MERCER A GREAT HUSTLER
Second District Congressman work.
ing Hard on the buildings and
Grounds Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-(Special Tele-
gram. m.)-Congressma Mercer's committee
on public buildings and grounds has author
lied the chairman to report favorably some
siXtv bills and these will probably be filed
on Monday.
Since the selection of Mercer as chair
man of this most important house COM
mittee he has been overwhelmed with bills
authorizing the construction of new gov
ernment buildings throughout the country,
but the condition of the treasury has nCC
warranted the committee to seriously con-
slider any of them. When it became eviden;
that something had to be done to check
the clamor throughout the country sitting
committees were appointed to go over each
bill with a view of arriving at an hon
est conclusion. Out of the foremost bllis
referred to the public buildings and grounds
committee a number were set aside for con-
sideration by the whole committee and these
were still further reduced to the number
above referred to- Mercer has worked more
hours than ever before in his career as
congressman over proper distribution of
the bills to be reported and 1t Is cont-
IDENTIFY predicted that the list will show
"Our Dawes" ceverness in unifying fac
tions in order to secure cooperation in
furthering the interests Of Public Build
ings" day, which he Is fighting to Sc
cure.
In the reporting OF these bills the ut
most care must be shown, because upon
their position on the calendar will depend
largely the possibility of their getting
through the house and senate before the
gavel falls on March next.
Nebraska will not be without represen-
tation in the list and it seems safe to say
that Mercers state will have at least four
bills on the calendar favorably reported
viz: Omaha, SOC, 900 for the completion Of
its new public building; Blair, $4,000 for
the purchase of a site and the erection Of
a building; Norfolk and Hastings 1000
for the purchase of sites

CALI FOR PEACE RESOLUTIONS.
Bacon VIII EndeavOr to Obtain Early
Cnnsid g rn ton for Them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4,-Apropos OF
Senator Bacons notice that he would at
the earliest opportunity attempt to get up
his resolutions regarding the peace treaty
for consideration, the senator states that he
will not only ask to have the resolutions
taken up but that he will make an earnest
effort to get a vote upon them. Senator
Bacon declines to discuss his objections to
fixing a time for vote in yesterdays s
secret session, but II is understood that his
opposition was manifested only towards the
one proposition to extend the time until
Monday at / o'clock. He took the position
that to defer the vote until that time. only
two hours before the vote on the treaty it.
self, would be unfair, and therefore made
strenuous objection
Mr. Bacon expressed the opinion today
that there would be no objection to vote
on the resolutions at any time from among
the members of the opposition, but said
that the objection was directed entirely at
the proposition to fix a definite time for
a vote so near the time for action on the
treaty
The friends of the treaty VIII find them
selves short OF the votes necessary TO ratify
the treaty and some OF them candidly confess
that such Is the case. They are, how
ever still hopeful that the shortage will be
made good before Monday

Ratification Duty.
He said the ratification Of the treaty was
a patriotic duty. Mr.. Wolcott said that the
opposition to the treaty was for political
advantage In the next presidential election
He added that there we're few men in the
chamber with patriotism who would not oblit-
crate party lines and ratify the treaty. He
said there was not a country in Europe that
was not hostile to US with the exception OF
England. He paid tribute to that country
and its friendship TO us He also paid a
high tribute to the president, saying he had
ably guided the government through peril
GUS times. II we abandoned the Philippines.
continued MIR. Wolcott, we would leave the
peoples Of the island to the greedy nations OF
Europe
Mr. Wolcott said the Philippines would be
better for our government. He said that in
evitable destiny had placed the archipelago
in our hands There was a demonstration in
the gallery when MIR. Wolcott closed The
senate then on motion Of Mr., Lodge at 2l5
