TREASURY BUYS SILVER.
One Hundred Thousand Ounces for
New Orleans.

The Treasury Department today pur-
chased 100000 ounces Of silver to be deliv-
cred at New Orleans at 81 cents an ounce
The delivery Of the silver at New Orleans
would naturally place the price a trifie
higher than would its delivery at New York
or any other eastern point. This is re-
garded as quite large single purchase,
and Is the second made under the recent
decision Of Secretary Shaw. Last week the
government purchased only $4,000 ounces
of silver, for which 1t paid 6862 cents per
ounce. The purchases are made from bids
for the sale of the metal that are being re-
ceived by the department from time to
time.

REPORTS HIS FINDINGS
CLERK HoWEY CONCLUSIONS IN
CELEBRATED CONTROVERSY. g
Attaches No Blame to Government
Printing ONCE for Delay in Clos
ing Of Congressional Session.

An oficial report has been made by Al
bert H. Howe, clerk OF the Senate commit
tee on printing, of the cause Of the delay
suffered by Congress In the closing hours
Of the last session. which was alleged to
be owing to the failure Of the government
printing Office to produce the copies OF the
bills on time, and the fact that one mis-
take Of 5000. GOO was made in the public
building appropriation bill. the item being
left in after It had been stricken out by
both the House and Senate.
The report is voluminous and contains
much of the testimony taken by the investi-
eating committee. The conclusions. so far
as there are any. do not place any blame
on the government printing office. but ex-
plain that both the messenger force was
inadequate for the Transmission OF copy.
and the messenger force and clerical force
of the enrolling room at the Capitol were
smaller than they should have been.
Mr.. Howe goes into considerable detail in
his report as to the course that the bills. es-
pecially the appropriation bills, follow in
committee. thence to the House, thence to
the Senate, thence to conference, and
finally. to be engrossad and printed Each
of these steps is accompanied by making
and proof reading draft or several drafts,
Of the BILL and the report says that consid-
ering the strain under which every one was
working at the time. it appeared that both
the enrolling force and the printing office
made good record.
20 Public Building Bill.
In regard to the delay on the public build
ing bill. which was one of the chief points
on which Senator Hale's caustic remarks
were based. the report says that over an
hour Of time was wasted by the House and
Senate In waiting for each other to submit
the conference report on the bill The tcsti-
mony of Gen Parkinson. the reading clerk
OF the Senate. says that the Hous3 was
under the erroneous impression that the
Senate report should be delivered first, ard
that there was delay Of more than an hour
before this tangIe was Strengthened out

ROME, November 1O-The pope Is grow
ing to lean more and more on his two
Spanish advisers in the curia-Cardinal
Merry del Val, the secretary of state of the
Vatican, and Cardinal Wives Tuto. Like
the pope, Cardinal Wives Tuto Is con-
servative of the conservatives. He has
published series of works on theology of
the most conservative character. His latest
was dissertation the Pater Noster.
The pope, with whom he is in perfect COM
munion of ideas, listens to his counsels and
seldom does anything without consulting
him.
The intimate counsellors Of the pope are,
therefore, two Spaniards of the most con-
servative views. The secretary Of state,
"eminence rouge" of the pope, while the
Capuchin Wives y Tuto Is his eminence
oriese, he still wears the color OF ms
order; but his influence Is really greater
than was that of Father Joseph over Rich

Handling New Immigrants.
The pontif was particularly interested In
hearing how the Italian immigrants were
met on their arrival by agents Of this So
ciety, Italians talking the language Of the
strangers in the new land; how they were
directed to find their friends or housed at
small rate of payment: how they were dis
tributed in centers of labor. and what pro-
visions had been made for the preservation
and the practice of their faith by these
exiles He was greatly interested and graft

in her fluent Italian, and in the report or
