WOULD FORCE VOTE
Quay Grows Angry at Delay
of Statehood Bill.
HE CHARGES OBSTRUCTION
If Verbal Duel "With Beverlclpre, In
Which He Give Indiana Man the
Lie Bcvcrielfre Object to Kix
iiijj u Day for the Vote.
Senator Quay yesterday showed a de
termination to force a vote on the om
nibus statehood bill in the Senate.
"When the bill was taken up. he de
manded an immediate vote, ?ayln& the
bill was being willfully obstructed.
"When Heveridge accused him of se
curing jiledces to vote for the hill, he
gave BeverldRc the lie direct, but toned
down the remark.
Then he caked unanimous consent for
a -ote on the bill on several successive
dayn, but Beverldge objected each
time, and the debate went on.
Th Senate parsed the legislative, ex
ecutive and Judicial appropriation bill.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. In the Senate
today Bailey (Tex.) continued his policy
of objecting to the taking up of bills by
unanimous consent. As soon as the rou
tine business was disposed of the Senate
considered the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill. The commit
tee amendments were agreed to without
division, and, as amended, the bill was
passed.
The statehood bill was then taken up.
Bevoridge began to speak when Quay de
manded a vote.
"Before any other Senator has a chance
to talk on this bill?" asked Beverldge.
"Yes; I don't care whether another per
son speaks on the bill or not. I am pre
pared for a vote now," replied Quay.
Beveridge opposed the suggestion.
"This bill is being willfully obstructed
by discussion," said Quay, "and no one
knows that better than the Senator from
Indiana."
Boveridge showed some irritation at the
interruption, saying It was hardly pert
inent to the point he was discussing. "The
Senator from Pennsylvania," said Bev
eridge, "has secured pledges, and has sur
rounded himself with a corps so impervi
ous to the assaults of reason that he pro
poses to rush the bill through."
"The statement of the Senator from In
dia," said Quay, "is false," which he later
corrected to "untrue."
Beveridgo characterized Quay's use of
the words "willful obstruction" as auda
cious, because, he said. Quay had an
nounced that, unless he got what he de
manded, needful legislation would be side
tracked. Beverldge then proceeded to dis
cuss the bill, favoring joint statehood for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
Quay asked unanimous consent to have
a vote taken January 21. 29, February 4,
10 or 16, to all of -which Beverldge object
ed. Quay then gave notice that tomorrow at
the close of the morning business he
would move to take up the statehood bills,
and might ask the Senate to remain In
session until some agreement for a vote
is reached.
Hanna spoke in opposition to statehood
for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico.
At 4:ST. the Senate went Into executive
session, and a few minutes later ad
journed. XO HOPE OF RELIEF.
Senate Vainly Seeks "Way Out of
Confection of Bnslncs.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The prospect
of a congestion of business In the Senate
Is such that the Senators constituting the
Republican committee on order of busi
ness met today to adjust the claims of
confllctinr measures. The conference was
attended by all the members of the com
mitteee. but was without appreciable re
sults, except in one respect that there was
a unanimous agreement to give pre
cedence to appropriation bills and confer
ence reports over all other matters. Be--vond
this it was decided that the state
hood bill should continue to occupy the
position 11. now holds as the unfinished,
business of the Senate, and that the Cu
ban reciprocity treaty should be given,
second place.
TO LEASE THE TRANSPORTS.
Perkins Propones Government Give
Contract to the Lesaeen.

tract. Lower Dnty on Austrian Sugar.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The annual
readjustment of the rate of countervailing
duty to be assessed against sugar Import
ed from Austria-Hungary results in a re
duction of about 30 cents a ton from the

portation of sugar from Austria-Hungary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The Cabinet

BOWEN AT WASHINGTON.
Castro'a Envoy Ready to Negotiate
"With Allies for Raising Blockade.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Minister Bow
en and Mrs. Bowen reached here shortly
after noon, their train being five hours
late. They were met at the station by
their nephew, Hamilton Holt, of New
York, and drove at once to the Arlington
Hotel. Immediately after luncheon Min
ister Bowen called at the State Depart
ment, whre he had a long conference
with Assistant Secretary Hill. He then
went to the home of Secretary Hay to re
port his arrival.
"Until I hava reported to the officials
here," said Mr. Bowen, "of course it would
bo Impossible for me to discuss my mis
sion or to announce any programme for
the conduct of negotiations. I have not
seen a paper in five days and therefore
am not posted on any developments slnco
I left Caracas, so, for the present, I can
not say just when my conference with the
representatives of the powers will begin."
Mr. Bowen received a hearty welcome
from the officials at the State Department,
to whom his tactful conduct of affairs at
Caracas has given the greatest satisfac
tion. It is said that the representatives
of the powers, who, eo far as is known,
are strongly desirous of terminating the
unfortunate situation on the Venezuelan
Coast, will lend him every aid In his task.
There must be frequent exchanges be
tween the Ambassadors here and their
home governments, but it ia fully expected
that frequent recourse will bo had to the
Atlantic cables and that this new method
of diplomatic exchange. In large part, will
take the place formerly occupied by the
mail exchanges.
Mr. Bowen, as soon as he had shaken
the dust of travel from his clothes and
paid a visit of ceremony to Secretary Hay.
started out t,o call on the British and
Italian Ambassadors and at the German
Embassy, where, in the absence of Count
Quadt, he saw Baron Bitter, the acting
charge d'affaires.
Mr. Bowen, above all things, is anxious
to secure the removal of the blockade,
which la the heaviest charge laid on him
by President Castro. So, when he called
on the representatives of the allies, he
urgently requested them to name an early
moment for the beginning Of negotiations.
The results of the requests have not yet
been divulged, but it Is hoped that Mr.
Bowen will receive answers In the course
of a day or two. The absence of Baron
von Sternburg, who is in New York, In
the opinion of the other allies, need not
prevent the initiation of negotiations with
Mr. Bowen. In fact, it Is not really cer
tain that there will be a joint meeting of
the negotiators at any stage; Mr. Bowen
Is not clear himself on this point, and, if
the allies', representatives here prefer to
discuss their issues separately, he is per
fectly willing to do so.
Minister Bowen was not prepared to say
tonight just, when his actual work of ne
gotiating with the representatives of the
allies would begin. He rather Intimated
that this might depend on the return from
New York of Count Quadt, the German
Charge d'Affalres, who la fully acquaint
ed with the attitude of his government
on the questions at issue.
Mr. Bowen called at the White House
during the afternoon, but the President
was not In his office at the time. He re
fused tonight to discuss any phase of the
Venezuelan Imbroglio with the representa
tives of the press.
XEW SCHEME OF REBELS.
Report Bowen'n Recall to Check
Cantro'ti Supply of. Caitli.
CARACAS, Jan. 20. The local com
mittee of the Matos revolutionists caused
to be placed last night under the doors
of all the leading merchants and citizens
of Caracas copies of a circular In which
It was set forth that the committee had
information from Washington to the effect
that Mr. Bowen, United States Minister
to Venezuela, had been recalled by Presi
dent Roosevelt; that, as a result of this
step, no peaceful arrangement of the
present troubles was in view; and that
the present blockade could not be raised.
The object of the distribution of this
circular was to stop merchants and others
from subscribing to the government
forced loan. It was reported here today
that this circular was printed on board
a German warship, which Is at present
off La Guayra.
"WILL PAWN THE CUSTOMS.
Guarantee Offered by Castro for
Payment of Award.
LONDON. Jan. 20. The statement that
Mr. Bowen has been authorized by Presi
dent Castro to offer the Venezuelan cus
toms as a guarantee for the fulfillment of
his country's obligations is confirmed.
Tho offer has not yet been accepted, but
it is thought here that it may afford the
opportunity for a withdrawal of the block
ade. The matter will be considered by the
European representatives at Washington
on the arrival there of Mr. Bowen.
A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Com
pany from. Port of Spain. Trinidad, says

WHO GAVE UP THE FIGHT?
INTERESTING POINT RAISED AS TO
OREGON TREATY.
Democratic Tnnntx About Alnskan
Boundary Call Forth Retort asto
"Fifty-Four-Forty or Fight."
Tho general debate on the District of
Columbia bill In the House was largely
devoted to discussion of -the Alaskan
boundary dispute.
Cochran of Missouri denounced an "a
cowardly eurrendr" the course of the
State Department.
Hepburn of Iowa took up the chal
lenge, and counteracted it wUh the
charge that Democratic administra
tions had surrendered the territory be
tween latitudes 40 and 64:40, and also
the republic of Texas.
While Cochran was speaking of the
"truckling policy of the United States
to Great Britain." a stylishly dressed
young woman in tho gallery leaned
forward and cried out, "You He!" She
then left tho gallery.
The District of Columbia hill was
passed, and the House began consider
ation of the Philippine coinage hill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. In the House
today after the reading of the Journal
the agricultural appropriation bill was
reported. The House then resumed con
sideration of the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. The general debate
on the bill, which - was postponed until
today and which consumed two hours,
was devoted to a discussion of general
topics.
Shcppard (Tex.) talked of trusts, using
exceedingly strong language In his de
nunciation of tho existing condition of
affairs. He ridiculed President Roose
velt's anti-trust campaign, declaring that,
in view of his performances, his Minne
apolis speech was a "disheartening mock
ery." "To call him the anti-trust candi
date for 1904," he said, "Is the most colos
sal jost of the time." Shoppard also de
nounced John D. Rockefeller and J. Pler
pont Morgan.
Cochran of Missouri discussed tho
Alaska boundary dispute, criticising se
verely tho "surrender" to England which
he termed "cowardly and pusillanimous."
Hepburn, replying to Cochran, went
back again to the history of the "Demo
cratic surrender" of Oregon.
"Was not Daniel Webster Secretary of
State when the negotiations for the sur
render was arranged, and had not a Whig
administration succeeded, owing to the
death of a Democratic President?" asked
Cochran.
"James Buchanan negotiated the
treaty." replied Hepburn. "Mr. Polk
approved it, and a Democratic Senate rat
ified it. Now, the gentleman whose partv
surrendered a territory in the North
equal to eight states and the empire of
Texas In the South denounces as 'the
crime of the century the possible surren
der of- a narrow strip of territory way up
at the COth parallel of latitude."
Something of a stir was caused just
before Cochran concluded by an unex
pected interruption from the ladies' gal
lery. Cochran was speaking of the
"truckling policy of the United States to
Great Britain." When that truckllns
ceased, he declared, the people of Can
ada, now intensely loyal to England,
would change their attitude.
"You lie," cried a stylishly dressed
young woman, in clear, ringing tones.
VETERAN NEWSPAPER MAN DEAD
JULIAN RALPH.
NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Julian Ralph, the author and war correspondent, died
tonight at his residence, here, aged 50 years. Dr. Calvin S. May, who attended
Mr. Ralph, gave the cause of death as dropoy, complicated with ulcer of the
stomach and enlargement of the liver.
Mr. Ralph was stricken with a hemorrhage while he was acting as correspond
ent with the British Army during the Boer War. A second hemorrhage occurred
at St. Louis Immediately after he had received his appointment as Eastern rep
resentative of the St. Louis Exposltlca.
Mr. Ralph left a widow and five children.
AH eyes were turned to the ladles' gal
lery, where the speaker leaned forward
defiantly, as If she Intended to say some
thing further. But a companion pulled
her back and Immediately afterward she
left the gallery.
Sulzer (N. Y.) also participated in the
debate concerning the Alaskan boundary
line, maintaining that there was no doubt
of the tlUe of the United States to the
disputed territory. He said that, unless
we took and held that territory, future
generations would denounce us as we now
denounce all who had any part In the
surrender of 1SI4.
Without substantial amendment, tho
bill was passed. A special rule for the
consideration of the Philippine coinage
till was then presented by Dalzell. It
provided for five hours' debate. It was
agreed to with the understanding that it
would temporarily displace the Alaskan
delegate bill, which had been made an
order for tomorrow.
At this juncture Bartholdt (Mo.) arose
to a personal explanation to deny his con
nection with what he termed a "quixotic
scheme." It had been reported that
Bartholdt was going to call a meeting
t-f German-American citizens to protest
against the ill-considered utterances
against Germany. Bartholdt explained
that he had no such purpose, but said
he had received a number of letters from
German-Americans suggesting such a
conference for the purpose of emphasiz
ing the fact that the old-time friendship
between the United States and Germany
was near and dear to the heart of every
German in this country.
The House then took up the Philippines
currency bill. Cooper (Wis.), chairman
of the Insular affairs committee, entereu
upon-an explanation of the measure, and
had not concluded when the House, a!
5:05 P. M., adjourned.
LESS MONEY IS NEEDED.
Knox Propones Changes In Appro
priation for Anti-Trust Suit.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The appro
priation committees of the Senate and
House have received letters from Attorney-General
Knox suggesting a change In
the appropriation of $300,000 to be expend
ed under the direction of the Attorney
General in the enforcement of the Sher
man anti-trust act, and laws amendatory
thereof, which passed the House on De
cember 17 last.
Instead of using this large amount In the
employment of special counsel to conduct
proceedings, the Attorney-General sug
gests that an act be passed Increasing
the permanent official force of the De
partment of Justice. He recommends that
authority be granted for the appointment
of an assistant to the Attorney-General,
a new officer, one additional assistant and
two expert and confidential stenographers
and typewriters. With this additional
force, the Attorney-jeneral believes that
a much smaller sum than $500,000 would be
adequate for the purpose Intended and
that the results will be in every way more
satisfactory than through the bill as It
now stands.
TRYING TO HURRY ACTION.
Senators Confer "With Roosevelt and
Knox on Pending Legislation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Senator Cul
lom. chairman of the committee on for
eign relations, had a conference with the
President today concerning the Cuban re
ciprocity treaty. Senators Aldrlch and
Spooncr also had a talk with the Presi
dent about pending legislation. The close
of the session Is drawing near so rapidly
that they hope a definite programme of
legislation may be mapped out soon, in
order that necessary measures may be
enacted.
Attorney-General Knox, was present dur
ing a part of their conference with the
President and the situation regarding- pro
posed trust legislation was considered.
Subsequently Senators Beverldge and
Kean, members of the territorial commit
tee, conferred with the President regard
ing the statehood bill. Senator Beverldge
Is positive that the omnibus bill will not
be passed, but It Is not clear whether he
bases his opinion on a belief that a vote
on It will not be reached or whether It
would be defeated if a vote were taken.
Friends of the measure are pressing for a
vote and are disposed Jo resort to drastic
tactics in order to secure a vote. They
bellevo that, if a vote be reached, the re
sult would be satisfactory to them.

the general purposes at which a bill

vides for publicity through the Interstate

HOW EUROPEANS GET IN.
Railroads Pay Commission! on
Freight Shipped to Interior.
CHICAGO. Jan. 20. The Interstate
Commerce Commission met here today,
reinforced by a special prosecuting coun
sel, to interrogate railroad officials con
cerning import rates. The commission
seeks facts and figures as to import rates
by which European manufacturers are
able to undersell American manufacturers
in the markets of the Western States on
certain classes of goods.
General Freight Agent W. H. Rhett, of
the Illinois Central, was one of the first
to testify. He was unable to state
whether the ocean carriers or the rail
road companies were responsible for the
conditions that prevail.
Wllford Shade, a Custom-House broker
of St. Louis, admitted that he received
from railway companies 10 per cent com

to this matter and giving a list of 100
questions and answers, illustrating some
of the duties of the railroad man. These.
of course, pertain to his railroad, but they
are models of condensed information as to
routes and facilities and will serve as an
excellent guide to any railroad man.
The Denver Times of January 15 prints

rallying cry, was the heading over this In

AIR NOT CLEARED.
(Continued from First Pare.)
L. Wilson will be hlghwater mark for
that candidate, unless he connects with
a miracle within a few days. With Wil
son apparently at the limit of his
strength, the division of 12 scattering
votes cast yesterday will be between
Preston and Ankeny, with the possible
exception of one or two, who may not
be disposed to go to either candidate,
and will continue to throw their votes In
the air. But neither the Preston men
nor the Ankeny men will admit the safety
for Wilson of his select dozen votes.
Ankeny and Preston "Will Gain.
Both of the leading candidates have
already placed the names of some of the
Wilson votes on their lists and expect
In due season to take them Into camp.
The reticence of the respective leaders
In the fight, due to the fear of tipping
their hands to the enemy, makes It a
very difficult matter to forecast the vote
for tomorrow, but It Is generally under
stood that Ankeny and Preston will both
gain two or three votes today, Moore of
King, a Democrat, being slated to vote
for Preston, while some of the men who
today voted for Graves without the for
mality of an introduction, will get back
where they belong.
As an Illustration of the chaotic state
Into which the various Interests involved
In this fight have dragged some of the
delegations, the vote of Whitman County
today is a good sample. With six men
In the delegation, the votes were cast for
five candidates, Ankeny securing Halley
and Durham, while Witter voted for W.
L. Jones, Wilson for John B. Allen, Mc
Kenzle for Turner, and DIx for Graves.
Both Preston and Ankeny are making
claims on the three scattering votes, but
there Is nothing definite to lndlcato' that
they are not still unpledged. Much tho
same conditions prevail with regard to
the other votes which went wide of any
particular mark today.
The Preston men are not willing to
concede to exceed four more votes to
Ankeny, which would bring his vote up
to 53, or four votes short of a caucus
nomination. And yet Ankeny is using
all possible efforts to force a caucus, a
seemingly strange proceeding if he was
not certain of enough votes to give him
the caucus nomination.
"Will Preston and "WHuon Unite?
The Preston men claim that they can
run their strength up to 4S votes from
the Republicans, which, with the assist
ance of Moore's Democratic vote, would
give the Seattle candidate 49 votes. It is
reported that one of the possibilities of the
next few days Is a union of the Preston
and the Wilson forces for the purpose of
effecting a caucus, which will nominate
Preston. This, however. Is not seriously
regarded for the memory of the seven
votes which gave him the start to vie
tory eight years ago Is still fresh In the
mind of John L. Wilson, and when he has
any votes to deliver In this campaign he
will deliver thorn to none other than the
Spokane claimant The individuality of
Wilson will be ever present In this fight.
and he cannot be eliminated from it with
out Harold Preston going down with
him. Of the three candidates Ankeny Is
the only one who has faith enough in his
strength to risk a caucus, and no matter
how. great the invisible strength of the

In this fight against a caucus, that
skeleton at all political feasts, the rail-
I ruau cuinuiissiun is me - yrcuommiiung
I factor. From the beginning of the cam
paign, it his made the candidacy of Har
old Preston subservient to the wishes of
Governor McBride, and even now. if by a
miracle, Wilson would turn over enough
votes to Preston to give that gentleman
a caucus nomination, the Governor would
not permit it to be carried out, until the
safety of his measure was assured by the
pledging of a sufficient number of votes.
With the King County delegation hope
lessly opposed to a commission bill and
the Governor emphatically stating that
there shall be no caucus until King Coun
ty gives him votes enough to pass his bill.
the friends of Preston are experiencing
no end of difficulty in making progress. A
delegation called on the Governor today
and asked his advice as to the best meth
od to follow In order to land Preston a
winner. The Chief Executive is reported
as telling them to make their delegation
get on the Republican platform, and that
In no other way Is it possible to elect
Preston.
The Governor would probably have no
particular scruples about getting the en
tire delegation on the platform, for It Is
apparent that he does not care very much
what action the House delegation from
the blc county takes, eo long as he can
secure help from the Senate. The com
mission bill will undoubtedly paj the
house without much trouble, but as mat
ters now stand, It will meet with a speedy
death in tho Senate. McBride needs the
assistance of five King County Senators
to pass tho bill through the Senate. If
ho can eecure them his friends say that
he will have no trouble In electing Preston
for he may then be enabled to trade off
Eastern Washington votes for Senator In
exchange for King County votes for a
commission bill.
Aid From the Democrats.
The Democratic vote today was solid
for Senator Turner, but It Is almost a cer
tainty that some of the vote3 will be dis
tributed between the leading candidates
before the fight Is over. Some of these
Democrats have been life-long friends of
Ankeny, and with the useles?ness of beat
ing against the air and thereby assisting
In holding up the Legislature appealing to
them, they may be of material aid in
swelling his. list of vote. Preston also
has one or two friends among the Demo
crats, but nothing like a concerted break
up and division of tho Democratic vote Is
possible, some of the leaders of the
minority regarding with horror the pos
sibility of a Republican Senator being
elected with the aid of Democratic vote.
Cnnciin of Commission Boasea.
The Railroad Commission forces will
hold a caucus tomorrow evening In which
Governor McBride will participate. No
definite object is qtated for the meeting,
but It Is believed to be for the purpose
of strengthening any weak spots that may
exist, and mapping out a new line of
action for the bill, which has been mak
ing rather slow progress for the past
week.
At a late hour this evening there had
been no new developments In the Sena
torial situation. On the first joint ballot
to be taken tomorrow Ankeny will prob
ably gain one and possibly two votes.
Preston Is also scheduled for a slight gain.
Wilson will probably retain hla strength
of today but may lose one vote.
King: Asked to Drop Preston.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 21. (Staff corre
spondence.) Jacob Furth, the Seattle mil
lionaire, came In last evening, and is re
ported to be endeavoring to Induce the
King County delegation to abandon Pres
ton and vote for John L. Wilson. At 1 A.
M. Mr. Furth was still in consultation
with John L. Wilson and a prominent Se
attle politician who is closely connected
with the Preston fight.
All of the parties concerned state that
there Is nothing doing, but It Is generally
believed that the protracted conference
which is not yet completed will lead to
some new developments within a very
short time. It is reported that Mr. Furth's
proposal that Preston withdraw and give
Wilson a chance was promptly turned
down by Mr. Preston and hl3 friends, and
a new plan for solving the problem Is
being considered. E. W. W.

A CHILD'S
LIFE FOOD
Physicians speak of fat
food as " life food " and say
that all children ought to have
it in abundance. They clinch
the argument easily by calling
attention to how naturally the
well-fed infant thrives upon fat
food the fat which is in milk.
Physicians say, more im
pressively still, that weak,
thin, nervous children must
have fat food, and recommend
Scott's Emulsion. It prompt
ly returns sickly, backward
children to rosy health. It is
the life of flesh-creating food
and keeps the scale of child
health evenly balanced.
Being prepared for easy di
gestion Scott's Emulsion is
readily accepted by the stom
ach and quickly passed into
the blood. Once absorbed,
the system soon feels the in
fluence of the new force.
There commences at once the
repairing of wasted tissues,
the enrichment of the blood
and the strengthening of the
whole system. Any child who
needs more and better nour
ishment than it seems to be
getting from its ordinary food
will be greatly benefitted if
given Scott's Emulsion.
We'll iendyou a sample free upon request.

Stomach Trouble All
His Life.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
Cured Him of Both.
As is very frequently found the stomach
trouble and headache in the following case
came from the same cause. Dr. Miles' Anti
Pain Pills, like all of Dr. Miles Remedies,
are designed to cure the disease, not the
symptoms. This readily explains why these
sterling medicines can cure such a variety of
diseases. There is no remedy, formula or
prescription which in any way equals Dr.
Miles' Anti-Pain Pills for the speedy cure
and relief of headache and kindred ailments.
"Up to the age of twenty-three my son was
greatly troubled with severe pains in the
stomach. After he had served his term of
enlistment with the army in Ihc Philippines
he came home and was unfit for anything
because of terrible headaches. He found
that Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills not only re
lieved him of the headaches but would pre
vent an attack if taken in time. He contin
ued their use for some time and to his sur
prise and delight he found they had cured
the stomach trouble also. You may imagine
how grateful both he and mYself feel to you
for the good the Anti-Pain Pills have done
him. I may add that I have used your med
icines in our family for many years and keep
a bottle of Nervine in the house all the time.
I think it an ideal household remedy and all
the remedies are just what you recommend
them to be. You have my permission to
publish this." Mrs. M. L. Farkar, Walla
