morning by Stilson Hutch
ins, possession being delivered by MIR. c. G.
Conn just before the issue of the evening
edition. Mr.. Hutchins. in response to in
quiries. said he had not yet determined on
any policy or changes. Hon. John H. Ober-
ly, formerly Indian commissioner, has been
placed in charge, and it is understood will
have prominent connection with the paper
Mr.. Hutcnins has been out of active Jour-
? ralism for eight years, since he sold the
Post, but 1T has been generally believed
among the fraternity that all he needed
was an attractive invitation to resume for
NAL operations.
The Papers Career.
The Times was established in the early
Part of 1894 as cooperative institution
those interested being mainly printers. 1t
received large support from labor organ
izations. Mr.. Marshall Gushing was editor
ana MIR. Herbert j. Browne acted as busi-
ness manager. The career of the paper
was a stormy one, and the control finally
passed TO Mr. c. G. Conn of Elkhart, Ind,
VINO mas conducted it on the same general
Lines. In August, 1885, an evening edition
was inaugurated. 1t is understood that the
venture has not been profitable one to
Mr.. Conn, and that the selling price was
much less than the amount he had invested
In the paper Some months ago a mortgage
on the property for approximately S120,OOO
In favor of Mr.. Conn was recorded
Mr.. Conn assumed to represent the Ia
Dor interests of the District, and went So
far as to enroll himself and his staff in an
assembly of the Knights of Labor. Re
Gently. however. he became embroiled with
the lator leaders and was quite bitter to-
ward some of the very men he had before
claimed to represent.
The Rights of the Minority.
District Master Workman w. H. G. Sim
mons. who is one Of the largest minority
stockholders of the Times, said this after
noon that he knew nothing whatever about
the terms of the sale, but understood that
the rights of the minority had been pro-
tected in the transfer of the property.
What Mr.. Hutchlns Says
Mr.. Hutchins said this afternoon to a
Star reporter that ne did not know vet
whether he would continue the publication
of both editions of the Times or not, as he
had not had an opportunity to look into the
details sufficiently to determine that ques-
ton. He had. however, decided to remove
the business office to the Hutchins build
ing, 10th and d streets, the other offices
remaining in their present quarters.
