Mr. kizer, of Norfolk. has gotten his
hpor bureau bin through the Senate.
1t passed the House several days aro
and all the Senators voted for il n
is said Governor Tyler will cer,ainIv
approve it. The bill provides that the
Governor shall appoint a commissioner
at salary Of $500 per year TO gather
and compile labor statistics. The
sum Of $1,000 is provided for con,in-
gent expenses. This bill has been
offered at every session for some wears
past, but Mr. KiZer is the only man
who has succeeded in securing lis pas
sage.
Ihe passage of the bill Is regarded
as big victory for organized labor.
rev men in the Legislature have
welded the influence possessed by MIR
klZer. His indomitable pluck and
courage OF his convictions, his open
Hnd frank manner, and above all his
hoAity as parliamentar!an and leeis-
lator, have won him friends from one
END of the Capitol 10 the other
speaker Ryan at the beginning of the
session recognized his ability by plac-
ING him upon the best committees nj
the House. His shrewdness ana keen
iorethought was best shown when the
Di!i nrSt came up for passage in the
Rouse. When a vote was taken il was
defeated by narrow majority. Mr..
ki%er Immediately changed his vote

measure, claiming that a large num-

next day. when IL was put on it's pas-
sage again, 1t was passed by an over
WnclminS majority. Similar action on
other b!llS III which he was instrument
tai in passing could also be cited
Mr.. Kizer has been one Of the hardest
workers in the House. both in COM
mittee and out, and his host Of friends
to-day congratulated him upon his well
earned victory. Numerous congratula-
tons were received by him by tele-
graph from labor leaders throughout
the state. Mr.. Kizer has strenliouslv
opposed the cutting OF small salried
officials on the ground that the prun-
ing knife should first be applied to
higher paid officials who can afford Il
much better Altogether the patron of
the labor bureau bill has made one of
the best representatives that Norfolk
has ever sent here. His record is
an enviable one, and one that he
can truly be proud Of. He will be re-
membercd here long after the Legisla-
ture adiourns.
The legislative session will be CON
unued until Friday. y resolution to
that effect was passed by both houses
to-day. No new legislation will be in
troduced or acted upon after Wednes-
day. The General Assembly will be in

which to consider bills submitted TO
him.

EXPEL THE FRIARS.
Request Made of President Nc
kinley by European Phil
ippineS Committee.

London. Aug. 27.-The Philippine isl
ands committee in Europe has addressed
a letter to President Mckinley regarding
the appeals made to him by high Roman
Catholic ecclesiastics in America to pro-
tect the religious orders in the islands.
The expulsion of the friars. the commit
tee contends, is "a necessary antecedent
to moral sanitation" The letter names
particularly the archbishop of Manila and
the bishops of Neuva Sagovia and Neuva
Caseres, whose acts of hostility against
Goth natives and Americans and against
the Jesuits and other respected religious
institutions are condemned by everyone"
The committee urges President Nc
Kinley to laid the Filipinos to suppress
the immortality of the diabolical institu-
tons fostered by those monks" and the
letter concludes as follows: 'Your name
can never be associated with that of the
friars, and the sense Of right Of the noble
nation at whose head you are placed will
never permit the ever victorious and hui
manitarian stars and stripes to protect
them"
