On Il point of order by Stafford, Wis,
there was stricken from the bill the pro-
vision authorizing a sub-surface destroy
er or torpedo boat.
There was a brief discussion ever the
old question of ar1nor plate and its cost.
Hitchcock, Neb., commended that there
really was no competition and he offered
an amendment fixing the price at 1915 a
ton of 22i6 pounds.
Tawney insisted that there was compe-
titicn and said that as a result of it the
government saved 100000 on the battle
ships Delaware and North Dakota alone
After long consideration of the question
of n point of order against the amend
ment raised by Foss, the Chair sustained
that gentleman and the amendment was
lost. In brief speech KnOwland, Cal,
denounced I.illey for making 'palpable
false and misleading statements in his
speech of last week regarding worthless
navy yards in which he stated that the
Mare Island navy yard was one OF them.
knowland said
when, like Don Quxote, Mr.. Lilley
buckles On his armor, dons his helmet and
in place OF the lance substitutes the pen,
and, ting out, strikes out right and
left, even venturing into submarine
depths, I can but wish him God speed,
for 1 know that his enjoyment is keen
and that the country is amused if not
enlightened"
Liiley, he said, had grossly mlsrepre-
sented the facts regarding the Mare Is
land dry dock in the matter of work done
and money paid out, and he quoted off,
cial figures to sustain the denial. He
hurled a bomb at Lilley and charged that
that gentleman had at New London. Ct,
in his own district, a useless navy yard
upon which considerable sums are being
uselessly expended.
Replying briefly, Liley declared that
his figures were obtained from the navy
department and that he would just as
soon abandon the New London navy yard
as any other one should it be shown to
be useless.
TaWney opposed adoption without care
fnl investigation of an amendment by
Padgett. Tenn, appropriating $5.5G3, 300 for
repairs to IS vessels.
The money is to be paid out of the ap-
preparation Of sS.0O0GOO for construction
and repair of vessels. The amendment
was adopted without division under a
suspension of the rules, the idea being
to forestall the Democrats in the matter
OF unnecessary roll calls. The vote re-
suited: Yeas 264, nays 10.
70 the surprise of everyone Williams
did not insist on roll call on a motion
to take recess and accordingly the
House at 552 p. NJ recessed until 1l3O
tomorrow.

A committee representing the New
York Maritime Exchange called upon
the President Thursday to urge par
don for Capt. w. s. Van Shack, who
was the pilot OF the Inflated steamer
General Slocum. Capt Van Schaick Is
serving a 10-year sentence in Sing Sing
for negligence in connection with that
disaster. The Presidet referred the
members of the committee to the at
torney general for q report upon the
matter.
The Senate committee on postofIlces
and post roads Thursday voted to re-
port ravorably the postal savings bank
bill drafted by a subcommittee of
which Senator Carter was chairman.
An amendment was adopted changing
the name of the proposed institutions
to postal depositaries which meets the
objections raised against the bill by
bankers. The amendment does not alter
the purpose of the bill, the objects of
which are to furnish convenient de-
pOsitaries for the small savings of
people remote from adequate banking
facilities.
Chairman Fowler of the House COM
mittee on banking and currency
Thursday introduced a bill providing
for the appointment of committee of
43 members to prepare bill "for

Henry Towne, representing the Mer-

posed the federation bill.
I'VE business men," he said, want
law which will define our rights
which will tell us what we may and
what we may not do. The federation
bill does not do this"
The best course for Congress to pur-

a competent committee which, during
the recess, shall collect evidence, study
the problem and report it's conclusions
as a basis for constructive legislation.

death was briefly noted in the Journal,
was a man who will he much missed
in this community. The funeral was
held at the Baptist church, Rev. J.
Frank Jones officiating The Windsor
Grange attended in a body, as did afro
the Modern Woodmen. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful. In
accordance with the wishes of the
family there was no music. The in
terment was in Dyer Hill cemetery.
Mr.. Barton's age was 40 years, 6
months and days. He was born in
Windsor-the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Barton, and was next to the
youngest of a family of 10 children.
eight of whom are now living. He has
always lived on the old home farm,
and cared tenderly for his parents in
their declining years. Mr. Barton was
married in 1885 to Miss Hattie Pierce
of Gardiner. and not few happy an
niversaries of this occasion have they
passed TO them We're born two
daughters, and many of LIES choicest
blessings have they together enjoyed.
As husband and father, the deceased
was most devoted as neghbor. he
was KIM ana tnOuRntIul, ana

a worker he was unremitting: as
church member he was prominently
identified with its interests; serving

Jackson, Mich, April 16.-William j.
Bryan, after reading q dispatch from
Washington relative to the probable ac-
ton by Congress on a number Of meas
ures which the President has particu-
larry urged, said:
81 think the President and Congress
are right on some of these questions and
wrong on others. For instance. l think
that Congress was wrong in not reheV-
ing the laboring men from the operation
OF government by injunction and the anti
trust law. I think the President was
wrong in tieing the labor proposition to
the proposition in regard to the trusts.
His plan relating to the trusts was, I
think, in favor of the trusts, rather than
against them. The two propositions ought
to be considered separately and each
upon it's own merits / think Congress is
wrong in opposing the measure to prevent
the watering of stocks, and that the Pres
ident is right in endeavorng to prevent
child labor in the District of Columbia.
I am glad that Congress and the Presi-
dent agreed about the Improvement of
the inland waterways and the quantity
OF compensation to employees injured in
public service. This does not cover the
whole ground. but it is what I mean
when 1 say Congress and the President
are right in Some things and wrong in
Others

TWENTY LEASES ARE
WORKING AT NATIONAL

:. X. Bradford, the well known min

from the camp Of National Tuesday
afternoon, reports that there are about
twenty leases working and developing
property in the new camp.
1.-THE Combination lease said Mr..
Bradford, els now down 125 feet and
the samples taken give excellent re.
turns. They are now stopping for the
high grade and will probably make a
shipment in the near future. They
have made two shipments in the past
and the returns from one went 1890 a
pound, while the other went $50 a
pound. Smelling ore has also been
shipped that gave returns in the viein-
ity of sls5 a ton. The company having
a bond on this property has made a
payment toward buying it and will soon
start extensive development work in
the mine. The extension of the Com
bination lease, which is known as the
Charleston Hill Gold Mining
is running a crosscut tunnel in the
mountain and it is now in about 40
feet. They expect to encounter the
ledge about 100 feet further.
Gan the leases are looking in ex-
%ccllent shape and from the present in
dications the camp has a great future
in front of it. The Auto group has
been taken over by Billy Ogden and
party of Goldfeld men, and a hoist is
now on the way and will be erected as
soon as it arrives. They made a ship
