CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Dec. practically the
entire time of the senate was devoted
to the introduction of bills and resolu-
tions Two OF these measures, relat-
ing to the suppression of anarchy and
dealing with anarchists, were allowed
to lie on the table so their authors,
Senators McCombs of Maryland and
Vest of Missouri may bring them to
the early attention of the senate. The
isthmian canal report was transmit
ted to the senate by the president and
several bills providing for the con-
struction of waterways one by Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama, who has led
past, were presented. Senator Nc
Comas' resolution declares that con-
gress has the power and should by
law provide that persons who will
fully kill or assault with intent to
kill the president or vice president or
both or any officer upon whom the
powers and duties Of the president
may devolve shall be punished with
death the federal courts to have juris-
diction over such offenses. Senator
Hoar introduced bill which provides
that any person who shall wilfully kill
or cause the death of a president of
the United States or any officer thereof,
or who shall wilfully kill or cause the
death of ruler or chief magistrate of
any foreign country shall be punished
with death; also that the attempt to
commit such murder shall be punished
with death. The president transmitted
the new -Pauncefote treaty for the
isthmian canal. Senator MOrgan's
bill for the construction of the Nicara-
guam canal appropriates a sum neces-
sary to complete the project. Sena-
tor Perkins bill on the same project
provides for the perpetual lease by
the United States of the right of way
across Nicaragua and Costa R1ca and
confers military, police and sanitary
control of the canal route by the
United States. 1t makes an appropria-
ton of $120,000000 Of which $12,000,
900 is to be expended annually. Sena-
tor Lodge introduced bill provid
ing that the tariff passed by the
Philippine commission September IL,
1901, shall remain in full force and eff
feet. This covers goods going into
the islands. Senator Lodge also in
troduced a bill providing for the re-
moval of the ten years limitation on
the Chinese exclusion act, thus leav-
ing the provisions of the Geary act in
force.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The senate
chamber was the scene of a highly
! dramatic episode when Senator Till
man Of South Carolina challenged
his colleague, Senator McLaurin, to
resign with him on the spot in order
that they might be able ito wash
their dirty linen at home" Senator
McLaurin did not take up the guage.
The incident was a. direct sequel of
the bitter controversy which arose
between the senators in South
Carolina last spring.
Senator McLaurin arose to a ques-,
| ton of personal privilege and pro
| ceeded to explain what he charged
was conspiracy to discredit him In
| his own state for acts and views
which did not meet the approval OF
certain democratic leaders. He de-
clared he was being Inundated and
| according to public prints was to be
excluded from the democratic caucus
because he had acted upon certain
public issues in a way which he con
| sidered was for the best interest OF
the country and the people of his
state. He announced himself be
/ lever in the old democracy and after
denouncing the new democratic
leaders who, he said, had brought
destruction upon the party, de-
clared he could not be driven from
his CID allegiance into a party with
which he did not care to affiliate
Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, de-
MED that he had any Interior motives
in not inviting Senator McLaurin TO
enter the caucus. Senator Tillman
reviewed the whole controversy.
Senator Lodge presented in execu-
tive session a report of the com
mittee on foreign relations, recon-
mending favorable action upon the
Hay-Pauncefote isthmian canal
treaty. Senator Hoar offered
resolution to authorize the president
to enter into negotiations with other
civilized countries for the purpose OF
selecting some island or other suit

instigating or counseling the destruc-
tion of all government or those at
tempting the lives Of chief magis-
trates. 1t was referred to the com

Hoar introduced a bill giving the
United States jurisdiction in cases "
lynching and making the crime OF
participation in lynchings punishable
by death.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The text of
the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty, pro
viding for construction of canal
across the isthmus Of Panama, sent
to the senate Wednesday, was made
public. The canal is to be free ana
open to the vessels of commerce aud
war of all nations observing the rules
substantially as embodied in the con
vention of Constantinople, signed
October %, 1888, for the free naviga-
ton of the Suez canal. The canal
shall never be blockaded, nor shall.
any right of war be exercised nor any
act OF hostility be committed within
it. The United States, however, shall
be at liberty to police, and protec'
and build and manage it.
Senator McComas of Maryland
made an extended speech with
anarchy for his theme and was follow
ed by some brief remarks by Senator
Hoar Of Massachusetts on the diff
ficulties in the way of dealing with
anarchist assassins. Senator Nc
Comas maintained that congress had
full power under the constitution to
enact law furnishing with death any
person killing the president or as
saulting the president with intent tc
kill Or aiding, melting or procuring
such an act. He favored rigid pro
visions in the immigration laws for
the deportation of alien anarchists
Senator Hoar said the difficulty was
that assassins of the kings and rulers
always gloried in their crimes and
were in no wise deferred by the fear
of punishment. For this reason he
thought it was almost useless to
multiply punishments. The most
effective remedy, he suggested, would
be to have the civilized nations Of the
world agree upon some desolate spot
on the earth's surface, to which all
anarchists who upheld assassination
or the overthrow of government
should be transported. In such a
community the anarchists. could carry
our their theories of living without
government and the world would be
rid of their presence. Senator Pen
rose introduced bill for the regula.
ton of immigration, prepared by him
self and the commissioner general Of
immigration, which looks to a general
revision of the laws upon this ques
ton. It provides for duty Of So per
head on all persons coming into the
United States from foreign countries,
except those who are citizens Of this
country or of Canada or Mexico.

For ages the French and English
controlled the manufacture of hair
pins. and it is only within the last 20
years that the goods have been pro-
duced in other countries to any extent.
The machinery used is of a delicate
and intricate character, as the prices
at which the pins are sold necessitates
the cheapest and most rapid process,
which can only be procured by auto
matte machines.
The wire is made expressly for the
purpose and put up in large coils,
which are placed in a clamp, and so
carried to the machine while being
Strengthened. This machine cuts.
bends, and. by delicate and instan
taneous process, sharpens the points.
Running at full speed. it will turn out
100 hairpins every minute. To econo-
mize it is necessary to keep the en-
gines going day and night.
The difficult part of the work Is in
the enamelling. which is done by dip
ping the pins in preparation and
baking in an oven. 1t is here that the
most constant and careful attention is
required, as the pins must be absolute
ly smooth and the enamel have per-
feet polish. The slightest particle of
dust causes imperfections and rough
ness.

Many Of the older settled states havs
capitols which were built many years
ago and were designed to meet condt
tions which nearly every state has
since outgrown. The capitol Of Alaba.
ma. at Montgomery, represents an in
vestment CT cn,y $50 1000, that OF Louis
lana, at Baton Rouge, S250c00, tht
grounds being included In this esti-
mate; that Of Kentucky, at Frankfort
the scene of the GQcbel shooting, $780,
600, grounds included, and that o.
Maryland, at Annapolis. 100000
There has been a general tendency tc
replace the Old buildings by new and
more costly structures, as Is being
done in Arkansas and Mississippi
Thus in Sacramento, the capital O:
California, the new building and
grounds represent a total expenditure
Of $S,000.000 Austin, Tex, has a S..
100000 capitol. Pennsylvania has al
Harrisburg S2,5O00 600 capitol. The
little state OF Rhode Island has al
Providence s3,e0o,000 capitol, and tn;
Iowa state capitol, at Des MOlnes
represents a total investment Of 49,.
100000. The Illinois capitol, at Spring
field. represents total investment OF
"a, 100000, and the Nebraska capitol
at Lincoln, represents a cost OF $780,.
900. The Wisconsin capitol, in the
small town Of Madison, represents an
investment of $1,000, 900, and Michigan
has at Lansing a s1,500,00O capitol.
In the smaller cities of the country
there are to be found usually the mCst
expensive capitols, circumstance
which has given rise to the expression
the smaller the capital town the more
expensive the capitol building" Colo
