for Each Member,
STATEHOOD -BILL DELAYED
Quay Stirs a Breeze by Attacking;
Oklahoma. Bill and Declaring; far
Immediate Vote on Omnibus
Bill Leaders Gain." Time.
The Senate late yesterday afternoon
passed, with several amendments, the
bill fixing the compensation of the an
thracite coal strike commission, and It
now goes to conference. Sentiment was
strongly In favor of allowing; the mem
bers of the commission who are not
employes of the Government a lump
turn for their service, and after much
debate $4000 was nettled upon as the
proper amount, thus taking the matter
out or the hands of the President.
Several other amendments were adopt
ed, fixing the expenses of the commls
B'.or.ers and the assistant recorders at,
$10 per da)', and leaving the Question
of the amount of salary of the assistant
recorders and employes to the commis
sion. The name of the commission was
changed to "Anthracite Coal Strike Ar
bitration." An amendment by Daniel of Virginia,
lnterded to prohibit officers In the civil
or military branches of the Government
from serving on commissions or per
forming duties other than called for by
law, provoked a lengthy discussion, and
In response to appeals of Allison and
Hair was finally withdrawn.
At 2 o'clock the statehood bill came
up, and there was a brisk cxchar.se be
tween Quav. who favors the omnibus
bill, and Scr.atcrs" who oppose It. Quay
and Bate said they were ready to vote.
Beverldge. Lodge. .Hale and othcra pro
tested against pressing the bill so soon
after It was reported, and It went over
until Monday.
WASHINGTON. Dec 11. After dispos
ing of some other business today, the
Senate took up the bill to provide for the
payment of the expenses and compensa
tion of the Anthracite Coal Strike Com
mission. The bill was discussed at length
by Senators who opposed making an ap
propriation for a lump sum, and who
thought the salaries should be fixed.
While Mr. Allison was explaining the bill,
Mr. Tillman asked if the constitution of
Pennsylvania had been trampled under
foot, and If so, why had not the Attorney-General
enforced tho anti-trust law.
Mr. Allison said he could not answer tho
question, but ald he believed Congress
had the power to deal with the great
questions growing out of the combina
tions of capital commonly known as
trusts.
Mr. Allison offered a substitute for the
committee amendment, fixing the com
pensation of the commissioners for ex
penses, which provides that the members
shall receive $13 a day each, the assistant
recorders $10 a'- day- each and the other
employes of the commission In the serv
ice cf the Government ?5 a day in lieu of
traveling expenses.
Mr. Berry (Ark.) offered an amendment
providing for a salary of $4000 per annum
for the commissioners, and the payment
of actual expenses, instead of a per diem.
At 2 o'clock the bill was displaced by
the statehood bill. Quay saying he felt
compelled to Insist upon conslderatlori of
the admission bill at present. Mr. BeV'
eridge, chairman of the committee on ter
ritories, asked that the bill go over. He
said few Senators were ready to proceed
today, as there had been little opportunity
for Senators to inform themselves, the
committee report not being presented.
Quay offered .to let the bill go over If a
time was fixed for taking a vote.
Democrats Ready to V6te.
Bate, representing the Democrats, said
his side was -ready to vote. The sugges
tion brought out protests from Beverldgc,
Lodgo and Hale. Other Senators madjs
suggestions about reasonable time to pre
pare for discussion, and finally Quay said:
"If the Republicans can He to the peo
ple about the admission of territories In
their platform, they can lie about every
other provision In the platform. The air
waif full of rumors about how the bill
waa to be defeated, not by votes, but by
obstructions; that from day to day the
vote will be postponed, until one by one
the votes for the omnibus bill are picked
off."
Finally Quay agreed to let the bill go
over, and a motion that when the Senate
adjourned today It be until Monday was
agreed to.
Quay wanted It understood that the bill
would retain -Its place as the unfinished
business. The Pennsylvania Senator has
been -particularly careful to see that the
parliamentary standing of the bill should
be understood, and his remarks brought
From President Pro Tem. Frye this state
ment: "The bill remains the infinlshed busi
ness. If it is In the power of the chair to
keep it there, and the chair thinks It is.""
The Senate then resumed consideration
of the coal strike commission bill.
An amendment by Allison was agreed
to fixing a lump compensation for each of
the commissioners not In the Government
service at $1000 per annum; also others
providing that compensation of the re
corder of the commissioners, who is not
an officer or clerk of the Government,
shall be such as may bo fixed by the com
mission, and allowing the commissioners
and assistant recorders $10 per day for
expenses, and all other employes of the
commission $6 per day.
Mr. Daniel (Va.) precipitated a llvely
debate by offering an amendment prohib
iting the further assignment of officers
and employes of the United States or
Senators and Representatives on any com
mission, or having imposed on them any
duties other than those prescribed by law.
He did not'crltlclse the President, he said;
on the contrary, he commended him, but
he argued that there Is an abundance of
intellect, character, learning and wisdom
among the people of the country outside
of the Government, which could be drawn
upon. ,
Don't Tie President's Hands.
Mr. Piatt (Conn.) expressed the opinion
that it would be unwise to tie the hands
of the President so that In great emer
gencies he could not select the one man
deemed most fit for appointment. Mr.
Piatt Inquired of Mr,, Tillman, who fa
vored the Daniel amendment, if it were
nt probable. If the amendment was
adopted, that Judge Gray would withdraw
from the commission.
"Surely," was Mr. Tillman's response.
Mr. Spooner (Wis.) said It was not a
new thing for Judges to be arbitrators,
nor Is it considered Injudicial. Mr. Al
lison and Mr. Hoar appealed to Mr. Dan
iel tq withdraw his amendment, with the
view of offering It at some other time
when it could have more consideration.
Mr. Daniel finally withdrew the amend
ment. The bill waa further amended by chang
ing the namo of the commission to the
"Anthracite Coal Strike Arbitration," and
was then passed.
When the Senate met. Quay (Pa.) pre
sented resolutions caoptedby the. Five
Civilized Tribes of Indian Territory, pro
testing against joint statehood with Okla
homa. A bill was passed allowing Consuls-Oten-eral.
Consuls and commercial agenta who
are not allowed to trade, the actual ex
penses of office rent, not exceeding 51800
per annum; also a bill refunding pertain
tonnage taxes on the steamers Santiago
de-Cuba, Santiago, Clenfuegos and Olinda,
at tho portf of New York.
At 5 o'clock the Senate held a brief
executive session, -when it adjourned un
til Monday.
COINAGE! FOR PHILIPPINES.
Senate Committee Favora Gold Peso
ns Unit of Value.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. The Senate
committee on Philippines discussed with
Vice-Governor Wright the monetary sit
uation In the archipelago. It was gener
ally agreed that there would be difficult
ies in changing the currency In tho Isl
ands. The consensus of opinion was cx- J
pressed that the unit of value In the Phil-'
lpplnes ehould be a gold peso of 12.9 grains
of gold, which is one-half the value of the
United States gold dollar, and the peso
in silver should be made legal tender .of
equal value to the units.
Another feature upon which Governor
Wright and the members of the commit
tee agreed was that United States cur
rency should not be made legal tender In
the Islands, as the silver dollar would
then be worth twice as much as the peso,
containing more than the silver dollar,
which would encourage counterfeiting of
the United States dollars.
Governor Wright said the extension of

Steamship Manaprer Pleads Apainst
Educatiopnl Test for Immigrants.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. W. P. Ander- ,
son. rwissenrrcr manager ol tnc American
Steamship Line, today argued before the
Senate committee on Immigration for
modification of the Immigration bill pend
ing In the Senate. His criticism was de
voted in the main to the tnira section oi .
the bill, providing an educational test ior
Immigrants.
Mr. Anderson said that he had made a
careful study of the educational test pro
vision and had satisfied himself that the
result would be to keep out of the coun
try from S0.G00 to 1M.000 workingmcn. He
hni'nvnri thtc wmiirl ha an unnecessary
hardship, in view of the great demand
for labor in the United States. The re
quirement, he declared, was monstrous
and would be justifiable-only in case there
was In the country all the labor needed,
which was not the case. Ho said that. In
order to command a world-wide market,
manufacturers and producers should not
be hampered in the matter of labor.

Combination of Evils Scuds Lnkc Sn
perior Stoclc Tumbling
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11. Following a
sensational decline In the price of Consol
idated Lake Superior shares today, a spe
cial meeting of the directors of the com
pany was held tonight. A brief statement
was sent out from the tncetlng-room an
nouncing that tho steel and Iron business
Is in a prosperous condition, and deylng
the report that the compay's steel rail mill
had to close, owing to lackNof orders. If
the mill has been shut down, the state
ment says, it is because of the nondelivery
of the material.
The decline in Lake Superior shares to
day caused a lors of more than $12,00r.OOO
in the stock value of the company. The
capital stock Is JIOQ.OOO.OOO. The common
stock sold down from 513 50 to $9 50, and
the preferred lost 18 points In five hours
of trading on the stock exchange.
The causes of the decline are sold to be
that a lien was recently filed by a con
tractor for 5200,000 as tho result of a dis
agreement over the settlement of an nc
count" Involving several millions; that
banks which have accepted the shares as
collateral for loans notified brokers to
withdraw a part of them and to substitute
other securities: that the steel rail mill,
which has a capacity of 500 tons a day,
has been enclosed, and that an order was
received from Canada to sell a large block
of the stock, estimated at from 10,000 to
15,000 shares.
The crtnpany owns 22 miles square of
timber and ore lands in Canada, adjacent
to Lake Superior. It also owns steel mills,
steamships, water-power canals and a va
riety of properties which have been rated
at a high value.
FOR TURKISH MISSIONS.
Plea for Equality of Treatment Made
to the President.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hay to
day received a deputation representing all
religious bodies In the United States that
are doing missionary and educational
work In the Turkish Empire. The deputa
tion was headed by Morris K. Jcssup,
president of the Chamber of Commerce
of New York, nnd president of the beard
of trustees of the Syrian Protestant Col
lege, of Beirut
The delegation, through Mr. Capen, of
the American Board, presented a formal
address declaring that the affairs of
American educational and religious Inatl
tutlons In tho Turkish Empire are In i
serious condition and need the Immediate
attention of this Government. The depu
tatlon asked that this Government de
mand from Turkey the 3ame rights as are
enjoyed by RusElan, Italian and German
Institutions. These nations, it was point
ed out, had secured rights that American
teachers and missionaries were unable to
obtain. For tho linlted States not to ask
for similar concessions would be "to ac
knowledge our inferiority," the address
said.
It was pointed out that Russia and
France had secured from; Turkey Im
munity from taxation for all their
churches and schools and had the right
to open churches and schools whenever
and wherever they desired. The President
vas Informed that American schools and
churches had been closed by arbitrary
authority, while French and Russian edu
catlonal Institutions and places of wor-
ship are permitted to remain open.

SOME
Tongue Urcs State's Interewt in
Japanese Trade Moody Declares
Asralnst Choice of Barrett.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 11. Representative Tongue
today called on. the President to ascer-
tain whether It was possible that the at-
tltudo of the Japanese government was
such that a resident of the Pacific Coast,
and of Oregon In particular, coul$ not be
considered In connection with diplomatic
appointments to that country, as has
been currently reported In the East. He
said that Oregon Is very much Interested
In extending her relations with Asiatic
countries, and assured the President that,
whatever might be tho feeling of the Pa
cific Coast against the importation of
Chinese labor, there was certainly In Ore
gon no hostile feeling against either the
government or people or Japan, but, on
the contrary, an earnest desire to culti
vate close relations of trade and friend
ship with that country. He pointed out
efforts of the business interests cf Port
land in that direction. There is, in hl3
opinion, no ground whatever for ths Jap
anese government objecting to a citizen
from Oregon as Minister to that country.
If John. Barrett, for any particular rea
son, could not receive the appointment,
then Oregon desires -to present some other
candidate.
The President said that. In selecting a"
Minister to Japan, he did not consider
from what section the appointee might
come.
Mry Barrett has the Indorsement of
every member of the delegation except
Representative Moody, who says that.
when Barrett solicited his Indorsement
for the- Chinese mission on the assump
tion that Minister Conger would resign,
he declined to give It, but stated that
there were stalwart RepubUcans who
have long been Identified with the state,
and are much more worthy of such recog
nition from the delegation. He stated
that. If an Important diplomatic appoint
ment could be secured for Oregon, there
are several conspicuous men In the party
who are pre-eminently qualified to fill
such a post with credit to the state and
Nation, and would scorn the solicitation
of Indorsements for such an office.
Some of Mr. Barrett's enemies are dig
ging up public utterances he has made In
