Ioe, Who Conditionally Mas Secured Half-Interest in Craft, Finds the Hull in Good Condition. When the steamer Geo. TV. Elder Is Anally floated her hold will be found alive with fish. This was brought to light yesterday afternoon by one of the divers when he emerged from hatch No. 2 after having made a final examination of the patches put over the large break that sent the steamer to the bottom. The water in the hull is black, and the diver was completely In the dark, but In groping his way over the bottom came in contact with a veritable school of fish, which he believes are carp. He says they were so thick that he had to push his way through them, and he could feel the commotion in the water. The fish have been feeding and growing fat on the flour and other foodstuffs al lowed to remain in the after part of the vessel to keep her on as even a keel as possible, and besides they have been shel- HTEAMLR IN'TEIJJGENCE.

By screening the pumps pre caution has been taken against the dis charge pipes becoming clogged with the iflsh when the pumps are finally set . to isvork to float the wreck. Captain Baker had everything in readi ness to lift the steamer yesterday after noon, but the wind attained such a ve locity as to make an attempt out of the question. He had received warning from District Forecaster Edward A. Beals of an approaching storm, and Inasmuch as it broke at the appointed hour Captain Haker will henceforth place his faith In Mr. Beals and no attempt will be made to get the steamer off the rocks, until a message from the Weather Bureau re ports conditions favorable for a north west breexe. With a strong current and the wind from the south It would be too risky to attempt to get the craft into c lear water because of her being almost surrounded by sharp boulders. Charles P. Doe, manager of the North Pacific Steamship Company, who will be come owner of a half interest in the (steamer the moment she is on the dry dock, went to the scene yesterday, and made a close investigation. lie expressed himself confident that the Elder would be afloat, and in his opinion the hull Is not badly Injured or strained. J. H. Peterson, owner of the wreck, was also on deck yesterday, and he was glad that the "floating" was postponed, for he still adheres to his belief that Fri day is not a proper day for undertakings of such risky nature. "Don't try to do anything with her on a Friday, or the 13th." he told Captain Baker, "for there Is no use talking, I am superstitious." XOT RECORD PASSAGE. Darken tine Amazon Crosses Pacific Ocean In 31 Days. The American barkentlne Amazon, Cap lain 'A as. arrived up yesterday morning and tied up at the wharf of the Eastern & Western Lumber Company to discharge Koine choice pieces of oak timbers that orved her as ballast in coming across The Pacific. The timbers are the first of their kind brought here, and Captain Aas took them as an experiment. The Amazon made the run from Shang hai to the Columbia River in 31 days, nvhich Is good time, but four days longer nhan the record held by the American tarkentln Amaranth, which arrived here at few months ago after having bowled fbcrosa in 27 days. Several vessels, both fore-and-aft and square-riggers, have gnade the run in from 28 to 30 days. The Amazon Is one of the finest bar ftemlne to visit this port, and she Is Veil known here, as is also her skipper. IN COLLISION WITH LOGS. Steamer Breakwater Arrives From San Francisco and Coos. Captain Johnson, of the steamer Break water, reports having run into a field of logs adrift off Cape Mendocino on his way north from San Francisco, and several limes did the steamer bump into the pieces of the big raft lost by the steamer Frances H. Leggett a couple of weeks ago. The Breakwater arrived last night and docked at the foot of Oak street. She brought S4 passengers from San Francisco and Coos Bay. and a light cargo. Captain Johnson states that the understanding Is to keep the steamer on her present run for some time at least, the prospects for heavy traffic being excellent. JISE WEATHER OX THE SEA Gales to Be Rare Along Pacific Coast, According to Average Conditions. There will be little danger in traveling by steamer during the month of June, for, according to the average conditions of wind and weather over the North Pacific Ocean, gales eeldom visit the American Coast during that time of the year. Any severe blow that may kick up a sea will come from the southeast, but indications are that fine weatber will prevail most of the time. This information Is given out for the benefit of shipmasters and others wishing to know beforehand what to expect on the bounding billows and It forma the de ductions of careful Investigation by the F GROW hydrographic office, where records of wind and weather have been kept for the past 30 years. The pilot chart for June was Issued yesterday. While Indications point to lovely weath er conditions off the Pacific Coast, the outlook across the sea is decidedly dif ferent. Mariners in Eastern Asiatic wa ters are reminded that the season for typhoons is at hand, 24 of these storms having occurred within the month of June, 45 within the month of July, dur ing the period 1884-1897. Point Arena Light Damaged. A letter received by Captain J. P. Wer lich yesterday morning from Captain Mayo, inspector of the Thirteenth Dis trict, comprising the coast of California, confirms the report published in The Ore gonian that the lighthouse at Point Arena was badly damaged by the earthquake. The tower is standing, but is only held in position by Hs own weight and the stairway, which has fallen in such a manner to serve as a sort of a prop. The regular light has been discontinued, but a lens lantern has been substituted for it, suspending from the fog signal house. Steamer Might Become Total Loss. MOJI, Island of Kiushiu, Japan, May 18. The German mail steamer Roon, from Hamburg, March 29, for Yokohama, ran ashore in a fog today near Okio Island. Her passengers and crew were saved by the Japanese steamer Riuhi and were landed here. The Boon's bows are stove in, and H is believed: the steamer will be a total wreck. One of the crew is missing. Put Lights Out of Order. The earthquake of April 18 did much damage to lighthouses along the Califor nia coast, and the Hydrographic Office has issued notices informing masters of vessels of several changes in the lights. The intensity of the light at East Brother Island station, San Francisco bay, has been decreased by changing from a fourth-order to a ten-lantern light, as has also the light at Mare Island station. Steamer F. A. Kllburn Arrives. The steamer P. A. Kllburn, Captain Merrlam, arrived from San Pedro via San Francisco, Eureka and Coos Bay last night, bringing 400 tons of miscellaneous freight and 75 passengers.

SPEECH IN THE SENATE How Far the Courts Should Go in Any Ca&e Helped to Frame , Allison Amendment for Limited Review, WASHINGTON, May 17. The recent speech on railroad rate revision delivered in the United States Senate toy Senator Fulton, and taken in extenao from the Congressional Record, is as follows: Mr. President, I think I have been a per sistent, If not a consistent, advocate of what we have come to call the restricted or nar row review. I fully agree with the Senator from Texas (Mr. Bailey) that there Is a clear distinction between what we have called and what we mean by a restricted review and that which, we term the broad 'review. I believe, and have cci tended throughout this discussion, that under the Constitution we cannot deprive a carrier or a party af fected by the orders of the commission of the right to have every such order tested as to its constitutionality or as to whether the commission had the power or authority under the vrant of Congress to prescribe it. And I believe unless we epeciftcally give the courts the poweA to go beyond that, that is the limit to which the courts can go or will go in any case. There is and haa been a wide misappre hension as to the nature and extent of the controversy which has been going on here between the co-called "narrow" and the so called "wide" re flew adocates. There seems to be an impression among some that one party has contended that there should be no court review whatever of the orders of the commission. There has been no such contention, Mr. President. It has been con ceded by all that the parties affected by the orders of the commission have the right to have tested in court the question as to whether or not their constitutional rights have been invaded or the commission has exceeded its authority. "We have contended that the par ties have this right whether It be so written In the statute or not: that It la not neces sary to write any such authorization in the statute In order to vest such Tight In the parties affected by any order of the com mission. Broad and Narrow Review. But we contend further that If such au thorization shall be inserted in the statute. It will not in the least extend the powers of the court to inquire into or to review the orders, unless the statute shall go further and provide that the courts may also review the discretion which is vested In the com mission to make the orders, and right there I contend is the boundary line between the restricted and the broad review. The ques tion Is whether or not we shall allow the parties affected by the orders of the court to have a judicial Inquiry beyond the con stitutional question into the question of the wisdom of the exercise by the commission of its discretionary powers under the act of Congress. Clearly, such right never exists unless affirmatively and In terms granted by Congress, and neither by the original text nor as proposed to be amended Is or will such right be in-anted. Wrote Allison Amendment. Mr. President, these have been the issues. Now, the Senator from Iowa offers an amend ment to the provision we have commonly called the "venue clause"- In the pending bill. So far as that particular amendment Is concerned. In view of the criticisms which have been offered against It, I think I ought to say that I acknowledge something of re sponsibility for Its presentation here. I think I- can safely say that I am the sole, lone and exclusive author of the words "and jurisdiction to hear and determine such suits is hereby vested in such courts." I assume the responsibility for having suggested and written those words. I make no claim to having originated the thought or idea. The suggestion that some amendment of that char acter should be made has been advanced during the discussion of this bill by several. But as for the particular words here em ployed and their Insertion as proposed, I ad mit and assume entire responsibility. I sug gested them to the Senator from Iowa, and at his request put them In writing exactly as they here appear without suggestion from or consultation with any person whomsoever. Whatever of responsibility this admission en tails, I willingly assume. I undertake to say, Mr. President, and I think I can prove, that the addition of these words to this section does in no wise extend or enlarge the powers of the court to review the1 orders of the commission. Let" us take the language of the bill as it is without the proposed amendment: Jurisdiction Already Implied. "The venue of suits brought in any of the Circuit Courts of the United States to enjoin, set aside, annul, or suspend any order or re quirement of the commission shall be in the district where the carrier against whom such order or requirement may have 'been made has Its principal operating of flee." That Is the lanaruaxe of ' the bill as it stands today. I ask the Senate what does that language . mean? "The venue of suits brought in any of the Circuit Courts of the United States to enjoin, set aside, or annul' the orders of the commission shall be in cer tain Circuit Courts of the United States in certain districts. Does not that contemplate and imply that those courts shall have jur isdiction to try. "hear and determine such cases?" It has been contended, of course, that the clause quoted would not vest in the courts Jurisdiction In such cases. I have al ways contended that it would and that It is immaterial whether or not it would, because the courts would have the jurisdiction with out, an express provision granting It to in quire whether or not an order invades a party's constitutional rights. I ask Senators is it not a most illogical and absurd propo sition to assert that the venue of a certain class of cases shall be in certain districts, in certain courts therein, and yet deny that those courts have Jurisdiction Ho hear and determine them? Order Specifies the Court. Mr. Rayner. Let me ask the Senator Mr. Fulton. No; the Senator is already scheduled for the next amendment to com plete his speech, and I think he ought not to appeut in advance of the announcement. If the Senator will kindly pardon me, I must hurry along, because I have little time. I may also have to advertise dates for the future. Mr. President, whatever may be the views of Senators as to whether or not this venue clause vests the Jurisdiction in the court mentioned, I assume that everyone will ad mit that it was Intended to confer such Jurisdiction, or, at least, to acknowledge it, because, as I have said, it would be the most absurd proposition Imaginable to say to a party, "We realize that you have a right to maintain a. certain action, you may maintain a suit to test the constitutionality of the or ders of the Commission, but you must try the case in this particular court," and then when the party comes into that court to try the case deny the Jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit. Then. Mr. President, if it be a fact that the granting or acknowledgment of jurisdic tion was contemplated In this venue clause, tell me how much it adds, how much it en larges, how much It extends the jurisdiction of the courts to simply add the words "and Jurisdiction to hear and determine such suits is hereby vested in such courts.' Suppose this bill should be enacted with out changing the venue clause or adding the proposed amendment. Would it be contended that it was the purpose of Congress to desig nate the courts In which any suit to test the validity of an .order of the Commission should be brought and yet to deny to such courts jurisdiction to hear and determine such suits? What, thwik'you, was the pur pose of Inserting this venue clause? Was it intended as a delusion and a snare? Clearly the frame rs of this bill recognized the fact that suits might and would be in stituted to test the validity of orders; that under the Constitution the right to prosecute such suits might not be denied, but that Congress might designate in what court they should be prosecuted, and it was deemed Im portant so to do. hence this venue provision. But, Mr. President, do the words "Jurisdic tion to hear and determine such suits is vested in such courts" In any wise broaden the right of review? Let u see. What suits are- referred to in the amendment? Manifestly the suits the venue of which is fixed in certain courts. No other or differ ent character of suits are brought In by the amendment. Then, how can it be contended that an enlarged jurisdiction is thereby given? Simply jurisdiction to hear and. de termine such suits, namely, the suits the venue of which is provided for in the orig inal text, is granted. Was it not designed that such courts should have jurisdiction to hear and determine such? If not, why stip ulate the place of trial when there could be no trial? Right of Review Not Enlarged. Io the words "to hear and determine" en large the right of review? Clearly not. for they are words the legal import of which is well understood. "Jurisdiction to hear and determine" signifies only that the court Is empowered to hear and determine the case according to the legal rights of the parties a" they shall appear: they do not in any degree define the scope of the Inquiry. It therefore clearly appears that this amendment adds nothing to the jurisdiction of the courts ex cept to make it clear that there Is no pur pose to deny a party whatever right he may have under the constitution to a judicial In vestigation to ascertain whether or not his constitutional rights have been Invaded, or the authority- of the Commission exceeded. How far, then, under such a provision will the courts go in reviewing the orders of the Commission? In answer to that I lay down this proposition: Where Congress confides to an adminis trative board or commission such as this discretionary power, the courts will not re view or inquire into its orders or proceedings In the exercise of such discretion further than to ascertain whether or not it has exceeded the power vested in It, or, -what is the same in effect, violated the constitutional rights of a party affected! by any such order or proceed ing, unless the statute specifically and in un questionable terms authorizes it to review such discretion. Now, here you will observe no such authority Is given or implied. The provision is that all suits "brought to en join, set aside, annul, or suspend an order of the Commission" shall be brought in certain courts, which shall have Jurisdiction to hear and determine them. That Is simply a recog nition of the admitted fact that the right to bring such suits can not be denied, for. as I have said and as has been said by every Senator who has participated in this discus sion, the right to a Judicial Inquiry to ascer tain whether or not a party's rights under the Constitution have been Invaded, or the authority of the Commission exceeded, can not be denied, hence it is here recognized. True, It is not specifically provided that the inquiry shall cease when that fact has been determined, but such Is the rule, unless spe cific authority for further Inquiry be given. How Far Courts Will Go. Now. on that proposition I wish to call the attention of the Senate, just briefly without reading in extenso, to the case of the San Diego Land Company vs. National City, In 174 U. S. The court there is discussing how far judicial review of rates fixed by a com mission just such as this may be haA with out express and specific authority. This is what the court said. Justice Harlan announc ing the decision: "But it should also toe remembered, that the judiciary ought not to interfere with the col lection of rates established under legislative sanction unless they are so, plainly and pal pably unreasonable " Now notice "Unless they are so plainly and palpably unreasonable as to make their enforcement equivalent to the taking of property for pub lic use without such compensation as under all the circumstances Is Just both to the owner and to the public that is, judicial In terference should never occur unless the case presents, clearly and beyond all doubt, such a flagrant attack upon the rights of property under the guise of regulations as to compel the court to say that the rates prescribed will necessarily have the effec to deny just com pensation for private property taken for the public use." Mr. President, that Is the limit to which the court will go unless there is some specific authority found in the statute for doing other wise ; and it is reason-abl e, logical and just, because Congress in the etxercise of Its legis lative authority has vested in the Commis sion discretionary power, and the courts never review the exercise of discretionary power unless there is a specific provision for it or unless abuse of it can be shown. Mr. Bacon Will the Senator permit me to ask him a question? The Vice-President Does the Senator from Oregon yield to the Senator from Georgia? Mr. Fulton It is hard to refuse the Sen ator. I have refused others. Mr. Bacon I simply wanted to ask the Senator, referring to the proposed amend ment which he is now discussing, whether under the terms of the proposed' amendment there is any order or requirement which" It is possible for the Commission to make which this amendment does not give specific jurisdiction both to hear and to determine? Limit to Court's Jurisdiction. Mr. Fulton No, in one sense; yes, in an other. I will answer the Senator 'this way: There is no suit that may be filed attack ing the validity of the orders of the Com mission on the ground that they are uncon stitutional of which those courts will not take jurisdiction, but the court will take Juris diction simply for the purpose of protecting the Constitutional rights of the parties. The courts will inquire whether or not Consti tutional rights have been Invaded, and if they find that they have not they will drop the suit then and there and dismiss it. Mr. Bacon If that Is the case, what pos sible objection can the Senator have to the amendment offered by the Senator from Mary land, which prescribes that very thing? Mr. Fulton That is a very natural ques tion. While we understand in a general and in a sufficiently definite way to what extent the court will go in cases of this character where no specific provision for reviewing the discretion of the Commission is given, yet the Senator knows very well, because he Is an able lawyer, that when we enter upon the work of prescribing the limits of the juris diction of the fcourt to exercise Its judicial power we are treading on very dangerous ground. It Is the wiser course to let the court determine the extent of its power in that respect. How far they will go we know with sufficient certainty to be assured that un der this provision they will not review the Commission's discretion.
