Dawes For That Position.

Chicago Feb. 2.-Charles G. Dawes
says The report that have been ten
dered and have accepted the appoint
ment of the comptroller of the currency
is true.
l have much regretted the early pub
licity which has unavoidably. attached
to the matter for ii seems to have given
rise to the inference that had some de-
sire or expectation of succeeding Mr..
Eckels prior to the expiration of his
commission in 1898. 1 can say for my
self, and L think 1 speak for all con-
cerned, that / sincerely hope Mr. Eckels
shall see his way clear to the retention OF
his position until the expiration of his
commission. His distinguished SER
vices, as comptroller of the currency,
rendered amid so many embarrassments
and complications, have earned him the
gratitude of the nation"

discussions of the freight schedules OF
Nebraska, about the time of and after
the passage of the interstate commerce
law. He was also student of financial
questions, and in 1894 published a book,
entitled THE Banking System of the
United States and It's Relations to the
Money and Business of the Country"
He has been for many years a national
bank director. In 1893 he became a resi-.
dent of Evanston. Ills, having become
interested in the Northwestern Gas and
Coke company of that place. He was
the leader in the Mckinley movement in
Illinois, which ended in resolutions foI
Mckinley at the Springfield convention
He was then appointed by NJ. A. Hanna
as a member from Illinois of the execu.
tive committee Of the Republican ma.
tional committee. Mr.. Dawes is presi.
dent Of the gas companies of Akron. O..

Washington, Feb. 2.-The Nicaragua
canal bill occupied the attention Of the
senate most of yesterday. but no prog
ress was made toward a final vote. Mr..
Morgan, In charge of the measure
sought to secure all agreement for vote
today or tomorrow, but the opponents
OF the measure. led by Mr.. Villas and MI
Daniel. resisted any agreement. Whiie
disclaiming any purpose OF obstruction
or filibustering against the bill, the op-
position insisted that 1t was or such
grave moment as to demand complete
discussion. Mr.. Villas opposed the bill,
severely criticising its various features
and declaring that II would expose our
western coast to the attacks OF the ma
vies of Europe. The senator has not yet
concluded his speech.
1t is possible that the canal bill Will
be sidetracked and the bankruptcy bill
given first place on the calendar.
The house had a busy day. An un-
usually large number of bills were
passed, but few of them were of any
considerable Importance. 1t was sus-
pension day, and the usual obstructive
tactics were unavailing. The bills passed
included the old bill which has beer
pending before congress for so many
years to retire John N. Quackenbush
who was court martialed and suspend
ed from the naval service in 1874 fol
drunkenness, as a commander under
date Of June l, 1895. While bill to re.
duce the amount allowed steamboat in.
spectors for travelling expenses was
under consideration. Mr.. Grosvenoi
(Rep.. o. took occasion to remark upon
'the sudden outburst of economy" dis
played by the present administration
on the eve of its outgoing in the matter
OF salaries and fees.
The diplomatic and consular appro.
priation bill was taken up. and fail
progress made before the hour Of ad.
journment.

Senators Debate on Civi! Service. Prison Work
In House.

Boston, Feb. 2.-There was a spirited
debate in the senate yesterday on the
appropriation for the civil service COM
mission. Amendments were offered cut
ting down the appropriation from SIS, 900
to $1,000, and, after a discussion of an
hour. in which local politics played an
important part, the amendment was re-
jected by close vote of IL to 16 against
reduction. Bills were introduced to en-
able a new hotel in this city, situated
partly inside and partly outside the 400
foot schoolhouse line, to obtain a liquor
license. Another bill appeared against
bucket shops, while Senator Roberts in
troduced measure to reduce the metro
politan sewerage commission from a
three to a single-headed commission.
The house discussed bill appropriat-
ing 100000 for carrying on the work of
convicts in the prisons of the state. Mr..
George Of Haverhill said that, under the
present system, the state is making but

commonwealth Mr.. T. keenan, of Bos-
ton seriously objected to Mr. Georges
amendment, saying that it was against
labor, and he offered an amendment

ton and Mr. Waterman of Wakefield
both opposed an amendment offered by
Mr. George, which provides that the

George said he was opposed to the
contract labor system, and be-
lieved that as ii is now carried on, out

Work Of the Maine Board Of Health,

In another column wepublishano out

annual report of Secretary Young of

is one which should receive a wide cir
culation and will be found interesting
in many respects by the average read

with the technical work of this DEPART
ment and who naturally might suppose
anything pertaining to it to be dry and
uninteresting. Those who have noted
the work Of. this bureau will recall the
fact that seve1l years ago the secre-
tary. DR.. YourE, taking the ground
that tuberculosis was a preventable
disease, sent out circular of instruc-
tion, as to the way and means by
which the disease could be prevented.
As the secretary points out with par
donable pride in this last report the
Maine board of health was the first in
the country to do this. Those who read

spread until it is now universally ac-

New York recently the board Of health
prescribed rigorous measures to pre-
vent the awful disease being communi-
