CANAL BILL is FIRST.
An Emergency Appropriation VIII Be
Passed in Some Form.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE first inn
portant measure which will involve the
attention of the senate will be the
Panama canal emergency appropriation
bill, and it's consideration will begin
this week. Some senators predict that
it will become law before the close Of
the week, but others have expressed
the opinion that final action will be
deferred until the week following.
There will be no effort to prevent the
passage OF the bill in some shape, but
there will be some opposition to the
proposed restoration OF the IS, SOC, 200
subtracted by the house from the
amount to be appropriated.
Regardless of the sum, the bill will
be used as basis for the general dis
cussion of the canal question. 1t is
expected that the debate will deal
largely with the question as to whether
the canal shall be constructed on the
sea level. There is some conflict Of
opinion as to whether the-bill shall be
referred to the commit se on appropris
tions or to the committee on interoce-
anic canals.
The general expectation is there may
be comparatively little additional legis
lation before the Christmas holidays
Several other measures will be vigor
ously pressed during the session, bu'
with the exception OF the merchan
marine bill. the sponsors of the bills de-
not count upon getting early consider
alton. Senator Gallinger will call NJ
the merchant marine bill at the frs
opportunity and is hopeful that debat'
will not be long delayed.
No one counts upon even getting
report from committees on the railroa'
rate bill until some time after the holi
days. The three measures mentione'
are considered the most important tina
will come before the senate this SEES
sion, and they will receive much atten
tion until they are finally disposed OF
The consideration by the senate G
the joint statehood bill and tie bill 70
the reduction of the duty on Philippin
importations into the United State
will necessarily be postponed until al
er the holidays. No one now expect
} any effort to modify the tariff, unles
in the direction of Senator Lodges bil
providing for maximum and mini
mum rate. The Massachusetts, senate
regards this proposal with much NOR
L. favor and will press it strenuously.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA. GA
Cleveland. one-cent warrant.

CleveIsnd's One-Cent Warrant.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland holds
the only warrant for one cent ever
drawn by the Secretary of the Treas
ury upon the United States Treasurer.
1t was in payment of the balance Of
the salary due the Democratic chief
tain at the close OF his term in 1897,
and Its issuance was made necessary
by one of those mistakes that are rare
on the part of the expert bookkeepers
engaged In running the accounts Of
the government
Every quarter the President of the
United States is entitled to three
checks-one for $4,166.66 and two for
81, 1857. The table of methods OF
paying government salaries shows
that II the $4,000 a year for the Pres
ident is divided into twelve equal in
stallments, one for each month, the
amount will be 81, 1856 2-3, but the
two-thirds of a cent cannot be paid
at the end of a month, and so the
practice is to send the President q
check for $4,166.66 one month and the
other two months of the quarter the
amount is S4,166.67.
In some manner President Cleve
land failed to get a check one month
for the extra cent that was due him
and when the books were balanced al
the close of his term 1t was detected
With all due solemnity the officers Of
the treasury drew the famous warrant
for one cent, and Mr.. Cleveland re
ceived 1t with the same amount of Sc
robustness. He has never cashed the
/ warrant

Washington, Dec. II. = Postmaster
General Cortelyou, in his annual re-
port for the past fiscal year, says that
while a self-sustaining condition of the

less concerned about the deficit than
the efficiency of the administration
For the fiscal year 1905 the total re-

585, and the total expenditures s167,-
399, 1859, leaving deficit of s14,

"Manifeetly," he says, chad the
matter carried free been required t.

the large expenditures for the rural
free delivery service, there would have
been no deficit
Answering some of the criticisms
which he says have been directed
against the postal service, the post
master general says that most of il
overlooks the unusual conditions exist
ing in this country, its great extent o
territory and its widely scattered popu
lation. With the Introduction of rura
free delivery as yet unfinished, anC
other details of postal development in

present service is more perfected.
