The senate committee on commerce
has reported bill for the establish
ment of department of commerce and
industries. While the multiplication of
Offices ordinarily is not an unmixed
blessing, there is sometimes a necessi-
ty for 1t, and at other times conditions
are such as to indicate the wisdom of
making an experiment in that direc-
ton. though 1t must be admitted that
there is little hope Of abolishing an
Office, however useless it may prove,
once 1t is created. The closer the gov
eminent can be brought in contact
with industrial activity, and the more
nearly 1t can be made business enter
prise, as distinguished from political
machine, the better 1t will be as gov
eminent.

The state Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, in
Russia, is probably the only place in
the world that is run entirely by wom-
en-. says Tit Bits. This state is made
up Of seven villages, each presided over
by a mayoress, the whole under the
superintendent OF a lady named
Saschka, who acts as president. There
are women magistrates, women preach
ers. women policemen-in fact, every
capacity in the state is filled by wom-
en-. The roads are made by women
and women sell milk and deliver let
ters. IL you want to bring an action
against your neighbor in this state, YOU
go to woman lawyer; and IL there is
anything in your house to be stolen
then burglar OF the weaker sex steals
1t. No place Of any Importance is filled

1t LIS said that there are several So
cieties in this country that are organ
lied for the purpose of importing Eu-
ropean birds. The announcement is
somewhat indefinite. but If the purpose
Is as stated. to introduce various kinds
OF birds, the sooner the government
puts stop to such enterprises the
better. We have suffered enough.
though sometimes, as in the case of the
English sparrow, the damage Is imag-
mary we think-from such enthusiasm.

thousands OF dollars to rid itself of a

The general movement for the purifi-
cation of our city from the vipers that
have infested it under what ever
names they are known should be en-
couraged and upheld by all the people.
In fact it might be suggested that mass
meetings should be called for the pur-
pose OF strengthening the backbone OF
the officers whose evident duty it is to
take the initiative in the matter of
proceeding with all the machinery OF
law against all institutions OF evil.

The immense development of the ex-
port trade Of the United States and
the almost limitless possibilities for
its further extention are intimated in
figures given out recently by the
statistical bureau at Washington.
From this it appears that, in so far of
a country as Russia, American manu-
facturers are competing successfully
with their German and English rivals
and that American bicycles, agricul-
tural machinery, steam engines and
tools In general are extensively sold
among the Black Sea provinces. The
figures given show that our sales in
Russia in 1893 amounted to less than
two and one-half million dollars and
that in the year 1899 they exceeded
ten million.

The most amusing feature of the
present violent crusade beiLg conduct
ed by the press of New York against
immortality In plays. to those familiar
with such extravagant campaigns, is
the probability that the newspapers
are acting from anything but earnest
motives in 50 DANGEROUSLY demanding
the suppression of "Sapho," ''Zaza" and
other plays of like nature. 1t is a
mock campaign, seemingly conducted
solely for the notoriety and advertis-
ing which the individual papers can
squeeze out of the affair.

lumber activity in this direction con-
tinues strong and the demand exceeds

Decides in Favor of Beckham.
The court of appeals yesterday hand
ed down it's decision in the guDerna-
torial contest in favor of Beckham,
Judge Durelle dissenting. The other
two Re-, Iblican judges, Burnam ana
Guffy, handed down a separate opih-
ion, which differed in its reasons from
the opinion of the Democratic judges,
but agreed with them in its conclusion.
Judge Hobson, one of the four Demo
cratic judges, wrote the opinion of the
majority Of the court affirming the de-
cision Of Judge Field of Louisville.
The opinion holds that the action or
the legislature in seating Gov. Beck
ham was final, and that the courts
have no power to review it; that GOV.
Taylor exceeded his authority in ad-
journing the legislature to London,
and that the journals OF the two
houses Of the legislature being regular
cannot be impeached.

as he climax of q discussion OF INC
Kehucky situation when Mr. W heei'
pr. Kentucky Democrat. ana Mt.
Pub. a Kentucky Republican, raced
pacl other from opposite sides or the
NAH aisle and INDUCED in a wordy
dud. Mr.. Pugh charged Mr.. Wheeler
with misrepresenting certain lacts'
He was laboring under great excite-
melt. Mr. Wheeler showed admirapie
temper, and though quick TO resent
tho fancied insult. awaited the ex-
plahation of Mr. Pugh, in which he
disslaimed any intention Of imputing
TO him personally desire to distort
thd facts. Throughout the debate,
which was precipitated by Mr.. Boring,
the other Republican member from
Kentucky, there was an air or sup
pressed excitement 1t was the nrst
time the subject had been preached in
the holse. and intense interest was
manifested. Mr.. Lacey of Iowa con-
Guided the debate with general de-
nunciadon of the Goebel election law.
This Incident oyershadowed the other
speeches yesterday on the Hawaiian
bill, many of which were irrelevant.
The Senate.
Peace was restored in the senate
yesterday before the body convened,
and during the proceedings of the SEES
sion there was only reminder of the
harsh language used just before adj
iournment Tuesday. The senate
opened with lively and interesting
discussion Of the Quay case, In the
course OF which Mr.. Wolcott apollo
gized for the language he had used
Tuesd disclaiming any intention OF
being offensive to anybody, least OF
all to his friend, Mr.. Lodge. The Col
orado senator made a vehement and
ELOQUENT appeal for early action upon
the Quay case. He was supported by
other friends of Mr.. Quay. 1t was
decided inally TO take up the case to-
day under the unanimous consent
agreement made March 10. In accord
ance also with that agreement the
Spooner bill was made the unfinished
business. thereby bringing the Philip
pine question to a direct issue in the
senate.

The House.

not finish the bill to provide territorial
government for Hawaii yesterday
When The hour fixed for taking a vote,
4 o'clock, arrived. less than half the
bill had been covered and so many
amendments remained that ii was
agreed to continue the consideration OF
the bill under the five-minute rule un-
til 1t was finished. Several important
amendments were agreed to, among
them the following: To nullify all la
Dor contracts in the islands; to extend
the alien contract labor laws TO the
Islands; to prohibit the sale Of intoxl.
eating liquor in saloons; to limit the
land holdings of corporations 10 1000
acres. and to substitute for the house
provision regarding 10 the appointment
OF judges and other officers Of the is
land the senate provision. The house
provision lodged the appointing power
IN the governor; the senate placed 1t in
the president.
The Senate.
During yesterdays comparatively
brief open session Of the senate Mr..
Gallinger Of New Hampshire presented
an argument against the seating of
Hon. NJ. s. Quay as senator from Penn.
sylvania. He devoted himself almost
entirely to the constitutional phase OF
the question. Most OF the day was
spent in executive session.
The House.
Washington. April Z. - The house,
after four days Of debate. passed the
substitute for the senate bill providing
Tor territorial form of government
for Hawaii. The bill now goes to con-
ference. The most interesting feature
or the days session was the attempt
of Mr.. Hill Of Connecticut to secure
the adoption Of two amendments. one
providing for resident commissioner
instead Of delegate in congress and
the other declaring that nothing in the
act should be construed as a pledge OF
statehood. Both were overwhelming
ly defeated.
The Senate.
Senator Deboe Of Kentucky yester-
day gave notice that he would move
to refer the credentials Of Former SEN
ator j. G. s. Blackburn. as a senator
from that state, to the committee on
privileges and elections. During the
greater part OF the session the senate
had under consideration the Indian ap-
preparation bill. Mr.. Sullivan of Mis-
sissippi delivered speech in favor Of
the seating OF Hon. NJ. s. Quay.
