---T
The Philippine bill was thrown open

WASHINGTON, June 25. Rev. Dr.
Couden. chaplain of the House, in his
invocation today prayed for the restora
tion to health of Kins Edward. "Hear
us," he said, "when we pray for the King;
of Eneland. Grant, if in accord with
thy will, that he may be restored to
strength to guide ana control nis peopie
in Justice and equity under they guid
ance." Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee, .called up the conference" re
port on the sundry civil appropriation
bill. He explained that the report was a
complete agreement upon all Items In dis
pute. As finally agreed to, the bill car
ries about 560,000,000, being about $1,000,000
less than the current law. The report
was adopted.
Hull, chairman of the committee on mil
itary affairs, called up the conference re
port on the Army appropriation bllL It
closed up all matters in dispute between
the two Houses, except the three Items
which caused the temporary deadlock
with tho Senate. The report was adopted.
Hull then moved that the House recede
from Its adherence to Jts disagreement
to Uenate amendment No. 14, which car
ried $1,000,000 for temporary barracks In
the Philippines arid in the United States,
and agree to It with an amendment fix
ing the appropriation at $3,350,000.
Richardson (Dem. Tenn.) made the
point of order that the House, having
adhered, could not now recede. The
Speaker overruled the point of order.
"Then we arc to take the back track,"
observed Richardson.
Hull explained that tho Senate was will
ing to make concessI6ns except on this
point. Ho said that one of the Senators
announced that unless the House yielded
upon this point, the Senate would never
surrender and the till would die. Con
sidering the near approach of the end of
the session, Hull thought it advisable to
yield.
Cannon said that the House would win
its contention, and that no legislation
should go upon the bill. The only con
cession would be an increase of $350,000 In
the pending item, as the House originally
appropriated $3,000,COO.
Richardson contended that the pending
proposition was a square backdown.
Hay (Dem. Va.) opposed Hull's motion,
because the original estimates called for
only $3,000,000. Hull's motion prevailed
130 to 70. The House further insisted on
Its disagreement to the other two amend
ments, and the bill was sent back to con
ference. Foss (Rep. III.), chairman of the naval
affairs committee, called up the naval ap
propriation bill. It also was a partial
agreement. No agreement was reached
on the question of building ships in Gov
rnment yards, or for five submarine torpedo-boats.
The report was adopted.
On Foss' motion, the House insisted on
further disagreement to all the other Sen
ate amendments, except those for sub
marine boats.
Loudenslager (Rep. N. J.) thereupon
moved to recede and concur In these
amendments, and his motion was sup
ported by W W. Kltchln (Dem. N. C.),
Cowherd (Dem. Mo.), Vandlver (Dem.
Mo.), Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.), Gardner (Rep.
N. J.) and Roberts (Rep. Mass.), and op
posed by Clayton (Dem. Ala.), Watson
(Rep. Ind.), Tayler (Rep. O.), Cannon
(Rep. 111.) and Foss (Rep. I1L). It was
defeated 63 to 95. The bill then was sent
back to conference
Consideration of the Philippine civil
government bill was resumed, and the
bill was read for amendment under the
flve-mlnure rule.
On motion of Bartlett (Dem. Ga.) an
amendment was adopted to allow appeals
to be made from the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the Philippines to the
Supreme. Court of the United States in all
rases Involving the construction of the
Constitution of the United States.
Hill (Rep. Conn.) offered an amendment
to the provision for a legislative assembly
In the islands, to the effect that this pro
vision should not go into effect if a census
Df the islands should not show 5 per cent
of the population o be qualified voters.
Cooper, chairman of the Insular com
mittee, vigorously opposed the amend
ment. He quoted Governor Taft as say
ing that Jt would be a calamity unless a
legislative assembly were provided In the.
civil government bill. "Gentlemen pro
less to be In favor of civil government"
said he. "yet they propose actually to
continue an v arbitrary military govern
ment in power." Hill's amendment was
defeated.
On motion of LIttlefleld (Rep. Me), an
amendmont was adopted to prohibit one
corporation from owning stock in another
corporation. s
Alter 15 of the 50 pages of the bill were
completed, Hepburn (Rep. la.) presented
the conference report on the isthmian
canal bill, and it was ordered printed un
der the rule.
At 4 o'clock the House took a recess
until 8 oclock.
There were no speakers at the night
session and immediately after reassem
bling, at 8:05 P. M.; tiro House adjourned
until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, June 25. The agree
ment on the sundry civil appropriation
bill, which was concurred In by the
"House today, strikes out $574,350 of the

STATEHOOD BILL.
Measure to Be Reported Next
slon May Admit but Two.
Ses-
WASHINGTON, June 25. By an ar-J
rangement effected today by the divergent
interests in the Senate committee on
territories and subsequently ratified by the
Senate, a territorial statehood bill will be
reported to and considered by the Senate
early in December, -when Congress re
convenes. In the meeting that resulted
In this agreement, the fact developed
that the principal reason for -opposing
Senator Quay's motion for the omnibua
statehood bill was for the purpose or
preventing the bill going on the calendar
In unamended lorm. Some of the Repub
lican members of the committee are
inclined to lavor the admission of one or
two of the territories, but not all three
of them, 4ind they desire, therefore, to
amend the measure lu committee. This
they will have an opportunity to attempt.
Senator Bate said the Democrats accepted
the programme only because it had be
come apparent that action could not be
had at the present session. He said the
Democratic elde of the Senate was solid
in Its support of the admission of Okla
homa, New Mexico and Arizona.
The Republican members say it does
not follow from today's agreement that
the omnibus statehood bill will become
the unfinished business December 10 next.
They make the point that the agreement
provides for a report by the committee
on territories to precede the consideration
of the bill and whatsoever bill may be
reported will become the unfinished busi
ness. That may or may not be tho
omnibus bill, and It Is evident that the
present desire of the majority of the
committee Is that It should be 'added
that any bill reported from the committee
on territories will be open to amendment
In the Senate.
Xomlnatlons nnd Confirmations.
WASHINGTON June 25. The President
today sent the following nominations to
the Senate:
John B. Richards, of Kansas, to be

and Major Tasker H. Bliss,
commissary, to be Brigadier-Generals.

GIVES UP MANCHURIA.
China Renounces All Claims of
Sovereignty in Russia's Favor,
LONDON, June 25. In a dispatch from
Pekln tne correspondent there of the Daily
Mail says he hears upon the highest
authority that In the recent mining
and railways concessions agreement with
Russia, a clause exists under which China
virtually renounces all claims to sover
eignty In Manchuria. .
REBELLION .IN NORTH CHINA.
Efforts to Crush Insurgents Fail
Terrible ainssneres,
VICTORIA. B. a, June 25. Very con
tradictory reports come from China of
the rebellion In Chi W. The Imperial of
ficers have sent out reports claiming vic
tories over the rebels, but theps are not
altogether credited by the papers. A
dispatch to the North China News from
Pao Ting says:
"From latest accounts, obtained from
reliable sources In the' north. It Is asserted
that the news given out by the officials
at Pao Ting of the victories of Viceroy
Yuan's troops and, we may add, the mas
sacres perpetrated by them In the districts
pf Chuluhslen, KuangUngsIen and Woih
sein. Is a mere fiction, and that In spite
of the many recent defeats of the rebels,
their ranks are being constantly rein
forced and a determined front Is In conse
quence yet presented against the govern
ment forces. In view of this, the latter
have been compelled to retire to the vi
cinity of the cities of Chentlng, Shunto
and Nankunghslen, where many of the
regiments are being reorganized by Vice
roy Yuan's orders. Tho majority of these
troops have been charged with wholesale
plundering and maltreating the inhabi
tants of the peaceful districts through
which thy had to pass when en route to
the disturbed districts, and, furthermore,
when In the rebel territory they have pil
laged, burned and destroyed no less- than
37 large mud-walled towns and villages,
ruthlessly massacring all tho Inhabitants,
old and young, male and female, who
could not escape in time. This has been
lately reported to the throne by a censor."
An official report says that 12,000 Impe
rial troops defeated 22.000 rebels near Nan
kunghslen, the fight lasting -seven hours.
The report continues:
"The insurgents rushed forward bravely
but rashly to the attack, but wero stopped
half way by a stream of bullets, shot and
shell from the troops, who had halted
and taken advantage of every cover at
hand. Then there was a faltering In the
Insurgent ranks, who, seeing a cavalry
brigade deploying to take them on the
fianku, wavered, broke and fled, making
for their walled camps, but the cavalry
was on them before half of them had got
within 300 yards of shelter and a regular
massacre ensued. Thope "who had got In
to their trenches and camps, however, ral-
lied, and by their flro drove off the caval
ry and covered the retreat of their sur
viving comrades. The cavalrv havlne re
tired, the artillery soon made it too hot
for the insurgents, who finally fled In con
fusion toward the south. The City of
Nankunghsien. which had been captured
by the Insurgents, made a very brave and
desperate stand, their trenches being
choked with dead -and wounded before
they would flee from the troops."
An American syndicate has applied for
a concession to build a railway from Pe
kln to a point on the Yangtse, opposite
Klukiaug, and has offered a sum of 1,200,
000 taels for the Iwo Park, should the
concession ' be granted. The Empress
Dowager has signified her consent, pro
vided that the syndicate Is really prepared
to put up the capital necessary for build
ing the road. Concessions have been
granted for two other roads that would
serve the same purpose. Another Ameri
can syndicate Is said to be seeking a char
ter for a line from Amoy to Hankow, and
a high official Is reported to be supporting
the application.
The cholera returns from JCorth China
inspire uneasiness. Six fatal cases have
occurred at a place on tho Pclho, above
Taku. There are about 100 patients In the
City of Tien Tsln, five cases in Tien Tsln
foreign settlement, four of which. Chinese,
have ended fatally? and the filth, a Jap
anese, is under treatment; and there have
also been five caocs among the Japanese,
German and "French troops at Taku, and
two have proved fatal.
At last reports the rebels In Kwang Si
were gaining ground in KwelHn, the cap
ital of the province being besieged by
them.

STATEHOOD BILL SHtLVED
QUAY AGREES TO CARRY IT OVER
UNTIL NEXT SESSION.
Conference Report on Army
Agreed to, "Which Passes
the Menscrc.
Bill
WASHINGTON, June 23. In a few
minutes today the Senate disposed for
this session of the omnibus statehood
question, which has been pending lor Sev
eral days. Beverldge, chairman of the
committee on territories, announced that
a report on the bill before the committee
would be made on the third day of. the
next session. This was satisfactory to
Quay, who. alter securing an agreement
that the Teport should be unfinished busi
ness on and after December 10 untll.lt
was disposed of, withdrew his motion to
QUEEN ALEXANDRA OF ENGLAND
HIIHjHHEflHHBYt
WHO IS FAITHFUL IN HER ATTENDANCE AT THE; KING'S BED-
SIDE.
discharge the committee from further
consideration of the measure.
After McCumber had discussed the pend
ing pure iQod bill and GalUnger had deliv
ered an extended argument to show tnat
the prosperity of the country was due
to the operation of the Dlngley tariff
law, the Senate took up the calendar and
passed a large number of bills of minor
Importance. The conference report on the
Army appropriation bill was agreed to,
thus passing that measure and eliminat
ing the friction which has existed between
the two Houses over it.
Tho chaplain, in his prayer, at the
opening of the Senate, invoked "blessings
upon our sister nation, England, which
holds, with ub, the sacred trust of Chris
tian progress. We remember her tears
and prayers for us when our great ruler
fell. And we now have Christian sympa
thy and brotherly concern in this her
hour of sorrow. Biers her King, nna
give him a happy Issue out of his pres
ent sickness."
Pending the transaction of further busi
ness. Quay made a statement concern
ing hla motion to discharge the. terri
tories committee, from consideration of
the territorial statehood bill. He saia
yesterday that he wouldi permit no more
business to be done at this session of the
Senate by unanimous consent unless tnis
motion wos disposed of. He did not want
that statement to be misconstrued. He and
other Senators, who believed with film,
desired nothing but a day in court. He
hoped that the bill would be reported
either favorably or negatively and he ap
pealed to Bcveridge, chairman of the
committee on territories, to ascertain
what might be expected from the com
mittee. Beverldge replied that if that
was Quay's position, he was prepared to
say the committee would report the
statehood bill on the third day of the
next -session. Quay said that was satis
factory to him and to the Republicans,
at least of the committee on territories.
After some further consideration of the
matter. Quay secured unanimous consent!
that December 10 next the statehood bill
should be made the unfinished business
and should be continued as such until
disposed of.
Bate, a member of the committee on
territories, said Quay's position -w en
tlrely satisfactory to the minority" ol the
Senate. With the agreement made. Quay
withdrew Bis motion to discharge the
territories committee from further con
sideration of the statehood bill..
The conference report pn the sundry
civil bill was agreed to. The bill will
ndw go to the President.
The bill to prevent tho 'adulteration,
misbranding and Imitation of foods, bever
ages, candlee, drugs and ."condiments In
the District of Columbia and the terri
tories and for regulating Interstate trat
flc therein was laid before the Senate,
and McCumber spoke In favor of the
measure, While McCumber was speaking,
he was interrupted by Proctor, who called
up a message from, the House In respect
to the Army appropriation bill. The mes
sage showed that the House had receded
from Its announced purpose not to con
sider the Senate, amendment In raising
the appropriation for barracks and quar
ters from' $3,000,000 to 4,000,000. and agreed
to make"the appropriation for the pur
pose $3,250,000,
"So," said Proctor, in answer to an
Inquiry, "tlje Senate retains Its honor, so
to speak, apd Its right to amend appro
priations made by the House."
Proctor's motion that the Senate con
cur in tWo action of the llouso as to this
amendment, and recede from the other
amendment in controversy, was agreed to
without further comment. This action
rendeft the unpleasantness between the
Senate1 and the House a closed incident.
The bill now goes to the President, At
the conclusion of McCumbcrs speech.
Gn'Unger addressed the Senate on his
resolution offered yesterday declaring
that the present phenomenal prosperity
In all lines of business and Industry In
the United States Is largely due to the
existing tariff laws, and the best Interests
of the country demand their retention."
Tho following bills w'ere passed:
To
i amend 'the Internal revenue laws in
re-
gard to storekeepers and gaugcrs so that
when both officcs"are .filled by one man,

MERCUR WIPED OUT.
Moral Mining Camp ef Utah Visited
by a Great Fire.
SALT LAKE. June 23. Mercur, the great
cyanido gold camp, and the second largest
mining town in Utah, was practically
wiped out of existence by fire today. The
I origin of the fire remains a mystery, be-
j
yond the fact that It began with an exrt
plosion of some kind this morning in the
upper story of tho Preblo block. In which
tho Oqulrrh Hotel and a saloon werolo
cated. A short time after the fire broke
out the telephone exchange was destroyed
and all wire communication cut off.
At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon a courier
rode Into Fairfield, a station on the Tlntic
branch of the "Oregon Short Line Rail
way, and telephoned that Mercur had been
wiped off the map so far as tho business
district is concerned. Not less than 40"
or 50 stores have been completely de
stroyed, and there Is not & single store left
In the camp. The people are In a destitute
and pitiable condition. At least 1CC0 are
without food and shelter. Governor Wells
and Mayor Thompson, of Salt Lake, wereJ
appealed to ior immediate assistance.
Fully 80 per cent of the town has been
destroyed. Not one business house re
mains, and scores upon "scores of dwellings
have been completely 'destroyed.
Shortly after the fire broke out It was
realized that-tho entire town was In dan
ger, and immediately the greatest confu
sion prevailed. All available vehicles of
every description -were pressed into serv
ice, and every effort made to save house
hold goods arid stores, but so rapidly did
tho flames spread that the peoplo were
forced to flee for their lives, and practi
cally nothing was saved. The streets be
come congested with teams, and the ex
citement was increased by the freauent
explosions of giant powder stored In vari--
ous portions of the town. So far as
known, no- loss of life resulted. A conservative-estimate
places tho total loss at
between $300,000 and $1,000,000. and the In
surance at $330,000.
Among the buildings destroyed are the
McCornlck & Co. Bank, the large struc
ture of the Union Mercantile Company,
thePalmec House, the Catholic and Bap.
tist Churches, and the telcphoncexchange.
The Mormon and Methodist Churches were
not damaged, and have been converted
Into places of refuge for tho most help
less and destitute "of the women and chil
dren. Governor Wells, . Mayor Thompson, of
Salt Lake; Oregon Short Line Railway
officials and a number at prominent Salt
Lake citizens late this afternoon arranged
lor a special train with needed supplies,
which left Salt Lake early this evening
lor the stricken town.
Mercur in the western terminus of the
Salt Lake & Mercur Railroad, situated 5S
miles southwest of Salt Lake City. In
the old days It was a sliver camp. Finally
it was abandoned, and remained in a de
serted' Btate until the cyanide process of
extracting gold from low-grade ore was
given to the world. Then Mercur became
a lively camp, and Anally was incorporated
in 1S05. It Is famixiR as tho home of the
noted Mercur and Golden Gate mines. Tne
town has enjoyed the reputation of being
the most moral and quiet mining camp on
the coptlnent. It has a good school system
and a number of churches. Tho census of
1S00 fixed Its population at 235L
Demnrrers Overruled.
WASHINGTON, June 2a. Justice Cla
borough, of the District Supreme Court,
today overruled the demurrers filed by tho
Riverside OH Company and the Cosmos
Exploration Company, of California, -to
the answer made by the Secretary of the
Interior tc the mandamus proceedings
they Instituted to compel Issuance of a
patent to th,em lor valuable oil lands
near Los Angeles. The demurrers alleged
that the Government answers were In
sufficient to support Us action. The court
today held that the matter was discre
tionary with the department, and that the
Secretary could not be compelled by man
damus to issue patents lor lands.

a symbol of honor and good faith In th
Philippines; to govern with Justice and
with that firmness, that absence of weak
ness which is only another side of Justice.
He has gone .back to do all that because
It Is his duty as he sees It. We are to be
congratulated, we Americans, that Wq
have a lellow-Amerlcan like Taft."
The President paid a glowing compliment
to Secretary Root, eaylng of the three
men that they had done the best that cir
cumstances permitted. Said he In conclu
sion: "It was all Abraham Lincoln could
do. Incidentally he has done all. Taft has
done It. Wood has done It, These three
men have rendered that seriice. I can do
nothing for them; I can show my appre
ciation of them In no wdy save the wholly
Insufficient one of standing up for thpro
and for their works, and that I will do."
From the hall the President went to
the chapter-house of the Alpha Delta Phi,
where he presented. In behalf of the chap
ter, a gold medal to Rev. Dr. Edward Ev
erett Halo. As the President entered the
chapter-houso the "Ivyrle" was sung.
AT OTHER BANQUETS.
President Speaks on Philippine War
and Irrigation.
BOSTON, June 25. On President Roose
velt's return to the Somerset tonight, he
was escorted to the Algonquin Club, where
a banquet was given in his honor by the
commandery of Massachusetts Naval and
Military Order of the Spanish-American
War. Responding to a toast, the Presi
dent said:
" "There has been a great deal of criti
cism, and some of It ot an exceedingly
intemperate kind, about the actions of
the Army over In the Philippines. That
Army Is composed of exactly such men as
those I see here tonight. Within the lat
fortnight there has been an appalling out
rage committed in the Philippines. Four
men were captured, and after being kept
lor a little while were put to 'death by
torture. Tou have heard very little or it,
and the reason is because those lour men
wore the United States uniform. For that

Mrs Anna Martin,

"Pernna, did no much lor me that I
feci it my duty to recommend it to
others who may be similarly nt
fllctcd. About a year ago my health
waa completely broken doSvn, had
backache, dlrxlnesn and irregulari

perfectly well." Mrs. Anna Martin.

Hope Lodge, No. 6, Independent Order

many other w omen also have found, found
in Peruna a specific for a severe case of
female weakness. She writes:
"I want to do what I can, to let tho
whole world know what a grand medi
cine Peruna Is. For 11 years I suffered
srith female troubles and complications
arising therefrom. Doctors failed to -cure
me. and I despaired of being helped. Pe
runa cured me In three short months I
can hardly believe It myself, but It Is a
blessed fact I am, perfectly well now,
and have not had an ache or pain for
months. I want my suffering sisters to
know what Peruna, has done for me."

Miss Ruth Emerson, 72 Sycamore street,
Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for
two years with irregular and painful
menstruation, and Peruna cured me
within six weeks. I cannot tell you how
grateful I feel. Any agency which brings
health and strength to the afflicted Is al-
deed, if it Is possible to exact punishment,
punishment will be exacted."
The President had yet another banquet
to attend on his- return to the Somerset
at 10:30 o'clock, Itelng that given In his
honor by the delegates to the convention
of the International League of Press
Clubs. Here the President said,, la part:
"Speaking In Boston, I should like to say
that one of the measures Congress has
passed In which I took the keenest in
terest Is that of the Irrigation of the arid

and the hearty support of a very large
number of Representatives of states which
had no uosslble pecuniary Interest In Its
passage. In other words, to put It through i
t was necessary to appeal to the broad
patriotism of people who could have no
special Interest to be subserved by it."

It Is no longer u question as to whether
Peruna can be relle'd on to cure all such

Peruna has been put to test In all forma

no one year has put this remedy to great
er test than the past year.
Peruna Is the acknowledged catarrh
