CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY

Washington, Jan. 9.-The Brownson
affair was the chief topic of discus
sion in the senate. IL was brought up
when Senator Hale explained the navy
personnel bill which was introduced
by him. The presentation of the bill
led Senator Tillman to ask whether the
members of the committee would have
opportunity to get the facts in re-
iation to the controversy over the
Brownsen affair. Mr.. Tillman intimat-
ed that he wishes to call before the
committee witnesses to testify con-
corning this matter. Mr.. Hale replied
that he thought there would be no OBJ
stacle to allowing the senator to do
that. Mr.. Hale said he had preferred
securing facts in connection with the
personnel of the navy in connection
with the consideration of the bill in.
stead of holding an investigation OF
the particular incident which had been
subject of so much public COM
ment.
An employers liability bill was in,
PRODUCED by Representative Sterling
of Illinois. The measure is de-
signed to exclude the grounds On
which the present law was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court.

bers of the house participated In

CITY OFFICERS IN NEW LOCATION.
A Very Old Building Will Be Put to
New Uses.

The old Freedman Bank, on Adams
street, across from the Post Office, has
been put to a variety of uses since the
steps were being thronged with the
dupes Of the carpet Dagger who went
there for definite information concern
ing the promised 40 acres and a mule,
but none of these uses have been more
appropriate than the one for which the
building is now being prepared.
In a few weeks it will become the
headquarters of the City, in it being
the Offices Of the Electric, Gas and Wa
ter plants, and Of the City Tax Collec-
tor. This last Office the city council has
deemed it wise to combine, If possible,
with the management of the various
plants, as IL will be q saving to the city
Of about $500 per annum. Consequent
ly the collectors salary was cut down
for the future to the nominal sum Of
$50, and Mr.. Ellis, the manager Of the
rest Of the city's business, became q
candidate for the Office of collector.
The building is well located, well ven
tillAted and lighted, and is in every way
desirable. It will be remodelled inside
for the convenience Of the work 10 be
done there, and will be ready for oecu-
pancy by the first Of December.

MRS. SEWER LOST DIAMONDS
She Had Them In Bag While Coming
to Galveston From New York.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. PA
clue which may lead to the recovery
of the $4,000 worth of jewelry which
was recently lost by Mrs. Hal Sewer
has been found, and is being followed
up. While en- route from New York
to Galveston, Mrs. Sewer, formerly
Miss Clara Driscoll, lost leather bag
in which she kept the jewels. They
where heirlooms and valued even
more highly than their intrinsic value
Mrs. Sewer did not miss the jewels
until she reached Galveston, and she
then notified the agents of the steam
ship line on which she made the trip
from New York, and a rigid investiga-
ton was put on foot. A letter has
been received stating that there is
hope that the jewels will be recoy-
cred The fact that Mrs. Sewer either
lost or had the jewels stolen has been
kept as secret as possible 10 avoid
newspaper notoriety.

enty-first birthday today. His friends
and admirers throughout the country
remembered the anniversary with a
flood of felicitous greetings and good
wishes. Admiral Dewey, despite his
seventy-one years, is in the full en-
joyment of robust health. With the
exception of summer vacation at his
old home in Vermont he remains in
Washington the greater part of the
year. When in the city he never fails
to spend several hours each day in his
offices in the Mills building, and fire.
quently he is on hand before any OF
his clerks. AS president of the gen.
eral board he keeps in close touch
with all that the navy does and it is
safe to say that no one in the land
has followed with closer attention or
keener interest the progress of the
Atlantic battleship fleet on its trip
around the world than has the hero
of Manila Bay.
As admiral he is always on the ac-
tive list, and unlike any other officer
in the army or navy cannot be retired
for age or any other cause. At, the
same time he need not work if he pre-
ferred to do nothing and as long as
he lives he will receive the full pay
of his grade, $4,000 a year.
