Review Of the Situation.

A report accompanying this resolution
was submitted by Representative Graft,
from the committee on accounts. It brief
ly reviews the situation as follows:
For some time past. or during the pres
ent Congress, at least, it has been manifest
that the House restaurant has not been
conducted satisfactorily either to It's pa
irons or its manager. The restaurant or
luncheon rooms, being primarily fer the
convenience OF members and employees of
the House, should be conducted to their
satisfaction as nearly as may be possible,
without reference to the other patrons,
and at the same time be profitable to its
manager. This we find to be impossible by
the methods In vogue, because the losses
sustained on account Of perishabie food
and on account of wages paid to cooks and
walters on duh as well as busy days rem
ders 1t impracticable to conduct the bust
ness with the success that encourages
proper maintenance and the application Of
modern business methods.
1.-The manager Of the restaurant claims to
have lost during the present Congress
about g, 600 and we have reason to believe
that he has suffered some loss. Therefore,
marked deterioration in service and quail
ity Of food resulted, and has beel even
more noticeable with the decline In pa
tronage during the present Congress. But
by the elimination Of the elaborate bill OF
fare and by the adoption os the simpler
plan of luncheon rooms, such lis are found
in the business Genie $ of our large cities
our inquiry leads us to believe that II
the rooms now used by the House restau-
rant are altered, as contemplated. to make
them conform to the requirements of mod
ern lunch rooms, the members of the
House would find the change fully In ac-
cordance with their desires and real nee.
essities and at the same time that thu
manager relieved of losses on account oil
perishable food and unproducsive labor
would undoubtedly be able 10 conduct the
business profitably
"One proposition submitted to and COP.
sidered by your committee was to create
the position of manager of the House res.
taurant, at q salary to be paid by the
House. and also that the restaurant be con
Quoted by the House. expenditures In ex.
cess of income derived from sales to bt
paid from the contingent fund of ths
House; but your committee is unanimously
and most emphatically opposed to the
House engaging in the restaurant business
And we further believe that IL the lunch
con rooms, such as We have suggested
cannot be run with any greater degree OF
satisfaction to the House than at presen,
or with profit to their manager. their doors
would better be closed altogether"

What the House Furnishes.

When it is considered that the House fur
nishes to its restaurant keeper the dining
rooms, kitchens, light, power and heat,

profitable and satisfactory manner. To
bring about this desired end Mr.. Woods

as constructive arrangements are con-
cerned the new plan will be a success. Tie
matter Of taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered by the new plan will be left
to the good business sense and Judgment
Of the caterer. Mr.. Woods, in his study
of the situation and plans for change in
the House restaurant arrangements, is act
ing under the resolution adopted in the
closing days of the last session This reso-
luton provided that the superintendent,
under the direction of the Speaker of the
House, should make such alteration of the
rooms now used as a restaurant as to pro-
vide facilities for luncheon rooms for the
members, delegates and officers of the
House, and for the employees of the House
and the public.
1t is provided further that the privilege
of conducting the luncheon rooms shall be
granted by the Speaker to such person as
he shall select.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.
Wheat Values Lowered---Stocks OF
Wheat VIII Increase.

Chicago, May 14.-Reports of favora-
BILE progress by both the domestic and
foreign crops were potent factors in
weakening wheat values.
A firm undertone, due to-heavy rains,
and lower temperatures northwest,
prevailed in wheat at the opening
Receipts were extremely. small and
this fact also exerted bullish influ-
ence. But trading in general was
light. The market lacked any outside
support and with a continuance of Of
ferings the price gradually weakened.
A number of bearish reports were
received during the day, increasing the
weakness. Advices from Russia stated
that the surplus of wheat for export
was still large and that the weather
was favorable for the growing crop.
The condition of wheat fields in the
southwest was reported to have shown
considerable improvement. An influ-
entail selling motive was the lack of
outside demand, the supposition being
that if there is no foreign demand be
tween now and harvest time stocks of
wheat in Chicago will show a big in
crease,

Bonds As Security.
THAT FORTY MILLION WARRANT.
It Took Ten Clerk. Three Hours To
Count The Bonds. Later In The Day
Fifteen Million Dollars in Cash Was
Paid on the Warrant.

New York, May 1.-THE treasury
warrant for SAC, oOo,O 900 on account of
the Panama canal purchase was de-
livered to ]. P. Morgan & Co. by Sec
rotary Shaw at the subtreasury.
Secretary Shaw made the following
statement as to the transfer:

appointed special disbursing agents
and their security fixed at S25, oC0,0 900.
AS soon as this security was approved,
the warrant for $40, 900, 900 was deliv-
cred. This will be presented and paid
as follows: Fifteen million dollars in

credit and will be collected through
the clearing house. Meantime, the
their respective checks aggregating a
little over $4,000, 900. The warrant
was delivered to Mr.. Steele personally.
1t was on piece of white paper en-
graved in green ink and was made pay
able to ]. P Morgan & Co. as special
disbursing agent.
Half a score of clerks at the sub
treasury were busy for some three
hours counting the bonds deposited by
Morgan & Co. as security for the war;
rant. These checks were accepted for
collection and will be collected through
the clearing house. In this way the
banks of New York city will pay into
the subtreasury 27,oOO,OOO and will
receive from Morgan G Co. on deposit
s25, 100000. Both the payment to the
subtreasury and the deposits will be
effected through the clearing house at
the same time. Thus the banks will
lose in the transaction only 1000, 900
in cash balances; the remaining S15,-
100000 is paid to Morgan & Co. di-
rectly from the treasury.
In an informal statement the secre-
tary added that this method of paying
for the Panama canal would have Il
reassuring effect upon financial condi
tions in general. There were present
at the subtreasury when the warrant
was delivered Charles Steele, George
W. Perkins, E. T. Stotesbury and
Temple Bowdoin, of the firm of j. P.
Morgan & Co.; Assistant Treasurer
Fish, ]. 81. Edwards, private secretary
to Secretary Shaw, and George F.

bank. The securities deposited by

and many wonderful cures reported
recently, but nothing has been seen
or heard of in this state to equal the
wonderful work of a remedy called
