5Stt5sEKiS SORTER 05 THE RACK. Tho Census Bureau Accused of Ex travagance and Even Worse. SPEAKER CBISP YET A SICK MAX. Be Tries to Pnt in a Day, but Is Forced to leave the Chair. THE FIRST MY UXDEK THE 5EW EDLES "Washington, D. C., Feb. 5. The Cen sus Bureau, its management, and the extent to which it has been subordinated to politi cal ends were the subject of two hours' spirited discussion in the House to-day. "While the discussion in a general way was upon the party lines, the Superintendent of the Census was not without supporters on the Democratic side Kepresentative Stone of Kentucky, being among the warmest champions of Mr. Porter's efficiency aud official zeal. For the first time this session the House met this morning -with a code of rales to govern its procedure, but owinjr to a driv ing suow storm which visited "Washington to-day, the attendance of members was very small. Speaker Crisp, who, though present yesterday occupied the chair for bnt a brief period, as in his place this morning, and called the House to order promptly at noon. !Mr. rithian, of Illinois, sent to the Speaker for reference a bill placing farm implements upon the free list He wished to have the bill printed in the Record, but the Speaker declined to recocnizc him for the purpose of making "the request at the present time. Sr-eaKer Crisp in Bad Shape. Speaker Crisp was very hoarse, and his voice a hardly audible. The calling of the committee lor reports, which is usually made by the speaker in person, was dele gated to one of the reading clerks, the Speaker being desirous of saving his throat ns much as possible. Finally he left the cliair and yielded the gavel to Mr. McMil lin. of Tennessee. Several reports were made from commit tees and placed on the appropriate calen dars. tlh'e call of committees having been com pleted Mr. Fithian, of Illinois, made his request that the bill introduced by him be printed in the Record, and the request was accrued to. The House then went into committee of the hole, Mr. liichardson. of Tennessee, in the chair, on the census deficiency bilk Mr. Savers, of Texas, in charge of the bill, made an" explanation as to its provisions, and brought a charge of extravagance against lbs- ailni:ni'.:rat.on of the Census Bureau. He said that hundreds of men and women who !icerou;ht to have been employed had been emploved in that office at the in stance of n-.cmDers of Congress. Had the Jnprrinte.idcnt of Census been left to oper ate his bureau without pressure from the outside to put in office a largo number of in competent persons, the expenditure would liarr been irry much less Mr. HerderVon, of Ioa Do you refer to the number or the ouality ' Mr. feayer To Loth. IiIesT?in The Hands of 3Ir. Sayors. Mr. Henderson inquired whether the gen tleman had any evidence to justify his jstESrmi'nt. Mr. Sajcr-. insisted that he had. That evidence had come to him from outside sources. It h-A been stated to him that the salaries of incompetent persons had been largely increased. There had been a use less expenditure of public money. Mr. Henderson contended that the office had b-en economically administered, and askrd Mr. Savers to bear him out in this i conteriion. This Mr. Savers declined to do, stating that from the information hi had received lie could not indorse the declaration. Many an employe who was drawing a salary of 300 a month wa u'lable to discharge his duties. He believed that a committee Eliould be appointed to investigate the ad ministration of the ofiice. Such an investi gation should justify him in his statement as to the extravagance of the bureau. Mr. Dingley, ol Maine, regretted that the jrentleman ironi Texas had made charges sssiiiKt the p-iperintendent of the Census that had never been made before the Com jnit'ee on Appropriations. It Feemed to liiui ihn such charges made by the gentle TOan (from anonymous sources) should have been brought to the attention of the com mittee. He was sure that had this been uor.e the rninortv of the committee would Late insisted that an investigation bemade. A Oaestirn Tor Committee First. It was unfair to the superintendent that Euch charges sho.ild be made against him on the floor o! 1 lie House. If there had been anr mismanagement of the Census office; if any cuiplojca were unfit to perforin their duties-, these 'legations were matters that should have been brought to the attention tit tile committee and not launched upon the House when the members of the com mittee could not have an opportunity of in quiring whether there was any foundation lor the charges. He believed that the superintendent had faithfully performed the lut that had been intrusted to him. If the expenditure of the Census Bureau had leen increased this was due to the fact that Congress had imposed upon it the new and t.nticard-ot duty of inquiring into the private business of citizens aud compelling, them to disclose the amounts of their farm mortgages. Mr. Duncan, of Ohio, opposed an appro piiuiion lor the Census Bureau until the charsres made against it had been answered satisfactorily. It had been said that tons and tons of statistics had been destroyed alter compilation, and that a lot of punch ing machines (the invention of a relative), which could be purchased lor ?10 had been employed at a royalty of to. Imlian.i Limestone a Factor. Mr. Cooper, of Indiana, criticised the census office on the ground that it had dis criminated against certain limestone in dustries of Indiana and in favor of others. In the takingof the census great inaccuracy, it iiui uisiicinesty, nau Deen committed, as far as the limestone countries were con- ccrneu. Mr. Stone, of Kentucky, paid a Irish tribute to the ability and efficiency of the Superintendent of the Census. Mr. Saycrs, of Texas, offered an amend ment appropriating 115,514 for the subsist ence ot tho Sioux Indians, and calling upon the Secretary of the Interior to report" to the House the names of all employes under the direction and supervision of the Indian Bureau. The latter clause of this amend ment was the fini general legislation to be incorporated upon an appropriation bill, but no objection being made, the amend ment was adopted. The committee having arisen, the bill was passed. The private calendar was then taken up lor consideration, but no progress was made, and the House adjourned until 32.45 o'clock to-morrow, when eulogies will be delivered upon the late Representative Xee, of Virginia. THE CEISESE PSOELEM. Again Considerably Aijitatln? the House. Committee on Immigration. Washington, D. G, Feb. 5. The House Committee on Immigration to-day ltirther discussed the subject of Chinese immigrants, but came to no conclusion. There is an evident disposition on the pari of the members of the committee to report a bill in relation to the subject at an early day. The sub-committee on Chinese immi gration, appointed to-day and consisting ot Messrs. Geissenhainer, Hare and Ketchum has arranged for a meeting to-morrow, with Chairman Stump and Eeprescntative Geary, of California, both of whom have introduced bills to prohibit Chinese immigration. The sub-committee hopesto report its conclusions to the -full committee at a special meeting next week. Two other sub-committees were appointed to-day, viz: On European immigration, Covert, Epes, Fuuston and Coburn; on naturalization, Elliott, Fvan and "Wright, Chairman Stump is ex-ofnclo member of the three sub-committees. "WAYS ABD MEAHS SUB-COKKITTEES. The Committee to Proceed at Once to Do Business In ths Home. "Washingto;,-, D. a, Feb. 5. The House "Ways and Means Committee ordered favor ably reported a bill making Sandusky, O., a port of entry. Some routine business was transacted, bnt the principal business of the committee that oF tariff revision was not even under discussion. The Chairman an nounced the appointment of the following sub-committees: On customs Springer, "Whiting and Barrows; internal revenue "McMillin, Shiveley andMcKcnna; reciproc ity and commercial treaties Turner, Cock ran and Heed; administration of revenue laws Wilson, Stevens and Dalzell; public debt, Montgomery, Bryan and 1'ayne. The tariff" question will not come up before any of the sub-committees, iurisdiction over the subject being retained by the full com mittee. Mr. McMillin was instructed to move in the House on Moudav that the House re solve itself into committee of the whole for the customary reference of the various por tions of the "President's annual message to the appropriate committees of the House. All the private bills in the hands of the Committee on Ways and Means were directed to be reported back to the House for reference to the various committees having jurisdiction of private claims. This was understood to indicate the determina tion of the committee not to give considera tion to private claims during this Congress. JTJDGS WOODS' CASE UP AGAIH. Owins to the Illness of Chairman Hoar It's Postponed Attain. "Washington, D. C., Feb. 5. The nom ination of Judge "Woods was under consid eration again before the Senate Judiciary Committee to-day. Senator Turpie brought before the committee District Attorney E. B. Sellers, who gave a detailed statement of Judge Woods' conduct during the Coy-Dud-Icy prosecution. His statement was very conservative. It is said it did not bear hard on Judge AVoods. There were also in attendance in answer to subpoenas issued at Senator Voorliees' re quest, Captain Ely Bitter, who was em; ployed by the uommittee ot One Hundred to prosecute Cov and Dudley, and Nathan Morris, ex-United States Commissioner, who was also concerned in the Dudley case and issued the process against Dudley which was never enforced. Both of these wit nesses told of their share in the prosecution and of Judze Woods connection with it. Chairman Hoar was absent on account of illness, so the committee did not undertake to reach a decision upon the nomination to day. A BILL TO PEKVENT KITING. How National Dank Scandals May Bo Pre vented in t!ie Future. " Washington, D. G, Feb. 5. The Fidelity Bank scandal, the Sixth Na tional Bank in New York, and various other breaches of trust by national bank officers, found a cumulative echo to-day in a bill drafted by Representative Walker, of Massachusetts, which the House Committee on Banking and Currency authorized to be favorably reported to the House. The bill's title is "for the better control of and to promote the safety of national banks," that being the title of a measure in troduced by Representative Harter, of Ohio, for which the committee to-day pro vides that national banks shall not make loans to officers nor employes, except by a vote of the Board of Directors, and that re ports of loans to officers of the bsnk shall be made to the Comptroller of the Currency. Cession of Arid LnnJ to tbe States. Washington, D. C, Feb. 5. The pro position to cede the arid iands to the States, to bereclaiincctjjy tjiem, was carriediy an almost unanimous vote at the meeting of the House Committee on Irrigation, to-day. The method by which the transfer of the lands is to be made and the proper safe guards and restrictions to be thrown around them to prevent their diversion into other uses than for the benefit of the settler, are matter that have not yet been determined upon. Tiiey will form the topic of discus sion at a future meeting. CAKPE.VTEIt gives the progress In tlio American Inter-Continental Hallway in THE DISrATcIl to-morrow.
