Their Legality Questioned.

A Washington dispatch to the Chi cago Record says:
 President Mckinley'S action in ap- proving appropriation bills on Sun day, March 3, has had all official Washington in a fret lest the laws should be declared void. A declara- ton of the illegality of such laws by the attorney general would require an extra session of congress to reap propriate more than S300,O00,0O0 to keep the wheels of government running during the next fiscal year.
 The acts which the president ap. proved on Sunday and which are in- volved in the question discussed are the following:
 Postoflice appropriation law, naval appropriation law, sundry civil law, legislative, executive and judicial law, general deficiency law, Indian appro- priation law, St. Louis exposition law.
 The question of the legality of the laws was first raised in the office of the comptroller of the treasury, one of the officials of which communicated with the state department. Mr. Allen, the librarian of the state department, who sees to the printing of all these laws, preparation laws named had been ap- proved on Sund ly and concluded after consideration that If the matter was brought into the courts the iudici- ary would sustain the legality oi the laws notwithstanding their approval on Sunday. The only question which Mir. Allen thought might arise grew out of the fact that the senate had ad- journed, according to the record of its proceedings, on the Legislative day of Saturday, March 2,n and the house on its Legislative day of Friday, March l."
 It might be contended that because these laws had been approved by the I
  congress, they were not legal. Refer ence of the question to the attorney general resulted in an opinion that as q record of the proceedings of con gress contain statements showing that congress was actually in session on the calendar day of March 8, as we'll as on the calendar day of March 1, the laws were legal.
 Inquiry at the department of jus tice brought forth the statement that even though the president had ap- proved the appropriation laws on Sun- day 1t was the belief of the law officers that the courts would sustain their validity.

TEMPERING COPPER.
A W oman's Alleged Discovery of
 Lost Art.

A Seattle, Wash, dispatch to the Examiner says: A Seattle woman Mrs. Carrie Renstrom, aided by her two sons, R. $. Anderson and George A. Renstrom, and with much circum- stantial evidence of the truth of her assertion that she has discovered the lost art of tempering copper to fine ness and strength superior to the best steel. Her discovery, if true, reveals a metallurgical secret which has long batiled scientists, for not since the iron age have men known how to bring copper iD weapons and edged tools where it would equal steel in strength and durability.
 While guarding her secret with the watchful eye of mother over her threatened babe, Mrs. Renstrom never theless exhibits as proof of her claim several knives whose edges cut pol ished iron. She has also made a trolley wheel of solid copper, thing said to be unknown in electrical engineering. The Renstroms began working on their process five years ago at Airing ton, Wash. Anderson, the son by Mrs. Renstrom's first husband, said:
 'We have the process perfect until we can temper copper to point. We sharpened piece which cut the face of a polished fiat-iron. We will tell nothing of our secret, of course, save that we do the temperiDg of the tool or weapon ourselves, after it has been cast m the mold"
 Anderson is veteran of the Span- ish-American war, private in com pany II First Washington volunteers.
