Secretary Hay.
Washington. March 15.-The house
yeterday passed the postoffice appro-
priati0ns bill. The only amendment Of
Importance adopted was one to incor-
porate In the bill the provisions Of the
bill to classify the rural delivery serv-
ice, passed a few days ago.
Quite a number Of other bills were
passed, including three bills for ma
rine hospitals at Buffalo, Savannah
and Pittsburg. The Burleson resolution
calling on the secretary. Of state for the
facts relative to the case of DR.. Thomas
and wife, who desired to go to South
Africa to distribute, relief funds, was
adopted after a short debate, in the
course of which Mr.. Hit, chairman Of

In the Senate
Throughout the session Of the senate
yesterday the ship subsidy bill was un-
der discussion. The measur was dis
cussed by Mr.. Foraker Of Ohio, Mr.. Nc
Laurin Of Mississippi and Mr.. Harris Of
Kansas. Mr.. Foraker supported the
bill, although he admitted that he
would havev preferred to build up the
American merchant marine by the
levying Of discriminating duties. He
was willing, however, to defer to the
judgment of the majority that the
pending MEASURE embodied the better
plan. Both Mr.. McLaurin and Mr..
Harris opposed the measure on the
ground that in their judgment it was
unconstitutional.

UP TO CLAYTON.


Charges Against the AMbassador
Are Forwarded to Him.
Washington, March 16.-The Chinese
against Ambassador Powell Clayton
submitted yesterday to the state de-
partment were forwarded to him in or
der that he may make reply If he cares
to do so.
1t appears that the fight against the
ambassador has been in progress for
several months, and he is aware of all
that has been done by his opponents
up to this point. Now the question is
for the first time raised formally as to
the propriety Of an ambassador or min
lister engaging in business. or even
having financial interests in the coun-
try to which he is accredited. 1t is be-.
lieved that there is no specific law upon
the subject and 1t is suggested that the
determining point in nthis case will lie
in the character of Mr.. Clayton's in
vestn:ents and the extent to which
they right seem to tend to influence his
ambassadorial actions.

CRIMINAL COURTS
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE Tt1EuNE.l

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIgUNE-1
Albany, Jan. IA bill was introduced to-day by
Senator Elsberg, of New-York establishing a
separate children's court which is to be presided
over continuously by one or more justices of the
Court OF Special Sessions The bill also provides
for the appointment by the Mayor Of addI-
donal justice, for Il term of ten years.
The revised charter. which went into effect on
January !, made provision for such court, but
provided that 1t should be conducted by the city
magistrates, each OF whom would preside over
it for a certain length of time, and each taking
his term in rotation.
The bill of Senator Hlsberg, which has the in
dorsement Of the leading charitable societies of

TO this end provides that the court shall be held
in a separate building and that clerk and dep
uty clerk. and as many officers and attendants as
may be necessary, stall be appointed by the jus
tee presiding over the court
II Is urged by the supporters of the bill that it
will still further isolate children under sixteen
years of age. from the associt ton of hardened
criminals. Senator Elsberg also introduced a bill
raising the age limit from fourteen to sixteen
years of children VINO to be tried for misde-
meanor when charged with felony.
