Matter.
MT. VERNON SQUARE SELECTED
Result of Consultation of the
Conferees.
FULL TEXT OF THE BILL

After many vicissitudes the bill to pro-
vide site for the Washington Public Ii
brary made its final passage through both
houses of Congress early this morning and
was signed by the President about5 II
o'clock
The Senate having passed a bill providing
for the purchase of a site for the library
and the House having designated Mount
Vernon Square as the place for the con-
struction of the Carnegie building conferees
were appointed to- harmonic the views OF
the two houses. In the House the appoint
ment of conferees was blocked by an OBJ
lection for a short time, but this obstruc-
tiOn was withdrawn and at 10 O'Clock last
night the conferees got together. They
were in session in the room OF the Senate
committee on the District of Columbia
about three-quarters of an hour, at the end
of which time they decided that Mount
Vernon Square was the place to put the
library Representative Mercer was strong
ly in favor of this site and was positive
that if it were not taken there would be
no library at all because the House would
not appropriate $4,000 for site.
Senate Conferees Yielded.
Mcmillan, Gallinger and German were too
anxious to let the people of Washington
have public library to insist on the Sem
ate bill, when they We're satisfied that the
circumstances pointed to Mt. Vernon square
only. Then, too. the Senate committee in
its first report favored that site, and Mr.
Mcmillan had recommended it in the
strongest language and changed to a prop
oSition to purchase a site only in order TO
conciliate senators who opposed his plan
1t was nearly l o'clock this morning when
Chairman Mercer appeared in the House

The weakest argument in favor Of ex-

missionaries there are already in and
around Manila three hundred new sA-
ioons, and It is said that OF the young

In the Associated Press dispatches are
frequently seen now announcements
of increase Of wages in eastern factories.
To Judge by this news one would come to
to theconclusion thatbu mess ia booming
in the east and all the factories are busy.
The truth is, wages are being increased
in only come instances mostly bv the
trusts, which have, at the same time,
reduced their forcse. simply Iucreasing
the wages of the comparative few re-
naming in their employ. High wages
for labor have sAen their beat davs IN
this country for many wears to come.
