Diserepaney in Dates.

Washington, July 3.-Dlscrepancy i'm
the official dates of the adjournment
of the two houses OF congress caus-
ed some discussion at the capitol as
to whether this would affect legisla-
ton passed on the closing day. The
journal of the house shows that that
body adjourned on the goth, while the
senate journal shows that the upper
branch adjourned on the both of June.
This arose from the fact that when
the house convened on the both, ii
was still proceeding under the legisla-
tive day of the 10Th. as a result or
having taken a recess on the night of
the 18th. Mr.. Cours, clerk of the
house committee on appropriations,
said that similar case arose some
years ago and that the comptroller OF
the treasury decided that the SEEM
ing difference in the dates of adjourn
ment was a Legislative fiction and not
fact.

consolidated under the same banner
and the Cambria Iron Co. will also be
included in the deal.
The first move was made by the
Jones & Laughlin people, when they
obtained at Washington the right to
construct a bridge across the river
here. At first it was given out that this
was merely to connect their plants
with the Wabash railroad. Now, how
ever, 1t is known that the Jones &
Laughlin Co. will build an ore carrying
line to the lakes SO they can secure
raw material as cheaply as does the
steel corporation.
In addition to this, Jones & Laughlin
have taken on several miles of river
frontage on the Ohio several miles be-

swaouer uniforns.

Washington, u. c., July 3.--The emf
ployment of an English tailor to help
the style of the uniforms issued to
enlisted men of the army has aroused
much comment, not all of It Of a
friendly nature. The announcement
of this engagement of British assist
ance and skill is responsible for much
feeling on the part of the American
taiiors especially those who make MILF
tary and naval uniforms. They think
1t is, more or less a reflection on their
business that the war department goes
to England and brings over foreign
err to give the soldiers dress the re-
Quired smartness, which is the doSnir
mating note Of the foreign military
dress and Is SO lacking In the soldiers
clothes in this country. 1t is half
expected by those who are watching
some interesting developments in the
case of the war department that some
one may file q complaint against the
British tailor, and SO lend to his de-
tention by the immigration officials
1t has been desired by the army quar-
terrnasters for some time that the
government cutters be trained to give
d better shape to their suits of clothes
and that the uniform of the trooper
be put In more attractive form
This has led to the contract with the
best known of the British military
tailors to come over and iInpart his
knowledge os how to do 1t to some
OF the employees who work on army
clothing.

For two years the national toll of
Fourth of July casualties has been less
than formerly. This saving of life has
been due directly to the increase of
popular sentiment against the abuse of
the celebrations. The reformatory adj
vance, however, only has emphasized
the need of further awakening. Last
years total of 1872 lives offered up
would appear even more horrible than
1t is, were it not for the comparison
with the total of 466 lives lost in 1908.
That year and 1900 with figures Of 459
record the high totals for the years
from 1899 to the prescnt--the years in
which The Chicago Tribune gathered
statistics.
The changes for the better in ways
|of celebrating were shocked into being
BY the record OF 1903. Cities through
out the country prepared ordinances
against the use Of toy pistols and can
non crackers. Many of the municipali-
ties enforced the new laws on the next
Fourth and In consequence the death
list was brought down to 1873 persons.
Last year the number of fatalities was
one less.
