THE MORNING OREGOfflAff, THJJRfiDAT, JUNE 12, 1DQZ. GABLE BILL KILLED House Strikes Out the En acting Clause BY A VOTE OF 116 TO 77 Maclcny- Can Xorr Proceed "With His Line From San. FrnnclKco to the Philippines br "Way of Hawaii Th Hous yesterday dispatched the CorJUs cable bill by the same .method it adopted yesterday In the jease of the forost reserve bUL It struck out the enacting clause of the measure by a vote of 116 to 77, thus giving no op portunity to test the strength of the Dal tell substitute, -which authorized the President to contract -with a. private company for the la) las oZ a cable. The speakers were Shackleford (Dem. Mo), Mann (Rep. HL). Morrell (Rep. Pa.) and Tompkins (Rep. O.) for the bill, and Richardson Dem. Ala,), New lands (Pop. Nev.). Loud (Rep. Cal.j and Cannon (Rep. 111.) against It. WASHINGTON, June 1L Without pre liminary business the House today went into committee of the whole and resumed the debate -upon the Corliss Pacific cable bill. Corliss supplemented his speech of yesterday in favor of a bill, with a few additional remarks, in the course of which he declared he had learned within 2t hours that not a foot of the proposed Commercial PacISc cable had yet been laid. Richardson (Dem. Ala.) then took the floor In opposition. He called attention to tho speech of Cannon yesterday. In which the latter showed that the appropria tions for the next fiscal year already ex ceeded the estimated revenues by $51,000, 000, and urged this as the first reason "why the Government should not enter upon the expensive work of building a cable to the Philippines. Ho referred at some length to the possibilities In the de velopment of wireless telegraphy, and argued that it would be unwise on the threshold of the development of the new system for the Government to expend $15,000,000 or ?25,O00,000 for a submarine cable which might be valueless In a few years. It was better, he insisted, to al low a private company to take whatever responsibility there was Involved. Richardson then read the contract un der the post roads act of 1SS6. "which tho Commercial Cable Company agreed to make with the Secretary of the Treas ury, covering the sale of the cable in case of necessity, to the Government, the priority of Government messages, the rates to be charged (not to exceed 50 cents per word to Hawaii and 51 a word to the Philippines and China), with half Tate for Government business, the con trol of tho cable by the Government In time of war, etc. He argued that these terms were in every way advantageous to the Government RichardMm, while replying to the argu ment of Corliss, submitted yesterday, un dertook to score Corliss by commenting in a sarcastic vein on a synopsis of the latter's speech, which he said had been distributed before Its delivery, Cot1Ip3 was described as saying certain things with "dramatic effect,-" etc. -. Corliss asked If the Attorney-General had not refused to consider 'the contract which the Commercial Cable Company had offered to make. Richardson replied that the Attorney General and other Government officials had declined to Interfere in the matter, and that the company was proceeding to lay the cable under the post-roads act. In explanation of the reason the table was being built In England, he said the telegraph company was building a cable that they guaranteed for two years. Ko other company would guarantee a cable for 30 days. Richardson declared that as an economic business proposition the Government cablo was unjustifiable, and he quoted from the commerce commit tee's report against a former bill of this kind, to the effect that it would cost tho Government 515,000,000, and would chiefly benefit 300 foreigners and 100 American citizens. He read a letter from John W. Mackay, of the Commercial Cable Com pany, guaranteeing that the company would build an all-American cable and not touch upon foreign soli. The objection to the project of the cable company "be cause the cable was not built by Ameri can labor, he said, would not stand in vestigation. He produced figures to show that only 12 per cent of the cost of a cable was expended for wages. John W. MnckayTs Letter. The letter of Mr. Mackay was addressed to Hepburn, chairman of the committee, and says: "My cable engineer, through your Irind offices and the courtesy of Mr. Moody, the Secretary of the Navy, and of Admiral Bradford, has been allowed to examine the charts of soundings on file in the Navy Department, showing that It is feas ible to land a submarine cable on the Island of Guam, in the Pacific Ocean. Mr. Cuttriss has Just telegraphed mo that these soundings show that such a land ing Is practicable. This removed the only doubt as to the feasibility of an American' cable from San Francisco to Manila, and I write this letter to you to state positively that the submarine cable which the Commercial Pacific Cable Company had agreed to construct, lay and operate from San Francisco to Manila will be an all-American cable, and will not touch on any foreign island or territory whatsoever. I give you my personal as surance to that effect The first section of this cable will be in operation in Novem ber. 1902, and we expect to be able to .ar range for the remaining sections to be completed and opened for traffic during the year 1304." Newlands (Pop. Xev.) defended John W. Mackay. president of vthe Commercial Cable Company, from the aspersions cart upon him yesterday. He paid a high trib ute to Mr. Mackay, who, he said, had laid the foundations of his great fortune In a humble way In Nevada. Instead of being a monopolist, he said, Mr. Mackay had entered a contest on the sea against the great Atlantic cable monopoly, and on land against the Gould telegraph sys tem. He also had built the Hayti cable, the control of which was surrendered to the United States during the Spanish War. In the same way, he said, the cable to be built to the Philippines also would be at the service of the Government in time of emergency. Mr. Mnckay, he said, was noted for his robust Americanism. The very name of J. W. Mackay, he said, was a guarantee of the legitimacy of the en terprise. Loud (Rep CaL) opposed the bill on tb.e ground that government operation of the telegraph systems in Europe was not a success. Since 1S72 England lost about $35,000,000 In the operation of her telegraph system. If a private company had such a monopoly as England had. it would have made large sums of money. He concluded by expressing the hope that the House would kill all the bills and leavo the Pa cific Ocean open to any company which cared to undertake the laying of a cable. Mann (Rep, 111.) closed the debate with a speech In favor of the measure. Adamson (Dem. Ga.) moved to strike out the enacting clause of the bill. To prove that the Commercial Cable Company was proceeding with the work of constructing the cable it proposed to lay, he read a telegram from London, dated today, and signed by G, 33, Ward, vice-president, cer- tifylng that 1063 nautical -miles of the cable to be laid between San Francisco and Honolulu had been completed, ,and that" the "work Tvas proceeding at the rate of 26 miles a day. The cablegram said that a steamer would lcavo with the cable for San Francisco before August 1. HIH Kep. Conn.) advocated the adop tion of Adamson's motion. ,, Tompllns (Rep. O.), a member of the commerce committee, made an earnest speech In favor of the bill. The Govern ment, he argued, should have undisputed and uninterrupted communication with its insular possessions. Cannon (Rep. 111.), chairman cf the ap propriation committee, then threw the weight of his Influence against the bill. He always favored- the cable, but always had believed that a private company would come along and lay one without ex pense to the United States. Here was such a company offering to build a cable to the Philippines by way of Honolulu. Cannon said his principal objection to the Dalzell substitute was that.lt delayed the cable. Adamson's motion to strike out the en acting clause on an aye and no vote was carried, 116 to 77. A Senate bill was passed to authorize the town of Lawton, O. T.. to use $150,000 from the sale of town lots for municipal Improvements: Anadarko. O. T., $60,000. and Hobart, O. T., 550.000. Another Sen ate bill was passed to retire four surviv ors of the Lady Franklin Bay expedition as Sergeants in the Signal Service. At 5:10 P. M. the House adjourned. Locatlon of Mining: Lands. WASHINGTON, Juno 11. Senator Kearns, of Utah, from the committee on mines and mining, today reported a hill amending the laws relating to the loca tion of mineral lands. The amendment gives locators the exclusive right to pos session of all tho surface land within their lines, and of "all velnt, lodes, etc.," throughout the entire depth which lie within such surface lines extending down ward vertically. Locations are to be 1500 feet square in all cases in which previous locations do not prevent. The existing legal provision concerning tunnels is re pealed. The present law In regard to lo cations gives an area of 500 by 1500 feet, but permits owners to follow tho vein out side the lines. The effect of the proposed amendment will be to extend the area and to confine mining within the surface lines vertically extended. For, n. Full Itemized Statement. WASHINGTON.

(Continued from First Page.) left us a Nation overwhelmed with dis aster and almost in despair. The Repub lican party shows you a Nation whose traffic Is so congested that the greatest railway systems in the world find It Im possible to move the offered tonnage over them. William McKinley found an army of tramps and Coxey marchers. He left us an industrial hive, where wage-earners of every class or calling receive the hishe6t pecuniary reward their services ever com manded. He found us Insular, and has left us a world power, respected not more for the valor of our arms, not more for the genius of civilization, than for the moder ation and mercy manifested toward the conquered. He waged a -war with Spain, and in less than three years from tho breaking out of hostilities made Spain again our cordial friend. He found us nearly 40 years after the Civil War di vided, and left us truly United States of America." Ex-Congressman Yardley reported and read the platform, which was adopted. It makes acknowledgment of "the wisdom of our United States Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress, who have assisted in maintaining the National prestige and In promoting the welfare of the state." laments the .National calamity "In the un time and tragic death of President Mc Kinley," and continues: "To President Roosevelt and his Ad ministration we give our heartiest ap proval and -support. We recognize the fidelity with which he has carried out the policies of his lamented predecessor. He is strong in conviction, wise in ac tion, thoroughly American, of high pa triotic ideals, and his leadership estab lishes confidence both In tho success of Republican principles and the continued prosperity of the country. We pledge ourselves to his. renomlnatlon to the great office -which ho has filled with such ability and patriotism." The achievements in the Philippine Is lands under American rule are recounted, the policy of our Government there is heartily approved, and our Army thanked "for the courage and success -with which they have brought the insurrection against tho United States to an end. While wo deplore any cases of cruelty to the natives that may have occurred and approve proper punishment and con demnation whenever guilt Is proved, we demand justice for our men and due con sideration for the sufferings and provo cations they have undergone." The recommendation of President Roosevelt that the United States should enter Into reciprocal trade relations with the Republic of Cuba Is cordially in dorsed. On the tariff and trusts the platform says: "We reaffirm our unswerving loyalty to tho Republican principles of a pro tective tariff and deprecate any sugges tion, under existing circumstances, of a general revision of the existing tariff laws. "We heartily approve the action of tho President of the United States, through his Attorney-General, In Insti tuting proceedings to check tho growth of unlawful combinations intended to raise the price of commodities at the expense of the consumer, and we recom mend that similar action be taken in all cases where the people are oppressed by trusts or combinations through the Ille gal manipulation of fuel or food sup plies' The roll was then called and Penny packer was nominated on the first ballot, the vote being: Pennypacker -338 Elkln IS2 The customary motion to make the nomination unanimous was omitted.

TIME FIXED FOR. 'VOTE! SENATE WILL DISPOSE OF CANAL SILL JUNE 2.0. Fairbanks Speaks In Favor of the Panama RouteElection xf Sen ators by Direct Vote , WASHINGTON, June 1L Just before adjournment today, the Senate agreed to vote finally on the Nicaragua bill, and all pending amendments Thursday, June IS, the voting to begin at 2 P. M. Before consideration of the canal question was resumed today, the motion of Wellington to discharge the committee on privileges and elections from further consideration of the resolution providing for the submis sion of an amendment to the constitution for the election of Senators by the people was defeated, 21 to 35, after a sharp de bate. Fairbanks, in a carefully considered speech, favored construction of the Isth mian canal by the Panama route. Orig inally he said he had favored the Nicara gua route, but an investigation of the sub ject, coupled with tho determination of the Isthmian Commission, had Induced him to change his mind in favor of the Panama route. He argued that that route not only would be cheaper in the first Instance, but cheaper In operation after the canal was constructed. He earn estly favored the construction of the ca nal, and resented! the intimation that those who favored the Panama route were In the leaet opposed to a canal. The Froceedlnsn". Soon after the Senate convened, a House "bill amending the present law providing for the Issuance of peesports to persons who owe allegiance to the United States, whether they be citizens of .the United States or not, was passed. It was ex plained by Foraker that the bill elmply was to provide for the Issuance of p'ass porto to citizens of Porto Rico and the Philippines. Several days ago Berry asked for con sideration of the motion of Wellington to discharge the committee on privileges and elections from further consideration of the resolution providing for an amendment to the Constitution that Senators should be elected by the people. In accordance with an arrangement made then. Berry today called up the motion. After some discussion of tho motion of Wellington, Clapp discussed the merits of the resolution, arguing In favor of the election by the people. The movement. ho said, was evidence of a determination of the people to participate In the election of Senators, and It would be impossible ever to dam tho ever-swelling flood of public opinion. Vest eald he "was anxious to have a equare Issue on the question presented, but he was opposed to the Depew amend ment, and was opposed to the resolution, as it came from the House. He had been a Democrat for more than SO "years, but he was not In favor of the declarations in Democratic platforms for this resolution State or National to dictate how ho should vote on any question. He was op posed to the pending resolution because he believed that when the time came for the people to be protected against their Ignorance and Imbecility, it "was a notice that popular government was a failure." He inclined to the belief that this was a plan adopted by adroit politicians to in duce the people to believe that they were purer than come other people. The motion to discharge tho committee was defeated, 21 to 25, as follows: Bailey Dubois, Mason Bate Foraker Nelson Berry Foster. La Patterson Blackburn Heltfeld Perkins Carrnack Jones, Ark Taliaferro Clapp McLaurinMl. Teller j'E5 Cockrell Martin Tillman NOES-35. Aldrich Allison Bard Burnham Burrows Burton Cullom Deboe Dietrich Dillingham Dolllvcr Elkins Fairbanks McComos Foster, Wash McCumber Frye MoMHlln Galllnger Millard Gamble Piatt. Conn Hale Piatt, N. Y. Hanna Scott Hawley Spooncr Hoar Stewart Kean Vest Kerns Wctmoro Klttredge Consideration then was resumed of the Isthmian canal project, Fairbanks ad dressing the Senate. Fairbanks declared himself in favor of the Panama route. His predilections and .opinions, founded upon fragmentary and "unsatisfactory Informa tion, he raid, had been entirely In favor of the Nicaragua route. But If weight was to be given to the opinion of our own Impartial commissioners, men of ex perience and capacity, ho declared, we must discard the Nicaragua and select the Panama route. He dlscusaed the steps leading up to the formation of the Walker Commission, and Its two reports, the first favorable to Nicaragua, and the second favorable to Panama, after the Panama Canal Company had offered to sell Its rights and property for 510.000.000. The commission, he declared, had acted with entire nslstency. and the reasons which led It to reconsider and change Its rec ommendatlonn were absolutely sound and controlling. If. said the Senator, we had but to consider the relative -cost of con struction of the two canals, there would be a saving upon the Panama routo of substantially $5,500,000. The commission had disclosed a singular land Important fact, one which should be distinctly borne In mind; and that is that It would cost Tl.300,000 less per annum to operate the Panama than to operate the Nicaragua route. This sum, capitalized on the basis of the Interest upon tho National bonds, equivalent to 2 per cent, amounted to 565. 000.000. Add to this the amount saved In construction, and, he said, we have a total sum to the credit of the Panama route of 570.500,009. The Senator discussed at considerable length the question of title of property of the Panama Canal Company. He did not think, he said, that the contention that It was Impossible for the United States to secure absolute title to the property to be well founded, but said he believed that the United States would take the property If It could purchase it free and clear of all demands of stockholders and considerations, and that It would not rest under any legal, equitable or moral obli gation to pay one dollar beyond the 540, O00.OQO, the price asked by the canal com pany. The views of the minority of the committee with respect to the power of the company to convey to the United States a good title, be said, are perfectly sound and consistent with the practice of the French and American courts. Discussing the question of paying for the proposed canal, Fairbanks said the cost of the work should be distributed over a reasonable number Of years by the Issue of bonds, so that It might b6 lightly borne. In closing, the Senator combatted the suggestion that those who -opposed the construction of any Isthmian canal, are in favor of tho Panama route, believing that its consideration would operate at least to delay the enterprise. Warren, Proctor and Cockrell were named as conferees on the Military Acad emy appropriation bill. Stewart then called up his motion to re consider the vote by which tho treaty between the United States and the Choc taw and Chickasaw Indians was ratified. Bailey had an amendment he desired to make to the bill ratifying the treaty, but when he explained It relation to the cases of the Indians pending In the courts, Stewart announced that he would 6ppose the motion to reconsider for such pur poses. The entire question was discussed at length by Stewart, Piatt (Conn.), .Bailey and Jones (Ark.). Pending a final disposition of the mo tion. Morgan announced that an arrange- r ment had been made to YOte on thp pend ing Isthmian canal bill and amendments Thursday, June 19. at 2 P. M.. no debate to be permitted after that hour. The Senate agreed to the arrangement Condition of Klajf t Saxony. BERLIN, June lL-Klng Albert of Sax- ony, who has been fQ for some time, has so far Improved that the Saxon Cabinet has dissolved Its permanent sitting.

The King and his suite wore a dress ex actly similar to that of tho Americans, except that His Majesty wore across his shlrt-rronl the blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter. 'Greetings had scarcely been exchanged before dinner was announced, and tho party became somewhat mixed up. Mr. Choate found himself leading the Queen Into the dining-room ahead of the King, who had Mrs. Choate on his arm. The table was elaborately decorated with American Beauty roses. In the beginning, the banquet proceeded somewhat formally, but the vivacious humor of the King and Queen soon put the guests at their tease. Throughout the dinner music was ren dered by an excellent band. Finally, Queen Alexandra gave the sign and the ladles rose and retired to the drawing-room. Mr. Choate then walked, around the table and took the now vacant' seat next to His Majesty, and the King and the American Ambassador entered into a confidential conversation. Before the conversation had got well going, Mr. Choate wnt over to J. P. Morgan and brought him to King Edward, and for the next half hour the American millionaire and King Edward talked earnestly to gether. Lord Lansdowne, Mr. Choate, Lord jtosebery and others equally known to fame respectfully sat aloof while the master of the Empire and the master of millionaires threshed out their respectlvo Ideas. To use the words of one of the guests who sat near them, "Mr. Morgan and the Kfng seemed equally at home, and we wondered when we were going to get a chance to join the ladles in the drawing room."

What took place during the course of the audi ence is entirely private, but the officials commented on the length of the Interview. Everything connected with Mr. Reld's re ception here emphasizes the desire of Great Britain specially to honor the United States.

"During that time we doctored with three of the best doctors In this part of the country, but they did her no good. She fell off In flesh from 1S4 pounds to SO pounds, arid was unable to do anything; In fact, was confined to her bed a good part of the time. Everything she ate she would throw up. even water. The last doctor we had examined her and said she had cancer of the stomach, and said he coold do her no good except to give her something to relieve the pain, and that he would not advise us to have an operation performed. This coming from one whom I have always had great confidence in. you cannot Imagine my feelings and thoughts. "It was then we decided to quit doctor ing and try Peruna, and from the begin ning It helped her. She is now able to do all the housework. She Is gaining In flesh, and I think will soon be back to her former weight.
