IN THE HOUSE.
Bill Passed Providing for a Permanent
Census.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The House, to-
day, passed the bill for the creation of
a permanent census bureau. The

were opnosed to making the employees

permanent organization will succeed
the present temporary organization.
July /. 1902 and all employees on the
rolls upon the date of the passage of
the act will become eligible for transfer
to other departments or retention in
the permanent organization. The bill
also provides for a manufacturing CEN
sus in 1905 and for the collection of GER

in the session bill was passed for the
protection of the lives of minors in the

mines should employ shot firers to fire
shots therein. While the bill was being
discussed som othing of a stir was caused
bv the appearance of the officers and ma
rines of the German cruiser Moltke who
had visited the Senate and had marched
into the House public gallery in uniform
and accottred with their side arms. The
confusion was so pronounced that the
Speaker was obliged to call the House to
order.
The Lacey amendment was adopted and
the bill was passed.
The House then went into committee of
