tursl Appropriations.

Washington. Feb. :. - While the
house was considering the agricultur
al appropriation bill today there was
a sharp exchange of words between
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa and Mr.. Living
ston of Georgia. two of the Oldest
members OF the house II arose in
connection with a colloquy over a
minor amendment between Mr.. liv.
ingston and Mr. Scott Of Kansas.
which was carried on in such low
tone of voice that Mr. Hepburn pro.
tested that he could not hear and that
both We're out OF order. He laid down
the parliamentary rule requiring mem.
bers TO address the chair
Il am very much obliged to the
gentleman" replied Mr.. Livingston.
but be certainly is getting in his
dotage."
The chair admonishcd the mem.
bcrs that they must observe the rules
of debate and address the chair.
Smarting under Mr. Livingston's
characterization, Mr. Hepburn again
got the floor
The gentleman from Georgia I'm his
amiab.lity has suggested that / am in
my dotage," he said. yet his evidence
Of that was that | could not hear his
wanderings. But the moment the
chair addressed the house in loud
tones the gentleman at once said, I
cannot hear submit the question
of dotage 10 the membership"
Although plainly vcxed at first Mr..
Hepburn smiled as he sat down. the
house in the meantime conyulsed
with laughter.
The bureau of plant industry was
given raking over by Mr.. Mann who
charged that the money appropriated
for testing paper making plants had
been wasted. "An the information
obtained he said, was already
known, they had to learn something
themselves. They knew very little
about the subject"
Mr.. Cole, Ohio. made n strong plea
for an appropriation Of s2O.OOo for
experiments in the manufacture of
paper from cornstalks. and offered an
amendment which, however was
withdrawn after notice of point Of
order against It by Mr.. Scott who
said 1t had been fully demonstrated
that paper could be manufactured
from cornstalks.
Despite Mr.. Scottc protests the
chair overruled the point of order
against the amendment of Mr.. Mann
of Illinois appropriating $4,000 for
the testing of such plants as may re-
quire tests to ascertain ic they are
suitable for making paper Incidental.
ly he said that while it had been
demonstrated that paper could GeI
made from cornstalks the proposition
was chimerical and not a commercial
possibility
Mr.. Mann next directed a sho; a.
Secretary Wilson. lie admitted, he
said, that the secretary was a very
able man, but when It came to the
subject of paper making what he
does not know about it would fiil
many volumes and what he does
know would occupy very little space"
BY way OF a substitute. which was /
agreeable TO Mr. Mann. Mr. Davis, of /
Minnesota, offered an amendment ap-

THE TWO CENT BATE.

An informal conference took place
Wednesday between the state corpora.
ton commission and the officials of the
Richmond Washington line on the sub
ject of passenger rate 70, that line.
1t seems that the order entered two
years ago putting into effect the two
cent rate on the two roads composing
this line 10 Washington is subject TO
motion for rehesring. The proposition
which was discussed Wednesday was
to allow the line to maintain its pres
eut bssing rate for through travel in
consideration Of its putting into effect
round-tsip tickets at Two cents per mile,
good for seven days, between all poiats
on the line, including Washington. such
tickets between points both of which
are within Virginia when used only one
way to be redeemable on the basis of q
charge to the passenger Of q cents per
mile for the distance travelled, and also
maintaining the present interchangeable
twO-cent mileage book in operation over
the 20 900 miles OF road south Of the
Potomac add Ohio rivers east Of the
Mississippi.
1t appears that the practical opera
ton Of this proposition, If put into
effect, will be t. give to the vast msjor-
ity of people travelling between Rich.
mood aud Washington or other stations
on the rOsd and returning in seven days
a two.cent rate, and to the remaining
small number of Virginia passengers
going only one way p cent rate when
using q POUND trip ticket only one way,
aod said rate of a 2! cents being the same
which has been ordered for all the
other roads In Virginia BY the COM
mission.
Under the present rates straight
onesay ticket from Richmond to WASH
iugtou direct is SO so; for round trip
ticket between Richmond and Wash
ing,on is So. Under the proposed plan
the round trip ticket bstWeen Richmond
and Washington would be 81 65, saying
35 cents on the round trip.
The Richmond. Washington line Of
fcsls pointed out that this system
wOald protect the roads bssing rate and at
the same time save money for the public
as 95 per cent: Of the Virgins people
who travel between stations on the line,
including Richmond aud Washington,
the two extremes, make round trips and
use round trip tickets. II Richmond
