Notes From Washington.

day of adjournment it realizes
what it has all along known that
it is impossible to do three
months work in ten days, or at
least that it is impossible to do it
well. and the concluding days OF
a short session are always
characterized by pitch fork leg
islation. Appropriation bills IN
volving millions of dollars must
be passed and much important
legislation involving long delayed
reforms and improvements in
the various departments of gov
ernment will again be deferred
as they have often been deferred
before to the more convent sea-
son that never comes. The Nav
al appropriation billof 500, DAB
looks as much like a hundred
million dollar as a ninety eight
cent shirt looks like collar shirt.
This bill makes provisions for
two new big battle ships each OF
them costing more than the Con
gressional library and it will cost
much more to run them than to
run the library and the United
States Capitol. Nevertheless we
must have them, and that the
country pretty generally wants
them was evinced by the fact
that about forty Democrats voted
in favor of them. The American
Navy is growing more rapidly
than any other Navy except Eng
lana S and it is evident that our
legislature do not intend that we
shall be caught mapping as was
Russia by Japan about one year
ago.
In the debate on these ships it
appeared that Mr.. Perkins of
New Yorkfavored only one battle
ship. Mr.. Rixey of Virginia did
not want any on ground that we
did not have officers enough to
man them. Mr.. Maddox of Geor
gia wanted the United Statet to
be first among the navies of the
world and he for one was not dis
posed to haggle over two ships
but wanted the uum Der increased
to ten. Mr.. Kitchin of North
Carolina, famous for his
excerpts from all books and
espeeches of Theodore Roosevelt
which was used so Ineffective
ly against the President in late
campaign, wanted the money di-
verified from the ships to public
buildings and school teachers.
The President is much pleased
with that portion of the bill ap-
propriating for two large battle
ships and exchanged congratula-
tions with members of the Naval
Committee who called at the
White House. Representative
Sulzer of New York, a Democrat
was enthusiastic for the bill. Il
am" he said. "with the President
every time he is with the Ameri
can people and Imay add that just
now he is with the American peo-
pie to a greater extent than any
other President has been since
the days of Abraham Lincoln.
The passage of the Naval bill
with the provision for two battle
ships could not have been accom-
plished without the help OF the
Democrats. We stood by the
President and he appreciates it,"
Senator Spooner predicts hot
fight of some sort over the Naval
bill before it passes the Senate,

In the last thirty years the
only work in this country that
has not had an advance in wages
is the job held down by the Pres
dent. This may be criticized as
an undignified manner of defin-
ing the emolume received by
the Chief Executive for his SER
vice to the country, but the fact
remains, he earns it and double
the amount. The Governor Gen.
eral of Canada receives as much
and the rulers of European coun-
tries have from five to twelve
times that amount. President
Grant, at the expiration Of his
term had his salary doubled by
Congress and the time is ripe
now for similar increase for
President Roosevelt. Congress
has had in mind for a number Of
years the increase of the Presi-
dents salary but Congress is a
ponderous body that moves slow
ly but when started goes with a
force l. direct ratio to his weight

The agricultural department is at last
determined to enforce the law providing
proper care for cattle in transport. For
years there has been a law requiring
railroad companies to unload, rest, feed
and water live stock after each period
OF forty-eight hours in transit. The law
has been a dead letter. In undertaking
its enforcement let it be ascertained to
what extent official connivance has been
responsible for its violation. Already
more than 1900 suits have been prepared
against railroads guilty Of violating it.
This, it is said, has had its effect, and
the roads are reported as willing to
plead guilty and settle at the minimum
penalty of 500.

THE CAR AS A PEACEMAKER.

There is something rather fantastic in
Nicholas lis posings as a promoter Of
universal peace, but if the report be true
that he has issued invitations to the
nations to take part in second confer
ence at The Hague he will have to be
accepted at his own appraisement. Nj.
cholas was the author Of the confer.
ence in 1899 at The Hague, which gained
him a good deal of prestige at the time
as a friend of world peace. The Ameri-
can anti-imperialists declared Russia was
a friend Of peace, while the United States
was an advocate of war, the Cuban and
the Philippines incidents being cited as
proof of this country's bloodthirstiness.
Some things occurred soon afterward
however, which altered the worlds opin.
ion OF Nicholas. His country, with the
rest of the nations of Europe, showed
before year had passed after holding
of TIE Hague conference that thdg
would be glad to let the tribunal formed
there die a quiet death. The United
States gave life to The Hague court BY
referring to it dispute with Mexico.
In the march on Pekin in 1900 and in the
subsequent proceedings in China by
Russia, Nicholas showed that his peace
talk was insincere.
The man who ought to have been al.
lowed the honor of calling the second
Hague conference was President Roose.
Welt. In response to an appeal of the
in .erparliamentary union, as its session

ed all the powers in regard TO a new con.
ference at The Hague, which, as he told
them, he intended TO call as soon as the
war then under way was ended. Mich.
olas H., as well as every other head of
a great state, knew that the president
contemplated calling a new meeting of
the powers at The Hague TO supplement
the work done there in 1890. II Is un.
derstood that the president has acquie.

M,cALL AND THE NEW YORK LIFE,

President John A. Mccall of the New
York Life Insurance company had a very
convenient practice of passing the COM
pany's checks for S454.OO0, $4,000 and
like sums over to Judge Andrew \ Ham
ilton as attorney for the company. Ac-
counts between the lawyer and the COM
pany were settled verbally with the
president-which must have saved valu-
able time. Yet. somehow, Attorney
Hughes for the investigating committee
does not seem to be entirely satisfied
with this convenient and time saving
practice. Mr.. Mccall told the committee
that he was of the opinion that Judge
Hamilton would pay back to the COM
pany, the S235,OO0 which it was shown
he had as a balance, il demand were
made.
Judge Hamilton has to do with the
real estate transactions. He gets a
salary of $4,000 a year, but President
Mccall says that the company pays
him about 100000 year for legal ser
vices in addition to the $4,000 retainer.
At the examination of Mr.. Mccall, Mr..
Hughes became inquisitive about these
services. 1t was shown that Judge
Hamilton represented the company in at
tending the sessions of the Legislature at
Albany, but President Mccall said he
never gave Mr.. Hamilton money to in
fluence any member of the legislature. 1t
is possible that real estate transactions
were arranged at Albany, the nature of
which required the president of the COM
pany and its real estate attorney to
pass checks between each other for which
no vouchers were presented and no ac-
counting given by the lawyer except
verbally to the president. Still, there
may be some people who are simple
enough TO see similarity to st. Louis
methods.

His Hogs Were No Wonders.

Pascal Hill is no'imaginary stock
fancier. He admires the real thing
ia the stock line. He has a lot OF
fine stock about him. Hogs is his
hobby. Last Wednesday he but
chered two animals of the swine
family, which tipped the scales at
$50 pounds each. They were beau
ties. Pascal told some friends OF
his killing, and there is where he
made his mistake. The aforesaid
friends were from the corn fields
of Iowa. They laughed at the
weight, and declared that Pascais
swine would be considered merely
sucking pigs in the effete hog-rais-
ing section of the East. They de-
clared-and they are regarded as
reasonably truth-telling men, too
that back there" people never
thought of killing hog unless It
weighed from $50 to 1000 pounds.
The result was, Friend Hill believed
them, and started off looking like
thirty cents, declaring he would
never again boast OF the weight OF
the Oregon porker.

Killed BY a Passing Train.

Mrs. Frank Batter, wife of the
foreman at the government station
opposite St. Johns, was killed Fri
day afternoon of last week by a
passing Northern Pacific train. Mrs.
Batter was returning from neigh
bor's, where she had gone for milk.
Her husband and another man who
were repairing a fence around the
yard, saw her coming down the
track, and they also saw the APP
preaching train. Thinking, OF
course, She would get out of the
way, they proceeded with their
work, and were not looking that
way when the unfortunate woman
was run down. The engineer OF
the train also claims he did not see
her and did not sound any signal.
After a few minutes passed and
Mrs. Batter did not appear at the
house, her husband and his COM
panion walked up the track and
found the dead body lying along
the right-of-way. Both legs were
broken, one hip dislocated, and her
skull crushed. As there were nc
witnesses to the accident a post-mor.
tenn examination was deemed
necessary to determine officially the
manner of her death.
The funeral took place Tuesday
from Finley's undertaking parlors
in Portland Mr.. and Mrs. Redburg
parents of the victim, and her three
brothers, from Nestucca bay, were
in attendance at the funeral.

agrees to furnish some other trap
pings. such as hose straps, spanners,
a reducer to fit the fireboat and an
outfit for the fire chief.
This equipment Is said to be first
class in all particulars, and amply
sufficient to meet the requirements
of the city for some time to come.
The next step is to secure proper
housing room for the same. This
will no doubt be done at an early
date.
The fire laddies now have some
thing tangible in sight to spur them
on to active work in perfecting their
organization. The hydrants will

may be had, so that in case Of fire
