The House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce decided to de-
fly the Senate in connection with all
lighthouse measures and similar bills
which must be passed on by the COM
mittee. 1t has been the practice of
the house to frame the measures in
such way that a sum of money not
specified, but not to exceed certain
amount, is to be used for the partic-
ular improvement. The Senate in
variably has changed such bills so
they appropriate fixed amount. This
system is regarded by the House In
terstate and Foreign Commerce Com
nittee as being conducive to reckless
expenditure, and the members Of the
committee will refuse to accept such
bill hereafter, and petition the SEN
ate to adopt measures which will en-
courage the completion Of work at the
lowest possible cost and the, saving
of balances which may remain. This
action Of the house committee is in
line with the general opposition which
the body is offering to what is declar-
ed to be the encroachment of the Sen
ate upon its rights.

There was gratifying decline in
the total immigration to the United
States In the month of Novembe rlast.
as compared with the corresponding
month Of 1904. Commissioner of I'm.
migration Sargent received the last of
the reports from Western ports, which
show that 61,374 foreigners landed
On our shores in November, as against
71,037 in November 1904. For some
unexplained reason there was a big
drop in immigration from Russia, the
falling off from this one country
alone being 9919 or more than so per
cent. But the rush from Italy con-
tanued with no let-up; otherwise, the
total falling off would have been
greater than actually reported There
was gain Of $500 in immigration
from Italy. Japanese are leaving
their native country in comparatively
large numbers, there being a gain Of
nearly 100 per cent an immigration
from that country to the United
States during the month Of Novem-
Der. Since the termination Of the war
with Russia, Japanese have been emf
grating rapidly.

OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS AND NOTES
ITEMS OF INTEREST BRIEFLY
CHRONICLED.
LIMIT D TENURE OF OFFICE
Bill to be introduced to Remove En-
ployes Of The Federal Government
Who are Incapacitated For Labor.
Other Notes.

Leaders in Congress believe that
. movement will be begun at this ses-
sion to bring about limited tenure
Of office in the classified Federal SER
vice. Just before the House adjourn
ed for the holiday recess Representa-
tive James A. Tawney, chairman Of
the Committee on Appropriations, in
troduced resolution requesting the
president to submit statement show
ing the number of superannuated en-
ployees In the executive departments
an Washington and in the service
throughout the country. This state
ment IS now being prepared, AMI will
probably be forwarded to the House
early next week. It will show that
there are thousands Of men on the
pay roll OF the government who for all
practical purposes are incapacitated
for labor and this document will be
used as an argument in certain quar-.
tiers for limited tenure for all per-
sons in the classified service. For
several years there has been complaint
of the large number Of superannuat-
ed employees in the departments. The
contention has been that their pres
ence tended to decentralization of the
service. Various remedial plans have
been proposed, but most Of them have
been rejected as impracticable. Meas
ures have been offered providing for
the retirement of clerks at a certain
age with a pension to be paid out of
fund created by subtracting a GER
tam percentage each year from the
salaries Of the clerks. A retirement
bill IS now being urged by an asso-
cation composed largely Of govern
ment officers and public-spirited men.
While none of the leaders in Congress
now In Washington will authorize such
a statement in his own name, Repre-
sentative Tawney intimated that it
was the general opinion that if a law
were enacted proposing the retirement
of clerks with the payment Of pen
sion from a fund created by them
selves a civil pension list would ulti-
mately be forced upon the govern
ment.

accepted was the success of the State Fair held there last fall It was shown by the committee wh%h came from At- | lanta to present herNbid that the at tendance was twice as large as that at any previous fair, and that the exhibi- ton was in every way superior to any thing else that had been undertaken under the auspices of the State Agricul- | tural Society.
 The Atlanta delegation is confident that the fair this fall will be larger and better and more successful in every way than the one last year, and the announcement that the Gate City has again won out will be hailed with en- thusiasm in the Georgia capital. The members of the State Agricul- tural Society will get behind the fair and do everything possible to assist the Atlanta Fair Association in mak- ing the fair one that will draw many thousands of visitors. While Macon would have liked very much to have secured the fair, the Central City will co- operate xwitlf the Gate City, realiz- ing that Atlanta won out because she presented the best bid''
 MT. Vandiver called atten4ion to the fact that Atlanta actually gives $47,000 to have the fair one time, whereas the Alabama Association was seeking to raise $50.0e0 in bona flde stock to an association that would own it's grounds and give an annual fair for all time.
 We don't ask anybody to give us anything," said Mir vandivers we ask them to Subscribe for stock. There Is no question about the good results such. fair will bring Montgomery. There is no question in my mind that the fair will be paying investment"
 The canvass for subscriptions among the people of Montgomery still eontin- ues.

 fer to Line.
 Although it has not been certified to the office of Adjutant- General w. w. morning that Adjutant Charles E. Dex- of the Cavalry Squadron, Alabama Na- tional Guard, has rendered his resig- nation.
 No reason for this action has been assigned by Captain Dexter, although 1t is popularity supposed that 1t Is con- nected with the recent action of Major Atkins who resigned and withdrew hls resignation at the solicitation of other officers.
 On account of business incumbent cies. Major Atkins several days ago sent in his resignation as Commander of the Alabama Cavalry Squadron. Immediately, according to his friends, there was a protest from the officers of the squadron against his leaving the service. He was urged to reconsider his action and before an order of the Governor for an election could be eXe- cuted 1t was revoked.
 As soon as he heard that the order was revoked, 1t is understood. Captain Dexter determined to resign. He was a candidate for the maJorshlp and his friends all along claimed that he would have been elected but for the revoca- ton of the. order calling for an elec- ton to fill the temporary vacancy
 In the letter of resignation which Captain Dexter has sent to the Artu' tant-General, he asks for a transfer to Troop A from the staff ot the Major

WORKSFOR THE FAIR
CHAIRMAN vANDIvER FEELS EN- CoURAGED OVER OUTLOOK.
Already s33,OeQ Has Been Subscribed te Capital stock of fhe Assoeiation. Atlanta Gave 1000 for
 One Fair.

Chairman W. F. yandiver of the Executive Committee of the Alabama Agricultural Association, which will hold annual fall fairs in Montgomery. yesterday announced that, over s3s,0oO of the s50,000 capital stock of the As- eociation had been subscribed.
 He said that letters are being re- ceived daily from prominent rner- chants. manufacturers and farmers of Middle Alabama, subscribing for stock and he had reason to believe that be- fore the end of the week the entire stock would be taken.
 Tn speaking of the Fair project. Mir. yandiver referred to the following special to The Atlanta Journal from Macon, Ga, which tells how Atlanta gave bonus of over $47.000 to have the State Fair at the Gate City this year:
 Macon, Ga, Feb. 14.-The state Fair will be held in Atlanta next fall.
 At a meeting of the Georgia State Agricultural Society here today Atlanta was awarded the fair over Macon. these two cities being the only bidders. The vote for the fair to come to Atlanta again was IS to 1s.
 The Atlanta delegation again sprung $ surprise on the Central City people, putting in bid of s47,100. which. was far and away the biggest bid ever made for a. State Fair. Macon,s bid feii short of this amount by Ss.6oo, so that Atlanta's claim to the fair next San was beyond dispute. when the merits of the two bids alone were con- sidered.
 "Atlanta's bid was divided as fol- lows:
 "Premiums, s12,o0o; races. s1o.oo0: bonus. $5,600; advertising, s6.00o; other attractions. $13,500; total, $47,100.
 The bid of Macon was:
 premiums. $20,o00; bonus. $5,000; races and other features, $12,5oo; total. s37,500.
 Last year Atlanta got the fair with 6 bid of $500, and it was not thought that the amount would be so largely increased, so that Macon was taken by surprise.
 Another fact which led to the bid of the Atlanta Fair Association being
