SPEAKER cANNoN's BIRTHDAY.
He Receives Congratulations and the
House Does a Lot of Business.

Notwithstanding that
this was the speakers birthday, the
House, after a splendid demonstration
to Mr.. Cannon as he ascended to the
speakers table, settled down to one OF
the biggest days in the history of the
present session. The day was notable
for the number OF bills passed, forty
five in number, covering wide range
Of subjects.
Although Speaker Cannon started in
bravely to ignore the fact that he is
seventy years old to-day, he was forced
soon after the House convened to re-
linquish his gavel and retire to his pri-
vate room, where senators and men,
bers demanded audiences and tele-
grams of congratulation came thick
and fast.
Among the bills passed were the fol-
lowing:
To punish the cutting. chipping or
boxing of trees on the public domain.
To amend an act concerning leases
in the Yellowstone National park.
Granting additional lands in the Fort
Douglas military reservation to the
University of Utah
To provide for the subdivision and
sale of certain lands in the state Of
Washington.
To amend the act to provide gov
ernment for the territory of Hawaii.
Ceding to Canon City, Colorado GER
tain lands for park purposes.

THE ANTHRACITE AGREEMENT.
Terms of the Former Arrangement
Will Prevail for Three Years.

New York-After carrying on nego-
tiations for nearly three months. the
subcommittee representing the an
thracite mine workers and operators
of eastern Pennsylvania have agreed
to continue the award of the strike
commission for another three years, or
until March 81, 1909, and the men
will return to work as soon az prac-
ticable, probably Monday.
All miners who have not committed
violence against persons or property
will be re-empleyed, and no one will
be Disseminated against because of
any action he may have taken in the
strike movement.
The agreement is subject to the rati-
fication of the tri-district convention
of mine workers at Scranton to-mor-
row, but there is not the slightest
doubt that the delegates will approve
the action of their representatives.
This outcome of the dispute which
threatened to develop into long, bit
ter struggle and paralyze great In
dustry, was looked upon with satisfac-
ton by the coal road presidents, as
the agreement entered into Is their
first proposition, made early in March,
in reply to the mine workers original
demands.

Limits Number of Passes.

Washington.-The Senate spent the
major portion of its time Monday on
one amendment to the railroad rate
bill, but instead of accepting It,,
adopted a substitute as follows:
THAT no carrier engaged in inter
state commerce shall directly or indi-
rectly issue or give any free ticket,
free pass or free transportation to any
person except to the officers, agents,
employees and attorneys exclusively in
the service of the carrier issuing the
same, or to ministers of religion. in
mates of hospitals, eleemosynary or
charitable institutions Any carrier
violating this provision shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor and
shall for each offense pay to the the
United States a penalty of not less
than s100 nor more than $4,000.

The French Elections.

Paris.-The results of the election
are considered chiefly important In
confirming the policy which the gov
ernment has thus far pursued. particu-
larly on the question of the separation
of church and state.
The groups of the left supporting
the government are strongly in
creased, while the opposition groups
are uniformly decreased, the combative
Nationallsts being almost extermi-
mated. The government groups are so
much increased that they are no longer
dependent upon. the Socialists.
Out Of 591 constituencies the govern
ment has carried 262 and the opposi-
ton 169. In 1876 districts there will be
rebollotings. The results in colonial
districts have not yet been reported.

Denver Warehouse Burned.

Denver.-The storage warehouse of
the Denver Transit and Warehouse
Company. at Fifteenth and Wyncoop
streets, was Quilted by fire Saturday
morning, as result of combustion
produced, it is believed. by crossed
electric light wires. The loss is esti-
mated at $150,000 with about a two
thirds insurance. Owing to heroic ef-
forts on the part of the flremen, 1,20c
barrels of bonded whisky and consid-
cradle furniture and foodstuffs in an
addition in the rear of the building
were saved from destruction, or the
loss might have reached 100000.

Gould Wins at Tennis.

London.-After Jay Gould had sue
cessfully disposed of Van E. Pennell,
he won the right by defeating him
three sets to one. to challenge Eustace
Miles for the court tennis champion
ship of England. Major Cooper-Key, a
well-known player. after the contest
to-day remarked:
America has done some wonderful
things, but nothing more marvellous
than putting the brains of veteran
player into a young man OF seven
teen"
That opinion sums up the tennis
ability of young Mr.. Gould to a nicely,
for, without doubt, his coolness, per
feet condition and hold work" are
a smuch responsible for his victory in
the semi-finals in the championship
as his skill at the game.

Blow AbOut TO Fall on Vet
eran Department Men.
HOUSE is READY TO ACT

The blow the old clerks Of Washing
ton have feared so long is about to
fan, and il the House Committee on
Appropriations follows its present in
teRtions the Legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill viii carry
some provision to cut down the amount
of money at present paid 10 clerks
sixty-five years CT age or over.
This bill viii ne reported TO the House
Thursday next.
AS a preliminary 10 this step against
the aged clerks, Chairman Tawney of
the committee has caused the most
thorough investigation into the subject.
and 1t was said today the inquiry was
the most detailed and searching carried
On by the committee for many years.
Although it has not been decided def
nitely exactly what plan will be pur-
sued, it is probable that the bill will
provide that no clerk sixty-five years
old or over shall receive over s.. 600 per
year
The investigation carried on by Mr.
Tawney has elected the information
that more than 100000 year is paid
to clerks here in Washington who have
reached their sixty-fifth year, and 4
per cent of these clerks draw each over
s., 900. 1t can be seen. therefore, how
widely this proposed change Will adect
every department in Washington.
1t was said in the committee room
this morning that there is no getting

trenchment in the matter of salaries

May Vote II Down.
Although the recommendation of the
r.-fn -
the House, the opinion was freely ex-
pressed by members today that the pro-
vision is SO drastic and so severe that
the House will vote it down. 1t was
also said that the House. if it takes any
action at all, will demand from the COM
rnittee that the civil service pension list
be prepared, as the House will not vote
to throw the old clerks out of employ
ment without any compensation what
ever.
1t was reported in one quarter that
the provision goes so far as to specify
that within a certain number of years
from now any clerk who reaches seven
~ years shall be Immediately dismiss
ed from the service.
The House Committee on Appropria-
tions is developing tentatively a plan
looking TO a solution of the superanu-
pensioning and retirement have been
considered. to all of which there is OBJ
lection in the committee.
The plan now under consideration
by the House Committee is to adopt a
measure providing that seven years
hence the rule shall go into effect that
ali employees shall, on reaching the age
Of seventy years, provided at that time
they are drawing In excess of 5000 an
nuaily. be reduced TO that sum; the
rule, OF course, applying to those un.
der civil service. This is equivalent
to giving seven years notice to all en-
ployes, so that they may prepare for
the change IN their circumstances.

Asserting fin rigorous phrase that
Congress now prevents, and has for
years prevented, the establishment OF
Christian sanitarys conditions and sane
education regulations in the National
Capital, q national committee, with
headquarters In New York. has started
a campaign for the betterment Of the
poor in the slums OF Washington.
Back OF the committees plea for re-
lief from Congress for this city by
speedy enactment of needed laws is a
set of lamentable figures and appalling
facts.
On the committee are such towers OF
strength in slum work as Robert W
de Forest, chairman of the New York
State Tenement House Commission of
1900. ana the frst commissioner Of the
city department organized TO grapple
with bad housing and congestion on
Manhattan; Graham Taylor. headwprker
Of the Chicago Commons, and a mem
| ber Of several Of Mayor DUNES munic-
| ipal commissions; Jacob a. Riis, au-
thor OF How the Other Half Lives and
known throughout the country for his
| fight with the slum as a police re-
porter in Mulberry Bend; S. w. Wood
ward a leading merchant of Washing
ton and chairman OF the District Board
of Charities; and Edward r Deyine.
( president of the National Conference Of
/ Charities and Correction.
Have Written Congress.
Their names are signed to letters sent
to members of Congress today urging
| immediate relief for the conditions here.
The men signing these letters are a
subcommittee of the national pubHca-
ton committee, which was organized
| TO get at social conditions and the
means for their relief all over the
country.
This committee takes the ground that
the District of Columbia. being without
the suffrage privilege. is unable TO help
| itself. that Congress is an unfailing OBJ
stacle to reforms IN need of which the
National Capital stands. and that the
onlv way for relief to come to Wash
| ington is by people from the whole coun-
try urging upon Congress the absolute
/ necessity of remedial legislation.
The committee. arguing that Washing
ton needs Fairgrounds open all the
year laws against children's work. a
| Juvenile court proper sanitary housing
/ laws and a compulsory education law
/ to make 10000 unschooled children go to
| school, submits in support of its conten~
