In connection with the consideration
of the afny appropriation blILtbere vas
an animated discussion in the Senate
yesterday OF the assignment ofGen. Miles
to service in charge of the Massachusetts
State militia. The controversy was be-
gun by Mr.. Lodge, who criticised in
sharp language the provisions of the
army bill prohibiting the awarding of
extra pay or allowances to retired officers
assigned to active service when they ex-
cecil those of major on the active list
Dir. Lodge contended that the provision
was directed at Gen. Miles, and be de-
clared it to be mos. unfair. Several
amendments we're suggested, but action
was deferred till today. When the read
ing Of the bill was concluded it was laid
aside, and 200 private pension bills were
assed.
The House passed the District of CO.
lumbia and the Military Academy ap..
preparation bills. Except tor speech
By Mr.. Baker, of New York, 10 whicL'
he bitterly assailed the protective tsnf
policy of the republican party, the pro-
ceedings were devoid of interest. The
agricultural appropriation bill was re-
ported.

SIomp and Agnew.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Richmond News-Leader writes No th-
ing probably has ever pleased Colonel
Slemp more, save bis election to Con-
gress, than the resignation Of Park Ag-
new from the State Craftsmanship of the
republican party. The allusion in the
Agnew letter OF resignation TO the
fact that prominent men in the par
ty has asserted that his manage
ment Of affairs was not aggres-
siye enough undoubtedly had reference
to remarks made by Colonel Slemp aud
published some time ago. 1t Is an open
secret that Colonel Slemp never did like
the policies of the Agnew-Bowden FAC
ton but he was too diplomatic to allow
himself to be quoted as saying such
things. However, he did not hesitate
to say them in private, and when these
facts came to the ears Of Mr.. Agnew he
was not in the best temper after hearing
them.

THE g. 5. SENATE a few days ago
very properly took decided stand
against the excessive printing OF public
documents, when the resolution to print
reports of one of the departments was
brought up. Senator Platt of Connecti-
cut said he was satisfied Congress is
printing too many documents and that
the government printing could be cut
down one-third without injury to any
one. He said any one who would 90
down and look at the vast number OF
documents that are accumulated and
consider the enormous quantities that
- hams nrinted would to the con-
ere s>Jisfes 49, - 49,
clusion that the amount was in excess
Of what was desirable. Senator Cullom
smoke in the same vein and said he
thought the time to begin to cut down
was right now. He thought these reso-
lutions to print documents for the de-
partment ought to 60 over in order that
Senators might think about the matter
more fully. After further discussion the
resolution to print went over. What
Senator Platt said is true to the letter
Public documents not worth the paper
on which they are printed are stacked in
nearly every public and newspaper Office
in the country and more than one halt of
them are never taken from the wrappers
in which they come.
