WORK OF THE CONGRESS.
what a Review of Its Legislation
DiscIOses.

Washington, Feb. 2S-The work of
this session of Congress, the closing of
which marks the expiration of the
Fifty-seventh Congress, is practically
at an end, except for the passage of
the appropriation bills now pending,
and these are in the final stages.
Among the acts of this session is
that creating the Department of Com
merce and Labor and adding another
cabinet officer to the Presidents Off
cial family. The bill creating this de-
partment contains provision for inves-
tigating corporations. Another impor-
tant piece of legislation enacted at this
session is the anti-rebate act, common
ly known as the Elkins law. Another
bill was passed which enables the At
torney General to expedite suits
brought under the Sherman antitrust
law.
One of the first acts of this session
was the removal of the tariff on coal
of all kinds coming from any foreign
country Legislation of Importance to
the army and navy was enacted. A
general staff corps has been provided
for the United States army.
The militia bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Dick of Ohio and which
passed the Honuse during the first SEES
sion, passed the Senate during this SEES
sion and has become law.
The naval appropriation bill, which
has passed both houses, provides for a
material increase in the personnel of
the navy to meet the growing demands
for officers and men; also for an in
crease in the number of warships
Measures of great Importance to the
Philippines have been adopted at this
session. An appropriation of $4,000, 900
was made to relieve distress and suf-
fering. A currency has been provided.
Another act promoted the efficiency of
the Philippine constabulary and still
another provided for extradition of
criminals.
The anarchy bill providing for the
protection of the President has passed
both houses, and conferees have
agreed upon it.

DEMOCRATS WORKING
THEIR FILIBUSTER.
Republicans Try to Laugh on Spoil
iatIOn of the White House.

Republicans Try to Laugh on Spoil
iatIOn of the White House.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Democrats
stuck to their flibustering programme
in the House to-day, and even under
the operation of the special rules adopt
ed yesterday, the majority's progress
with appropriation bills and conference
reports was exceedingly slow and labo-
riou3.
The Democrats forced a roll call on
every proposition and compelled the
reading in extenso of everything pre-
sented. Every parliamentary eXpcdi-
ent was seized to delay matters. and at
the end of a session of over nine hours,
when the House, completely worn out
at sos o'clock tonight, took d recess
until noon tomorrow Sunday, there
was no sign of the Democrats abating
their opposition.
The reading clerks were exhausted to-
night by the long strain of trying to
make themselves heard above the
ceaseless din and confusion on the floor.
There were fifteen roll calls and two
calls of the House.
The feature of the day was the pas
sage of the Senate omnibus public
DuiAOAIS Dlli, Nllii Rouse amendments,
which latter increased the total car
RED by the bill to over IS, 900 900. The
leaders who opposed the bill did not
attempt to defeat it, and it was passed,
2O6-26, under suspension of the rules.
Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee, during the
discussion of a conference report bit
terly arraigned the authorities for sell
ing the sacred relics" of the White
House, including, he said, a sideboard
10
Hayes by the w. G. T. L., and which
was now, he said, reposing in a Wash
ington brewery.
Tn man who secured the sideboard,
Mr.. Gaines said, had secured other sa-
cred relics sold as junk and intended
to mt up White House saloon" at
the ST. Louis exposition.
Mr.. Gaines said other valuable me-
mentos of other days, including a mir
ror presented by Count Rochambeau,
and bronzes presented by Gen Patter-
son to President Jackson, had been
sold as junk.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Republican of Ohio,
denied these charges, saying that
nothing but Secondhand furniture"
had been sold.
When Madison was President" in
terrupted Mr. Cannon, cit is related
that the washing was hung in the
east room-My God" he CALCULATED
with mock gravity, what has become
of the clothes line?"
Amid the laughter this evoked the
debate ceased.
The net result of the days session
was the sending to conference of the
naval and fortifcations appropriation
bills, the adoption of the conference
reports on the railroad safety appli-
ance bill, and the military academy ap-
preparation BILL the passage of the
omnibus. public building bill, and the
bill to settle the account of officers
during the Spanish war period, and
the adoption of the Senate amend
ments to two other comparatively I'M
important measures.

II hardly see how our good friend,
the postmaster, will be able to escape"
answered Judge Sawyer quietly. In
fact I should term it an impossibility.
Mel" exclaimed Mr.. Jenkins, re-
garding the judge with amazement
me? How"
You certainly do not imagine, my
dear jenkins, that our. merchants and
manufacturers are going to pay that
extra sixteen thousand dollars?" ask
ed Col. Monroe, knocking the ashes
from his cigar. mot a dollar of it will
they pay. They will add it to the
other items of expense and charge it
up to the consumer, and add a little
extra for their trouble. And when
ever you buy pound of sugar or a
roast of beef or a rocking chair you
Will contribute a little towards Flan-
nagan's extra salary and much more
towards increasing dividends on the
watered stock of the NJ. N and w"
How much do you suppose my
share amounts to?" asked Mr.. Jen-
kins, whose anger against Flanagan
had cooled.
You surely spend $500 a year for
things shipped into Lincolnville," as
serted the colonel. Your share is
therefore fifty dollars. You see, Jen-
kins, the company is going to make
you pay two-thirds of Flannagan's in
crease in salary The higher rates will
go into effect all over the country. 1t
is the most stupendous tax eXer levied
by private interest in the worlds his
tory. A great splurge is made about
the few millions given to an army of
hard working employees for extra
wages, but hardly a line is printed
about the hundreds of millions which
will be exacted from the public"
Il had an odd experience last fall"
said Judge Sawyer. II have a brother
who lives in a city about 200 miles
from here and 1 thought he would
appreciate a barrel of apples raised on
the old farm where he spent his boy
hood. So l had my man sort out a
barrel of fine ones and sent them by
freight. He wrote and thanked me,
but added that the freight came to
nearly as much as the market price of
the apples. Even at the old rates one
could not afford to accept gifts when
sent by freight. l had hoped the limit
had been reached, but It seems not
by the way" said Postmaster Jen-
kins, who seemed anxious to change
the subject, "old man Hawkins died
this evening. Freight rates don't
bother him much, 1 reckon
zone cannot die economically just
now" remarked Col. Monroe. THE
new schedule has increased the rate on
collins twenty-five per cent"

THE LOCATION FOR
OGLETHORPE MONUMENT.

Macon, Ga, Feb. 26.-Editor Morn
ing News; My friend, Col C. N.
Saussy, who has a right to speak, has
suggested that the Oglethorpe monu-
ment be located on Chippewa Square.
This suggestion seems to me eminently
a proper one. 1t would stand not far
from where that fine old English gem
tleman lived in his little cabin while
Savannah was being mapped out, and
although far down in the city, is near
the busy marts of trade where men
may we'll be reminded of one who,
without fee or reward, moved by sym
pathy for the struggling, led a colony
to the new world, and shared with
them the privations of founding it, and
never reaped any reward for his noble
