CONGRESSIONAL.

The feature Of the Senate yesterday
was remarkable speech by Senator
Lorimer, OF Illinois, in defense OF his
right to retain his seat in the Senate
1t was personal recital OF the circum-
stances which led many democrats to
vote for him, and possessed much OF
human interest to the most remarkable
audience that has listened to senator 8
speech in many days. Galleries were
crowed to orerhowing, senator's were
practically all in their seats, and
probably fifty members OF the House
came over and remained during the
entire speech. Mr.. Lorimer began
speaking at 1:30 end did not conclude
until about $50.
The new treaty with Japan was
favorably reported to the Senate and
was discussed in secret session for an
hour and half, and then went over
until today.
Senator Beverage gave notice that
he would continue his speech in opposi-
ton to Lorimer. There will be other
speeches on the subject, which may de.
lay the vote.
The Senate finance committee con-
tinued its hearings in the morning on
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
A. c. Hasting, of Niagara Falls. anc
Representative SWasey, OF Maine, rep
resenting the paper and pulp mills
opposed the agreement, and declared
that it would be destructive to The
paper industry in the United States
John Norris, Of New York spoke fol
the publishers, and declared that I'M
less the Canadian reciprocity legislation
was passed the publishers OF the coun
try would be at the mercy OF a merci
less monopoly in the production o
print paper. The hearing will he con
timed today.
The House of Representatives i:
rapidly clearing its calendar, 30 that nc
responsibility for what now appears tc
be an inevitable extra session can be
charged to the lower branch-of Con.
gress, Yesterday three big appropria
ton bills, carrying in the aggregate
S139, 100000. were passed. OF these
the naval act carried 1925, 400, 900; the
Notifications bill, S5,300,000 aud the
diplomatic and consular bill about
81, 100, 900.
The House now has only three mora
supply bills to pass-the sundry civil
the general deficiency, and the Military
Academy. The latter probably will
not occupy more than few hours, Sc
the chances are that the House will be
marking time when March 4 arrives.
Representative Parson, OF New York
delivered q speech in favor of the abro
CATION of the S.. Petersburg treaty o.
1882, on the ground that Russia, in
violation of treaty stipulations, con
tinued to discriminate against Ameri.
cans OF the Jewish faith.

proposition rather severely. Fitzgerald
forced Henry c. Emery, chairman OF
the board to admit that the suggeS-
ton that two year appropriation be
made came direct from the president.
The president asked ME if thought
we could get along on $400,0O for
two years and I told him I thought
we could, declared Emery after
Fitzgerald had cornered him in a
rather bitter cross. examination. After
heated colloquy Fitzgerald an
nounced.
Aids to weary statesmen to the
amount of s404 1870 are contem-
plated by the sundry civil bill reported
to the House today. When the heavy
humid days OF the Washington sum-
mer settle down over the Capitol the
members OF the House, who hitherto
have sweltered in the poorly ventilated
chamber, will cool their heated brows
in refrigerated breezes. The sundry
civil bill, carries an appropriation OF
$50, 100 to place refrigerating appa-
ratus all about the hall, and to reirig-
crate all OF the incoming air. $3.50, 600
is appropriated for reconstructing the
hall itself, under the already completed
scheme, which contemplates the PLAID
ing OF benches, instead of desks in the
House, in order to increase the capac-
ity and cut down the AGRA OF the ball.
In order to lessen the physical labor
OF the legislators, and conserve their
mental resources, an electric car
system is to be installed in the subway
between the capitol and the House
Office Building. For this purpose the
bill appropriates sc, 2S7.20 Such n
system is already operated between
the Senate Wing of the capitol and
the Senate Office building. An appro-
priation OF $500, 900 for increase OF
the Capitol grounds is also included
in the measure. The public building
appropriations included in the bill are
now new items. They provide for
continuing the work on buildings

The education committee of the Lon.


The education committee OF the Lon
don county council presented report
at a meeting Of that body yesterday
containing a revised list Of books for
the school-lending libraries. Among
the bucks struck off the list by the
committee were biographies Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin and
George Washington aud the book
From Log Cabin to White House.
Asked to explain the reason for this
elimination, John Dennisen Pender,
of the committee, said that the books
we're regarded as Objectionable on ac-
count Of their extreme lack Of refine
rueut and also because they were writ
ten in American and extremely vulgar
American at that" The report was
referred back to the committee. Many
histories OF English worthless are noted
for coarseness, and the committee re-
ferred to above might add some of
shem to their index purgatorus.
