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.

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

TIME FIXED FOR. 'VOTE!

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

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

Dyspepsia Is Catarrh of the
Stomach.
Many Women Have Catarrh
of the Stomach and do not
know It.
Pe-ru-na Cures Catarrh Where
ever Located.
For the most ac,ute cases of dyspepsia
and the most chronic and stubborn cases
of catarrh of the stomach, Peruna Is an
unfailing cure.
MT. E. E. Gaston, of Milton, Iowa, In
a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, says:
"My wife has been sick with stomach
trouble for almost three years.
"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.
'To make a long story short, we owe
her Ufa to Peruna. for I am satisfied had
we not tried It she would now be In the
grave."
If you do not derive .prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be glad to give you his valuable advlco
