This is absurd, as Hansen has not been

gally made of the charges against him.

iii SENATE AND ‘ house.
Proceedings of Both Branches of Our
National Legislature.
WASHINGTON, March 28.—-The Rev. Dr.
Milburn’s prayer in the senate today made
eloquent reference to the death of Dennis
F. Murphy, the veteran chief of stenog-
raphers of the senate, for his exemplary
service during a long period. Mr. Murphy
has been one of the unique figures of the
senate staff, his service including the
memorable debates of the civil war.
Mr. Morrill of Vermont presented a fa-
vorable report on the bill proposing the
purchase of a square opposite the east
front of the capitol adjacent to the new
congressional library for a supreme court
building. . .
The legislative appropriatlon bill was
then taken up. The pending question was
the motion of Mr. Sherman to strike out"
all provisions relating to the changed?
compensation from fees to salaries for
United States district attorneys and mar-
shals.
Mr. Vilns offered a further amendment
‘ proposing a uniform salary of $4,000 to
district attorneys, except in the southern
district of New York, to be left as at pres
ent, and giving $6,000 for the large dis-
tricts of Massachusetts, western Pennsyl-
vania, eastern Louisiana, northern Illinois
and northern California.
Senator Hale introduced a resolution in
the senate designating Theodore F. Shuey
to succeed Dennis F. Murphy, in charge of
the stenographic staff of the senate. It
went over on objections from Senators Hill
and Quay.
Mr. Hepburn (Rep, Ia.) in the house
today antagonized the consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill, which Mr.
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee, gave notice he would call up
today by moving that the house proceed to
the consideration of private claims. Today
under the rules, belongs to the committee
on claims, but this was the first time the
question had been raised at this session.
Mr. Cannon opposed the motion of Mr.
Hepburn, but on a rising vote he was de-
feated-88 to 66. '
Mr. Cannon demanded tellers, and Mr.
Grout (Rep, Vt.) called out, “Vote with.
the, appropriation committee and adjourn
May 2.”
Again Mr. Cannon was defeated. Mr.
Cannon then demanded the yeas and nays,
which were ordered.
The roll call resulted—142 to 77. The
announcement of the victory over the ap-
propriations committee was received with
great jubiliation by the members interest-
ed in private bills. The house then Went
into committee of the whole for the con-
sideration of bills on the private calendar.
