NOT WORTHY OF THE MEN WHO DESIGN IT
Mr. Oalllnarr Sarcastically liefer, to
Improvement a. I uflt fur a
iecond-C'laaa Lawyer or
Uovlur.
WASHINGTON. Feb. :. The architec
tural change, made In the White House
, wer. a subject of a large share of today'.
dl.cu.slon In the senate and they were
generally criticised as falling fur short of
th. Improvement, which should have been
ecured with the 500.no0 appropriated for
the purpose. The discussion arose with
th. consideration of the bill providing for
the erection of a building for the use of
th. Departments- of State, Justice and
Commerce and Labor. The conclusion was
not reached.
Mr. Oallluger referred to the White
House changes, saying that work had been
In the hands of an architect of great repu
tation. He said that as a result of Ms ef
forts a part of tho executive mansion had
been spoiled and that the office of the presi
dent was an eyesore and not lit to accom
modate a second-class lawyer or doctor.
"Any man walking by the Wliltu House
' and looking at this excrescence," he said,
"could not do otherwise than regret that
the plans had not Isen supplied by some
architect from a country- town In New
Hampshire or Missouri."
Mr. Tillman styled the president's office
as an abortion and the Washington piMt
office an abomination.
Mr. Pryden agreed that the White House
additions are not of seemly appearance.
But," he added. "It must be borne In mind
that architects are often placed at a dis
advantage by the dictation of the employ
err" He did not know who had outlined
th. White House Improvement plans, bit
tie did know that the architects who had
charge of that work had planned some of
the moat beautiful architectural work In
the world.
Mr. Hale expressed the opinion that If
the senate committee had not guarded the
designs of the old building the While
House would have been stripped, dis
mantled, changed, perverted and practically
destroyed.
Mr. Iialley railed attention to the neces

to the senate be constructed like that to
the Whife House, and this suggestion
brought from Mr. Bacon the sarcastic re

to take a risk on the lives of senators than
to duplicate the White House addition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. Some excellent
lands, Including twelve townships of the
Red Lake Indian reservation In north
western Minnesota and a part of the RoHC
bud reservation, about 418,000 acres. In
Gr.-gory county. South Dakota, will be
opened for settlement In a few mouths.
President Roosevelt has conceived the Idea
that It will be to the Interest of the gov
ernment to adopt the plan of disposing of
the land by auctiun und for some time he
has been talking on the subject with sen
ators and representatives In congress who
are Interested in It. Representative Martin
of South Dakota expressed the opinion to
the president that the plan would be unad
vlssble and unwise, lie- thinks the gov
ernment would not receive as much from
the lands at auction as It would If the old
plan of disposing of them at a fixed price
were adopted.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Durlng consid
eration of the District of Columbia appro
priation bill In the house today Mr. Scott
(Kan.) made the declaration that a negro
had dined at the White House with Presi
dent Cleveland during the latter', first ad
ministration. The statement was prompted
by a reference by Mr. Gilbert (Ky.) to the
dining of Booker T. Washington at the
White House. When the name was de
manded Mr. Scott said It was C. H. T. Tay
lor, who was appointed by President Cleve
land as recorder of deed, for the District
of Columbia.
Mr. Gilbert observed that he and others
never had heard of the Incident, hut (he
democrats were not "particularly claiming"
Mr. Cleveland, and Mr. Cochran (Mo.) said
it was but cumulative evidence that there
is no better republican in the country than
Grover Cleveland.
Mr. Scott in contrasting Booker Wash
ington with Taylor said the formor was a
man of recognized ability, while he declared
there was nothing to commend the latter.
A discussion of the question of reciprocity
by Mr. Dalcell (Pa.) und Mr. Williams (the
minority leader) consumed the greater por
tion of the day. Another feature of the
duy was the declaration by Mr. I.overlug
(Mass! that whl'e the republican party
was talking "standing pat" thousands of
dollars were being lost to manufacturers
und "cur boasted proeperlty Is fast coining
to an end" be a use of the failure of the
party to enlarge the drawback system and
Kite the new markets which he declared
were now demoralized.
Mr. I,uvering was loudly applauded on
the minority aide when he took issue with
the parly.
Mr. Gilbert said that in the PpaniFh war
there was General Miles, commanding gen
eral of the army; Admiral Dewey, at Ma
nila; Admiral Schley, Generals I.ee,
Wheeler and Bell, all of whom were demo
crats. On the other bide, he said, there
was a member of the republican cabinet
accused of sending embalmed beef to the
soldiers.
"Then." he said, "there was a republican
horse doctor sent to Cuba who waa ac
cused of befriending the gimblers ai d law
breakers." He allud, d to General Funst "in,
who, he charged, bad violated the rule of
civilized warfare In wealing the uniform

find after exhaustive research, a sing.,
argument which would juntlfy the negotia
tions of a reciprocity treaty between the
I'nited States and Canada. He was fre
quently applauded on the republican ad.
of the house.
Mr. Williams (.Vftas.), responding to Mr.
Dalzell, asked the majority why they did
not pass the Kasson treaties, which, he
said, represented Mckinley reciprocity.
Mr. levering said that millions of dol

thousands of laborer, had been deprived of

manded, he declared, could be secured by
a simple amendment to th. drawback fea
ture of the administrative act of the
Dingley law, and this could be done, he
said, without Interfering with a single

He differed, he said, from Mr. Dalzell in
the matter of a demand for new markets
for goods of American manufacture. He
urged the south to Increase the output of
cotton and .aid immigration was needed
greatly In the south. These thing., he
said, would aid materially In solving th.

he had concluded. The house adjourned
