The Demand for Coal
Reaches the Capitol.
DUTY WILL BE TAKEN OFF
Leaders of the Houses Confer
on the Subject,
ONLY QUESTION IS THE METHOD
Ways nml Mean Committee Will
I,ro-"c. Suspension of Duty on
Conl From Countries Wlilcn
Admit It Free.
As the result of a conference between
leaders of the two houses, Concress
will pass a bill suspending the Import
duty on coal.
The bill will provide for the admis
sion free of coal for 00 daye; also for
reciprocity In free coal with countries
which admit American coal free. This
Is meant to admit Canadian coal.
The bill will probably pass the House
today, and the Senate will pass It with
slight delay.
WASHINGTON. Jan. l It Is expected
that Congress will pass a bill removing:
the duty ot 67 cents a ton on coal Import
ed Into this country. This bill may take
the form, of a., rebate on drawback for 90
days, and also wil provide for reciprocity,
admitting: free of duty coal imported into
this country from countries granting the
same privilege to the United States. This
means Canada, and will permit Nova Sco
tia coal to come into this country free,
while coal from the Alleghanles and west
ward will go Into Canada free of duty.
The ways and means committee will
meet tomorrow, and, according to the
present programme, will report a bill on
the above lines. It Is expected the bill
will pass the House tomorrow. It will
be taken up In the Senate very soon, and
the intention Is to have It pass without
much delay. Its consideration In the Sen
ate has not been arranged for, but efforts
are being made to expedite its passage.
A number of Republicans, who hereto
fore have been opposed to changing the
duty on coal, said they would not oppose
the bill, provided it did. not open up the
whole tariff question There has been
some general talk today about an agree
ment to pass such a bill without opening
up the 'tariff question, and; the Republican:
leaders expect the House bill will be
passed promptly by the' Senate.
Conference In Senate.
There was a conference on the floor of
the Senate which was participated In by
Senators Aldrlch, Allison, Spooner and
Lodge and Chairman Payne, of the House
committee on ways and means. After this
conference Senator Aldrlch announced in
the Senate, when the Vest resolution for
the removal of the duty on coal came up,
that he had reason to believe "there
would be action elsewhere regarding the
removal- of the duty." It had been the
contention of Senator Aldrich that the
Senate had no power to initiate such legis
lation, y
Chairman Payne said after the remark
of Senator Aldrlch In the Senate that the
ways, and means committee would meet
tomorrow and consider the coal bills.
Several bills have been referred to "the
committee, some providing for a suspen
sion of the duty for a fixed period, some
for a rebate, and others for the removal
of the duty without limit. Payne said
he thought the committee would take
some action either for a suspension of the
coal duty or a rebate.
Bills to Suspend Duty.
Among the bills before the ways and
means committee affecting the duty on
coal Is one Introduced early in the session
by Representative Hill, of Connecticut.
This bill is receiving the serious and fa
vorable consideration of the committee.
It provides as follows:
"That there shall be allowed and paid,
under such regulations as the Secretary
of the Treasury shall prescribe, on all
coal of every kmd and form Imported Into
any port on the Atlantic Coast, a draw
back of the Import duties paid on the
same to and Including the 30th day of
June, 1903, this act to take effect Immedi
ately upon its passage."
Another bill, Introduced by Representa
tive McCall. of Massachusetts, suspends
the collection of duties on coal for 90 days.
McCall and Senator Lodge had a talk on
the House side late in the day. One of
the members of the ways and means com
mittee said it was Immaterial whether a
bill to suspend the collection of duties or
one providing for a rebate was adopted
since both would "have the .same effect!
and that it would be only a matter of
method, but he inclined to the view that
a rebate would be preferable.
A number of bills have been introduced
In the House and referred to the ways and
means committee, which provide for the
repeal of all duties upon coal of all kinds
Imported into the United States. There Is
still another bill providing for a reciprocal
trade relation between the United States
end Canada on coal. It Is not stated
whether this last bill Is to be considered
tomorrow with the rebate and suspension
measures.
For Alaska Exhibit at' St. Louis.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Secretary
Hitchcock "has forwarded to the House
committee on Industrial arts and exposi
tions communications from residents of
Alaska calling attention to the advisabil
ity of providing for an Alaskan exhibit at
tho Louisiana Purchase Exposition, at St.
Louis. The Secretary says it is highly de
sirable, in his judgment, that adequate ap
propriation be made for the purpose, and
Tecommends that $40,000 be appropriated.
Russia Will Retaliate.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Now that the
United States Supreme Court has decided
that Russia does pay a bounty on ex
ported sugar, and that the countervailing
duty Is lawful, says the St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Herald, there Is no
probability that Russia will remove the
retaliatory duty on American machinery,
agricultural implements excepted.
Dealers in bicycles and xesin have lost
all of their trade in those lines, and are
now looking forward to the appearance of
the new Ambassador, Mr. McCormick,
and hoping that a way out of the difficulty
can be found In a new treaty. It Is under
stood that the' Russian authorities are not
averse to such action.
Appointments In the Northvrest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The President
today sent the following nominations to
the Senate:
Collector of Customs For the District
of Arizona, Edwin F. Baker.
United States Marshal For the District
of Wyoming, Frank A. BadselL
United States Attorney For the District
of Wyoming, Timothy F. Burke.
Postmasters Oregon, John M. Parry.
Moro. Utah, Grant Symons, Pay-son.
Babcock Favors Cnbnn Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. President
Rocsevelt had a long conference today
with Representative Babcock, of Wiscon
sin, who has just returned from Cuba.
Mr. Babcock told the President that he
was heartily In favor of the ratification of
the pending Cuban reciprocity treaty, par
ticularly as he regarded ratification as a
good stroke of business policy for the
United States.
A'evr Minister From Ecuador.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Senor Alfredo
Bacquerizo, the recently appointed succes
sor to Senor Don Luis Felipe Garbo as
Minister from Ecuador to the United
States, was presented formally to the
President today.
RAISE BLOCKADE FIRST.
Castro's Condition, in Which Italy
Supports Him for Selfish Reasons.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. W. W. Rus
sell, Charge d' Affaires of the United States
Legation at Caracas, dispatched a short
telegram to the State Department an
nouncing Minister Bowen's departure, but
not stating what port he expects to make
In the United States. The Navy Depart
ment was informed that the boat would
stop first at Kingston for coal.
Inquiries at the State Department as
to whether or not answers had been re
ceived from the European capitals to Cas
tro's last communication as to arbitra
tion developed the fact that it has nothing
to do with the exchanges that may pass
between the powers and Venezuela. The
functions of the Department arc said to
have ceased when It brought the parties
together, and they must hereafter com
municate directly. Presumably Mr. Bowen
will be addressed as the representative
of Venezuela, and as he cannot be reached
on shipboard there probably will bo a halt
in the exchange.
It is said here that there Is no cause for
apprehension by the foreign residents of
Caracas over the departure of, Minister
Bowen. He was placed in charge of the
interests of the subjects of European
countries resident In Caracas, not per
sonally, but as United States Minister.
On his departure. W. W. Russell, tlie
Charge ex-ofllcio, took the obligation, and
the State Department is satisfied that he
will scrupulously care for them.
Advices received here Indicate that,
while Minister Bowen comes as Venezu
ela's commissioner in negotiations looking
to a settlement of the claims of the allies,
President Castro has made it a condition
that the blockade shall be raised before
Mr. Bowen proceeds with the preparation
of the protocol for the peaceful adjust
ment of the claims. Moreover, it now de
velops that In this regard Venezuela Is
likely to have the support of Italy. The
United States, though not a party to the
negoltations, will throw the weight of its
moral influence on the same side.
The Italian government Is Influenced In
its course by purely economic considera
tions. It does not desire to crush Ven
ezuela, but simply to procure the payment
of claims. The continuance of the block
ade, by sapping the very life of the coun
try, threatens to make it impossible for
Venezuela to pay these claims within any
reasonable period of time, so that any
Judgment rendered against her by private
arrangement or by The Hague tribunal
would be hollow and almost without re
sults. Castro Dodges Main Issues.
BERLIN, Jan. 12. The Foreign Office
here is somewhat puzzled by President
Castro's last note. He avoids specific ac
ceptance of the powers' stipulations, and
seemingly leaves the basis for a settle
ment as Indefinite as in his preceding dis
patch, agreeing generally to arbitration.
The President's reply has really not ad
vanced the matter at all. but It Is con
fidently supposed he has given Mr. Bowen
full power of attorney.
The State Department at Washington
has advised the Foreign Office that Mr.
Bowen has sailed from La Guayra. Noth
ing more will be done from this side un
til Mr. Bowen arrives In Washington.
Castro's Forlorn Hope "Gone.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Referring to the
situation in Venezuela, the London cor
respondent of the Trlbune,says the opin
ion expressed by the leading officials there
is that the blockade has heavily oppressed
Castro, and that he has given up all hope
of American intervention.
THEY WANT TO KEEP TAFT
Filipinos Appeal to Roosevelt Not to
Take Him Away.
MANILA. Jan. 12. A delegation of form
er Insurgents visited Governor Taft today
and urged him to remain here and not
accept the nomination forAssoclateJustice
of the United States Supreme Court. The
delegates said the whole Filipino people
petitioned President Roosevely to allow
Governor Taft to stay here. A delegation
eent a cable message to Washington urg
ing his retention as Governor of the Phil
ippines. Expressions In favor of Governor Taft
remaining as Governor are coming from
al iarts of the archipelago and It Is
expected there will be another and larger
demonstration in favor of his retention.
If it is finally decided to recall him to the
United States. The people here fear a
change of policy If Governor Taft is re
called. SHOT BY AMERICAN SCOUT.
How Filipino Guides Died Denied
They Tried to Escape.
MANILA, Jan. 12. At today's session of
the court-martial which 'Is trying Major
Edwin F. Glenn on the charge of unlaw
fully killing seven prisoners of war In
Samar,- a native soldier testified that tho
last three of the guides who were exe
cuted by the members of the expedition
headed by Second Lieutenant Caulfield,
of the Philippine ecouts. were shot under

The witness denied that the guides at
tempted to escape, and said they were
marching with the column when Preston
ordered them to be shot, The witness
further testified that Preeton ehot one of
the guides.
The defense called Brigadier-General
G. Franklin Bell In an endeavor to show
what were the conditions prevailing In
the Islands at the time, but the-prosecu-tion
objected to this testimony and was
sustained by the court. General Bell did
not testify to anything of material im
portance. Dragged to Death by a Cow.

ACTION TAKEN IN CONGRESS.
Both Houses Pass Resolutions of Re
gret and Adjourn in His Honor.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 12. As a mark of respect
to the memory of the late Representative
Tongue, of Oregon, the House pf Repre
senttlves at 12:15 today, on motion of
Representative Moody, adjourned after
adopting a resolution of sympathy. It
had been the avowed intention of Speaker
Henderson, as announced last night, that
the House should not adjourn early to
day, as he contended there were three
appropriations awaiting Immediate ac
tion and the time could not be spared.
Representative Moody and Representative
Burton, however, combined their efforts
this morning and Insisted that the least
the House could do would be to Immedi
ately adjourn as a tribute to Mr. Tongue's
memory. Mr. Moody saiJ such a tribute
would be deeply felt by the people of Ore
gon, and a fillure to adjourn would bo
regarded as a mark of disrespect, par
ticularly as the House had time to ad
journ over Saturday without particular
cause when appropriation bills vsere pend
ing. It was not until the Speaker was about
to call the House to order that he re
lented and agreed to recognize Mr.
Moody to offer his resolution.
Chaplain Coudon opened the session of
the House today with a brief prayer, in
which he referred touchlngly to the late
Oregon Representative. He said:
Ones more. Almighty God. our Heavenly
Father. In the dispensation of Thy providence,
are we brought face to face with that strange
and mysterious thing we call death, by the
sudden and unexpected temoval of an hon
ored member of this honorable body. Quiet,
yet always alert, patient, yet always active,
unassuming yet always efficient, he did his
whole duty, and we commend his spirit to thy
care and keeping. whodooth all 'things well.
Comfort, we beseech thee, his friends and
colleagues, the grlef-strlckcn widow and child
ren, by the blessed and reasonable hope that
some time, somewhere, there will be a reunion
where friends and families shall dwell to
gether In love and unity forever. Hear us
and thus bless and comfort all of us in the
name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
The journal of the proceedings of tho
House on Its last legislative day was
read, routine morning business disposed
of, and just before the quarter hour.
Representative Moooy was recognized.
"Mr. Speaker," said he, "it becomes my
painful duty to announce to the House
of Representatives that calamity has
fallen upon our state by the sudden and
untimely death of my distinguished col
league, Hon. Thomas H. Tongue, who
has for the past six years represented
his state and district In this body with
honor and distinction. At a suitable
time I shall ask that a day be set apart
for paying tribute to his character and
distinguished public service. I now ask
for the immediate consideration of the
resolution which I Bend to the desk."
The resolution read as follows:

out of respect to the memory of the deceased
member;

municate a copy of these resolutions to the
Senate.
The resolutions were unanimously

consin; McLachlan.of California; Russell,
of Connecticut: Bellamy, of North Caro
lina; Necdham, of California; Souther
land, of Utah, and Bate, of Pennsyl
vania. Before the House assembled, Mr.
Tongue's desk was draped In black crepe,
with a cluster of delicate blossoms
spread over the top. The flag over tho
House, as well as over the Senate, flew
at half-mast during the respective ses
sions of both bodies today, and will so
be unfurled for a period of 30-days, the
usual custom In case of the death of a
member.
The House committee on rivers and
harbors, of which Mr. Tongue was a mem
ber, at a special meeting called this
morning by its chairman, Mr. Burton, of
Ohio, drew up and unanimously adopted
a set of resolutions attesting its esti
mate of its late member. These resolu
tions read:

HIS CAREER IN COLLEGE.
Dean Ferrin Praises Tongnc as Alum
nus of Pacific University.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove.
Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.) A shadow has
been cast over all the exercises of the day
at Pacific University by the news of Con
gressman Tongue's sudden death at
Washington.
Mr. Tongue was an alumnus of the in
stitution, completing the course with tho
class of '68: He had always taken a great
interest in his alma mater; all of his
children were sent here, two of whom
graduated and one. Miss Florence, has
been in attendance this year, and was
hero when the news of his death reached
Forest Grove.
At chapel this morning Dean Ferrln
spoke at length upon Mr. Tongue's career,
paying a high tribute to him. both as a
man and as a statesman. Professor Fer
rin said in part:
"In losing Mr. Tongue, the Nation loses
one of the most useful men who ever sat
In tho halls of Congress. He has been a
faithful representative of his state, and
of the district from which ho was sent.
This state or community has never placed
a duty on Mr. Tongue which he has not
faithfully fulfilled. Perhaps no man
whom Oregon has ever chosen to repre
sent her has accomplished so much for
the good of the state.
"As an earnest and tireless worker, as
a man of honor and principle, Mr. Tongue
has furnished an example which the
young people of the state will do well to
study and follow. As a youth, ho worked
his way through Pacific University, al
ways showing a resolute determination to
accomplish everything he undertook; after
graduating, he won his way from one po
sition of trust to another, alwayB keeping
the respect and confidence of those around
him. Oregon needs more men like Con
gressman Tongue."
Ilcvritt as Toneruc's Successor.
ALBANY, Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.) The
opinion is generally expressed In political
circles here that there should be but one
special election for a Congressman to fill
the position made vacant by the death of
Congressman. Thomas H. Tongue. Al
though Albany has no avowed candidate
for the position, it seems probable that a
man from here will enter the race. Among
the leading Republican politicians of Al
bany, Judge H. H. Hewitt's name is being
prominently mentioned. At present Judge
Hewitt is out of the city and no statement
can be secured from him. But prominent
party leaders said yesterday that if Judge
Hewitt .would consent to actively enter
thp campaign, he would undoubtedly be
the choice of the Linn County contingent.

MOODY IN A RUNAWAY.
Secretary of Navy Seriously Injured
at Naval Academy.
ANNAPOLIS. Md., Jan. 12. Secretary
of the Navy William H. Moody was seri
ously but not dangerously injured at the
Naval Academy grounds today In a run
away accident. Accompanied by Senator
Hale, chairman of the" Senate naval af
fairs committee, the Secretary arrived
here at 2 o'clock to Inspect the new build
ings being erected in the Naval Academy
grounds, being driven from the. railroad
station In Superintendent Brownson's
private carriage.
The battalion of cadets was drawn up
In. line of salute just Inside the Academy
grounds, and, as" the carriage bearing the
Secretary, Senator Hale and their escort.
Lieutenant Poyer, passed in review,, a sa
lute of 17 guns belched forth from the
guns on the Santee wharf. The restive
horses attached to the carriage swerved
suddenly and got beyond control of the
driver.
They dashed down Upshur Row, past
the lino of cadets, the driver meantime
making every effort to quiet them. The
breaking of the pole of the carriage, as
the spirited animals dashed down the
roadway, served to render them more ex
cited. As the maddened animals dashed
down the hill toward College Creek, the
driver, seeking to stop them, suddenly
turned their heads Into a vacant lot be
tween two houses.
Secretary Moody, who had opened the
door of the carriage as the horses dashed
over the frozen ground, suddenly leaped
to the pavement as the carriage made the
turn into the Inclosure. He landed on
his face on the pavement and was ren
dered unconscious by the chock.
Tho battalion of midshipmen had broken
ranks without orders as the carriage
dashed by, and very soon the "Secretary
was lifted by tender hands and carried
to the near-by residence of Superintend
ent Brownson. where he shortly recov
ered consciousness. Slight cuts and
bruises on his forehead, nose and face
are thought to be the extent of the In
juries. Neither Senator Hale nor Lieutenant
Poyer was Injured, as the horses were
brought against a wall soon after making
the turn into the open lot. Secretary
Moody and Senator Hale will spend the
night here as tha guests of Superintend
ent Brownson.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. It Is reported
from Annapolis tonight that Secretary
Moody will remain there a day or two, in
order to recover from the shock resulting
from the accident.

WHY COPELAND TREATMENT CURES CATARRH
It Is the Only Combined Local and
Constitutional Treatment.
To the Inability and extreme
reluctance on the part of the
great majority of doctors even
to undertake to cope patiently
and Intelligently with the rav
ages of Catarrh, is largely due
the great avalanche of patent
nostrums In the shape of liquids
and tablets, every one brazenly
claiming to cure Catarrh, but
each with a radically different
medicine.
A disease for -which there
Is such n multitude of
alleged cures is irrrnrl
nhiy one that can only
le cared by the prcnt-.
est skill, with the proper
remedies prescribed and
prepared under the direc
tion of pnlnstaklnsr, careful,
and experienced physicians.
This Is pre-eminently true of
Catarrh, and the fallacy of un
dertaking to cure this widely
prevalent disease by internal
treatment alone cannot be too
coldly exposed nor too emphat
ically denounced.
All persons familiar with the
anatomy of the upper' part of
the throat, the back portion of
the nose and the middle ear
know how continuous Is the del
icate mucous membrane lining
nil the Internal organs, and how
Inflammation of this membrane
extends from one part to an

or complete deafness, earache or
discharges.
Again, It will extend down

It Will Be Built Both Houses to
Push Action Quickly.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Following the)
conference at tho White House last night,
attended by Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Hpnderson, there has been a great deal of
discussion today among the Republicans
of the Senate as to the prospects of anti
trust legislation during this session of
Gongress. The conclusion reached is that
some measure will he passed.
"There will be no radical legislation,"
said a prominent Republican Senator, "but
a measure embodying some features of" the
Knox bill may be passed. Tho Republi
cans are not going to accept any or every
thing that is offered, nor will they abdicate
to the minority to dictate what shall be
done."
Another prominent Senator said he
thought there should be legislation thl3
session not the bill introduced by Senator
H.oar, but more in the nature of the sug
gestions made by A'ttorney-General Knox.
One feature or the Knox bill that was fa
vorably considered was that which pro
vided for the punishment of the person or
corporation that received rebates as well
as the carries or corporation that gave
them.
In the Senate committee on judiciary to
day the question of trust legislation was
taken up briefly, and Senators Hoar, Fairv
banks and Nelson were participants, and
Pettus and Turner, Democrats, were ap
pointed a subcommittee to consider the
subject In detail. Senator Hoar said that
if the House of Representatives should act
at an early day, his subcommittee would
wait upon the House measure, but If it
became apparent that there was to be de
lay in the House, he would call the com
mittee together to act independently of
the House. There was no general discus
sion of tho subject in the committee, but
so far as opinions were expressed by mem
hers, they were favorable to action.
- An anti-trust bill will be reported to the
House Judiciary committee at Its meeting
Friday by the subcommittee of which Rep
resentative Llttlefleld Is chairman. This
statement was made today. The subcom
mittee will meet tomorrow, when the bills
drawn by Attorney-General Knox and In
troduced by the chairman of the judiciary
committee, but which the subcommittee
has been advised were Intended to be In
the nature of supplemental suggestions,
will be compared with the bill already
drafted by the subcommittee.
An effort will be made to have the bill
reported to the Judiciary committee on
Friday, and reported out of that commit
tee at the earliest possible date, in order
that It may be taken for action by the
House without delay, tnus giving the Sen
ate time to act.
Members of Mr. Little'fleld's subcommlt

IS QUEER BEQUEST. .
Ownership of Valuable Estate Will
Fall to Owner of Musket.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Members of .the
Stoy family all over the United States,
including Mayor Franklin P. Stoy, have
been interested In finding the possessor
of a certain Revolutionary musket, own
ership of which may carry with it the In
heritance of an estate In Troy, Pa., worth,
it is said several million dollars, says
an Atlantic City, N. J., dispatch to the
Tribune. A letter received by Mayor Stoy
probably settles the question of ownership
or the gun, Isaac Stoy, of Sherwood, Mich.,
stating that he is its possessor.
Seventy years ago the property in ques
tion was leased to John Stoy, thc father
of Isaac. At that time it was found that,
inserted In the grant to the original lease,
was a clause which provided that any dis
pute in regard to the succession of the
property was to be settled by the posses
sion of a Revolutionary musket- which was
minutely described and spoken of as hav
ing been carried by one of the original
Stoys at the Cornwallis surrender at York
town. The musket was to be passed to
tho nearest heirs of the holders ot the
lands and to be absolute proof of owner
ship. The hunt for the gun shows that a few
years ago it came into Isaac's possession.
Mayor Stoy has informed him of the queer
circumstances under which the big bequest
is to be made, and, backed by the remain
der of the Stoy family. Isaac Stoy will
make a fight for the estate.
