POVDERLY VOTED ON
Senate Confirms Him as I'M
migration Commissioner.
SILVERITES OPPOSE HIM
Alleging That He Has Been
Bought BY Hanna.

Washington, March 16.-T. V. Powderly
was confirmed by the senate in executive
session today by the vote of 43 to 20. Sen
ator Chandler was the only Republican
who cast his vote against confirmation,
while a large number of Democrats voted
for Mr.. Powderly.
The vote was preceded by a rather sharp
debate, in which the question whether
Powderly had made a trade with the Re
publicans in the last campaign was dis
cussed quite freely. Senators Teller and
Stewart attacked Mr.. Powderly's record
on the financial question, and Senator
Stewart read a letter from Mr.. Powderly,
written during the campaign of 1892, in
which he had declared his adherence to
the cause of bimetallism and denounced
those Of the labor element who had align
ed themselves on the Republican side as
rendering themselves liable to the
charge Of being made the subjects of
bribery. Mr.. Stewart contended that Mr..
Powderly had placed himself in exactly
the category in which he had previously
sought to place others by his course in
the campaign of 1896.
Senator Hanna made a brief speech in
which he asserted that Mr.. Powderly' S
support Of the Republican ticket in the
late campaign was not the result of any
collision or bargain.
Mr.. Powderly," he said, ''came to us
of his own accord, and without any So
hcitaion on our part. We did not go
after him, and we did not promise him
anything"
Furthermore, Mr.. Hanna said that he
was not originally supporter of Pow
DERBY for the position of commissioner of
lmmlgra ton, having another candidate
Tor the place. This fact ought to be sufi-
Gent evidence, Mr.. Hanna thought, to
convince the most skeptical that there
had been no bargain that Powderly
should have the office as the result of
his services in the campaign.
Mr.. Chandler made another speecb in
opposition, reading protests from labor
organizations and declaring that the Re-
publican party could not afford to an
point TO so important an office a man so
dlstasteful 20 the labor element.
Mr.. Fairbanks closed the debate in Pow
derly's behalf, defending his record in the
office and his character as a man. He
said that Mr.. Powderly had demonstrated
by several months of service his fitness
Tor the Office. He asserted that the only
charges made against him were of q. no.
htical nature and contended that these
were not of a character to in any wav re-
fleet upon him or to ust$py opposition to
his confirmation.

economic entomology in the United States
| has single species of insect excited SO
much interest as the San Jose scale. In
the light of what we now know, the bull
letin says, our actual knowledge of the
distribution of the scale in the east in the
fall of 1895 was comparatively slight. 1t
was then reported as occurring in twenty
states, but in comparatively few localities
in each, with the single exception of New
Jersey. In 1861 actual field inspection
in Virginia, Maryland, Illinois. Georgia,
Ohio and several others showed that in
these states the insect was nearly as
widespread as in New Jersey. while twelve
states and the District of Columbia have
been added to the number containing in
tested points. The conditions in over
thirty states and terri tories are then Civ
en-, some Of the more important being as
follows:
California-In this state the insect is or
has been generally distributed The con-
ditions Of climate sometimes kill it out,
and it often seems to be destroyed by a
fungus disease, but neglected and improp-
erly sprayed orchards exhibit trees in as
bad condition as can be found in anv Of
the orchards of New Jersey or Maryland
Maryland-More actual damage seems to
have been done in this state than in al
most any other. The scale has been To-
Gated in sixteen counties
