HERMANN FIGHTS IT
Denounces Bill for Leasing
Public Range.
MEASURE ONE FOR RICH MAN
Defeat Is Sow Almost Certnln Lead
ing; Democrats Interpret Hill's
.Speech as Bid for the
Presidency.
WASHINGTON. April 16. At a hear
ing today before the public lands com
mittee of the House, Land Commissioner
Hermann strongly denounced the Bower
eock bill, providing for leasing the va
cant public lands of the "West. "I am
confident If this bill becomes a law,"
eaid he, "it -Mil -work a great Injury to a,
majority of the people of Western states;
retard the development of the public
domain; Impose additional privation
upon the hardy pioneer; compel tho
small stockowner and settler to pay
tribute and rental to the syndicate
owner, or drive them from, the open
Held; encourage great landed monopo
lies UDon vacant domain -which should
be free to all, and engender a feeling
of hostility and Inequality among those
who should be friends and equals. With
these convictions, I earnestly - recom
mend that the bill be not passed."
Commissioner Hermann said the enact
ment of the pending law would virtually
repeal the homestead desert land and
timber culture acts; that while it Is ap
parently intended to give the home
steader preferential right, yet, in practi
cal operation, it would give the home
steader no opportunity of getting pos
session of the public lands when once
leased to large holders. He also ob
jected to that feature of the bill allow
ing parties holding-leases to sublet. He
maintained that the enactment of this
bill would permit the large stockowners
to deny homesteaders the right of
egress and ingress to their lands, as
the right to lease would carry with It
the right to fence the public domain,
and cut off opportunity for permanent
settlement. He added that the bill would
benefit the large stock companies In the
same proportion that it would Injure
the small stockowner and homesteader.
The views of the Commissioner are In
hearty accord with the views of practi
cally every member of the committee.
It was evident from today's hearing that
the bill has no showing whatever of
passing, yet there Is a sentiment among
a portion of the committee to frame
some bill. If possible, which will permit
of the leasing of the public ranges in
some manner, and which will safeguard
the settlers. Neither Commissioner Her
mann nor any member of the committee
has yet devised such a bill.
Which Will Get Public Building?
The House public buildings committee
Is undecided as to what recognition It
shall grant the State of Washington. It
has been determined that an Increase of
$250,000 in the cost of the Seattle public
building will be authorized, but the
committee hesitates about making an
appropriation for a public building at
Tacoma or Spokane. But one new build
ing Is to be allowed the state, and the
decision Is to be made within a few
days.
or nothing is heard of the silver Issue,
and with that eliminated, the prominent
Democrats gay there is no reason why
either Hill or Gorman phould not be con
sidered as possibilities. In order to head
off the Gorman and Hill movement, some
Western Democrats have started a little
talk about Bailey of Texas, the young
Senator who recently made a Very good
Impression in the Senate, but he has prac
tically declared himself for Gorman, hav
ing announced that he will not be a candi
date for the minority leadership, but will
support Gorman as soon as the Marylander
returns to the Senate.
GOVERNMENTAL HYPOCRISY.
German Socialist's Characterisation
of Meat Prohibition Bill.
BERLIN, April 16. Herr Antrick, So
cialist, alluded to the prohibition of meats
prepared with boraclc acid before the
Reichstag tariff committee as a piece of
governmental hypocrisy, and said the
Americans were right In pronouncing It a
hygienic humbug. He cited the opinion
of a German chemical society to the ef
fect that this prohibition was unjustifi
able. Herr Antrick concluded by saying:
"Such measures can only Jead to a tariff
war."
Count Von Posadowsky-Wehner said, in
defense of the Ministry, that the govern
ment could only depend upon technical
advice; that American views could not
be considered, and that the Interests of
domestic meat producers could not be re
garded as the deciding voice in the mat
ter. He said the government was sup
ported unanimously by the imperial health
office and the health council, whose opin
ions must be respected.
The foregoing remarks were an out
growth of the discussion of the meat
duties. After the adoption of the Agra
rian Increases Count von Posadowsky-
Wehner again plainly said that the
meat and cattle amendments were abso
lutely unacceptable to the government. At
this stage of the deliberations, Herr
Bebel, the Socialist leader, inquired why
It was necessary further to discuss the
bill If the majority was unable to come
to an agreement with the government.
Herr Helm, the Centrist leader, and Dr.
Paaohe, the National-Liberal leader, also
regarded further discussion to be useless
If the Centrists adhered to the impossible
increases.
BILL LOST IN-THE SENATE
(Continued from First Page.)
the working-men would be abundantly
protected.
Hanna then turned his attention to the
connection of J. R. Dunn, Chinese Inspec
tor, with the bill, and created some sur
prise by saying, abruptly, that, "knowing
this man as I do, I here state that Mr.
Dunn is an unreliable witness and ad
viser." He then went on to eay that both ex
Secretary Gage-and ex-Assistant Secretary
Vanderlip had assured him they never had
advised with Dunn concerning the bill,
and that neither of them would consider
his advice worth having. Furthermore, he
said, the present secretary had assured
him that he was not in accord with all
parts of the pending bill. It was also
true that the Secretary of State had
never been consulted with reference to
the bill, notwithstanding that the treaty
with China Is Involved, and regardless of
the fact that a new commercial treaty
between the United States and China Is
now under consideration by the represen
tatives of the two countries. He referred
to the address of Lodge on this bill, quot.
lng the statement of the latter to the
defeated. 7 to 6. Those who voted for the
amendments were: Burton, Dolliver,
"Hoar. Piatt (N. T.), Proctor, Quay. Vest.
Piatt (Conn.) then offered his substitute,
extending the present law. He eald the
United States was committed to the policy
of exclusion, and 'any suggestion that
Senators opposing the bill were seeking
to break down the exclusion policy was
gratuitous and without foundation, but
the pending bill was unnecessary; it was
offensive to China at a time when, we
sought he good-will, and it improperly
enacted treaty regulations as law.
An amendment by Mallory, adding to
the Piatt substitute the sailors' clause,
was defeated, 29 to 50.
An amendment by Cockrell that the pro
visions of the substitute should not apply
to Chinese coming to participate In expo
sitions, etc, was adopted.
Patterson moved an amendment to the
substitute, designed to apply the exclu
sion provisions to the Philippines.
Lodge pointed out that the substitute
already applied the same protection to
the Philippines as to the mainland ter
ritory of the United States.
Patterson withdrew his amendment,
being satisfied that the substitute already
covered the Philippines.
Mitchell (Or.) offered as an amendment
to the substitute several sections of the
original bill providing for taking out Chi
nese certificates in our Insular possessions.

Argued for the Corliss Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 16. David Bing
ham, chairman of the transportation com
mittee .of the Produce Exchange, of New
York, and S. T. Hubbard, president of the
New York Cotton Exchange, appeared
before the House committee on commerce
today and argued In favor of the passage
of the Corliss bill to Increase the powers
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Mr. Hubbard gave some Interesting Il
lustrations of the discrimination of rates
on shipments of cotton partly by water
to domestic and foreign ports, and con
tended that the commission should have
the same powers over water as over land
rates of transportation.

WHY EXCLUSION BILL FAILED.
It May Be Made Better for Pacific
Coast in Conference.
WASHINGTON, April 16. The Pacific
Coast men are very much disappointed
because they did not secure the adoption
of the Mltchell-Kahn bill in the Senate
just as It was passed by the House. It Is
realized now that had the House passed
the bill as adopted by the committee on
foreign affaire, without attaching the
drastic provisions which all the Pacific
Coast men Insisted upon, a similar bill
might have passed the Senate. The long
debate In the Senate had a great deal to
do with changing the views of Senators
who were at first in favor of a rigid ex
clusion law. It is also probable that the
labor organizations overreached them
selves in peremptorily demanding of Sen
ators the support of the bill, and threat
ening them with opposition if -they did
not accede. While this may not have
driven Senators into the opposition camp,
it had considerable effect In arousing re
sentment of dictation and strenuous op
position to the committee's bill. It was
rather surprising that at the last moment
the parties divided so nearly equally, as
Dnly the Pacific Coast Republican Sen
ators voted against the Piatt substitute,
and only a few Democrats voted with the
majority.
Senator Mitchell feels that be made a
good, strong fight for his bill, and did
the very beet he could to get it through.
When he saw that the Piatt substitute
was likely to prevail he secured the adop
lon of some amendments which he thinks,
and the Senate evidently thought, greatly
improved the substitute. There is a pos
sibility now that when the bill gets In
conference It will be put In better shape
for the Pacific Coast Interests at least
such is the hope. The only obstacle to
this Is the fact that tho House conferees
will no doubt be anxious to accept the
Senate bill, although they will be com
pelled to Insist, at least fpr a little while,
upon their own measure.

WASHINGTON, April 16. After mature
deliberation, the leading Democrats here
think Hill made a bid for the Presidency

effect that the omission of Chinese exclu
sion legislation would be defeated at tho
polls by the working classes.
"I am sorry," be said, "that Senator
Lodge has such, an unfavorable opinion
of the worklngmen of the country, and
as a friend of that class I resent this
characterization of their motives."
Continuing, he said he did not believe
that thelabo'ring men of the United States
would threaten Senators in this way if
their judgment was not entirely In ac
cord with their own on any given subject.
He maintained that Senators had a perfect
right to vote their Judgment without
being charged that their votes were in
fluenced by dollars or biased by politics.
Fairbanks said there had not been a
disposition on the part of opponents of
the bill to point out the demerits and
propose amendments as much as to tear
down the entire measure that had been
constructed with so much care.
Votes on. Amendment. )
Fairbanks closed before 1 o'clock, the
time set for voting to begin, and Lodge
asked for a vote on the amendment strik
ing out the provision prohibiting the em
ployment of Chinese sailors on American
ships, known as the seamen's clause.
Several Senators desired to be heard on
the bill, and the amendment served as a
text for further discussion. Stewart sup
ported the Lodxre amendment.
Quay expressed his dlsBent from the
"general howl" against the Chinese as
such. Ho" thought tho bill should be
much amended. He said he would be In
favor ,of excluding all Immigrants as well
as Chinese, for a term of Ave years.
Mallory opposed the amendment, and
explained the necessity for the seamen's
clause as a measure of protection to
American sailors. ,
Elklns said the seamen's clause was a
discrimination against American shipping
and in favor of foreign shipping. As to
the general question, he said, we must
excltfde the Chinese, or they will exclude
yus. But ne considered tne mil as opposca
to our treaty with China.
Patterson supported the seamen's clause.
Lodge's amendment to strike out the
seamen's clause prevailed, 47 to 29.
Carmack proposed an amendment, ap
plying the exclusion to Chinese "not citi
zens of the United States," and It was
agreed to. The purpose of the amend
ment Is to allow Chinese born in the
United States or Chinese who had be
come citizens to return to the United
States If at any time they should leave
the country.
Dillingham proposed an amendment ad
mitting "not to exceed five good-faith rep
resentatives of each regularly established
Chinese wholesale house." Dillingham
explained that the amendment was in
the Interest of the growing commerce be
tween the countries and to bring Chinese
buyers to this country.
Teller opposed the amendment as vicious
and as opening the door to evasion of
the exclusion laws. Tho amendment was
lost, 13 to 67.
Quay proposed an amendment that the
exclusion shall not apply to "Chinese
Christians or Chinese who assisted in
the defense of the foreign Legations or
the Pel Tang Cathedral in Pekln in 1900."
In explaining the amendment, Quay paid
a tribute to the Christian religion as the
basis of civilization.
Several Senators spoke against the
amendment on the ground that It would
lead to evasion of the law.
Dolliver referred In glowing ferms to
the heroiem of Minister and Mrs. Conger
residents of Iowa, during the siege or
Pekin, and he expressed the belief that
some adequate recognition should be
glvenfby this Government to those who
aided the American legatloners during
those days of peril.
That part of Quay's amendment admit
ting Chinese Christians was lost without
dTvieion on an aye and no vote; the ad
mission of Chinese soldiers who assisted
Americans daring the siege of Pekln was
and an amendment for that purpose was
unexpectedly carried by tho close vote of
41 to 40. The amendment Incorporates
section 12 of the original bill as a part of
the substitute, and provides the methods
by which Chinese residing In the Insular
territory of the United States (Hawaii
excepted) shall take out certificates of
Identification, etc.
Piatt Substitute Adopted.
The decisive vote was then taken on the
oubstltute proposed by Piatt (Conn.), ex
tending the present exclusion laws, and
this prevailed, 48 to 33, as follows:

The substitute was further perfected by
an amendment proposed by Mitchell, pro
viding the judicial procedure in exclusion
cases in our Insular possessions.
Before the final vote was taken on the
passage of the substitute bill. Hoar gave
notice that he would vote against the
measure, and In this connection he made
an earnest protest against the principle of
exclusion. He believed that everything In
the way of exclusion could be accom
plished without involving the principle of
striking at a particular class or race. Hold
ing, as he did, that every soul had Its
lights, and that these rights were not
dependent on color or race, he recorded
hl3 protest against the measure. The bill
then was pasred, 76 to 1, Hoar being the
only one recording himself in the negative.
Lodge secured an agreement making the
Philippine civil government bill the un
finished business of the Senate, and after
a brief executive session the Senate at 6
o'clock adjourned.

WASHINGTON. April 16. Tho friends
of the Cuban reciprocity bill won a sub
stantial victory In the House today by
carrying a motion to close general da
bate Friday at 3 o'clock. The vote was
153 to 123. Thirty-three -Republicans
voted against the motion, but this de
fection was off-set by 32 Democrats, who
voted with the great body of the Repub
licans for it. Tho strength of the Re
publican opposition to the bill, Judging
by this vote, has decreased six since the
vote was taken on the motion to go Into
committee of the whole to consider the
bill when tho vote stood 167 to 80. The de
bate today was featureless. The speak
ers -were Roberts (Rep. Mass.), Patter
son (Dem. Tenn.) and Cochran (Dem.
Mo.) for the bill, and Bartlett (Dem.
Ga.), Corliss (Rep. Mich.), Broussard
(Dem. La.), Bell (Pop. Colo.) and H. C
Smith (Rep. Mich.) against It.
The Proceedings.
There was a very Interesting situation
In the House at the opening of the ses
sion today. Payne, the majority leader,
again attempted to secure an agree
ment to close general debate on tho,Cu
ban bill at 3 o'clock Friday. After some
sparring, WlHIams (Dem. Miss.) ob
jected, whereupon Payne placed hi3
proposition In the form of a motion, and
upon that motion demanded the previous
question. On tho division upon the
Drevious question the Republican op
ponents of the bill voted with the Demo
crats, nine-tenths of whom, opposed tho
demand.
While the House was dividing, Wil
liams withdrew his objection to the ar
rangement suggested by Payne, but
Jones (Rep. Wash.) immediately re
newed It, and tho division proceeded
The demand for tho previous question
was sustained. 103 to 99, but on a ris
ing vote on Payne's montlon to close de
bate on Friday, the opponents of tho
motion won, 105 to 120. ,
The announcement of the result gave
the Republican leaders a surprise and
caused some excitement. Watson (Ind.)
tho Republican whip, demanded the ayea
and noes. The demand was sustained by
the friends of the bill and the roll was
called. The voting was followed with
Intense Interest.
While the vote was proceeding, several
conferences were held on the Republi
can side. Tawney (Rep. Minn.), one of
the leaders of the opposition, had agreed
with Payne yesterday, after conferences
with his friends, that there should be no
opposition to the motion to close de
bate, and he was busily engaged in
pursuadlng his friends to keep the agree
ment. A number of Democratic friends
of the bill broke away from their leaders
and the result was that Payne's motion
was carried easily, 153 to 123. Thirty
three Republicans voted against the mo
tion, Including Cushman (Rep. Wash.)
and Jones (Rep. Wash.). Thirty-two
Democrats voted for the motion.
It was agreed that tomorrow and Fri
day the Houso should meet at 11 o'clock.
Roberts (Rep. Mass.), the first speaker
today, supported the bill, taking oc
casion, under the latitude allowed for
debate, to make a vigorous argument In
favor of an amendment to the Dingley
law to place hides on the free list.
Bartlett (Dem. Ga.) opposed the bill
and in the course of his remarks criti
cised Richardson, the minority leader,
for his failure to file his views on the
pending measure. He declared that if
Demlcrats were to support Republican
measures, the ranking minority member
of the ways and means committee should
bo able to furnish good reasons for such
a course.
Corliss (Rep. Mich.), in opposing the
bill, said it did not embrace the first
principle of reciprocity.
Broussard (Dem. La.) made an impas
sioned speech against the bill, which, he
said, would ruin the cane-sugar industry
of Louisiana and transfer It to Cuba.
Broussard Is a sugar planter and said
that this year. In view of this prospective
legislation, he had thrown his cane seed
away and planted his fleld3 In rice.
Bell (Pop. Colo.) also opposed the bill,
arguing that it was utterly indefensible
from any standpoint, In that it proposed
to take the tariff off raw material and
leave untouched the tariff on the refined
product. He criticised severely the at
tltudo of the Democrats toward the bill.
He said they taunted their Republican
adversaries with supporting a measure
that was 20 per cent Democratic, for
getting that in advocating It themselves
they were accepting a measure that
was SO per cent Republican.
H. S. Smith (Rep. Mich.) closed the do
bate for the day with a strong speech
against the bill. If the pending bill had
originated on the Democratic sldB, he
said, where it should have originated,
the Republican leaders, Payne, Dalzell
and Grosvenor, would have ridiculed It
out of the House.

ally indorses Peruna, the great catarrh cure and tonic. In a recent letter to
The Peruna Medlclno Company, at Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington,
D. C, Senator Roach says: K
"Persuaded by a friend I have used Peruna as a tonic, and I am
glad to testify that It has greatly helped me In strength, vigor and
appetite. I have been advised by friends that It Is remarkably effi
cacious as a cure for the armost universal complaint of catarrh."

pounds, and I believe It is Peruna that
has given me such good health." E.
J. Maklnson.
As a result of the changeable cli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal diseases
known to man. Nearly one-third of
the people of the United States are
afflicted with catarrh In some of its
many phases and stages. Add to this
the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
ther fact that It is capable of produc
ing a great many other diseases, and
we begin to realize the true nature of
this dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in any city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh a spe
cialty. Of course, a great deal of good
Is accomplished In this "nay, but as yet
a comparatively small number of the
people can avail themselves of this
treatment because of the great ex
pense necessarily attached to It.
To all such people Dr. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as a great
boon. Not only Is It more successful
'n curing catarrh than the treatment
of the catarrh specialists, but It is
within the reach of every person In
this land. Peruna can be bought at
any drug store, and Is a remedy with
out equal for catarrh In all form3,
coughs, colds, bronchitis, consump
tion, and all climatic diseases of Win
ter. Peruna is not a guess, nor an experi
ment; it is an absolute, scientific cer- .
talnty. Peruna cures catarrh wher
ever located. Peruna has no substi
tutesno rivals. Insist upon having
Peruna. Let no one persuade you that
some other remedy will do nearly as
well. There Is no other sjstemlc rem
edy for catarrh but Peruna.
Mr. Byron J. Kirkhuff, attorney,
counsell o r - a t-
law writes from
C91 Gates ave.,
Brooklyn, N Y.,
the following:
"I have used
your Peruna for
catarrh and find
Its curative
powers all you
recommend. It
cured me of a
very bad attack
and though I
suffered for
years I feel en
tirely relieved,
nnd If It will
benefit others, I
gladly give it
my indorsement." B. J. Kirkhuff.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of jour case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
