DOiNGS OF OUR NATIONAL
BODY OF LAWMAKERS

Washington, June 6.-The considera-
ton by the house Of the sundry civi,
appropriation bill in committee of the
whole today was made the occasion of
some severe structures by Democrats of
the heads of departments for exceeding
their legal powers, Sullivan, of Massa-
chusetts, leading the attack.
Tawney, in explaining the provisions
of the bill, which deals with all depart
ments of the government and is the
next to the last money bill to be acted
on by the house, stated that the total
appropriation for the sundry civil ex-
penses for the fiscal year 1907 carried
by this bill is $94,342,l5 OF the
total amount $25 ,456,57 is for the
Panama canal and is reimbursable
from the proceeds Of the sale of bonds.
In addition to this sum, the amount
carried for river and harbor acts, and
especially by the act passed at the last
session of congress, is in ecxess of the
amount appropriated in the current
law for that pdrpose by 6,774,044.

CAN HE DEPEND ON UNCLE SAM
John Bull lnquiring About American
Inspection System.

"SPCSp0' SySeC'''
London, June 11.-John Burns, pres
ident of the local government board,
has requested the Foreign Office to COM
municate with the State department at
Washington and ascertain to what ex-
tent reliance can be placed on the sys-
tenn of meat inspection undertaken by
the bureau of Animal industry. In
announcing that he had taken this ac-
tion through the medium of a reply to
a question put in the house of COM
mons by William Field, Nationalist
member of the st. Patrick's division Of
Dublin, and president OF the Irish
Cattle Traders and Stock Owners asso-
citation, Mr. Blrns said he had ascer-
tanned that quantity of boneless beef
and pork is imported into this country
from America and converted into SAIL
cages, which are sold as English pro-
ducts. He admitted that there were
serious difficulties in the way of effect
i've British inspection of some of these
imported foods, but said the local gov.
ernment board had taken action to see
that the local authorities exercised
their powers to the full extent.

POSTPONED UNTIL FALL.
Hermann Trial Delayed by Long
Drawn-Out Postal Case.

Washington, June 7.-Representa-
tive Hermann's trial in this city on the
letter hook indictment has finally been
postponed until the fall term of the
court and under the agreement made
today will probably not be called until
the latter part of November or Deem
ber. The case, which had been set for
trial June 18, was today postponed by
Justice Gould on motion of United
States District Attorney Baker, the mo-
tion being concurred in by A. S. Worth
ing for the defense. The latter stated
that he had agreed to the postponement
of the United States attorney with the
explicit understanding that the trial
should follow Immediately after the
trial of the Hyde Diamond Benson land
fraud cases. The postponement was
necessitated by the fact that the Green
Doremus poatoffice case gives promise
OF consuming much more of the courts
time than was originally anticipated.

Tuesday, June 8.

Washington, June s. - Before the
senate had begun business in earnest
today Senator Hale took the floor to
urge the Importance of all possible
promptness in the disposition of the
appropriation bills.
"This," he said, "is absolutely ne.
cessary if we are going to adjourn he-
fore the end OF this month, and do the
very best we may it will be the very
last days of the month before we can
possibly get through"
He gave notice that i'm 1ediately
after the close of the routin, morning
business today he would m ove to take
up the naval appropriation bill. ard he
suggested that this bill should be fol-
lowed by other appropriation bills,
even to the exclusion of conference re-
ports. He called attention to the fact
that there are elk of the big appropria-
tion bills still unacted on by the SEN
ate.

Washington, June SIN many par
ticulars today was "red letter" day
in the house, not only in the number
of bills passed, but in the general char
acter of the legislation enacted. What
bids fair to cause endless trouble, the
naturalization bill, was passed under
suspension of the rules, the speaker
and the gentleman in charge of the bill,
Bonynge, of Colorado, doing team work
of superior kind.
The house refused to pass bill leas-
ing to private firm or corporation the
right to mine coal on the island of Ba-
tan, in the Philippine group. although
it was stated that such lease would
decrease the amount paid by the gov
eminent for coal very considerably.
For two hours the house worked un-
der suspension of the rules. The rest
Of the day was taken up with the pass
age of bills by unanimous consent.

braska, building. at Moran Bros, tried
twice this morning to get back to her

given up and the boat taken out to a
city buoy. The battleship was taken

Bread Line Gradually Trimmed, but
Problem Continues Large.

Problem Continues Large.
San Francisco, June 11.-Thursday's
distribution of rations showed reduc-
tion of nearly 1900 in the bread line,
which now numbers approximately
96, 900. The exact number fed by the
raw food distribution on Thursday was
81 ,4S6, against So, 1856 on Tuesday, and
the number of meal tickets given out
had increased from II ,o95 to IL, ,254.
By the time the army leaves the
work, it is expected that the number
will have been reduced to $1,000, and
that many Of that residue will have to
be cared for an indefinite time. As
long as any of the quarters in the bar
racks which have been built at the
speedway in Golden Gate park remain
unoccupied, there will always be the
proposition of relief in excess of the de-
mand There is still room for 700 or
800 more persons.
How to manage the relief work after
the army withdraws at the end of the
month is the problem. One plan con-

meals and supplies of raw food could be

clothing, to be given out under the
management of the Red Cross.
"The Associated Charities will do
the work of investigation in whatever
form of relief is determined upon after
the army leaves" said General Greedy,
and he added: 81 have not yet seri
ously considered any of the plans for
carrying on the work after the army

No Mail for Seward Peninsula.

Seattle, June 5.-Because Of the fact
that the postal department made no ar
rangements for the forwarding of mails
from Seattle to Nome this year, no mail
will he forwarded to the Seward penin-

ernment paid cents pound on mai

bill was taken up by the senate today,
the anti-pass conference amendment re-
ceived the attention of Spooper. In
the main he endorsed the prohibition

employees. Congress had no right, he
said, to step between employer and

propriating $25, 900 for the president
went out in the house of representatives
on point made by Williams, of Mis-
sissippi. The decision, however, that

ence, after debate on several topics,
which ended in the rejection of the con-
ference report.

Expression "Fired Out" in Classics.
Is fired out" an Americanism? This
question is put by London paper In
discussing the use of the expression by
the Vienna correspondent of the Times
in connection with the dismissal of the
American ambassador to Austria Hun
gary. Anything that seems slangy Is
generally stamped as an Americanism,
but in this case. as in so many others
of n similar nature. it Is shown that
the phrase can be found embedded in
the classics of the English language.
Fired out" an Americanism? Well,
In one of Shakspeares sonnets. as OH
of the London papers says, you may
read:
Yet this shall l ne'er know, but live in

by Morgan in support of his resolution
providing for an investigation by cen.
ate committee OF the affairs of the Isle
of Pines, and the other by Hopkins in
opposition to the sea level canal bill.

time was also spent in considering the

Warrington. June 8.-With the ex-
.ception of an hour spent on pension
legislation, in which time 1927 bills for
the relief of Civil and Spanish Ameri-
can war veterans we're passed, the
house labored today on the sundry civil
bill, making much headway.
Under the lead OF keifer, OF Ohio,
the house refused to transport silver
coins and other money by registered
mail, insisting that their transporta-
tion ehould be handled by the express
companies. During the arguments it
was contended that the West and South
need silver dollars for circulation.
