Washington, March 3O.-Representative Ben
net Of New York argued before the House Com
nittee on Interstate Commerce to-day in ad-
vocacy Of his bill providing for the payment Of
the Presidents travelling expenses by the gov
eminent The measure provides for an appro-
priation Of 100000 for the purchase, equipment
and maintenance Of d train Of railway passen-
ger coaches TO he known as the Presidents train,
10 be used by the President for the convenience
Of himself and those attending him when trav-
cling between the capital OF the United States
and any other portion Of the country It is also
provided that when travelling by water the
Presidents expenses shall be paid out Of the
appropriation Of 100000
Mr. Bennett told the committee that the ne
cessity for the law was obvious. The present
system, by which the President either must &C
cept the favor Of the railroads or pay for his
travelling expenses out of his own pocket. he
said was not in keeping with the dignity Of the
office of President. Moreover. said Mr. Bennet
this method was likely to cause inconvenience
10 the Chief Executive. The President should
be able 10 travel at his own convenience and
in comfort. he said
Mr.. Bennets bill, together with the several
others introduced for the same purpose. have
been slumbering in committee and would proba-
bly, not have been taken up by the members of
the committee to-day had not a special hearing
been asked There is no likelihood that there
will be any legislation of the kind at this SEES
sion The attitude Of the majority OF the mem
bers Of the committee was shown to-day when
they refused TO take serious interest in the bill
under consideration. Representative Hepburn.
chairman Of the committee. said that II any leg
islatiOn was to be enacted al all Il should be
an amendment to the Interstate Commerce law
providing that when the President travels he
should ride free on whatever railroad he might
select.

FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Ne5c-YOrh State Literally Treated
IN Forthcoming Bill.
80 - TrIbnne Rnreau ]


Washington. March 3O-New York State is
bill agreed upon by the House Committee on
Public Buildings to-day The bill carries ap-
preparations aggregating 500 600 OOO and Of this
amount several millions are appropriated for
buildings in New York State For continuing
the work on the Custom House in New York
City 100000 is allotted. This is in accordance
with the estimates for the work originated under
an appropriation Of S4jOOOOO II is possible
that stlu further appropriation viii be added,
so that the interior may be finished with more
substantial materials than are now proposed. A
bill was introduced by Representative Olcott
early in the session providing that the addi-
uonaI appropriation Of S1,GOC.OOO for this extern
sion Of the work should be made
The details of the omnibus bill not fully
completed and its appropriations are subject to
revision, but the greater part OF the work in
framing the bill is finished. This is the first
general public buildings bill in three years and
the number of applications has been far in ad-
vance Of those allowed. The policy Of the COM
mittee in framing the bill this year has been
that no appropriation is made for postof7ces IN
where the annual appropriations for mainten-
ance are less than $4,000 except in places
where there is a federal court
Representative John f. Andrus, the New York
member of the Public Buildings Committee, said
to-day The appropriations for New York
state have been as liberal could be expected.
Many new buildings are provided for but the
Gus projects contemplated until the bill is COM
cd.

Diplomatic Situation.

Vienna. March 3o.-Beuamy storer the retir-
ing American Ambassador is sick i'm bed SUI
fering from a renewed attack Of Egyptian fever
His physicians have forbidden him to see any
one
Since Mr. St7rer's return TO Vienna there has
been practically severance Of diplomatic re-
Iations between the American Embassy and the
Foreign Office and now that 1Ir. Storer is in
Vienna the Austro- Hungarian government
does not consider that Secretary Rfves is charge
d'ahaires. Mr.. Storer's letter Of recall is ex-
pected next week but unless the state Depart
ment al Washington authorizes Mr.. Storer 10
present It personally its presentation must
await the coming Of Charles Spencer Fran
els Mr.. Storer's successor. Should Mr. Francis
not arrive before the middle Of June his re-
cep-iou by the Emperor must be postponed
until the end Of September, as his majesty viii
leave Vienna early I'm June for his usual So
joUrn I'm the mountains. and the Austrian court
ceremonial provides that a new Ambassador
cannot be introduced TO the Emperor except in
the imperial palace at Vienna or Budapest
A strong feature Of this unusual diplomatic
situation is the fact that the offices Of the
American Embassy are i'm the private residence
Of the recalled Ambassador. Mr. store. rented
the building for residential purposes. and subIet
some Of the rooms TO himself as an Official and
there the embassy business is still being con-
Quoted
In spite Of Mr. Storer's illness. which is said
10 be serious, many friends Of Mr.. and Mrs
Storer assembled at the Ambassadors residence
this afternoon and took tea with Mrs storer
Among those present were the Papal Nuncio
