O. Box 137, JJpiontowii, Washington, March commitr tee appointed by the republican can CU8 of the house of representatives to formulate a financial measure for the consideration of the next congress win meet at Atlantic City for the purpose of taking up tbe question on April 17. This was decided at a meeting of the committee held yesterday in the room of the house judiciary committee, at Which Gen. Henderson, chairman, and all the members of the committee were present. No other meeting will be held until then, and nothing was done yesterday beyond deciding the time and place of meeting.

It is expected that the financial question will then be taken up comprehensively and the entire summer given up to the question' if necessary. Previous to the meeting of the full committee, a sub-committee consisting of Gen. Henderson, Mr. Payne and Mr. Overstreet held a conference with the republican members of the senate finance committee.

In this meeting the participation of the senators with the representatives in the work in hand was discussed, but no definite conclusion was reached as to whether there would be joint meetings or not. The senators repre.sented their inability to sit as a full committee and said no sub-committee could be appointed in the absence of Senator Aldrich, who is chairman of the committee. AN UNIMPORTANT CABINET MEETING. Washington, March 8. Although the cabinet was in session yesterday an hour longer than usual, the entire time was occupied in the discussion of comparatively unimportant details.

The secretary of war stated that he had made a reqiiisition on the treasury department for with which to pay the Cuban army, and an installment of this sum will be sent at once to Havana for distribution. The subject of the erection of the 63 public buildings authorized at thelast congress was discussed the conclusion was reached that a coti- siderable number 'should be erected under the Taraney act, which authorizes the secretary of the treasury to invite a limited number of well known architects to submit plans and specifications for public building, and to accept in his discretion such as are satisfactory. The situation in the Philippines was discussed, but nothing of importance was developed THE ISTHMIAN CABTAL, SUBVKY. Washington, March president brought to the attention of the cabinet yesterday the provision of tbe river and harbor act relative to the construction of an isthmian canal. The purpose was to decide upon the measure to be adopted to carry out the direction of congress to make a thorough examination of the various routes through Nicaragua and Panama and report the result to the next congress.

It was realized that the task set was well nigh impossible of compliance on account of the enormous amount of work involved in a thorough examination of even one route, as was shown by the fact that the Walker commission, under the admiral's energetic direction, was not able to present more than a mere outline of the survey made last summer of the Nicaraguan route. No decision was reached yesterday as to the details, but it is believed that the president will have recourse to the plan of appointing one or two additional members to the Walker commission and extending the functions of that body to cover the whole field, in Colombia as in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. A JPICTOBIAL HISTORY OF THE WAR. Washington, March war department has undertaken the compilation of ainovel volume, a photographic history Of the war with Spain. It has addressed a circular letter to all the olBcers in the service, asking them to contribute such prints, films or negatives as they may have possession, promising to return the articles in good condition.

It further asks all officers to report the names of such persons as to their knowledge carried cameras in the regions of active operations, 80 that tbelrald maybe sought in compiling the volume. PBESIDKNT M'KINLEY TO TAKE A TRIP. Washington, March pi-esi- dent yesterday definitely decided to take a short trip south for rest, his destination being Thomasville, where he will be the guest of Senator Hanna. The president will be accompanied by Mrs. McEinley and some of their relatives who are at present stopping at tbe white house.

It is the purpose of the president to make this trip one exclusively for rest, so he will make no speeches, and hopes to be relieved of public attentions as much as possible. It is possible that, if the weather favors, the presidential party, will go to Savannah, from Thomasville and, goinjg aboard the Dolphin, make a short vOyage in the warm waters of Florida and Georgia. TWELFTH CENSUS. Washington, March Merriam, recently appointed superintendent of tbe twelfth census, called on the president yesterday, in company with Senator Nelson, of Minnesota. Mr.

Merriain said he had asked Mr. Wines, of Illinois, who had been appointed assistant superintendent to come to Washington for a conference, that the work of organizing the force would be proceeded with as rapidly as possible. Mr. Merriam will take a short trip west in about a week bnd OS his return he. will select an office asd hereafter devote all his time to bis work fn; hand.
