CONGRESS WITH A RECORD.
More Than 10000. 900 Words Spoken and
Report ed in Seven Months.

WARRINGTON, Juns 23.-Never before In
the history Of the world has there been such
a task imposed on shorthand reporters as
the one which is o approaching compile
ton at the Capitol. There has been more
talk recorded there in the last seven months
than was ever put into print anywhere be-
fore In the same length Of time.
When the first session Of the Fifty-ninth
Congress shall have adjourned the Com
greseio nal Record will have gone beyond
the 10000 page mark. Only once has 1t
ever reached that figure before in one ses-
sion Of Congress, and that was In the Fifty
first (the Reed rules SESSION., which sat
until October 1. The present Congress in
seven months has done as much talking on
the floors OF the House and Senate as the
Fifty-hrst did in ten months. The House
contributed the greater volume Of the ora
tory, but the seventy day Senate debate
on tho Railroad Rate bill was quite unprec-
edented in that body for it's continuous
ness, guam tity, rapidity and technical
character.
Tn official reporters Of the H ouse who
take an interest in such things have a COL
lection Of figures which show that the de-
bates in that body average a more rapid
rate than anywhere else. For instance the
record often contains sixty columns Of re-
rorted matter for a six hours session. This
m cans an average Of about 165 words a
minute the whole time. Some men, like Mr..
Tawney, Mr.. Hepburn, Mr.. Mondell and
Mr.. Clayton. speak with such delightful
deliberation and clearncss that they could
almost be taken by a good longhand writer
but the average is made by the rapidity OF
otht rs. like Mr.. Lacey, Mr.. Hull, Mr.. Dear
mond. Mr.. Stephens Of Texas, Mr.. Bonynge,
Mr.. Gillett Of California, Mr.. Wekes, Mr..
Cochran and Mr.. Littlefeld, whose CONVEX
cation in colloquy often goes about the
two hundred word mark.
But the debates on the floor are only part
of the doings, Never before have there
been so many committee hearings. A brand
new chairman Of the House Committee on
Appropriations came in this session, and
under the leadership of Mr.. Tawney the
departments Of the Government have re-
cefyed such an overhauling as never before.
This committee has been In session almost
all the time, and the Printed hearings on the
appropriation bills alone LAY equalled in
volume the entire House proc ceilings in
some former Congresses.
There has scarcely been an important
House committee that has not had more
hearings than usual. Often six or seven
committees have been in session at once
and there was one memora BILE day when
eleven committees Of the House sat at the
same time, and seven OF them ran all day.
The committee s~tenographers' record of the
nave been $50 during the session. OF these
the regular committee force reported SOL
and outside reporting firms had TO be called
IN TO take care OF 1855,
There has been very little general political
debate, strange as it may seem. Almost al

DANGEROUS TARGET PRACTICE.

plant From W%illoughby Beach.
WASHINGTON, June ga complaint
came to the War Department to-day from
A. P. Warrington, an attorney in Norfolk,
whose Gotta &c on W~illoughby Beac just
across Hampton Roads from Fort Monroe,
was almost hit by stray shells from the big
guns of the fort during target practice
yesterday morning. The War Department
has Mr.. Warrington's complaint under
consideration. The prospect is that after
passing through half a dozen Offices it will
reach Col. Potts, commanding at Fort
Monroe, who will ma lie a report on the
subject.
The official channel through which the
complaint will pass is long and has many
turnings. The letter was received by
Secretary Taft. From him it goes to Gen.
Ainsworth, the Military Secretary of the
army. Gen. Ainsworth sends it on to the
commander Of the Atlantic Division, who
transmits it to Gen. Grant, commanding
the Depa rtment of the Fast, and finally it
will go officially to Gel. Potts, no was in
Washington to-day and read the letter.
But this reading was unotficial auddoesn't
count.
When Col. Potts has in vestigated and has
prepa red his report he will send it to Gen.
Grant. 1t will come back to Washington
by the same route it has Ia ken to Col. Potts,
and when the Office of the Secretary of War
receives it again Mr.. Warrington will get
an answer.

COAL REBATE HUNT ~ CHICAGO.
Interstate Commerce Commission TO Hold
InvestIRatlOn There In July.

InNtstIBaltOH IneTc 1T July'
CHICAGO, June 29.-Invcstigation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission into coal
rebates Ii planned for the next session Of
the commission here in July. Comnunica-
tions from Government officials at Washing
ton directed TO a Chicago man identified
with the coal industry were received here
to-day.
1t was requested that certain informa-
ton concerning rebates paid or alleged
to have been paid by big coal
in Chicago be prepared for presentation be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission
at its nIet session here. Former employees
Of coal carrying railroad shave been asked
by letter If they would testify before the
commission.
One of the companies which, 1t was said,
would DO placed in the lfmelight Is the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois. 1t was said
In the letter, however, that all coal carrying
roads would be subjected to an examination.
Tho Information asked was concerning spe-
oifc rebates paid to specific companies, II
any; any instances Of coal mining stock
having boon given railway officials or ON,
ploytes, and any rebates to any local coal
distributors in the shape of rents for coal
yards, &c.
While no declarations were made as to
what lengths the investigation would pro-
coed, one of the letters requested that amy
instance of sharp business practice, consti-
tuting an evasion of the letter Of the laws,
by subterfugc, by any of the %comranies,"
would DC desirable. 1t was said that several
Of the large industries in the city which
consume great quantities Of coal and which
contract for huge future deliveries were
supposed to nave been the recipients of re-
bates up to a short time ago. The great
foundries, power plants, packing houses
&C., are the heavies st users Of coal for steam
purposes in the city.

GEN. SLOCUM,S son PROMOTED.
VIII De the First American Consul-G eneral
to the Congo Free State.

WASHINGTON, June 20. Announcement
was made at the State Department to-day
OF the promotion Of Clarence Rice Slocum,
son of the late Gen. Slooum Of New York,
from his present position as Consul at SAKE
Weimar, Germany, to be the first American
Consul General to the Congo Free State. Mr..
Roots decision to send a consular represent
tative TO Congo is the result Of the agitation
concerning the Belgian administration of
the affairs of the natives.
For months the State Department has
been deluged with communications from
persons and organizations who tell Of the
unmerciful and cruel treatment Of the
natives. The question has long been under
discussion. The Belgian Government says
that Congo affairs are justly administered.
Those interested have appealed to the State
Department to take some action in the mat
ter, but there has been nc a open for
this Government to do anything. Mr., Roots
information on the subject has all oome sec
ond hand, and he desires to have a repre-
sentative in Congo who car communicate
the facts direct to the United States.

THE PRESIDENT GETS A BOX.
1t Comes From the Man Who In lS9S Cor.
rectly Predicted His Future.

WASHINGTON, Juns ga mysterious
box was handed to President Roosevelt this
morning by Representative Olmstead Of
Pennsylvania, the Congressman saying that
he did not know what its contents were.
The President received it without trepida-
ton, however, upon the assurance that it
came from a man well known to Mr.. Ohm
stead. The sender of the box was Andrew
S. McCreath, a prominent citizen of Harris
burg, and although the contents Of the pack
age are still a mystery, it was related to the
President by Mr.. Olmstead that the sender
made a prediction early in 1903 which ran
something like this;
Roosevelt will resign his place as Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, go to the wal in
Cuba and make a name for himself; come
back home and be elected Governor of New
York, and then become President Of the
United States"
