The savagest critic OF the Salvation
Army can hardly carp az such showing

boarding for four months for a total Of
$50 A. or a fraction more than s. each pe-
month. and that without other salary:
when ne looks at such people as Ensign
S.nonsoa and his wife toiling hard and
patiently on a salary OF but little more
than sic month. and that without any
allowance for board, he must admit that
these people at Least are not ruled by a
iIlercenzry spirit

UNIMPoRTANT SESSION.
The Civil Appropriation Bill Passed by the
House.

Washington, April 2.-In the Senate to-
day the Delaware Senatorship case was
taken up, and Mr. George, Democrat of
Mississippi began the third days install
ment of his speech against the right of
Mr.. Dupont to scat. Mr.. George oon-
cluded his speech at 2. %. In summing
up he said that If the Senate admitted
MIR. Dupont, it would perform the act of
electing him, when the legislature Of the
state failed to do it. The Delaware case
went over without action.
TheIndian appropriation bill was report
ed from the committee on appropriations
by Mr.. Pettigrew, Republican of South
Dakota. who gave notice that he would
ask the Senate Monday to take it up.
The post office appropriation bill was
taken up. Mr.. Wo lcott, Republican Of
Colorado, offered an amendment to regu-
late the compensation OF postmasters in
sub-stations of cities.
On motion Of Mr.. Lodge, the City of
Cambridge, Mass, was excepted from
the operation of Mr.. Wolcott's amend
ment which was insert this proviso !:
Provided, whenever, by order OF the
postmaster general, any post office is con-
ooiiodldu Will any OluC6, SO as TO become
a station or sub-station OF the same, the
salary of the clerk in charge may be paid
out of the appropriation.
Mr.. German, Democrat OF Maryland,
said that he was against the principle
which enabled the postmaster general to
absorb all these small offices at his will
The men who shouted most loudly for
civil service reform, Mr.. German said,
were using the post Office consolidation
scheme, as powerful machine to accom-
plish political ends. Mr.. Villas, Demo-
crat of Wisconsin, favored the amend
ment. because it would improve the
postal service and because it proposed "a
gradual extension of the civil service
rules to the post office system. The dis
cussion OF the amendment was broken in
to to allow Mr.. Elkins of West virginia
to make an argument in favor of the
amendment for additional compensation
to the Oceanic steamship company for
carrying Australian mails. No action
was taken on either amendment and the
bill was laid aside.
The House joint resolution authorizing
the Secretary of War to prepare and sub
NIT estimates for the improvement of
Portland harbor, Maine, was passed.
The Senate then adjourned until Mon
day.
The House resumed consideration of
the sundry civil appropriation bill. After
considerable debate and after considering
and a9ting on some amendments, the
committee rose and reported the bill and
the amendments to the House with
favorable recommendation. Tho bill
passed and the House adjourned.

THE PORTE ASSENTS.
American Missionaries May Distrib-
ute Relief Internationally.
INCESSANT ) PRESSURE BROUGHT
TOBEAR BY MIR RIDDLE,

Who Seems to Be an Agreeable Substitute
for Minister TerrelI-Miss Barton TeIe-
graphs Regarding the Work-severaI
Relief Expeditions started-The Porte
Has Ordered Every Facility to Be
Given the Work She Says.
. Constantinople, April 2-As a result of
the incessant pressure brought to bear
upon the Porte by j. W. Riddle, United
States charge d'affairs, and Sir Philip
Currie, British ambassador, Tewenik
Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, has
given assent to the demand, that all re-
lief afforded the suffering Armenians by
the agents of the American Red Cross
society shall be distributed uncondition-
ally, with the exception of one provision.
namely, that one mem ber of the Turkish
relief commission shall be present. 1t is
believed that there will be no further
hindrance to the distribution of relief
Doctor Harris, with two assistants,
will start from Beyreuth for Marash i'm
mediately, to work among the sufferers
from typhoid fever at that place. The
Porte made an explicit denial of the re-
port that an trade was issued, expelling
the American missionaries Knapp and
Cole from Bitlis, whose immediate de-
parture was ordered by the governor of
that place few days ago. Mr.. Riddle
sent to the Porte Tuesday, for the
promised paper authorizing the two mis-
sionaries to remain ana conduct their
missionary work undisturbed, but
Tewnik Pasha replied that such paper
was not necessary.
; Miss Clara Barton, president Of the
American Red Cross society. has tele-
graphed from Para: ''The distress and
disease at Marash is increasing alarm
1ngly, have ordered eight physicians
and apothecaries with medical supplies
to proceed to Marash from Beyrouth at
once. Another caravan with goods is
due at Marsh now. DIR. Hat pell's relief
party supplied Aitab. and is now start
ing for O0rfa. The Urster's party has
not reported. 1t is probably near Harp
cot. Each party is accompanied by a
caravan with supplies. We are making
heavy shipments of supplies by each
steamer. The Porte has ordered every
facility be given our distributions. The
only hindrance now is slow transporta-
tion.
Mrs. Lee, one of the American mis-
sionaries at 1Marash, writes that there is
not a yard Of cotton cloth in that place.
She says small poS, dysentery and
typhoid feverr are raging there, and there
are no doctors in the place except those
we send. "
