THE HORNING OEEGONIAN, - SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1902. SHIP BILL LAID BY Vest and Mallory, Scheduled to Speak on If, Were Sick. DIPLOMATIC BILL WAS PASSED Bacon Continued His Address ea the Meaxarc Providing; for the Protection of the President. WASHINGTON, March 7. On account of the indisposition of Vest and Mallory, who expected to speaktoday on the pend ing ship subsidy bill, that measure was not considered by the Senate today. The diplomatic and consular appropria tion bill was passed and the Senate took up the measure for the protection of the President of the United States. Bacon continued his speech begun yesterday in opposition to the bill, making an ex tended Constitutional argument against it The Senate agreed to make the bill the unfinished business at the conclusion of consideration of the ship subsidy bill. The Proceedings. Soon after the Senate convened, a Joint resolution authorizing the President to In-J vite the Government of Canada to join in the formation Of an international com mission to examine and report on the di version of the waters that are the boun daries of the two countries was reported favorably from the committee on com merce. Hoar urged that the mat ter ought to be considered by the foreign committee, as it opens "a very important and very delicate question," Involving dip lomatic procedure. On his motion It was referred to the committee on foreign re lations. A resolution offered by Harris di recting the committee on Indian affairs to investigate the matter of the removal of certain Creek Indians from the lands as signed to them, and to report by bill or otherwise, was adopted. The Senate agreed to a conference with the House upon the bill providing for the redemption of certain .internal revenue stamps, and Aldrich, Piatt (Conn.) and Teller were named as conferees on the part of the Senate. On motion of Hale the Senate then began the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. The bill was read. It carries in round figures ?2, 000.000 In appropriations. Bacon offered an amendment provid ing that the student interpreters cm ployed In the Legations and Consulates in China should be selected In a non-partisan manner and that they should agree to re main In the service top 10 years. The amendment was agreed to. The bill, as amended, then was passed. The Senate resumed consideration of the bill providing for the protection of the President of the United States. Continu ing his speech begun yesterday. Bacon contended that the enactment of the bill In its present form would be an extension of treason as defined by the authorities. He quoted various writers on the Consti tution In support of his argument. Mere ly because the crime named in the pend ing bill Is not designated is treason doEs not change Its character. It practically is made treason by the penalty pro vided and the means resorted to apply the penalty to the criminal. He Indi cated .his belief that such a provision is unconstitutional. He argued that the Constitution intended that each mm shall be equal before the law and said the rem edy fcr an attack on the President or the killing of the President should be the same as If the crime were committed against an individual. At 2 o'clock theu nflnlshed buslners the fahlp subsidy bill was laid before the Senile. Inquiry by Frye developed the fact that "Vest and Mallory, who had expected to speak on the bill today, were detained by Illness. The measure was laid aside Informally and consideration of the bill for the pro tection of the President was resumed. Continuing his argument, Bacon main tained that the contention of those who supported the measure Is In effect that there is not differentiation between the crime of treason and an assault upon the President, which threatens the existence of the Government. He urged, however, that if this were true, assassination of the President would be treason. Spooner interrupted to say that al though the assault upon the President might be considered an attack upon the sovereignty of the Government It clearly 1b within the authority of Congress to deal with it, as has been done in the pending bill. Bacon denied the Constitutionality of any law which shall invade our institu tions, which shall upturn the recognized procedures of 100 years and which shall put It In the power of partisans either on the bench or elsewhere "to oppose men on account of political opinion?." The bill, if enacted, he said, would muzle the press and make any editor afraid to express an opinion as to the President or any other official, for fear that, there after. If any of these officials should be killed, he might be tried for murder. He would not. he said, vote for tho bill, even If he were the only man In the Sen ate and in the House of Representatives opposed to It. At the conclusion of Bacon's speech, Hoar, in charge of the measure, secured unat,lmoun consent that the bill should be the unfinished business after the ship subsidy bill has been disposed of finally. The Senate at 3:50 P. M. went Into ex ecutive session and at 2:35 P. M. ad lourned until Monday. IK THE HOUSB. Further Debate on the Itnral Deliv ery Classification Bill. WASHINGTON. March 7.

By an amicable arrangement, general debate will be concluded tomor row and the bill will be considered under the five-minute rule Monday.

Leading inter, ests in the United States Steel Corpora tion say that reports of a proposed con version of the preferred stock into bonds are premature. It Is said that the propo. sltlon had been discussed by tho financial committee and has been taken up in a casual way by the directors, "but beyond this nothing has been determined. Ac cording to report. It Is not unlikely that it may be deemed advisable te Issue bonds to tho extent of $350,000,000, without any disturbance of the present preferred stock Issue. This can be done. It is pointed out, by charging the bonds to account of one of the subsidiary companies of the steel corporation. Reports from the West tell ing of the probable resignation of Elbert H. Gary from the chairmanship of the steel corporation's executive committee are discredited. THE DEATH ROLL. JHdge Martin R. M. Wallace. CHICAGO, March 7.-Judge Martin R. M.

(Continued from First Page.) suggestions as to how the wreck could, have occurred, and assert It may have been the work of wreckers. According to Conductor Stockwell's report, the wreck was at a pit where the grade terminates In a reverse curve. The train left the track on the other side of the curve, which destroys the theory that the accident was cauied by the train running at a high rate of speed, in which case it would have been deposited on the other side. Another solution of the cause is that there was a broken flange. Dead and Injured Taken te El Pane. Creeping like a mammoth hearse across the desert, the relief train conveying the dead, the dying and the injured puffed slowly Into th depot at El Paso at 10 o'clock tonight. Men, women and chil dren, many of whom etill had their night robes on. bandaged; from head to foot, made their way or were assisted to the vehicles awaiting to receive them. Moth ers -with children in their arms, end moth, crs with children lying dead In the front coach, were taken to the hotels or the hospitals. Husbands and wives clung to each other, the terrible scenes remaining atill fresh In their memory. Reckless running is what the passen gers say caused the terrible accident. "I don't want my name mentioned," said a prominent New Yorker, "but the accident was due wholly to reckless run ning. We were striking those curves at a speed of from 45 to 0 miles an hour, and the train at the point where It left the track could not hold on any longer." The passengers lost all their clothing, as the .train burned quickly. From San derson and stations along the road blan kets were secured by the passengers, and with these covering their night robes they arrived at El Paso tonight. The General Manager's Report. HOUSTON, Texl, March 7.

Few Chanares Will Be Made and Mont f These Are Merely of Phraseology. WASHINGTON. March 7. Tho Im migration committeo of the Senate Is about ready to report, the Mitchell Chi nese exclusion bill. Senator Mitchell to day had a conference with Chairman Penrose, and was assured that the bill would be changed but slightly, and not in a manner to alter its general effect. Most of the changes contemplated are as to phraseology. This is somewhat of a surprise, as It had been supposed the com mittee would favor a bill following largely the provisions of the present Geary law. On the contrary, the com-j mlttee's report will provide for practic ally all the Important features of tho more stringent Mitchell bill. CENSUS BILL SIGNED. The President's Inntractionn to the Secretary of the Interior. WASHINGTON, March 7. The Presi dent has signed the bill creating a per manent census bureau. Tho President sent tho following letter to the Secre tary of the Interior: "White House, Washington, March 6, 1902. Sir: I have signed the act providing --A REGISTER! REGISTER!! REGISTER 11 But six days remain! Yesterday was a fair day with the registration force at the Courthouse. In all, 522 voters were registered, of which number 360 reg.stered before 5 P. M. Do not lose sight of the fact that the reg istration books are open at night until 9 o'clock. If incon venient to go to the Court house in the day time, make it your first duty to go there at night The totol registra tion la now approaching 14,000. There are between 6000 and 7000 voters in Multnomah County who are not registered. Are you one of them? If you would help in the fight being waged for good government and a clean, honest admlnls--tratlon of city and county af fairs by clean, honest officials, you must register and vote against the Boss at tho pri mary election, March 15. Do you want to stop the graft? Register todayl a for a permanent census bureau. Section ! of this act provides that the work per taining to the 12th census shall be carried) on by the census office under the exist ing organization until the first day of July, when the permanent census office herein provided for shall be organized by the director of the census. Section 5 pro vides that with your approval the direc tor of the census may appoint the per manent census force in two ways: In the first place, from the present employes of the census ofilce; and in the second place, all new appointments to be made in accordance with the civil service law. After any of the present employes of the census buseau have been appointed upon the permanent force, they become part of the classified service. "I have gone over these sections very carefully with the Attorney-General and their construction seems to be perfectly clear. You will please Inform the di rector of the census that his office will continue to be administered as It has been administered until the 1st of July. On that day he will, with j'our permis sion, appoint such members of the pres ent force under him as will constitute the permanent census force, appointing only so many as are to bo permanently employed. After that date all appoint ments will be made under the regula tions of the civil service act. Very truly yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "Hon. E. A. Hitchcock, Secretary of the Interior." IK FAVOR OF POSTPONEMENT. Majority Opposed to Patae's Caban Reciprocity Plaa. WASHINGTON, March 7. A large num ber of the Republican representatives op posed to the ways and means committee's plan of Cuban reciprocity held a private meeting at s o'clock today In the committee-room of William Alden Smith. It was not intended to assemble the full strength of the opposition, but rather to have representatives from every state delegation. Those present numbered about 35. The standing of members from the several states was fully canvassed, and later It was asserted that this canvass showed that a majority could be mustered against the ways and rans proposition. The meeting did not, however, go into the various opposition plans. It was stat ed that, as between the Tawney rebate plan and the postponement plan, the lat ter Is gaining strength. The matter led to an understanding that there would be no effort to force a rote next Tuesday night. Several plans of compromise were put forward In a tentative way during the cay, but they lacked deflnlteness, and neither aide felt disposed to admit that tho stage of compromise has been reached. Representative Morris, of Minnesota, to day gave out a reply to Chairman Payne's statement of yesterday, on Cuban conces sions. After controverting Mr. Payne's statement as to the Morris proposition, Morris concluded as follows: "Mr. Payne knows that this plan was proposed in no spirit of hostility, either to the President or to the ways and means committee, but, on the contrary, as a sug gestion which would prevent the House from being placed In an attitude hostile to the President and would bind peace and harmony In the Republican party and restore confidence to our domestic su gar producers. In the advancement of this proposition, no attempt was made to work out details. That was left to tho wisdom of the ways and means commit tee. I do not think It wise or conducive to harmony that Republicans, especially the chairman of the ways and means committee, should be making statements In the nature of arguments in the public press, while other Republicans have re frained from doing this since these confer ences began: but I feel that I cannot re main silent in the face of Mr. Payne's statement." Nevrlands Irrigation Bill Reported. WASHINGTON. March 7. Tho New lands Irrigation bill was reported to tho Houses today by Representative Mondell. of Wyoming, in behalf of the irrigation committee. The report says that the ter ritory affected by the bill is nearly one half the area of the United States and that In 16 arid-land states there are over 535,006,000. acres, or more than one-sixteenth of tho area of the country, public land subject to entry. Of this' vast tract, only 10,009,000 acres will produce erops without irrigation, showing the ex tent of the arid district. Mr. Mondell pointed out that with such a wide domain no agency ether than of the GvnHBnt can deal adequately with the problem of irrigation. He also showed that irriga tion long ago passed the experimental stage and that its great advantages have been established In this country and abroad. The bill, he says, proposes no taxation to carry out the Irrigation pro ject, the entire expense being derived from the sale of public lands in the states to be Irrigated. Sam Spent hy Maritime Company. WASHINGTON, March 7. The Senate committee on intcroceanlc canals today heard Jacob Miller, president of the Ma?r atime Canal Company, on the question of the construction of an Interoceanlc canal.

Of Marine Officers Accused of Bar barities In Saxnar. WASHINGTON, March 7.

This Is the extent of the Information contained In Admiral Rodgers dispatch. Nothing Is said with regard to the composition of the court, tho place of meeting or the charges against the officers named. From other sources, however. It Is un derstood that the court-martial proceed ings were instituted by General Chaffee because of the charges against the offi cers named that they were unnecessarily severe and brutal In their treatment of children native. In their memorable march across the Island of'Samar. The expedition In question was made under the direction of General Chaffee, and the marine battalion was temporarily de tached from service under the naval com mander for that purpose. In view of these circumstances it Is assumed that the two marine officers will be tried by a court composed. In part or In whole, of officers of tho Army, although it Is pos sible that one or more marine members may be on t. INSURRECTION IS EXPIRING. Acting: Governor Wright Hopeful Vle-rr of the Situation. MANILA. March 7. Acting Governor Wright says that the Province of Morong and the entire Province of Rlzal were never more peaceful than they are now, and that the recent occurrences were en tirely due to the Influence of Insurrectos. who had been driven from Laguna and Batangas Provinces. The utterances of Senor AmpJl, the ex-Presidente of the town of Calnta, Morong, who was recently captured by Insurgents and subsequently escaped, are clasped by Mr. Wright as be ing unreliable and as merely the remarks of a man half crazed with terror. The action' of the band which captured Ampll was largely due to a person! vendetta. The constabulary have already dispersed the band and captured many arms, und have completely broken the power of Montalon. the old ladrono chief, who for years was the terror of the province. Mr. Wright feels satisfied fom conversations with General Beal and others that the In surrection Is expiring. Wants American Sons-ln-Law. NEW YORK, March 7. Lieutenant B.

Too Many Social Function In View for the Young Lady An Invi tation From Germany. WASHINGTON, March 7. It was learned tonight that the reason why Miss Roosevelt will not attend the coronation of King Edward VII Is because It has been found practicably impossible for her to go simply as a young American girl traveling privately in the household of Special Am bassador Rcld. Notwithstanding it was stated that she would not go to London as -daughter of the President, but simply as Miss Roosevelt, It was learned that London court circles were considering seri ously the question of the status 3he would occupy In all coronation functions. When Miss Roosevelt's status became a matter of international discussion, the President flr3t considered the advisability of cancel ing the visit, but not until It was found that on Invitation to visit the Emperor and Empress was on the way to America was it decided that. In view of the extreme youth of Miss Roosevelt, and the interna tional conditions, as well as courtesies she would be called upon to meet, the English visit and all Its delights would have to be relinquished. Decision In the Sampson Prize Cnso. WASHINGTON. March 7. The District Court of Appeals today announced its de cision In the prize money cases Instituted by Admiral Sampson for his enlisted men in the Santiago campaign and appealed from the District Supreme Court. ( The court Is divided. Chief Justice lvey, who delivered the opinion, held that the appeal should not have been taken to that court, but withholds the order of dismis sal. This course Is with a view to pre serving the appeal In case the United States Supreme Court should decide tho appeal was rightfully taken. The decision says, however, that the order of dismissal vlll be entered in case it Is desired to appeal to the United States Supreme Court from the order. Justice Morris, In con curring, says ho Is not satisfied that his court has no Jurisdiction, but as that would, in effect, deny jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States', such a ruling should come, from the latter court. Justice Shepard will file a dissent ing opinion. Removal of Sngnr Bounties. WASHINGTON, March 7. Minister Townpend, at Brussels, has Informed the Department of State that he is able to certify as official the statement of the agreement reached by the beet-sugar pro ducing countries, namely, the abolition of all bounties on sugar and provision for a uniform customs tariff of 6 francs per i kilograms, or about a half-cent a pound. Roumanla alone of the countries repre sented in the conference withdrew and re fused to enter Into this agreement, Her sugar production Is believed to be too small to affect the Integrity of tile agree ment. TheSc facts have been made known to the United States Treasury, and the Treasury officials must proceed at once to take steps to remove the countervailing duties now levied on bounty-aided sugars, thus considerably affecting the revenues. It will he for the Treasury officials to say when the change Is to take effect, and how cargoes In shipment will be affected. Chancre in Department Commanders. WASHINGTON, -March 7.
