THE MOT?NTV OREONI,N. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1901. BILL IS LAID ASIDE Ship Subsidies Sidetracked for the Present. APPROPRIATIONS TAKEN UP Senator Bacon Denied the Right of Departments to "Withhold Official Information The Sampaon- Schler Controversy. WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. The ship sub sidy bill was laid aside informally by the Senate today to permit consideration of the appropriation bills. This action was taken late In the day on Allison's re quest that the District of Columbia ap propriation bill be taken up. Frye, in charge of the shipping bill, who had said he would not give way to appropriation bills without a vote of the Senate, was not In the chamber at the time; but Aldrich, Hanna and others Interested in the meas ure were present and joined in the gen eral assent given to Allison's request. The shipping bill holds its place and as the unfinished business can be taken up when the appropriation bills are not oc cupying attention. The District of Co lumbia bill will occupy the attention of the Senate tomorrow. The greater part of the time of the Senate was given to listening to a speech by Bacon on the right of the Senate to demand informa tion on file In the executive departments. He took the position that the departments are the creatures of Congress and that departmental denial of any demand for papers on file was preposterous, con tending that for 100 years there had been practically no refusal to recognize this right. Secretary Long's letter regarding Santiago naval rewards caused a discus sion, in which Senators upheld their course In this matter. A resolution of the California Legis lature, inviting the members of the Sen ate to witness the launching of the bat tleship Ohio at San Francisco, in the Spring, was read. After some discussion as to whether legislative business could be transacted under the terms of the agreement by which the Senate met, the Senate decided that it could not do so, and a motion was carried that the Senate proceed immedi ately to the hall of the house. Just before proceeding to the House, President pro tem. Frye, who is the manager of the subsidy bill In the Sen ate, remarked jocularly: "Senators, I should like to take a, vote on the shipping bill now." (Laughter.) "I object," said Jones (Ark.). "I've Just counted the Senate and I will say to the Senator that It would be rather unfortu nate for him if a vote were taken at this time." The Senate resumed its sitting at X o'clock, and Rawlins presented the cer tificate of election of Thomas Kearns as Senator from Utah, to fill a vacancy. Mr. Kearns was escorted to the president's desk by Rawlins and the oath of office was administered by President pro tem. Frye. Kearns was assigned, a seat on the Democratic side of the chamber, where a number of other Republicans are lo cated. His desk was ornamented with a wreath of American Beauty roses. Upon motion of Allison, 11 o'clock was fixed as the time of meeting by the Sen ate for Its daily cessions until otherwise ordered. Pettigrew called up and the Senate passed a bill providing for the entry of lands on the lower Brule Indian reserva tion, in South Dakota. At the instance of Chandler, the Sen ate passed a resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Navy for a list of mem bers of Admiral Sampson's fleet whose names were sent to the Senate for pro motion during the 55th Congress. Mr. Chandler said the occasion for his presen tation of this resolution was found In the published letter written by Secretary Long to Senator Morgan. He called at tention to the fact that while the list of officers for promotion had been sent to the Senate during the last Congress, the President, upon failure to act in that Congress, had not renewed the recom mendation for the present Congress. He explained that the failure of the Senate to act had been due to the Sampson Schley controversy. Hale said that no fault could be found with Congress, and he repeated what Chandler had said as to failure of the nominations to secure confirmation dur ing the last Congress. Indeed, he said, he considered that Congress had been entirely too liberal In recognizing the "pic turesque exploits" of the Spanish war. He referred to the tying up of all nomi nations because of the Sampson-Schley controversy and added that he had been waiting during the entire 56th Congress expecting that the President's recom mendation Would be renewed. Pettigrew said there had been an ef fort to promote Sampson over Schley, "notwithstanding Schley had done the fighting and had previously outranked Sampson." He said the President after ward had corrected this Injustice, and that, having done this because of the attitude of the Senate, that body did not deserve the Secretary's criticism. Pro ceeding, Pettigrew declared that the Ad ministration was disposed to promote men "who had never smelt powder, like Corbln and Shatter." After a few further remarks on the Sampson-Schley controversy, during w hich Teller and Morgan criticised the Navy Department for giving the Long letter to the newspapers, vBacon addressed the Senate upon his resolution declar ing It to be the sense of the Senate that that body had the right to demand infor ' matlon and documents on file in the exec utive departments. He had made the resolution impersonal, he said, but he pred icated much of what he said upon the refusal of the Secretary of War, through the President, to supply the Senate the report made by Auditor Lawshee con cerning the Cuban postal accounts. Bacon said the refusal in the Lawshee case was a direct challenge of the Sen ate's right to call or secure official docu ments on file In departments. Spooner asked Bacon if he considered the President's communication a chal lenge. "I do, most emphatically," replied Ba con. "It constitutes such a challenge as requires an answer from the Senate. This Is very much enlarged by the gravity of the fact that newspaper publications In dicate It as not only the action of. the President, but the action of the Cabinet, and we are now confronted with the fact that there is a general and organized pur pose of the Cabinet, as avowed, to deny to the Senate the right of Information to be 'found In the files of the department unices the chief of the department may, as a matter of grace, send In his per mission to permit the Senate to have such Information." Bacon thought It important that the dignity and authority of the Senate should be maintained. Spooner gave no tice that he would reply to Bacon at some opportune time, when It would not Inter fere with the shipping bill or other pres sing measures. Allison then called up the District of Columbia appropriation bill, the shipping bill being laid aside informally to permit progress on the appropriation bill. At 6 o'clock the district bill was laid aside. The Joint resolution providing for the appointment of three Senators and three Representatives to make arrangements for the Inauguration of the President and Vice-President was taken up. On mo tion of Spooner. It was amended by strik ing out Vice-President, and then passed. The Senate went Into executive session at 6:05 and soon afterward adjourned. THE SPANISH CLAIMS BILL. Passed the House, Bnt Not as It Came From the Senate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. The House to day passed the Senate till to create a commission to adjudicate the claims of United States citizens against Spain, which the Government of the United States assumed by the treaty of Paris, after having amended the bill so as to re fer the claims to the Court of Claims, in stead of a commission. A strong effort was made to vote down the amendment and pass the Senate bill, but the advo cates of this course were defeated by a majority of 35. A bill was, without de bate, passed to extend the charters of National banks for another period of 20 years after 1902, when the present exten sion will expire. Bills to ratify the agree ment with the Crow Indians of Montana and to provide for the redemption of Ha waiian coin at par were defeated. About an hour was spent on the postofflce appro priation bill In the discussion of an amendment to reduce the railway mall payments, but no action was taken. The House met at 12:55, Immediately after the conclusion of the Marshall ex ercises, and took a recess at 1 o'clock to permit the hall to be cleared of the chairs which had been brought in to accommo date the guests of the occasion. After the recess the House took up the consideration of the Senate hill to create a commission to adjudicate the claims if citizens of the United State against Spain which the United States agreed to assume by section 7 of the Treaty of Paris. This bill had been postponed until today by order of the House. The House passed the Senate bill for a commission to adjudicate the Spanish War claims, with an amendment to refer the claims to the Court of Claims. The vote stood 123 to SS. The House passed the bill for the ex tension of the charter of National banks. The bill had been reported with an amendment, to refer the claims to the Court of Claims, that action having been taken in accordance with the instructions of the House when the bill was recom mitted at the last session. Haugen (Rep. la.), In charge of the bill, asked the House to vote down the amend ment and pass the original bill. This course led the opposition, under the lead of Underwood (Dem. Ala.), to charge that the consideration of the bill had been agreed to under a misapprehension. Gros venor (Rep. O.) argued in favor of the passage of the original Senate bill. He said that no more than $29,000,000 claims were on file at the State Department. Un derwood urged that the amendment should be adopted; first, because the House, after full discussion on previous occasions, had instructed the committee to bring In such amendment, and second ly, because the Government already had a well-equipped court for the trial of just such claims. By 123 to SS the House decided that the Court of Claims was the tribunal to ad judicate the claims, and the bill was then passed without division, as was a bill to extend the charters of National banks for 2C years, from 1902, when the present charters will expire. Lacey (Rep. la.) moved the passage, un der suspension of the rules, of the Senate bill to ratify an agreement with the Crow Indians, in Montana. Cannon (Rep. 111.) opposed the bill. The lands which the Government was to purchase from the Crows, he said, were not worth $100,000, much less $1,100,000, which the Government was to pay. "I am opposed," said Can non, "to buying any more gold bricks aft er 20 minutes' debate on a side, under suspension of the rules." Maddox (Dem. Go.) and Grow (Rep. Pa.) also opposed the "bill, which was defeated, 34 to 48. Knox, chairman of the committee on territories, moved the passage, under suspension of the rules, of the bill to re deem Hawaiian sliver coins not abraded below lawful statute, at par and recoln them Into standard silver coins of the United States, the abraded coins to be re ceived at bullion value. Wilcox, the Ha waiian delegate, was asked to explain the relative value of native and American sil ver in Hawaii. He said that both circu lated at par, but gold commanded a pre mium. Wilcox's English was broken. He was offered time to give his views in ex tenso, but declined to do so. The bill was defeated, TO to 55 two-thirds not having voted in the affirmative. The Indian appropriation bill was sent to conference. Sherman (Rep. N. T.), Curtis (Rep. Kan.) and Little (Dem. Ark.) were appointed conferees. The House then resumed consideration of the postofflce appropriation bill. H. C. Smith (Rep. Mich.) continued his speech In favor of his amendment to reduce rail way mail payment Without action on the amendment, the House, at 5:25 P. M., ad journed. AGAINST CHINOOK INDIANS. Bill for Relief of ICntlilamet Band Turned Down. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. The House committee on Indian affairs has ordered an adverse report upon the bill for the relief of the Kathlamet band of the Chinook Indians of Oregon, which pro vides that their claim shall be referred to the Court of Claims, waiving lapse of time. The report, made by Represen tative Lacey, of Iowa, Is In substance as follows: "The bill concedes that the lands 'are in the possession of and belonging to the Kathlamet band,' and waiving lapse of time, the Court of Claims would have nothing to do but to ascertain how much money was received by the United States Government from the sales of the lands 'belonging to the Kathlamet band as 'conceded and described in the first ar ticle of an unratified and unconfirmed treaty.' The effect of the bill is to con cede the claim, and practically leave noth ing for the court to do but to state the account as upon an undisputed claim. "When the treaty upon which the claim Is based came up, nearly 50 years ago, the Senate refused to ratify It. It was one of a series of similar treaties, all of which were left unratified. "We find no reason for the present rec ognition of this old treaty, which did not at the time of its execution command the approval of Congress. The treaty only gave the Indians a small amount for their alleged rights, and it is evident from its terms that the claims upon which It was founded were not regarded as valuable at the time of its execution, In 1851. This bill does not propose to accept the value of the Indians' claims as stated in the treaty, but only to regard that part of the treaty as binding which assumes title in the Indians, and then It proposes to allow the Indians all that the Govern ment has received from the sales of these lands. "We do not find any merit In the claim." Cruse Brought Ont. HELENA. Mont, Feb. 4. Thomas Cruse, a Helena millionaire, received 17 votes for Senator today.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Senators in charge of the ship subsidy bill today gave notice that, beginning next Wednesday, they would seek to have the Senate sit regularly at night to consider the meas ure.

General Urlbe Says the Uprising in Venezuela Is Not Serious. NEW YORY. Feb. 4. General Rafael Uribe, of the Colombian revolutionary party, arrived today on the steamship Philadelphia. He said: "At present the conservative party in Colombia Is divided. The branch in power is weak and caters to the Ignorant masses. The revolutionists are all over the country in guerrilla bands, but they are alert. The military leader of the rev olutionists Is General Vargas Santos, who is now at Curacao. The Conservatives have not found a man to replace the late General Plnzof. I have just come from Venezuela, and have had opportunity to determine that General Castro's army is strong. General Andrade, now in Cuba, has no following. I regard his expedition as futile. The real peril In Venezuela lies In Manuel Casaboanca, the present Colombian envoy. He was born In Vene zuela, and It is suspected that he was selected by the Maroquin Government to foment a revolution against Castro and to enable the Colombian Conservatives to send troops surreptitiously to the aid of the Venezuelan xevolutlonlsts." SIclc Soldiers on the Warren. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4. The 464 sick soldiers who came from Manila on the transport Warren were landed at the Pre sidio general hospital.

His regiment has the distinction of being the first to scale the walls of Pekln, and his regimental flags were the first colors planted on the "walled city." When the Warren was leaving Manila Bay, December 30, one of the assistant En. gineers misunderstood a signal and sent the vessel ahead Instead of astern, with the result that the British steamer Mogul was struck and considerably Injured.

NATION ARRESTED TAKEN IN CHARGE BY TOPEKA PO LICE WHILE "JOINT SMASHING." Free Fight Between Saloon Men and Her Sympathizers More Trouble Promised for Today. TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 4. Mrs. Nation this morning entered the drug store of B. F. Sim, and announced that she was ly ing in wait for members of the Legisla ture. She walked behind the prescrip tion counter and examined all the differ ent kinds of liquor kept on tap. As the members of the Legislature came in she conducted them behind the counter and asked them to drink. They refused in each case, however, not because they did not want the Hauor, as they nad gone to the store to get some, but for reasons best known to themselves they preferred not to get it from Mrs. Nation. Mrs. Nation said she was from Ken tucky and knew all the different kinds of liquor as soon as she tasted them. She tasted the liquors in the drug store, and pronounced many, of them excellent. Be fore leaving, however, she warned, the druggist to dispose of his stock at once, or his store would get smashed. "You have a nice store here," she said, "and I would hate to spoil It, but you must watch out or I will." Mrs. Nation gathered a half-dozen of her helpers late this afternoon, and at tempted to enter the Clipper restaurant "Joint" on Sixth street, owned by F. W. Murphy, for the purpose of wrecking it. Mrs. Nation has been here so long that she has become familiar to the watchers at the "joints," and she did not succeed In getting near the place in question be fore she was recognized, and immediately a dozen strong men were at the door to prevent her entrance. The little band of women struggled valiantly against the superior strength of the ruffians who were trying to keep them out of the saloon. In the melee two of the women were thrown down and their hatchets taken from them. Mrs. Nation's face was slightly cut by her hatchet. By this time the police arrived and took the women in charge. As the women were being taken to the police sta tion they were followed by 1000 or more jeering, hooting men, most of whom were the negro watchers employed to keep the women out of the "joints" and to do them violence if they persisted in entering. There were a number of Mrs. Nation's sympathizers in the crowd and they gave her the protection the police seemed un able to give. One "Joint" man, who was a little overzealous, insisted that Mrs. Nation be killed, and punctuated his re marks with a great deal of picturesque language. Mrs. Nation turned to rebuke him. when he tried to hit her. A man near by give the would-ne assaulter a blow In the face. Then the fight became general. Several fist fights were In prog ress all the way to the station, and it seemed as If somebody would be serious ly hurt before the game proceeded much farther. At the police station Mrs. Nation was formally charged witn disturbing the, peace, and her name was entered on the docket. The Police Judge was at the station, and Mrs. Nation refused to go to see him regarding her offense, but in sisted that he come to her, which he did. Mrs. Nation was Informed that she would have to report for trial at the Police Court tomorrow morning and was then released on her own recognizance.

While she was praying a drunken man was brought In by an officer. Mrs. Na tion Immediately went to him and In formed him that she was his friend at all times, even though the policemen were not. She then delivered an address to the members of the police force present, which was full of the most scathing abuse that she was capable of giving. She said that they would permit the "joints" to run In open violation of law all the while, and would then arrest the men who were made drunk by all the liquor sold there. Mrs. Nation taunted the police, calling them cowards, afraid to arrest anybody but women and drunken men. They an grily flushed under her accusatlpns. On leaving the police station Mrs. Na tion encountered George Klour, one of the most notorious "Jolntists" of the city. She asked him If he was a "Jointist." He tremblingly replied that he was not, "Well, then, you ought to be out help ing us close the 'Joints,' " sold Mrs. No tion. "Oh, I am going to leave town tonight," said Klour, and the crowd hooted with delight. Many of them were not sympa thizers with Mrs. Nation, but they en Joyed the famous "Jolntlst's" confusion. Followed by the crowd, Mrs. Nation then went to the Federal building, where she Inquired for her mall. She then mounted the steps of the building and made an address to the crowd. She sold she would smash all the "Joints" of the city, and she would stay here long enough to accomplish this purpose, if It took months. She was not afraid, she said, as she had no reason in the world to be. There were many women in the city who would help her, she said, and they would do so 'at the proper time. Mrs. Nation did not Intend to begin the "Joint" raids until tomorrow. "While she and the other women were In a store buying the hatchets which were to be used In the raid, a woman came in who sold her son had spent all his money in Murphy's place the night before. "Well, let's go and smash it right now," said Mrs. Nation, and the other women agreed. Some Interesting developments are looked for tomorrow. Mrs. Natln declares she will enter the "joints" and smash them, while the "Jolntists" are equally certain that she will not: The "Jolntists" have negroes hired to watch their places of business, and they have orders to shoot down any person, man or woman, who attempts to enter the "Joint" bent on mis chief.

Duty on Russian. Sugar. NEW YORK, Feb. 4. According to a special from Washington to the Journal of Commerce, there are two aspects to tho problem of whether a countervailing duty shall be laid upon sugar imported from Russia, on the ground that the system of regulating sugar production in Russia Is equivalent to a bounty, which will bo carefully considered by Secretary Gage before announcing a decision. Tho facts appear to indicate that there is no payment by the Russian Govern ment to the susar-crowers, but a con siderable tax is levied and production Is restricted to a given amount for each establishment. The excess of production must be marketed abroad, but the gross production, Including that sold abroad, contributes to the adjustment of tho al lowance of the production of the following year. It la in the interest of producers who desire to increaso their future Quo ta to purchase the certificates of expor tation from those whe nave produced a surplus, but are leas concerned to in crease their quota. It is contend ed by the advocates of a counter Tolling duty that the entire ma chinery is under the control of tho gov ernment and that the exporter does, in fact, receive a bounty through govern ment intervention. It is contended that there is no bounty involved, but that the entire arrangement is a sort of pooling contract between different sugar manufac turers, who are taxed heavily in any event, and receive no substantial aid from their government. .
