WATERWAY BILL PASSED.
But Newlands Is Told II VIII Not
Get Through senate.

The bill to perpetuate the Inland Water
ways Commission was passed by the
House yesterday. but its prospects are
below zero in the Senate. where there
Is apparently some resentment of Presi-
dent Roosevelts declaration. in his open
ing address at the conference Of COVER
nors, that IL Congress did not give au-
thOrity TO perpetuate the commission he
would do it anyway. Loud cheering fol-
lowed this sally, but the Senate has not
been affected.
Senator Newlands. of Nevada, has a
bill pending TO appropriate S2O,0 to carry
out the work Of the commission. It pro-
vided originally that the commission
should be continued. The Committee on
Commerce, having in mind what the
President had said. amended the bill so as
TO strike out the provision for "cOntinu-
ing" the commission, and inserting in its
place authority for the President to "ap-
point a commission, which was a delicate
way Of saying that the present body had
never been legally in existence.
Yesterday Mr.. Newlands got word from
some Of the Senate leaders that his bill
would not go through The bill passed
the House by 224 TO 2, the negative votes
being cast by Messrs. Clayton and
Stephens, of Texas.

dicted
The Washington herald., 1908-05-17

The present session OF the sixtieth
Congress. which is scheduled to end next
week, has been a record-breaker in many
respects.
Whether it should be called liberality
or extravaganza. il Is a fact that the
appropriations of this session so far au-
thorized exceed those of the first session
of the Fifty-ninth Congress by more than
S30o, ,0o0,00o The total appropriations made
up TO this time at this session aggregate
approximately sS54. S44SO7. This includes
all the amounts so far carried IN every
Bill and joint resolution passed The
amount will be increased by the general
deficiency and omnibus public building
bills. and such other measures as may go
through before adjournment.
At the first session Of the Fifty-ninth
Congress. an aggregate Of $549. 246 was
appropriated. This means that the ap-
propriations for this session already ex-
eeed those Of tive years ago by $SO5, 600 0oO.
High Record for Bills.
This session has also established high
record for the number Of bills and reso-
lutions introduced and considered and for
the transaction Of executive business.
There have been 7,127 bills introduced in
the Senate and p l,s45 in the House. In the
Senate. 50 joint resolutions were offered,
Of which 80 were passed, and 9 have be-
come laws The Senate considered IS4
simple resolutions.
Up TO this time ll5 bills and Is joint
resolutions have become laws. The Sen
ate has passed 4S4 bills Il Of which were
omnibus pension bills. It is estimated
that these measures represented more
than 900 individual claims, and that the
saving in printing and handling them ap-
proximated S1.000,000.
During the first session Of the Fifty
ninth Congress. which continued five
weeks longer than the present session,
95lS bills were introduced in the House
and 6,556 in the Senate.
Executive Record Broken.
The executive business done by the Sem
ate at this session easily beats all pre-
vious records. It is almost three times
greater than was handled during any
previous long session. Up 10 this time
thirtyfour treaties have been ratified and
made public. 4 large number OF arbi-
tTatiOn treaties are included in the
resume Of work performed. But six
treaties remain not acted upon by the
Senate.

AGED CLERKS TO STAY.
Agreement Reached on Legislative,
Executive, and Judicial Bill.

Executive, and Judicial Bill.
Although no report was made to the
Senate. the conferees on the legislative
executive. and judicial appropriation bill.
which has been in conference for nearly
two months. yesterday reached an agree
ment.
The provision in the bill Of greatest in
terest in the District. when provided for
the dismissal of aged employees in the
various departments and was known as
the approximation clause" was modi-
fed to the form in which it has hereto
fore been left in the bill. preventing the
dismissal OF aged employees unless perma-
nently incapacitated. In this form the
provisioE IS innocuous.
The senate's general increase of pay
and reorganization in the Patent once
is retained, and the proposed decrease
IN the number OF employees embraced in
a bin which mas passed the House is
made unnecessary because Of the need
Of additional clerks at the Office. the ad-
ditiOn making the force equal to its
present strength. The conferees also
placed In the bin an appropriation of
$4,000 for rent of quarters in which 20
store Patent ONCE models. a commission
being created 10 determine which models
are of historic interest and worthy Of
preservation. Those not selected for
preservation are TO be disposed of as de-
termined By the Secretary Of the Treas
ury.
The salary Of the chief clerk Of the
War Department Is increased in the per-
fected bill to $1,000 a year. and he IS
given a new title, being described as
assistant and chief clerk The sala-
ries Of all the First Assistant Secretaries
Of departments are increased from S4.5O0
10 $3.50 year, and the salaries of the
three Assistant Secretaries Of the Treas
ury Department are also increased to
$500.

MAY KNOCK OUT SUBSIDY.
Overstreef's Opposition Threatens
item In Posa-nffiee Rul

Tho Senate and House conferees on
the Post-ofice appropriation bill ad-
journed yesterday until Monday without
making any progress toward an agree
flent on the ocean mail subsidy amend
ment inserted by the Senate.
There Is great danger that this amend
Inent will fail. owing, it is said, TO the
attitude of Representative Overstreet.
the leading House conferee, and chair
man Of the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads.
It wes reported last night that. in
spite Of the fact that the ocean mail
subsidy is regarded as a Republican
measure. Mr.. overstreet Is showing a
disposition to oppose the project at the
very moment when IT'S success seemed
assured.
A canvass made last month indicated
that q large majority OF the Republican
members Of the House were for the sub
sidy. and It was expected that there
would be little II any difficulty in enact
ing 1t into law II the Senate amended
the Post-oflee bin appropriately.
The Senate conferees are standing drza
for the amendment
