Jnnnary-Chnnge of Indian Ter
ritory's Name to JcHer-
son Proposed.

Representative Hopkins is the author
of a measure introduced in the House to
make the Census Bureau permanent
branch of the Government. This PROPOSE
tion meets with popular favor and it is
very likely to be enacted into law. The
House, in adopting its rules, incorporated
provision making the Census Committee,
which was a select committee in the last
Congress, a standing committee in the
present Congress, and the bill will go to
that body for consideration.
To Change Date of Convening.
To change the time of the convening Of
Congress is the purpose of Representative
Shafroth. The Colorado member has in
troduced bill providing that beginning
with the Fifty-eighth Congress sessions
shall open on the third Monday in jan
uary for the first session. and on the first
Monday after the first day of January
thereafter
To Lessen Hours of Labor.
Some relief is in sight for the guards
and watchmen at the District workhouse
who are now obliged to work about
twelve hours a day. Representative otey
Of Virginia has introduced in the House
a resolution directing that the District
Commissioners shall inform the Hyuse
whether il the interests of humanity and
the good of the service it would not be
eXpedient to double the force of guards
and thus reduce the number of hours Of
labor.

Representative Mooa of Tennessee has
introduced bill for the formation of she

Independence. According to Mr. Moon
hlIl the proposed newly named Territory

that of Arizona and New Mexico, and en-
titles the Territory 10 a Delegate in Con

lay seem advisable.
An effort was made to apply the x-rays,
and the bullet was located in the back of
the neck and to the lef. resting against
the vertebrae. An operation viii prob

occurrence.
A second brother of his. Dr. F. W. Stifr.
a dentist in Richmond. reached the hos
pital during the night and directed that
no expense be spared. and that his brother

est brother, W B. Stiff. has been teIe-
graphed to at his home in Kansas, and

reached there concerning the tragedy, but
that it was reported that Taylor had en-

MORE PAGES FOR THE HOUSE.
FuII-Grewn Men to Act No Longer
as Messenger Boys,

A number of the doorkeepers of the
House have been replaced by pages.
Formerly there were four doorkeepers
stationed at each door, and they carried
in the cards of visitors to the members
on the floor. Objection was made to men
performing this duty. which was thought
to be more fitting for boys. Two messen-
gers on each door have therefore been re-
placed by pages.
The increase in the positions for pages
has pleased the boys. but the messengers
who lost their places by the change are
