News Notes From the Capltar
There has been a tendency 10
"kiil time In Congress during the
past week, Ahe Senate having act.
ed with great deliberation end the
House having been equally dilatory
in the transaction OF business. The
Senate, last Friday passed the
Permanent Census Bureau bill and
il vas Immediately sent to the
White House for signature, but
the President expressed himself as
seriously disappearing the clause
which covered into the civil
service all OF the clerks employed
by the Bureau at the time OF the
passage Of the bill, and he has so
far reIrained from signing il, al.
though strong pressure has been
brought, by those members Of
Congress who have proteges in the
Bureau, to induce him to do SO.
The claim is made that the EN-.
ployees of the Bureau, having
served in the preparation of the
present census. were more capable
than those persons who had be-
come eligible for the appointment
by passing the civil service exami-
nations and there is strong Iikeli-
hood the President would have ac-
cepted this view but for the fact
that numerous clerks have been
dismissed within the past few
weeks and their places filed by the
Director with persons who had
stronger political Influence. 1t is
regarded as quite possible that,
before the ten days shall have
elapsed, the President will init
mate to Director Merriam that
il he will immediately discharge
as many clerks as possible the bill
will be signed; otherwise it will
be vetoed.
On Saturday the Senate passed,
almost without opposition, Senator
Hansbrough's irrigation bill and
Monday Senator Frye took up his
ship subsiday bill and it is still
1.-THE order Of business" The
democrats have given notice that,
while they desire some time to pre-
sent their objections to the meas
ure, they will not hlibuster, and it
is a foregone conclusion that the
bill will be passed by the Senate
in the near future. The outcome
of both the irrigation and subsidy
bills in the House is more problem
atieal.
The House Of Representatives
is considering the report made by
the Committee on Postofices and
Post Roads on the bin changing
the rural tree delivery from a salary
to a contract basis. The large
majority OF the committee reported
in favor Of letting the routes to the
lowest bidders, but the minority
opposed the system and their re.
port is receiving considerable sup
port on the floor Of the House.
While Senators are naturally 10th

ton in the House and which has
not been officially brought to their
notice, = number of western Sena-
tors have told me that, at this
time, they are opposed to making
the change, although they say also
that they are open to conviction.
