The Pres ident today returned, to the Senate without his signature the resolution fixing- the boundary line between Col orado and New Mexico with a mes sage giving as his reason a report of the Attorney-General to the effect that the bill made material changes In the line, shifting Ave postoftices from one Jurisdiction to another. As soon as the message was read Mr. Teller declared that no Important changes were made, as the line had been established In 1861 and followed the 67th parallel very closely. The changes in location, he said, did not extend one-quarter or one-half of a mile from the location generally rec ognixed. "1 do not think." said Teller, "that anybody who knew anything about the subjert could have Informed the Pres ident." The effect of tho bill, he said, was merely to determine where the line actually was. In conformity with previ ous action, neither Congress nor the state of Colorado would have a right to change it without consulting the other. Long, chairman of the committee on census, today reported to the Senate the House bill providing for noncom petitive examinations. to be held throughout the country by means of the civil service machinery, but based on a form of examination to be pre scribed by .Director North, of the cen sus bureau, ami confined to persons designated by Senators and .Repre sentatives. Members of the Civil Service Com mission contended for the use of their classified lists, but the committee in Its report followed the lines laid down In the bill passed by the House. There are about 3000 places to be filled, and the bill will prescribe that preference shall be given to persons who partici pated in previous censuses. The posi tions will continue about three years. It Is expected that the bill will be taken up immediately after the holiday recess. The Senate committee adopted a new section providing for the pur chase of the property now used as quarters of the census bureau, and an abandoned school building adjoining, at a limited cost of J430.000. Provi sion Is also made for the construction of new buildings not to exceed $250,000 in cost Committee on Inauguration. WASHINGTON. Dec. 19. Senators Lodge, Knox and Bacon were today named by the Senate to represent that body on the joint Congressional com mittee on the Inaugural ceremonies.

Call Due to Sew Rector's Expressed Desire to Enter "Work In West, Made to ex-Sclioolmate Here. ALBANY, N.- T., Dec 19. Dean Henry Bussell Talbot, of All Saints' Cathedral, has accepted a call to St. David's Episcopal Church at Port land, Or. Dean Talbot, of the Albany, N. Y.. cathedral, who has accepted the call to the rectorship of St. David's Episco pal Church, East Twelfth and Belmont streets, to succeed Rev. George B. Van Waters, D. D., who recently resigned, is known to most of the Portland Episcopal clergymen as a strong and able man. His coming to Portland is considered by Bishop Charles Scaddlng as a great gain not only to Portland, but to the state. Dr. S- E. Joseph!, member" of the vestry of St. David's Church, said last night: "Dean Talbot's call was due to Dr. George S. Whiteside, 'an old school mate and friend, to whom the dean had written some time ago stating that he would like to enter the work in the West. Dr. Whiteside, recalling that the rectorship of St. David's Church was vacant, called my. attention to Dean Talbot. The matter was brought be fore the vestrymen with .the result that a call was extended him. which he accepted. He has resigned from the Albany Cathedral, his resignation to take effect January 1, 1909, and he will come to Portland by February to enter on his work. We consider the selection a happy and fortunate one as Dean Talbot is recommended by Bishop Scaddlng, Dr. A. A. Morrison and other Portland clergymen who have met him in conventions as an able man. Dr. Whiteside has known him for over IS years. Some years ago when Bishop Brent was appointed as missionary bishop to the Philippine Islands at his request Dean Talbot was appointed as his assistant, with the title of chap lain, and was with him there for sev eral years, afterwards returning to the United States on account of poor health and entered on his work at the Albany cathedral. His zeal for his chosen work may be gathered from tho fact that he leaves a larger salary to take up his duties at St. David's Church. He is 36 years old, unmarried, and a man of vigor, and we are pleased that we have been able to secure him." Dr. Whiteside, who was a student with Dean Talbot at Harvard and has known him for 18 years, is out of the city, but it was on his recommenda tion first that the name of the new rector was considered. Eight-Hour Day for British Miners. LONDON. Dec 19. The bUl providing for an eight-hour day in coal mines, which by amendment became actually a measure for a day of nine hours, was finally adopted by the House of Lords this morning. It goes into effect July 1. 1S09. The bill originally contemplated eiKht hours from surface to surface, but it opponents eliminated the time oc cupied In descending and ascending from the workings and calculated half an hour for each. The result is that eight full hours rtinst be spent in actual labor be low ground. Kstabllahed 18U6. DR. E.M.
