Which Does Not Increase Face of

Public Buildings Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-Sena-
tor Martin has succeeded IN getuhs
through the Senate an amendment 10
the omnibus public buildings bill, which.
IL It lives through conference. VIII over

House bill and the bill reported by the
Senate Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds for the purchase OF the
Shafer property.
The amendment provides for the ace
QUESTION Of this property by condenna-
torv proceedings, but mentions no limit
of cost
In considering the chances of getting
his 5000 Ipn amendment through on the
floor of the Senate Senator Martin came
TO the conclusion that such move would
be inpossiblc owing to the opposition on
the part of the committee TO allowing
any amendments to pass on the floor
that would increase the appropriations
shown on the face of the bill. So Senator
Martin framed an amendment which pro-
vides that if a purchase cannot be ef-
fectcd for the amount carried by the
bili-s75, GOETHE Secretary OF the Treasu-
~ may institute condemnation proceed
ings. No limit of cost is mentioned in
the amendment. This shows no increase
Of appropriation on the face of the bill
and therefore escaped the antagonism OF
the committee.
What the attitude of Representative
Mercer toward this amendment Will be
when the bill goes to conference remains
TO be seen. The Senate has beyond
doubt done a good part by Richmond IN
this matter and it is now for the House
to settle the question.
Senator Martin also had passed this
morning the claim Gill of Chambin,
DuIaney and Scott. This bul passed
the House a day or two ago.
NATURAL BRIDGE PARK
The Natural Bridge Park bill. which
Representative Flood introduced IN the
House some time ago, has also been In
troduced in the Senate by Senator Mar
tin and referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs.
Representative Flood left Washington
to-day for Richmond to attend the Con-
stitutional Convention 1t had been N.Y.
Floods intention to leave yesterday, but
he was detained on account of business.
When asked how long he thought the
convention would take to complete its
work, he said:
IF they go straight ahead with the
business before them they should be
able to adjourn in about ten days or
two weeks"
