notwithstanding the action OF both
houses OF congress in passing a bill
repeating the law fixing the salary Of
the secretary Of State at $4,000 year
the appropriation bill provides a sal
ary Of $4,000 for that official for the
next fiscal years. The provision had
been perfunctorily included In the bill
when drawn up. which was before the
question Of the eligibility Of Mr.. Knox
for the secretaryship arose. and no one
had thought OF changing the figures.
The announcement created mild sen
sation. It was at once suggested that
the bill should be sent back to con.
ference, and a long debate ensued as
to the proper course to be taken.
Mr.. Tawney introduced resolution
authorizing the conferees on the bill
to treat the item appropriating the
$4,000 as the salary Of the secretary
Of state for the next fiscal year as II
the conference report had not been
made and the items was still In dis.
agreement.
The programme Is to have the COM

passed. thus clearing the way for a
further amendment OF the bill in con.
