The first section provides that the pow
ers of supervision possessed by the Board
OF Charities shall be transferred to the
Interior Department.
A second section of the bill provides
that the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia are authorized to enter into
contract with the Secretary OF the In
terror for the care, at reasonable per
capita rate. of all persons from the Dis
trct OF Columbia treated in the Freed
mans Hospital and the Founding Hos
pital, and that hereafter no PORTION OF

paid from the revenues of the District of
Columbia except as provided in the first
section.
President Showers Report.
The bill is accompanied by reports from
President z. T. Sewers. of the Founding
Hospital, to the Interior Department max
ing rather caustic reference to the desire
of the Board of Charities to cut down tfe
annual appropriations to the District of
Columbia charitable institutions. DR..
Sewers states that his institution is like
Iy to fail il 1t does not receive its annual
appropriation of $1,000. He states fur
ther that if the institution is net able
to carry on its work it will lose its
ground and buildings, worth about slio,-
600, under the provisions of the will OF
the late Joshua Pierce. who bequeathed
them expressly for foundling hospital.
The measure is understood to have
originated with the Interior Department
The Senate District Committee did not
care to discuss the proposition YESTERDAY
DR.. Sewers stated to reporter for The
Times last night that the control OF the
institutions. should be in the hands OF
the Interior Department. An opinion by
the Attorney General last year, he said,
defined the status of the institutions, in
accordance with which Mr.. McMillans
bill has been introduced.
A member of the Board OF Charities
declared on the contrary. that the Nc
MILAN bill could not be passed, as the
law establishing the boards status is
complete upon the point involved.

House After Strong De-
bate Approves
Measure.
THREE MINOR AMENDMENTS.
Certain Statistics to Be Fin
ished by July 1, 1904.
ONLY AMERICAN CLERKS
Salary of DisbursinG and Appoint
ment Clerk Increased to S2,"eo
Per Annum-A Recognition OF the
Services of the Incumbent.

After a tempestuous debate the Hop
kins bill. establishing a permanent
Census Office, passed the House yester-
day with only three minor amendments
which do not affect the purposes of the
measure.
Considerable opposition was manifested
toward tie bill, but it was not organized
and accomplished no results. When the
vpte was taken the bill passed without
division.
Discussion over Civil Service.
That portion of the bill placing the en-
ployes of the bureau under the civil ser
vice rules and making them eligible for
transfer to any of the classified branches
of the service provoked the liveliest dis
cussion. 1t went through, however, with
out any change or alteration, and thus
the official heads of some 1000 clerks in
the bureau are saved, provided, of course,
that the Senate takes speedy action along
the same lines.
During the consideration of one of the
amendments proposed occurred a test
vote on the Republican proposition to cut
down. Congressional representation in the
southern States. and the Democrats, to
their extreme delight. scored victory.
Representative Ball (Dem., Tex) pro-
posed an amendment to the civil service
clause, providing that the number of
clerks employed in the permanent estab-
lishment should be apportioned among
the several States according to their pop
ulation. Mr.. Holiday (Rep., Ind.) moved
to amend by making the apportionment
ording TO Congressional districts in
stead. Mr.. Ball accepted the amendment.
Aimed Mt the Democrats.
AIR. Mercer (Rep., Neb.) then attempted
a coup, which he intended would act as
boomerang upon the Democrats. He pro-
posed an amendment to the effect that
the basis of apportionment should be
made according to the vote cast in the
last Presidential election. A howl of dis
approval went up from the minority side
of the chamber.
When the vote was taken the PROPOSE
tion was lost-91 to 115-seyeral Republic
cans voting in the negative and others re-
framing from voting. The Democrats ap-
plauded.

DISCUSS DISTRICT FUNDS.
Bankers Association Holds an In
formal Meeting.

tOrmns
The question of depositing funds OF the
District of Columbia in the national
banks OF Washington, instead of in the
Treasury of the United States, as is the
present custom, was one of the important
matters discussed last night at an in
formal meeting of the Bankers Associa-
tion, held at the Barton. The point was
raised by Mr.. E. S. Parker. of the Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank, in the course
of a general discussion of banking ques-
tions
Mr. Parker said he believed that moneys
raised by taxation in the District of
Columbia should be deposited in the
banks, and thus put into circulation,
rather than placed in the Treasury vaults,
where they remain from the time of col
lection until the following June, without
benefit to any one. and without produc-
ing interest.
George c. Heaning spoke of the nego-
table instrument act passed by Congress
about two years ago. L. NJ Saunders, at
the request OF the association, made
report upon the proposed amendment to
the bankruptcy act, which has been in
troduced in the House by Representative
Ray, of New York, and is now before Con-
gress.
: The next meeting of the association
will be held on March g. at Columbian
University. The dean of the school and
his political economy class will be pres
ent. The meeting will be a public one.
Well known financial men of New York,
Baltimore and this city will speak.
Among those who will deliver addresses
will be William A. Kildridge, of New
York; Lawrence G.. Kemp. OF Baltimore,
and Lewis ]. Davis of Washington.

SEVENTEENTH STREET EXTENSION
Commissioners Have Prepared Re
port ON the Senate Bill.

The District Commissioners yesterday
prepared their report upon the Senate
bill providing for the extension of Sew
enteenth Street northwest. The report

THE estimated cost of the extension is
as follows: Land. s166. 200; grading s21.
$50; macadamizing. 10000; total siS7 $50

TO HEAT DISTRICT STREET, CARS.
Bill to That Effect Introduced in the
Scnute,

Senator Hoar believes that the street
cars of the District of Columbia should be

also favors a supervision of the car SER
vice by the District Commissioners and
Congress. He introduced a bill in the
Senate yesterday to regulate the heating
and care of street cars in the District OF
Columbia.
The bill provides that the Commission
ers of the District of Columbia shall make
requests to the street railways yearly or

shall report yearly to Congress if the
railways have properly complied with
their requests.

BOARD Of CHARITIES
MAY lose POWERS
Senate Bill for Control of
District Hospitals.
GIVEN TO INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
Senator McMi1lnn's Measure, 1t Is
stated, Is to Remove Complications
Which Might Result In Future
Views on the subject.

Under the terms of bill introduced in
the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Mcmillan
and in the House by Mr.. Babcock, the
control of the Government Hospital for
the Insane, the Freedman's Hospital and
Asylum. and the Washington Hospital for
Foundlings will be vested entirely in the
Interior Department, and the powers of
the Board of Charities in the manage
ment of those institutions revoked
The institutions named are already un-
der the control OF the Interior Depart
ment to a large extent. The Board of
Charities. by the law under which the
board was established in 1900. was given
certain powers of supervision, and it is
these which will be taken away The
management will pass exclusively to the
Interior Department the measure pro-
posed by Mr.. Mcmillan being practically
an amendment to the law under which the
Board of Charities was formed
To Make Law More CIenr.
DR.. Richardson, superintendent of the
Government Hospital for the Insane, last
night explained that the bill proposed by
Mr.. Mcmillan is merely to make more
clear the law establishing the Board of
Charities. The question of control, he
said, is now complicated.
The Interior Department has control
of the institutions affected" said DR..
Richardson, although certain powers of
supervision are. given to the Board of
Charities. No misunderstanding between
the Board of Charities and the Interior
Department in the management of the in
stitutions has arisen. The change il, the
management is thought wise, in view of
the fact that complications might readily
arise"
The wording of the title of the bill
would seem to indicate that the change is

FiIipinos Compared to Patriots.
Senator Tillman drew a comparison be-
tween the utterances and actions of the
patriots of the colonies against the Gov
ernment of Great Britain during the war
of the Revolution, and the present atti-

ment in fiery manner that his ancestors
