FROM THE BUREAU Of
PUBLICITY NATIONAL
RIVERS AND HORRORS

w a hington, Feb .26-(SpeciaD
Not within the recollection of the
oldest congressional inhabitant has
a regular session of the Senate done
SO little executive businnss as the
present one, since last December.
There has been lot to do, but the
near approach of the change from one
party's administration to that Of an
other, appears to have operated to
cause locking Of party horns on
executive session transactions in
which neither side, in the tugging,
appears to have gained an inch.
The tie-upis mainly because Of nom
nations coming from the White
House which the Democrats have
taken care to assume were inoluca-
ted partisan design to take advan-
tage some way or another OF their
incoming administration. There are
within very few Of 1000 nominal
tons now piled up on the desks of
the executive clerks in the office
of the Secretary Of the Senate,
awaiting action by the Senate.
About three-ffths of these are post
masters, the others being army and
navy officers promotions and the
rest miscellaneous.
There have been only seven con-
firmations since December 9th. That
was of Carmi Thompson, of Ohio,
former Secretary to President Taft,
as Treasurer of the United States.
Five army officers had their nomlna-
tions confirmed. The other nomina-
ton to be confirmed was the only
of the many hundreds of postmasters
to get through-John H. Brown, at
Concord, N. H., the home of Sen
ator Callinger, president pro telnpore
of the Sena.e. Six minor nomlna-
tions have been withdrawn. There
not the slightest indication
of looseing of the tie-up.
The political tangle has peculiarly
victimized one the Democrats here
and there whose names have appea-
red in the long list of nominations.
1t is the case of Christian S. Pearce,
of Tennessee, who has been tor
nearly twenty years, are efficient
chief in the office of the Treasurer
and whose service and experience
came to be so valued by Secretary
Mac Veagh that he recommended
Mr.. PearCe Tor prOmOtloll, ana aCCoi-
dinghy President Taft nomlnat ed
him as early as Defender 3rd to
Assistant Treasurer. His nomination
is held up along with the rest, and
with the inevitable result, that he
will lose all place in the Treasury |
as sacrifice, as it
were, on the altar of party expedlency |
His only recourse is to have his
friends persuade President-elect
Wilson to restore him to place with
out delay.

Sentiments expressed in the
Senate debate the past week on the
Connecticut River dam bill Indicated
that the principal involved, that OF
the limitation of federal control over
the utilization of water power IN
navigahle streams, is OF the utmost
importance to the industrial future OF
the country along the line otits
largest development. President
Taft has vetoed the Coosa River
Dam bill, holding the power was too
valuable to grant without compensa-
ton to the government, and the
Connecticut River sbill carried a
provision in harmony with the
position of both the President and
the Secretary of War, as to federal
control. The opposition maintained
that the waters of all streams.
navigable or other wise, belonged T.
the states, and the federal govern
ment could not impose a tax on
what did not belong to it. The
federal tax provision in the bill was
stricken from it by non-partisan
vote of So to 29, and the bill was
shorn of all federal control, except
in so far as conformed it to the
Governments rights over the
preservation of navigation by final
vote Of ~ to IL.
