FOREIGN DECORATIONS.
A Sudden Halt Expected in a Very
Short Time.

Those persons who show eagerness to Sc
cure foreign decorations will be called to
sudden halt; in very short time by prac-
tically statement Of policy on the part
of senators who do not believe In allowing
government officers to accept such baubles
for alleged services which in many in
stances have turned out to be personal mat
tiers of a most trivial nature. A bill was in
troduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr..
Cockrell authorizing the acceptance or
decorations from the French republic by
John A. Ockerson, a member OF the Missis-
sipp1 river commission; Caspar S. Crownin-
shield, commercial agent of the United
States in Italy. and Miss Anna Tolman
Smith. translator of the bureau of educa-
ton. No special Information has yet been
received by the Senate to the reasons
for comforting decorations on these people.
but this one bill has been sufficient to
cause a discussion Of the matter, with the
view of laying down principles for the
guidance of the Senate in all such matters.
In the last Congress there was a deluge
of such bills. large number Of them were
PASSED by the Senate and again by the
House Of Representatives with amend
ments. They came back to the Senate and
by that time there were many other bills OF
similar nature. Some senators commented
on the number of these measures as indi-
eating that government officials were be-
coming extremely ambitious to secure for
eign decorations. There was much pressure
on the part or individual senators for the
passage of these bills but Senator Cullom
chairman of the committee on foreign rela-
lions, took the matter in hand in strong
way by moving that all such measures be
sent back to his committee. There they
went and there they have ever since slept
in or curity.
1t is likely that the same course will be
pursued in the present Congress. 1t was
declared that ii was never CONTEMPLATED
that Congress should pass bills for the ae-
ceptance of foreign decorations conferrad
for the most trivial reason. Information
has been given senator's showing that m M.

APPEAL BY LABOR.
Union Asks That Stone for Municipal
Building Be Cut Here,

Representative of the Stonecutters'
Union of the city were granted a hearing
by the District Commissioners today rela-
tive to the proposition of the union that the
stone for the new municipal building for
the District be cut in the city of Washing
ton. The stonecutters were represented by
James +. McHugh, secretary-treasnrer Of
the International Stonecutters' Union, and
Messrs- D. A. Conner and Thomas A. Camp
bell, delegates of the local union n
Mr. MeHugh offered for the consideration
of the Commissioners petition signed by
large number of residents of the District,
asking that a rule be established by the
authorities providing that in the erection
of public buildings in Washington all stone
for the same be cut in this city. Mr.. NC
Hugh stated that the Treasury Department
has made such a ruling with reference to
the erection of public buildings In other
cities of the country, and he said further
public officials to have stone for county or
state structures cut in the cities in which
the buildings are erected.
Mr.. McHugh argued that the proposition
of the union is one that will be benefit
not only to the stonecutters. but also to the
city at large. The cost of cutting the stone
for the new municipal building, which was
made a special object of the request was
estimated by. the union representatives at
about S25O0O0. This large sum of money,
he pointed out will be spent in the city by
those employed here on the work, and will
not be paid out to residents of other cities
or laborers in the vicinity of the quarries
from which the stone is taken.
Commissioner Biddle suggested that the
cutting of the stone in this city would be
more expensive than having it shaped at
the quarries. Mr.. McHugh stated, how
ever, that in view of the fact that there
will be active competition in the furnish
ing of the stone and among the contractors,
he is of the opinion that there will be little
6 to- t,n1 xxynS OF r
ed that the stone is sent out from the quar-
ries in certain dimensions specified by the
contractor, and that there will be little
waste in cutting it in this city. Mr.. Nc
Hugh stated that there are sufficient facil-
tiles in Washington for doing the work, and
that there need be no delay by reason Of
having the stone shaped to proper length
and width here.
The Commissioners seemed favorably i'm
pressed with the proposition and stated
that they will give the matter careful con-
sideration. If the difference in the cost Of
cutting the stone here and having it cut in
the quarries Is not too great it is likely
that the proposition of the union will be ap
proved by the District authorities.
Mr.. McHugh stated that the union In
tends to make proposition to the railroad
companies similar to that presented to the
Commissioners, in connection with the work
Of shaping the stone for the new terminal
station
