"WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The Senate to
day heard further discussion on the Ques
tion of appointments to office made during
Congressional recesses, listened to a
speech on the Isthmian canal question by.
Mr. Morgan, and passed a number of bill
of a semi-public character.
As a result of the debate on the ap
pointment question, a resolution asking
for specific information concerning the
nomination of W. D. Crum, as Collector
of Customs at the Port of Charleston, S.
C was passed. A resolution asking for
clmilar information concerning the nom
ination of Brigadier-General Wood and
other Army officers went over until to
morrow. "When the Senate met, Culberson intro
duced a resolution drawn by a committee
appointed at a recent Democratic con
ference, for the purpose of getting addi
tional Information concerning the Panama
situation. The members of the committee

If the Democrats would consent to an
amendment providing that tho President
shall send the Information "it not mcom-

Crum Apportionment Called Up
Tillman called up his resolution, asking
the Judiciary committee to report what
constitutes a recess of the Senate. Halo
argued that tho December nomination of
Collector Crum was not a new appoint
ment, and the Controller of the Currency
would meet the question of the right to
draw salary when the matter came be
fore him. He said the original nomination
shows that the President has not com
mitted himself to any contractive recess
between the extraordinary session and the
present session of the Senate. Mitchell
interposed that the nominations sent in
do not give the nominees (meaning Col
lector Crum. General Wood and others)
the right to hold office.
Tillman read a letter from Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw, reciting the various
appointments of Mr. Crum to the Charles
ton, S. C Collectorshlp, and giving the
Tension that tho last appointment was
made precisely at 12 o'clock noon, on the
first Monday In December, when one ses
sion ended and another began.
Halo said the matter was not of special
significance, and the question is not a
new one, and that Mr. Crum i3 still serv
ing on his appointment
Tillman said that Mr. Crum is holding
office just the same, and added: "I no
tice, too, that Mr. Leonard Wood Is send
ing out dispatches from the Philippines,
singing hmiself Major-General, and he is
not a Major-General."
Continuing, he said his resolution was
under conslderatldn, and not the nomina
tion of Crum or Wood.
Tillman then presented a resolution,
which was agreed to without debate, re
questing of the Secretary of the Treasury
information regarding the four appoint
ments of W. D. Crum to he Collector of
Customs at the Port of Charleston. S. C.
More Clerks or Shorter Hours.
Stewart's resolution calling for an In
quiry concerning the number of clerks
that would be necessary for the executive
department In order to prevent the length
ening of the hours of work, at the request
of Stewart, was rcierrea to tne com'
mlttee on appropriations.
Cockrell suggested tartly that there
should be more work and less clerks,
rather than more clerks and less work.
Tinman also presented the following res
olution, but on objection by Warren, It
went over:
"Resolved. That tho Secretary of War
he, and he hereby Is Instructed to send to
the Senate Information in the nature of
answers to the following questions:
"What officers of the Army were ap
pointed during the recess of the Senate
occurring between March 19, 1903, to No
vember 9. 1903? Were the commissions Is
sued to these officers, and if so of what
character? What officers failed of con
firmation during the special session begin
r.Ing November 9 and ending December 7,
1903? Have these officers been reappoint
ed, and have commissions been issued to
them? If so, what is the character of the
commission, and what authority of law is
thero for its being issued T"
Bills Passed.
The Senate then passed the following
tills:
Authorizing the erection of a statue of
Commodore John D. Sloat at Monterey.
Cal. j
ivuinonzing me erecuon oi a monument
to the memory of John Paul Jones.
Authorizing the payment of claims in

Morgan Talks on Panama.
Morgan then addressed the Senate on his
resolution Instructing: the President to
pntpr into negotiations with the govern
ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica look
ing to the construction of a canal via the
Nicaragua route, .tie contenaea xnat me
protocols with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
negotiated by President McKlnley were
binding on the United States. The pledge
then given, was, he said, a sacred thing
and to violate it would not only be con
tempt for McKinley's memory but for
Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The agree
ments could not be obliterated, he said,
by closing our eyes to them, but on the
contrary they would live to reproach us if
we permitted the President to violate
them.
Morgan declared the President had will
fully violated the Soooner act requiring
him to turn to the Nicaragua route in
case of failure to secure desirable conces
sions for the Panama route. He safd the
President could not Justify the evasion of
the law by an attempt to show he had ob
served "the essence of the law."
Morgan closed with an appeal to the
Senate not to aid the President "In his
open and wayward violation of the law
and the pledges made to Nicaragua and
Costa Rica."
The Senate, at 5:02. went Into executive
session, and at 5:03 P. M. adjourned.
MONEY FOR THE ARMY.
House Passes Bill Carrying Approxi
mately $75,000,000.
.WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The House
today passed the Army appropriation
bill, carrying approximately 575,000,000.
after adopting a number of amendments.
The provision for the consolidation of
the Adjutant-General's department and
the Record and Pension Office of the
War Department Into one bureau, to be
known as the Military Secretary's Of
fice, was stricken from the bill on a point
of order raised by Grosvenor (O.).
The Item of $400,000 for the construe- j
tlon of an Army general hospital at
Washington also went out on a point
of order, as did the paragraph providing
for the construction of a submarine cable
from Sitka to Fort Lis cum.
" A resolution calling on the Secretary of
State for Information as to the number
of carriages maintained by the Govern
ment for the State Department was
adopted. Adams (Pa.) reported the reso
lution. Hitchcock (Dem., Neb.) sought to
amend the resolution so as to make it
read "during the calendar year," saying
the omission of these words would leave
a loophole, but Adams demanded the pre
vious question, and on this Hitchcock
called for yeas and nays,' which were
ordered.
The previous question was ordered by a
vote of 125 to 100, when the resolution
was adopted. The House then resumed
consideration of the Army appropriation
bill in committee of the whole.
Pay of Retired Officers.
On motion of Hepburn (la.), the para
graph providing for the pay of retired
officers of the Army was amended so as
to provide that no part of the money
appropriated under the act shall be ex
pended In payments to any retired Army
officer who received payment for serv
ices as clerk or other civil employment
In any of the departments of the Gov
ernment. An amendment by Park (N. J.) .was
adopted, giving a contract surgeon In
charge of a hospital the same authority
as a commissioned medical officer.- Slay
den (Dem., Tex.) made an unsuccessful
effort to eliminate from the bill an ap
propriation of 595,148 for the maintenance
of the two battalions constituting the
provisional regiment of Infantry.
Troops in Philippines.
Patterson (Dem., Tenn.), In making In
quiries of Hull concerning tbe-paragraph
providing for barracks in the Philip
pines, asked:
"Does the gentleman think there al
ways will oo a necessity tor troops in
the Philippines, and for these expenses
to go on?"
I should think," Hull replied, "that
the time never will come when the
United States would not have troops In
the Philippines any more than the time
had come when we have not had troops
In the State of New Tork and the State
of Illinois."
The proviso fixing the limit of the cost
of construction of any hospital at $50,000
went out on a point of order raised by
Hemenway (Ind.), the present legal limit
being $20,000.
The paragraphs appropriating $400,000
for an Army general hospital in the
District of Columbia, and creating a
fund from the sale of ordnance and ord
nance stores, and making It available
for replacing such stores, went out on
points of order as new legislation, and a
like fate met the provision for the con
solidation of the adjutant-general's de
partment and the Records and Pension
Office of the War Department Into a bu
reau to be known as the Military Secre
tary's Office.
Hull announced that he would offer this
last proposition as a departmental meas
ure. The Army appropriation then, as
amended in committee of the whole, was
passed.
At 4:05 P. M., the House adjourned un
til tomorrow.
HEYBURN SAVES HIM
Woolley rs Reappointed As
sayer at Boise Mint
CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE
Roosevelt Goes Over the Case With
Senator and Secretary Shaw and
Concludes the Charges Are
Due to Political Bias.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. On recom
mendation of Senator Heyburn, of Idaho,
the President today appointed H. Smith
Woolley. an ex-bishop of the Mormon
Church, to be Assayer of the Mint at
Boise City. Idaho. The discussion or
Woolley's appointment caused consider
able political gossip. At a conference at
the White House today, to which the
President, Secretary Shaw and Senator
Heyburn were parties, the matter was
settled.
Charges were made against Woolley by
two Boise editors. They were Investigat
ed by a committee from the Treasury De
partment. The committee's findings were
placed before the President. No recom
mendations were made by the committee,
but it is said the charges were practical
ly sustained.
Semi-official announcement was made
that. Woolley would not be reappointed,
but, after careful consideration of the
matter, the President decided to make the
appointment, and so Informed Senator
Heyburn today. The President held that
It seemed evident the charges made
against Woolley were due to political bias.
ROOT WILL HONOR TAFT.
Secretary of War to Tender His Suc
cessor a Reception.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. Preparations
are making at the War Department for
the transfer of the Secretary's office from
Secretary Root to Secretary Taft. The
new Secretary will arrive Wednesday
afternoon. Secretary Root has Issued
cards for a large reception Friday even
ing In honor of his successor. The Thurs
day evening preceding, Senator Alger will
give a reception In honor of the retiring
Secretary, at which Governor Taft will
be present. ,
The fact has developed that Secretary
Root himself originally selected Governor
Taft for the Important post of Governor
of the Philippines, and the reasons for
the choice are Interesting. Mr. Vanderbllt
had purchased abroad the big steam
yacht Conqueror, and when the vessel
came to Ijfew York the customs collector
sought to ' impose a heavy duty on her
as an imported article. Mr. Vanderbllt
retained Mr. Root to defend the case. The
present Secretary and Mr. Taft, then Solicitor-General,
met in the legal arena
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, where Mr. Root won his case. The
argument made by the Solicitor-General,
however, excited his admiration, and
when Secretary Root cast about for the
best man for the delicate and difficult
post of Governor or tne rnnippines, ne
chose Mr. Taft.
As showing the tendency of his opinion.
It Is said one of the first acts of the new
Governor on taking his place at Manila
was to incorporate in the new navigation
laws for the Island a provision used by
the nrecedinjr Spanish government based
on the very prihclple In the contention
for which he had been aeieatea oy sec
retary Root. The latter Is also tenacious,
for he immediately struck" the proposed
law out of the Philippine code.
Secretary Moody tonight gave a fare
well dinner at the Metropolitan Club to
Secretary Root. Those invited to meet
the Secretary were: Assistant becretary
Oliver. Assistant Secretary Darling, Sen
ators Allison, Spooner, Hale, Dodge, Proc
tor and Foraker: Representatives Foss,
Grosvenor. Dalzell. Hull and Sibley; Ad
miral Dewey. Rear-Admirais Taylor, nig-
trlnson. Kenney: LJeutenant-General
Chaffee, General Bates and Paul Morton.
ROOT STILL FIGHTS SHIP BILL.
Does Not Want to Put Nation at the
Mercy of Shipowners.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Secretary Root
has addressed a letter to Senator Frye,
president pro tem of the Senate, ex
pressing his views further on the pend
ing legislation to require all Govern
ment freights for the Philippines to be
carried In American bottoms. The Sec
retary says that he Is willing, In the ef
fort to protect American ships, to go to
a reasonable extent, even 6o far as giv
ing such ships 100 per cent premium on
Philippine business, but he does not ap
prove of a proposition to tie the Govern
ment absolutely in the manner proposed,
and suggests the Government should
be permitted to suspend the operation of
the proposed act when tenders for trans
portatlon in United States vessels can
not be secured at reasonable rates.

"At 7:30 o'clock, the time when the
whistles blew, and when everyone Is sup
posed to be at work In the mine, I had
