 Resuming, Mir. Allison suggested that
 the inter-oceanic canal commission should
 take up the subject of salaries on the
 canal in connection with other canal zone
 legislation.
 : MT. Allison said the government owned all the stock of the Panama railroad,
 and suggested the wisdom of legislation
 controlling the road.
 MT. Morgan asked how 1t happened
 that MT. Cromwell is a director if this
 is true.
 MT. Kittredge said there are thirteen
 of the shares that are not owned by the
 United States, but that the government
 has an iron-clad contract for the transfer
 of the stock.
 MT. Clay asked what became of the mo-
 ney paid by the United States to the
 Panama road for services and MT. Hale
 replied that the money comes back to
 the national treasury. He said the road
 Is an independent organization. and added
 that this seemed to be useless. He ar
 gued with MT. Allison that there should
 be legislation to simplify the question. Calls for Report. MT. Tillman called for a report on the
 Panama railroad, intimating that there is too much secrecy about 1t, and saying that there was danger of loss fin such ac- tion. He depolerd the introduction of "original methods into the management of the canal affairs" Discussing the control of the railroad, MT. Allison quoted Secretary Tafts St. Louis speech concerning the expenditure of the $10,00O,000 appropriated on the ca nal, but in referring to that statement, spoke of 1t as having been made at Gin clnnati, Ohio.'' At St. Louis. Mo-" corrected MT. Foraker.
 ''He did make an Ohio address I be- lieye," responded MT. Allison, aside to MT. Foraker, and yet so loud as to be heard all over the chamber. The remark provoked an outburst of laughter, and MT. Tillman added to the hilarity by say ing
 "Thst was a case of before and after taking"
 Mir Morgan called attention to the fact that MT. Cromwell Is a director of the new Panama canal company. as well as a director of the Panama Railroad com pany. and asked MT. Allison if he knew what he gets for his services in this double-barrelled capacity" Mir. Allison replied that he did not know but said he thought the matter should be inquired into. The Senate then, at 4:57 o'clock, ad- journed without concluding its considera- ton of the bill

COMMITTEE OF FIDELITY LODGE, INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MAcHINlsTs, FRAME REso- BUTTONS OF cENsURE.

The members of Fidelity lodge No ', International Association of Machinists, condemn the action of the police com mission in re-instating Patrolman Ben nett.
 There was a large attendance at the meeting of the lodge Wednesday evening when the question of condemning the action of the police commission was taken up. A motion was made and carried authorizing the chair to appoint a com mittee of three to draft resolutions of censure against the commission.
 The committee met last night and framed the following statement which will be presented to the lodge at the meeting next Wednesday evening:
 We, the union machinists of Birming- ham, hold it to be opr right to be heard in behalf of justice./
 We hereby condemn the action of the Birmingham police commission in rein stating Officer Bennett, who engaged ir saloon fight on the night of November 3 and shot down l.. E. Owens

BENNETT WOULD REDUCE
 THE REPRESENTATION

to eight, Texas from sixteen to thirteen, and Virginias from ten to seven.
 The bill would cut down the slender democratic representation by thrty-ive votes and reduce the total membership from 3Ss to 351. It goes further than the proposition which Representative Crum- packer sought so long and vainly to get through congress. Crumpacker was an old and influential congressman with q following. He failed so completely with his comparatively moderate proposition that he has about given it up. Senator Platt of New York once introduced a Crumpackerish sort of resolution, but it was never heard of again. Only the most nervous of southern congressman are alarmed over the Hon. Bennetts bill.

somebody while waiting for an audi

whom It was made fell to discussing
the causes Of Taft's particular promi-

the president had left nearly all impor-
tant matters In his charge and that he
was not only secretary Of war, but
practically secretary of state, and was
at this particular time managing the
preliminarles for the construction Of
the isthmian canal.

particular post because the president
believed that he possessed the qualities
of quickly sizing up an important stu
alton and of successfully dealing with
delicate diplomatic matters.
Mr. Meyer has won a number Of
laurels during the brief period in
which he has represented the govern
ment at the Russian capital. He has
kept the Washington authorities thor
oughly and accurately informed of the
progress of diplomatic affairs at st.
Petersburg, and has also dealt fully
with the internal disorders Of the en-
pire. His dispatches are clear and
concise and have enabled the presl-
dent correctly to gauge the feelings of
the car so that no mistake was made
in the bold offer Of mediation.
Diplomats to Form a Club.
Members of the diplomatic corps, who
are debarred by the rules of the Met
ropolitan club from INDUCING in bac-
carat, poker, roulette, ETC., have COM
pleted plans for the establishment Of
clubhouse Of their own. Another
cause of dissatisfaction is that since
the fire, which compelled the club to
make temporary quarters elsewhere,
the restaurant has been suspended.
A fine old mansion in the outskirts of
the city has been secured, and within
a short time the club will be incorpo-
rated and organized It is understood
that it will be Of the most exclusive
character.
Under the rules of the Metropolitan
the most rigid scrutiny is given to APP
plieants, but any attache Of legation
or embassy is entitled to admission by
virtue of his office.
