DOING HIS DUTY.
No Complaint Against Loomis. Min
lister to Venezuela.

Washington, March 16.-It can be
stated upon authority that up to the
present no complaint has been lodged
against Mr. Loomis minister to Vene-
zuela, by the Venezuelan government,
nor has there been any suggestion
from that source that his withdrawal
would be acceptable. The officials
again declare that Mr.. Loomis has
been doing his duty and no more than
his duty, and as is well known, he
has acted under instructions from his
own government, there is not the least
apprehension that any attempt will be
made to hold him personally RESPONSE
bue for the friction that has followed
the attempt to settle the asphalt con-
troversy-
TITS belief on the part of the Off
Gals is confirmed by Senior Pulido, the
Venezuelan charge here, who has
stated that the Venezuelan govern
ment has only the kindiest feeling to-
ward Mr.. Loomis and that the attacks
which are said to have been made
upon the minister came from irrespon-
sible newspapers which certainly did
not represent the Venezuelan govern
rnent.

Shey were some years ago. remember
the time when it was considered the
proper thing for senator's and members
to ship home anything they wished by
simply placing their address and their
frank upon it. That time has, fortu-
nately for the service, gone by. It is
now considered a breach Of good man

that cannot be packed in the special
boxes, or in the mail sacks which are
provided for documents.

and even buggies and carriages We're

Franked a Safe Home.
Probably the worst job 1 ever had to
tackle was when a. retired senator
franked home q safe In his committee
room at the capitol he had a very fine
and large safe which had been pur-
chased for she use of mis- committee, but
which had been condemned and sold
TO him at an infnitesimal price. 1t
weighed about 5000 pounds. All the
senator did was TO place an address and
frank upon II and notify the post
Office to send for it. They got it all
right, bat the getting was accompanied
by much sweating and many cuss
words. What the clerks in the post
Office where it was shipped said when 1T

him for anything that may be asked to

ing in a business and friendly union.

CHECK AGAINST SCANDAL.
Special Committee Reports on House
Force Reorganization.

Mr. Hemenway, (Rep.. Ind. for
the committee appointed at the
last session to investigate and report
upon the question of reorganization Of the
force of employees Of the House, reported
yesterday, continuing the arrangement
made for the present fiscal year by the
legislative bill of last Marc1. with addi-
tional safeguards TO prevent repetition
OF the scandals that led to the action of
last session.
The plan provides for slight increase
of the force of employees, whose aggre
gate pensation-slightly under s25, 900
lis not equal TO the usual amount voted
annually for extra services. II is further
provided that no employe should be put
at any other work than that for which
he was employed, and that the employees
OF the House library shall not be dis
missed except for cause.
No further legislation is recommended
at present, but the committee suggests
that II be continued. with power to re-
port at any time during the Congress,
and this was agreed TO. Mr.. Hemenway
stated that the action Of last winter had
already resulted in most healthfui con-
dition Of affairs. especially In the library,
and that all employees we're at their
places Of duty during the recess.
