Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, June IL.
SENATE.

SENATE.
William Pinkney WHITE, Maryland's
new Senator, took the oath of Office at
the opening Of today's session of the
Senate. Hundreds of admirers from his
State witnessed the ceremony, which
was of the customary simplicity.
Mr.. Rayner, his colleague, did the
honors of escort. In few moments was
finally consummated one Of those sur
prising freaks of politics, by which a
maa at eighty-two years of age, re-en-
tered the Senate to Gil by appointment a
vacancy by the death Of the Senator, A.
A. p. German, the minority leader, who,
over Is years ago, lriumphed over him
and took the seat IN the same body held
Tor several terms by Mr.. Whyte.
The first Senator to greet him after he
had signed the Senate roll was Mr. Till
man. He was later warmly greeted by
members of the democratic side.
When the majority and minority re-
ports in the Smoot case were presented
in the Senate today, Mr.. Burrows, chair
man of the committee on privileges and
elections, gave notice that he would call
up as soon as the condition of the pub
lie business permitted, the resolution de-
claring that Reed SmOOt was not entitled
to his seat.
Mr.. Foraker, in charge of the minor
ity report, joined in the declaration.
Mr.. Bailey, another member of the COM
mittee, announced that while he concur
red in views of the majority, he held
that Mr.. Smoot must be removed by
resolution of expulsion.
Mr.. Tillman inquired what the COM
miltee on france was doing with his
resolution calling for an investigation
looking to legal proceedings against
National banks charged with improper
practices. He sharply criticised the IL
nancial operations OF John r. Walsh,
characterized them as "wildcal schemes"
Mr.. Hopkins defended Walsh and de.
clared that when some one lost money
through him it would be time for COM
plant.
Mr.. Adrich, chairman of finance CON-
nitiee, explained that one part of the
resolution had been disposed of by the
passing of bill prohibiting campaign
contributions by banks. The other
questions he said would be considered at
a meeting tomorrow.

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE II, 1906.

As HE has proved himself in the fight
against proper meat inspection law
the most formidable opponent OF the
public interest and the most powerful
friend in Congress of the beef trust, so
Speaker Cannon, acknowledged by virtue
of his position to be the republican
leader in the House, is demonstrating
in his treatment of the pure food bill
the same indifference to its welfare that
has characterized his attitude With re-
spect TO the meat question. 1t has now
become manifest that only such aroused
public sentiment as has made possible
the passage oi meat inspection bill
will force the Speaker and those who
stand with him, holding the House in
check, to permit the pure food measure
TO come before the House for consider
alton. The Speaker has denied this
He has sent some threatening messages
10 Western newspapers that have criti-
cised him with the respect to the matter,
and has announced that when the com
mittee on interstate commerce wants the
bill considered it will come up The
pure food bill is in the hands Of Repre-
sentative Hepburn, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee, and
the Speakers declaration would appear
70 throw all blame for the failure OF the
measure until the present time, upon
Mr.. Hepburn.

The House committee on agriculture
went into executive session this morning
to consider legislation designed to cor
rect the evils recently complained OF IN
the packing house business. There ale
three distinct measures before the com.
mittee: The Beverage amendment, which
places the cost of inspection on packers;
the WadswOrth substitute, which pro

embodied in a bill suggested by Judge
CoWan, representative of the cattle in

about such matters, believing, as it does,

TOMORROW elections will be held in
the various cities throughout the State
for members of the several city councils
In Alexandria the democratic nominees
for both ORANGES of Council have no OPP
position save in the Fourth ward, where
an independent republican is a -csndi-
date for the Common Council. The
two democratic nominees in this ward
are at present members of Council and
hold the positions of chairmen of the
committees on finance and light, and it
would be serious matter for the city if
either should be defeated. 1t is there
fore the duty of the democratic voters OF
that ward to go to the polls and see that
the nominees of their party are returned.

The government lumber business is getting to be of considerable size, though in operation only short time. By the act of March 8, 1891, the president of the United States was authorized to proclaim forest re- serves; a power first exercised by President Harrison, who. on March 30 of that year, created the Yellow stone park timber land reserve. Au- thority over these reserves was given to the secretary of the interior, the administrative work to be conducted by the general land office. During the year 1905 the sales of timber from the national reserves were as fol- lows: The largest sales so far are 71,466,537 board feet from South Dakota; 6S,255,916 from Wyoming, and 5,327,443 from Utah. In sales of wood for fuel South Dakota led with 29,S44k cords; Arizona fol- lowed with 16,649, and Colorado with 10,7s5h. The total number of cords sold was 74.120. In sales of posts and poles Montana led with $500, followed by Wyoming with 30,750, and Colorado with 13,9SS. The total number sold was 1SS,740. The largest timber sales were made in Wyoming, where they reached s143,s94s1. South Dakota's sales ranked second in value, amounting to s7s,95s.24, and Colorado's to s23,- 937.07. The total sales for 1905 reached s273,659.s2. Nor are the re- ceipts from these sales swallowed up by the cost of administration. The entire property of the forest reserves worth s250,000,0 in cash. is now being administered at a cost of less than one-third of per cent of its value. while increase in that value oi not less than 10 per cent a year is taking place. AS the use of the re serves increases. the cost of admin
 istration must. of course. increase also. but receipts will certainly in
 crease much more rapidly. The tim,
 is not far distant when the forest re
 serves will become self-sustaining
 Later, they may confidently be ex
 pected to become a source of publi,
 revenue.

The death of Michael Davitt, com ing just at this time, when there seems faint glow of hope for home rule in Ireland, is to be regretted, for no man perhaps in the history of Ire land has given more of his time and talent to the cause than he did. No sacrifice was too great for him to make, and he thought nothing of making trips to the farthermost ends of the earth, if by so doing he thought he could win point in Ire lands favor. He was a born leader and parliamentarian, and just at this time was the foremost leader and hardest worker in the cause to which he devoted his whole life.

 cal and Terpsichorean Novelties.

Among the special attractions an- nounced for the Barnum & Bailey circus when it exhibits in this city June 12 is a troupe of eight men and women artists from Scandinavia, who are known as The Gitanas." The entertainment is described as being of a wonderfully versatile character. 4 review of these clever people says:
 Dressed in their picturesque na- tional or gypsy costumes. this inter esting troupe produces the sweetest melodies imaginable from all sorts of instruments. interspersing their mus ical exploits with sweet sons and charming dances. Among the articles used to produce harmonies are glass es. bottles and even such queer things as nails. They perform most cleyerly and artistically upon mandolins. xylo- phones, horns. yiolins. guitars. flutes and picoolos. Incidental to the music extracted from these curious instru- ments the clever troupe introduce their national songs in solos. duets and quartetteS with the singular and exquisite blending of strange forest horns. finally supplementing their most remarkable series of eI- ploits with an sbsorbingIy interest ing exhibition of the many dances iD vogue with the peasants of Sweden.
