...Treasury signed by Treasurer of the U. S. Francis Elias Spinner, drawn to the order of Russian Minister Edward de Stoeckl and dated Aug. 1, 1868. When Alaska's voteless Delegate to Congress, Anthony Dimond, last week asked permission to transfer the check to Juneau for permanent display in that capital's Historical Library and Museum, General Accounting Office authorities were forced shamefacedly to announce that the historic draft -long since canceled and filed in the U. S. archives-had been unaccountably mislaid...

...Nance Garner walked directly from his chair after the recess, had told the Vice President to get the Court Bill through the Senate, his confreres did not doubt last week. Even less did they doubt that the sensational maneuver by which it had been accomplished was a single-handed display of the Garner political acumen and parliamentary power that topped even his masterly obliteration of the original Court Bill last month (TIME, Aug. 2).

Every morning and afternoon there were optional sightseeing expeditions to the Capitol, Mt. Vernon, Arlington, etc., etc. Scouts swarmed through Washington buying films for their perpetual photographing. On six nights there were "arena displays" given at the foot of the Washington Monument by Scouts of two regions (there are twelve in the U. S.). One afternoon there was a Sea Scout regatta, one evening a fireworks display. But more fascinating than spectacles, drills or speeches by oldsters about Scout ideals was the extracurricular activity in which all 25,000 assiduously engaged-swapping. To Washington they had brought a strange assortment...
