of Arkansas chairman of the Committee on Public I Lands spoke against the proposed committee amendment reducing the appropriation for protecting timberlands timber-lands from 580000 to 560000 Mr Berry urged Its enlargement and moved an increase to 120000 Mr Gorman opposed an increase So gross was the abuse so useless the offices said Mr Gorman vehemently I vehe-mently that Congress cut down the appropriation to 40000 and I regret to say the officer in authority exceeded that appropriation by 545000 Mr Wolcott was even more vigorous in the denunciation of this service Forty thousand dollars he said was an over appropriation They Are llcnxttlcM The socalled timber inspectors continued Mr Wolcott contemptuously contemptu-ously are a lot of broken down politicians poli-ticians who tumble over each other as tdam wht eacl soon as this appropriation is adopted They are a lot of men not fit to stay at home and who are unloaded on the west The senator declared that these men were not engaged in blackmailing railroads rail-roads out of passes they were dragging drag-ging some poor prospector to the federal courts I suppose these venal ffijers referred re-ferred to by the senator from Colorado Colo-rado said Mr Berry were appointed lr erc by the last administration I is not a party Question replied Mr TYolcott I the senator thinks his party is better than mine In electing e-lecting timber agents he thinks less of his party than I do Mr Gorman tesonted a suggestive remark re-mark Mr Berry had made as to an increase of many officers but a decrease de-crease in this particular case < ntttty GiAwrt WtuLui Mr Gforman declared he knew no party no administration in his action on these appropriations and considered only the public service By this time Mr Berry was visibly agitated and he addressed himself directly di-rectly and personally to Mr Gorman He ridiculed the civil service requirement require-ment which the committee had sought to place on timber agents I Is the first time said Mr Berry excitedly that I ever heard of the senator from Maryland Gorman asa civil service reformer cvi I said Mr Berry the senator meant to Infer he Berry was getting this appropriation in order to put the political favorites in place that which he was stating was not true Then Mr Berry added with bitterness bitter-ness It has been repeatedly charged that the senator from Maryland Gorman Gor-man has filled out one of the great branches of the government with his appointees A Curse to tIC West Mr Gorman was apparently unruffled unruf-fled and made no reply Mr Stewart Populist of Nevada further denounced the timber agents as a curse to the west The merits of the service were discussed dis-cussed at much length by Mr Carey Mr Dubois Mr Bate Mr Teller and others Mr Vest declared that he had personally per-sonally seen great canyons through Montana absolutely denuded of timber by the agent of a corporation known as aii Improvement company Mr Berry withdrew his amendment and hoped the money provided by the House would stand but on a vote the committee amendment of 40000 was sustained to 2D Mr Berry made the point of order against the civil service requirements as to timber agents The point of order was sustained Mr DuboIs moved an amendment increasing In-creasing the appropriation for surveying public landg from SOO < W tp 400 O < > He

an amendment amend-ment that the sugar bounty be paid in silver coin to be coined from silver seigniorage now in the treasury Mr Blackburn made a point of order that the McLaurin amendment was not germane and the presiding officer sustained the point Gorman Against I Mr Gorman spok energetically against the bounty amendment I would be most unfortunate he said to have this great sum attached to the sundry civil bill He had Toted for the bounty whIm the tariff question was up But Congress had decreed against the bounty and now It was not hereon here-on Its merits as a bounty but as a I claim f I In view of the bounties given by other countries said Mr Gorman I do not believe the great sugar Industry of the United States will last five years longer j He believed In the 4nerits of the bounty but In view of the condition of the treasury and tariff action of Congress he did not believe in this old bounty We will soon have the question of financial deficiency before us said Mr Gorman We are today and have been for years paying the current expenses ex-penses of the government fronivebonds sold and unless we mak provision for meeting our obligations there will not be enough by l 60000000 toay the current cur-rent expenses of the criccent year iMr Hall suggested1 t hat the bounty amendment ought to be as germane as amendment Mr Gormans treasury certificate Ont of Order Mr

destroyed by the tariff law The amendment was ruled out of order Mr Pettlgrew said the sugar men were no more entitled to compensation than were others injured by the Wilson son tariff legislation The Louisiana claim was a premium on Impudence the Louisiana senators had helped break down the protective tariff and ruin northern industries and now I came In as strong protectionists for their own
