yesterday Mr.. Hit of Illinois. chairman OF
the foreign affairs committee in the last
Congress who had seat in the Cherokee
strip in the last House, was called early
and got a prominent seat on the main aisle.
Messrs. Cannon of Illinois. Dolliver of Iowa
and Overstreet of Indiana selected adjon-

spicuous seat near his old place.
Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee got his old
seat, although his name was called late.
His colleagues reserved the seat for him.
A big tree of American beauty roses was
placed on his desk, and the House, ire
speotive of party, arplauded vigorously.
He was also the recipient of several large
baskets of crysanthemums. The name of
Mr.. Payne of New York was also called
late, but he got conspicuous seat in the
front row which had been overlooked.
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Mr..
Grosvenor of Ohio were unfortunate. Their
names were not called until the end had
been almost reached. Mr.. Hepburn of
Iowa was the first prominent republican
who was forced to go to the Cherokee
strip on the democratic side for a seat.
He was received with applause by the dem
ocrats.
of Utah had been standing in the rear of
the railing eagerly listening for his name
but when the balls were exhausted his name
had not been called. As he had not taken
the oath no ball had been placed in the box
for him. but by accident he secured a seat.
The names of two republican members had
not been called when the balls were ex-
hausted. The Speaker explained that the
balls wre exhausted and asked If any
members had not been provided with seats.
The two republicans and Mr.. Roberts came
forward

PROPOSED MEMORIAL ARCH.
To Be Erected on the Chickamauga.
Chattanooga Field

Representative Grosvenor of Ohio has in
troduced bill for the erection of a me-
morial arch on the Chickamauga battlefield.
1t provides that the browning work of
the establishment of the Chickamauga and
Chattanooga National Military Park, which
embraces seven battlefields. upon which
served three great armies and large forces
representing all the ether main armies of
the north and south, the Secretary of
War be authorized and directed to erect at
Chattanooga, Tenn, under the provision Of
the Chickanlauga and Chattanooga National
Park commission and their engineer, upon
such site as the said Secretary may deem
most suitable, q memorial arch to be known
as the Arch Of Nationality. to commence
rate the heroism of the American soldier.
and the complete union which has resulted
from the joint military service of all sections
in the war with Spain. The several dimen-
SONS of the arch shall not be less than
those of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and
its main portions shall be constructed of
massive blocks Of granite.
To enable the Secretary of War to carry
forward this work. after the adoption of
the designs, the sum of 100000 is abpro-
priated.

Harbor Masters Office.
The harbor master has continued to do
excellent police work with his boat. still la
boring. however under the old conditions
OF having inadequate machinery. Congress
failed 20 appropriate the amount asked
for to equip the boat with new boilers and
engines When so much good FOR the water
front is accomplished at such a small out
lay. il does seem though the amount
asked for to make the boat complete should
be allowed Especially is this true at this
time iuaSmuch as the Supreme Court of
the United States has decided that all the
water front is the property Of the United
States. ard by a recent act of Congress the
entire wharfage. with a very slight exCep-
tion. Is placed under the control of the
Commissioners. with authority and dscre-
ton to exercise entire supervision over 1t.
This will greatly increase the work of the
harbOr master. and he should not be
striCted and hampered with inadequate APP
planes.
Clearing the River of leo.
A very important service rendered by
the harbor master and one for which he
deserves high commentator, was that of
king the ice in the channel of the Po-
tomac river providing for its escape down
the river in time to allow the free passage
of large blocks Of ice from the upper river
that seriously threatened this city with
food during the extremely cold weather in
February, 1889.
When this condition was presented a re-
quest m Ide for 5000 from Congress to
protect the city from flood and break up
the ice in the river. The amount seemed
very small compared with the amount of
W rk TO be done. but the harbor master Sc
cured a number of tugs. and, organizing
them fleet and engaging them for ten
days. with them managed to break the ice
effectively and keep the channel open: so
the crlsit was passed without any loss what
ever. There We're times during those excit-
ing days, when simply a little negligence
would have oCCaSioned a gorge at the forks
OF the channel. dammng the water and
throwing it back through r street sewer
onto the streets and into the cellars be-
tween the Capitol and the treasury and
Pennsylvania avenue and streets south of
II. which would have involved a loss of a
million or more dollars. When the work
was completed it was found that the total
expense incurred in accomplishing such a
great enterprise was S3,aS.45 leaving unex-
pended balance of this small appropria-
ton # S1.G91.55.

Foreign Relations.


A review of our relations with foreign
states is presented with such recommenda-

The long-pending boundary dispute be-
tween the Argentine Republic and Chile
was settled in March last by the award
of an arbitral commission, on which the
United States minister at Buenos Ayres
served as umpire.
Progress has been made toward the con-
clusion Of a convention Of extradition with
the Argentine Republic. Having been ad-
vised and consented to by the United States
Senate and ratified by Argentina, IT only
awaits the adjustment of some slight
changes in the text before exchange.

Plumbing Operations.

During the year 1900 inspections of
plumbing were made by the Office. 1t is be-
lieved that the work of this division has a
considerable bearing upon the health of the
community, and the number of calls for in
spectons indicates the reliance placed upon
the office by householders anxious to secure
sanitary plumbing. The work of the office
and of the plumbing board is shown in de-
tail in the report of the inspector, Mr.. c. B.
Ball.
THE plumbing regulations require that a
trap shall be placed upon each house sewer
and there is strong local sentiment
against abolishing this construction. The
trap is, however responsible for a great
deal of digging in the streets, which would
be avoided We're the trap omitted. and it in
wolves considerable expense to the property
owners. One great disadvantage of the
trap is the ease with which 1t can be
choked. and it has been found. since the law
was passed enabling the health officer to
require the owners of buildings to Introduce
sewer and water facilities into their prem
ises that in tine poorer classes of houses
the owner is frequently put to considerable
expense in digging up these traps In a
number of cases where tenants were eyict-

The total number of deaths investigated
by the coroner during the year was 7S1, an
increase of 143 over last year. For the first
time in the history of the District in con-
