OPPOSES CONTRACT PLAN.
Colof Engineer Stovrns Wants to Dig
Panama Canal.
Washington, Feb. 8. Chief Engi
neer John F. Stevens wants to dig tho
Panama canal, and If ho cannot dig tho
big ditch without tho medium of a con
tractor, thcro is likely to be another va
cancy at the head of affairs on tho isth
mus. Tills is understood to be tho se
cret of tho mysterious holding up of tho
award of the Panama canal contract
that has oxcited inteiest and curosity
for tho last two weeks.
Everybody has been wondering why
the administration has been delaying
action on tho Olllver bid for digging
the canal. Ono theory has been that it
was dun to 11 fight between rival finan
cial In teres tfl, thoso represented by tho
contractors underbid by tho Ollivor
linn being credited with tho 'efforts to
throw out tho lower bidder and tnko
tho prize. Thcro havo been tangles re
tarding Mr. OlHvor's partners. Fin
ally a positive decision from President
Hoofevolt, Secretary of War Taft and
Chairman Shonta, of tho Canal com
mission, hns l)con postponed for two
weeks longor, ostensibly to complete
a full examination of tho Olllver bid,
but in reality, it is believed, to solve
tho problem presented by Mr. Stevens'
position.
OPPOSED TO DISCRIMINATION.
Los
Angeles Chamber on Separate
Schools for Japanese.
Washington, Fob. 8. Tho president
today received 11 telegraph io copy of n
resolution adopted yesterday by tho Los
Angeles chamber of commerce upon the
JapancHo school rjuestlou, which ex
presses tho belief that tho public soul I
merit of California, especially of tho
southern part, upon tho question of tho
exclusion of tho Japanese from tho
general public school system of tho
state has been to some extent misrepre
sented and is largely mlsuudorstood.
Tho sentiment is expressed that on tho
main question, whatever may bo tho
diversity of opinion upon the constitu
tional and legal phases, tho board Is
assured that "tho general trend of pub
lic opinion 'In Southern California Is
decidedly adverse to any discrimination
against tho Japanese us a peoplo in tho
matter of public school privileges, and
tho bolicf that this opinion Is based
upon consideration of equity ttiul Justice
is. hold altogether independent of any
attltudo which tho Japanese govern
ment has assumed or may assumo in
regard to tho question."

sion that tho barracks wero being fired

Tho next witnoss culled for by Sen
ator Foraker was Winlor Washington,
and Senator Overman asked if ho had
said Bookor Washington.
"No," said Mr. Forakor, "Bookor
Washington is too busy attending to
bis senatorial duties to vomo hero."
Ho referred to tho interest of Bookor T.
Washington in tho question of having a
negro appointed to 11 Fedoml position
In Ohio, patronage which has been re
garded as bolonglng to tho senators
from Ohio.
Washington's idea of tho Browns
ville affair was that "Moxlean Greas
ers" and "Texas cowlwys" had dono
tho shooting in order to
mako troublo
for the negro soldiers.

AMEND TIMBER LAW
Sale of Timber and Retention of
Land Recommended,
PROVISION MADE FOR COUNTIES
Will
Get One-fourth of the Proceeds
of All Timber Sales In Lieu
of Taxes.
Washington, Feb. 7. Tho scnato
commlttoo on public lands today favor
ably reported ti bill repealing tho tim
ber and stono act and providing that in
tho future tho government shall retain
tltlo to its timber lands nnd soil only
tho timber nt not less than its ap
praised vultio. Tho committco incor
porated Senator Fulton's urnondment
requiring that 25 por cent of tho money
derived from tho Bales of public timber
shall bo paid to tho counties in which
tho sales nro made.
Mr. Fulton Bcrved notlco on tho com
mittco that flomo tlmo ago ho would op
poso tho repeal of tho timber and stono
act unless one-fourth of tho receipts
from timber sales should be paid to tho
counties for oohool and road purposes,
and It was in compllanco with this do
rnand that tho bill was so amended.
Tho counties will not only rccoivo 25
por cent of Iho rccolpts from timber
sales on unreserved tlmborlnud, but
from sales within forest reserves us
well, This concession to tho counties
Is made to relmburso them for taxes
which ,they might ttltlmatoly collect
should this timber land pass Into pri
vate ownership. Under tho amended
bill tltlo to nil timber land remains in
tho government, henco tho land Itself
cannot bo taxed. This amendment,
however, does not exempt lumber com
panies and other purchasers of timber
from payment of taxes on their product.
As tho bill now stands tho secretary
of itgrclulturu will nppralso government
timber nnd sell It at public miction or
private salu to tho highest bidder for
not less than tho appraised uluo, pref
erence being given to bidders for small
quantities for use In the luiuicdluto
vicinity of tho laud. Persons actually
redding near tlmberland shall bo en
titled to Inko free of charge not exceed
ing 100,000 feet board ruensuro In any
one year for individual use, but not for
salo.
Tho hulk of tho money derived from
timber wiles after deducting 25 per cent
lor tlio counties, will go Into tho re
clamation fund, tho residue going into
tho forest reserve fund to defray tho x-
penses ol forest management and con
trol. It Is provided that tlmberland
resorved from entry for timer shall bo
suject to locution and entry under min
ing or coal land laws, and that laud
chiefly valuable for building or commer
cial stone shall bo entered under tho
placer mining laws.
BILL FOR COAL LAND LEASING.
House Committee Agrees on Provis
ions to Prevent Sale.
Washington, Fob. 7. Tho Iioiiho
committed on public lands expects on
Friday to report a bill providing for
leasing all government coal lands. At
Its meeting today so vorul features of
tho bill wero agreed to, ono permitting
four persons to form an aisociatlon and
tako collectively 2,500 acres of coal
land. Another guards against persons
acquiring coal lands under homestead
or other laws by prohibiting tho pat
enting of coal deposits ou such lauds
within 20 years after tho original entry
is patented. Thus, if 11 person should
fraudulently homestead land which lie
know contained coal, ho could not de
velop that coal for 25 years.
In tho senate public lauds committee
today Senator Nowlands presented 11
bill roquirlng three years' residence 011
a homestead before tho entryman can
commute, hut this wits voted down. At
presold 1-1 mouths' residence is all that
is required. Tho president favors Mr.
Nowlands' idea.
Congress Has no Power.
Washington, Feb. 7. Chairman
Jenkins, of tho houso committee on
Judlcittry, submitted a report toduy in
which it is stated emphatically that
thu committee is of tho opinion that
congress has no jurisdiction or author
ity over tho question of woman and
child labor, and has no right to sup
press any abuses of mich hilxr or iimo
llorato conditions surrounding tho em
ployment of such laborers. Tho com
mittee holds that tho regulation of wo
man and child labor is within thu po
lice power of tho various states.
Two More Circuit Judges.
Washington, Fob. 7. Tho somite to-
day passed tho bill authorizing tho ap
pointment of two additional circuit
judges for thu Ninth circuit, and one
additional district judge for tho North
ern Judicial district of California.
RAISt ALL RATES.
General Advance In Frolght Inaugu
rated by Eastern Lines.
! Chicago, Fob. 0. Tho first stop was
taken hero today in a plan to Inaugur
ate a general incrcoso in frolght niton
throughout tho country in such a man
ner as to bring millions of dollars add
ed revenuo to tho railroads and nt tho
witno time greatly facilttato tho inovo
merit of traffic.
As tho result pf a meeting, which
was attended by oxecutivo officials ot
railroads east of Chicago, nnd having n
total of moro than 100,000 miles of
lines, a voto is being taken upon it
proposition to increase tho rates of
nearly all of tho main commodities
fully 10 por cent by decreasing tho
minimum which It Is permitted to load
into 11 freight ear.
Tho railroads interested in tho Ini
tial movement extend through nil tho
territory east of Chicago and north of
tho Ohio river, clear to tho seaboard
nnd north into Canada. In this terri
tory frolght rates aro controlled by tho
association known as tho Central
Freight association. Tho action will
undoubtedly bo followed by tho linen
south of tho Ohio river, and then by
tho lines west of Chicago to tho Pacific
coast.
It is difficult to cstlmato how much
tho proposed increase will bring tho
railroads in added revenue, but the sum
will bo a big ono. Tnilllc olllcors,
however, state that it will not bo sufll
ciont to offset even thj Increased ex
pense to tho railroads occasioned by In
creased wages, estimated at between
1100,000,000 and $110,000,000 annu
ally. DISAGREE ON FAIR BILL.
Washington Senators and Represent
atives at Cross Purposes
Washington, Feb. 0. On Thursday
tho senate cominltteo on oxposltlona
will meet in tho room of Senator An
keny to consider and prolmbly report
tho Ankeny bill making an appropria
tion for tho Alaska, Phlllppliiound Ha
waiian exhibits at the Seatllo exposition
In 11)00. If tlio bill Is reported its
passage by tho senate is cortain to fol
low. Tho house members of tho Washing
ton delegation disapprove of tho course
ot tho senators and havo urged that no
action bu taken on tho bill this session.
While it can pars tho senate, it is abso
lutely certain that it cannot get through
tho houso this session, for tho chair
man ot the house cominltteo is not only
opposed to this exposition appropria
tion, but has fluid ho will not call hin
committee together tn consider tho hllr.
Moreover, having appropriated liberal
ly for Jamestown, tho houso leadem
will not consider the sonato bill this
winter.
In view of this situatbm thu houso
members charge that tlio senators aru
placing them in an embarrassing posi
tion by piesslug tlio bill at this tlmo,
hut their protests aro falling on deaf
eru.

No Excitement In Japan.
Tokio, Fob. 0. Tho view taken here,
of thu Amoricun-Japancso situation,
arising from tho Kan Francisco school
incident, is illustrated by tho following
olllclal statement, which was ihsued to
day; "Kincu tho talk of war was first
transmitted from America wo havo
carefully watehed tho development of
feeling here, Thcro bus not beon tho
slightest excitement any whoro in thu
country. The talk of war is completely
Ignored hero, and implicit confidence U
