to scorn and this would share the same
fate.
Mr.. Hoar criticised the bill as contain
ing no protection against favoritism and
advocated the adoption of Mr.. Clay's
amendment.
Mr.. Berry then moved to displace the
ldrich bllwit the anti-turust bill. but
the motion was defeated by a party vote
except that Senators Hoar, Nelson and
Mason voted IN the affirmative with the
Democrats. The vote stood 80 to Al.
Consideration of the Aldrich bill then
was resumed Mr. Bailey said he intend
ed TO vote for the bill, saying that his
course would be aceentuated by his aver
sion to the accumulation of money in the
Treasury He explained that he was not
only opposed to keeping the surplus in
the banks. but against a system of tax
alton that would make a surplus. As,
however, he could not have his way
about the accumulation he was willing
to unite with Senators in taking the next
best course. which was to distribute the
money already collected. He said it was
inconsistent for the Democrats to de-
mand an expansion of the currency and
money we have.
Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky, opposed
the bill He said that under its pro-
wilson's the banker could take money
from the Treasury vaults by paying l1a
per cent upon it and then loan it out at
a rate of interest known only to the
banker and the Lord" He was, he said,
opposed to national banks upon principle,
and he considered this bin as merely an
enlargement of the functions of the Ea-
tional bank. He admitted that there is
a congestion of money in the Treasury,
but charged that this circumstances is
due to the system Of overtaXation which
he opposed.
Coming back to Mr.. Morgan as an
illustration" said Mr.. Blackburn, would
he not find himself in possession of such
collateral as would enable him to draw
out some of the surplus?'
Mr.. Aldrich: Il do not know
Mr. Blackburn HAS he any such Sc
curity now?'
Mr.. Aldrich: q again answer that 7
do not know
Mr.. Blackburn: Nor di l, but I sus-
pect he has"
Mr.. Aldrich stated that Mr.. Morgan
could not get the government money from
the Treasury unless he could supply the
kind of security demanded by the terms
of the bill.
Mr.. Blackburn gave notice of his in
tention to offer the Littlefield Anti
Trust Bill as an amendment to the pend
ing bill.
Mr.. Teller also said that the revenues
should be reduced, whereupon Mr.. Aid
rich asked the Colorado Senator if he
would cooperate with the Republican
side of the Chamber at the next ses-
sion in reducing the revenues, (which,
he added, I'VE shall certainly undertake
to do. providing there is a surplus"
Mr.. Teller replied that he would be
found willing to lend his aid in the di-
rections indicated, and said that he be-
lieved the Democrats would all be found
of one mind in that respect
The bill was then temporarily laid
aside and the conference report on the
District Columbia Appropriation Bill
was agreed to-
The immigration Bill was then taken
up and passed, with an amendment Of

washington. Feb. 2s-The Democrats
the House today and even under the op-
Grafton of the special rules adopted yes
terday, the majoritys progress with ap-
propriation bills and conference reports
was exceedingly slow and laborious. The
Democrats forced a roll call on every
proposition and compelled the reading
in extense of everything presented. Every
parliamentary expedent was seized TO
delay matters, and at the end of a ses-
sion of over nine hours when the House,
completely worn out, at sos o'clock to-
night took a recess until noon tomorrow
Sunday there was no sign of Demo-
Gratis abating their opposition.
The reading clerks tonight were eX-
hausted by the long strain of trying to
make themselves heard above the cease
less direction and confusion on the floor
There were fifteen roll calls and Two
calls of the House. The feature OF the
day was the passage of the Senate Omni-
bus Public Building bill with House
amendments, which later increased the
total carried by the bill to over S6,00O,OOV.
The leaders who opposed the bill did not
attempt to defeat il, and it was passed
205 to 26 under suspension of the rules.
Mr. Mann (RepD of Illinois, took oc-
casion during the debate upon it to charge
"collusiOn" between the architect and
the contractor for the Chicago public
building. Mr.. Gaines CDem.) of Tenncs-
see. during the discussion of a conference
report, bitterly arraigned the authori-
ties fer selling the sacred relics the
White House. including, he said, side
board which, he said had been presented
to Mrs Hayes by the W. G. r. u, and
which he said, was now reposing in a
Washington brewery. The men who Sc
cured the sideboard, Mr. Gaines said, mad
secured other sacred relics in junk and
intended to fit up a white House sal

Gaines said that other valuable meen-
tos other days, including a miraor pre-
scented by Count Rochambeau and 5ronZes
presented by General Patterson to Presi-
dent Jackson had been sold as junk.
Mr. Grosvenor (Rep) of Ohio, denied

THE OLD sUR-TREAsURY SCHEME.
Berry of Arkansas Thus Characterizes the
Bond Deposit Bill
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Senate today
passed the Notifications Appropriations
bill ard the House immigration bill with
amendments. The General Deficiency
bill, the last of the appropriation meas
ures TO be considered was reported from
committee. The greater part of the day
was given up to the consideration of
the Aldrich Bond Deposit bill, which was
debated at length, but upon which a vote
was not reached. While the bill was IN
der discussion Mr. Aldrich said that the
Republican party would undertake the
reduction of the revenues at the next
session of Congress. provided there was
a surplus
The Senate agreed to take up the AID
rich bill by vote of AZ to is. The vote
displaced the Statehood bill as the I'M
finished business.
Mr.. Berry of Arkansas, opposed the
Aldrich bill on the ground that it ex-
tends and enlarges The powers of the
Secretary of the Treasury. 1t permits
him, he said, to select particular class
of national banks with whom he win
deposit money But he cannot extend
the privilege to any State bank although
it might be fore solvent or equally so
as the national bank. He declared that
the law would be used for political pur-
poses and for favoritism.
ontinuing he said:
mo wonder j. Pierpont Morgan today
by reason of the transactions he has had
with different Secretaries of the Treas
cry has gained such an immense for
tune, such a control over the business
OF organization that he is more powerful
even than the President himself"
An amendment was offered by Mr.. Clay
of Georgia, requiring the Secretary of the
Treasury so far as practicable. to fairly
distribute the deposits authorized. Mr.
Clay called attention to the provision
for the acceptance of bonds of any city.
or county which has been in existence
for a period of twenty-five years and
said that if enacted into law it would
practically outlaw ten new States.
Mr.. Turner said the bill proposed the
grossest piece of faVoritism to class in
this country who already have been too
highly favored by laws which have been
enacted. 1t was the old Sub Treasury
scheme, he said, of the old Populist party
except that the beneficiaries under it are
the national banks and not the farmers.

They continued to be happy for almost
year. In March. 1908. Mrs. Todhunter
Parke became tired of keeping house.
Il think said she. that we will

Todhunter did not object. What will
we do with the furniture?" he asked.
Il believe we had better sell it. We
may not want to keep house again for a
long while and there is no sense in pay
ing storage bills We will have an auc-
ton"
They decided upon April % as a good
day for the sale and handbills to that
effect were distributed freely in their
part of town. On the evening of April
q Todhunter Parke met darlington
Paine in the lower hall.
Hello" said darlington
Hello" said Todhunter. The two
men had bumped against each other in
the semi darkness on the second floor
landing several times during the past
year, and that had served to put them
on a Hello" basis. darlington was in
friendly mood.
81 understand" he said, you are go
ing TO have an auction at your house
tomorrow"
Yes" said Todhunter. Going to sell
out and close UP SHOP
Sorry you are going" said Tarlin3-
ton. And that reminds me I'd like 10
ask a favor. I've got box full of truck
In the cellar that I'd like to get rid OF,
and if you don't mind l wish you would
let me bring the stuff up and auction
II off along with your things"
Todhunter was in an accommodating
spirit. and he said: Sure, send 'em
along" quite cordially.
About 2 O'Clock on the following day
the auctioneer turned his attention from
rugs and heavy furniture and began TO
rummage through an oak chest the jani-
tor and his assistant had just brought up
from the basement The first thing he
set on the table for inspection for a
statue of a brown horse carrying a
Ereen-clad jockey. Todhunter and his
wife happened to be standing side BY
side at the moment She said: "oh,
dear," and Todhunter said: well. I'll
be darnedn' Then they looked at each
other.
Are those things yours?' she asked.
The auctioneer stopped talking, and
held his hammer poised above the
statue.
Yes, they are mime said Todhunter.
The sale proceeded Mrs Parke re-
tired to the pantry to cry.
You have deceived me again" she
said when Todhunter appeared. You
did not sell those things. / am afraid

Todhunter did not say so, but IL looks
were any indication of mental disturb
ance, he did not lack much of being the
most miserable of men. Don't make q
