The Senate approved an agreement

the United States and Canada.
In the House there has been organ
ized open insurrection against the
rules, but in the Senate the opposi-
ton did not 60 beyond some sharp
criticisms by new Senators. The
movement was designed as a warning
TO future sessions. In the House it
will have the immediate effect of tho
establishment of "calendar day"
for the call OF bills on the union cal
endar every Wednesday.
About $4,000 bills were introduced
in the two houses, and $500 resolu-
tions presented.
Facts and Figures.
About 275 Of the public bills will
become laws. There will be about
IT'S private bills enacted. The latter,
however, are estimated to represent
about 5000 private bills introduced,
as many Of the private bills finally
passed were amnibus bills. About
nifty resolutions were finally agreed
to.
Early in the Sixtieth Congress, the
President declared himself in favor
of: A national child labor law; an
EMPLOYERS liability law; anti-injunc-
ton legislation; amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law for good cor
porations and for labor unions; finan-
clal legislation; postal savings bank:
revision of the tariff; waterways
OIL water
rights on navigable streams.
When the Congress ends there will
be no national child labor law, no
postal savings bank. and no addi-
tional regulation of water rights.
However, child labor law was en-
acted for the District of Columbia.
An employers liability law has re-
placed the one declared unconstitu-
tional. A commercial currency law
was enacted and a monetary commits
sion is investigating the subject of
further financial legislation. Active
steps looking to a revision of the
tariff have been taken. All through
the present session the House corn-
clttee on ways and means has been
considering tariff bill to lay before
the special session to convene March
10Th. The waterways commission
has made an investigation looking to
the better regulation of water rights
on navigablc streams.
Some Special Features.
In each session two giant battle
ships were authorized. Aerial navi-
cation, however, was not recognized
In the appropriation bills. The in
crease in the pay of those in the gov
ernment service was another feature
OF the Congress. At the same time
the purse strings Of the Treasury
were losened so that widows of the
men who fought for the nation will
be assured Of pension.
Among the prominent investiga-
tIons authorized were those Of the
brownsville affair, the secret service,
submarine legislation and the paper
industry. The waterways. immigra-
tion, monetary, Brownsville cimmis-
sion were created.

ed during the short sessions, and the
ono ending this week is no exception.
The appropriations for the session
probably will be the largest on re-
cord, exceeding the 00s,OoO, 900 Of
tho first session. AS only one Of the

OF Theodore Roosevelt prominently

because the employees for the taking
OF the next census were not to be
placed under civil service regulations
was another interesting chapter Of
the session. The veto of several dam
bills, because they did not recognize
the principles advanced for the con-
servation Of water powers, attracted
much attention.
An appropriation of $SoO,OOO for
the relief of Italian earthquake suf-
terers was made at the beginning Of

The passage of law for the sup

1t practically is assured that the
monumental Work of revising end

this session. An agreement has been

George Main, Who Beat Up
 Old Rufus French in His
 Bed Tuesday Night, Held for Trial Next Saturday.

George Main. charged with beating old Rufus French at his boarding house, 17o7 Main street, Tuesday night last, was arrested this morning by Pa trolmen Coughlin and Dooley, who went to the boarding house and found their man. Main was released on a bond. He disappeared yesterday when the officers were looking for him. The old man was in court, his face discol- ored and badly cut up. Main accused the old man of stabbing him with his pocket knife.
 Mrs. Kettle Curtis who runs the boarding house, made a statement to Assistant Prosecutor Redden, after which the case was continued till May l. She told practically the same story which appeared in the Farmer last night.
 Robert c. Mallette, French's conser- vator, was present during the inter view and did not seem to have much sympathy for the old man. The son, Walter French, did not appear to take any action in behalf of his father. Main did not seem to be suffering much from the alleged stab wounds.
 The case will be threshed out in court on Saturday

APPEAL FOR. HELP

once more the civilized world is shocked by the news of the Turkish atrocities, in the villages of Adana wholesale massacres and incendiarism have been going on for the last two weeks. New outrsges are reported daily, cry for help is reaching this country from all quarters. In Adana alone 10000 persons are killed, many thousands are left destitute and home less. Orphans and widows everywhere. They are all starving, the Christian sArnenians at the mercy of their Mo- hammedan murderers. Shall we leave them to die of hunger, or as men, as women, as Christians shall we help tehm to live? Yes, let us do all we can to help suffering humanity.
 We have ample means to reach them help. Our missionaries, the American and the English Consuls are there. and as true men they are doing their duty at the risk of their lives. let us stand by them. Churches of all denomina- tions, factories, societies and organ izations of all kinds are humbly re- quested to join hands in this hour of great need, and do their level best to help them.
