OLD AGE PENSION ORDER CONSIDERED Mr. Pattereoa Iatrodares BUI "tw Aaseaid Expiring Chinese Treaty, -Whlpk He t lalma t hlaeae Have Denounced. WASHINGTON. ApAl l.-Qood Friday was devoted by the senate to almost con tinuous discussion of polltlcn questions. The time until I o'clock was devoted tn consideration of the Curmack resolution proposing an inquiry Into the legality of the recent executive old-nge pension order. Mr. Mallory was the principal speaker, but he was frequently Intel rupted by repub lican senators. He contended that Secre tary Hitchcock had transcended the limits of executive authority In Issuing the order. The latter half of the day was devoted to the postofflce appropriation bill, but no ppreclable progress waa made with that measure, the speeches on It being In the main political and of general character. There was a spirited debate between Mr. Simmons and Mr. Beverldge on the ques tion of the propriety of a congressional In vestigation into the affairs of the Postofflce department. Mr. Patterson ii troduccd a bill for the amendment of the Chinese exclusion net of 1802, giving notice that on Wednesday next he would address the senate on the bill. In giving this notice he taid he had received what he considered definite in formation that the Chinese government hnd denounced tha treaty between that govern ment and the United States and that the treaty would expire December 7 next, l.'n- lesa the law be amended C'hlnose can come Into the United States after that time with out obstruction. Take I'p I'oatofllce Bill. At t o'clock the postofflce bill was taken up, but before consideration couia oe pro ceeded with Mr. Perkins presented a partial conference report on thj fortifications ap propriations bill. He stated that atv agree ment hnd bcen reached or. nil the Items of difference except those relating to the submarine boat und to n elevated gun arrlnge, both of which nvittcrs were still in dispute. Mr. Simmons admitted that there are now factional differences In the deinociatio party, but aald they would be ealed, a-id the party would give the c mntry a ' candi date who would be sober and of a Judicial temperament." A r.umbor of republican tenators 1o- manded the name of I he candidate, i.nd tome suggested ' Porker," but Mr. Simmon declared that he would 'not show his hand." Mr. Bever!dge replied, thanVlns Mr. Snn- mona for the warning that tha republican party must fight lor Its ilfe In the next campaign. He then eulogliod t'resiaent Roosevelt's leadership, saying that It had been so wise and so patriotic as not only to command the united support of hla own party In the senate, but nlso to force a division on the democratlo aide, of the chamber. Mf. Simmons Our candidate will be such man as will Insure ths support of the large element of your party who will be afraid to support your candidate. M. Beverldge Thep. give us his name. Is It Judge rarkerT Mr. Simmons That Is a secret. "Well, Is it Mr. Hearst?" again asked Mr. aeveridge. "It would be Improper to reply, said Mr. Simmons. Then." remarked Mr. Beverldge, "ac cording to the senator from North Carolina, Judge Parker Is a secret and Mr. Hearst Is Improper." Mr. Beverldge predicted great Clfflcuity on the part of the democrats In sgreeing both on candidates and on Issues. The ro- publlcan party was more fortunately situ ated. That party would be ante to preaem not only a formidable array of tssuea, but a leader who would pre oat tbem worthily. The senate at 6:18 adjourned. SUXDRY CIVI1, BIL.U PAS8BI HOUSE. Several Ameadments Ooeaaloa Vlgos- odi Debate Before Klnal Aetloa. WASHINGTON. April l.-Th houe to day passed the sundry civil appropriation bill without division. Th report of th conferees on th army appropriation bill then wss taken up. Th house disagreed to the senate amendment Increasing the number of quartermaatera' grants from 160. as provided in th hous bill, to SO. Both Mr. Hay (dem.. Vs.) and Mr. Wil liams dem., Miss) opposed sny increaa In tho army. The latter declared that th government was starving home develop ment every day by devoting money to aom 40,000 more soldiers than were neeoea ti did not believe in putting 100,000 man on a war footing. Soma discussion waa precipitated over th senate amendment providing certain In crease In th signal corps, but on roll call the amendments wr agreed to, 114 to 95. . Herat amendments Increasing th num ber of clerk of the $1,100 and (1,000 omss at headquarters of divisions and departments snd In the offle of th chief of staff were disagreed to. Mr. Hull moved that the hous Insist on its disagreement to tha amendment of th senat providing for a consolidation of th adjutant general's office and th record and pension officio and raising Brigadier Gen eral F. C. Alnaworth, chief of th latter, to th rank of major ganaral and putting him In charg aa military secretary. Mr. Parker declared "that beoaus you know a man and think him a good fellow In charg of a bureau It Is no reason why you should make Mm a major ganaral." By viva too vote th house disagreed to this amendment. Th senat amendment to retire officers below tha grade of brigadier general and who served In th civil wsr, at th rank and pay of th next higher rank oc casioned much debate. Mr. Hull offered an amendment eliminating th claus oui no officer shall b entitled to th benefits of this provision who received any sd vsncement of grade at th time of re tirement or with a view to retirement."

' If the Mississippi idea spreads, the elec tion "spellbinder," who haa always given s bsckground of picturesque gayety .o our campaigns, is in danger of becoming ex tinct. The hired canvasser, parader and shooter will find his occupation gone. Th "Mississippi idea" regarding the hired campaign manager, agent or orator Is that he be suppressed by statutory law. Th Idea Is to bar from the political arena very performer with whom the work for a candidate or candidates is not "a labor of love." A bll't which waa pressed upon the attention of the Mississippi legislature at Its recent session, and which waa fathered by many advocates of elect). n reform, pro posed to make it a misdemeanor for any candidate to employ political agents, or for sny stump orator, party manager or other political worker to accept pay from a candidate or camralgn committee for his services In s campaign.
