THE MORNEKG OREGONIAN SATURDAY. MARCH 22, 1902. PASSED THE HOUSE River and Harbor Bill, Carry ing Sixty Millions, NO AMENDMENTS ADOPTED Sulzer Made && Effort to Secure & Record Vote, lat Failed The Last Day of De- bate. WASHINGTON, March 2L The House today passed the river and harbor bill, which has been under discussion through out the week. Although several amend ments were adopted, not a single dollar was added to the measure, and as passed It carries exactly what It did when It came from the committee, $G0,GS8,267, In cluding authorizations. Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) attempted to force a record vote on the final passage of the bill, but only three members. Smith (Rep. la.), Fitz gerald (Dem. N. Y.) and Cochran (Dem. Mo.), supported him. The Proceeding "When the House met, Mahon (Rep. Pa.), chairman, of the commltteo on claims, asked unanimous consent that the Senate amendments to the omnibus claims bill be nonconcurred in and the bill be sent to conference. Payne, the majority leader, objected, stating that If this action was taken, the conference eould bring In a privileged report accept ing Senate amendments carrying large appropriations. He thought the bill should take its regular course. Retali ating for this action, Mahon objected to a request that the Senate amendments to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill be nonconcurred In and that It be sent to conference. The House then went into committee of the whole and resumed the consider ation of the river and harbor bill. Sev eral minor committee amendments were adopted. Jones and Cushman (Rep. Wash.) made ineffectual pleas for the adoption of amendments Increasing the appropriation for their state. Spmething of a flurry was caused by an amendment offered by Gaines (Dem. Tenn.) to an amendment, which was presented and adopted on a motion of Richardson (Dem. Tenn.). to permit the Secretary of War to grant leases to the owners of land abutting lock and dam No. 1, at Nashville, Tenn., for the use of the water power created by that dam, to allow the construction of inlet and outlet canals, etc. Richardson's amend ment met with no opposition yesterday. Gaines' amendment to the amendment provided that the lease or grant of this water power should be to the highest bidder. He declared that the right pro posed to be given away was a very valuable one. Richardson then explained his connec tion with the original amendment in which he said he had no personal Inter est Gaines Insisted that the rights to be given away under his colleague's amendment were exceedingly valuable. He said that a New Tork concern had offered SS39.000 for some rights at Chat tanooga. At the War Department, he wild. It was estimated that the water rights at Nashville were worth several million dollars. , By tills time members on both sides of the House were much Interested and Burton, chairman of the committee, seemed not adverse to seeing the two Tennessee members fight out their dif ferences, but Gaines denied that there was a difference. Richardson also ex pressed his willingness to abide by the Judgment of the committee In the matter. Burton then explained that If the rights were as valuable as represented, he thought that it was proper they should go to the highest bidder. He had ac cepted Richardson's amendment yester day, thinking it was sufficiently safe guarded. After further discussion the Gaines amendment, modified slightly, was adopted. After completing the bill In committee, it was reported to the House. Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) demanded a record vote on the final passage of the bill, but only three members seconded his demand. The bill, therefore, was passed without division. At 4:50 P. M. the House adjourned. OBJECTS TO COXSPIRACV BILL. Gompcn Asks That Original Measure Be Favorably Acted Upon. WASHINGTON. March 2L Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, has sent to the Senate a protest against the "conspiracy," or anti-injunction, bill, as reported to the Senate on the 17th by the committee on judiciary. He says that when the bill was first reported, February 3, "It was re ceived by all partite In interest as a meas ure calculated to right a wrong too long endured." This feeling, however, was rudely changed, he says, by the latest re port. He quoted the opinion of an attor ney to the effect that the bill, as now- re ported, "Is completely subserslve of all principles of liberty," and added: "Or ganized labor seeks no Immunity from the law applicable to all other citizens and people of our country, but must Insist that those things which are legal when performed by other citizens ought not to be illegal when performed by members of organized labor, and it was to recover those rights to the members of organized labor that the original bll was drafted." He concluded by saying that the labor In terests would prefer the defeat of the bill as amended to Its passage. He, how ever, asks that the original bill be favor ably acted upon. Adulterated Food Exhibit. WASHINGTON, March 21. The House committee on commerce presented the ap pearance of a laboratory today, ' as Dr. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricultural Department, present ed to the committee many samples of adulterated foods, in connection with the advocacy of the Hepburn pure-food bill. It was well known, he said, that the basis of certain Jellies was apple skin and cores, these by-products also being shipped to Europe for making champigne. The methods of coloring and flavoring jellies so as to deceive the eye and taste were each detailed. Dr. Wiley main tained that it was not fair that those making pure goods should be undersold by those making adulterated goods. Protection of Miners. WASHINGTON. March 21. The Senate committee on mining has made a favor able report on the House bill for the pro tection of miners in the territories, amending the bill so as to avoid the re quirement for the use of shot-flrers in lighting fires, and Inserting In Its place a requirement that the dust In mines shall be settled by the use of water or carried out of the mines.

NEW TORK, March 2L-Argument waa heard by Justice Glldersleeve in the Su preme Court today inthe proceedings be gun by H. Content and by I. and S. Worm ser, to restrain the proposed lease of the Metropolitan Street Railway to the In tcrurban Street Railway Company. Both actions are based on the claim that the action contemplated, which was ratified at a meeting of the stockholders yester day, is Illegal and fraudulent, in that it involves the transfer of the earnings of the. Metropolitan system to persons other than the stockholders of the company. The argument was opened for the plain tiffs by Treadwell Cleveland, who recited the principal points of the agreement be tween the Metropolitan Street Railway I PROMINENT CANDIDATE FOR - .aiaaaaaaaaftfliBliHBHBinaBBHBaaaaaWHfiMSSnBl i jhHHssshHSRIp' a ssPtSPBBMaaflBflBBBBaV W.

Company and the Interurban Railway Compiny. "This little Interurban Company," he said, "with a J500.0G0 capital, assures a 7 per cent dividend on $52,003,000 worth of Metropolitan stock. The gist of the plan Is this: To this little railroad is to be leased all the great property of the great Metropolitan, and what la it to pay? Twenty-three millions. What Is it they j receive? I assert that the Metropolitan has In Its treasury today $13,000,000 of un pledged securities. It also has $11,000,000 of bonds. The Interurban Is to pay $23, 000,000 on the Installment plan when it can. In return, the Metropolitan turns over to the Interurban $24,005,000. The In terurban Is to guarantee the stockholders of the Metropolitan 7 per cent dividend. The Metropolitan, according to shrewd men. Is a good stock. In 10 years It will be vastly more valuable. The stockhold ers will thus be Juggled out of their earn ings on the long years of prosperity be fore this concern." Mr. Guthrie, In reply, declared that many of the statements made by Mr. Cleveland were without foundation. He declared that last year the Metropolitan system had been operated at a deficit of $31,000. He contended that the directors had the Interest of the pmall stockholders at heart when they came to consider the financial situation. Judge Glldersleeve reserved his decision and ordered that all papers. Including briefs, should be submitted to him by Tuesday next. A COLLEGE FEUD. Xlesalts In Battle Bctvrecn Medical and Dental Students. OMAHA, March 2L About 300 students of the Omaha Medical & Dental College engaged in a pitched battle in one of the lecture-rooms of the college. The fight lasted for three hours without a mo ment's Intermission, and ceased only when the combatants were completely ex hausted. For years there has been a feud be tween the medical students and the dt-utal students. While the freshmen of both classes were left to themselves in a lecture-room awaiting the arrival of an in structor, they began calling names, and blows quickly followed. In a few min utes students in other classed began to Join in the fray and the fight quickly spread Qver the whole building. Students even left the patients in tne Infirmary to participate. -Furniture was broken up to provide :lubs, and table legs and chair packs were hurled across the room, re gardless of consequences. When the smoke of battle cleared away there was hardly a whole desk or piece of furniture, In the room. Many heads were broken, and Frank Mlllr. a medical student, had to have several stitches in on the top of his head, where he had ben struck by the top of a desk. The floor was spattered with blood. Members of the faculty were powerless to inter fere, although they made repeated efforts to induce the fighters to desist. Cleveland Has Little to Say. PRINCETON, N. J., March 2L Ex President Cleveland was today shown a dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., which said that W. J Bryan, commenting editorially in the Commoner upon Mr. Cleveland's recent letter to a Mississippi editor, de nounced him as a "traitor in general and a political nonentity." "I am not at all troubled about it," was the only comment Mr. Cleveland would make. The ex-President was asked what ho thought of the prospects of pulling to gether the Democratic party for the Presi dential campaign, and replied: "I don't know much about It; but there seems to be some effort in that direction. I don't care to express any further opinion on it at present. Te Care Grip in Tito Days. Laxative Bromo-Qulnlnc removes cause. E. W. Grove's signature on every box. REPEAL OF WAR REVENUE SEXATE PASSES THE BILL WITH OUT DIVISION." Measure for the Protection of the President Passes by a Vote of Flfty-tivo to Fifteen. WASHINGTON, March 2L Two Im portant measures were passed by the Senate today, the bill for the repeal of the war revenue taxes and that for the protection of the President of the United States. The war revenue bill was passed without division, and after only one short speech. Tillman -embraced the opportun ity afforded by the bill's consideration to protest against the repeal of the duty of 20 cents a pound upon tea. The bill for the protection of the Presi dent was under discussion during the greater part of the session. Patterson made an extended speech In opposition to It, and Fairbanks supported It. All amendments to the measure were re jected, and It was passed by a vote of 52 to 15. The bill provides that any person within the United States who shall willfully and maliciously kill the President or any of ficer upon whom the duties of President SECRETARY OF INTERIOR I 4 may devolve, or any sovereign of a for eign country, or shall attempt to kill any of the persons named, shall suffer death; that any person who shall aid, abet, ad vise or counsel the killing of any of the persons named, or shall conspire to ac complish their death, shall be Imprisoned not exceeding 20 years; that any person who shall threaten to kill or advise or counsel another to kill the President or any official oa whom the duties of Presi dent may devolve, shall be Imprisoned not exceeding 10 years; that any person who willfully aids in the escape of any person guilty of any of the offenses men tioned shall be deemed nn accomplice and shall be punished as a principal. The Secretary of War Is directed to detail from the regular Army a guard of offi cers and men to protect the President, "v.ithout any unnecessary display," and the Secretary Is authorized to make reg ulations as to the dress, arms and equip, ment of such guard. The Proceedings. Soon after the Senate convened Teller presented resolutions of the Co'lorado Legislature praying for intervention by an offer of its good offices by the United States Government to terminate the con test between the Boers and the British. The resolutions were referred to the com mittee on foreign relations. At the conclusion of routine business consideration of the bill to repeal war taxes and for other purposes was taken up on motion of Aldrlch.chairman of the; committee on finance. The measure was read at length. All of the amendments prepared by the Senate committee to the HouEe bill were agreed to during the reading of the measure. After a short de bate, the bill was read a third time, re ported to the Senate, and then laid aside until after the measure for the protec tion of the President was acted upon. The bill for the protection of the Presi dent was then taken up. and Patterson ad dressed the Senate. He was in accora with the purpose of the bill, so far as the President and Vice-President were con corncd. The feature of the measure to which he was particularly opposed was the provision that counseling and advis ing the murder of the President was a crime. In response to an Inquiry by Patterson. Hoar declared his belief that one who ad vised or counseled the killing of the Presi dent was as guilty as the man who actu ally committed the crime. He did not believe that if thp pending law should be placed on the statute books It would sup press anarchy or anarchists. He declared that such law as that proposed would open a Pandora's box of evils and force Congress to repeal It before long. Under no possible contingency, therefore, ould he give his support to sections 3 and 5 of the bill. Fairbanks cordially supported the pend ing bill. It contained no party Issue, and he hoped no party lines would be drawn upon It. Referring to the argument that the bill creates class legislation, Fair banks said the bill was not intended for the personal benefit of the President merely, but for the benefit of the people and to bring about the orderly adminis tration of the Government The bill had not been conceived In heat of passion, but was the fruit of wisdom and delib eration. "It is inspired by the obvious necessity," said he. In conclusion, "of throwing about the Chief Executive addi tional safeguard?, so as to render Impos sible, so far ss human wisdom can go. Injury to the President, and thereby in Jury to the Government." , After some further discussion of the pcndlns bill, the war revenuo bill was laid before the Senate, and Tillman made an argument In favor of retaining the duty of 10 cents a pound on tea. The owners of the teas now in this .country in bond, he said, would get the benefit of the removal of the duty to the amount of $0,000,000. Since the duty had been levied upon tea, the United States has been receiving a better quality .of tea, which had been supplied to the people at no in considerable price. He said, too, that the experiment of tea culture was being made in South Carolina, asd he bejieved It woum ne successful. Thla was a "bapy industry and really needed protection. The tea culture industry gave occupation to many colored children, and -might do much other good. At the conclusion of Tillman's speech the war revenue repeal bill' was passed, without division or further comment. Consideration was resumed of 'the bill for the protection of the President, and amendment? were offered by Morgan, Mallory, McLaurln (Miss.), Teller and Mc Cumber. The Substitutes offered by Cul-. hereon, Bacon and Patterson were re jected. The bill was then passed, 52 to 15. as follows: AXES-52. Aldrich Foraker McMll'an Allison Foster, La.

D., March 21. An Ice gorge which had been forming in the Missouri River at thjs place for some time has reached a point which has caused the river to overflow the lowlands for 40 miles' up the river. The Ice Is packed so tight that the bed below the gorge for several miles Is almost dry. Dynamite Is being used, but without effect up to the present. At 11 o'clock tonight the water, in the Missouri River remains about the same as early this morning, showing a total of 11 feet. A gorge has formed between Chamberlain and American Island, divert ing tho channel to the west side of the island, where the water and heavy run of Ice is passing freely. This Is very likely to leave the channel permanently on the west side, of the island, as with an open channel there, no pressure exists to clear out the gorge on the east side. A three-foot rise is reported at Evarts, and the water will doubtless go Bomewhat higher, yet It Is felt that the critical stage has been passed. Maine Rivers Overflow. BANGOR, Me., March 21.

WASHINGTON, March 21. The State and Navy Departments have been in formed of the purpose of the Government of Colombia to censor all dispatches pass ing over the cables between diplomatic and consular officers on the Isthmus and their homo governments. The notice came to the Navy Department from Captain Relsinger, of the Philadelphia, now at Panama, and the State Department had Its information from the cable companies. N.ot much Importance is attached to the notice, for there, have been many such In recent years which never were enforced against the United States, at least. Our Government being under obligations to protect Isthmian transit, undoubtedly would hold that the free use of the cables and telegraphs ig necessary to the exer cise of that power, and would not permit any interference with It. With a war ves sel on either side of the isthmus, there Is little doubt of the physical ability of the Government to protect its cable communi cation. Transit Will Not Be, Interrupted. NEW YORK.
