At WASHINGTON.

The House for an hour, Thursday,
was entertained by a speech by Mr.. j..
Adam Bede, Republican member from
Minnesota, who made his maiden effort
and won his spurs His remarks were
replete with wit and bumor as we'll as
serious thought. He received the clos
est attention of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike and drew laughter and APP
plause from one side and then from the
other. At times both sides of the cham
Der joined in applause. Good natured
colleagues resulted from his thrusts at
the Democratic party
The diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill was completed, Thursday,
by the House committee on foreign af-
fairs and ordered reported. The meas
ure carries with it a total appropriation
of 81 996 900, an increase of $28, $50 over
the appropriation for the present year.
Representative Burleigh has presented
the petitions of Heath Post, No. 6, of
Gardiner, of Bosworth Post, No. 2, of
Portland of stephen Davis Post, No. IL,
and of Hannibal Hamlin Post, No. 165,
asking Congress to enact service pen
sion law. These petitions were referred
to the House committee on invalid pen
sions.
Representative Littlefeld has present
ed similar petitions from Fred A. Nor
wood Post, No 146, and from Weld Sar-
gent Post, No. 02
The House is in good shape with its
appropriation bills, but there will be de-
lay in the Senate, on account of the
time which will be consumed in discus
sion of the treaty with Panama. No
body doubts that the treaty will be rati-
fed, but ratification may not come for
two or three weel s yet.
Congress is importuned to listen to
the general demand for PARCELS post.
In the sending and delivery of small
packages by mail, the United States is
behind all other enlightened countries.
1t has been agreed to report to the
House service pension bill. This may
require anywhere from forty to six y
millions of dollars to be drawn from the
taeasury. If the bill passes the House
it is likely to meet with much opposi-
ton to the Senate.
Congressman Littlefield has been ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt as one
of the delegates to the universal con-
gress of lawers and jurists to be held at
ST Louis during the Exposition, next
September. The congress will include
all the members of the u. 5. Supreme
Court and other eminent authority in
