to Postmaster Redfeld for the follow

orders, amounting to S10,39343.
Fees on above s51.7O; total cash
$40, ,445.13.
Estimating at one-fourth being sent
the cash so far as the postofiice shows
indicates a total of SAL 1,7S052.

ever done by the postoffice was on
July 1, 1902, when n money orders
were issued amounting to s2,O60.66,
fees $500
On June 80, 1902, "A orders were is
sued amounting to $9O9.6S; feesS542

NEW DISTRICT MEASURES.
One offered by Senator Mcmillan Further
Amends the Code.


Amends the Code.
Senator Mcmillan introduced a number
Of other District measures yesterday. One
of his bills provides for the amend
ment of the code with relation to the i'm
position of sentences in the District. A
sentence of less. than six months may be
to either the workhouse or the Jail. A
sentence OF more than six months and
less than year shall be to the Jail. A
sentence of more than year shall be
to the penitentiary. Cumulative SEN
tences. except those in the Police Court.
shall be regarded as one sentence under
this provision. ANY crime for which the
punishment is more than one year shall
be tried in the District Supreme Court.
third bill provides for an amendment
to the law providing for the cutting of
weeds on vacant ground in the District.
The amendment provides that weeds must
be cut when they are eighteen inches tall.
The old law made cutting compulsory
when they were four inches tall. The
Commissioners found this provision Of the
Law too expensive.
Senator Mcmillan also introduced bill
for the extension of Twentyfourth Street
northeast, from Frankfort Street to the
Bladensburg Road.
A proposed amendment to the District
appropriation bill was also introduced.
1t provides for an appropriation of s10,-
00c for metal book shelves in the Office
of the Recorder of Deeds. Another appro-
priation of $4,000 is made for the index
ing OF old records in the same Office.

Bill Proposes Erection Building Lbzasy VIII

SanaorA Mcmillan

Another Supreme Court building bill
was introduced in the Senate yesterday
providing for s3,OO0,OoO structure, north
of the Congressional Library and facing
the Capitol grounds.
The bill was introduced by Mr.. McMil-
Ian. chairman of the Senate District Com
n:ittee. 1t differs from the measure in
troduced few days ago in providing for
a Supreme Court building only. The first
measure provided structure to house
the Supreme Court and the Department
of Justice.
Another difference in the present bill
is that it does not contemplate the use
of the ground north of Maryland Avenue.

to take some action.
1t is understood that Democrats Of the
Senate generally are in favor of the pop

are divided. Some are known to favor the
change of method, but great many be-
lieve that the present constitutional plan
is the wisest that could be devised. 1t
cannot be predicted with any certainty
how vote on the question In the Senate
would result.
Some cautious observers of events be-
lieve that despite the confidence of hr
Burrows, the question will not reach

sion 1t is suggested cynically that the
committee may, and probably will, make
a report, but that the question Will be

Mr.. Hit, Chairman OF the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, yesterday moved that
the House non-concur in the Senate
amendments to the diplomatic and con
sular service bill and that a conference
be asked for.
The Speaker appointed as managers on
the part of the House Messrs. Hit,

NO CANAL REPORT MADE.
Majority viii Favor the Adoption of the
Eicaraguan Route.

The Senate Committee on Canals did
not report to the Senate yesterday, as
some people predicted.
The report of the majority of the sub
committee on the title to the Panama
route and properties was made to the
full committee. 1t was an adverse report,
as has been stated heretofore.
Senator Kittredge will make a minority
subcommittee report that the Panama
title is good which may also be signed
by Senator Pritchard. This will be given
to the committee Immediately, having
been prepared already. Senator Kittredge
wished to see the majority report before
making his.
Ii is generally supposed that major
ity report of the full committee in favor
OF the Nicaraguan route will be made to
the Senate in few days. Senators Kit
tredge, Hanna. Millard. and P-itchard Will
make a minority report in favor of the
Panama route.
The Washington times., 1902-03-11

The first bill provided for acquiring all
the ground as far north as Street, a
lot of the same size as that occupied by
the Congressional Library.
This plan is believed to be mistake
by the District Committee. In the first
place. the Department of Justice is to be
provided for in the Executive, State, and
Justice Building, and there will not be
the necessity for such a large structure
for the Supreme Court alone.
In addition to this. the committee be-
lieves that 1t would be mistake to build
across Maryland Avenue and cut off this
vista of the Capitol building. In this par
ticular the Congressional Library build

Story That He Will Retire After Next
Term Untrue.

''The report that Representative Hull
promised never to be a candidate for
Congress again If the Republicans of the
Seventh Iowa district would only return

whole CLOTH" said Representative Lacey,
of Iowa, yesterday in speaking of the
recent hot fight at the Iowa primaries in
which Representative Hull clinched his
hold on denomination last week
This statement will shed light on the
perplexity of number of Mr.. Hulrs
friends who were much surprised at the
report that he had, in political sense,
gone on his knees and begged renomina-
tion. Mr.. Hull has pronounced the story
totally untrue.

The Senate may have a chance to pass
on the question of the method of the cleo
tion of United States Senators before
many weeks have passed.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, stated
yesterday that the committee will take
up the question shortly. 1t would have
been done before this. except for the
press OF other business.
Several State Legislatures have adopted
resolutions favoring the direct election Of
Senators by the people in manner similar
to the election of Representatives. These
resolutions have been sent to Congress
during the present session.

tender the thanks of Congress to Hon.
John Hay for his appropriate memorial

the resolution had been considered by any

Mr.. Grosvenor said it had not. but that
the resolution followed the language
used in the cases of Bancroft and Blaine.

rate shall be 6 cents a pound. The reduc-
tion made by the act of last March. how
ever, was not accomplished by specific
amendments to the tobacco section Of the
war revenue act.
A separate paragraph provided merely
for a rebate of 20 per cent on the tobacco
stamps sold, which practically reduced
the tax from II cents to 6-10 cents per
pourd AS that provision is not repealed
by the House bill. which fixes the rate at
cents per pound. the tobacco manufac-

the will of the House in this matter have
been introduced, and they will be brought
before the House at an early day.
Yesterday Representative Sims of Ten
nessee introduced the following resolu-
tion in the House. 1t is needless, per-
haps, TO say that the resolution expresses
the sentiment of more than three -fourths
of the membership OF the House:
Whereas as certain branches of the
work OF the Twelfth Census draw to 4
close a considerable number OF faithful,
able and experienced clerks and employees
thereof must necessarily be discharged; !;
and
Whereas these clerks, appointed from
all sections of the country from those who
passed highest in competitive examina-
tions of a substantial character, consti-
tuting fresh blood and progressive ener-
gies in the public service. and expert
enced in Government methods and rules,
well deserve to be made eligible for trans
fer to other departments of the Govern
ment where their services may be needed; /;
and
Whereas there will be less injustice
in postponing the appointment of those
who have merely taken civil service ex-
aminations and OF whose standing and
general capabilities there Is no available
knowledge, than in absolutely discharging
those census clerks who also have taken
examinations prescribed by law. received
meritorious promotion Hereunder and be-
come proficient in their duties. and, by
such discharges. so closing the doors
