of the necessity for sea coast fortifi-
cations in the Philippines was dis
cussed at considerable length, with
the result that all provisions for such
notifications in these possessions was
eliminated from the bill Considera-

Much DISPUTE on Salaries.

The house did business with a
microscope in one hand and bill
making an appropriation for the sal
aries of its officers and employees in
The other. The result was that al
though five and a half hours were
spent in reading the legislative APP
preparation bill for amendment, less
han % pages of the measure were
completed. The spirit of economy
in little things was all-absorbing.
Points of order were made and many
Of them were fatal to proposed in
creaseS in salaries OF officers, jani-
-0rs, dOorkeepers, messengers and la
borers. A point of order which made
the salary OF the engineer of the
house 1920 a year instead of $500 as
proposed. caused a constitutional de-
bate Of more than an hour on the
point as to whether the house could
DO as it saw fit in the matter of fixing
the salaries of its employees. The
conclusion seemed TO be that it could,
and that it prescribed its own action
by its rules However, these rules
prohibited increasing a salary with
out provision of law. The final round
for the day was the debate as to
whether the house could get as good
packing boxes as the senate did for
It's members and finally move was
made TO eliminate packing boxes en-
tireiy from perQuisites of members,
which failed.
