It provides that In every mini over 100 feet In depth, mine owners be required to provide 5,500 cubic feet or pure air for every fifty miners. It also provides that managers of coal mines shall employ shot flrera. One of the principal subjects dis cussed at the Cabinet meetlug Frldav was the reply which the President will make to the appeal of Admiral Schley. Tbe I Resident has given a good deal of attention to the matter and it la under stood that In the course of a few days he will be ready to announce his con clusions. The postofflee appropriation bill baa practically been completed by a House committee and will be reported soon. It carries $137,910,508, an Increase of $14,133,010 over the current appropri ation and of $3,185,022 over the esti mates. The largest item Is $41,250,000 for railway transportation of mails. The rural free delivery service gets an increase of $1,250,000, making the to tal $7,520,000, and provision is made to place the rural carriers under a con tract system, Instead of salaries, as at present. The extra allowance for fast railway mail sendee between New York and Washington is omitted, but that for the service between Washing ton and New Orleans and from Kansas City to Newton, Kansas, la Included. There Is no provision for pneumatic tube service, that subject being cov ered lu a separate bill. For Increase of salaries of postofflee clerks SBII,OOO Is allowed, and $200,000 for Increase lu salaries of railway employes. An extended speech on the pending Philippine tariff bill was delivered In the. Senate Friday by Mr. Morgan of Alabama. Speaking of the claims which had been made tliat there was no lawful government la the Philip pines. Mr. Morgan, with earnestness, srfld there is a government there, and lie was glad to say, a very good gov ernment. suitable to the character of these people and the circumstance* in which we found them. It would ad vance the esteem of tbe Filipinos for the United States if they could have a delegate in Congress, as In tbe case of Hawaii, said Mr. Morgan. This, he thought, would be no violation of the constitution. Referring to the work of the Philippine Commission, their per sonality and their ability, he paid a tribute to the late President McKinley, who, he said, was the happiest man In the world in making selections of men for responsible position, who always could be relied upon to do the right thing at the right time and in the right way. Chairman Loud of the House commit tee on postofflees and post roads 1? said to have secured an agreement from the committee on rules to take up the postofflee appropriation bill aftei the disposition of the ways and meant committee’s bill for the reduction ol the war revenue taxes. There Is a pros pect of considerable opposition to the bill, which provides for the placing of rural free delivery under the contract system. Mr. Loud's argument, aud he will be supported by every member of the committee, is based entirely upon the economy of the proposition. He estimates that there will be a saving of nearly $1,000,000 In the cost of the ser vice If the work is done by contract instead of employes of the government. Rural carriers, of which Colorado has now nearlj' seventy-five regular and substitute'were on February Ist placed under the service rules and by an item In the urgent deficiency bill their sal ary was raised to SOOO per year. This includes the item of horse hire and maintenance. Mr. Loud’s Idea Is to have all country routes served by car riers secured by conpetitive bidding the lowest bidder to carry the route aud handle the mnll and to supplant all of the 8.000 rural carriers now In the ser vice by cheaper men If such can b« found. As a great proportion of the carriers have purchased horses, wagona and uniforms for carrying out the ser vice under assurance of permenancy, Congress Is already being deluged with protests against this new economical Idea of the California representative. The President Is known to be most vig orously opposed to the proposition. The nomination of Ben Daniels, an ex-rough rider, to be marshal of Ari zona, confirmed by the Senate before It had heard of his record §m an ex convict, a hold-up man anff a braoe game gambler, will be revoked by the President. Daniels was a personal nominee of President Roosevelt. The President knew him as a brave soldier and desired to reward. him. There were ugly rumors In Washington about Daniels when his nomination was re ferred to the Judiciary. After his nom ination was confirmed the story came that Daniels had served a term in pris on for larceny aud a great row was raised in the Bonnte because he had been confirmed without facta being brought to the knowledge of that body. President Roosevelt called on Daniels for an explanation and the letter re ceived In reply was not satisfactory. Senator Turner has Introduced a res olution In the Senate for Investigation by a Sennte committee of the conduct of Indian schools In this country. The resolution tells of a startling state of affairs nmopg some of the schools, of the admission of scholars infected with tuberculosis and contagious diseases, and says that the mortality among the scholars Is appalling. One exhibit quotes an inspector of schools as say ing that It Is Ids belief that of every detail of either boys or girls who sweep the dormitory rooms of Indian board ing schools three out of four die of tu berculosis within five years. The res olution says: “There Is an intermix ture of the two sexes In such schools, without proper supervision In many cases, with theeesult that many of the female children are debauched and the morals of the children of botft sexes perverted and destroyed." AN INTERESTING TOOL. Ths Automatic Screw Machine Dsee Wonders. Tbe noat highly developed of ma chine tlpU Is the automatic screw ma chine, like many another contriv ance forpaviug labor, its home is New England. It is a development of the ordinary fieel-working lathe, the Inter mediate fiep being the monitor lathe. In which he various cutting tools pro trude fret, the side of a steel turret like tlfirtetu-imdi guns from a battle ship turre\ In the non-automatic screw timeline the turret Is revolved by the opentor, so as to bring each tool Into plai Just as the turret on the old Monitor Vas revolved to bring one gun after ankhcr into action. But In the automatU machine the work Is done without mumn guidance. It making strews, nuts, bolts, stud and other smal pieces that must be turned, drilled <r threaded for watches, docks, typewrifcrs, electrical instru ments and all the op erator has to dots to feed tbe “stock” —a long, thin of steel or brass—to tbe machine. T» feeding mechanism carries the rod sltWly forward Into the field of action. 'Sie turret advances and puts its first W at work on tbe end of the rod. Vhen this tool has done its task, the ttrret withdraws it, turns and advance* a second tool into action. Each cutting tool around tbe turret has Its distinct work to perform —one cutting a thread, another shaping a head, another putting on a point, an other drilling a hole, still another put ting on a knurling. The turret auto matically brings each of, perhaps, six tools Into action, and, when the work is finished, the completed screw drops Into a pan, while the "stock" is auto matically fed forward to btgin the com plex operation again. A stream of ma chine oil pours continuotsly on the work to carry away the htat, and the little metal cuttings collect In a heap under the machine.
