CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-The
house took the first and very i'm
portant step toward putting an end
to the payment of money, either for
salaries or expenses, to members of
any commission, council. board or
similar jury, appointed by the presi-
dent when not specifically author
lied by law so to 10. The prohibi.
ton was in the shape of a sweeping
amendment to the sundry civil APP
preparation hill, offered by Mr.. Taw-
ney of MINI esota, which was adopted
under suspension of the rules.
The feature of discussion of the
sundry civil bill in the house, was a
severe denunciation of the secret
service by Congressman Smith Of
Iowa and Cook of Colorado. both re,
publicans.
Mr.. Smith denounced the treasury
departing IS secret service men as
worthless. and in support of this
the secret service men were called
off, and special agents allowed 10 90
the work alone, and said that in
consequence land frauds involving
millions of dolla,s were unearthed.
The house labored to complete con-
sideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill in the face of good
natured filibuster carried on by the
democrats. During the session, on
point of order by Mr.. Mann OF ILL
nois. the item for a $2,5000o0 building
in Washington for the geological sur
yey and other services We're stricken
out. The paragraph appropriating $l'-
OOO, 600 for the prosecutions OF lana
fraud cases was amended so as to re-
ouire the employment of agents there

by the author, after Mr.. Kay had
asked a reference bill to the judiciary
committee. The committee on labor
had reported the bin favorably. Mn.
Ledvina said the bill was clearly
class legislation. 1t provides that
conspiracy by one class shall not be
deemed such in the case of another
Simon Smith said the labor committee
was unanimous on the measure,
Speaker Bancroft expressed the opin-
ion that it were better that the judi
ciary committee consider the bill
rather than the Legislature enact a
void law He was not familiar with
the bill. but had he been he should
have sent the bill to the judiciary
committee in the first place. Mr..
Brockhausen's own admissions showed
that such law would simply destroy
the political power of the state in la
bor troubles. Mr.. L4edyina declared
that the tenor of the Brock hansen
view was that murder by one man
would not be murder in the case of
another. Mr.. BIockhauseu said that
England had made a law, but Mr..
Ledvina answered thai England has
no constitution. giale here we have

Finally the bill was sent to the judi.
