The first session of the fifty-ninth
 congress spent more money than any
 session of congress in the history of the United States. The appropria- ton of public moneys is perilously near the billion dollar mark for the single session. At the rate public money is being expended, and de-
 mands for greater sums being formu-
 lated, the short session will come to a close in March, 1907, with appro- priations very near two billion dol
 lars for two years. It is very doubt full if the men responsible for the ap- propriations In the senate and house. and the officials of the treasury de- partment have had any serious con sultation as to whether there will be money enough at the end of the next fiscal year to meet the enormous de- mands upon accumulated surplus and the revenues, which are now being authorized.

THE wANpERER's RETURN.
President Castro Resumes Power
 Amid Thunder of Artillery.

Amid Thunder of Artillery.
 CARACAS, July T.-President Cipri- ano Castro has returned to Caracas and formally resumed executive au- thority after retirement for three months from the rule of Venezuela.
 Festivities of the most imposing character. extending over two days marked the event. which coincided with the greatest national holiday of Venezuela. the ninety fifth anniversary of it's declaration of independence.
 Five triumphal arches were erected in Caracas along the route of General Castro on his arrival from the railway station to the federal palace. A state reception to the returning president by all the governors of states and mayors of municipalities was given. together with display of the national flag from all public buildings and private houses. The programme included:
 Continuously from noontime till 6 D. m. the firing of sslvos of artillery. followed by display of fireworks on Plaza Bolivar and an illumination of the eIlipitical room of the federal pal ace. Tn the evening grand state hall marked socially General Castro's form al resumption of the reins of power.
 One of the first matters which will he brought to the attention of PresI- dent Castro will be the instructions sent to American Minister Russell at Caracas. demanding an immediate set tIement of the long pending American claims against TenezueIa.

The republican party is going on the stump this fall and use the record 1t has made at the last session of congress as a reason why the sixtieth
 congress should be left in it's hands. They will claim a victory for state- hood legislation, for railroad rate legislation, for an omnibus public building bill carrying $20,O0, 900, and for the s2,50o, ,oOo that was giv- en to suffering California. So far as the statehood legislation is concerned the attitude of the republican party has been the worst and most miser- able attempt to browbeat the people of Arizona and New Mexico, and in an utter disregard of the rights of those people as was ever witnessed In the annals of this country. If it had not been for the democrats in congress, and one or two republicans like Senator Foraker. there would have been no statehood for Oklaho- ma and Indian Territory, or else, Arizona and New Mexico would have been raped by joint statehood. in the face of the protest from an over- whelming majority of the citizens of those two territories. The democrats held up all legislation that would have gone through by unanimous consent, thereby not only killing many job that would have robbed the people by the we'll known meth ods of republican legislation, but forced the speaker and his cohorts to surrender and do justice to the people of Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory. as we'll as to New Mexico and Arizona, by making a state of the former and allowing the latter to vote on whether or not they desired joint statehood.

Charged With Conspiracy to Blacken
 His Own wife's Character.
 PETERSBURG, July 7.-Charged with conspiracy to blacken the character of his wife. Augustus Harue is con fronted with prison bars. Along with the wall paper millionaire in his pres ent difficulty are his bosom friend John L. Welshons, president of the Farrar- Welshons Hardware company. and Clifford Hooe, the negro coachman, first named as correspondent. The ar rest of Hartje and Welshons took place last night They were released on bail.
 The next thrill in tMs case of many thrills is expected to be furnished in the shape of the arrest of young woman who will be charged with forg- ing the burning love letters produced in court last Monday and purporting to have been written by Mrs. Hartje to Thomas Nadine, the white coachman. The name of the suspected young woman will probably he brought out today. and her arrest may follow the close of the session. The lawyers for Mrs. Hartje will endeavor to prove the letters are forgeries and will then openly accuse the young woman.
 It is said that she has been offered an opportunity to clear herself. at least in part. by disclosing who hired her to write the letters. and that she has ac- cepted it. It is asserted that the cir cumstances under which the alleged forgeries were committed will in them selves form a most startling and dra- matic chapter in the divorce drama.

HORRIBLE BEYOND WORDS.
Publication of the Special Committee,
Report.

The President messaged the Meat In
spection report of Messrs. Neill and
Reynolds to Congress last Monday, and
the world now knows that conditions
in the packing houses are worse than
was ever guessed, so bad that one can
not comprehend at first reading the
enormity of the crimes perpetrated un-
der the seal of the United States Gov
ernment. The President in his mes
sage speaks of the grave situation and
urges Congress to act at once, as the
President declares that the Government
is now doing all that the law will per-
NIT it to do and that he is helpless until
he gets aid through adequate laws. and
appropriations of sufficient amount to
push punishment of the packers.
The President indicates in the mes
sage that he has known of these con-
ditions for a long time through reports
made to him of investigations made by
the Agricultural Department He calls
attention to the fact that the report by
his chosen men is preliminary, and
that the investigation is still unfin-
ished." The report is very long and
only the salient features can be given
at this time.
The committee finds that the stock
yards, pens. pavement and viaducts are
Shiny, malodorous when wet, and when
dry fill the air with poisonous dust;
that dead hogs, calves, sheep, and cat
tie are showed out ard left for days in
heaps to poison the air.
The buildings are found to be unsani-
tary in every respect, not ventilated at
all. artificial light being needed in most
of them. Most of the rooms are de-
scribed as being vaults where the air
is never changed" When there are
windows they are so beclouded with dirt
that no light can enter.
The equipment for work is made
quate. Tables of wood, barrows of
wood, Shiny. sinking floors on which
meat is piled to get it out of the way till
wanted for cutting up, and grease and
dirt of untold age with scraps of stink
ing meat adhere to everything.
