The Carpenters Union of Brunswick
has been forced to diSband owing to
the nOn-SuccesS of the members to

union was composed of nearly 80 men.
The union men asked $50 day for
eight hours. while the non-uni"n men
asked only $2.25 for nine hours. Ac-
cordirgly the union men were unable
to obtain sufficient work to make the

TIDAL BASIN BRIDGE.
Material for Structure Delivered and
Workmen Preparing Foundation.

A large quantity of stone in large blocks,
for use in the building of the new piers for
the railway bridge over the tidal basin out
let at the foot of 18th street southwest, has
been delivered at the bridge and is lying
piled up alongside the railway tracks until
it is wanted A force of worknen are en-
ployed in putting in the concrete base on
which the pier will stand, and the work on
the stone portion of the pier will be started
in a few days. The cofferdam which
was built at the foot of 14th street has not
yet been used and is still floating in the
harbOr alongside the bridge. A large guam
tity of sand and gravel is being used in the
concrete work and steam mixer is at
work combining the ingredients of the con-
crete before IT is placed in position.
The construction of the piers for the
bridge that will carry the new tracks of
the Washington Southern railroad ever
Gravelly run, on the Virginia side of the
river, near the old Alexander Island race
track. has been completed and temporary
bridge has been thrown across the stream.
The railway engineers have been for sew
eral months employed in building these
piers and have experienced considerable
difficulty in doing so. 1t is stated that
much trouble was had in securing a foun-
dalton for the piers In the deep mud of the
marsh at the point where the bridge is to
be built, but the difficulty was finally over
come and the piers are now completed.

DEBATED FOUR HOURS.
Appointment of Delegates to the Mo
roccan Conference.

The propriety of discussing in open Sen
ate a resolution introduced by Senator Ba-
con. calling upon the President for an ac-
count of his appointment of delegates to a
proposed conference on Moroccan affairs, to
be held by European powers at Algeciras
Spain was considered for four hours yes
terday afternoon, and then by strict party
vote il was decided that the resolution
should be executive business Senator Ba-
con- in supporting his resolution, contended
for a public discussion, and Senator Spoon
er declared that the adoption of the resolu-
ton would be an eneroachment by the Sen
ate upon the constitutional rights of the
President and virtually would charge him.
in a manner amounting almost to insult,
with ignorance of his duties as chief magis-
trate
Offense was taken by Senator Bacon to
the remarks OF Senator Spooner the former
declaring emphatlcally that he did not pur-
pose to be charged with insulting the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. spooner said that he did not mean
to imply that It had been an insult to intro
duce the resolution. but that 1t would be
an affront to the President to adopt meas
ure which questioned the executive on a
matter in which he was well within his own
rights.
Insisting that he could not see the dis
tinction Senator Bacon said that If it would
amount to an insult for the Senate to adopt
the resolution 1t would be just as much so
for him to offer 1t.
"I DO not understand your logic" replied
Senator Spooner, but If that is your con-
clusion and you insist upon constituting your
course as an action of the Senate. of course
I cannot finch from the consequences. ;"
The Wisconsin senator's reply ended what
had threatened to be a dangerous colloquy
and the debate on the general proposition
was resumed
Spectators were excluded from the Sen
ate upon motion of Senator Lodge, who
objected to Senator Bacon making a speech
on his resolution in open session. Osten-
sibly 1t was to settle that point that the
doors were closed. but the merits of the
resolution were threshed out so thoroughly
that 1t Is unlikely they will. again be
gone into. Every republican senator voted
against considering the resolution in legis-
lative session. and Senator Pettus, one of
the ten democrats present. all OF whom
voted for consideration in public session.
declared that he WAS opposed to the adop-
ton of the resolution. II called up again
It is probable that it win be referred to the
foreign relations committee without debate.

PHILATELISTS MEET
ADHESIVE STAMPS OF THE UNIT
ED STATES DISCUSSED.

Large attendance marked the monthly
meeting of the Washington Philatellc So
cety. which was held Monday evening at
Oppenheimer Hall at 5l4 9Th street north
west The adhesive stamps of the United
States were the special subject for study
for the evening, and the program. when
was in charge of John w. Dye, was very
interesting to philatelists. Cyrus Fields
Adams president of the society, was in the
chair and j. Finney Engle acted as secre-
tary.
In a comprehensive paper on the stamps
of the United States Mr.. Dye gave an &C
count of the various issues which have
been made Not counting reprints or par
tial reissues, there have been twenty full
issues of stamps by this government in the
sixty years that stamps have been issued.
In the past sixteen years there have been
eight sets. The first adhesive stamps, he
said, were issued In 1917, and the last issue
was that for the Louisiana purchase exposl-
tion in 1904. He took up the details of the
various issues, the date of issue, the de-
nominations and the reasons for their issue.
A feature to which he directed attention
was that in 1S4T the rate on single sheet
of paper, folded and sent without an en-
yelope for short distances was 8 cents. In
1851 the letter rate was reduced to cents,
and IN 1888 1t was reduced to = cents ana
letters can now be sent to any part of the
country and to colonies at that rate. There
have been five special issues In sixty years.
The first special issue was in 1869 and was
a jubilee stamp to celebrate the union OF
the states In 1893 the Columbian set Of
stamps to mark the Chicago exposition
were issued. The trans-M iSsissippi EXPOSE
ton in 1893 was similarly marked with a
special issue of stamps. In 1901 the PAN
American exposition caused a special issue
for the occasion. The latest special issue
was in 1904 for the st. Louis worlds fair.
no Of no hich IpporOirIa U
the government with these special issues
was criticised by the speaker He pointed
out that the 81 stamp of the last special
issue was worth $40, simply because few of
the stamps were used and the most of the
issue were bought up by stamp collectors
for speculation.
