THE MORNING OREGONIAN, Fill DAY, DECEMBER 20, 1901. DE ARMOND EXPLAINS IT HIS RELATION TO RURAL FREE DE LIVERY IX MISSOURI. HoBfie Decides to Take Up the Canal Bill January 7, aad Continue Debate to Settlement. WASHINGTON, Dec 13,-Before the House, adjourned today over the holiday recess, a Bpeclal order was made for the consideration of the Nicaragua Canal bill, beginning: Tuesday. January 7, and to continue unlll the bill is disposed of, the order not, however, to interfere with revenue or appropriation bills. The ses sion of the House was brief, the major part of the time being- occupied by De Armond (Dem. Mo.) in making a person al explanation regarding reports circu lated in his district concerning his course In the matter of the extension of the rural free delivery. When the House met there was a waste of vacant seats, owing to the holi day exodus. The session was brief. The message of the President relative to the creation of an Appalachian forest reserve was laid before the House. De Armond obtained unanimous consent to make a privileged statement He ex plained that reports were circulated in his district that he caused action on free delivery routes to be held up during his absence in the Philippines. These re ports, he said, were circulated by those who lied and knew they lied. He read letters addressed by him to the First As sistant Postmaster-General last April, none- of which, he said, had elicited a reply. He also read a letter received by him after his return from the Orient, but dated July 3, saying a certain rural free delivery route would be established, and another, .dated July 6. saying the action spoken of in the letter of July 3 had been "held up" to await the final action of the Postmaster-General. De Armond said he wondered whether the Postmaster-General, who had Just an nounced his purpose of leaving the Cab inet, was going because he was wearied oy tne great labor of solving this ques tion. In conclusion, De Armond declared that the department had not treated him "frankly, fairly or in a manly way." It had not answered the pertinent question regarding the division of carriers between the parties. He charged that the con duct of the department was in the in terest of certain Republican bosses in Missouri, one of whom hoped to get into the United States Senate. Hepburn asked unanimous consent that the Nicaragua bill be made a special order for Tuesday, January 7, and to continue as a special order until dis posed of, not, however, to interfere with revenue or appropriation bills. Cannon asked whether the passage of the bill would embarrass the Executive in secur ing the right of way through Nicaragua or Costa Rica. Hepburn said he knew of no negotiation that would be Inter fered with by this legislation. On the contrary, he said, legislation must pre cede acquisition, the bill itself providing means Tor the acquirement of the right of way. Richardson, the minority leader, said this was in no sense a political question and there was no objection to the propo sition" on his side of the House. Cannon said he was in favor of the building of the canal but he thought there should be a place to put the canal before it was authorized. He would, however, not ob ject and the order for consideration of the bill was made. At 1:45 o'clock the House adjourned un til January G. 1902. In the Senate. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.

NEW YORK, Dec 19. Amalgamated Copper claimed and held interest over all the list in the street today and went through a rapid series of bewildering fluctuations. After the erratic market had closed, the directors of Amalgamat ed met and voted a dividend of 1 per cent and issued a statement placing the blame for the decline upon the shrink age in foreign consumption. In this con traction, it was stated. Amalgamated had been forced to bear the largest loss In the effort to maintain prices. The statement placed the falling off in ex ports at 65.000 tons, and said that during the last month the United Metals Selling Company had sold over 100.000.000 pounds for future delivery. Large blocks of the stock were unloaded as soon as bus iness began on the exchange, and about a half an hour after the opening the gain of 3 points made yesterday was wiped out. Transactions then became very moderate. Efforts of shorts to cov er, assisted by what appeared to be adroit manipulation, ran it up to 6G&, or a par ity with yesterday's close. The stock backed and filled over a range of a point until well In to the afternoon. Trading became excited in the last hour of busi ness and blocks of from 1000 to 3000 shares changed hands frequently on a rapid rise to 69V. An equally rapid reaction followed to 6S&, changes -of a point being made between sales, but the buying soon overcame the declining tendency and JS&i DIAMOND RINGS Finest Importations. THE THRONGS Which have crowded our store during the past week from early morn till late at night, have furnished eloquent evidence as to the BEAUTY . VARIETY . ELEGANCE Of our stock. We have never had anything to equal it before. It far surpasses any similar display ever made in the Northwest. STORE OPEN EVENINGS prices bounded up again to C7Hj. There was another slump Just before the close and the last sale was at 65. The gen eral movement of the stock throughout the day was of an exceptional character and Its dominance of the trading was represented in transactions of 222.800 out of a total for all stocks of 476,000 shares. The meeting of the directorate at which the dividend was declared and the state ment in behalf of the company made public commenced as the market was closing and was attended by Mr. Rocke feller. H. H. Rogers, James Stlllman, A. P. Flower and William G. Rockefel ler. No announcement was made for an hour and when a clerk appeared at the office door with an armful of type written statements, he was Instantly the center of attraction. Half the state ments were torn as the clerk attempted to distribute them in the crowd of mes sengers, financial bureau men and report ers. Announcement was made that the dividend was 1 per cent, compared with 1 declared in September. .The state ment given out was as follows: "The conditions prevailing In the cop per trade up to the commencement of the present year were very satisfactory and so far as this country is concerned are still so, every copper-wire, brass and elec trical manufacturing concern being run to Its full capacity. A large proportion, however, of the copper produced In this country has to find a market abroad. The unsatisfactory trade conditions which have existed during the present year in Europe, together with the fact that the supplies of copper to Europe from sources outside this country have increased, however. Jointly caused a fall ing off In exports of about 65.000 tons. This decrease has in some degree been compensated for by Increased domestic consumption. "By adopting the policy of maintaining a firm price., a large proportion of the loss arising from the decrease of exports has been borne by the companies whose shares are owned wholly or In part by the Amalgamated Copper Company. This policy has in the past been the best for these companies, as the portion of the copper which has been sold has realized a larger profit than would have been realized had all the copper which has been produced been sold at a much lower price. It has, likewise, prevented fluctu ations in price, which would tend to de moralize the business of manufacturers consuming copper. "The officials of these various compan ies, after carefully considering the sit uation in all Its phases, decided that it would be better for the interests of the companies thus represented to refrain from forcing on the market more copper than was actually needed, as such action would only have led to abnormally low prices. The selling agents of these com panies were, therefore. Instructed not to force upon the market more than was actually needed for consumption, but to maintain a firm price. If officials of other copper-producing companies had taken the same view of the situation and maintained a firm price, there is little doubt that the present unsettled condi tions of the market would have been in part, if not whol'y, obviated, "During the present month the United Metals Selling Company, the selling agents for the companies In which the Amalgamated Copper Company is inter ested, has. notwithstanding these condi tions, sold considerably over 10O.OO0.O0O pounds of copper for future delivery. During the past two years the companies in which the Amalgamated Copper Com pany is interested have equipped their mines and smelters with the latest im proved machinery and most modern labor-saving appliances and one of these companies has built the largest and best equipped smelter in existence. This can be put In commission early in the new year, so that from now on these com panies can produce copper at a cost that can successfully compete with any copper-producer in the world. The future prosperity of the copper business depends largely upon such a revival in the for eign trade as will bring "the total con sumption of copper nearer to the pro duction than Is the case at present."

Numerous sensa tions were sprung In Judge Smith's court today when Alex Sullivan, charged with conspiracy, was cross-examined by As sistant State's Attorney Barnes. Mr. Barnes was going back Into Sullivan's early history and had made reference to the killing of Francis Hanford. princi pal of the North Division High School. 24 years ago. by Sullivan. From his chair on the witness stand Sullivan defied the state to let him explain to the jury his motive for the killing. He drew from his pocket a letter which he said was the one from Hanford reflecting on the character of his (Sullivan's) wife and which had. he declared, prompted the tragedy. He asked Attorney Barnes If he would be manful enough to let him produce this before the Jury that was trying him for conspiracy. Barnes re plied that he would If Sullivan would be manly enough to let the state produce the witnesses who saw him murder Han ford. Here Judge Smith Interrupted the colloquy and refused to allow such testi mony to be offered. Further In the ex amination the attorney drew from Sul livan the testimony that he was ac quainted with Dr. Cronln, but that he had not circulated after the murder of Cronln the report that the murdered man was a British "spy.

Cnncentraten Authority and Re.ipon. nihility for Conntrnctlon of the Work. WASHINGTON. Dec IS Representa tive Hepburn, chairman of the House committee on commerce, today made the report of the committee in favor of the Nicaragua Canal bill. After stating the terms of the bill, the report says in part: "The purpose of this bill is to concen trate authority and responsibility for the construction of this great work In the hands of the President. It has been be lieved by your committee that this course would be a safer one to be pursued In carrying out the purposes of the bill In- OREGON'S Just bow fully The Orcgonlan will cover the resources of Oregon In Its an nual number that will be published on January 1 next may be appreciated by a reference to the full-rage article of A. W. Prcecott on hop-culture In this state that will appear In the New Year's edition. ilr. Prescott shows In this article how the yield of hops in Oregon has Increased from 1035 bales In 1S30 to CO, 000 bales In 1001. In 1SSO the acreage planted to hops In Oregon was 304. In 1P01 17.500 acres In this state were used for growing hops. The State of Washington In 1SS0 produced 41-00 bales of hops. In ltOl the 5000 acres of land In that state planted to hops yielded a total of 2S.000 bales. California In 1SSO produced S540 bales of hops. In 1001 50.000 bales of hops were picked from the 7000 acres of land In that state devoted to hop culture. It will be noted from the above that Oregir. leads all the Pacific Coast States In the production of hops today. Oregon this year produced more than twice the amount of hops grown In the State of Washington, and 16,000 bales of hops In excess of the yield in California. Mr. Lake, In this article, fully covers the extent of the hop Industry In Ore gon, methods of cultivation and picking, and with the aid of the most valuable statistical matter, which he has prepared as the result of much painstaking care, he shows conclusively why Oregon Is one of the best fields In the United States for bop culture on a large scale. The average yield of hops, as shown by Mr. Lake, in New Tork State, Is SO0 pounds per acre. The average yield of hops In Oregon per acre Is 1200 pounds. The cost of production of hops In New York Is 10 cents a pound, while In Ore gon this cost approximates 7 cents a pound only. In Oregon a hopyard yields at least a two-th'.rds crop the first year. In New Tork no crop Is produced until the second year, and a full crop Is not expected until the third year. In England the first crop Is not harvested until the third season after planting. In Germany, Herbert Myrlck, one of the greatest of the world's authorities on hops, says that it costs from 20 to 30 cents a pound to produce hops. In England, on the authority of the same writer, the cost varies from 12 to 20 cents a pound, and In New York from S to 20 cent-i a pound. The average cost of hop production on English soil approximates 16 cents a pound. The advantages of Oregon as a hopgrowlng state may be fully appreciated after reading the following statistics: In Germany the highest yield of hops per acre Is SOO pounds; the lowest jicld is 400 pounds; the average yield amounts to 500 pounds. In England the highest yield Is 1000 pounds; the lowest yield Is 500 pounds; average yield 000 pounds. In New York State the highest yield Is 1500 pounds; lowest yield 00 pounds; average yield SOO pounds. In the Pacific Coast States the highest yield Is 2000 pounds; lowest yield COO pounds; average yield 1200 pounds. . . .

We have tried to concentrate authority and respon sibility, rather than to disperse it among many persons." The report refers to the "exhaustive report made by the Isthmian Commls- j slon, of which Admiral walker is tne head, in which every feature of this en terprise Is fully and at length discussed,' and adds: "No doubt Is expressed by the commls- . slon as to the practicability of the enter- I prise; on the contrary, they Join with a score of predecessors In expressing their belief that the work can be carried to a successful termination within the limits of reasonable cost and reasonable time. All of the great political parties are com mitted to the policy of the construction of this canaL" The report then quotes the declarations of the various party platforms and Presi dents McKInley and Roosevelt favoring the canal. In. conclusion. It says: "In view of the many thousands or pages written and spoken In advocacy of the Immediate undertaking and completion of this work; In view of the pledges made j by the parties that It should be under- taken and completed; In view of the rec- j ommendatlons made by the President of the United States, and in view of the almost universal demand of the American ! people that Congress should at once do . something effective In the Inauguration ' and speedy completion of the Isthmian canal, your committee content themselves with this brief report, embodying their earnest recommendation that the hill pass."

The body of Thomas McCabe, of Hlbernla, was found on Middle Mount, N. J., 203 feet beneath the surface of the earth at the bottom of a mine hole. McCabe had been missing for more than a week. John Downs was the last man to see McCabe alive. After going down to the Rockaway the two men started for Hibemla, deciding to go over the top of Middle Mount. Downs says that when about half way over he turned around to speak to McCabe, but could see nothing of him, although It was bright moonlight. Downs gave the alarm In the village. Sarching parties were or ganized. Andrew McCabe, teller in a Brooklyn bank and brother of the miss ing man, was notified. When near the top of Middle Mount he saw a small hole In the earth. It was not IS Inches across. McCabe called for a rope. He was let down 200 feet, when he saw a hand stick ing up out of the dirt not far away.

F.. Dec. 19. Marconi's attorney here has Informed counsel for the Anglo-American Telegraph & Cable Company that Marconi will temporari'y cease his tests of wireless telegraphy and, without admitting the rights of the Angle-American Company, will notify that company prior to resuming the tests. The situation otherwise Is unchanged to day. Governor Boyle, of Newfoundland, gave a largely attended luncheon today In hon or of Marconi. Among the guests pres ent were Premier Bond, the Cabinet Min isters, the heads of departments. Marine Lloyd's Underwriters officials and repre sentatives of the press. The affair was practically a state function. Replying to a toast to his health, Mr. Marconi said: "If my system of wireless telegraphy can be commercially established between different parts of the earth, the possi bility of which, I may state, I have not the slightest doubt, it would bring about an immense cheapening of rates as at present existing. The system of sub marine cables of today fulfills the de mands of communication to a great ex tent. But the great cost of cables them selves and their heavy working expenses cause the existing method to be beyond the reach of a majority of the people In habiting the various countries of the world. But could this new method be applied, I believe the cost of what wo now call the cabling to England might be reduced at least 20-fold. The present .rates are 23 cents a word. I don't see why, eventually, with the wireless sys tem, this cost should not be reduced to 1 cent a word or less." Observing that he was half a Britisher by birth, Mr. Marconi continued: "With regard to the British Empire, the wireless system has a special im portance, ns facilitating the method of communication between the mother coun try and her great colonies beyond the seas, and it cannot but result In still more firmly cementing the bond of unity and a common cause In the Interest of civilization of which the empire has, during the nnxious times of the last two or three years, given such a splendid example to the world. This colony of Newfoundland is the first In which a message was received by cable from across the ocean, and I am glad to say It has equally been the first to receive a message across this same ocean without a cable. It is my sincere wish that If there Is anything useful In my method this country should not be the last nor the least to participate In its benefits. CABLE COMPANY EXPLAINS. The Anglo-American Concern' Re Intlon With Marconi. NEW YORK, Dec 19. Solicitors of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company have made public the following statement: "There seems to be some misapprehen sion as to the action of our clients, the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (Ltd.), with respect to the experiments In wireless telegraphy recently carried out at St. John's, N. F., by Mr. Marconi. In a letter addressed to Mr. Marconi by the company's legal advisers In Newfound land, after stating the company's Inten tion to take the necessary steps to secure a recognition of their rights in the colony, the letter proceeds: " 'However, they (the company) Instruct us to Inform you that they are not averse to giving the most careful consideration to any proposals which may be put forr ward by you with a view to the furthdf continuance of your work. "As to the statement said to have been telegraphed from St. John's by Marconi on the 17th Inst., to the effect that In conse quence of the threatened legal proceed ings of the company he was compelled to discontinue wireless telegraph tests be tween England and St. John's, we give the following from a letter from Mr. Mar coni, dated the previous day (the 16th) to the company's advisers: " 'I may mention that prior to the re ceipt of your letter I had decided to dis continue the test and remove the Instru ments tomorrow.' " Mnrconl Explains It. ST. JOHN'S N. F., Dec. 19. Regarding the- public statement of the solicitors of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. Mr. Marconi explains that the letter from the Anglo-American Company to him which is referred to therein was only its second letter to him, and was written after the substance of Its first letter to him had been given to the world from here. He said further that this first let ter was such that the outside world was under no misapprehension as to Its pur port. It was served on him last Monday. It stated that unless the Anglo-American Company received an Intimation from him (Marconi) that same day, that he would abandon his work and remove his ap paratus forthwith, the Anglo-American Company would Institute legal proceed ings to restrain him from further work, and would hold him responsible for any damages the Anglo-American Company might sustain. Upon receipt of this letter Mr. Marconi wrote the Anglo-American Company say ing he did not wish to Interfere with its rights, remarking at the same time that he would remove his apparatus. Mr. Mar coni meant, although he did not so specify, that he was going to Cape Spear to erect a pole there. The Anglo-American Com pany then rejoined with It3 second letter, which Is the one quoted in the statement in question. This letter was served on Marconi after the press of GreatBrltaln and the United States had commented upon the attitude of the Anglo-American Company as disclosed by Its first letter.

This led to the opening of negotiations which are now in progress In London between the Anglo-American and the Marconi Companies.

"Dr." John Alex ander Dowle, the self-proclaimed "Elijah the Restorer," broke down when he went on the witness-stand today In his own behalf, and, between choking sobs, told how his confidence In his brother-in-law and legal opponent, Samuel Stevenson, had been shaken. The portly figure of the aged witness shook spasmodically and tears streamed down his face as he related memories of Stevenson's espousal of Dowle's sister, now deceased. Later, as he was cross-examined, his meek and lowly demeanor changed, and he de nounced Stevenson, called him an "abom inable traveling companion," and said that he was no use In Aon and was always blundering.
