liam B. Gaitree. special agent of the
rural free delivery, received a message
calling him to Washington, and he has

they were fully aware of the arrange

such people would favor the world
with information of this character be-
fore, rather than after the calamity,
their value to mankind would be much
more highly appreciated.

showing that for the fiscal year just
closed the imports of the United
States amounted to sS49.714,329, and
the exports 1884, ,479.214. This shows
a balance of $544,764,SS5 in favor of

of such results?

THE SENATE ROUTINE.
Credentials of Charles 4. Towne, OF
MinnesOtR. Prevented.

In the Senate yesterday the credentials
CT Charles A. Towne. appointed a Senator
from Minnesota, to succeed the late
Cushman X. Davis, were presented by
Senator Nelson. After the reading of
the credentials, Mr., Chandler objected
to the wording of the document. stating
that the Governor CT Minnesota had ex-
ceeded his authority in extending the
length of the time until the next meet
ing cf the Legislature The term. he
said, was outlined in the Constitution.
He made, however. no objection to Mr.
Towne's being sworn.
Mr.. Hanna presented a resolution di-
recting the President pro tempore OF the
Senate to appoint a committee of three
Senators to make arrangements for the
exercises incident to the inauguration of
the President on March 4. 1901. The reso-
luton went oyer under the rules.
Mr.. Stewart presented resolution ask
ing the Secretary Of the Navy for infor-
nation regarding the work done by the
submarine torpedo boat Holland. The
resolution was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Gallinger ii was
agreed to give twenty minutes TO pension

for want of legal power to make them.
To reach this conclusion, he says this
court must hold that Congress is without
authority to make the Jaw, that the Exec
utive was without authority in the dis
charge OF international obligations, t6 de-
mand such surrender, and that the judi
clal department Of the Government was
without authority to hear or determine
the case. The court will not do this rn-
less it is clear beyond a reasonable doubt
that all three departments Of the Govern
ment have exceeded their powers
MT. Beck presents to the court the
great Importance of the case, and while
conceding that it may go of on technicali-
Ties, appeals for decision upon merits.
The argument will be largely technical,
and attracts but little public interest.

to codify the laws.
Bvrum was nominated as a Democrat

was rejected by the Senate. This year
he was nominated rs Republican by the
President and the action of the Judiciary
Committee, it is believed, ensures lis
confirmation.

The House yesterday passed the first
of the great appropriation bills-that pro-
viding salaries for the personnel of the
| various legislative, executive, and judicial
departments during the fiscal year begin
ming next July-in the record-breaking
| time of three hours. The measure COM
prised 123 printed pages. and almost the
entire time was taken up by the clerk in
reading it. Representative Bingham, who
| had the bill in charge made only brief
| explanation of its provisions and but two
amendments were offered. Some surprise
was expressed that the paragraph carry
| ing appropriations for the Civil Service
Commission was passed without word of
protest, as it is usually the subject of ey-
tended debate, and once within recent
years three days were required in dis
posing of it. Mr. bingham. after the b.u
had been passed, Thanked the Committee
of the Whole for their assistance in dis
posing of the bill so expeditiously.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal the House went into Committee OF
the Whole ON the bill. which carries
total of s24,49s,30S. being s9o5,2ol less
than the estimates ind S239. .235 more than
the current appropriation.
Mr.. Bingham explained the changes
from the law for the current year The
bill carried specific appropriations for TO-
S66 salaries, which was an increase of 30
over those now authorized and SI6 less
than the recommendations of the heads OF
the various departments.

Mr. Robinson of Indiana asked II the
pending bill provided for correction OF
the abuses growing out. he said, OF the
thirty days sick leave to which clerks
in the executive departments are entf-
tied.
Mr.. Gaines said he would oppose the
suggestion of Mr.. Robinson. to cut off
this class of leave. He would not be a
party to cutting off the sick leave of the
young people or the old people in the
departments. They were not entitled to
this sick leave as matter of legal
right but the granting Of 1t was dis
cretionary with the heads OF the depart
ments. Mr.. Gaines said: Would the
gentleman from Indiana have this Gov
ernment run IN q brutal iaSHIUH- Eouiu
he have old clerks dismissed because they
happened to become sick?"
Owing to delay in receiving estimates
from the heads of departments this year,
the committee recommended and the
House adopted a paragraph requiring the
submission of their estimates to the See
retary of the Treasury before the 1otn OF
October each year for inclusion IN his
book of estimates and in ease OF failure |

journed until today. ,,a-...s,,. .ei ,s-s.s---.-,

Taylor, Supervising Architect OF the
Treasury. asking that Congress ap-
propriate s275,000 for the purpose of
building an additional story to the Treas

estimated cost of replacing the soft stone
OF the east front Of the Treasury with
granite. of which material the main por-

Architect Taylor calls attention to the
fact that it was but recently that large
dentil fell to the ground and there is no
means OF telling when other large stones
will fall Mr.. Taylor says the Treasury
Building is crowded for want Of space and
the best and cheapest way to obtain it Is
by the addition of another story.
