THE LAST session of the Fifty-ninth Congress
began its session on Monday last. The atten
dance in both the Senate and House was very
large and although the proceedings were rather
commonplace much interest appeared to be
manifested. In the Senate some comment
was made on account of resolutions offered by
Senators Penrose and Foraker to make inquiry
regarding the discharge by the President from
the service of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, 9
negro regiment that had been stationed in the
South and that was charged with grossly dis
orderly conduct. President Roosevelt. upon
the report of the proper authorities discharged
the regiment in a body without honor.

SALT LAKE CITY. April 9.-That thers
is no law limiting or prescribing the char
acter OF printed matter which a congEess-
man may authorize to be sent through the
mails under his official frank is the gist Of
a decision rendered here today by Judge
John A. Marshall of the United States dis
trict court l., r. Anderson, chairman Of
the republican committee of San Pedro
county. Utah. was indicted for alleged H.
legal use Of the frank Of Congressman
James 4. Tawney Of Minnesota. Anderson
used the congressional frank for distribut-
ing in Utah political matter in no way re-
lating TO the proceedings OF congress.
Among this matter was a speech by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on irrigation. In ordering
the dismissal Of the charge against Ander-
son Judge Marshall declared that there was
no law limiting the character OF such mat
ter which a congressman might authorize
to be sent out. He expressed the opinion.
however, that congress was remiss In not
definitely liking within reasonable limits
the character OF matter that congressman
may put into the mails.

Bills Passed Regulating schools and
Employment of Child Labor.

WASHINGTON, April s.-This was dis
trfct day in the house and that body re-
solved itself into a common council for
the purpose OF making District OF Column
bia laws. Bills were passed requiring nom
resident pupils to pay tuition and regulat-
ing the employment of child labor.
Mr.. Hepburn Qa), replying TO a long
speech OF Mr. slmms OF Tennessee in which
he advocated self-government for the peo-
ple Of the District of Columbia, made a de-
fense Of the form Of the government. but
criticised its administration. He did not
think two newspaper men and one army
ofacer. who constitute the Board OF Com
missioners, the proper personnel for such
a government. While he admitted the ora
torical powers OF newspaper men on the
board. he thought It would be better for
them TO improve the city streets than make
speeches.

conferees being Messrs. Lttauer. Tawney
