THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1901. THE DAY WASTED 1 No Business Transacted in the House, GIVEN UP TO FILIBUSTERING Cannon Wanted. Consideration of the Sundry Givil Bill, While the Ml norltr Sotfpht to Promote Pri vate' Clalxno Nothing Done. WASHINGTON,-? Feb. 15. Under the leadership of Cannon, chairman of the appropriations comrpJttc,e, a long filibus ter consumed the time of the House to day. Cannon desired, the- House to pro ceed "with the 6undryclvil Appropriation bill, while the Democrats desired to de. vote the day to the consideration of pri vate claims. It -was the last day under the rules -which could be devoted to claims at this Congress ,a"nd notices had been .sent out yesterday asking the Dem ocrats to be In their seats today. As a result. "Cannon -was outwitted, but he Kept up the fight all day, forcing roll calls for three hours and later filibustering In committee of the whole. The net result was that the "whole day was wasted. In anticipation of a contest over the right of way. Underwood (Dem. Ala.), the Democratic whip, had sent out notice yesterday to all the Democrats to be In their seats today, and there was an un usually full attendance on that side of the House. When Cannon saw the drift he called across the aisle to Richardson (Dem. Tenn.), the minority leader: "You're trying to loot the Treasury again." On a rising vote, Cannon's motion tpis defeated. 62 to 74, whereupon ayes atod noes were called for and the clerk called the roll. The motion was lost, 105 to. 128, Just before the vote was announced1 Cannon changed his vote irom aye to no. In order to be in a position to move a reconsideration of the vote. Immediate ly upon the announcement of the. vote he entered his motion to reconsider. Rich ardson made the point of order that the motion was dilators. This point of 'order, coming from a Democrat, provoked some laughter. "It Is clearly dilatory," Richardson con tinued, when Cannon broke in, "The gen tleman sent out notices to secure the at tendance of his party friends." "The chair overrules the point of or der," announced the Speaker. "Then, I move to lay the motion on the table," cried Richardson. Upon a rising vote, on this motion, the opposition showed a majority, whereupon Cannon called for tellers. "I make the point that the demand Is dilatory," shouted Richardson. "I desire a little time to get our people here," called back Cannon across the aisle. "You got yours here." "The chair sustains the point of order upon the statement of the gentleman from Illinois." said the Speaker. The fact that a veteran tactician like Cannon should have thus lowered his guard and have laid himself open to such a decision provoked howls of laughter on the Democratic side. The Illinois, member was attempting to address the chair, when Moody (Rep. Mass.) called for the aVes and noes and the demand was sustained. Cannon's motion to reconsider that last vote wa laid on the table. 121 to 129. When the announcement of the -xote was inadfe Cannon and Richardson were both upon their feet, demanding recogni tion. Cannon was recognized and called up the resolution to reconsider the vote by which the bill to Issue a duplicate of a lost check drawn by William H. Comegys, Paymaster United States Army. In favor of George P. White, was passed This bill was passed on the last private bill day and a motion to reconsider was entered. There was much difficulty In getting a vote, but finally the motion to reconsider prevailed. The question wheth er the bill should pass ordinarily would have come next, but the Speaker held that a motion to postpone the further consideration of the bill until the next day upon which private bills were In or der was In order. Cannon entered such a motion and it was carried without di vision. This cleared the way for Richardson, who moved that the House go Into com mittee of the whole to consider private bills, and despite Cannon's objection, the Richardson motion prevailed, 120 to 103 and the private calendar was taken up. The remainder of the session was oc cupied in disposing of two 6mall bills in committee of the whole. Cannon con tinued to filibuster to the end, and when the bills were referred to the House he made the point of no quorum, and at B:35 the House adjourned. WILCOX IS EXONERATED. House Committee Confirms His lUpht to n Seat. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. Delegate Wil cox, of Hawaii, today scored a distinct triumph in securing a unanimous vote of the House committee on elctions No. 1, confirming his right to a seat In the House of Representatives and holding that the charges filed against him were not sufficient to warrant his removal. Chairman Tayler was authorized to make the report to that effect, which will be submitted la'about a week. After the meeting Mr. Tayler explained the general considerations which had influenced the decision of the committee. The case was not considered so much in Its technical aspects, but rather on broad grounds, all the circumstances, conditions and sur roundings applicable to Hawaii as one of our new Insular possessions being tak en into consideration. As a delegate from -a. new territory it was not felt that Wilcox should be met with the same strict conviction required. In sustaining the right of a Representa tive in Congress to his seat, as the dele gate has only limited powers, and Is little more than an agent. As to the charges of treason, the letters placed In evidence were written prior to the organic act making Hawaii a teritory, and there was no disposition to go Jntp these prior Is sues. Whatever may have been the tech nical irregularity of the election, there was the saving fact that a perfect ma chinery of election was established, a bal lot box was regularly provided, practic ally every one participated In the voting, and the will of the people was expressed. "And on broad political grounds," said Mr. Tayler, "we felt that the people of these Insular possessions should under stand that they were not to be met by mere technical objections which . would deprive them of representation." Partial Agreement on Indian Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. The conferees of the Senate and House have reported a partial agreement on the Indian ap propriation bill. The 'principal Items up on which the committee will report a disagreement are thse relating to the' San Carlos dam, allowing prospecting on Indian reservations, making the de-' cisions of the Dawes Commission for the enrollment In Indian Territory when ap proved by the Secretary of the Interior and the Slsseton and Wahpeton claims provision. Oleo Bill Will Be Called Up. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. As a result oflthe.dellberatlons of the Senate steering committee today, the oleomargarine bill wll probably be called up in the Senate tomorrow to the temporary displacement - -the ship subsidy bill. There Is every reason to believe It will fall of action. Indeed, there Is quite a general under standing that after tomorrow there will be very little consideration given to any measure except appropriation bills and conference reports. There Is considerable pressure on the friends of the subsidy bill to withdraw it. but so far they have declined to yield. There was discussion of the prospect of an extra session, and the opinion was quite general that the outlook In that direction Is favorable. More Time For Reclamation WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. Representa tive Wilson, of Idaho, from the House committee on arid lands, today filed a favorable report upon the bill to extend the provisions of the Carey act indefin itely. This act, pissed in 1835, gave to each of the arid land states 1,000,000 acres of land upon the consideration that the state would reclaim them within 10 years. Since the passage of the bill, Idaho, Utah, Montana and Wyoming have made application for the segregation of S50.000 acres for reclamation. It was found, however, that the lands could not be re claimed within the period fixed in the Carey act, and this bill extends the time indefinitely. Favor the Arid Land Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. Senator Hans brougb referred to the Interior Depart ment for an opinion on his bill provid ing that all moneys received from the sale of public lands In the arid and semi-arid regions shall be set aside as an "arid land reclamation fund," for the construc tion of reservoirs and other hydraulic works for the storage and dlvprslon of water.

The Senate committee on commerce today considered thc'iquestiQn of attaching to the river and harbor bill a provision authorizing the acquisition of right of way of the propos ed Nicaragua Canal. Senator Elklns is pressing the mater, but there Is vigorous opposition to the amendment on the ground that it would overload the jlver and harbor bill and also because It makes no definite appropriation.

Surrounded by his family, Maurice Thompson, the author, died at 3:25 this morning, after an lllnessof many weeks. He had been kept alive for several days by the use of stimulants. About 9:30 o'clock last night he became unconscious, and there was no sign of pain when the end cine. The funeral will probably be held here Monday. Mnoricc Thompson's Literary Career Maurice Thompson was born in Fair field. Ind., In 1844, and In early life re- moved with his parents to the southern part of Kentucky, and from that state to ' Salt Lake City he painted many sketches the northern part of Georgia, where he J and paintings for Brigham Young, some first attemptel to describe life as he knew i of which are now In the Smithsonian In lt from observation. Always a lover of stltutlon. He also painted portraits of THE LATE MAURICE THOMPSON. outdoor sports he cultivated many of them In that section and It was there that the author first learned the art of archery, which. It Is said, Inspired his noted work, 1 "The Witchery of Archery," which had so much to do with reviving that game in this country. He entered the Confeder ate Arms when a mere boy and obtained distinction as a scout and for his well known feats of horsemanship and his many hairbreadth escapes. It was shortly after the war that he described his old Georgia homestead in the following words r "A farmstead In the -fairest nook in that pleasant hill country known as Cher okee, Georgia, a place sure to attract at tention, so peaceful, so dreamy in Its as pect, was the home of my boyhood. The structure was of log and faced southward a scene of wonderful beauty." After the war the young hero of the Southern cause devoted some time to magazine articles, most of which were published In the South, all of them being strongly sectional and exceptionally well written. Shortly after the cessation of hostilities Thompson took up the profession of civil engineer, and It was following this voca tion that he first met Alice Lee, a charm. Ins girl of 16, who afterward became Mrs. Maurice Thompson, the bond of marriage J being sealed shortly after they became acquainted. In speaking of the marriage afterward to an old friend Thompson ,once said: "We had no money; we never thought of money. We were Just like two chil dren; and in experience were little mora than children." Soon after his marriage the profession of engineering was forsaken for the lit erary field, with the practice of law as a sldelssue. This was In 1SG7, and it was about that time that his poem on "Home Life" appeared. After settling at Crawfordsvllle. Ind., with his young wife, Mr. Thompson de voted his time almost exclusively to writ ing, and it was from there that his first book of poems was Issued. "Hoosler Mosaics" was followed by "Sylvan Se crets." then came "Bird Notes" and "The Witchery of Archerv." It was about this time that Mrs. Thompson wrote her little brochure on the same subject, proving that, aside from being an Ideal house wife, she was deeply Interested In the lifework of her husband. Maurice Thompson was not a recluse in any sense of the word. He took- his part In the business and political affairs of the world, having served his party In National conventions and his state In the halls of legislation. Mr. Thompson began writing exclusively as a means of livelihood In 1S73. He had written a great deal before this, but had oftn said that the publication of his poem, "At the Window,' marked his ad vent in the literary world. "Witchery of Archery" was written in 1ST7, and his first novel, "A Tallahassee Girl," in 1SS1. His other works have been: "Stories of the Cherokee Hills," "Ethics of Literary Art." "Toxophllus In Arca dia." "His Second Campaign," "At Love's Extremes." "A Fortnight of Folly." "The Ocala Boy." "King of Honey Island." "Hoosler Mosaics." "Songs of Fair Weath er," "Byways and Bards' Notes," "Syl van Secrets." "The Story of Louisiana," "Lincoln's Grave" (poem). "My Winter Garden." which ran serially in the Cen tury Magazine last year and has just been published In book form, and "Alice of Old Vincennes," recently Issued. Mr. Thompson was a man of striking personal appearance and of a loving na ture. He drew about him hosts of friends by his beautiful nature and his kind and loving spirit. Mamhal S. PlUe. BOSTON.

THE SHIP BILL DOOMED (Continued from First Page.) consummate effrontery" had turned upon the Senator from Rhode Island (Aldrich) and had demanded 'of him to "withdraw the bill. The Incident reminded him of the fable In which the wolf charged the lamb in the stream below with muddying the water. Chandler declared that the opposition to the subsidy bill was com posed only of a conglomerate of various political parties and Insisted that the Senate and the country would realize thoroughly that their tactics were those of filibusters and nothing else. Statement by Hnnna. Hanna addressed the Senate briefly on the bill ind was given careful attention both by the Senators and the galleries. He said that he had listened with as tonishment to many statements that had been made Concerning It by the opposi tion. Mam statements had been made, many insinuations had been suggested that would bring the blush of shame to any Senator's cheek. He had listened "to the scolding of the Senator from Colorado," but desired to remind him that the Senators were not children, and he desired him to understand that ho had a purpose and a desire to uphold and ex tend the interests of the advocates of the pending measure. He did not know, as the Senator had stated, that the bill would not pass at the present session. An honest and earnest purpose to secure the passage of the bill was being made, because its advocates believed that the enactment of the measure would tend to the upbuilding of the merchant marine and extend the shipbuilding Industry of the country. "I know something about economic measures," said he. "I think I .am en titled to the same consideration In con nection with such measures as Is ac corded to any other Senator. I do not propose to be considered as advocating any measure to loot the Treasury when I am working for the Interests of the United States." He referred incidentally to the efforts of the Senator from Colorado and other orators on the opposition stump durln? the last campaign to break down the principles advocated by the Republican party, and, shaking his finger at Teller, he added: "You got your verdict and jou will get It again." He insisted that being honest and earnest In his advocacy of the shipping bill, he should be accorded fair and just treatment. "I'll not be sidetracked," he declared, "by any Senator of the opposition. If I am to take a side track I will decide myself when I shall take It." He next resented the Insinuations that he said had been made against him as the chairman of the National Republican committee. He said he was not advocat ing the pending bill in the interests of his party, but In the Interests of the whole world. ,flt It Is the object of measures pend ing before Congress merely to get money out of the Treasury." said Hanna, In conclusion, "what Is the river and harbor bill? I say that there are provisions m that bill that would make the shipping bill look pale." Teller made a brief reply to Hanna and the Senate, at 6 o'clock, adjourned. "Will Re Brought Up Xext Seanion. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. The subsidy bill Is positively dead for this session. The meeting of the Republican leaders today positively decided that, and, more over, Frye and Hanna realize that It can not be passed this session. If there Is an extra session there Is a possibility that the bill, amended to meet the criti cism of Republican Senators, will be brought forward, and an effort made to put It through'. EXPERT TESTIMONY. Doctors on the Stand at the Hamil ton Murder Trial. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Feb. 15. The medical experts continued their testimony today In the trial of Frank H. Hamilton, on the charge of murdering Leonard Day. Dr. Erdmann, professor of anatomy for the University of Minnesota, by the aid of an articulated skeleton, and also using one of the state's attorneys for Illustra tion, showed how, In his opinion, the fatal knife-thrust was delivered from behind Day, and how, with the sharp edge of the blade toward the back of the murdered man's body, a piece was clipped out of a rib. The state's attorneys, aided by oth er medical experts, put him through a rig Id cross-examination, but failed to shake him In his dtductlons. Dr. George E. Rlcker testified as to the bruises on Hamilton's head after the af fray, and said they might all have been caused by one blow with some Instrument. Paul Gyllstrom. a reporter who covered the affair for the Times, testified that, during all the time he was at the West Hotel, Hamilton made no confession, nor did he say anything about the matter. Dr. J. L. Stone, who attended Hamilton at the jail, testified to the various contu sions on the prisoner's head, and said they probably were all made by a cane or stick of some kind. R. L. Lewis, recalled, could not remem ber whether he had sent a pair of trou sers containing a bloody handkerchief to a cleaning and repairing establishment. If so, they were not the ones he had on that night at the West Hotel. The defense.rested In the afternoon, and court adjoufned until tomorrow. The prin cipal evidence of the afternoon had to do with Evans' trousers, sent to a cleaning house the day after the murder. H. G. Robinson, an employe of the house, testi fied to having received the clothing and to having noticed a clot of blood on one leg and something like a cut about an Inch below the knee. A. G. Gilbert, an other employe, corroborated the evidence as to the bloodstain and the cut, and add ed that there was also a, tear that had been bungllngly sewed up. The defense decided not to call T. M. Ryan, the Des Moines plumber. CHINESE SMUGGLING. Hoir It Is Conducted on the Maine Border. PORTLAND. Me.. Feb. 15. The Federal authoritfes here are In possession of pa pers found on the person of Sam Wah Kee, of Boston, when he was arrested in the act of smuggling six of his country men Into the United States across the Maine border, which led to the belief that an organized band of Chinese have been engaged In smuggling their fellows Into this country, with the collusion of Gov ernment officials. Among the papers are many letters, which gave a clew to the methods employed In evading the Immi gration laws. In one of the letters Sam spoke of having successfully brought 1000 Chinamen across the border In the past dozen year. Sam, who was at one time a Chinese In spector, was at the head of the organiza tion. A Chinaman who was to be smug gled In was furnished with a certificate of earlier date, containing an original valid second sheet, with the affidavits and sig natures of two white witnesses, testifying to the applicant being a merchant In this country. To this sheet there was annexed one photograph of the man seeking admis sion, and a forgery of the United States Commissioner's seal, which was necessary to make the certificate good. The favored method, it Is said, was to cross the line in the district of some Commissioner sup posed to "friendly," and then take special pains to be arrested. A casual examina tion and an official O. K. sent the appli cants safety to their destinations. It was customary to send to candidates for admission, before they departed from China, information regadrlng the names to be assumed on entry, the date of JErJwdJlITSPKV .
