THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1903. CONGRESSHEftRS The Demand for Coal Reaches the Capitol. DUTY WILL BE TAKEN OFF Leaders of the Houses Confer on the Subject, ONLY QUESTION IS THE METHOD Ways nml Mean Committee Will I,ro-"c. Suspension of Duty on Conl From Countries Wlilcn Admit It Free. As the result of a conference between leaders of the two houses, Concress will pass a bill suspending the Import duty on coal. The bill will provide for the admis sion free of coal for 00 daye; also for reciprocity In free coal with countries which admit American coal free. This Is meant to admit Canadian coal. The bill will probably pass the House today, and the Senate will pass It with slight delay. WASHINGTON. Jan. l It Is expected that Congress will pass a bill removing: the duty ot 67 cents a ton on coal Import ed Into this country. This bill may take the form, of a., rebate on drawback for 90 days, and also wil provide for reciprocity, admitting: free of duty coal imported into this country from countries granting the same privilege to the United States. This means Canada, and will permit Nova Sco tia coal to come into this country free, while coal from the Alleghanles and west ward will go Into Canada free of duty. The ways and means committee will meet tomorrow, and, according to the present programme, will report a bill on the above lines. It Is expected the bill will pass the House tomorrow. It will be taken up In the Senate very soon, and the intention Is to have It pass without much delay. Its consideration In the Sen ate has not been arranged for, but efforts are being made to expedite its passage. A number of Republicans, who hereto fore have been opposed to changing the duty on coal, said they would not oppose the bill, provided it did. not open up the whole tariff question There has been some general talk today about an agree ment to pass such a bill without opening up the 'tariff question, and; the Republican: leaders expect the House bill will be passed promptly by the' Senate. Conference In Senate. There was a conference on the floor of the Senate which was participated In by Senators Aldrlch, Allison, Spooner and Lodge and Chairman Payne, of the House committee on ways and means. After this conference Senator Aldrlch announced in the Senate, when the Vest resolution for the removal of the duty on coal came up, that he had reason to believe "there would be action elsewhere regarding the removal- of the duty." It had been the contention of Senator Aldrich that the Senate had no power to initiate such legis lation, y Chairman Payne said after the remark of Senator Aldrlch In the Senate that the ways, and means committee would meet tomorrow and consider the coal bills. Several bills have been referred to "the committee, some providing for a suspen sion of the duty for a fixed period, some for a rebate, and others for the removal of the duty without limit. Payne said he thought the committee would take some action either for a suspension of the coal duty or a rebate. Bills to Suspend Duty. Among the bills before the ways and means committee affecting the duty on coal Is one Introduced early in the session by Representative Hill, of Connecticut. This bill is receiving the serious and fa vorable consideration of the committee. It provides as follows: "That there shall be allowed and paid, under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe, on all coal of every kmd and form Imported Into any port on the Atlantic Coast, a draw back of the Import duties paid on the same to and Including the 30th day of June, 1903, this act to take effect Immedi ately upon its passage." Another bill, Introduced by Representa tive McCall. of Massachusetts, suspends the collection of duties on coal for 90 days. McCall and Senator Lodge had a talk on the House side late in the day. One of the members of the ways and means com mittee said it was Immaterial whether a bill to suspend the collection of duties or one providing for a rebate was adopted since both would "have the .same effect! and that it would be only a matter of method, but he inclined to the view that a rebate would be preferable. A number of bills have been introduced In the House and referred to the ways and means committee, which provide for the repeal of all duties upon coal of all kinds Imported into the United States. There Is still another bill providing for a reciprocal trade relation between the United States end Canada on coal. It Is not stated whether this last bill Is to be considered tomorrow with the rebate and suspension measures. For Alaska Exhibit at' St. Louis. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Secretary Hitchcock "has forwarded to the House committee on Industrial arts and exposi tions communications from residents of Alaska calling attention to the advisabil ity of providing for an Alaskan exhibit at tho Louisiana Purchase Exposition, at St. Louis. The Secretary says it is highly de sirable, in his judgment, that adequate ap propriation be made for the purpose, and Tecommends that $40,000 be appropriated. Russia Will Retaliate. NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Now that the United States Supreme Court has decided that Russia does pay a bounty on ex ported sugar, and that the countervailing duty Is lawful, says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Herald, there Is no probability that Russia will remove the retaliatory duty on American machinery, agricultural implements excepted. Dealers in bicycles and xesin have lost all of their trade in those lines, and are now looking forward to the appearance of the new Ambassador, Mr. McCormick, and hoping that a way out of the difficulty can be found In a new treaty. It Is under stood that the' Russian authorities are not averse to such action. Appointments In the Northvrest. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The President today sent the following nominations to the Senate: Collector of Customs For the District of Arizona, Edwin F. Baker. United States Marshal For the District of Wyoming, Frank A. BadselL United States Attorney For the District of Wyoming, Timothy F. Burke. Postmasters Oregon, John M. Parry. Moro. Utah, Grant Symons, Pay-son. Babcock Favors Cnbnn Treaty. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. President Rocsevelt had a long conference today with Representative Babcock, of Wiscon sin, who has just returned from Cuba. Mr. Babcock told the President that he was heartily In favor of the ratification of the pending Cuban reciprocity treaty, par ticularly as he regarded ratification as a good stroke of business policy for the United States. A'evr Minister From Ecuador. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Senor Alfredo Bacquerizo, the recently appointed succes sor to Senor Don Luis Felipe Garbo as Minister from Ecuador to the United States, was presented formally to the President today. RAISE BLOCKADE FIRST. Castro's Condition, in Which Italy Supports Him for Selfish Reasons. WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. W. W. Rus sell, Charge d' Affaires of the United States Legation at Caracas, dispatched a short telegram to the State Department an nouncing Minister Bowen's departure, but not stating what port he expects to make In the United States. The Navy Depart ment was informed that the boat would stop first at Kingston for coal. Inquiries at the State Department as to whether or not answers had been re ceived from the European capitals to Cas tro's last communication as to arbitra tion developed the fact that it has nothing to do with the exchanges that may pass between the powers and Venezuela. The functions of the Department arc said to have ceased when It brought the parties together, and they must hereafter com municate directly. Presumably Mr. Bowen will be addressed as the representative of Venezuela, and as he cannot be reached on shipboard there probably will bo a halt in the exchange. It is said here that there Is no cause for apprehension by the foreign residents of Caracas over the departure of, Minister Bowen. He was placed in charge of the interests of the subjects of European countries resident In Caracas, not per sonally, but as United States Minister. On his departure. W. W. Russell, tlie Charge ex-ofllcio, took the obligation, and the State Department is satisfied that he will scrupulously care for them. Advices received here Indicate that, while Minister Bowen comes as Venezu ela's commissioner in negotiations looking to a settlement of the claims of the allies, President Castro has made it a condition that the blockade shall be raised before Mr. Bowen proceeds with the preparation of the protocol for the peaceful adjust ment of the claims. Moreover, it now de velops that In this regard Venezuela Is likely to have the support of Italy. The United States, though not a party to the negoltations, will throw the weight of its moral influence on the same side. The Italian government Is Influenced In its course by purely economic considera tions. It does not desire to crush Ven ezuela, but simply to procure the payment of claims. The continuance of the block ade, by sapping the very life of the coun try, threatens to make it impossible for Venezuela to pay these claims within any reasonable period of time, so that any Judgment rendered against her by private arrangement or by The Hague tribunal would be hollow and almost without re sults. Castro Dodges Main Issues. BERLIN, Jan. 12. The Foreign Office here is somewhat puzzled by President Castro's last note. He avoids specific ac ceptance of the powers' stipulations, and seemingly leaves the basis for a settle ment as Indefinite as in his preceding dis patch, agreeing generally to arbitration. The President's reply has really not ad vanced the matter at all. but It Is con fidently supposed he has given Mr. Bowen full power of attorney. The State Department at Washington has advised the Foreign Office that Mr. Bowen has sailed from La Guayra. Noth ing more will be done from this side un til Mr. Bowen arrives In Washington. Castro's Forlorn Hope "Gone. NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Referring to the situation in Venezuela, the London cor respondent of the Trlbune,says the opin ion expressed by the leading officials there is that the blockade has heavily oppressed Castro, and that he has given up all hope of American intervention.

Glenn on the charge of unlaw fully killing seven prisoners of war In Samar,- a native soldier testified that tho last three of the guides who were exe cuted by the members of the expedition headed by Second Lieutenant Caulfield, of the Philippine ecouts. were shot under the orders of Preston, an American ec&ut.

General Bell did not testify to anything of material im portance. Dragged to Death by a Cow. SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 12. Belle Wolfley, the 11-year-old daughter of a widow Mvlng a few miles south of this city, was the victim of a peculiar accident today. The child had taken a cow to a watering-trough near her home, and, while It stood drinking, tied the picket rope around her waist Becoming fright ened at a passing train, the animal com menced running madly across the field, dragging the helpless child in Its trail.

ACTION TAKEN IN CONGRESS. Both Houses Pass Resolutions of Re gret and Adjourn in His Honor. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 12. As a mark of respect to the memory of the late Representative Tongue, of Oregon, the House pf Repre senttlves at 12:15 today, on motion of Representative Moody, adjourned after adopting a resolution of sympathy. It had been the avowed intention of Speaker Henderson, as announced last night, that the House should not adjourn early to day, as he contended there were three appropriations awaiting Immediate ac tion and the time could not be spared. Representative Moody and Representative Burton, however, combined their efforts this morning and Insisted that the least the House could do would be to Immedi ately adjourn as a tribute to Mr. Tongue's memory. Mr. Moody saiJ such a tribute would be deeply felt by the people of Ore gon, and a fillure to adjourn would bo regarded as a mark of disrespect, par ticularly as the House had time to ad journ over Saturday without particular cause when appropriation bills vsere pend ing. It was not until the Speaker was about to call the House to order that he re lented and agreed to recognize Mr. Moody to offer his resolution. Chaplain Coudon opened the session of the House today with a brief prayer, in which he referred touchlngly to the late Oregon Representative. He said: Ones more. Almighty God. our Heavenly Father. In the dispensation of Thy providence, are we brought face to face with that strange and mysterious thing we call death, by the sudden and unexpected temoval of an hon ored member of this honorable body. Quiet, yet always alert, patient, yet always active, unassuming yet always efficient, he did his whole duty, and we commend his spirit to thy care and keeping. whodooth all 'things well. Comfort, we beseech thee, his friends and colleagues, the grlef-strlckcn widow and child ren, by the blessed and reasonable hope that some time, somewhere, there will be a reunion where friends and families shall dwell to gether In love and unity forever. Hear us and thus bless and comfort all of us in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. The journal of the proceedings of tho House on Its last legislative day was read, routine morning business disposed of, and just before the quarter hour. Representative Moooy was recognized. "Mr. Speaker," said he, "it becomes my painful duty to announce to the House of Representatives that calamity has fallen upon our state by the sudden and untimely death of my distinguished col league, Hon. Thomas H. Tongue, who has for the past six years represented his state and district In this body with honor and distinction. At a suitable time I shall ask that a day be set apart for paying tribute to his character and distinguished public service. I now ask for the immediate consideration of the resolution which I Bend to the desk." The resolution read as follows: ' Resolved, That the House has beard with profound sorrow -of the sudden death In this city of Honorable Thomas H- Tongue, a.

Before the House assembled, Mr. Tongue's desk was draped In black crepe, with a cluster of delicate blossoms spread over the top. The flag over tho House, as well as over the Senate, flew at half-mast during the respective ses sions of both bodies today, and will so be unfurled for a period of 30-days, the usual custom In case of the death of a member. The House committee on rivers and harbors, of which Mr. Tongue was a mem ber, at a special meeting called this morning by its chairman, Mr. Burton, of Ohio, drew up and unanimously adopted a set of resolutions attesting its esti mate of its late member. These resolu tions read: We, the members of the committee on rivers and harbors of the House ot Representatives of the Consress of the United States, assem bled at the Capitol this 12th day of Janu ary, 1003. desire In the most earnest way to express our rense of loss at tho death of our esteemed associate.

A shadow has been cast over all the exercises of the day at Pacific University by the news of Con gressman Tongue's sudden death at Washington. Mr. Tongue was an alumnus of the in stitution, completing the course with tho class of '68: He had always taken a great interest in his alma mater; all of his children were sent here, two of whom graduated and one. Miss Florence, has been in attendance this year, and was hero when the news of his death reached Forest Grove. At chapel this morning Dean Ferrln spoke at length upon Mr. Tongue's career, paying a high tribute to him. both as a man and as a statesman. Professor Fer rin said in part: "In losing Mr. Tongue, the Nation loses one of the most useful men who ever sat In tho halls of Congress. He has been a faithful representative of his state, and of the district from which ho was sent. This state or community has never placed a duty on Mr. Tongue which he has not faithfully fulfilled. Perhaps no man whom Oregon has ever chosen to repre sent her has accomplished so much for the good of the state. "As an earnest and tireless worker, as a man of honor and principle, Mr. Tongue has furnished an example which the young people of the state will do well to study and follow. As a youth, ho worked his way through Pacific University, al ways showing a resolute determination to accomplish everything he undertook; after graduating, he won his way from one po sition of trust to another, alwayB keeping the respect and confidence of those around him. Oregon needs more men like Con gressman Tongue." Ilcvritt as Toneruc's Successor. ALBANY, Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.) The opinion is generally expressed In political circles here that there should be but one special election for a Congressman to fill the position made vacant by the death of Congressman. Thomas H. Tongue. Al though Albany has no avowed candidate for the position, it seems probable that a man from here will enter the race. Among the leading Republican politicians of Al bany, Judge H. H. Hewitt's name is being prominently mentioned. At present Judge Hewitt is out of the city and no statement can be secured from him. But prominent party leaders said yesterday that if Judge Hewitt .would consent to actively enter thp campaign, he would undoubtedly be the choice of the Linn County contingent. Was Well Known in Woodburn. WOODBURN, Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) The news of the death of Hon. Thos. H. Tongue at Washington yesterday did not become generally circulated In this city until today.

Moody was seri ously but not dangerously injured at the Naval Academy grounds today In a run away accident. Accompanied by Senator Hale, chairman of the" Senate naval af fairs committee, the Secretary arrived here at 2 o'clock to Inspect the new build ings being erected in the Naval Academy grounds, being driven from the. railroad station In Superintendent Brownson's private carriage. The battalion of cadets was drawn up In. line of salute just Inside the Academy grounds, and, as" the carriage bearing the Secretary, Senator Hale and their escort. Lieutenant Poyer, passed in review,, a sa lute of 17 guns belched forth from the guns on the Santee wharf. The restive horses attached to the carriage swerved suddenly and got beyond control of the driver. They dashed down Upshur Row, past the lino of cadets, the driver meantime making every effort to quiet them. The breaking of the pole of the carriage, as the spirited animals dashed down the roadway, served to render them more ex cited. As the maddened animals dashed down the hill toward College Creek, the driver, seeking to stop them, suddenly turned their heads Into a vacant lot be tween two houses. Secretary Moody, who had opened the door of the carriage as the horses dashed over the frozen ground, suddenly leaped to the pavement as the carriage made the turn into the Inclosure. He landed on his face on the pavement and was ren dered unconscious by the chock. Tho battalion of midshipmen had broken ranks without orders as the carriage dashed by, and very soon the "Secretary was lifted by tender hands and carried to the near-by residence of Superintend ent Brownson. where he shortly recov ered consciousness. Slight cuts and bruises on his forehead, nose and face are thought to be the extent of the In juries. Neither Senator Hale nor Lieutenant Poyer was Injured, as the horses were brought against a wall soon after making the turn into the open lot. Secretary Moody and Senator Hale will spend the night here as tha guests of Superintend ent Brownson. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. It Is reported from Annapolis tonight that Secretary Moody will remain there a day or two, in order to recover from the shock resulting from the accident. New Trading: Posts in China. .HONG KONG.

WHY COPELAND TREATMENT CURES CATARRH It Is the Only Combined Local and Constitutional Treatment. To the Inability and extreme reluctance on the part of the great majority of doctors even to undertake to cope patiently and Intelligently with the rav ages of Catarrh, is largely due the great avalanche of patent nostrums In the shape of liquids and tablets, every one brazenly claiming to cure Catarrh, but each with a radically different medicine. A disease for -which there Is such n multitude of alleged cures is irrrnrl nhiy one that can only le cared by the prcnt-. est skill, with the proper remedies prescribed and prepared under the direc tion of pnlnstaklnsr, careful, and experienced physicians. This Is pre-eminently true of Catarrh, and the fallacy of un dertaking to cure this widely prevalent disease by internal treatment alone cannot be too coldly exposed nor too emphat ically denounced. All persons familiar with the anatomy of the upper' part of the throat, the back portion of the nose and the middle ear know how continuous Is the del icate mucous membrane lining nil the Internal organs, and how Inflammation of this membrane extends from one part to an other.

Tt, WILL PASS TRUST BILL RESULT OF CONFERENCE WITH LEADERS AT WHITE HOUSE. Knox's Bill the Skeleton on Which It Will Be Built Both Houses to Push Action Quickly. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Following the) conference at tho White House last night, attended by Senator Aldrich and Speaker Hpnderson, there has been a great deal of discussion today among the Republicans of the Senate as to the prospects of anti trust legislation during this session of Gongress. The conclusion reached is that some measure will he passed. "There will be no radical legislation," said a prominent Republican Senator, "but a measure embodying some features of" the Knox bill may be passed. Tho Republi cans are not going to accept any or every thing that is offered, nor will they abdicate to the minority to dictate what shall be done." Another prominent Senator said he thought there should be legislation thl3 session not the bill introduced by Senator H.oar, but more in the nature of the sug gestions made by A'ttorney-General Knox. One feature or the Knox bill that was fa vorably considered was that which pro vided for the punishment of the person or corporation that received rebates as well as the carries or corporation that gave them. In the Senate committee on judiciary to day the question of trust legislation was taken up briefly, and Senators Hoar, Fairv banks and Nelson were participants, and Pettus and Turner, Democrats, were ap pointed a subcommittee to consider the subject In detail. Senator Hoar said that if the House of Representatives should act at an early day, his subcommittee would wait upon the House measure, but If it became apparent that there was to be de lay in the House, he would call the com mittee together to act independently of the House. There was no general discus sion of tho subject in the committee, but so far as opinions were expressed by mem hers, they were favorable to action. - An anti-trust bill will be reported to the House Judiciary committee at Its meeting Friday by the subcommittee of which Rep resentative Llttlefleld Is chairman. This statement was made today. The subcom mittee will meet tomorrow, when the bills drawn by Attorney-General Knox and In troduced by the chairman of the judiciary committee, but which the subcommittee has been advised were Intended to be In the nature of supplemental suggestions, will be compared with the bill already drafted by the subcommittee. An effort will be made to have the bill reported to the Judiciary committee on Friday, and reported out of that commit tee at the earliest possible date, in order that It may be taken for action by the House without delay, tnus giving the Sen ate time to act. Members of Mr. Little'fleld's subcommlt tee. it Is stated, expect their bill, as it Eczema How It reddens the skin, Itches, oozes, dries and scales!

Ownership of Valuable Estate Will Fall to Owner of Musket. NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Members of .the Stoy family all over the United States, including Mayor Franklin P. Stoy, have been interested In finding the possessor of a certain Revolutionary musket, own ership of which may carry with it the In heritance of an estate In Troy, Pa., worth, it is said several million dollars, says an Atlantic City, N. J., dispatch to the Tribune. A letter received by Mayor Stoy probably settles the question of ownership or the gun, Isaac Stoy, of Sherwood, Mich., stating that he is its possessor. Seventy years ago the property in ques tion was leased to John Stoy, thc father of Isaac. At that time it was found that, inserted In the grant to the original lease, was a clause which provided that any dis pute in regard to the succession of the property was to be settled by the posses sion of a Revolutionary musket- which was minutely described and spoken of as hav ing been carried by one of the original Stoys at the Cornwallis surrender at York town. The musket was to be passed to tho nearest heirs of the holders ot the lands and to be absolute proof of owner ship. The hunt for the gun shows that a few years ago it came into Isaac's possession.
