line in France were made again
yesterday by the allies, but the
reports of successes in today's

not borne out by the Berlin COM
munication. The French war Of
fee states that German positions
along the Aisne were demolished,
that in the Woevre district line
of trenches 500 yards long was
captured and that further prog
ress was made in the Argonne
and in Elsace. The German an
nouncement says that nothing Of
importance has occurred in the
west, with the exception of few
French attacks along the Meuse
and in the Vosges, which were
repulsed easily.
There have been no important
changes in the east, according to
the German statement. Dis
patches from Petrograd, however,
assert that the Russians have
definitely thrown back the Ger
man column which was attempt
ing to strike at Warsaw from the
north and that as a result the
position of the Russians all along
their front has been improved.

johnson of Kentucky. author of the
amendirent. and Minority Leader Mann
proposed provision to tear down the
principle under which the nations cap
ital has grown in beauty and impor-
tance i'll the last third of a century.
While the roll call did not disclose a
strict party division. the bulk of the
1877 votes in favor of the amendment
came from the democratic side. A few
democrats voted against it, and a re-
publican voted for it.
Several of the strongest friends of
the district did not vote, as they are
members of the funeral escort which
took the body of the lite Representa-
tive Payne to Auburn, N. Y. Among
these is Representative Cooper of Wis

Representative Underwood, who had
expressed himself in favor of a COM
mission of this kind, did not vote.
The bill now goes to the Senate, car
rying a total appropriation of $11,310,-
04S. The only change made in the
amount under the various items was
the addition of $4,000 to the lump sum
for the public utilities commission.
