Sir Charles Tupper to read a private tele-
gram to him, Smith, regarding Green
ways willingnessssto 20 to Ottawa to con-
r.with the Dominion government on

unlikely that the premature action Of
Tupper will prevent any conference or
settlement. The Greenway government
feels it Is being manipulated to help pull

Washington, March 11.-Senator Frye,
who has introduced bill to create de-
partment OF commerce and manufactures

thought the necessity for such a meas
ure existed. The bill enlarges the cabi-
net by the appointment Of an additional
secretary and takes from the State De-
partment a portion of it's duties and from
| the Treasury Department all it's corr g.
spondence that relates entirely to COM
merce, it's protection and development,
such as life saving service, light house
board, marine hospital service, steamboat
inspection, bureau Of navigation, coast
and geodetic survey, bureau of statistics,
! etc.
| The bureau of statistics of the State De-
partment are merged with the same bu-
reau in the Treasury Department.. Both
bureaus are placed under the new depart
mant. The consular officials and COM
mercial agents are tran nsferred from the
State to this proposed department..

On invalid pensions will scrutinize these

in the subject must have noted the very
small number OF pension bills that have

served for the Friday night sessions, and,
as there is rarely a quorum present on
these occasions. it is the common practice
for the Southern Democrats to detail one
of their number every Friday TO attend
such session for the sole purpose of block

absence of a quorum. The Indiana men,
