2 THE MOKNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAECH 2, 1901. SUNDRY CIVIL BILL Passed by the Senate After a Long Session. CANAL AMENDMENT RULED OUT Appropriation for the Buffalo, St. Lou 1b and Charleston Exposition Were Attached an Rldera De hate on Car-Coupler Bill. WASHINGTON, March 1. During the greater part of a Ion?, tiresome session of the Senate toaay, the sundry civil bill was under consideration. At times an interesting and lively debate was pre cipitated In the first hours of the session on a resolution to discharge the commit tee on interstate commerce from con sideration of the bill requiring railroad companies to make detailed investigations of all accdents Involving loss of life on their lines and to report to the Interstate Commerce Commission. No action was taken. The old question of the ireclama tion of public lands In arid and seml arld sections of the country was brought up, but the effort to attach an amendment to the measure appropriating money for tho work was defeated. The bills appro priating $500,000 for the Buffalo "Pan American Exposition, $5,000,000 for the St Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and $250,000 for the Charleston, S. C, Interstate and West Indian Exposition, were attached to the bill as riders. At the opening of the session, a confer ence report on the bill to permit Pima County, Ariz., to issue 50-year 4 per cent bonds to redeem certain indebtedness was agreed to. Piatt (Conn.) submitted a report from the committee on relations with Cuba upon its investigation of expenditures in Cuba. It was permitted to He on the ta ble, with leave to Money to present a minority report, if he desires. The resolution of Pettigrew to discharge the committee on Interstate commerce from consideration of what Is known as the car coupler bill, which requires sworn statements of all railways to be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission, was laid before the Senate. Pettigrew pre sented many memorials from various or ganizations of railway employes urging the passage of the bill, and said that, as the committee would not act on the bill, It ought to be discharged. Hoar said that the great enterprises should be held to strict accountability for the conduct of their business, so far as It related to the safety of their employes. It ought to be known, he said, that the railroad officials were as careful of the lives of their employes as they would be of the directors of the lines. Nobody doubted, he asserted, that it would add 50 per cent to the safety of railway travel If a director of the railroad were tied to the front of the locomotive. "Wolcott, a member of the committee on interstate commerce, declared he was un willing that Hoar should make the state ment that managers and directors of the railroads of the country viewed with in difference the accidental killing of their employes. Railroad officials were men of ability, character and standing, and they devoted all their skill and vigilance to the prevention of accidents. He resented, he declared, the ridiculous statement about the tying of a railroad director Jn front of a locomotix'e. It was well known that 90 per cent of the accidents on railroads were due to the carelessness and negli gence of employes. They were a careless, brave, reckless lot of men, many of whom would not take the ordinary precautions against accidents supplied by the railroad companies. Hoar disclaimed any reflection upon the character and ability of railroad officials, but it was human nature to become care less about other things and careful about money-getting. Cullom, chairman of the committee on Interstate commerce, insisted that the bill ought to remain with the committee. Per sonally, he was in favor of legislation upon the subject, but he was satisfied that the House bill was not a proper measure, and the committee had not found it possible yet to agree upon a measure. After further debate, the hour of 1 o'clock arrived, when, under the rules, the resolution would go on the calendar, but Pettigrew moved that the Senate proceed with the consideration of his resolution. The motion was rejected, 25 to 36, the de tailed vote being: ATES. Allen Daniel Pettigrew Bacon Harris Rawlins Bate Heitfeld Taliaferro Barry Hoar Teller Butler Jones, Ark. Tillman Chandler Jones. Nev. Vest Clapp Lindsay "Wellington Clay Lodge Culberson Martin NOES. Aldrich Foraker Perkins Allison Frye Pettus Bard Galllnger Piatt, Conn. Beveridge Hansbrough Piatt, N. Y. Chilton Hawley Scott Clark Kean Sewell Cullom Kyle Shoup JJeboe McComas Simon Dillingham McCumber Stewart Dolllver McEnery Thurston Elklns McMillan "Wetmore Fairbanks Nelson Wolcott Jones (Ark.) gave notice that tomorrow he would ask the discharge of the judi ciary committee from consideration of the anti-trust bill. In accordance with the notice previous ly given, Prltichard addressed the Senate upon the resolution of Butler to refer the credentials of Senator-elect Simons, of North Carolina, to the committee on privi leges and elections, with a view to investi gating the present conditions which led up to his election. Consideration of the sundry civil bill was resumed. The first amendment taken up appropriated $15,000 for an examination of and report on the topography and geol ogy of the territory adjacent to the 49th parallel west of the 110th meridian, Wash ington. After considerable debate, a committee amendment was adopted permitting set tlers to pasture livestock on forest reser vations In Colorado, Montana and Wyo ming, with a provision that the privilege should not be transferable. An appropriation of $200,000 for gauging the streams of the United States and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells in arid and semi-arid sections was agreed to, and, on motion of Foraker, the provisions of the amendment were extended to Porto Rico. Hansbrough precipitated the old discus sion of the reclamation of arid lands by offering a substitute for the provision just adopted, providing that moneys received from the sale of public lands should be used for establishing reservoirs. Allison made a point of order against the substitute that it was general legisla tion, and the point was sustained by the Senate yeas 34. noes 20. A final conference report upon the In dian appropriation bill was agreed to. Resuming consideration of the sundry civil bill, a committee amendment was adopted, appropriating $30,000 for the edu cation of children in Alaska. The last committee amendment was that relating to the Pan-American Exposition, to be held in Buffalo, appropriating $500,000 to be disbursed by the Pan-American Ex position Company under rules to be pre scribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Cockrell offered as an amendment to the amendment, the Louisiana Purchase Ex position bill, appropriating $5,000,000 for the St. Louis fair, the amendment being J Identical with the bill as It passed the Senate. The Senate agreed to the amend ment offered by Cockrell without division, and also to an amendment for the Charleston exposition. McComas then made a point of order against the amendment as amended as general legislation, but after Vest had pointed out that the Government's solemn ple.dge had been given to the City of St. Louis, and a little further debate, the en tire amendment was agreed to. An amendment appropriating $200,000 for a revenue cutter for service in Hawaiian waters, $50,000 to be available Immediately, was agreed to. An amendment offered by Wolcott, look ing to the preservation of the cliff dwell ings In Colorado, was adopted. Galllnger offered an amendment provid ing for the printing of 16,000 copies of the "Messages and Papers of the Presidents," 10,000 copies of which should be sold to the general public at cost by the Superin tendent of Public Documents. Galllnger declared that persons were traveling over the country and selling for $36 this public document, which could be produced for $5. It was a fraud perpetrated upon the people, he said, and had been so declared a few days ago by a New York court. The amendment was agreed to. An amendment offered by Scott, setting aside a part of Rawlins Park, In the Dis trict Of Columbia, for a building for the Daughters of the American Revolution, was adopted. An amendment offered by Fairbanks, providing that the commissioners hereto fore appointed to codify the penal laws of the United States shall codify all laws of a permanent and general nature, was adopted. Morgan offered an amendment authoriz ing the President to acquire from Nica ragua and Costa Rica territory sufficient for the construction of the Nicaragua Ca nal, and appropriating $10,009,000 for that purpose. Allison made the point of order against the amendment that It was general legis lation. Morgan contended that all the legisla tion which had ever been secured for the canal had been accomplished In connec tion with aproprlatlon bills. He said that $1,300,000 had already been spent in con nection with the canal. Allison's point of order was sustained, and Morgan ap pealed. The Senate then, at 6:10 P. M took a recess until S:10 o'clock. At the night session the appeal taken by Morgan from the decision of the chair upon his canal amendment was the pend ing question. Morgan asked unanimous consent that his amendment go on the bill, but Lodge objected. Morgan then addressed the Senate upon his amend ment. He said he was not surprised at an objection coming from Lodge, as he declared the Massachusetts Senator con sistently and uniformly had opposed canal legislation. He charged that the influ ence of the old Panama Canal had been felt In this chamber, and was still being felt. He did not intimate, however, what sort of influence was being exercised. Morgan declared his belief that the President of the United States was In favor of his amendment, and he chal lenged any Republican Senator to declare that the President opposed It. The Ala bama Senator Insisted that he was fight ing for the honor of the President and the people of tho United States, to enable the President to" carry Into effect our agreements with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Daniel having interposed to justify non-action until we heard from Great Britain, Morgan said: "When do you expect to hear from Great Britain?'.' "The Senator knows as much about that as I do." replied the Virginia Senator, "but I thinks that, having negotiated with a copartner Jn such a matter as this. It would not be becoming In the United States to break off the negotiations while the two parties are consulting about it." The vote on the appeal from the chair's decision that the amendment was not in order resulted in sustaining the chair's decision, 36 to 16. The Senate agreed to the Potomac bridge project, limiting the cost of the bridge to $5,000,000, $100,000 to be immedi ately available. An attempt to secure a vote on the bill disclosed the absence of a quorum, and the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to bring In the absentees. At 1:15 a quorum appeared, and the sundry civil bill was passed. The Senate then went into executive session, and shortly after adjourned. Accepted Morgan's Terms. NEW YORK, March L H. H. Porter, chairman of the Federal Steel Company, said today that the directors of that company have informally considered the terms offered by the United States Steel Corporation and have practically agreed to accept them. Formal action may not be taken for sometime. Mr. Porter de clared that It will' not be necessary for the stockholders of the company to vote on the proposition. John W. Gates Is quoted by a news bureau as saying that the directors of the American Steel & Wire Company have agreed to the terms of the Mor gan syndicate.

WASHINGTON, March L A pro tracted conference struggle on the river and harbor bill is promised. The con ference began Informally even before the House conferees were appointed. But as there are 299 items of difference, some of them up to the $1,000,000 mark, there is little prospect of even a partial agree ment before Sunday. The matter was further complicated by the reference of the bill back to the river and harbor committee. The Boston harbor, Butter milk channel, N. Y.; Curtis Bay, Balti more harbor, Galveston inner channel, Oakland and San Pedro, Cal., harbors, the Allegheny, Big Sandy and Brazos Rivers and the arid land reservoirs are among the chief Items causing serious division.

Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, chairman of the Senate committee on relations with Cuba, today submitted to the Senate the report of that committee upon the result of its Investigations into irregularities In Cuba. The committee details the extent of its Investigations, but makes no recommen dation beyond that connected with thft following paragraph: "In the opinion of the committee the information obtained Is so full and spe cific as to render further Investigation and inquiry unnecessary, especially In view of the fact that the alleged frauds in connection with the postal revenues of the Island aro now being Investigated by the courts of Cuba In cases where officials alleged to have embezzled or mis appropriated postal funds are being pros ecuted. The investigation cost $14,934." Submarine Boat Deadlock. WASHINGTON, March L A rather un usual deadlock is in progress on the three submarine boats of the Naval bill. The House conferees decline to report a disa greement, holding that the Senate must first pass on the matter. The Senate conferees are equally insistent. Much personal feeling has been excited, with the intimation that the Naval bill would be allowed to fall. Owing to the lively character of the controversy, Foss, senior House conferee, who has been sick at home, has determined to come to the Capitol and reinforce the House conten tion against the boats. There are 14 Items in the bill still in dispute. Vetoed by the President. WASHINGTON, March 1. The Presi dent today vetoed the House bill to refer certain claims for Indian depredations to the Court of Claims. The President points out that some of the beneficiaries under the bill already have had their claims dis allowed by the Court of Claims, and that all the claims should be disallowed on the principle that they arose during the pendency of tho war wlth-the Indians. NEW YORK'S AWAKENING. Stimulating Effect on Other Parts of the Country. NEW YORK. March 1. Bishop Potter, who has returned from a visit to Jeckyl Island, Ga., discussed briefly the most re cent developments in the anti-vice crusade inaugurated by him. He said that the awakening of public sentiment In New York had produced a stimulating effect all over the country and that good people everywhere had been aroused to a sense of their responsibility. "This movement differs from any other that we have seen," said the Bishop. "The institutions of religion, of education and of social reform acs all united In the work. One of the most hopeful signs is that the men of the labor unions are In terested and have their representatives on the committee of fifteen. Every pre vious effort at reform has been attempted by a minority not a political, but a social, minority. Social lines have been broken In the present instance, and among all classes there Is a growing de sire for better things. "There can be no doubt of the strength of the sentiment that has been created In favor of radical reforms in our city. What is needed now for the coming cam paign is the unification of all the "forces that are in favor of good government. Everybody opposed to the present system should labor to that end, and then there can be no failure." Dr. Kennedy's Double. NEW YORK, March L Attorney Moore, of the counsel of Dr. Kennedy, whose second trial for the murder of Dolly Rey nolds resulted in a disagreement of the Jury, declares that he has found a man who looks like the twin brother of Dr. Kennedy, and who was a personal friend of Dolly Reynolds. He said further: "I am of the opinion that this man was with Dolly Reynolds at the Grand Hotel the night she was murdered. I do not want to be understood as saying that this man killed Dolly Reynolds, but If he were to come to the front he could clear Dr. Kennedy of the charge under which he now rests." The attorney further said that he had Informed District Attorney Phllbln of thi3 fact, and had furnished Mr. Phllbln with the man's name, asking him to send for him. He added that Mr. Phllbln told him that he did not wish to interfere since he has placed the prosecution In the hands of Assistant District Attorney Mclntyre, and nothing was done. ' MILITIA PREVENTS LYNCHING Shenkle Firinlly Landed in the Illin ois Penitentiary. CARROLTON, III., March L Guarded by four companies of state militia to pro tect him from a mob determined on lynch ing, Albert Shenkle. who December 25 last, criminally assaulted the 16-year-old daugh ter of Charles H. Dlller. of Carrollton, was early today taken from the County Jail at Springfield and brought to Carroll ton on a special Chicago & Alton train. Within an hour after arrival Shenkle had pleaded guilty, been given an indeter minate sentence by Judge Thompson and was on his way to the prison at Chester. Apparently nearly the whole population of the town was gathered around the depot and along the streets leading to the Courthouse, but the troops forming a cordon around the train as soon as it stopped and surrounding Shenkle when the latter, heavily shackled and accom panied by Sheriff Conley, alighted from the train, prevented any hostile demon stration, If any had been planned. The prisoner, with apparent unconcern, puffed a cigarette as the column began the march down the street leading from the station to the Courthouse, but three quarters of a mile distant. The march was without incident. Shenkle was es corted into the courtroom by the troops under command of Adjutant-General Reese, which then withdrew and sur rounded the building. None but court at taches, a squad of militia and newspaper correspondents were allowed In the court room and the proceedings bore all the as pects of a military trial. The warrant charging Shenkle with criminal assault on little Grace Dlller was read and the prisoner asked what plea he would make. "I plead guilty," said Shenkle. "The Judgment on your plea Is that you will be confined in the penitentiary at Chester, there to remain until you are discharged In the due process" of the law," said Judge Thompson. The court arose, and without a word the condemned prisoner extended his hands for the shackles. A moment later the military formed a guard around the Sheriff and his prisoner, and marched down the street for the station. Within five minutes after their arrival the train departed for Chester. At Godfrey 20 members of the engineer corps of Springfield took charge of 'Shen kle. He was taken as far as East St. Louis on the special train, under escort, and then turned over to Sheriff Conley, who proceeded with him to the Chester penitentiary. The remainder of the troops returned on their special train to Spring field, where they disbanded. Shenkle made a full confession of his crime to an As sociated Press correspondent this morn ing, while en route from Springfield to Carrollton. "I would never have done it If I had not been drunk," said Shenkle. "I was too drunk to understand what I was do ing, and I made no attempt to run away." The chief concern of the prisoner ap peared to be regarding the length of his term of imprisonment. "I am- going to plead guilty," he said. "I know I could beat the case if I stood trial, but what chance has a fellow got when a mob is after him? I would rather go to the prison for & year or so than to bo hanged." Branded His Child. SAN FRANCISCO, March L Because Jacob Johansen, a porter, believed his 9-year-old son told a He, he scarred his cheeks, ears and hands with a red-hot poker. When arrested, Johansen justified himself by quoting the scriptural injunc tion of sparing the rod and spoiling the child. He also said a Sunday school sup erintendent advised him to punish tho boy. Johansen is thought to be insane. A San Francisco Murder. SAN FRANCISCO, March L Adolph Bletz shot and killed a woman known as Rose Thomas, or Rose Temple, in a Taylor-street lodging-house shortly after 8 o'clock tonight. He fired three bullets Into her head. Bletz then placed tho muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and fired a shot Into his own head, which will probably prove fatal. Bletz Is said to be a wealthy Eastern man. Short in His Accounts. PITTSBURG. Pa., March 1. Bank Ex aminer Slack had C. H. Sledle, Individual bookkeeper of the Third National Bank, of this city, arrested today for an alleged shortage in his accounts of $36,000.

Y., made an Important capture last night, when he arrested Jules Coutre, of Rouse's Point,' N. Y., driving eight Chinamen across the boundary line of Canada Into the United States, near Champlaln. To Investigate Bribery. DENVER, March 1.

A Horrible Death. CHICAGO, March 1. Mabel Preston, a nurse at the Michael Reese Hospital, and the daughter of a prominent physician in Mason, la., met a horrible death in the elevator shaft on the fourth floor of the building last night. From a position on a raised platform the young woman was looking over the wire netting Into the shaft to see what was delaying the car, when the Iron weights, weighing 700 pounds, descended on her neck, almost severing her head from the body. Oil Found In New Mexico. CARLSBAD, N. M., March 1. OH has been struck 30 miles below this place, near the Texas state line, and almost on the line of the railroad. It was found at a depth of SO feet, and bubbled up from the bottom of the well like a spring. An examination of the district disclosed strong indications of oil over nearly 1.000,000 acres of otherwise valueless land. There Is considerable excitement here over the discovery, and many claims will be filed during the next few days. Daily Treasury Statement.

VETERANS WILL PARADE SETTLED THEIIt DISPUTE WITH THE INAUGURAL COM3IITTEE. Will Participate an an Encort to the President From the White Hontie to the Capitol. WASHINGTON, March 1. The dispute between the Inaugural committee and the war veterans over the matter of prece dence In the parade Monday resulted to day In a compromise under which the veterans will take part to a certain ex tent in the ceremonies. At a conference between Secretary Root, General Francis Greene, grand marshal of the parade, and General Daniel E. Sickles, it was decided that the local and visiting Grand Army veterans will form the honorary escort to the President from the White House to the Capitol March 4. The further con clusion was reached that the veterans will not participate in the afternoon parade and the return from the Capitol to the White House, but after the procession has passed through the court of honor thijy will be reviewed by the President. There has been considerable controversy for several days as to the part the Grand Army veterans would take, and until the developments of today it was thought that tho veterans would decline to par ticipate at all. According to the orig inal programme they were detailed to bring up the rear of the military grand division of the parade. They refused to accept this position, and General Greene thereupon requested that a detail of 20 men from each G. A. R. Post form the honorary escort to the President. This assignment was likewise refused. In view of this situation, the President delegated Secretary Root to express to General Greene and General Sickles his desire that tho difficulties be agreeably adjusted, and the outcome has been as stated. Commander-in-Chief R. G. DryenfArth, of the Union Veterans Union, has Issued a circular directing the members of that organization to assemble at the proper lo cation next Monday morning to act as an escort to the President to the Capitol The circular adds: "Every comrade will fully understand that the veterans are placed In the post of honor by the President, and each man will show his appreciation of the distinc tion by being present." General Heywood, commandant of ma rines, has issued an order directing one regiment of marines, consisting of three battalions of four companies each, and the Marine band, with the required number of officers, to assemble In Washington for the purpose of participating In the Inaugural parade. Colonel P. C. Pope will have command of the marine detachment. The college men Invited to participate In the Inaugural parade have been as signed to form the first brigade of the third division of the civic section of the pageant. General O. O.

The training ship Dixie, now on Its way to Washing ton to participate in the naval display, ran aground off Maryland Point this afternoon. At last reports she was still hard and fast. Enlistment in the Navy. . NEW YORK. March 1. Officers of the Brooklyn Navy-Yard are much encour aged by the number of enlistments now coming in from all parts of the country. Rear-Admiral Henry C. Taylor, who, while he has been in command of the receiv ing ship Vermont, has devised many plans to increase the enlistments, said: "There is little danger that the Navy wlll be very short of men In the near fu ture. At the present the outlook Is bright. About two years ago the alarm was raised that the Navy would soon be without men to man the different ships already in commission, much less the new ones In process of construction. What might be termed the scare about lack of men is now over. With "the number of new recruiting plans that have been tried the Navy has found new resources to SPRING March -April - "Last spring I had a lot of sores on my face. They looked very bad, and I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before tha first bottle was half gone, I began to im prove. I continued with the medicine until the sores had left my face. I am now stronger and healthier than ever before." John E. Moungoven, Point Arena, Cal. draw from, and there Is little doubt that we will be able to get enough men at all times." LEGISLATED OUT OF OFFICE PlttHbnrj? and Allegheny Officers Will Fight the Ripper Dili. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 1. The Pitts burg Ripper bill, which passed the Legis lature yesterday, will be fought vigor ously by the present city officers of Pittsburg and Allegheny, who, under tha provisions of the new act are legislated out of office. In a signed statement. i Mayor William J. Diehl, of this city, says he will retain his position as Mayor of Pittsburg until the highest courts de clare otherwise. Without the seal of Pittsburg, no municipal acts are legal, and he asserts that he will keep the seal until the Supreme Court of the United States decides that he has no right J to uso It. The battle ground, he says, will be In the courts and not In the city hall, as a seal in his office will not vest the new recorder with the rights to be the city's executive.
