THE MAKING QF JOBS Popular Methods of Looting the National Treasury COMMISSIONS RANKHIGH If Congress Does Not Authorize Any the President Appoints-Some on His Own Authority Exposition Promoters Work the Business Regularly for Appropriations-Other Matters Dis cussed In the Senate Yesterday Washington, May 31. When the Sen ate, convened today Mr. Clay, from the Committee on Commerce, reported the bill creating Calais, Maine, a snbport of entry, and the bill was ipassed. Mr. Gallinger, from the Committee on Commerce, reported an amendment to the Sundry Civil bill, authorizing a coni- 'mission to investigate trade conditions in the Orient. The amendment is the same offered by (Mr. GaUinger in the Senate Thursday. Mr. BeverWge introduced a rsolution providing for the appointment of a wo man commissioner, from the Daughters of the American R evolution, to be present at the u-nveiwng of the statue of Lifavette iu Paris. In response to an objection that one such appointment had been made, Mr. lieveri-dge saw nar while this was true there were two or ganizations of the Daughters and this resolution was meant to give representa tion to the one not now represented. .Mr. Daniel sougat to secure consider ation of the bill -providing for the pay ment of the Hawaiian debt, but 31 r. Allison objected, sayong he did so in the interest of early adjournment and that there would he time to take up the Hawaiian bill after the passage of the appropriation bills, of which only the SuDdry Civil. General Deficiency and Military Academy hills reniaind to be disposed of. The Sundry Cival Appropriation bill was taken up, and Mr. ialliuer ad dressed the Senate in explanation of his motion to reconsider the vote by which the amendmnt providing an appropria tion $3,000,000 for the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition was passed. In doing so he attacked the Senate rule against incorporating genera legislation on an appropriation bill, comparing it to the fiction of Eli Perkins and tne idealism of Jules Verne. lie then cited numer ous instances of general leglislation in the pending bill contrary to the s rule. As ito the amendment which; he of fered to provide for a commission to In vestigate the trade-and commerce of China aud Japan, and which had been objected to by Mr. Allison, he felt that he had not been, treated fairly. How ever, he said he did not desire to stand in the way of the St. Louis fair proposi tion and therefore withdrew his motion to reconsider the vote by which it was adopted.- Mr. Morgan gave notice that when the bill was report ed from the committee of the whole to the, Senate he would de mand a separate vote upon the proposi tion to vote 43,000,000 to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Mr. Gallinger offered an amendment appropriating $73,tMX to pay the salaries and ex;Knses of a commission of five persons to investigate and report uioa the trade of China, Japan and other countries. Mr. Allison, in charge of the bill, said that as he had been lectured by MrJ Gallinger. he felt it his duty to say that in only two or three instance had new legislation been added to the landing bill. Hy said he would not make a point of ord?r against Mr. Gallinger's amendment, but would reserve the right to make such a point later. Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, protested acninst the creation, of further commis sions and against the making of further J appropriation for expositions, lie de clared that certain promoters made a business of organizing expositions an i using local feeling aroused to work upon Congress for an -appropriation. As soon as tne was over another was started, and thus Congress was under constant and powerful imiortuiiity. He said that throughout the present session of Con gress Senators had leen pursued by people who desired places on this pro posed commission. "I for one, am tired of it!" exclaimed Mr. Piatt. "I think we can get along without this commis sion for at least one year. We ought to proceed with some idea of economy. That may be an old fashioned idea, but I am an old fashioned man." In support of his amendment, Mr. Gai limrer said that the President ofi the United States was the first "promoter" of the commission, having twice recom mended in messages its creation. Mr. IVttigrew expressed the opinion that commission enough had lxeu cre ated bv this Congress. Mr. Gallinger pointed out that no eonmissions had been created by the present Coi.grets. Mr. IVttigrew said commissions "with out number" had been appointed by the President. Instead of appointing com missions, he thought the better way to obtain information . was to get it through the United States consuls. He had no confid3nce irisuclra commission as was proposed and believed "it meant simply tLe furnishing of five good places for as many politicians. Mr. Hale at this point presented a dis agreement on : the Naval Appropriation bill. The points' in -disagreement wer3 the-provisions for armor plate and ocean (iiirvM-8 and the course of instruction at the Naval Academy. The Senate, after some further discussion, agreed to a" fur ther conference and Messrs. Hale, Per kins and Tillman were named as con ferees. ' ''J " The Senate agreed to a conference on the Alaska Civil Cede bill, and Messrs. Shoup. Carter and Bate were "named as conferees. Consideration of the commission amendment being resumed. 31 r. Jones, of Arkansas, made a vigorous attack upon th adminintration of the Pari Exo sition commission by Commissioner TYr dinand W. Peck. Mr. Hale, in reply, said that the greater pait ot" the appropriation had been made for the completion of build ings. The ' Committee on Appropria- tion !elieved the nm was necessary, 8 1 though he personally was inclined to the opinion that the Paris exposition was a bad performance. "Who is tbi person Peck?" inquired Mr. Stewart of Nevada. 1 do not know," teplied Mr. Jones. "Ifhe is a business man." suggested Mr. Stewart, there might be a suspic ion of hi honesty; if not, his reckless t:ess may be attributed to his ignor ance." - "What I complain of," continued Mr. Jones, "is not that the committees of Congress have not acted with due dili gence, but that no detailed statements of the expenditures of public money !iav lieen made. The air has been full of rumors that there have been the most ext.-avagant and unreasonable ex penditures of the fund provided for the American exhibit, and we all know there never ha been any satisfactory report as to how this money was used The. Senate agreed to an amendment to construct a memorial bridge across the Patomac at Wa-4iington. ' It was advocated by Senators Daniel and Mar tin. , The Sundry Civil lill to then passed, ami at 7 ?. m. the Senate ad journed. , 1 WHERE THEY DRAW THE LIN IS Grand Array ITIen Object to Confederate .monuments in National Cemeteries Philadelphia, May 31. During tha ceremonies incident to the decorating ot the graves of the Union and Confederate dead iu the National Cemetery at Ger mantown (suburb) yesterday, it devel oped that in certain Grand Army circles opposition lias appeared to the erection of a momiment to the Confederate dead in that cemetery by the Daughters of, the Confederacy.

Yet, while I have no objection to our brothers in the South raising monuments to their gen erals, as, of course, they havea perfect right to do, I raise my voice in protest against their erecting any monument to any one who fought against the flag in auy national cemetery in the country." Colonel Sample said, after his oration, that he spoke only in a generaT way: that he had not known until he reached Germantown that there was any local feeling on the subject. It then devel oped that Ellis Post had adopted reso lutions protesting against the erection of the monument and laid the matter before the I rand Army Association, composed of posts in this city and vi cinity, which also, adopted resolutions against the proposed memorial. The plan to raise a monument to Con federate dead took shape more than a year ago. Col. W. U. Knauss of Ohio, a 'member of the G. A. It., brought to the attention of the Daughters of the Confederacy that -there' are ia the ceme teries of the North the graves of thou sands of Confederate soldiers, many of them unknown. , -The organisation " toot tip the matter and began to collect funds, -principally for . the 'purpose of Taising monument over the' graves. In this city the Gen. Dabney II. Maury chapter undertook the work and hoped in the beginning to have the monument ready to be unveiled yes terday. Whether the project will be dropped now that opposition to it ha developed remains for the general society of the Daughters of the Confederacy to deter mine. Mrs. nalsey has sent a report of the subject to Mrs. Norman V. Ran dolph of Richmond, who is chairman of the general work. This will 1k forwarded to the -Reunion of Confederate Veteran at Louisville.
