z THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUlrY 1, 902: ADOPTED BY HOUSE Conference Report on Philip pine Government Bili. M.'CALL WITH THE' DEMOCRATS Partial Report on the General De- Jlciency Bill Wai Adopted and i the Measure Sent Back to I . Conference i With final adjournment probable to day, the House- -worked under high pressure from noon yesterday until far Into the night. The conference report on the Philippine civil government bill, which Is considered the last obstacle In the -way of adjournment, -was adopted by a strict party vote, with the single exception of ilcCall (Rep. Mass.), who voted -with the Democrats. A partial report on the general defi ciency appropriation bill -was adopted, and after a prolonged fight the House, by a vote of IIS to 101, adopted tlw Senate amendment to appropriate $500, 000 for the Buffalo Exposition and $1G0. 000 for the Charleston Exposition, and then sent the bill back to conference. The Senate Amendment to appropriate 11,000,000 to pay the Hawaiian bubonic plague awards was defeated. The adjournment resolution Is to be withheld until the conference report on the Philippine "bill Is adopted by the Senate. "WASHINGTON, June' 30. The House met at 11 o'clock today. Payne (Rep. N. Y.), the majority leader, asked unani mous concent that the Hepburn bill requir ing the printing of conference reports in the Record before consideration should be suspended for the remainder of the session. To this Richardson, the minority leader,, objected. Cannon (Rep. 111.), chairman of the ap propriations committee, called up the con ference report on the general deficiency appropriation bill. The report left in dis pute items aggregating $1,9C5,0W, including the appropriations for the Buffalo and Charleston Expositions, and $1,000,000 for the payment of the Hawaiian claims. The report was adopted. Cannon moved that the House further insist and ask for a further conference. Alexander (Rep. N..T.) asked for a sepa rate vote on the appropriation of $500,000 for the Buffalo Exposition, Finley (Dem. S. C.) for one on the appropriation of $160,000 for the Charles'ton Exposition. Bur ton (Rep. O.) upon the appropriation of $25,090 for the Improvement of the Ohio River from Cairo to Mound City, and Cannon himself upon the appropriation of 51,O0CflOO for the payment of Hawaiian clalmo. Alexander made a strong plea for 'con currence in the Buffalo Exposition amend ment. He declared that the success of the exposition was assured when the aa sassinatl6n of President McKlnley oc curred. In previous expositions, he said, the receipts in September 'jncrcaeed over those of August 55 per cent. At Buffalo the receipts decreased 7 per cent after the assassination of President JIcKlnley. Tawney (Rep. Minn.), chairmen of the committee on expositions; Foster (Dem. 111.), Morris (Rep. Minn.), McClellan (Dem. N. Y.), Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.), and Grosve nor (Rep. O.) supported Alexander's mo tion. Grosvenor said he waived every tech nical and legal objection to the appropria tion. Coming from Ohio, he bowed hla bead to the argument of Alexander. In opposition to the motion Hemenway (Rep. Ind ) said if he believed the assas sination of President McKinley had caused the deficit at Buffalo he would vote for It. But, he Insisted, the figures showed that the exposition was not satisfactory to the American people. That was the reason why the exposition was not a success. Dalzell (Rep. Pa.) opposed the motion, saying that In all his legislative expe rience he had never known a more prepos terous proposition. After some further remarks by Richard son (Dem. Ala.), Bartlett (Dem. Ga.), Bar ney (Rep. "Wis.), Snodgrass (Dem. Tenn.), Slayden (Dem. Tex.), Hepburn (Rep. la.). Cannon (Rep. 111.) concluded the debate on Alexander's motion with a strong speech in opposition to It. The plea for this appropriation on the ground that McKlnley's death made the exposition -a failure, he declared, was a pretense. "If Congress is to underwrite these National expositions," said he, "it will be asked to underwrite state fairs and county fairs and gradually will reach the point where the United States will run the Wild West show." Alexander's motion to concur in the Buf falo, Exposition amendment was carried by US to 10L Finley (Dem. S. C.) then entered his motion to concur in the Charleston Ex position amendment. "If the members will give me an aye and no vote," said Cannon, "I am willing to vote now. I want to see whether the New Yprk members -will keep faith with their South Carolina friends." "I desire a few minutes," said Finley "My people are greatly Interested in this matter." "Debate is -unnecessary," observed Can non "if you have mado your deal." (Laughter.) When the people of South Carolina be gan the- movement for an exposition, Finley said, they believed Charleston would be treated by Congress as other ex position cities had been. They were enti tled to $250,000. They obtained only $90,000. The appropriation of $160,000 In the Senate amendments-would give them -what they should have had originally: Cannon spoke sarcastically of the "co hesive force of the public plunder." He had lived to see the day when the state of John C. Calhoun, the champion of states' rights, came in here and struck hands with New York to get through the New York appropriation. Finley's motion was lost, 71 to 118. Mondell (Rep. Wyo.) moved concurrence in the Senate amendment to appropriate $1,000,000 toward the payment of awards of the Fire Claims Commission upon property destroyed in Hawaii in the suppression of tiie bubonic plague in 1S99 and 1900. The .total amount of the awards, Mondell said, -was $1,400,000. Over 12,000 people, he said, were -interested in these awards. The motion was favored by Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.), Powers (Rep. Me.) and Hill (Rep. Conn.), and opposed by Cannon. It was lost, 22 to 108. The bill was then sent back to confer ence. ' The Senate bill to .provide for the or ganization of private organizations In Alaska was passed, as was the bill "to allot the lands of the Cherokee Nation and for the disposition of townsltes there in." Report on Philippine!! Bill. Cooper (Rep. Wis.), chairman of the committee on Insular affairs, presented the conference report on the Philippine b'll. The statement follows: "There were three important points of difference between the two houses, name ly, the provisions in the JHouse bill for a Legislature; another in relation to lands, and another In relation to coinage. ThB Senate recedes from Its disagreement to the provision for a Legislature, and agrees to It with an amendment providing that within two yeara after, the census pro idd"for In. the House bill has been com- pleted, If, in the meanwhile, a condition of general peace and good order shall have prevailed, the President shall order the Philippine Commission to call a general election for the choice of delegates to a popular assembly of the people of thaf portion of the islands not Inhabited by. Moros and pagan tribes, which shall be known as tfie Philippine Assembly. "As to the qualification of voters, Che power of the Assembly and of the Legis lature and the qualifications of the mem bers of the Assembly, the Senate, has agreed substantially to the House propo sition. 'This also provides for two com missioners to .bo elected by the legisla ture. "The Senate further recedes from Its disagreement to the provisions or the House bill relating to public lands, and agrees to an amendment reducing the amount of land to be held by corporations from 2000 hectares to 1024 hectares. The Senate has further agreed to the House provision restricting the ownership and control by members of corporations of mining and agricultural lands, with addi tional stringent provisions limiting these holdings. "In the coinage provision reported, the Senate recedes from its provision for the colnago of a Philippine silver dollar, and the House recedes from Its provision for the establishment of a jgold standard. Tho report agrees upon the provision for sub sidiary coins and minor coins, substantial ly as provided In the House bill. The pro visions relating to banks are eliminated from tho bill. "The bill contains the legislative Hmlta- rr WHERE KING tlons and bill of rights complete, as in the House bill. The mining provisions of the bill are a combination of the provis ions of the mining features of the two bills. Otherwise the bill reported does not substantially differ from fhe bill passed by the House." Cooper explained that tho differences upon the coinage provisions were difficult of adjustment, and finally resulted In dropping out both Senate and House pro visions. Speaking of the provisions for the disposition of the public lands, he ex pressed the opinion that they were satis factory, 'and that undor them it would be absolutely impossible to exploit the Is lands. . V The language of the legislative pro- vlslbn," he saId,T"would make the" election ! of a Legislature mandatory as soon ae tne conditions were fulfilled." Jones (Dem. Va.), the ranking minority member of the Insular committee, de clared that this statement did not cover one-tenth of the changes made. Yet, he said, the House was expected In an hour to vote on the report. There'was, he In sisted, no need for any urgent haste. He expressed the opinion that the substitute, as agreed to by the conferees, was an Im provement over both bills. Jones criti cised the public land provisions, saying the Philippine Commission would have the power to sell or dispose of the public lands before rules and regulations were promulgated. He also criticised the legis lative provision as agreed to by the con ferees. Uifdcr it, he declared, no man could tell what popular assemblage would be created. Williams (Dem. 111.) said If the Adminis tration proceeded in good faith, it would be five years before there would be a pop ular assemblage In the Islands. In the meantime, all the franchises and public lands in the islands could be disposed of. De Armond (Dem. Mo.) said the English system had been adopted and was to cup plant the American systemffin our colo nics beyond the seas. The other side was In a hurry to afford opportunity for cor porations and syndicates to exploit the islands, to prepare civil government, not for the Filipinos, but for the American j exploiters. Glllett (Rep. Mass.) said he was willing to state that he hoped In 20 years the Fili pinos woifld be capable to self-government and desire independence, and that Inde pendence would be accorded them. The conference report was adopted, 14D to 92, a strict party vote, except that Mc Call (Rep. Mass.) voted with the Demo crats. The Night Scsulon. When the House reconvened at 8 o'clock the report on the corteetod election case of Wilson vs. Lasslter, from the fourth Virginia district, which confirms Lassl ter's title to the seat, was presented. Under the special order adopted Satur day the House then entered upon the con sideration of the Dick bill to reorganize the militia of the several states. Dick (Rep. O.). the author of the measure, ad dressed the House, as did also McClollan (Dem. N. Y.). Hay (Dem. Va.), taking advantage of the latitude allowed In debate, presented a statement of the appropriations of Con gress for tills session, which he figured would aggregate $398,403,000, and took oc casion to denounce the reckless extrava gance which these figures Indicated. The Dick bill was passed, ISO to 28. Cannon then presented the conference report on the general deficiency appropria tion bill. It was a complete agreement. Cannon explained, except on tho Charleo ton Exposition amendment. The Senate had agreed to the striking out of the ap propriation of $1,000,000 to pay the Ha waiian fire claims, and had reduced small appropriations covered by Senate amend ments. The report was adopted. Finley (Dem. S. C) then moved to re cede and concur In the Charleston Expo sition amendment. Cannon said that while he was opposed to the amendment he could not see .much reason why the House should "strain at a gnat after swallowing the Buffalo camel." Finley's motion was adopted without di vision. Foss (Rep. 111.), chairman of tho naval committee, then presented a conference report on the naval appropriation bill, which showed the conferees had been un able to agree on the provisions of the con struction of one battle-ship, one cruiser and .one gunboat In Government yards. I Foss moved that the House agye to the senate provision, wun an amendment ror building one of the ships In a Government yard. Tayler (Rop, Q.) urged the House to I rrtand by IU guns. "I believe." said hoi "that tho time has come when the Na tlon should make for Itsolf. as far as It can. that for which It Is the only bidder." After a little further debate Foss with drew his motion and the bill was sent back to conference. At 11 o'clock the rfouse adjourned until 10 o'clock 'tomorrow morning.

The notable excite ment during the past week outside Buck ingham Palace at the hours the bulletin were posted was entirely 'absent this morning. The sanguine impression cre ated by the doctors' reports Saturday and Sunday was maintained by the sa lient phrase in this morning's bulletin, "No bad symptoms of any kind." At noon the following statement was given out at the pilace: "There Is no cause for alarm in the dis tress caused by dressing the wound. Thl3 occurs at least twice daily. The wound, which is of considerable depth, is dressed from the bottom, as it Is es sential that It should heal from within outward. The dressing causes His Ma jesty considerable pain, which he has borne with groat fortitude. In fact. His Majesty's courage and patience calls for the greatest admiration.

The King occa sionally se.es his children, but the Inter views are of short duration. No mat ters of state or business aro allowed to be submitted to the King, who is also de barred from reading his correspondence. Neither Drs. Laklng, Barlow or Treves have left the palace since the operation except for an occasional hour." This statement was Issued with the view of correcting numerous unfounded stories published with circumstantial de- tails regarding what is alleged to trans pire in the sick room. The cheerfulness of the public is appar ently fully shared by the members of the royal family. Tho Prince of Wales -went out riding this morning, and both he and the Princess witnessed from the palace windows, with evident interest, -a march past of the guard. The stock market opened today with a very strong tone, on the good news re garding the King's condition. Consols rose seven-sixteenths. Other depart ments reflected the lnjproved feeling. With the view of recompensing the sightseers so far as possible for th dis- appointments of last week, tomorrow's uuu vcunescray s reviews of the colonial and the Indian troops will be accompa nied by a certain amount of pageantry. The Queen's anxiety has been so much allayed that she definitely decided today to occupy the first carriage in the royal procession, in which other members of the royal family will participate, as- well as tho foreign Princes who are still in London. The general feeling of relief, as a result of the favorable condition of the King vented itself tonight by the lighting of 5000 bonfires throughout the United King dom, which were originally prepared to coieDraie coronation night. The signal to light the fires was given at 9:CG o'-clock. A rocket was sent up from the top of the gigantic wheel In Earl's Court, and hurst in a cloud of stars 1000 feet overhead. In response to this signal, bonfires rose, from every elevation of any consequence from ihc Lizard to the Orkneys. The cele brations were unfortunately somewhat dampened by the downfall of rain. Lon don was not officially Illuminated. It was hoped the Mansion House, Bank of Eng land and Marlborough House would" join In the Illumination, all their illuminating stands being intact, but none of their Illu minations was lit up. The display in Lon- aon in tnis respect was confined to the- & aters, hotels "and -boarding-houses on the Strand. Fleet street and other thorough fares. Tnere "was quite a celebration at Spit head today, when the nearest approach to a review of the great fleet there was snen in a fleet of several transports loaded, with visitors and colonial troops, and a." number of distinguished persons, who In spected the "empire's first line of de fense."

All the principal streets of Dublin were splendidly Illumi nated tonight In honor of the King's sat isfactory progress, and they were so crowded with people that vehicular traffic had to be stopped.

On the other I hand, there are some places with distinc- WITH ILLNESS. tlons the dubious nature of which is quite unenvled. It may bo said of Amoy, In China, that it Is the filthiest city In the world a re cord which certainly no other .place is anxious to eclipse. The city is qn an Island of the same name. For upward of a thousand years It has been an Im portant trading place. The population of the Island Is estimat ed at oVer 400,000, and it has been said that there are something like. 5,000,000 dead bodies packed in Its soil. For many centuries the hillsides of the city have been used as a burying ground. Now the city and cemetery aro hopelessly mixed. The graves toucbone another at every point and 'formifp-solldi -hlte surface of rock, brick, porcelain and cement, coh ering more than 1.000.000 square feet. Near one of tho josshouscs 30,000 bodies are burled vertically to save space. v They stand on a plot of ground of as many feet square. The wells from which the city draws Its water supply are shallow, and aro sunk on the edges of graveyards, and even among the tombs themselves. The water is muddy, and Is colored by the perpetual turning up of the soli. It has.no sewers, and the streets vary from two feet to six feet In width; no wheeled vehicle can use them. Hero and there is an open space or plaza, dug out so as to be a huge receptacle, into which the streets discharge their refuse. Filth abounds, and its twin sister disease flourishes. The atmosphere is laden with noxious r smells, and the burial of the dead goes on at an alarming rate. The city of Artena, In Italy, can also claim a dubious distinction, which 13 quite undisputed. It is said that there Is no man or woman among Its Inhabi tants who has not either committed a murder or tried to do so. Gheel is a town about thirty miles east of Antwerp and about the same distance from the German frontier. It is unique, for there is no other town In the world which can number so many lunatics among Its Inhabitants.

Bibles Was Re jectedFinal Adjournment. . DENVER, June 30. The 10th triennial convention of the International Sunday School Association concluded Its sessions here tonight and adjourned sine die. An important change in the lesscm course was made, that which provides for a be ginners course, although the more im portant proposition, and the one most bit terly opposed throughout the convention, hamcly, an advanced course for adult members, was overwhelmingly defeated. A resolution was reported favoring an ad vanced course, but Dr. Thomas B. Neeley, of New York, aroused such a strong feel ing against it In his speech In favor of a substitute offered by himself, to the ef fect that the- time was not yet. ripe for such an addition to the course, that the substitute went through almost unani mously. The session opened with an address by C. H. Daniels, of Boston, one of the sec retaries of the American Board o Foreign Missions, on the subject o'f "Promoting Intelligence and the Spirit of Giving in Missionary Work." Ho said that the greatest gifts to the world were the giv ers. A paper on the question to what extent public school methods are applicable to Sunday school teaching, prepared by Pro fessor Martin G. Brumbaugh, of Philadel phia, was read by Rev. A. F. Schuaffler, D. D., njf New York, because of the tem porary Illness of the author. The paper strongly -urged systematic training of. teachers and the establishment of normal Institutes for that purpose. Tho trend of the paper was that public school method was not essential in Sunday school work. Principal E. J. Bexford, of Montreal, sug gested that the method of informing the pupils upon the history of the Bible and disciplining them In tho classes could well be patterned on the public school 'system. Rev. A. L. Phillips, of Richmond. Va-, said that the fact that 40 per cent of the members of the church came from the Sunday schools Indicated that tho system was not very faulty. Flve-mlnute discussion of the question followed, a majority of tho speakers fa voring the adoption of some system of grading and plan of Instruction In Sun day school worlc The report of the auditing committee on the treasurer's report was adopted, and a rising vote of thanks to Treasurer Bai ley was taken. The calm in the convention was broken by the debate 'on the report of the resolu tions committee, which provided for op tional advances and beginners' courses In the, Sunday schools. A substitute was adopted to the effect that the association was not prepared to adopt a scries of ad vanced courses. but providing for a be ginners' course.. The flght against the J advanced course "was led by Dr. Thomas B. Neeley, of New York, throughout the convention, and the substitute adopted today was prepared by him. A resolution on the death of Dr. B. F. Jacobs, of Chicago, formerly chairman of the executive committee, which referred to him as the greatest Sunday school worker the world hadvever' known, -was then adopted. The report of the lessons committee, as amended by the resolutions adopted, was adopted. It was then decided to have a committee SIR JOSEPH "LISTEn. Famous British doctor who performed opera tion on King Edward. make an eight months' tour of the world in tho lntei est of Sunday school work, the members 'to pay their qwn expenses. The resolution referred to the resolu tions committee warning the Sunday school teachers against the Mormon Bi bles and the declaration that they were not Identical with the St. James version, as It Is claimed the Mormons are assert ing, was rejected by the committee after a warm discussion. The afternoon session was given over to the field workers. The report "of Presi dent Alfred Day, of JDetrolt, showed the splendid work of the department, and ad dresses were delivered by well-known field workers. Charges being made that the American Sunday School Union had encroached upon the rights of the International Sunday School Association by- collecting funds In territory and for purposes of which the latter had exclusive rights, a committee was appointed to Investigate and report on the matter at the earliest possible day. The convention tonight voted In favor of Jerusalem as the next place of meeting for the world's Sunday school convention. 'or th field Conference. NEW'YORK. June 20.
