one days service may get one weeks pay.
The Controller may know that the charges
are unreasonable, but he cannot withhold
the warrants.
To-day the assistant sergeant-at-arms
said\ that only eight of the warrants
drawn for pawn nt of attaches for tenn
porary organization were in his posses
sion. All others have been issued. The
money has been drawn from the Treasury,
and scandal attaches to the Assembly.
There was no roll stuffing or concealment.
When the report of the committee was
brought before the Assembly, Speaker
Coon BIS called the attention of the mem
bers to the fact that others than statutory
officers were allowed money for attending
the temporary organization, and a motion
was made to exclude them. The Assem-
bly,, by an almost unanimous vote. pro-
nounced in favor OF paying every man on
the long roll.
No doubt great cloud of dust has been
raised over the small grab to obscure pub
lie vision of big drawdowns in contem-
plation. The Democratic and Populist
minority as rule voted along with the
Republicans to pay every person whose
name was on the roll. The amount in
volved, however, is infnitesimal COM
pared with the single demand for money

Vogel and Charles A. Spencer, United
States steamship inspectors at Jackson
vile, Fla, have reported to the Treasury
Department the result of their investiga-
ton as to the sinking of the flibustering
steamer Commodore. They find that the
vessel was fully equipped in all respects.
The report further.says:
"Our opinion of the sinking of the
steamer Commodore is that it was due to
the complication of the pipes for freeing
the vessel of water not being fully under
stood by the engineers departm Mt"
Regarding the loss of life, the report
states that ''for some unknown reason" a
boat containing six men returned to the
vessel and the men endeavored to rig up
raft and were carried down when the
ship sank. The loss of the vessel is placed
at about $15, 900 and cargo $500. The report
says that Captain Murphy did all in his

full navyf 1t Is to DO hoped for tho host inter

you will always prevail, namely, that the two
questions should be considered separately.
Your correspondent gives n table showing that
the appropriations from 1s91-ls97 inclusive
for tho maintenance of the military establish
ment of tho United States have averaged nearly
$50, 900, 900 per annum. and that for 1896 tho
amount appropriated was $I6,4i3, $500" This
statement Is incorrect. The fact Is that the av-
erage appropriation during the time named, for
the maintenance OF our military establishment
has been less than half the amount given in

that just the reverse is the case. The mannfac-

diamond at 10 per cent. The same request was
made by the Diamond Workers Union.
As a diamond worker my chance and that of
my 900 co-wOrkcrs OF continuing to make n liv-
