In any climate, and has on file in his

Consumption, uninterrupted, means

FOR COMMERCE.
A Bill to Create New Division in
 the Cabinet.
TRADE BOARDS INDoRSE IT.
The Bureaus It Is Proposed to Include in the Department--Maj. Mckinley Win Urge Its Creation in
 His First Message.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-For several years the propositioA to establish a new executive division to be called the department of commerce. has been dis cussed in and out of congress. The treasury department, T particular, is loaded down with q heterogeneous col lection of bureaus which could very properly be separated from it and thrown into the new43epartment. In most of the other departments there are bureaus that have little relation to the chief work of the department. some of which pertain to coTlrnerce and some do not. The department of agriculture began as an independent bureau and was presided over for many years by a commissioner. When it was erected into an executive department it's head was styled secretary, the first of these being Norman J. Colman. now editor of the Rural World at St. Louis, who had been appointed coni1nissioner by President Cleveland during his first term.
 Senator Frye has introduced bill in the senate to create the department of commerce and industry. 1t is prob able that when this bill becomes a law, as it will eventually. doubtless ct the first session of the next congress, it's title will be simplified to depart- ment of commerce. It is proposed to include in it the following bu- reaus now under the treasury: Navigation. customs, internal rev enue, statistics, steamboat inspcc- tion, coast and geodetic survey, lighthouse board, life saving service and supervising architect, and to add to them from the interior department commissioner of railroads, geological survey and census; from the state de- pertinent, the consular service; from the war department, internal improve ments, including rivers and harbors; and of independent bureaus, the de- partment of labor, the bureau of the American republics, and the intercontinental railway com mission. This will make the new department one ,pf the most inn portant of the entire Au6fDer, W hile at the same time it will give great relief to existing departments, especially the secretary of the treasury, who is now overburdened with the details which come to him from number of bureaus which have no direct relation to the proper functions of the treasury.
 The national board of trade some time ago adopted resolutions favoring the creation of this new department, since which time the various boards of trade have followed in the same line. It is possible that report on the Frye bill may be made at this session, but it is unlikely that there will be any action at this time looking to the final disposition of the bill itself. It is un- derstood that Prcsident-clect McKin- ley is heartily in favor of the proposed new ,iepartmens aud will urge it's ere ation in his first message to congress.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The senate bv o7 to l to-day passed over the presi- dents veto the bill for a new division o1 the Eastern judicial district of Texas. The bill therefore is now a law, having passed the house over the veto.
 In accordance with his notice Mir. sherman moved an executive session a lew minutes after one o'clock. at the conclusion of the morning business. and the doors were closed for the con- slderation of the arbitration treaty with Great Britain, the senate refusing to consider it in open session.
 The speaker laid before the house copies of the teturns of the recent pres ldential election by states and they were permitted to lie on the speakers table.
 Mir. Talbert, of South Carolina, en- deavored to get before the house a con current resolution of the legislature of his state favoring Cuban recognition, but objection was made and it was re- ferred to the committee on foreign affairs. The house then proceeded to the consideration of bills affecting the District of Columbia.

Pensions to Union Veterans win Be Sent

 from the Latter Place After sepssm- ber |.
 WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.--The president has signed, on the recommendation of Secretary of the Interior Francis. an important order reducing the number of pension agencies in the United States from Is to nine. The object of the order is to effect very large say ing to the government without incon- vcnicncing the pensioners. The secre- tarv demonstrates that, by the reduc- tion of the pension agencies, the cost of disbursement of pensions can be re- duced by at least S1sO,0o0 per annum.
 This executive order will % into effect September 1 next. it's execution having been postponed until that date in order that no pensioner should suffer inconvenience in consequence of delay in receiving his pension and to give ample time for the removal of the rolls and records from the agencies discontinued. The consolidation was made by uniting existing agencies and the entire jurisdiction thereof in order that no expense should be incurred by the making of new rolls. The agencies at Concord, N. IT,, and Augusta, Me, arc discontinued. and pay ments hitherto made there are ordered made from the agency at Boston. Mass; the pensioners heretofore paid at Buffalo, N. Y., are to be paid from New York city agency; those at Pitts burgh from the Philadelri,;a agency; those at Louisville and Knoxville from Washington; those at Detroit from In- dianapolis; those at Milwaukee from Chicago; those at Des Moines and Tor pel1a from St. Louis, where new agen- cy is established.
 new agency is established at St. Louis because of the better mail facili- ties than at Des Moines or Topeka, and for the further reasons that there is a government building at St. Louis which can be occupied without cost to the government; and there is also e sub treasury there. pension agency was removed from St. Louis to Topeka in 1882. There are more pension CTS now in Missouri than in Kan sas or in any state formerly paid by the Topeka or the Des Moines agency There are in Missouri 5S,s12 pensioners; in Kansas, 42, ,433; in Iowa, 3779S. The total cost for pensions and the disbursement thereof for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, was Sl42, ,206,- $50, made up as follows: Payments to pensioners, $t3S, ,215, 1T8; fees to exam ming surgeons, SG72,5s7; maintaining pension bureau at Washington, g., ,753,- 760; cost of maintaining pension agen- cics, S565,o27.
