MANY INNOCENT DEsERTERS.
Passage of n Bill to Clear Their Mill
tary Record.

More than thousand veteran sailors and
marines of the civil war have already MED
applica tions to the Navy Department to
have removed the charges of deserlon
which now stand against their names. rms
action was taken in anticipation OF the
final passage by Congress of the bill eX-
tending Indefinitely the provisions OF the
act of 1883 relative to what are known as
innocent desertions." For ten years Judge
Advocate General Lemly has been seeking
to obtain this legislation, and the bill has
passed first one house and then the other,
but only yesterday succeeded in passing
both in one session. and so being sent to
the President for his signature.
No one knows how many veterans are ar
fected by this act. At the close of the civil
war many thousand sailors and marines
reported at Philadelphia to be mustered out.
The receiving ships did not afford accom-
modations for more than a small fraction
of them, and after waiting many days for
the mustering-ou officer, being told that
they were not wanted, the men drifted or
to their homes throughout the country and
returned to civil life. Technically, every
one of these men was a deserter. and yes
terday's act is intended to remove that
stigma from their records.

sioners The bill as originally introduced
in the Senate proposed an appropriation OF

In their report the Commissioners said that
the substructure of this bridge was known
to be somewhat defective, and the truss is
so made that additions to it are not prac-
ticable The proper and, in fact, the only
practicable course TO pursue is to rebuild

the Commissioners recommended that Sl",-
600 be appropriated to start the work in ac-
cordance with plans prepared by the Com
missioners and approved by the Secretary
of War and that the Commissioners be au-
thorized to contract for the completion of
the work at total estimated cost of $-io,-

Senators Desire to Protect ThemseIves
Against Corrupt Practices-Ex-
pected Committee Action.

The course of procedure in the Clark case
has not yet been decided upon, but the de-
termination is very strong that Mr.. Clark
shall not by the trick of resignation and ap
pointment overreach the Senate and retain
the seat by perversion of justice. The
case is, of course, complicated by the three
card monte method resorted to in Mr..
Clark'S behalf, and it is possible that few
senators who want to serve Clark, but We're
afraid to face the suspicion which might at
tach TO them if they made a fight against
the committee on the bribery case. will
avail themselves of the opportunity to de-
fend his claim on technicalities.
The Senate, however. is apparently not
in mood to submit to be trifled with and
will brush aside the bewildering technicali-
ties and go AT once to the question OF
whether or not the Senate may protect it
self against corrupt practices and whether
it has any authority to be respected.
Integrity of the Senate Involved.
AS a senator put the matter today. the
integrity and character of the Senate Itself
is involved. and if ii fails to protect itself
it will stand discredited. IF" the senator
said, ''by bribery of legislatures. the hocus-
pocus of governors and by trickery, fraud
and corruption. the Senate is to be filled;
If the Senate is helpless to purge itself of

and it will be the end of eur present system

condition which we must accept, the cleo
lion of senators by the people is the only
escape"
Committee to Meet Tomorrow.
The committee on privileges and elections
will meet tomorrow and decide on the
course to be followed. 1t is expected that
they will decide to press to passage the

FIRST OF THE KIND IN GERMANY.
Building to Be Put Up on the Latest
American Plan.

Work upon the new Bremen cotton eN-
change is progressing rapidly, according
to a report to the State Department from
Consul Diederich at Bremen. This build
ing is to be the first one in Germany con-
structed entirely upon the American plan,
and for the first time, says Consul Dleder-
ich, the people of Bremen will see an iron
framework rise from the foundation up TO
the roof and the construction of the walls,
floors and ceilings afterward. Bremen
stands next to Liverpool the leading
cotton market on the continent, and the
exchange has grown rapidly from small
beginning, last year arbitratng upon l,45l,-
$50 bales of cotton.
When it is borne in mind. says the consul,
that by far the greater part of the cotton
brought into Bremen and bought and sold
at the exchange comes from the United
States the completion of the new building
will be watched with special interest by
Americans.

MIR. KNIGHTS STATEMENT

The House committee on agriculture to-
day concluded the hearing on oleomarSar-
inc by giving an audience to Mr.. c. NJ. Lev
ering, manager for manufacturer of oleo-
margarine.
The hearing was devoted to an expos-
tion Of the alleged purity and beauty of
oleomargarine, its necessity and value as
a food product from the manufacturers
point of view.
Mr.. Lcvering contended that oeomar-
garine was not extensively sold as an iIni-
tation of butter. but stood upon its merits.
Under cross-eXamination. however, he ad-
mtted that colored oleoma rgarine was sold
III the states where it is prohibited by state
laws. He said that about 30 per cent of the
total output of the factories which he rep
resented was sold in pound packages wrap
ped in paper and plainly marked oeomar-
garine. The remainder, for reasons best
known to the trade which demanded it,
was sold In cloth wrarpings not 50 marked.
