SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

Washington, March 24.-B. $. Platt,
enrolling clerk of the senate, has pre-
pared statement giving the results of
the work OF the last congress. 1t shows
that li57 bills and joint resolutions be-
came laws, out OF a total of 1S.ie3 in
troduced in both houses. OF the meas
ures introduced l2.60S were presented in
the house and 5S55 in the senate. OF
those which became laws s42 originated
in the house and 5l5 i'm the senate. There
were only two direct vetoes during the
congress. one Of these applying to a
senate bill, and the other TO a house
measure. There were in addition TO
these four pocket vetoes. bills which
failed to become laws because they were
not approved by the president. The
record shows that the senate passed 1173
OF its own bills. and that the house acted
favorably upon only 517, or fewer than
half of them. while OF the 1881 house
bills passed by the house. the senate
acted favorably upon si6. A larger num-
Der of bills were introduced than in any
previous congress.

presumed that the legislature meant to
make one side only Of the contract
valid. leaving the other party free from
the obligation to pay the considera-
tion, for If the consideration fails there
is no contract. If the contract is valid
IL can be- put in suit.
THE defendants also claim that, as
the statute forbids foreign insurance
company making insurance on property
within this state until IL shall have
complied with the law, the company
cannot maintain an action in the courts
of this state or a contract, made con-
trary to law. and many cases are cited
in support of this claim.
"In Garrett VS.. Vermont company
we recognized the fact that the greater
number of authorities are that way.
but we also called the attention to un-
derlying differences such az statutes
which declare them 10 be valid, and
the statutes which neither declare them
TO be void or valid. Our conclusion
was largely based upon the provision
in regard To insurance which declares
the contract to be valid, as tending to
show that IL was not intended that
some contracts made contrary TO law
should be valid and that others should
be void.
"The defendants, however UNDER

court decided that a company when
has not complied with the laws OF
state cannot maintain n suit therein.
We did not so decide The case was
the petition of receiver of an insolv-
ent mutual insurance company for in
structons in regard to making an as
sessment In the testimony II was
stated that the company had complied
with the laws only OF three states. The
question was whether the receiver
should make assessments which he
could not collect. In addition to this
affidavit on file. the receiver was ex-
amined. and quite likely the states In
which the assessments were declared
not to be collectble were those where
the contract Is declared or held to be
void. The clause quoted was the state
ment Of the receiver and not the deci-
sion Of the court. We took the fact as
alleged and as we also found IL 20 be
proved.
1--WE think that the provision Of the
statute declaring the contract in this
class Of cases 10 be valid is conclusive
I'm this case, making the contract valid
as To both parties and necessarily inn
plying that II may be sued in our

Washington, March 24.-The following
order has been issued at the war depart
ment: ordered - That hereafter no
chief or acting chief OF staff corps shall
be detailed or ordered 10 any duty by any
authority without the approval OF the
secretary Of war"
This order OF Secretary Alger has been
issued to set at rest all questions as to
who is the supreme authority in the war
department. II is an old controversy.
dating back to the time when jefferson
Davis was secretary OF war and General
Scott commanding general OF the army.
The last time the matter was brought
prominently to the attention of the coun-
try was during the administration OF
President Arthur, when Secretary Lin
coin wrote caustic letter 10 Lieutenant
General Sheridan, stating that the staff
corps of the war department, with the
exception of the adjutant generals and
the inspectors general corps. were under
the direct control and subject only TO
orders by the secretary OF war. The
order OF Secretary Alger will hereafter
include the chiefs OF those corps under
the sole control OF the secretary. Cen
eral Miles has held TO the construction
based upon the letter of Sec lry Lin
coin.
The cause for the issuance OF the order
was recent order Of General Miles to
Lieutenant Colonel Darlington. acting
chief OF the inspector generals corps
during the absence OF General Breckin-
ridge, directing Darlington to visit GER
tain points in the west on an inspection
tour The order OF the secretary does
not refer TO General Breokinridges pres

orders issued by Secretary Alger.

Hemm!ng G. Schele, a Swede, who keeps
a saloon at q South Main street. The

Gaping from two jets. The wide

suicide, and death was proba-
bly, due to natural causes. Shepard
had been "a janitor for years in build
ings about the center OF the city and
was a well known business district
character with, a white beard and a
patriarchal look which gave many peo-
pie the impression that he was near the
80 year mark.

fed and after making a. examination
of the remains and premises. he de-
cided that death had resulted from ma
tural causes. the gas jets having been
left open accidentally. Mr. Shepard
