FOR BUREAU OFGOMMERCEl
BILL CALLED UP IX THE SENATE
BUT FINALLY LAID OVER.
Teller the Mont VIsoroH Opponent
of the MeasHre Xelon' Ar-
KBBicnt for It.
WASHINGTON Jan. 13. In the Senate
tcday Nelson of Minnesota called up the
bill providing for the establishment of a
department of commerce. He explained
the necessity which, he gald, existed for
the passage of such a measure, and wtU
pelted with questions by Senators, who
said that sufficient time had not been al
lowed for looking Into the merits of the
question. Teller criticised that feature re
lating to the transfer of the Geological
Survey, while Hale said that the bill pro
vided for a department which ultimately
would be one of the largest in the Gov
ernment. The bill Anally went over, sub
ject to call by Nelson. The Senate was
in executive session for an hour and a
half.
Mason gave notice that tomorrow he
would addreas the Senate in reference to J
Cuban customs duties, a bill and resolu
tion relating to which was introduced by
him today.
A resolution of Hale providing for the
printing of a number of copies of the re
port of the Schley court of Inquiry was
referred to the comml'ttee on printing.
On motion of Nelson of Minnesota, the
bill creating a department of commerce
was then taken up.
Argument of XcIbob.
Nelson took the floor and said that the
agricultural interests of the country were
very well taken care of by the Department
of Agriculture, but the other great indus
tries were without any direct Government
guidance or assistance. The necessity for
a Bureau of Commerce had become more
Important and urgent every year. The
great problem, he said, was to secure and
hold greater and more extensive trade
abroad. Without such a department, we
not only would be on an Inequality with
our industrial and commercial rivals, but
at a great disadvantage. He argued that
enca a department would protect our la
boring men against improper immigration
and bring them into closer relation and
better harmony with the employers of la
bor. Toller said the bill might have been re
ported at the last session. Thla wa6 the
first time he had seen it. He thought
some amendment should be made to It.
He asked upon what theory they sought
to transfer from the Interior Department
the Geological Survey, etc Mr. Nelson
explained that the duties of the Ge61oglcal
Survey were principally the investigation
of the mineral resources of the United
States, but that the bill did not change
the ecope of the bureau, simply adding a
bureau of mines. It did not contemplate
turning over to the department of com
merce the adjudication of mineral claims.
Teller Xot After Fame Alone.
Nelson paid a glowing tribute to Teller's
ability as Secretary of the Interior, but
Toller said he was more Interested in a
decent bill than in his own fame, and
that he would not consent to any pro
vision for the establishment of a mining
bureau which would take from the In
terior Department any work in which It
Is now engaged. Nelson said that toe
mining industry of the United States was
of great importance, as much so as our
great agricultural interest Teller insisted
that as In all probability the department
would grow to be bigger than any other
which we now have, the bill should not
be put through hurriedly. Lodge said he
did not think that Consular reports giv
ing commercial statistics should be trans
ferred from the State Department. Hale
and others eald they desired time for
further consideration, and the bill went
over.
The Senate passed a resolution by Keane
directing the Secretary of the Interior to
transmit to the Senate an abstract of all
reports, letters, clippings, indorsements,
etc, showing the demand for the topo
graphical work of the United States Geo
logical Survey.
At 1:35 the Senate went into executive
session, and at 3:12 adjourned.
MORE OF THE PANAMA CANAL.
Lampre Asrnln Before the Senate
Committee.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. The Senate
committee on Interoceanlc canals held a
session today and M. Lampre, of the Pan
ama Canal Company, was again before it.
No new facts of especial importance were
brought out.
Senator Morgan questioned M. Lampre
especially concerning the interest of the
stockholders of the old Panama Canal
Company In the pending transaction. M.
Lampre stated that under the agreement
of the new company with the old com
pany the stockholders of the latter con
cern would receive CO per cent of the pro
ceeds of the sale. He said that under
the original subscription agreement of the
old company the stockholders had been
entitled to Interest amounting to 5 per
cent per annum on their subscription,
even while the canal was under course of
construction, but that the Interest had
been suspended when, the old company
went into liquidation. He also said the
agreement had been reached with the
liquidator, as the representative of the old
company, that In case of the sale of the
property he should appoint two arbitrat
ors, while "the new company appointed
two, these four to select the fifth, and
that all give should unite in making an
equitable distribution of the proceeds of
the sale. He contended that under the
French law the new company had a per
fect right to make the transfer, notwith
standing the old company's interest. "I
wish," he said, "to make this perfectly
clear, and want the committee to under.
stand that the company Is entitled to
make a clear and perfect transfer to the
United States. It would be legitimate to
make the transfer without the Interfer
ence of the old company, but to make the
way perfectly clear and to prevent any
possible entanglement, we made an agree
ment with the liquidator of the old com
pany to the effect that we hould have
absolute authority to deal directly with
the Government of the United States."
"Did you make a similar arrangement
with the liquidator of the bondholders?"
asked Senator Morgan.
In reply to this inquiry M. Lampre said:
"He did not appear in the agreement, but
he gave the liquidator of the old com
pany authority to enter into the agree
ment." Senator Morgan Could the new com
pany sell the property and put the pro
ceeds In its pocket, and not share them
with the old company?
M. Lampre Yes, it could do so under
the authority of the stockholders' meet
ing. Senator Morgan Then the transaction
between the two canal companies must
have been a sale to the new company
without reference to the bonds and the
stock held by the old company.
M. Lampre Yes, It was a sale, but one
of the condition? of the transaction was
that we should give 60 per cent of the
proceeds to the old company.
M. Lampre said that of the 70,000 shares
of stock of the Panama Railroad Com
pany the new Panama company owns C9,
534, and that the railroad company had
last year paid dividends to the canal com
pany amounting to 400,000 francs. He
said, however, he knew nothing about the
details of the. management of the railroad
company.
PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL.
Reduction to Extent of Port Tax In
United States Decided Upon.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The Republi
san members of the Senate committee on
the Philippines held a conference today
and considered the House tariff bill. The
principal subject under discussion was a
proposition to make a reduction of 25 per
cent on goods coming from the Philippines
to the United States. No'-agreement was
reached, and there is a divergence of
opinion as to the Philippines. Jt is un
derstood that an agreement will be
icachcd when the full committee meets,
on Thursday.
It was practically decided to reduce1 the
tariff coming from the Philippines to the
Unltc"3 States to the extent of the port
tax levied 1n the United States. The mat
ter of further reduction is still being agitated.
METCALFE AGAIN TJXDER. FIRE.
Senate to Investigate Charge That
He Killed a Prisoner of War.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. Before the
Senate cocmitte on pensions today the
charge against Colonel Wilder S. Met
calfe of killing a prisoner while In serv
ice in the Philippines was revived. Col
onel Metcalfe Is the nominee to the office
of pension agent at Topeka, Kan., and
the charge Is 'made in connection with the
effort to defeat his confirmation.
Colonel Metcalfe was a Major In the
Twentieth' Kansas Volunteers when thc
battle of Caloocan was fought and the"
charge is that during the battle he shot
with his revolver a Filipino prisoner who
was unarmed, and at the t)me on his
knees pleading for mercy. Affidavits from
soldiers in the Twentieth Kansas have
been filed with the committee, and Cap
tain Edward Boltwood, late Captain of
Company K, of this regiment, appeared
before the committee In person. He
pressed for full Investigation, saying that
the Inquiry which had been made by the
War Department was superficial. The
committee heard Captain Boltwood
at length, and at the conclusion of the
hearing Chairman Galllnger referred the
nomination to Senators Simon, Scott and
McCumber for further Investigation.
Metcalfe Has Xo Fears of Oatcome.
LAWRENCE, Kan., Jan. 13. General
Wilder S. Metcalfe, when asked concern
ing the charges made against him in the
Senate committee to prevent his confirma
tion as pension agent at Topeka, said:
"The charge that I shot Filipinos while
they were defenseless has been made be
fore, and, after an investigation by the
officers of the War Department, I was
exonerated from all blame. The charges
are all old and threadbare, and I have
not the least doubt about the outcome.
They were started by some of my enemies
in the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, purely
for personal reasons."
KENTUCKY MARSHALSKIP SETTLED
Hut Xot Until the Senators Had Had
a Sharp Controversy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. There was a
sharp controversy in the Senate execu
tive session this evening" over the con
firmation of 5. G. Sharp as Marshal for
the Eastern District of Kentucky. The
two Senators from Kentucky, Deboe, Re
publican, and Blackburn, Democrat, took
opposing positions. Senator Blackburn
objected to confirmation on the ground
that Mr. Sharp had .presided over a mass
meeting held In front of the executive
mansion in Frankfort in 1S99, while the
Goebel-Taylor controversy was at It
height, and a few days before Goebel was
assassinated. Senator Blackburn charac
terized this meeting as an armed mob,
and said that it was composed of about
1400 men who had been brought from all
parts of the state for the purpose of In
timidating Goebel and his followers-. He
said that no man who would consent to
act as Its leader should, be appointed to
an office whose principal duty was to pre
serve the peace.
Mr. Deboe retorted that of the entire
number of people gathered a very small
percentage, about 300, were armed. These
were, he said, from the mountain districts
of the state, and as men there parried
weapons, no significance could be attached
to the fact that they appeared at this
meeting armed. The meeting, he added,
was quite as respectable as many over
which Mr. Blackbunr vhad presided, and
naa oeen ncia lor tne purpose or. aemana
ing fair play.
It was stated on behalf of the commit
tee en Judiciary, which reported the nom
ination, that the committee had discov
ered nothing derogatory to Mr. Sharp's
character. The nomination was confirmed
by a vote of 33 to 18.
Reciprocity Resolutions.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. Mr. Mason to
day introduced in the Senate the following
resolution:
"Resolved, That the doctrine of reci
procity, as stated in the act of 1SS0 known
as the McKlnley bill, and the act of 1897,
known as the Dlngley bill, is the true doc
trine, and in the interest of the prosperity
of the United States, and that the treaties
pending in the Senate should receive con
sideration at the present session of Con
gress. "Resolved, further. That the Senate
should give to the Island of Cuba broad
commercial reciprocal trade, which would
be of advantage to the commerce of this
country, and the discharge of our duty
toward the people of that Island."
To Investigate Philippine War.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Mr. Hoar, in
the Senate, today Introduced a resolution
providing for the appointment of a com
mittee of seven Senators to examine into
the conduct of the war In the Philippines,
the administration of the Government
there, the condition of character of the
inhabitants there, said committee to hve
power to send for persons and papers, to
administer oaths and to sit during the ses
elons of the Senate.
Senator Berry Has Recovered.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. Senator Berry,
of Arkansas, was on the floor of the Sen
ate today. This was his first appearance
since his severe attack while on a visit
to his home during the holiday recess.
Nicaragua Canal Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The Hepburn
Nicaragua Canal bill was received by
the Senate from the House today and re
ferred to the committee on lntcr-oceanlc
canals,
MARCONI THEIR GUEST.
Electrical Engineers Entertain, the
Inventor in Xew York.
NEW YORK. Jan. 13. William Marconi
was the guest of honor tonight at the
annual dinner of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers in the Astor Gallery
of the Waldorf-Astoria. Slgnor Marconi,
on being Introduced, described what his
system had accomplished up to the pres
sent tlm, and then referred to the pre
vailing opinion that when a message is
sent into space any one with the neces
sary apparatus can Intercept that mes
sage and read it. He said: "Messages
can only be read whn the receiver aqd
transmitter are attuned. This attuned sys
tem, as perfected. Is not at present in
use on ships. It has been deemed neces
sary that each ship should be equipped
with apparatus which will permit the
reading of a message sent from any other
ship, because of the possibility of aid be
ing required in case of danger. There
fore, all ships are attuned so that one
ship can call up any other ship."
Mr. Marconi declared that shortly it
would be possible to send many mes
sages over the sea at the same time.

HOUSE TALKED PENSIONS
DEBATE TOOK A WIDE RANGE, AND
OCCUPIED THE DAY.
Proposal ta Open Doors of Xatleaal
Soldiers' Homes to Confederate
Veterans Creates a Stir.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The House of
Representatives spent the day in general
discussion of 'the pension appropriation
bill, the first of the annual budgets. The
debate took a wide range. Grosve
nor CRep., Ohio) and Hepburn (Rep.,
la.) denounced a report presented to the
1'iSt G. A. R. encampment criticising the'
course of themselves and other members
of Congress on the veteran "preference
bill," which was defeated at the last ses
sion. They explained that their opposi
tion to the bill was due to the incorpo
ration in the bill of a clause which had
not been endorsed by the G. A. R., plac
ing veterans of the Spanish war In the
preferential clause.
Rlxey (Dem., Va.) caused something

PROMINENT BAXKER AXD BUSINESS 3IAN OF THE DALLES, WHO
DIED SUNDAY.
of a stir on the Democratic side by ad
vancing a proposition to open the doors
of the National Soldiers' Homes to ox
Confederate veterans, and to furnish fed
eral aid to State Confederate homes.
Richardson (Dem., Ala.) was the only
Democrat who joined Rlxey In support
of the proposal.
This was District of Columbia day in
the House, and immediately after the
reading of the Journal, Babcock (Rep.,
Wis.), chairman of the District of Co
lumbia committee, claimed the day and
the House proceeded to consideration of
District business.
At the conclusion of the District of Co
lumbia business, the House took up the
pension appropriation bill. Barney (Rep..
Wis.). In charge of the bill, explained
that It carried $139.S4G.4S0, as against $145,
245,230, appropriated for the current year.
The estimates for the payment of pen
sions decreased from $H4,CO0.O0O to J13S,
E00.O00. He was asked by Richardson (Dem.,
Tenn.) why the amount for pensions
decreased five and a half million?, whlla '.
the number of pensioners was said to be I
larger. Barney explained that this was
accounted for by the fact that the. ar
rearages were decreasing, and the num
ber of large pensions, those of 550 and 575
a month, was also decreasing. In reply
to another question, he stated that tho
Commissioner of Pensions believed that
the high tide of pension payment had
been reached, and the amount required
would probably remain stationary for
some years.
Bell (Dem., Colo.) denounced the prac
tices of the "pension sharks." He de
clared that they were importuning sol
diers in the Spanish war and those who
had since served In the Philippines to
apply for pensions. He said that in soma
cases soldiers who were thoroughly ex
amined at the time of their discharge
yielded to these Importunities and applied
for pensions within a month after their
discharge. He made a strong plea for
justice to the soldiers, not only of the
Rebellion, but of the Spanish war, con
tending that to secure justice for deserv
ing veterans pensions to tho unworthy
should be opposed.
As against the soldier In the Civil War,
in ho had not applied for a pension until
recent years he thought the present Com
missioner was too strfct, but in the mat
ter of ferreting out fraud he thought
Commissioner Evans had been unexcelled
by any of his predecessors.
Grosvcnor (Rep., Ohio) assailed the re
port of a committee from the G. A. R.
made to the Grand Army Encampment
at Cleveland last Summer. The report
placed at the door of certain members
of the House and Senate (among them
himself), the failure to pass what was
known as the "preference" pension bill.
Grosvenor characterized the report as
"unjust, unfair and untruthful."
Grosvenor also said that during his
long service In the House, he had al
ways supported cordially every general
and special bill for the benefit -of his
comrades In arms. The objection to the
bill, he said, was that It contained a
provision which would have given pref
erence over the soldiers of the Rebel
lion to a quarter at a million men who
enlisted In the Spanish-American War.
He did not think the prpvlslon Just, and
explained why he could not support it In
the shape in which it appeared before
the House.
Talbert (Dem., S. C.) delivered a gen
eral speech on the subject of pensions,
to show the growing extravagance and
fraud of the present system. He thought
the practice of passing special pension
bills should be abandoned.
Hepburn (Rep., la.) again brought up
the report made to tho G. A. R. en
campment In criticism of members of
Congress who voted against the veteran
"preference'' bllL He said he had voted
against the bill, and pointed out that the
bill was endorsed by the G. A. R. As
originally Introduced, he said, the bill
did not contain the provision giving
preference to veterans of the Spanish
War. Some of the veterans of the Span
ish War, he said, were as much entitled
to be in the preferential class as the vet.
crans of the Civil War, but the vast ma
jority of the 270.000 Spalsh volnuteers had
not heard a hostile gun fired, and he was
unwilling that they should be placed In, a
preferential class from which the civil
'service would be recruited for the next
25 years.
Bromwell (Rep., Ohio.), who was on the
committee, which reported the veteran
"preference" bill, explained that 'the bill
as Introduced did not contain the pro
vision relative to the Spanish War vet
erans. Against the protest of a .minority
of the committee, the provision was In
serted and the bill then came before the
House under suspension of the rules, no
opportunity being given for amendment.
He expressed the hope that the bill
would be reintroduced and passed.
In Behalf of Confederate Veterans.
Rlxey (Dem., Va.) submitted an argu-
) ment In favor of a bill introduced vpy
him today to admit Confederate veter
ans to National Soldiers' Homes, and to
extend the same National aid to state
Confederate homes In the South as was
extended to the state Uqlon homes.
Rlxey said a somewhat similar bill intro
duced by him in the last Congress had
provoked considerable hostility and crit
icism In the South and in the North,
but
he believed the time had come
when the doors of Union homes
could be opened to Confederate -veterans.
Richardson (Tenn!)," the Democratic
leader. Interposed to declare that never
would he be willing to see ex-Confederates
enter Union homes. The debate
grew lively, differences of opinion devel
oping on the Democratic side. Richard
eon (Dem., Ala.) sided with Rlxey, while
Lamb (Dem., Va.), Bartlett (Dem.. GaQ
M. FRENCH.
and others opposed the suggestion.
Rlxey declared that he proposed to con
tinue to advocate the passage of the bill
he had Introduced, whether It proved pop
ular or not.
Gaines (Dem., Tenn.) secured the floor
and talked fcJr some time about the re
sult of his observations in the Philip
pines on his recent trip to the archi
pelago. Lever (Dem., S. C.) then formally an
nounced the death of the late Repre
sentative Stokes, of his state, which oc
curred last Summer, and the House,
after adopting the customary resolutions
of regret, at 4:53 P. M., as a further mark
of respect, adjourned.
CHICAGO DRAINAGE CANAL.
National Aspect of Project Brought
to OfHclnl Attention.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. The project of
giving a National aspect to the Chicago
drainage canal, making it a link In water
rnnncpttnn hotTipen thn f5.-o.it T.iiVp nH'1
tho Gulf, was considered today by the
House committee on rivers and harbors.
Two delegations from Chicago were pres
ent, one including the officers of the
sanitary district Interested In this larger
project, and another, headed by ex
Representative Adams, of Chicago, who
appeared In advocacy of Improved navi
gation facilities, including turning basins
in the Chicago River.
The latter project was first presented
by Mr. Adams, who explained the vast
magnitude of the commerre on the river
and the difficulties and dangers incident
to navigation at this time. The city id
making cxtenslvo Improvements, widening
the channel, erecting the most modern
bridges, etc., costing in the aggregate
about $11 Oeo.OCO. All of this will benefit the
general navigation Interests, and It was
desired that the Federal Government
supplement the work by providing turn
ing basins, to cost about $500,000.
W. H. Baker, chairman of the com
mittee representing the canal trustees,
stated the general purpose of the project
of extending that waterway to the Mis
sissippi and thence giving a deep-water
channel to St. Louis. For the present
the committee asked only a Government
survey, to develop the feasibility and ad
vantages of the plan, this survey to cost
$203,000. Mr. Baker d'd not go Into the
general merit of the project, saying that
the arguments were the same as those so
fully presented last year. Chairman Bur
ton and Mr. Reeves, of Illinois, stated In
this connection that tho members of the
committee personally examined the proj-
gel
its
ct last Summer, and were familiar with
lis leading general features. At a later
day the committee will pass upon the two
Items propcued.
AXTI-OLE03IARGARINE BILLS.
Hearing; Bcffttn Iy the Ilonse Com
mittee on Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Hearings on
the anti-oleomargarine bills were begun
today by the House committee on agricul
ture. The bills under consideration are
similar to the so-called Grout bill, and
place a tax of 10 cents per pound en sub
stances colored to Imitate butter. Ex
Governor W. D. Heard, of Wisconsin,
president of the National Dairy Union,
said the dairy interests were not oppos
ing oleomargarine and Imitation butter as
such, but only as these articles counter
felted butter and thus deceived the pub
lic It was, he said, a fight against de-
j ccptlon which he characterized a3 similar
to the deception or counterieiting money.
He maintained that the color of butter
was In effect a trade mark of genuineness.
The question of wholesome articles was
not material, he said, but he cited in
stances, said to ba fully authenticated, of
the unwholcsomeness of the article be
cause of the use of oils and other deleteri
ous articles used.

VISIT OF PRINCE HENRY
WILL' SAIL FROM .PRUSSIA FOR.
XBW YORK FEBRUARY 18.
His Entertainment "Will Probahly Be
Xeft to a Joint Commission of,
Hlsh Government Officials.
BERLIN, Jan. 13. Admiral Prince Hen
ry of Prussia and his party will sail for
New York about February 13, on a pas
senger steamer. The imperial yacht Ho
henzollern will sail January 18 or 19,
touching at Gibraltar, the Cape Verde
Islands and the Island of St. Thomas. The
southern course of the Imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, on which she will touch as
so many points, is because her coal bunk
ers are not constructed to carry coal for
a long voyage. She will, therefore, cros3
the Atlantic at moderate speed.
According to . present arrangements,
Prince Henry will live on the Hohenzol
lern while at New York, and will use the
vessel for entertaining. The band of the
Second Naval Division, which will be on
board the Hohenzollern, Is one of , the two
crack bands of the German Navy.
The Paris correspondent of the Lokal
Anzelger says official circles there inter
pret the Prince's visit as new proof that
the present grouping of the European
states no longer corresponds with all the
circumstances of Welt Pollk (world pol
icy), and that narrow programmes must
widen. France, the correspondent asserts,
regards the possible rapprochement of
the United States and Germany with
jealousy, having guarantees that this
means nothing against France.
NAME FOR EMPEROR'S YACHT.
It Will Be Christened "Alice," in
Honor of Miss Roosevelt.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13. Emperor Will
iam's yacht, now being constructed at
Shooter's Island, Is to be christened
"Alice." The Tribune tomorrow will make
this announcement, which is stated to
be on the authority of Henry G. Barbey,
a member of the firm which designed the
yacht. Mr. Barbey stated this informa
tion was unofficial, but he does not doubt
Its authenticity. The name Alice was
given the yacht in honor of Miss Alice
Roosevelt, daughter of President Roose
velt, who Is to christen the yacht, and
for a cousin of the Emperor, whose name
is also Alice. The cousin In question is
thought to be the Czarina of Russia, who
was the Princess Alice of Hesse, grand
daughter of Queen Victoria.
Prominent German-Americans continued
this evening to discuss plans for their
participation In the reception of the
Prince, and reiterated their determination
to do all In their power In the direction of
honoring his highness. The annual dinner
Of the German Society of this city will
be held on the night of the launching,
February 2S, and It Is planned to have
Prince Henry present as the guest of
honor.
' Mayor Low today opened correspondence
with Secretary of State Hay looking to
the making of arrangements for a wel
come to Prince Henry, of Prussia, when
he arrives in New York. The Mayor doe3
not want the arrangements made by the
City of New York to conflict in any way
with those planned at Washington.
RECEPTIOX TO PRIXCE HENRY.
Arrangements Likely to Be Left to
a Joint Commission.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. While the sub
ject of the reception to be accorded to
Prince Henry has not yet been fully dis
cussed by the Cabinet, It Is believed thU
the necessary arrangements will be placed
In the hands of a joint commission com
posed of a representative of the State
Department, and an officer each of tho
Army and Navy. There Is no present
disposition to bring the North Atlantic
Snuidron all the way back from the
Caribbean Sea to form the advance recep
tion line. The Navy still has some fine
ships left at the Northern yard which
may be used for this purpose.

LONDON, Jan. 13. The brcach-of-prom-Isre
suit brought by Miss Portia Knight,
the American, actress, against the Duke
of Manchester has, after all. been settled
out of court, the Duke paying Miss
Knight 1000 and defraying the costs of
the legal proceedings. An agreement was
reached Saturday, and the final papers
will bo signed Wednesday next, when the
money will be paid. The lawyers In the
case say nothing in the nature of a grave
scandal would have d'veloped had the
suit come to trial, but unpleasant notorie
ty would have attended the reading of
love letters, etc.
(Miss Portia Knight, the fair plaintiff.
In the case against the Duke of Manches
ter, Is a native of Oregon, havfng been
born In Salem about 25 years ago. She ih
a daughter of Colonel N. B. Knight, a
well-known lawyer, for some years a
partner of ex-Governor Lord. Several
years since she went on the stage, and
was a member of Frederick Wardc's
company. About two ears ago she went
abroad, and In England made the ac
quaintance of the Duke of Manchester.
Their relations were very Intimate, so in
timate, indeed, that when the ficklo young
nobleman one day married tho beautiful
daughter of Millionaire Zlmmermnn, or
Cincinnati, he at once found that he had
a suit for damages on his hands. Miss
Knight's afTectlons had blighted to the
extent of a large sum of money. It was
recently reported that a settlement was
effected for $20,000, but this proved to be
a mistake. She did settle for J5000. if the
cabled reports arc correct. Colonel
Knight recently went to England to as
sist his daughter In her suit.)

will be appointed Collector of Customs, to
succeed Heustls, who has been asked to
be relieved. Charles Hopkins, of Spokane,
will be appointed United States Marshal.
Senator Foster recommended Hopkins, and
has been striving to secure the appoint
ment of D. B. Crocker, of Walla Walla,
as Collector. Inasmuch as the two Rep
resentative strongly indorsed Ide, and
as Foster had nothing against him. It
was decided to transfer Ide to a position
equally as good as that in which he has
served, in order to permit the appoint
ment of Hopkins, against whom there .is
no personal objection on the part of Cush
man and Jones. On the other hand, there
was strong objection to the appointment
of Crocker.
Foster "Will Not Be All-Povrerfnl.
The recognition of Senator Foster in
the Marshalship is not an intimation that
ho will have absolute sway in the control
of Federal patronage in the state, but
that the Representatives will have occa
sion to toe heard in all cases. Very soon
the selection of a United States Attorney
will be made. Senator Foster has In
dorsed Jesse Frye, but John L. Wilson
announces that Frye cannot be appointed.
Wilson R. Gay,, the incumbent, seems to
have no friend in the delegation', and,
therefore, has little on which to base
hopes of reappointment. Austin E. Grif
fith, of Seattle, one of the leading candi
dates for this place, is now on his way
to Washington.
Although the" nomination of Millard T.
Hartson as Postmaster at Spokane has
been sent to the Senate, confirmation will
not be had at once. Senator Turner has
requested the post office committee to hold
up the case until the people of Spokane
can be heard from. If they generally ap
prove the appointment he will permit the
nomination to go through. Speaking of
tho Marshalshlp-Collectorshlp deal, and
the Spokane appointment. Senator Turner
today said: '"That is a clean Wilson vic
tory from, start to finish."
What Washington Delegation Wants
The Washington delegation was 'today
glven a hearing by the rivers and har
bors committee in the Interest of the sev
eral projects of their state. They par
ticularly favored the adoption of the canal
project for opening the Columbia River
at The Dalles, saying that Improvement
of the upper river would turn loose all the
wheat and products of the Interior region
of three states. They did not ask for an
appropriation for the mouth of the Colum
bia, alleging that vessels which could nav
igate the upper river would notj now ex
perience dlnlculty in "crossing the bar.
Chairman Burton, however, significantly
remarked that It was generally the policy
to improve the mouth before going up a
river. The Washington delegation rather
intimated that the mouth of the river
had already been accorded sufficient recog
nition. They strongly urged appropria
tions for Gray's Harbor; Tacoma, Everett
and other places, as recommended by the
engineers.
Representative Cushman today Intro
duced a bill providing gas buoyB at Folnt
Retreat, Falrview Island, Peril Strait, El
drcd Rockj Midway Island and Point
Sherman, on the Alaska coast, to cost not
over $3000 each.
Fighting: for Pcrranlt.
Ex-Senator Shoup, National committee
man; D. W, Stanrod, Indian agent; A. F.
Caldwell, of Fort Hall, and George Nich
olas Ifft, of Pocatello, today called on
the President in behalf of Surveyor-Gen
eral Pcrrault, of Idaho, whom they wish
reappointed. When seen tonight. Senator
Shoup very indignantly remarked that the
papers acted dishonorably In publishing
the charges against Perrault, an appointee
of his. and asserted that in so far as
Robb was concerned, the published state
ments were utterly false; that Robb was
not a surveyor, and had no contracts
through Perrault. The Civil Service Com
mission Is the authority for all state
ments heretofore made in these dispatches.
Shoup has turned over to Stanrod the
distribution of Idaho patronage, and the
latter hopes, while here, to name the
United States Attorney, Boise Postmaster
and Surveyor-General.

With. Idea of Solving It.
NEW YORK. Jan. 13. Catholics of this
country will found a seminary In order
to solve the Spanish friars' problem In
the Philippines. As fast as practicable,

the seminary. The Institution will be
known as the "Seminary for the Homjj
and Insular Missions." At least $300,000
will be needed and 5150.000 of it has al
ready been promised conditional on the
remaining $150,000 being raised.

rill has been purchased at auction at Hong

ages were so severe that her owners
cabled from England to sell her as she
then lay. Several bidders appeared, but
the highest price was offered by the Com
panla General do Tabacos, of Manila,
which will repair the vessel and sail it un
