Washington, Jah. 31.-The finest scene of the Sixty-first Congress- was the final grapple in the House today between San Francisco and New Or leans. The galleries were packed to the last row before the House filled and there was scarcely an absentee out of the 391 who answered on the rolls. Even that bland and blaze gallery, that holds the press, was without a vacant seat. The afr chafed with eagerness and tense ex- pectations, while your Uncle Jos eph G. Cannon, feeling in finest fet- tie and shifting no battle of his own, fairly rioted in good humor and flash ed his witticisms at every tongue that delayed the order of the day.
 At 1 o'clock the clerk rapped for order and two minute speeches by a score of congressman began, which continued until o'clock. When the result was announced wild cheering broke out in the galleries and on the floor.
 Tomorrow, according to the prear- engagement, Governor Saunders, of Louisiana, will make his speech for New Orleans before the Senate Con- mittee on Propositions. In the even- ing he will confer with members of the Exposition Board and while there is no promise made or forecast of ac- tio1 it is believed that decisive &C., tion by the House today will be talk en as an indication os the people, $ will and that the losing southern city's people will reach out with out stretched arms and try to make the Panama Exposition at San Francisco the greatest of the century.
 Tonight both San F,ranciscans and New Orleans folks were together at their headquarters making merry ov- CT today's results. The Senate will vote Wednesday.

BRYAN AND BAILEY
 IN JOINT DEBATE

Austin, Tex, Jan. 31.--The fact that both Bryan and Bailey have ac- cepted invitations to address the Tex as legislature, but will not fix a date caused suggestion from some of the strong anti-Bailey representatives this morning that both bye urged to meet in joint debate. It is very like ly that a resolution to that effect will be introduced very shortly in the House, and it will more than likely develop considerable discussion as il is known that Bryan and Bailey are not overly friendly with one another
 The Prohibitionists will, according to reports seek to embrace in the resolution that both speakers be re- quested to express themselves upon the Prohibition question.

Is it Constitutional For the State to Aid in Govern
 ment of Work?
MANY FAVOR MEASURE
Stimulates Agrieulture-Senate Jug. gling Bill When It AdjOurn-
 ed Tuesday. ,a.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 3t.-Is it constitutional for the state to make appropriations, or authorize the coun- ties to make appropriations for the purpose of assisting the general gov ernment in carrying bn the farm de monstration work in the various countless? That is the qestion which grave constitutional lawyers and some protesting little knowledge of the law, argued at considerable length in the Senate Tuesday afternoon without arriving at any definite de- cision. The bill comes from the House and authorizes quorum courts to make appropriations for carrying on the work of the farm demonstra- tors
 Senator White opposed 1t. Senator Rodgers, of Howard, declared it a vio- lation of the constitution for a coun- ty to make such appropriations Sem ator Watson declared that it was not in conflict with the constitution, and that it would help the farmers who are the foundation of prosperity Sen- ator Clerget spoke for it. Senator Covington declared that in his opin- ion the proposed levy would be con- stitutional, and Senator Rodgers, of Benton, speaking for the bill, declar- ed that he was gratified to see the senator from Johnson for once come over on the Lords side. He said il would stimulate agriculture and would help every farmer one-hundred l fold. Senator Friedell said he thought the principle all right, but he must oppose the bill in it's present condi. tion. Senator Turner spoke for il and cited the fact that farmer living on the poorest part of Crowley :: Ridge had raised 100 bushels of cor to the acre under scientific direction whereas the average for the state is " IA bushels. Another farmer whc had been raising a quarter of a bale of cotton, raised a bale and half un- der the demonstrators direction. Sen ator Keel made strong fight against it. and the Senate was discussing his motion to postpone further considera- tion until the Fourth of July when the body adjourned.

heavy export tax on potash after Ger many had received the benefit of the American tariff. In brief Germany says the imposition of the tax was a question of internal policy, the ob- ject being to conserve the natural resources of the country and not to permit the export of potash in unne- cessarily large quantities It is an- nounced that there will be further exchanges between the two countries, thus showing that the German is in- conclusive and in some degree unsat- isfactory to the United States.

 The visit of John Arnold, brother of Miss Arnold, with another yelled wo- man on January 1&s gave the clerks at the hotel more cause for specula- ton. The veiled< woman in this visit was apparently older than the one who made the former call. The call upon Griscom this time was a stormy bne.

 Conflicts With Law AL ready on Books.
HE ASKED OPINION

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 31.-Gover- nor Donaghey today transmitted to the General Assembly a special message in which he vetoed a bill authorizing the Stuttgart special school district to borrow money, and in which he gave the legislators pointer to the effect that such legislation is unne- ,eessary because it is already covered by a general act, and in which he fur ther hints that the less special legis- lation there is introduced the better such legislation may fare when the bills reach him for Consideration. His message is as follows:
 >, The Veto Message.
 MT. Speaker: I herewith return to your honorable body without my ap- proual House Bill No. 32, entitled An act to authorize the Stuttgart Special School District No. P, of Stuttgart Arkansas county. Arkansas, to borrow money and mortgage the property ol the district to secure the same. In the consideration of this bill there might be mulch said concerning the practice of enacting special laws. but ] will omit any discussion of that nature and come at once to a concrete fact with reference to the particular instance at issu,e.srss ssssssz7se-F '-sssss''-f'
 "On the 27th inst, after this bill had been presented to me l called up a representative of one of the leading loan companies of the state and asked him if in his opinion it was necessary for special law to. be enacted to en- able the special school district com- posing the town of Stuttgart to bor- row money submit herewith his an- swer:
 Replying to your inquiry of this morning as TO whether or not it is ne- cessary for special act to enable ths Stuttgart special school district to borrow money I have looked into this matter and do not think it at all ne- cessary
 Special Act Unnecessary.
 In 1905 an act was passed al- tnorizing the Stuttgart district to bor- row an amount not exceeding 6,000 ana shortly after that the general 4"t enabling all special school districts 70 borrow money and mortgage thelr
 property to secure same was passed ma It has been held that that act SUD-
 rseded all previous special acts. So l
 not see that anything could be ac-
 ompllshed by this special act.'
