P0st0Mce Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Repr esenta-
tives johnson and Finley, of South Caro-
lima delegation, are preparing TO make
extensive arguments on the postoface ap-
preparation bill that will be before the
house the early part of next week.
Both Messrs. johnson and Finley be.
lieve that some much needed reforms are
necessary in the postal branch Of the
government service, and they have been
for sometime preparing to make them
selves heard when the bill comes up for
consideration. Mr.. Finley being = mem-
Der of the committee on postoflces and
post roads is especially we'll prepared to
handle the subject.
For long time stories have been cur.
rent that the franking privilege enjoyed
by members Of congress and others has
been badly abused, and that in some in-
stances furniture, cooking stoves and
pianos, and in fact various kinds Of mer-
chandise Of all shapes and sizes have
been transported from one part Of the
country to another as frankable mail
matter. That there are certain reforms
which are in sore need of attention is the
belief of both members mentioned and Il.
is more than probable that their remarks.
on the subject will prove Of great inter-
est. ~

New Wireless Record.

In report from the cruiser Char
lesion to the Navy Department it is
shown that a new record for wireless
telegraph for the navy has been es-
sablished on the Pacific coast. The
.ruiser was then on her way up the
'oast, after having left Secretary Root
vt Panama. The wireless station at
Point Argueno caught her signals
vhea she. was distant 1105 nautical
miles on October 5. This was at 10
} o'clock in the morning, usually an
Unfortunate hour for wireless COM
nunication.
When she was distant 9S5 miles the
station caught the dispatch: "This
s the Charleston, bound for. San
Francisco" The dispatch was ac-
'znowledged, and when she was within
52 miles of the station she sent dis
patch for Washington, which was
read and transmitted. The stations
on the Pacific coast are relatively of
'ess power than those On the Attain
tic, but it is believed here that the
conditions are more favorable.

OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS AND NOTES
aTEMS OF INTEREST BRIEFLY
CHRoNICLED.
PREPARING FOR PRESIDENT
Battleship Louisiana Sent to New
York to be Fitted Up for the Tril
to Panama With President ana
Wife.

| The battleship Louisiana, which is
soon to carry President and Mrs
Roosevelt to Panama and Porto Rico,
has gone to the New York Navy-Yard
to be docked for over-hauling before
making her rip. When the President
goes aboard he will find a magnifi-
cent suite of rooms arranged with
great care for the comfort Of himself
and Mrs. Roosevelt.
The Louisiana had her final tests
less than two months ago, and is a
splendid man-of-war, in frst-class
condition. Notwithstanding that she
is practically new and has seen little
sea service, aside from the round
trip to Cuba, when she brought Sec
retary Taft home, great pains will be
taken to eliminate every spot that may
appear in the painting.
1t will be necessary to enlarge the
quarters and put in new ones, as was
the case with the cruiser Charleston
for Secretary Roots trip. The Lou
isiana is much larger, of course, and
has more commodious cabin rooms.
The vessel it fitted out as a flagship,
consequently she is provided with cab
ms for the Admiral, Flag Officer and
others. Two or three of the most
spacious cabins will be fixed up es-
pecially. for the President and has
wife, while another will be at the dis
posal of Surgeon General Rixey, of
the Navy, the only person aside from
the ships officers and crew who will
make the trip.
While it is said to be the Presi-
dents wish that no particular ex-
pense be incurred in arranging the
cabins for his comfort, no pains will
be spared in refreshing the decora-
tive work and otherwise making them
homelike for the two weeks or more
that the Chief Executive and his wife
will occupy them.

Law Will Be Tested.

There is growing interest in a cast
soon to be tried in the United States
District Court for the Western dis.
trict of Kentucky. 1t will be brought
for the purpose Of testing the consti.
tutionality of the employers liabili-
| ty law enacted by the last Congress.
A similarly action is pending in the
State Of New Jersey, but the Ken
ucky case, which is to be tried be-
! ore Judge Evans, will be made the
est case. This case was determined
pom at meeting of the railway at
orneys recently held in Louisville.
1t was proposed to deny the author
ity of congress to legislate in such
matters as the relationship between
employers and employees. The main
contention will be that the law in
question is not a regulation Of inter-
state commerce; that congress has no
right to regulate the liability of the
mas ter to the servant in the absence of
statute fixing that liability in the
first instance.
The best legal talent Of the country,
it is assumed, will be employed n the
employers behalf. This fact, and the
alleged improbability of an equal ar
ray Of talent on the other side has
appealed to the administration as af-
fording an instance where interven-
ton is justifable on the part of the
Department of Justice to expedite
the administration of law.
Attorney General Moody has ac-
oordingly issued a statement to the
effect that it is his intention to ask
.ssue of the court in which the first
ease occurs to intervene, not upon
questions of fact, but for the purpose
Of supporting the constitutionaiity
validity and Interpretation of the law.
Under this intervention it is expected
Is in the former case, that the law
will be interpreted and the decision
leclared thereon by the United States
supreme court with all due expedition.
This course has received the approval
# President Roosevelt. The date OF
he trial has not been stated here.
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the
1erman Ambassador, has decided te
postpone his proposed trip to Texas
until next autumn. He originally
planned to make an extended TRIP
through the Southwest this fall, but
inds tnat he will not have time thi
year to make as long stay as he de-
sires. Texans who have invited him
to various Texas cities have been ad-
vised Of his new plans.

A protest against the ruling has
been received by the commission from
the Massachusetts Press Association
through W. j. Heffeman, secretary
In Mr.. Hefferman's s communication
he says that the association unani-
mously voted "to enter it's protest
against the reported ruling in holding
that the payment for railroad trans
portation at full rate in advance shall
be treated on any other basis than
that of transportation paid in cash. :"
In letter to Secretary Hefferman
IN response to the protest, Chairman
Knapp Of the commission says in
part, after quoting the section of law
which prohibits the issuance of free
transportation or transportation paid
for in any other way than cash.
"You are of course aware that all
tariffs filed in compliance with the reg
uatlng statute name rates on the dol
lars and cents basis and do not in any
case provide that transportation can
be paid for with property. 1t seems
plain to the commission that the law
above quoted coupled with the fact
:itated, permits payment for services
Of interstate carriers only in money.
a contrary rate would sanction un-
equal compensation by different per-
sons and involve ordinarily some de-
gree Of discrimination in favor of
those permitted to exchange their com
modltles for the transportation if
lhey deslGE9 or secure it. 1t is the aim
OF the law to prevent every sort of
1aVoI lSism, and secure absolute equal
1ty Of treatment in all eases.
This ruling Of the commission in
no way interferes with or abridges
the rights of private contracts. News
papers and their advertising space
may be freely exchanged for any spe-
eies of property upon such terms as
may be acceptable to the parties to
The transportation, but the facilities
of the public carrier are not private
property, nor, nor are they subject
of bargains and sale like merchan-
disc. The right to travel or have
property carried by rail like the right
TO the common highway is not a con
tract right but a political right, the
very essence of which is equality.
"Conceding that the advertisement
arrangements in question are ordina-
rily made and carried out in good
faith, it seems plain to me that these
arrangements as a practical matter
involve some discrimination, and it is
not easy for me to see how an honest
newspaper cam seriously object to a
ruling of the commission which ap-
pears to be in obvious accord with the
provisions and the purposes of the
regulating statutes"

Is taken in this matter by congress
during its coming session, he will be
unable to carry out the directions Of
the Secretary Of the Navy with re-
gard to details, both ashore and afoat
md the efficiency Of the corps will

Gen. Elliott says that the p1ovis-
ions of the general order of the War
Department by which enlisted men
of the army are entitled to campaign
pay for service ashore in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands dur
ing certain periods and for service
ashore with the relief expedition dur
ing the Boxer rebellion, be made ap-
plieable to the men of the Marine
Corps who were at that time serving
with the army.
An estimate of 100000 is submit
ed for the construction Of barracks
and officers quarters at the navy yard
at Charleston, S. C. Gen. Elliott urges
the necessity for the immediate con-
ssruction of proper marine barracks
on the Isthmus of Panama to facili-
tate contentment and which is es-
pccially necessary for sanitary rea-
sons.
Gen. Elliott says that all the pub
'ie buildings of the Marine Corps, in
'luding those recently constructed,
'an be replaced by new buildings at
cost of not mora than $1,500,000.

Benzine as Denaturent.

Mr.. Yerkes, Commissioner of In
| ternal Revenue, when asked concern
ing the alleged control of the produc-
tion of wood alcohol by the Woods
Prodact Company of Buffalo, N. Y.
and the effect of such control l-upon the
denatured alcohol market, stated that
it is not for him to say whether it
controls 100 per cent of the entire
output or not; but even in case it does
the manufacturer Of denatured alco-
hol will not necessarily be controlled
by this same organization, as wood
alcohol is not the only denatureut,
and it will be easy to find substitutes.
He said that he gave the wood alco-
hol,people fair warning some time ago
that in case Of any attempt to con-
troll denatured alcohol through the
sale of wood alcohol as delaturent
he could easily alter the regulations.
One Of these denaturents is benzine.
The commissioner has had a number
of inquiries lately concerning benzine,
which is named in the regulations as
one of the denaturents. The ques-
ton, however, is with regard to the
danger from fire which the inquiries
supposed would be incurred and the
necessary higher insurance rates re-
sulting. Accordingly the commission
er issued statement to-day as fol
lows:
"The question has been submitted
to the Internal Revenue Bureau by
druggists, distillers and others con-
cerning fire risks, and the commission
er wishes it understood that persons
desiring to handle denatured alcohol
need have no easiness about fire risks ;
that the benzine prescribed will be
hydro-carbon, obtained either from
petroleum or coaltar, having a speci-
fc gravity of not less than 800 and a
boiling point Of not less than $50 de-
grees C. The benzine will not be a
particle more dangerous from the
point of view Of fire risk than the
alcohol itself or many other articles
whose presence in buildings does not
add to the fire risks or call for high
er rate Of insurance.
