Constitution Silent.

Mr.. Rose has pointed out that there
is nothing in the Constitution of the
United States which provides when the
term of President, a senator of a
member Of the House begins or termi-
mates. law enacted March /, 1902,
provides that the terms of the Presi-
dent and Vice President shall COM
mence on the 4th day of March next
succeeding the day on which the votes
OF the electors shall have been given.
and this is the only provision in the
statutes fixing the beginning or end
ing of the presidential term.
The statutes are silent, as we'll as the
Constitution, in regard to the begin
| ming or ending of the terms of senators
and representatives. But for many
years it has been held that the terms
of members of Congress, and the Con-
gress itself, do not expire until noon
OF March 4. Contention has been made
| from time to time in one house or the
other of Congress that the term of
Congress expires at midnight March ,,
| but such contention has never pre-
vailed.
| In regard to the approval of bills by
the President on March 4, Mr.. Rose
pointed out in his pamphlet that on
| March 4. 1911. four important appro-
priation bills. the post Office. the naval,
| the sundry civil and the general de-
fciency. were finally disposed of by
Congress and were signed by President

by President Taft as of that date also
| Roosevelt Timed Bills.
President Roosevelt. at the end of
the firty-ninth Congress, approved sew
eral acts as Of the date March 4, 1907,
but in each instance he wrote upon the
parchment the hour at which the bills
were signed showing them to have
been signed before noon of March A..
At the close Of the Sixtieth Congress.
number of bills of the date of
March 1, 1909.
The legality of the signatures of
President Taft and President Roosevelt
have never been questioned. and 1t is
not believed by members of Congress
that the legality of the approval given
bills last March by President Wilson
will be questioned either.

Senators Believe Laws, if
Questioned, Would Be
Decreed Legal.
CONSTITUTION SILENT
ON END OF TERMS
Nothing Said Of Date Senators or
Representatives Cease to
Hold Office.

The suggestion that the legality of
the laws approved by President Wilson
March last might be questioned be-
by the President as of the date of
March 4. or because of the fact that
the Senate took an adjournment for
ten minutes from 1856 until Hos am.
March 4, was not taken seriously by
some of the senators still remaining in
Washington today. They pointed out
that many important laws have been
approved by the President March 4.
just before the final adjournment of
Congress, in recent years. And they
also pointed out that similar ad-
journment of the Senate has been taken
after expiration of March 3, and that
the Senate proceeded to meet again on
March T. The courts. they contended,
would be very apt to consider long
established custom in the matter of
legislative procedure should the valid
ity of any of the laws approved March
4 last be called into question.
discussion relating to these matters
was written by Henry NJ. Rose. assist
ant secretary of the Senate, in 1911.
In this discussion Mr.. Rose pointed
out that at the close of the Sixty-fi
Congress. in March 1911, the Senate for
the first time used the Legislative day
of March 4. AT that time Senator
Hale of Maine made a motion that
when the Senate adjourned March it
was to meet again at S o'clock the morn
ing of March =. This was adopted, and
the Senate then sat until 1850 am.
o'clock.

Overlordship.

PEKING, China, March 22.-Conferences
regarding the demands made by Japan
upon China will be continued at the jap

AT several recent sessions. it is report
ed. the representatives of Japan have
argued that Japanese immigration into
Mongolia and Manchuria should not be
subject to Chinese laws. This proposal
is said to have been persistently opposed.
Chinese Are Warned.
Some fear is expressed here both by
foreigners and Chinese that the arrival of
additional Japanese troops in Atanchuria
and Shantung province may cause fric-
tion, but the Chinese have been warned
by the central government to conduct
themselves discreetly.
According to Chinese reports 600 jap
anese troops with eight field guns have
arrived as Tsinan. while other detach-
ments have been stationed a points along
the Shantung railway. Six thousand
more soldiers are said to have reached

my splendid reception In Washington
and the warm marks of consideration
and friendship that l have received in
New York. Please, my esteemed di-
rector and friend, express to the many
persons whose hands 1 have been proud
