Special Correspondence.
Washington, April 1S.--The labor in
terests are not satisfied with the Mel.
son bill for a department Of commerce
and labor but want separate de-
partment OF labor, with cabinet Of
hcer The power which the labor in
terests have exerted seems to indicate
that they may he able to get what they
want, or II they do not get a separate
department, they viii at least prevent
the present labor bureau from being
incorporated In the department Of
commerce. It is doubtful whether II
Is expedient to have this bureau sep.
arated from the department OF COM
merce. The proposed department Is
largely for the purpose Of gathering
! statistics and that is the chief feature
! Of the present bureau Of labor, Ac-
cording to the bin as II passed the
senate, nearly all of the statistical bu-
reaus Of the government were includ-
ed, but the amendments that have been
proposed In the house committee have
greatly decreased its importance The
senate may resist the attempt TO keep
the labor bureau separate from the
bill, but organized labor Yields tre-
mendous influence upon legislation.

A MILD SUBSTITUTE.
Senator Kean of New Jersey has Of
fered very mild proposition, which
may be accepted as a substitute for
several bills and resolutions that have
been proposed, relating to the disfran-
'hsement Of the colored voters In the
iouth, Senator Kean's bill Divides
or a commission which shall make a
thorough investigation of the condi-
ion of the colored race throughout tae
United States. No section is mentioned
Tor does the bill indicate that there Is
o be any partisan politics connected
With IT, The probabilities are. how
yer, that even II Senator Kean's mild
MEASURE comes before the senate for
iscussion the whole subject OF the ,
ace question Will be opened up.
CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION Y
SLEEPS.
Meanwhile the Republicans OF the ,
ouse do not seem anxious to rush into
debate on the Crumpacker resolution. 4
has been several weeks now since !
he committee on rules authorized a ,
lyorable report on the Crumpacker :
solution, but no one seems 20 know \
nd few. seem to care when the resou-
on Is to come up for discussion. The
production Of this resolution and the =
elton OF the committee on rules have y
iused some discussion In the senate +
pom the negro question and southern 2
but outside Of these \
'uptions there has been very little in !
rest In the subject, i
