CONSULAR FEES HIDDEN. Compensation Fixed by Congress Based on Federal Reports. One of the unexpected results of the ronsular reorganization act now being placed in operation is the discomfiture of tome consular officers who have been concealing the actual amount of the unofficial fees of their offices. The practice was rot dishonest in one sense, for the onsuU are in many cases permitted to retain all such fees, but for the sake of the records of the department and in order to enable the officials to know the state of business of the consulates it was required that all such fees should be accounted for. Some consuls feared that to publish the imount of such fees they received would te to make their offices too attractive to office seekers, so they failed to make the full returns. Their punishment came when Congress passed the reorganization tct on the basis of substitution of lump lalaries for the combined salary and fee iystem of compensation. There was no Intention of reducing the compensation of many of the consuls, but it has naturally followed that the consuls who failed to return their full fees have suffered a subtantial reduction.

OLDEST TOLLGATE KEEPER. For Fifty Years Margaret Rhoads Has Guided Traffic. The oldest tollgate keeper in the United States in point of service is s.vd to be Mrs. Margaret Rhoads, who lives in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. Surely she is the oldest in years.

Now, at the age of SO years, she is still attending to her duties there. In 1S49, when the Springhouse and Suraneytown turnpike was completed, Mrs. Rhoads and her husband, John Jenkins Rhoads, were induced to take charge of the tßllgate about one mile above Springhouse. Mrs. Rhoads collected the first toll ever paid upon the pike. After five years service there the couple resigned and removed to Philadelphia. Not being favorably impressed with city life; however, they returned to the country and took charge of fhe tollgate half a mile west of North Wales, at the junction of the West Point and Springhouse and Sumneytown turnpikes. This. was on March 31, 1S55, and Mrs. Rhoads has remained there in continuous service since, a period of over fifty years. Mr. Rhoads died in 1SG2, leaving his widow as sole guardian of the gate.

S3 e By a vote of 107 to CO the House Saturday refused to pass the anti-graft bill, so-called, dealing with ctton leaks and other matters of a confidential character, which, should they become publicly known, might have a tendency to affect markets because the conferees had recommended that the members of Congress be included within the scope of the bill. The opposition was led by Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, assisted by Mr. Crumpacker (Ind.), Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) and Mr. Gardner (Mass.), while the friends of the measure were represented by Mr. Burleson (Texas) and Mr. Jenkins (Wis.). The Senate was not in session. In the Senate Monday the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was passed within three hours from its first reading. It carries appropriations apsregating $29,Sin,2ö9, an increase of $50,343 over the amount reported to the Senate. A number of unimiortant measures were passed. Notwithstanding that the leader of the minority, Mr. Williams of Mississippi, insisted upon the presence of a juorum throughout the day, delaying as much as he could the orderly procedure of legislation, the House passed twentytwo bills, six Sonate nad sixteen House measures. Among the bills passed was one to amend section t of an act entitled "An act to define and fix the standard of value, to maintain the parity of all forms of money issued or coined by the United States, to refund the public debt, and for other purposes," approved March 14, 1900. For an hour or more Tuesday the House of Representatives could not decide whether to go into committee of the who!e on the diplomatic and consular bill or to follow the lead of Mr. Gardner of Massachusetts and take up the immigration bill. Assisted by Mr. Williams, Mr. Gardner led a mild filibuster against taking up the consular bill. Hhe Republicans, however, had a quorum of the House present, end eventually the consular bill was taken up and general debate begun. The Senate devoted the greater part of the day to the immigration bill, but before it was taken up Senator McCumber made a personal statement contradicting an article printed in a New York paper to the effect that the railroad rate bill had been 60 amended at his instance as to render it ineffective. A resolution directing the committee on privileges and elections to consider the course to be pursued in the case of Senator Burton was adopted. Half a dozen bills to which no objection was made were passed Wednesday, after which the Senate devoted the remainder of the day to the immigration bill, consisting of a series of amendments to the existing law designed to bring about a better distribution of the immigrants throughout the country. After long discussion the bill was passed. Republican and Democratic loaders dasher'- in the House, clearly defining the issu-, of the next campaign. The fireworks began when the session opened, Mr. Williams demanding a roll call on the moton to go into executive session for further conslaeration of the diplomatic and consular service bill. This he failed to get. Charles B. Landis of Indiana made a Mstand-pat" speech on the tariff, and Mr. Williams replied to him. Mr. Lougworth spoke, advocating the" ownership bythe government of the legations abroad. The Senat? Thursday passed the bill relieving denatured alcohol from the internal revenue tax and began work on the agricultural appropriation bill, which was under discussion when adjournment was taken. The session of the House was given over to oratory, the speakers being two leaders of opposite schools of politics, Representative Charles A. Towne of New York and Representative John Dalzell of Pennsylvania. Although the diplomatic and consular bill was before the House, nothing of a legislative character was accomplished. -: :- The Senate Friday passed th agricultural appropriation bill, carrying $7,S00,000, and without a word of debate added to it as an amendment the Beveridge bill providing for an inspection of fresh meats intended for domestic consumption. Senator McCumber, charging fraud on the part of the grain Inspectors at Minneapolis, sought to have national Inspection established, but failed. A bill authorizing the government of the Philippines to change the weight and fineness of the silver in the peso to correspond with the rise in the price of silver was passed. Senator Clapp introduced a bill to remove the restrictions on the alienation of lands of the five civilized tribes of Indians. The sea-level canal bill was made the unfinished business. In the House the question of veracity was raised between Mr. Cooper (Wis.) and Mr. Hepburn (Iowa) during the debate over the rate bill resolution. The rule disagreeing to the Senate amendments en bloc finally was adopted, twenty-five Republicans voting with the Democrats against it. The remain-, .der of the day was devoted '.o iwnsion legislation, 215 private bills being r-assed. In the National Capital. Senator Beveridge of Indiana will Introduce a bill for stringent federal regulation of meat business. House Democrats, led by Williams of Mississippi, made a pretty but unsuccessful filibuster fight on negro bill. Pennsylvania railroads paid rebates to coal shippers, was testimony given before interstate commerce commission. The President has sent to the Senate the nomination of Bernard S. Rodey of New Mexico as United States district judge. The construction of a lock level type of canal at Panama is to go on ; Congress is not expected to decide at this session. Eki Hioko, in charge of Japanese affairs in Washington until the arrival of Viscount Aoki, the new ambassador, has started for Japan. Speaker. Cannon is to be nominated on the floor of the House of Representatives for President of the United States. The nominating speech probably will be made by Representative Boutell of Chicago and will contest the statement frequently repeated that "Uncle Joe" Is too old to be President. Commissioner Garfie!d offered proot that railroads granted oil trust secret rates, and the railway deniel is refused. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill has been reported to the Senate. It carries $29,75.,914, an increase of $445,721 over the amount voted In the House. The largest item of increase is $100,000 for collecting the internal revenue. Practical agreement. has been reached by the conference committee on the statehood bill. The report, it is said, will provide that a referendum vote be taken separately in Arizona and New Mexico to allow the people to decide whether or not th?y wish to come into the Union as one State. Count La Mira, Mexican minister . to China, formerly military attache of the Mexican legation at Washington, who was injured during a recent- typhoon, is in a critical condition at Pekin. There has been discovered at Greenock, England, an old-fashioned umbrella with whalebone ribs, which must be quite 120 years old. When opened it affords shelter for a whole family. Every base occupation makes one 6harp in its practice, and doll in every oUier. Sir P. Sidne

mm r- vet's? rkfin.'-v v'tji-X: hNANCIAL ChlCagQ. jly'have'l seasonabl The conditions generalbeen favorable to onable progress in the leading lines of activity, new commitments being exceptionally large in finished steel for next year's delivery, while consumption of necessaries remains unprecedented and money works easier. Labor difficulties have disappeared, except as to foundry work, which is delayed owing to the molders' strike. Movements of commodities again are increasing, heavier marketing of crops and lake carrying contributing to the current gain in tonnage. Factory work is strengthened In the effort to obtain more output, particularly of farm implements, heavy hardware, furniture and power machinery. New building operations - never before were of such magnitude, and the fine weather penults rapid advance in other outside construction work. Real estate dealings have expanded, a feature leing much investment for mercantile purposes. Building materials are in urgent request and some trouble is exIerienced in getting prompt deliveries. Distributive trade was considerably stimulated by the warm weather. The demand for lightweight clothing has made a substantial increase, and this led to the hurried placing of various reorders for both city and country account. Wholesale transactions are of steady aggregate and frequent shipments to Western points were made of dry goods, footwear, furniture, clothipg and hardware. The absorption of sporting goods .and automobiles shows better than a year ago, while the current sales of food products are remarkably active. Agricultural reports reflect most encouraging conditions. Corn planting throughout Illinois covers an extended acreage and Is almost completed. These favorable factors Impart further confidence In commercial circles and it is noted that mercantile collections have improved. Western railroad traffic returns exhibit further increase and the Indications suggest continued profitable earnings.
