SAVERS WILL HELP CURTIS
To Get Through the Appropriation
for the Topeka Postoffice-

Washington, March 12.-The policy
which will be pursued in the house with
regard to the appropriation bills which
failed of passage by the last congress
is -stil matter of conjecture, but will
be determined at the Republican eau
Gus Saturday.
Mr.. Curtis is Sanguine that he VIII
be able to retain the item for the To
peka public building. Mr.. Sayers, the
leader of the Democratic membership,
will contribute not a little help.
1t was he whose very brief speech dis
armed some minority opposition precise
ly as Mr.. Curtis held the Republican
members in line. He said; Mr.. Speaker:
some eighteen months ago I CHANGED to
visit Topeka, Kan, and while there, in
company with the gentleman from
Kansas, who has just addressed the
house, I visited this building. I went
into every room and saw that not only
the rooms but also the corridors and
gangwayS were occupied, and have
no hesitancy in indorsing what the gen
tleman has said respecting the neceSsi-
ties of that building. There is no QueS-
ton about it Independent of any pol
icy which this house may have entered
upon respecting the construction OF
public buildings, the building at Topeka
is, in my opinion, entirely inadequate
for public service"

held meeting this afternoon. Be
sides the full membership of the COM
mittee there were present the new Re
publican senators, Foraker, Penrose,
Wellington, Plat, Mason Spooner,
Fairbanks and Hanna.
The conference with the new senators
was for the purpose of advising them
of the. difficulties in the way of filling
committee assignments.
AS a result of the conference already
held by both parties it may be definite
ly said that men who have been ap-
pointed by the governors in states where
legislatures have had an opportunity to
elect will not be admitted. The Re
publican managers say it would be
a fruit1ess waste of time to bring the
cases before the senate, as even after
a debate, of which no one could pre-
dict the ending. it is not at all likely
that a favorable vote could be expect
ed. The men who come to Washing

errors will be advised that time can

In the effort to learn something more
explicit about the critter reporter called
on Sam Moy. Sam was very reticent about
the matter and seemed to have desire to
conceal something. Finally in burst of
confidence he said:

Animal Tanner Sweeney of Lincoln park
said he had never eaten ''wunk." He adj
mitted that he was fond of sausage. From
his description one would not take kindly
to the Chinese dainty, and if he makes no
mistake the ''wunk' might be used to
drive the yellow kid out of the country.
CAS- near as can be ascertained," said
Sweeney, 1.-The 'wunk' dog is of composite
construction, resembling the Chihuahua
dog, the black hodag of northern Wiscon-
sin and the Poland China hog of COM
MERGE. He snorts flames from his nOstrils
and scratches his back on barb wire fences.
He would brighten the devil into the fur

The next one interviewed was Professor
Ragzxdqwski, the Polish traveller, who is
stopping at the Auditorium hotel and who
is in the city for the purpose of buying
few lots on Milwaukee avenue.
The professor didn't throw much light
on the subject. He threw good many
other things but the reporter lodged most
of them. He said in part:
