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.

or construction of a launch for the cus

Conversion of Steel Trent Stock.
NEW TORK, March 7. 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.

(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.

MITCHELL CHINESE BILL
IMMIGRATION COMMITTEE READY
TO REPORT IT TO THE SENATE.
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.

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

in their endeavor to keep the Nicaragua
Canal before the public. Captain Miller
said that on account of physical advan
tages the Nicaragua Canal route is the
most desirable.

tary Darling, of the Navy Deportment,

Admiral Rodgers, commanding the Asiatic

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

WILL MISS CORONATION
PRESIDENT DOES XOT WANT HIS
DAUGHTER TO ATTEND.
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

Whiskey until recently, when my -wife was stricken with appen
dicitis, and operated on successfully by Professor Gray, of Christ
Hospital, Jersey City. Immediately after the operation vomit

doing so continued to sink. I changed the stimulant to Duffy's
