PRESIDENT'S VETO POLICY
COMBS UP FOR MUCH DISCUSSION
IX THE HOUSE.
Two Hundred and Fifteen Private
Tension Bills Arclasre, Wfcich
la Nearly the Record.
WASHINGTON, March 2S. The House
spent the day passing pTlvate pension bills.
In all, 215 were passed. With, one excep
tion, this Js the record for the number of
such bills passed at a single session. The
President's policy with regard to the veto
of bills to remove the charge of desertion
from the records of soldiers came In for
much- discussion during the day. Early
In the session a .number of minor bills
weret passed. The sundry civil appropria
tion bill was reported, and Cannon gave
notice that he would call it up Monday.
The Procedinjsu.
Some routine preceded the regular order.
A resolution was adopted w;hich called
upon the Secretary of War for certain in
formation relative to the condition of the
Missouri River improvements below St.
Joseph, Mo.
Llttlefield (Rep. Me.) asked unanimous
consent for consideration of a bill to con
fer Jurisdiction upon the court of claims
to adjudicate the claims of duties collect
ed on goods going Into the Island of Porto
Rico between April 11, 1S99, to May 1, 1900.
The bill provided that the claims found
due should bear Interest at 6 per cent.
Payne (Rep. N. Y.) explained that the re
funding of these duties was made neces
sary by the decision of the Supreme Court.
The claims for Interest, he thought, were
Just, because General Davis, the military
Governor of Porto Rico, subsequently
went to the Philippines, and service could
not be obtained on him. The bill was
passed.
A bill was passed to grant a right of
way through the San Francisco moun
tain reserve to the Central Railroad of
Arizona.
The President's veto of the bill to re-"
view the charge of desertion against B.
Klauser was laid before the House and
referred to the committee on military af
fairs., The House then proceeded to the
consideration of private pension bills.
The first bill on the calendar was to
correct the military record of Calvin A.
Rice, and Talbcrt (Pern., S. C.) made a
speech against this clas's of bills. He re
ferred to the veto of the President, Just
read, and to his other vetoes of like bills.
"I am glad," said lie, "to see that the
Chief Executive has como to my assistance
to keep the roll of honor from being be
smirched by deserters. While I disagree
with the President In almost everything
else, I heartily indorse his position in this
matter. I have protested against the
passage of the desertion bills for 10 years."
He moved to lay aside the bill with an
unfavorable report.
Mondcll (Rep Wyo.) declared that the
bill did not seek xo remove the charge of
desertion. Rice, he said, was an "officer
xmd had been unjustly dismissed for being
absent without leave.
Mann (Rep. 111.) declared that Congress
should consider the attitude of the Presi
dent toward a certain class of bills. He
denied that the President had ' declared
that he would sign no bills checking the
military records of soldiers. The Presi
dent, he said, had objected to the form of
some of these bills which. Instead of per
mitting the Secretary of War to change
the military Tecord, required him to make
the change.
Robinson (Dem. Ind.) interrupted-to say
that Congress should act as an independ
ent branch of the Government. It should
not abdicate its powers. If the President
did not approve an act of Congress the
cctronslblllty would rest with him. Mann
thought it a waste of time for Congress
to pass bills knowing they would not be
signed. He did not know what the Presi
dent would do, he said, but if he was con
sistent he would veto every bill which
was directory In form.
Hay (Dem. Va.) contended that If spe
cial bills were only to be permissive, not
directory, then Congress had as well pass
a general law giving- the Secretary of
War permission to change military records
of any soldier.
The bill was laid arfde with a favorable
recommendation, Gi to 2.
In all, 215 bills were favorably acted
upon and subsequently passed by the
House.
Cannon, from the committee on appro
priations, reported the sundry civil ap
propriation bill and gave notice that be
would call It up next Monday.
At 4:50 P. M. the House adjourned.

DOES NOT PRESENT A CASE.
No Move Will Be Made Against the
Commercial Cable Company.
WASHINGTON, March 28. Representa
tive Corliss, of Michigan, was given a
hearing before the House committee on
judiciary today on his resolutions directing
the Attorney-General to Institute proceed
ings against the Commercial Cable Com
pany for alleged combination with, other
companies. Mr. Corliss declared that
there bad been a deliberate violation of
the laws against combination and that
the effect was to advance the cost of ca
ble messages on the Atlantic 12 cents a
word. "
Chairman Ray and the members of the
committee asked a number of questions
which developed rather sharp division
ovef the resolution. Mr. Corliss said the
matter had not "been brought to the at
tention of the Attorney-General so far as
he knew, but he desired that the commit
tee take cognizance of facts which showed
an offense against the law, and refer the
subjeet to the Attorney-General for his
Investigation and actlor-
Chairman Ray said the resolutions
amounted to a direction by Congress to
the Attorney-General to do his duty when
there was nothing to show he was remiss
In his duty or knew anything about the
matter. He suggested that Mr. Corlls
should go first to the Attorney-General.
"Mr. Corliss remarked that he had not
.come to be advised as to what he should
do, but merely to bo heard on a state
ment of facts. If there was to be no ac
tion he desired to have the committee
share In the responsibility for nonaction.
Mr. Llttlefield expressed the belief that
the. attention of the Attorney-General
could be got in 15 minutes If steps were
taken to get the subject before him. He
added that charges had often been made
against the last Attorney-General and
against the present one that they had
failed to act, but Mr. Llttlefield said he
had failed to find these officials had re
futed 'to act on any matter properly
brought to their attention.
Mr. Corliss maintained that there was
ample evidence to jvarrant inquiry by the
proper officials preliminary to action.
Considerable uharp sparring was Indulged
In as to the amount of evidence Mr. Cor
liss could produce.
The committee then went Into executive
session and unanimously reported against
the resolution on the ground that Mr.
Corliss .had not presented a case calling
for the action proposed.
CUBAN RECIPROCITY BILL.
Babcock Will Not Leave Until the
Measure Is Reported.
WASHINGTON, March 28. It was re
ported about the House of Representatives
today that Representative Babcock, of
Wi6conslri, who has been In ill-health of
late, would go to Atlantic City for a stay
of some lime. This report caused quite a
stir among the elements Interested in
Cuban reciprocity, as Babcock's vote was
thought to be necessary to report the bill
from the ways and means committee by
Republican votes. Those opposing the
Payne bill were very much elated over
the report. Later In the day Babcock
visited the House and conferred with the
ways and means leaders and with Speak
er Henderson. It was said afterward that
Babcock would not leave the city at once,
owing to the difficulty of securing accom
modations at Atlantic City, and that this
would enable him to attend a meettlng of
the ways and means committee before
he left It Is expected Chairman Payne
will call a meeting early next' week, and
the friends of the reciprocity measure say
there 4s no further doubt tbe bill will be
reported by Republican votes.
ISxcIbrIoh of Jews by Rassla.
WASHINGTON. March 28. Representa
tive Goldfoglev of New York, today Intro
duced the following resolution in the
House:
"Resolved. That the Secretary of Stats
be and Is hereby directed to Inform this
House whether American citizens of the,
Jewish religious faith, holding passports
issued by this Government are barred or
xcluded from entering the territory of
the Empire of Russia, and whether the
Russian Government has made or Is mak
ing any discrimination between citizens
of the United States of different religious
faith or persuasion visiting or attempting
to visit Russia, provided with American
passports, and whether the Russian
Government has made regulations
restricting or specifically applying to
American citizens, whether native or natu
ralized, of the Jewish religious denomina
tion, holding United States passports, and,
if so, to report the facts in relat'on there
to, and what action concerning such ex
clusion, discrimination or restriction, if
any, has been taken by .any department
of the Government of the United States."
The President's Veto.
WASHINGTON, March 2S. President
Roosevelt today sent the House a veto of
(he bill for the relief of Emanuel Klnuser
from the charge of desertion. The Presi
dent says this bill, like the Senate bill In
the case of James W. Howell, not only
authorizes the President to act, but also
orders the Secretary of War to revoke
and set aside the order approving the
proceedings, findings and sentence of a
general court-martial and to grant an
honorable discharge.
"It appears to Imply," says the Presi
dent "the possession by Congress of the
power of overruling and reversing by
statute a valid judgment. If it did not do
that It was simply an exercise of the par
doning power. It Is questionable whether
Congress possesses either of these pow
ers, and when the bill directed the Sec;
retary of War to revoke an order. Con
gress In fact did the thing which it or
dered him to do."
Department of Commerce Hearing.
WASHINGTON, March 28. At the hear
ings today before the House committee on

sented by him, gave his adherence to the
Inclusion of the labor branch, which has
been objected to by some of the labor or
ganizations. The hearings will proceed
tomorrow.

SUBJECT OF CO-EDUCATION
Dr. James First Commaalcatloa to
Northwestern University.
CHICAGO. "March 2S. Dr. Edmund
James, president-elect of Northwestern
University, presented his first communi
cation to the Board of Trustees today.
On the subject of co-education he said
In part:
"There are many signs of a marked
EVANS
reaction in the public mind on the sub
ject of co-education. Friends of the
movement may well view it with some
concern. The tide seems In certain ways
to have ebbed. A pronounced reaction
has set in. Not only has the system
ceased to make new converts, but there
aro Indications that it Is losing ground
In the very territory which It had so
completely won. A new period of ques
tioning Is. upon us. A sort of vague
prejudice has. arisen In the country at
largo which Indicates a new attitude of
the public mind toward tho whole prob
lem. "The grounds of discussion have
changed entirely in the last generation.
The old objections have lost their force
and entirely new ones are now to the
front The notion that women are In
capable of doing college work, so com
monly urged a generation ago, has com
pletely disappeared. The objection that
young men and women cannot be trust
ed to observe proper relations in their
social Intercourse has lost Its force
"But on the other hand, ono hears
oftencr of the claim that Increasing
number of women tends to feminize the
Institutions where they are. In some
cases to such an extent as td discourage
the attendance of men. It Is urged with
Increasing persistence that the social
distractions and dissipations, with their
widening Invasion of the serious purpose
that should go with school life, form a
very serious problem; while others em
phasize the fact that the broad differ
ence In the future careers of t the two
sexes should find a more adequate
recognition In the college curriculum."

PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.
Provision of Government Bill to
Be Introduced In Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 28. The Repub
lican members of the Senate committee
on Philippines held a meeting today and
passed finally upon the provisions of the
Philippine government bill. The cur
rency question was the principal topic
of "conversation today and the provision
for supplying the Philippines with a cir
culating medium, as prepared by the sub
committee composed of Senators Allison,
Beveridge and Dubois, wa3 finally
passed upon.
This provision, as has been hereto
fore stated. Is that thero shall be coin
ed a Philippine dollar of the same weight
and finess as the Mexican dollar and
the British dollar. It is to be a bullion
dollar, but the volume is to be limited
only by the demands of business. The
coin will carry an American device on
one side and an Oriental design on the
other, and It Is calculated that It will.
In time, be a very popular coin through
the Eastern world. The amendment
also provides for subsidiary coinage
sufficient to meet the wants of the
Philippine people. The coinage of this
silver will be done In America and In
the Philippines. The full committee will
meet Monday and It Is the hope of the
Republican members that authority will
be given to report the bill to the Sen
ate. The provision in regard to mintage

coined In the Philippines as soon as
facilities and provided, but that In the

WARNER'S SAFE CURE
No. 184 Plopelle street, Detroit, Michigan, aNovember 21, 1001.
Gentlemen: A year ago I had a bad attack of malaria which affected my kidneys
In fact, my entire system. I was troubled with excruciating pains In the back: I
lost my appetite, became Irritable, nervous, and unable to attend to my duties. My
doctors could do nothing for me. Fortunately for me a friend, on whom I called, had
a bottle of Warner'3 Safe Cure In the house and gave me a dose to try It I felt the
effects immediately, and I ordered a large bottle and took It faithfully. I kept on Im
proving, and before the third bottle was used I was well, and felt as though new life
and strength had been given me. My olu vigor and enthusiasm had returned, as did
my appetite. Your Safe Cure Is Indeed a true friend to suffering humanity, and bet
ter than any other medicine I know of. Yours, gratefully,
THOMAS S. RKA.TH. President Detroit Travelers' Club.
