FEE SYSTEM is ABOLISHED
THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIA.
TION BILL PASSES THE SENATE.

Washington, March 28.-At the close
of the day the senate pass-d the legis-
lative appropriation bill, carrying $751;
100000. Aside from providing the usual
appropriations, the bill is important in
effecting a reform in the system of
compensation for the United States dis
trict attorneys and marshals, salaries
being substituted for fees.
When the legislative appropriation
bill was taken up, the pending question
was the motion of Mr.. Sherman to
strike out all provisions relating to the
change. Mr.. Villas (dem., Wis., offered
a further amendment proposing uni
form salary of $4,000 to district attor-
neys, except that the southern district
of New York is to be left as it is at
present and giving $4,000 for the large
districts of Massachusetts, eastern
Pennsylvania, eastern Louisiana,
northern Illinois and northern Cali
fornia. Mr.. Allison (rep., Ia.) opposed
the practice of placing riders on ap
preparation bills, but he regarded this
reform as exceptional and desirable
At the close of the discussion, Mr.
Villas amendment was defeated On a
viva voce vote. A roll call followed on
Mr.. Sherman's amendment and it was
defeated-1S to 30

announcement Of victory over the ap-

interested in private bills. The house
then went into committee Of the whole
for the consideration of bill on the
private calendar.

NEW YORK, March as,-The
presidential boom of New York city
for Mckinley was launched at

Major Jerome introduced, as
chairman of the meeting, General

said, had been called to make plain
to the people and to the delegates
to the convention about to be held
that the second choice for president
was William Mckinley. Governor
Morton, he said, had rendered val
liable service to the state.
Some of the audience hissed at
the mention of Morton's name, but
General Swaine stopped this in a
hurry. He said that the governor
deserved TO be cheered, AM that
the machine in the republican party
was none of his making. He add
ed that it had been hoped that the

Late News Notes.
INTERESTING NEWS OF THE
DAY.
Elections of Senator's.

aSnlnSt ION, MarCn 2O.-MltCh-
ell of Oregon today reported to the
senate from the elections commit
tee the joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the constitution
providing for the election of sena-
tors by direct vote of the people.
The committee, says the accompa-
nying report, has approached the
subject of the proposed change in
the method of electing senator's
with . full appreciation Of the gray
ity OF the subject and of the public
interests involved.
The objections which are raised
to the proposed change are discuss
ei fully. The amendment, it is
held, does not in the slightest de-
gree trench upon the system upon
the system upon which our govern
ment is founded. The objection is
not tenable that any proposed
change in the mode of electing sen-
ators can be properly regarded as
an attempt to deprive the states, re-
spectively as states, in the sovereign
or political capacity, of their legal
representation in the senate. It
proposes change in the mode
only this and nothing inore-by
which the states, respectively, and
the people thereof, shall choose
their representation in the senate.
Why, asks the report, are not the
people, the qualified electors of a
state, the proper mouthpiece of the
state in the election of senators?
And, if entitled to speak, then why
not directly and for themselves and
not through their representatives in
state legislatures?
One weighty and principal objec-
ton to the present system of elect
ing senators, says the report, is that
the power and right of the individ-
ual voter are hedged about and cir
cumscribed; his will is manacled;
he cannot vote for his choice. II
carries with it the implication that
the people, the qualified voters, are
for some reason, unfit for the full
exercise of the elective franchise.
Again, it is held that the proposed
amendment is an enlargement of
the right of suffrage on the part of
those entitled to its exercise under
existing laws, and it tends to rem
der impossible the use of improper
methods to influence senatorial
elections.
While it is possible the induce.
ments Of a wealthy and unscrupu-
lous aspirant for senatorial honors
may reach and influence the major
| ity of a small body in the legisla-
ture, such thing would be impos-
sible were the decision left to the
great mass of the voters.
Another unanswerable objection
to the present system Of electing
senators is the great length of time
frequently consumed in the election
and consequent distraction Of the
Legislative minds from business, to
say nothing Of the strife, ill-feeling
and contention which too often fol.
low in the wake cs such contests.

TILE KAISER,S COURT.

ping and. anonymous attack. the in
trigue. the vulgarRty and the immoral
ity that are features in Emperor WILL
Jams court circle bid fair to surpass
the conditions that disgraced France
i'm the first and the third empires.
Scandal involving the retainers at
Berlin is constantly manifesting itself
in new phases. This mornings news
tells of a duel which is one of several
that have lately involved an individual
who was at one time in many of the
privacies of the royal household. Less
than a week ago a trustworthy foreign
correspondent told a New York news
paper that the emperor and some of
his near relatives were Offering about
half a million marks for the suppress
sion OF the publication in Paris of a
book i'm which a mass Of scandal in
volving royalty in Berlin is retailed.
The racy account of the emperor's per-
sonal quarrels with his wife's imme-
date relatives is not old. Only a few
weeks ago. Berlin talked as loud as II
dared to talk about the prodigal career
Of the emperor. and hints came of the
embarrassment in which he found him
self because of certain alleged liaisons.
1t appears that every body in the inn
perial coterie is either a spy or a sus-
pect or both. 1t is notorious that some
of the best and oldest families in the
German nobility have absolutely with
drawn from attendance at court func-
tions. With the rest, the police service
spends it's energy in dragging to jail
those who by word or look or wink ex-
pose themselves to the suspicion that
possibly they are critics of the puffed-
up prince who wants to rule like some
medieval potentate.
A social and moral revolution has
been wrought within the city of Berlin
within ten years and. contrary to the
rule, II has worked backward. I'm
doubtedly. II the reigning emperor lives
long enough, he and his house will
come TO an accounting.

Speaker Reed need not undertake to

How did IL happen that the Rhode

outset, the assurance was that Mr..

Rhode Islands preferences as to can

sentiment of republicans in that state
respecting the currency question. I'VE

yesterdays convention; and that's true
enough. The republicans at Providence
declared for the gold standard, and
they demand that the agitation for sill

will magnify the fact that Rhode Island
is a little bunch of acres with less peo-
pie all told than the population of Bal

Mr.. Carlisle wrote: II am much more
