MORE MEMBERS IN HOUSE. REAI TolNTMFT HILL PASSES WITH No \MINHMI,MS, With 133 a* llaala, Houston Measure Permit* All t<? I vital n at Unst PrcariU NumerUul status. Washington. April 27.?A bill pro? viding for the enlargement of the national house of representatives from 391 to 433 members ana the ap? portionment of these members to the different states on the basis of the population shown by the recent fed? eral census passed the house early this evening after vain efforts of mem bars of both political parties to amend It In important particulars. The pro i>< gad ?tm ->f Um h<>u??.' ii IdesjAtoal with that provided for in the Crum packsr bill, passed by the house at the last session of Congress, but not acted on by the senate. The Houston t ill, paased by the house tolay. leaves to the legislatures of the different State* the power to rearrange the congressional dlstiuts in their respec? tive States on the new population basis of one member for each 211, |S?7 of Inhabitants. The two amendments proposed to? day and defeated after lenghty de? bate, were to put restricting power in the hands of the governors of States when the legislature bad failed to act; and to limit the house in the future I to a membership of 430 or 432, leav? ing future reapp in nments to the secretary of the department of com? merce and labor. Both of these amendments were vigorously championed by *.ne Repub? licans, with some Democratic sup I port. The amendment off .-red by Mr. \?r um packer, formerly the Republi? can chairman of the committee on census, which had charge of the re apportionment subject. to give the governors of States power to carry gyput the arrangement of congressional ^districts was declared by Mr. Hamlln of Missouri (Dem.) to be a deliberate effort of Republican politicians of 1 to give the Kepublcan gov t of that State power to make up the new districts, so that Republican districts might be constructed by ^ "gerrymandering methods." Mr. Bartholdt. Republican, also of Missouri, challenged this statement and asserted that the last Democratic legislature that reapportloned the ensgrfsst^T I ? ? ' ts of Missouri Land viol..- ? federal dtaUite by flkk^^S th* dtsi-'-ets of greatly hag shr'. The Increase eg th?- size of the house was agreed to by members of both parties, but many Republicans attacked It. on the ground that It . would make the house more unwleld fry. The Houston bill follows the lines of the Crumpacker bill, passed at the last session of congress. In that it adopts as the basis of reapportionment a number of representatives which a will mean that no State will suffer a ? decrease in numerical strength, of course each State's propor strengtb will be affected in the ratio of the State's population In? crease to that of the nation as a whole. The number fixed in the Houston Mil?433?was found to bu \ the smallest number which would permit of each State retaining at least its present numerical strength.

Trinity walked away with Clemson again Thursday afternoon at the ? >nd K.iine of ball, which was play < ?1 on the local diamond, for with Bob Gantt in the box, Flemson was unable *o keep up with th*) fast pace set by the si ;?erior team. The Clemson team as a whole did poor work both in the morning and afternoon, many errors being ac t r- dlted to dilterent members of the team and poor playing In general be? ing the main trouble of the game.

During the hrst few innings Clemson showed some Uf-< and did gocd playing, but later the same apathy of the morning enrred to steal over them. The crowd oi ( Unison rooters, however, was much more lively and did some ( bering. A band of colored youths was admitted during th-e hist half of th*j game and some amusement was I-r?Mted for the benefit of the spec? tators by the efforts of these raga? muffins to put up some music. The erowd that attended the game wad much larger than that of the morning it numbering somewhere near the thousand mark, but most of this crowd became tired before the game fas out and left field and grand? stand before the seventh inning.

The following article from the Ocala, Fla., Banner will be read with interest by many Sumter people by reason of the fact that It records the success of a Sumter boy, Mr. John F. Jenkins, the eldest brother of Mr. T. B. Jenkins: "The contract for the erection of the new building for the Ocala Nat? ional Bank was awarded Saturday bp the bank officials to Messrs.

No workmen could possibly receive a higher endorsement than that which Fapt. Young voluntarily gives these gentlemen. Messrs.

Member Sounds Annexation Note During Debute Another Entertains with Sein)-Humorous Tariff Speech. Washington, April 2N.?There was nothing to the predicted riot of the Senate Republican Insurgents today, ticept the reading of a long State? ment of grievances by Senator La Toilette, The general opinion seems to be that the insurgents have had little real cause to complain, and that they have been fortunate to re? ceive as good committee assignments SI they have, In view of all the cir? cumstances. The debate on the free list bill dragged along slowly In the House for another day, the majority of the members' being out of their seats most of the time. Some of the speech? es were good, but there was nothing startling. An incident of interest, as showing the feeling of disgruntled Republi? cans, was the advocacy of Canadian annexation by Mr. Prince, of Illinois, on the heels of thro President's speech In New York, deprecating the talk on annexation. The debate will certainly run well into next week. Mr. Prince said that the pouring of Americans Into the Canadian North? west and the attitude of the controll? ing forces of the Democratic party could mean nothing else than an? nexation, reciprocity and free trade with Canada, being the tlrst step to? ward that end. Mr. Prince declared that the re? ciprocity bill was the worst bargain ever driven by one nation with an? other, and that the "Democatic far? mers' free list bill ought to be label? led the 'farmers' fake bill." The real climax of the session came when Representative Kent, of California, a new Republican Senator, deUvored a semi-humorous speech on the general tariff question, arraign? ing "a revenue tariff upon necessi? ties." Mr. Kent said that a protective tariff was an attempt to "tax our? selves rich." "The nation can i ? mire wealth, if not merit," he mid, " y unanimously oonsentlni to the ? a! picking <>f poeki ts by all 11. p< ople.' io snow taniL InequatiUeSi Mr. Kent said that 'Mr. Rockefeller prob? ably pays less Government revenue on the food he consumes than does the average hod carrier. He would doutbless like to pay as much, but be can't without eating as much." Will Bee Reciprocity Through. Ottawa, Out., April 28.?The de? termination of the Canadian Govern? ment to ratify reciprocity was em? phasized in Parliament today by the Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who declared that he would not go to Imgland to represent Canada at the imperial conference or to the Coro? nation of King George in June, but e/OUld remain here to press the agreement if the opposition persist? ed in obstructing its ratification. The matter was brought before Parliament by opposition Leader Borden, who asked Sir Wilfrid what his intentions wer in regard to the approaching events in London. "I deem it my duty to attend," re? plied Sir Wilfrid, "and engaged my passage six weeks ago, but I have come to the conclusion that should my presence be required in Canada, it will be my duty to forego the privilege of attending the conference. My first duty Is to Canada. The one bar to the trip If the trade agree i! ent with the United States. "Mr. Borden has said he and his follower! offer uncompromising op? position to the ratification of the agreement. I may add that we offer uncompromising support for the ? greement. "It is well known that under the rules of the Canadian House it is possible for the Opposition to block a measure almost indefinitely. It has come to us that the Opposition has such intention. If such is the tem? per of the Opposition, I think it will be necessary for me to revt?e my de? termination to go to England." For sorenes of the muscles whether indued by violent exercise or injury.

"The post otllce department is the greatest po? litical machine ever constructed in this or any other country anil it ii openly administered as u political or? ganisation." This was the charge made on thv door of the House of Representatives t^day by Mr. Cullop, of Indiana, who referred to Postmaster General niteh cock as I cing th?; presiding genius of ihis organization. Too much time devoted by the load of the department to political affairs and too little to business, were declared by Mr. Cullop to he re? sponsible for the annual deficit in the operation of the department. He said the people should know whether any of the 272,000 postmasters or employees had been discharged or re? duced In rank for failure to perform political duties or contribute to cam? paign funds .and whether employees are regularly assessed for campaign purposes and are punished if they do not comply. He declared that the appointive power lodged with the President is greater than that enjoyed by any foreign monarch. "The power vested in the President is almost unlimited," he said. "No man is wise enough or good enough to be trusted with such pow? er. It is the experience of the world that men clothed with such power become impatient of restraint." Mr. Cullop advocated the direct election of many of the Federal em? ployees, such as United States mar? shals and postmasters.

Merrlman of the Citadel, with hie oration, "The Moral In Politics," had won the first place in the 13th annual oratorical contest, pandemon? ium reigned for quite a few minute3, u.itj being the rat time that the Citadel has won this honor. A. H, Williams of Carolina, with his oration, "Practical Citizenship," won the sec? ond place, being beaten by just one point. The speeches this year were .way above the average, there not being a single poor one in all nine of them, which Is not usually the case, and not a single speaker "fell down." Mr. Jones, in a wry happy manner, presented the medals to the winners, and spoke of the ditliculty with which the decision as to the winners was reached.
