This, ip view of the fact that the majority of the commiftee is Inlmical to the bill, is re- garded as a vietory for the friends of the | Joeasgre. .The committee Includes Gilbert Wnd Nelson of ‘Dofiglas, both of wiom, with Bweezy of Adams, were in favor of recom- mending the bill for passage, but three other members of the committee were pres- ent and they were unfriendly to the bill. The outcome, therefore, was a compromiss in favor of H. R. 330. In all probability the house claime com- mittoe will recommend the payment of the beet sugar claims of $48,000.

A communication was read before the house and senate today from the Minne- sota legislature stating that body had ap- propriated $5,000 for the sufferers of Scan- dinavia. Efforts have been made to secure simllar appropriations from other states baving large populations from Norway and Sweden. The house has already placed itselt on record in favor of electing United States senators by the direct vote of the people end the semate ls expected to follow suit. The resolution 18 concurrent and was intro- duced by Weborg of Thurston in the house. Ten Eyck of Douglas, the intcoducer of H. R. 330, is agthority for the assuring statement that all the Douglas county mém- bers ‘will vote for this measure. Mr. Ten Eyck is unwble, however, to offer a similar voucher 89 far as fighting for the bill is concerned. Apparently it would require a dense polftician from Douglas county to il'to vote for this measure. It does not appear, however, that all the members from Douglas are sufficiently interested in the passage of the bill to get out in the open and fight for it. Just merely voting for the measure, it is perfectly evident, will not pass it. Outside of two Douglas mien it does not appear that the delegation s at all exercised over this earnest appeal from home, which is in eminent danger of 1s.#imply burled In work and the prespects for resurrection are anything but bright..

PHILIPPINE CURRENCY BILL 1S PASSED Statehood Being Cleared from Decks, Members Set Make Headway Blocked Legisl e Down in Earnest te with WASHINGTON, Feb. 2%.—The senate to- day made .rapld progress. The . statehood | riders to the agricultural and postoffice ap- propriation bills were withdrawn and both bills_passed. The house amendments to the Philippine currency bill were agreed to with but slight discusaion and the bill sent to the president. The sundry civil bill was nearly comploted. A large nlimber of pen- sion bills was also passed. In (he coutse of the day Civil Service Lommissioner Foulke was severely oriti- clsed on account of & letter written by him to Mr. Spoomer (Wis.) regarding the . dis- missal of an employe of the surveyor gen- gral's office, Idaho, who had been charged with recelving campalgn contributions. The discussion arose over a resolution by Mr. Dubois . (Idaho), calling for information in the case. The senate met at 11. Immediately Mr. Quay. (Pa.) asked for unanimous consent for a vote on the statehood bill today. Mr. Kean (N, J.) objected. A bill to incorporate the American Na- tlonal institute in Paris oxcited some dis- cussion, . its object is to permit the accept- ance of a tract of land from France and the reception of a number of, art gifts from that country. Mr. T:llman (§. C.) objected and the bill went. aver, ldaho Office Under Fire. A resolution introduced by Mr. Dubols calllng on the Clvil Service commission for information regarding the dismiesal of El- mer B. Foreshay, an employe of the sur- veyor general's office of that state, was lald before the senate. Mr. Spooner sent to the desk and had read a letter from Commissioner Foulke of the Civil Service commission, criticising certain statements made by Mr. Dubofs anid giving some reasons for Foreshay's removal. Mr. Dubols expressed his surprise at the presentation of such a letter. Mr. Bacon (Ga.) questioned the propriety of the matter being brought to notice by Mr. Foulke. It was an act of supreme effrontery and an indignity to the senate for such a letter to be written while the resolution was pending. Mr. Teller (Cold.) said it was an unheard of performance and a gross breach of the privilege of the senate. Mr. Spooner (Wis.) sald he could see mo eftrontery in the matter. If there was any eftrontery he thought he was personally chargeable with it, but he thought it proper to have read a statement df the facts. Cer- tainly !f he had read the letter he might mot have presented it, Mr. Bacop. thought it should be with- drawn and not appear in the record. There- upon Mr. Spooner sald he would read the letter and it he concluded there any- thing in it discourteous to the senate he would withdraw ft. A An amendment to the resolution. was agreed to, calling for the evidence in res g8rd to the conduot of the eurveyor gen- gral's office of Idaho, by Mr. Peraul., and %s amended the resolution was dgreed to. The agrioultural appropriation bill was then taken up., Mr. Proctor (VL) withdrew the statehood gmendment. An amendment appropriating 4225,000 to stamp_ out the foot and ‘moutk disease was agreed to. The bill then was passed. The postoice appropriation taken up Mr, Mason (Ill) withdrew the statehood rider. An amendment by Mr. McComas provid- ing for the payment of tolls on toll roads focurred by rural free delivery carriers was agreed to. After some discussion the bill was passed. Propose Fortune for Q y Consideration of the sundry civil was then begun Mr. Spooner inquired if the appropriation 0f:$200,000-to ex-Queen Lilioukalani was an honorary one. Mr. Allison (Ia.) sald it was founded on a claim, pretended or real, to what are known as the crown lands in Hawali, of which she had been deprived, Mr. Morgan (Ala.) thought the matter should go over, but Mr. Hoar (Mass.) said at first he had a strong feeling agalnst the ex-queen on account of newspaper articles, but since he had learned that the lands re- ferred: to, fairly might be claimed to be her privat¢ property and not mere crown lands. Thelr proceeds always had been used for her private support. He said the ex-queen had fried 17 reconcile her people to the rule of the United States and was a woman of great personal worth. He hoped the appropriation would be made, be- cause” it was his desire to atone for a piblic utterance of disrespect toward her. r.

It was a ques- tion that addressed itself to the consclences of senators. By consent the matter went over wntil tomorrow. An amendment appropriating $65,000 was adopted to pay commissionérs # nekotiate the differences between the United States and Great Britain with respect to Canada. An amend- ment from the committee on finance also was agreed to appropriating $100,000 for the expenses of .an international commission to fix the parity of gold and silver.

Yesterday, when the majority of elections committee num- ber two reported in favor of unseating Mr. Butler of Missour!, the democratic leaders, at the request of the democrats of the M sour! delegation, served motice on the re- publicans that if an attempt was made to act on the report they would do everything in their power to block the wheels of leg- islation until March 4. No reply was given, but & truce was patched up during the aft. ernoon, on the understanding that a re- sponse would be given this afternoon. Shortly before adjournment today Speaker Henderson notified Mr. Richardson, the mi- nority leader, that the case would be called up tomorrow. Thereupon the call for the democratic caucus was {ssued. The demo- crats are organizing for a fight to a fnish. While their action probably will not jeop- ardize any of the appropriation bills, it they stick to their program of demanding a foll call pn every proposition, and insisting on the presence of a quorum, they can greatly embarrass the majority, and de- teat minor matters which otherwise would (r———— EDUCATORS: ELECT OFFICERS Papers ‘Are Read on Variows Topien and Discussed by the Dele- saten. ¢ A da® CINCINNATI,.
