Senate Floor Will Lose Much of Ita
Supply of Wind.
Tt'oodhrldi:e'l,I.iiTiikeu Committee
on ItnlcK Decide to Accept It.
Conditions to Be HevereiL
Tlie Senate Committee on Rules was In
session for several hours today.
It took Pror. Woodbmlge of Boston two
hours to explain his new plan of ventilating
the Si-uatc chamber.
The committee followed him an closely as
It could, butlt was hard work for the metn
Ivrs. The greater nart of ins inlt w.n
along mechanical lines.
The greatest change is, suggested for the
Seuatv chamber, as stated hi the Morning
Tune-. The galleries are to tie relieved of
the lr old-time wooden benches, and in their
pl.ic.-s go the new. loldiog opera chairs.
All tins is to be ooin- lor tne sake of ven
tilation. At pre-seiit the ventilating plant
of the1 Senate side throws 2.MW0 cubic feet
of air per minute on to the floor of the
Senate and 7,000 cubic feel into the gal
leries. MORE AIR IN GALLERIES.
This Is to be reversed: the galleries are
to get 2,000 and tlie floor 10,000 cubic
feet of fresh air per minute.
The plan also is to be extended to the
entire Senate side of the Capitol. It Is
to be tarried into the committee rooms and
corridors even of tlie terrace.
Prof. Woodbrldge'K ieie-a is not a revo
lution of the ventilating sv stein. It is
simply an e-xteiision of the sv stem in pres
ent use. The professor holds that the sys
tem now in use is excellent as far as It
goes.
.Ttlfl' nrnmisefl Imiiriipotnonla will ct
nbout $ 10,000. It will take several months
to build them. It mustbedone letween two
sessions or Congress.
'lhe plan looks to the cooling of the corri
dors, galleries and senate chamber in sum
mer as vvell as warming In winter. TI e
cooling will be done by means or refrigera
ed air.
CHANGE IN IIIEG.lLLERIES.
But the most noticeable change will come
In the galleries. The chairs proposed for
thecliangeareof Iron and haveboved side-s.
Each side has 120 square inches or space
throtigti which the air pours. There are
"no currents, because the currents meet
and neutralize each otlieras they come out
(besides ot the chair.
Tue chairs are numbered, and at any time
lhe seating capacity ot ilia galleries can
be 'handled withoat trouble. It will not
elejiend ou the doorkeeper. Cards can be
given for each seat.
TheseaUrigca pacify will not be increased.
Three bizejs or chain ar recommended
'18,-rJl?rOml-U iuc-ucs.The21-lncn chairs
are luxurious fellows atfdwlirrjusiT fill
tho galleries as at present. Thev will bo
pit la.
The chairs fold up the same as an opera
chair, and thus Increases the comfort of
lioopie occupying incm. To mny demon
strate hi plans, Prof. Woodbrldge was
forced to ue eleven maps.
Tho committee adjourned after being
In session three hjrs, and rendered a favor
able report on Pror. Woeidbridge's propo
sition, which was ordered printed, nnd
will be given Uie Senate Tuesday or

It is also a matter of surprise as to the

There is, of course, not a shadow or

The mere fact that the Committee on
iorelgn Affairs had not been appouited
and cannot at tbe earliest possible mom-nt
make a report for more than three weeks
would have deprived the resolution or its
privileged character.
Had this point been raised the general
belle-r Is that the Sneaker would have been

or the fact that this provision is contained

The Democratic leaders were evidently
dazed by the suddenness nnd magnitude of
the pro position, and did not think with surri
cient rapidity to avail themselves or tins
proviso, which could have been interposed
as a stone wall IWore the Repulihcac-s.
The action or the Committee on iore-ign

supposed. Just prior to the reference of

report a resolution expressing tt.e ids

the conduct or the American amtassador

This Is. very likely to bo the outcome or
the matter, and if such a resolution stall
