Army officers had nothing to do with the
questio OF the pending amendment. II
Army officers indulge in mining specula-

In the Senate yesterday a long discus
sion preceded the adoption OF the joint
resolution introduced by Mr. Foraker on
Wednesday, providing that Army officers
now performing civil duties in Porto Rico
shall continue to do so until civilian Off
Gals are appointed. the time being limited
TO August l. 1900. and that no officer s1all
lose his commission by so acting.
Mr.. Tillman said that though be had no
objection to the immediate consideration
OF the resolution, he desired TO ask the
Senator from Ohio how officers OF the Army
could lose their commissions by acting

CNr. Tillman) had been told that the Con-
stitution did not extend over the island.
Mr.. Foraker replied that the law pro-
hibiting officers Of the Army from holding
civil Offices was a statute, and was not
part Of the Constitution.
Other questions Of a similar nature were
asked By MeEsrs. Tillman and Bacon, and
had been answered by Mr. Foraker when
Mr. Chandler interposed the remark that

Mr.. Hoar from the Committee on jedi
ciary. reported the House bill relating to
the allowance Of exceptions by United
States judges, and it was passed. The
bill. which recently passed the House.
amends section $50 Of the Revised Statutes
so as to provide that in case Of the death
or disability Of the trial judge in any
cause his successor may hear and pass
upon motions for a new trial and allow
and sign bills OF exceptions. The bill is
intended to remedy a defect in the
law pointed out recently by the Su-
preme Court, which held that judge
who did not preside at trial could
not perform these functions. thus often
preventing the review Of causes by
| higher court
Mr. Hawley introduced bill providing
for the appointment of contract sur
geons" who have rendered satisfactory
service with the Army, and who have

Affairs.
After the passage of the joint resolution
relative to the administration Of civil af-
fairs in Porto Rico. which is referred to
elsewhere, the conference report on the
Hawaiian Government bill was called up
by Mr. Cullom. but after a short discus
sion it went over.
A bill was then passed authorizing the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue to
make allowance for internal revenue
stamps.
The bill authorizes the Commissioner
upon receipt Of satisfactory evidence Of
the facts. to make allowance for or re-
deem such OF the stamps issued under au-
| thority of law, TO denote the payment Of
any internal revenue tax, as may have
been spoiled, destroyed, or rendered use
less or unfit for the purpose intended or
for which the owner may have no use, CT
which, through mistake, may have been
improperly or unnecessarily used, or Of
which the rates of duty represented there
by have been excessive in amount. paid in
error. or in any manner wrongfully co..
lected.

! exhibit Of Government relics at the New
York Printing Exposition, from May 70

MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENTS.


An InNeStiEnsion 10 he Made Into
Their Compilation and Publication.
Mr. Chandler submitted a resolution in
the Senate yesterday. which was agreed
TO- directing an enquiry into the publish
ing Of the document known as Messages
and Papers of the Presidents The res
olution provides that the Committee on
Printing be directed to investigate the
facts connected with the compilation and
publication Of the Messages and Papers Of
the Presidents" the results Of the commits
sions given 10 private persons to use the
stereotyped plates; the distribution Of
copies made gratuitously or otherwise by
the Government; the sales made by private
persons and the methods adopted in MAX
ing such sales; the circumstances under
which the compilation has been copy
righted. and the other material facts sur
rounding the compilation and distribution
Of the volumes. and report 70 the Senate
the result Of the enquiry and any legisla-
ton which may be deemed desirable by
the committee.
Representative Richardson compiled and
edited the work and, in consideration OF a
royalty paid him, gave permission TO J. S
BarCus a New York publisher to use the
stereotyped plates. The investigation is in
tended to bring out the facts relating to
the granting Of this permission 10 a pri-
vate firm to publish and sell books that
were originally issued from the Govern
ment Printing Office as public documents.
As soon as the resolution was passed, Mt.
Richardson appeared on the floor Of the
Senate and had talk with Mr.. Platt Of
New York Chairman of the Committee on
Printing The Senator said afterward that
the investigation would not begin before
next week.
Under the terms Of the resolution the
committee may not be able 10 get at the
bottom Of the scandal as no power is given
to send for persons who can furnish the
necessary information.
