A number of amendments were offered to the bill, but only two were adopt- ed, one by Mr. Shafroth of Colorado, re- ducing the salary of the librarian to $5,000, and one by Mr. McCormick of New York, Providing ‘‘That all persons employed in the said Library of Congress shall be ap- pointed solely with reference to their fit- ness for the particular duty, and without reference to their political or party affili: tions, and shall be removed for cause only. With these amendments the appropria- tions committee's provisions were adopted by the House. Mr. Cummings’ Remarks, In the course of the debate yesterday afternoon Mr. Cummings of New York, a member of the joint committee on the li- brary, said: “Why is it that the committee on appro- priations is so anxious to run the library in the same way that it has been run in years past? I noticed that when the gen- tueman from New York (Mr. Quigg) was making his masterly argument the other day on behalf of the bill reported from the joint committee all the members of what you gentlemen on the other side call the ‘hog combine’ were on their feet deviling him and asking him questions. (Laughter.) The combine was there in full feather. One big chief said that if the proposition of the joint committee was passed by the House he wanted to be put on the committee on the library immediately. (Laughter.) “Now, gentlemen, I did not vote in com- mittee to sustain the substitute which the gentleman from New York (Mr. Quigg) has proposed here. That substitute was not his substitute; it was the substitute of the committee. The gentleman (Mr. Quigg) and myself supported an entirely different prop- osition. It was a proposition that these appointments should be made by the joint committee on the library, upon the recom- Parlor Grand Upright Piano Finished. in a doubled veneered mahogany case, grand action, exquisite tone, repeating touch and hardsome carved penels.

I cannot go past a second-hand book store without stopping to look at the books, and usually I buy one. “My work on the committee was con- scientious work and a work of love. I was personally interested in the condition of the government library. The confusion there is something almost indescribable, but it is not the fault of the librarian.’ No better man ever had charge of a library, but Mr. Spofford, like the joint committee on the library, is subject to pressure that the com- mittee on appropriations places upon them. “Now, I challenge the truth of that state- ment,” ‘said Mr. Cannon. “Read Mr. Spofford’s testimony and you will not challenge it,” replied Mr. Cum- mings. Hampercd by Insufficient Appropria- tions. Then Mr. Cummings cofitinued as follows: “The librarian has been hampered by an insufticlency of appropriations, and that insufficiency, and not the librarian, is re- sponsible for the condition of the Congres- sional Library. Spofford has done mag- nificently, hampered as he has been. I caa go to kim today and get any book or doc- ument in a surprisingly short time. Five years ago there was a discussion on the floor of this House over the sinking of the Tallapoosa. A statement made by me was challenged. In seven minutes I had sent here by Mr. Spofford the files cf three New York papers bearing date of the accident and confirming my statement. But, gentle- men, Mr. Spofford is not going to live for. ever. He says he has no shelf catalogue, because ne never could get un appropria- tion for a shelf catalogue. He has a card catalogue, and that is all he ean produce, with scant appropriations. “Now, I call the attention of my friend from Pennsylvania (Mr. Bingham), in charge of this bill, to a matter under dis- cussion. His bill reads: ‘Copyright depart- ment—For the following under the direction of the librarian of Congress, necessary for the execution of the copyright law, name- ly?" ‘Mr. Spofford told the joint committee that he had repeatedly asked to be relieved from the control of this copyright business. It interfered with his duties as librarian. He urged the joint committee in drawing up its bill to see to it that the librarian was relieved from all copyright duties. You gentlemen of the appropriations committee examined him. He could not tell you thing different from what he told yet we find here that you have again bur- dened him with the copyright load. “Now, in my judgment, a library large as the Library of Congress certainly ought to have some head besides the librarian and the committee on appropriations. If there is a more proper head, if there is a more suitable body, than the joint committee on the library to act as board of trustees for that institution, I would like to see them. What is the joint committee on the libary? Why is it that the committee on appropria- tions, after absorbing at one time the du- ties of nearly every other committee in this House, now come forward with a proposi tion which practically makes that commit- tee the committee gn the library? For, if the librarian makes the appointments, the committee-on appropriations make the ap- propriations, and don’t you forget it!” (Laughter.) “They always do,” said Mr. Bingham. “Of course they do, and today one Sena- tor—a member of the committee on appro- priations—has, it is said, seventeen appoint- ments in the librar: “I suppose he has been here thirty years,” suggested Mr. Bingham. “And my friend from Illinois (Mr. Can- non), as he tells us, has one. I am glad of it. That is more than I have, although I have been on the committee on the li- brary for six years,” seid Mr. Cummings. “It has been stated that I had fourteen, but I do not think the gentleman's com- mittee circulated that report,” ‘said Mr. Cannon. Mr. Cannon Opposes the Substitate. Mr. Canron then took the floor to talk about Mr. Quigg’s substitute. He said: “Under the gentleman's substitute the Ubrarian of is to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. It is for the House to determine whether in that respect the gentleman's substitute is better than the law us it now stands, under which the Ubrarian is appointed by the President sole- ly—without reference to the advice and consent of the Senate. In my judgment the best way is to let the law in that re- Bpect stand as it is. “Under the scheme embraced in the leg- islative bill the officers appropriated for in this new library-are to be appointed by the librarian of Congress, with dve to their capacity for the work.

I believe that, as a general propost- tion, appointments must under the Consti- tution be made by the President, by the courts, or by the heads of departments That is in substance the language of the Corstitution. I do not think that Congress has eny right to devolve this duty upon the House and the Senate; and I think tuat when our fathers auopted such a provision as a part of the Constitution they acted wisely, because it is not best it never has been found best in the history of govern- merts—to invest in the legislative power the administrative function. Hence, any such mingling of authority has been ex- pressly prohibited by the Constitution. know there was an eminent gentleman who once served in this House who said he did not know what the Constitution had to do “between friends.’ But after all there is the provision of the Constitution by which we are governed. “I think T can demonsi in a few moments that we temp: respect to the House ught not to at- to violate the Constitution in this From nec: the House n t and from ne int its own em- fact?

Chairman Duncan, from the committee on-law, recommended an amendment re- wiring that copies of all resolutions of a general character or proposed amendments to the constitution be sent to the ecretary two weeks in advance for consideration by the general officers and the officers of the different trades unions, and that no such resolutions or amendments can first be offered in the convention, except by a con- sent of two-thirds of the delegates. After a long discussion the report was agreed to and the resolution adopted The law committee reported favorably on the defense fund resolution, which in- creases the dues to fifty cents per capita per month. It was adopted. The action of the former convention was reaffirmed requiring all unions to affiliate with their central organizations or their national federal unions. A general discussion occurred on a reso- lution to change the representation in the convention so as to exclude local represen- tation, and have delegates only from cer tral and general organizations. ‘The following resolutions were adopted: For a department of labor, with another cabine* officer at its head. For the better inspection of navy yards and arsenals, This was aimed at the Car- negie steel works and others. It was offer- ed by the Machinists’ Union in indersing the Otey resoluticn peading in Congress, Providing for union labels on stogies as well as on cigars.

The retrial of the case of Julio Sanguily, the American citizen, sent down on an ap- peal from the supreme court at Madrid, on a charge of treason and conspiracy, began at 1 o'clock in Havana, Cuba, yesterday. As Sanguily arrived in court at that time, escorted by eight gendarmes, and looking healthy and in good spirits, the trial opened with the reading by Chief Clerk Oddardo of the prosecutor's petition that the defendant should be sentenced to im- prisonment for life, and to pay half the ex- penses of the trial. Public Prosecutor Enjuto then ordered the evidence for the prosecution, consisting of letters signed by Gen. Jose Azcugo, offering the defendant a nomination as a colonel in the rebel army, also a verbatim statement of the witnesses and the expert testimony taken in the former Sanguily trial. Mr. Sanguily’s attorney, Antonio Mesa, entered a protest against the trial as in- fringing the protocol of the treaty between Spain and the United States, which makes necessary and requisite « jury composed of six persons. He also claimed that other formalities had been omitted, contrary to articles 20 and 21 of the law of Aoril 1821. He refused to accept the jury, and claimed that the law of January 12, 18% was deficient in not having been duly re- corded. Senor Mesa’s protest on the ground of the law not having been recorded will form the basis of a new appeal to the supreme court = Madrid, which will probably be success- ful. The following questions were put to San- gully by the public prosecutor, which he answered as indicated: “Senor Sanguily, were you in the ten years’ war?” “Were you granted a pardon under the proclamation of amnesty?” “No; 1 went abroad.” ‘The defendant declared he was ignorant how the papers alleged to be his came to be found on the estate of Ignacio Portela. He denied that he had any political rela- tions with Lopez Coloma. ‘The experts in handwriting testified that the alleged letters from Sanguily had, they considered, been signed by him, the hand- His Against the j@riting being similar. Sanguily denied signing the letter which he had previo recognized as his before the judge. sid Experts affirm that the signature to this letter is Sanguily’ The judge then ordered Chief Clerk Od- dardo to read Topez Coloma’s statement * made at the former trial. Coloma has- since been executed.
