Summary of Important Proceeding!
Enacted From Pay to Day.
Senate.
The Ananias Club was discussed in
UJO Senate Thursday by Senator Till
man, who declared that statements
made by Attorney General Bonaparte
and Postmaster General Meyer in re
ply to his reply to charges made
against him by the President in rela
tion to his contemplated purchase of
Oregon timber lands made them eli
gible to membership in that organisa
tion. 110 again defonded his action
and said in fighting the -"unscrupu
lous ii.cn" who are determined "to
destroy" him be was "prepared for
anything, even assassination."
The legislative, executive and ju
dicial appropriation bill was report
ed to the Senate by Senator Cullom
from the committee on appropria
tions. The bill includes provisions
for the increasing of the ssiaries of
the President to SIOO,OOO annually
inclusive of traveling expenses; of
th* Vice President to $20,000 snd of
the Speaker of the House to $20,000
Provision is madfe also for increases
in the salaries of Federal judges as
follows: Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court; $ IS,000; associate justices,
$17,500; circuit judges, $10,000; dis
trict judges $9,000; chief justice of
the Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia, $10,000; chief justiee
and associate judge of the Supreme
Ceurt of the District of Columbia,
$fl,000; chief justice of the Court of
Claims, $7,500; associate judges of
the Court of Claims $7,000. The pro
vision of tbe bill increasing the sal
ary of' Federal judges also inehules
a readjustment of the salaries of oth
er court officials.
By a vote of 37 to 27 the Senate
fixed the salary of the Speaker of the
House of Representatives at $15,000,
instead of $12,000 as at present and
instead of $20,090 as proposed by the
committee on appropriations.
A vigorous speech against any in
crease was made by Senator Bailey
and numerous addresses were made
in support of the proposition.
Senator Rayner Monday endeavor
ed U> have the Senate adopt a resolu
tion calling on the Attorney General
for information as to whether the
President had ordered a suit brought
against The New York World and
Indianapolis News because of alleged
libel in publications relating to the
purchase of the Panama canal proper
ty and under whnt statute this action
had been taken. Mr. Rayner declared
that there was no statute authorizing
such legal procedure and that the at
tempt to sue the newspapers in the
, name of the United States, if entered
'upon, was an attempt to apply the se
dition laws long since repealed. He
declared there was no law under
which the libel laws could be made
to apply to statements respecting the
government. Under objection the
further consideration was postponed
until Tuesday.
Hoo^e.
For a time in the House of Repres
entatives it looked as though that
body Would further resent the Presi
dent's statements affecting members
of Congfess and the secret service, by
ordering the printing of two million
copies of the proceedings of last Fri
day tabling hit* remarks. A resolu
tion to that end was presented by Mr;
Landis, of Indiana, but so strong was
the sentiment against it that it was
tabled.
The District of Columbia appro
priation bill was passed, minns the
major part of the appropriation of
$15,000 for play grounds and the
Ilouse at 3:25 p. m. adjourned.
An amendment in the legislative,
executive and judicial oppropriation
bill increasing the salary of the Pres
ident to SIOO,OOO, of the Vice Presi
dent and Speaker of the House to
$20,000, with $5,000 additional allow
ancc for carriage* and coachman for
the Vice President and Speaker and
increases for the judiciary aggregat
ing $328,000, precipitated a lively dis
cussion in the Senate Friday.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, made a
point of order against thes* increase*
on the legislation, which according
to the rules of the Senate cannot be
placed on an appropriation bill in
face of a single objection. The de
bate centered upon the first of (he
amendments objected to which was to
increase the salary of the Speaker of
the House of Representatives and
various criticisms were called forth
against such extensive ndvances ol
salaries, although many Senator*
without opposing some increase in
sisted that it should be considered in
» separate bill and not on one of the
ereat supply measures of the govern
ment.
Without concluding tke debate fur
ther consideration of the amendments
was postponed until next Monday and
at 5:85 the Senate adjourned.
Private bills had their inning* in
the House of Representatives Friday
■ almost the whole session being given
up to their consideration. Man?
were passed.
Under a resolution offered by Mr.
Gaines, of Tennesee, the judiciary
mwnmittett was directed fo report
within ten days upon the question of
the right of George L. Lilly, Governor,
of Connecticut, to retain his seat aa
a member of the House. Th& subject
occasioned a good deal of debate,
which attimcs waxed warm.
At 5:08 p. tn. the House adjourned.
In discussing the increase of the
salaries. Senator Clay said:
"If the President were called upon
to pay all these expenses," said Mr.
Clay, "$200,000 a year would not be
too much."
The President, he said, should havo
enough salary to live in dignity, but
he was convinced that snmptutas
living would not redound to the bene
fit of the country.
"The simple life," he said, "plain
living and high thinking, brings the
best results."
Senator Culberson stated that h«
proposed at the proper time to offer
an amendment making the Speaker's
salary SIB,OOO, which would make it
equal to that of the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and he it had never
been greater. ™
Senator Hemenway declared that
whether right or wrong a eustom had
grown up for the Vice President and
the Speaker of the House of Repres
entatives to entertain, but no pro
vision is made far paying any of
their expenses, as is the case with the
President, who is given a house, ser
vants, decorations, etc,
Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi, said
these salaries are paid for publie
service and not for private entertain
ment.
The following bill was introduced
in the House by Representative Qod
*in on Saturday: x
"Be it enacted- *That the Secre
tary of War 4s hereby dircted te
be constructed, according to such
plans as may be recommended by the
engineer in charge and approved by
the said Secretary, in the Cape Fear
river. North Carolina, between Wil
mington and Fayetteville, three loeks
and dams of suitable and sufficient
siie and strength to permanently
maintain at mean low water a chan
nel in said river eight feet deep, to
afford permanent and continuous
navigation from Wilmington to Fay
etteville.
"That sum of $1,350,000, or so
much thereof may be neeeiMary, be,
and the Hum is hereby, appropriated
to pay the coat of such construction
and other necessary expenses."
A committee of six, three repres
enting the blue an dthree the gray,
appeared before the House commttee
on military affairs to urge the bill
of Representative Godwin providing
$40,000 to purchase Fort Fisher and
make it a park.
A sensational and bitter attack on
President Rooseve't was made in the
House Monday by Mr. Willctt, of
New York. His remarks, which were
delivered under the license of general
debate on the pension approbation
bill, were cut short by a vote of the
House that it would hear no more of
them. So vehement was the denun
ciation of the Chief Executive that it
seemed as if the New York member
rnWd the dictionary for words which
would properly express his feelings
The President was characterized as a
"gargoyle, tyrant, pigmy discendant
of Dutch trades-people, hay-tedder,
fountain of billingsgate, a jocularity
imitation of a king, and bogus hero."
As it was, Mr. Willett had complet
ed the reading of about three-fourths
of his speech when, after repeated ap
peals to the chair by numerous Re
publicans that he be called to order,
he was compelled to take his seat.
The House voted him off the floor, 7S
to 120. Mr. Willett freely remarked
on the floor that the execution of the
body "put an end to free speech."
After the furore which the speech
created had subsided, a number of
members spoke on vnrrmis "jmbjects.
Mr. Smith, of Missouri, pleaded for
pensions for certain militiamen of
Missouri; Mr. Langly, of Kentucky,
did likewise for some of his constitu
tents; Mr. Norris, of Nebrftska, at
tacked the House rules; Mr. Larrina
ga, of Porto Rico, presented argu
ments to show that Porto Rico had
not progressed politically; and
Messrs. (lonlden, of New York; Bow
ers, of Mississippi, and Keifer, of
Ohio, discussed the merits of the
pension bill. .
