Conclusion of Yesterday’s Proosedings, SENATE.—After our report closed— A bill authorizing the building of a narrow gauge railroad to the Black Hills was passed. After an executive session the Senate ad- journed. The Debate he District Govern- mt Bi the House. HOUSE.—After our report closed— The House having proceeded at two p.m. yesterday té the consideration ef the bill to provide a form of government forthe Distric of Columbia a (NY " ir. Townsend (N.Y.) opposed that portion of the bill which required a Property ‘adslifica tion for office, and also that which required a ten years’ residence for the Commissioners. He approved of that portion, however, which required the general government to pay one half of the expenses of the District. The United States must help to pay the debt which Was necessarily contracted in the great im provements Which had been made. Washing: ton had the handsomest streets of any eity in the would. We could not go back to the fin when Pennsylvania avenue was paved with cobble-stones, and when the old canal ran through the city, carrying death and destruc tion in its wake. He believed the country could endure this debt, for it was only a nomi. nalone. Mr. Jones said it looked to him as though this bill was to be rushed through the House without that deliberation and care which it should command. The District wanted ty get rid of its debt, and those who held that debt wanted to be paid, so that both parties were ready to accept almost any bill. There were many features of the bill to which he objecte He objected, for example, to that part whicii prescribed that Congress should elect two of the Commission He denied the power of Congress to do that which was a purely ad ministrative act. The right to legislate does not include the right to make an appoiutment, or to designate the officer who shall go this District. To create an office is a legisla. tive function. To make an appointment to fill that office is an administrative function. the bill was then read by sections for amend- ment. Mr. Lathrop moved to amefid the first sec- tion, describing the limits of the District, by adding the words “including the river Poto- mac in its course through the District and the islands therein.” Mr. Huntoy said there was no necessity for that, besides it might interfere wiih the set Uement of the boundary recently made by Maryland and Vi ‘The section as it was in the bill agreed upon by Representa sof Maryland and Virginia, and it was framed as it Was soas not to affeet the settle ment referred to. The amendment was rejected. Mr. Brentano moved to amend the second section by striking out the clause in relation to the election of ‘two of the Commissioners, and vesting the appointment of all thre the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. He objected to this section only as to the mode of appointment, and that mode, he thought, was all wrong, be cause it deprived the President of one of his prerogatives. Mr. Blackburn regretted that this sugges- tion came froma member of the committee. He had hoped that the committee would be a unit. To adopt the prop sed amendment woul be to destroy the whole framework of the bil The mendment was rejected. An amendment was adopted designating | the third Monday in June as the time when the Commissioners shajl be elected or ap- pointed, Mr. Finley moved to amend by striking out the clause requiring the President to appo' an officer Of the engineer corps of the army as one of the Commissioners, and providing for the appointment of a competent skilled engi: neer [rom civil life, who should serve for three years. The amendment was rejected. On motion of Mr. Hendee an amendment was adopted requiring thatthe Commissioners to be elected shall hold property each in his own right to the amount of $5,000. Mr. Maish offered an amendment requiring that the engineer Commissioner should be selected from the retired list of the army. Rejected. Mr. Davis (Cal.) moved to strike out the words which require that the engineer shall be above the lineal rank of captain, so as to per- mit the President to select any officer. Mr. Blackburn said that while Mr. Bren- tano’s amendment would have affected the whole framework of the bill, this of Mr. Davis’ would tend to defeat the bill itself. It seemed to him that this amendment was intended for the benefit of one officer. If you strike out the rank, as proposed in the bill, you practically indicate to the President that he shall appoint Lieut. Hoxie. You place him in the position where he must either appoint Hexie or, by ad to Sepoint him, cast an imputation upon him as being unworthy. By electing an officer above the rank of captain you get an officer of age and experience. By throwiag the office open you may get a boy of twenty- three or twenty-four tawid of age as a Com- missioner for this District. Mr, Clark (lowa) moved to strike out the rank entirely, and to provide that one com- missioner should be an engineer appointed by the President. The amendments of Mr. Clark and Mr. Da- vis were both rejected. Mr. Blackburn, on behalf of the committee, offered an amendment, which was adopted, reducing the amount which the Commission: ers may borrow, in anticipation of collection of revenue, from $500,000 to $200,000. Mr. Claflin offered an amendment provid- ing that all voters for councilmen shall have been registered before voting. Adopted. Mr. Reagan offered on amendment to strike out the provision that the United States shall bear 50 per cent. of the expenses of the Dis- trict, and to make the proportion of the gene- ral government 40 per cent. Mr. Reagan thought 50 per cent. was excessive. Mr. Eden approved of the amendment. It was not fair to charge the government with 50 per cent. of the expenses of the District, The Reople of the United States should not be taxed for one-half of the expenses of the Dis. trict for the support of schools and for repair of streets, &c., in this District. Mr. Hunton said that the question of the division of the expenses between this District and the general government has been a sub- ject of di ssion for thirty years; and, with one exception, all reports agteed that 50 per cent. would be a fair and proper proportion. This bill embraces subjects which impose new and increased burdens on the peo le of this District, and it was only fair that this one-half should be borne by the United States. When this location was selected as the site of the capital it was a wilderness, and no one ever imagined that the people of the District should bear all the expense. It was never contem pistes that this people should build a capital for this great nation. Look at the streets here—their great width. Look at the pairks and reservations, in allof which the United States still holds its title. The government owns one-half of the property in the District, and it pays no taxes. The fairest way, there- fore, is to make each pay one-half. Mr. Reagan wanted to know on what author- ity the peo said the government owned one-half the property, Mr. Hunton said he made it on the authority of the last assessment. Mr. Reagan’s amendment was rejected. Mr. Eden moved to strike out the proviso which limits the rate of taxation to $1.50 on every $100. He was opposed to this low rate of taxation. His constituents had to pay much more. If this limitation was kept up there would not be enough revenue rai for the District to pav the interest on its debt. It was not surprising that the District could net keep up its schools at this rate. amendment was rejected. Mr. Eden then moved to strike out the eighth section, which authorizes the pa} it of the interest on the 3.65 bonds bie 'reasurer of the United States. The effect of the section was to make Sabena ‘manent appropriation for this purpose i of an annual one. The aoe been to make annual ap; = ‘ions to pay the interest on these donds. made it permanent, and made the United States government nsible for it ior at : E i i 5 i guaranteed the on the ir. government was read} was no necessity for in ‘the ‘House, reported Ae Wale mee ‘Committee, which | this will not again occur till 1943. | are spending a very happy honeym cha:ged up against the expenses ef cS Mr. Randall said this was a great question, and it should be considered separately and by itself, as proposed in the Ways and Means Committee's bi} Mr. Blackburn said none would than he would to y that the t aloft th ® further ernment 65 bonds. y ma government responsible for the prompt paymen( of the interest, and the District Commissioners mast see that’ pro- vision is made for its payment out of the taxes.

Itis from the standpoint that the government is not responsible that he advocated this see- tion, for it gives the Federal Treasury a credit for tvery dollar of t erest paid. Mr. Hai ‘aid that to set this question at offer a proviso, t end of the section. as follows: P nothing herein contained shall ever be so com- strued as to commit the government to the Pagment of the principa of these bonds.” r. dail inquired whether this sectiom eo 8 bot make the government liable for the e lor all time, just as the means committee's bills did. se wars an Mr. Blackburn had not particularly examia- ed the ways and means bill. But he denied it this section made the United States jable, Mr. Randall said this made the United States always responsible. Mr. Blackburn said no more so than it was responsible now. Mr. Randall wanted this section rejected, se as to make the District make an effort to pay the interest Mr. Hanna's amendment was then agreed mad The question then recurred upon Mr. Eden's motion to strike out the whole section, and ‘e ordered ption was made for nding the roll ea a recess.” This was resisted by the friends of the bill, _Mr. Burchard moved that the farther eo siderat of the bill be i until this morning, immediately a ling of the journal, Which was agr TRaGic ResvLt OF 4 GiRi’s ELorewent WITH A NEGRO.—A special to the St. Li Globe-Democrat from Houston, Texas, st that three yea farmer named M: uire, iker county, and head of a very respectable family, hired ‘a young negre man named Walker Dening to work on hit farm.
