isfactory verified information, and
nnally the masure is so amended as II
require ''reasona BILE prudence. not
ordinary prudence" as the House
substitute provides.
Mr.. DalZell believed the bill very
much stronger than the La Toilette
bill. for the bill now covered fast mail
trains and excursion trains. which, ne
said. We're wholly left out Of the La
Toilette bill

THAT MILEAGE QUESTION.
Members of House Believe 1t Should
Be Limited to Actual Expenses.

Washington. Feb. 24-When the re-
port of the conferees of the legislative,
executive and judicial bill was present.
ed to the House Crumpacker of Indi-
ana asked what provision was made re-
specting tie mileage. allowance of MEN,
ners of Congress in view of the in
crease made in salaries and in response
Lattaeur explained that no change had
been made in the amount allowed and
that it remained 20 cents mile. He
said, however, that the committee on
appropriation WAS considering the slib-
ject and would doubtless limit the mile
age allowance to actual travelling eX-
pensas in the general deficiency bill,
although such provision would be sub
ject to a point of order il raised. Crum-
packer thought the limit ought 10 be
made.
Il want to say" exclaimed Gaines of
Tennessee, that l am opposed tC this
20-cents- annie proposition and want
TO state that if tho amount is not limit
cd to actual travelling expenses I will
refuse to accept more than my actual
travelling expenses" The conference re-
port was adopted without division.

When the Senate resumed considera-
ton OF the agricultural appropriation
bill Saturday the provision for sur
Ney of the proposed White mountain
and Appalachian forest reserve. for
which SO. 900 is provided was agreed
to without argument.
The fight which is being made by
Senator Hepburn. Idaho. representative,
against the addition of S100O,000 for the
forest reserve service was resumed
This amount in intended to make up
the amount which would go to the ser
vice from the sale of timber. grazing
contracts and other revenue. but which
under an amendment made during the
consideration of the bill, will now be
turned into the treasury.
Heyburn made a point of order
against the appropriation, saying II
had not been estimated for by the de-
partment nor recommended by tne
committee. He was overruled.
He then said that every leSitlh'ate
point that could be made against the
provision would be made. He proposed
to show that the Senate was being car
ried away by admiration for the chle1
Of the bureau. He read the items ioi
which the money is to be expended.

come to the effect that certain persons
who had gone for their health nad

that in MANY instances they were using

Heyburn said he had heard such ru-
noors. but he held such statements 70

ton.
After Senators Fulton. Carter ana
Patterson had proposed various amend
ments. Senator Spooner made orlei
defence of the forest reserve system

French Offer Of Leasing
Churches Not Acceptable.
Pope Plus VIII Hold RigidIy to
Conditions Imposed.
cIsmsneeau Never Expected Leas.
Ing Offer to Be Accepted.

Paris, Feb. 24-The clerical organi-
cation is unit in declaring that Car
dinal Richard. archbishop of Paris. will
not submit to the new proposition of
the government regarding church
leases, and their Rome dispatches cat
agoricaliy insist that Pope Plus has re-
solved to maintain integrally the orig
inal text offered by the French episco-
pate and refuse even to discuss the
governments exceptions relative to the
liability Of parish priests for the keep
iEg up of the churches and the exciu-
sion of foreign priests, or members of
dissolved orders as parties to contracts.
Whether these inspired statements are
only part of the diplomatic game re-
mains to be seen.
Premier Clemenceau now admits
frankly that 50 far as he is concerned
he never expected the church to accept
the conditions as to leases. but he says
that Minister of Education BRAND did
oud that the cabinet unanimously ac-
corded a chance to conclude the nego-
tiations upon the terms stated.
1.-THE future will show which is right
whether he is the victim Of an illu-
sion or / am mistaken" the premier
adds.
IF no agreement is reached. what
will happen" Premier Clcmenceau was
asked.
Nothing very terrible" the premier
replied. 81 think we will return to the
solution previously contemplated. The
churches will remain open, that goes
without saying. and it is conceded.
without lease to the clergy. and the
state department or commune, as the
case may be. will bear the cost of keep
ing up repairs to 2. church out of the
funds Of the church itself. But rest as
Sured the government will go no fur
