ACOMMERCE BUREAU.
Senator Nelson Urges the Measure
Providing for One.
The PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL.


Washington, Jan. 14.-ln the SEN
ate yesterday Senator Nelson, Of
Minnesota, called up the bill pro-
yidhg for The establishment of de.
partmcnt Of commerce. lie said the
necessity for bureau of commerce
lied become more important and ur-
gent every year. The great problem
was to secure and hold greater and
more extensive markets abroad
Without such department we not
only would be on an inequality with
our industrial and commercial rivals
but at great disadvantage. lie
argued that such a department would
protect our laboring men against inn
proper immigration and bring them
into closer relation and better har-
mony with the employers of labor.
Senator Teller asked upon what
theory the bill sought to transfer
from the interior department the
geological survey, etc.
Senator Nelson explained that the
duties Of the geological survey were
principally the investigation Of the
mineral resources of the United
States, but that the bill did not
change the scope of the bureau
simply adding bureau Of mines.
The bill finally went over, subject
to call by Senator Nelson. The sen
