Hie statehood riders to the agricul tural and postofllce appropriation bills vera withdrawn In the Senate, and both bills were passed. The Senate accepted the House amendments to the Philippine currency bill, which now goro to the President. The consideration of the sundry drll bill rare rise to discussion of the com pensation to ex-Queen Lllluokalanl. but action waa deferred on that Item, thouch the bill was nearly finished otherwise. The removal of E. F. Foreshajr from the Idaho Surveyor-General's offloe gars rise to more strictures on U Civil Service Commission. The House parsed the Joint resolution on the St. IOuls fair dedication, and the Epeaker appointed members of the Joint committee It also finally passed the Washington union station bill, the Army appropriation and the bill to In crease pensions of disabled veterans by adopting the conference reports. De bate on the Fowler currency bill was resumed. "WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. The Senate net at 11 o'clock today. Immediately Quay asked for unanimous consent for a vote on the statehood hill today. Kein (N. J.) objected. A bill to incorporate the American Na tional Institute In Paris caused some discussion. Its object Is to permit, the acceptance of a tract of land from France and the reception of a number of art gifts from that country. Tillman ob jected and tho bill went over. A resolution Introduced by Dubois call ing on the civil service commission for information regarding the dismissal of Elmer F. Forcshay as an employe of the Surveyor General's office wad laid before the Senate. Spooner sent to the desk and had read a letter from Commissioner Foulke, of the civil service commission, critlclilng certain statements made by Dubois and giving some reasons for Foreshay's removal. Dubois expressed his surprise at the presentation of such a letter, which he E&ld was ex parte when, his resolution was under consideration by the Senate. Bacon (Go,) questioned the propriety of the matter being brought to the notice of the Senate In the way Foulke had done. If waa an act of supreme ef frontery and an Indignity to the Senate for suow a letter to be written while the resolution was pending. Teller (Colo.) said it was an unheard, of performance and a gross breach of the privilege of the Senate. Bpoorer said he could see no act of effrontery in the matter. If there ' was any breach or effrontery Spooner said he thought he was personally chargeable with it, but he thought it proper to have read a statement of the facts. Spooner remarked that he had not read the letter and If he had he might not have pre sented it. Bacon thought it should be -wiLuorawn and not appear in the rec ords. Thereupon Spooner said he would read the letter, and if he concluded there was anything in it discourteous to the Senate he would withdraw it. An amendment to the resolution was agreed to, calling for the. evidence in re gard to the conduct of the Surveyor General's office in Idaho, by Mr. Perault. and as amended the resolution wa3 agreed to. Statehood aiders "Withdrawn. A Senate bill was passed amending the law relating to the American seamen for the protection of such seamen and to pro mote commerce as well as to permit allot ments of seamen's wages. The agricultural appropriation bill then was taken up. Proctor announced that he was authorized to withdraw the state hood amendment, which was done. An amendment appropriating '$300,000 , to stamp out the foot and mouth disease, was agreed to. The bill then was passed. A conference Teport with a partial agreement on the army appropriation bill was agreed to. , Lodge moved that the Senate agree to the amendments of the House to the Phil ippine currency bill. After a speech by Itawllrys of Utah the motion prevailed, which passed the bill. The postofflce appropriation bill was then taken up. Mason, in charge of the bill, explained that he was Instructed to with draw the statehood rider, which was ac cordingly done. An amendment by Mc Comas. providing for the payment of toll on top roads incurred by rural free de livery carriers, was agreed to. After some discussion, the bill was passed. . Consideration of the sundry civil bill was then begun, the reading of It con suming one hour and a half. Vote for Qneen 1.11. Spooner inquired if the appropriation of COO.000 to ex-Queen Lllluokalanl was an' honorary one. Allison said that it was founded on a claim, -pretended or real, of Lllluokalanl to what are known as the crown lands in Hawaii, of which she had been deprived. Morgan thought the mat ter should go over. Hoar said that at first he had a strong feeling against the ex-Queen on account of newspaper articles, but he since had learned that the lands referred to fairly might have been claimed to have been her private property, and . not mere crown lands. Their proceeds had been used for her private support. He said the ex-Queen had tried to reconcile her people to the rule of the United States, and that she was a woman of great personal worth. He hoped the appropriation "would be made; .because It was his desire to atone for publia utterances of disrespect toward her. Answering Hoar. Spooner said that if there is any' claim on the part of Lllluo kalanl as an Individual contradistinguished , from,- the. sovereign. It should be dealt wltb ,inv'a broad way. Allison explained that the claim rested' on equity. Blackburn, who reported the amend ment, said the committee on Pacifia islands was unanimous in the recommen dation. It is not contended, he said, that there is a legal claim involved against the United States, "She has no day In court." he said., "The fee to the crown lands was not in her. but In the sovereign; but she i was absolute in the receipt of the rents." ' Since her overthrow, be said, the govern, ment had collected $50,009 in rents from "ihose lands. He would not discuss the re sponsibility of the United States in the matter, but no dethronement would have occurred and the United States would not ,have appropriated to Itself the rentals 3iad it not been for the landing of United States marines from the Boston. It would be a good investment, he said, to pay the 'nmount. because of the feeling of grati tude with which it would-be accepted and -tho appreciation those people-would show. It was a question, be said, that addressed itself to the consciences of the Senators. Stewart spoke In a similar vein, and by consent the matter went oyer until to morrow. "Wharf for Honolnln. An amendment was agreed to appropri ating uo.wo for construction of a wharf. retaining wall and laundry plant at iionoiuiu. An amendment appropriating $50,000 was adopted to pay the expenses of the Joint commissioners to negotiate the .difference, between the United States and Great Brit ain with respect to Canada.

If the appropriation is postponed until the next session of Congress, the persons to whom tnis money la now Justly due will be compelled to wait a year longer, a delay which.

The Democrats of the House have called a caucus for to morrow morning to act on the filibustering programme the Democratic, leaders have decided on for the remainder of the es slon.

If an attempt was made to call up the case for action, they would do everything In their power to block the wheels of legislation until March 4.

Speaker Henderson notified Richardson, the minority leader, that the case would be called up tomorrow. Thereupon the call for the Democratic caucus was Issued. The Democrats are organizing for a fight to a finish. While their action probably will not Jeopardize any of the appropria tion bills, it they stick to their programme or demanding a roll call on every proposi tion nna insisting on the presence of a quorum, they can greatly embarrass the majority and defeat many minor measures which otherwise would pass.

Feb. 2K.-2rh Twentl.th Century National Gospel, Camp legislation committee, composed . of oromlnent min isters and. laymen of the different evan gelical denominations, has Issued an a re peal to the ministers and Christian public asking that today be set aside as a day of humiliation and prayer. Various topics are enumerated, for which at the present time the appeal says there Is pressing call for Trayer. The first on the list Is "for a return to absolute faith In the Bi ble as the-word of God and authoritative word of Christ as furnishing the churches their only credentials and message; and for an immediate revival of earnest and sympathetic study of that word in order to learn what God would have done In the present crisis." This appeal of prayer Is one phase of the movement in opposition to the revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith. The changes In the confession were approved by the General Assembly, and by a majority of presbyteries last year, but cannot formally be incorporated In the confession until the next General Assembly. Meanwhile those opposed to the change are active. Their campaign committee In this appeal for a prayer charges the reformers with adding to and taking from the word of God and by so doing, lessening the hope for a'flnal universality of the church. COAL MINE WAR. (Continued from First Par-) ers of America, went to Breckley this afternoon to appear for the miners. Injunction Is Svreeplntr.

The defendants were all the coal companies operating In the Now River field. 130 members of the United Mlneworkers of America, by name, including President Mitchell and Secretary Wilson, and all other persona whatsoever who aided and abetted them. The Injunc tion covered almost every foot of ground In the coal-mining region of New River. While all of tho mines in the Kanawha and New River sections have been at wprk for some months, tho strike has not been officially declared off, and Its embers have been smoldering in tho New River Gorge, threatening to break into flames In the Spring. The locality in which today's tragedy occurred is one in which tho mines re cently have been opened, and the small towns are filled with the most desperate men that have ever come Into the state. Advices from the scene of the conflict tonight are to thc effect that all is quiet now, but fears are entertained that trouble will break out afresh at any moment. Another Miner Dies. Joe Heiser, one of the wounded, has since died. General St. Clair. Attorney for the coal operators of the New River district, said to a representative of the Associated Press tonight: "The nctn of the miners In the New River Valley havo been productive of nothing except lawlessness and destruc tion of life and property since the be ginning of the strike In June. This state of affairs has existed so long that the good people of that section have deter mined to support the officers of the state and Federal Governments to Whatever ex treme may be necessary to protect th em pelves 'against these marauders and to teach the United Mlneworkers of Amer ica that they cannot organize the miners of "West Virginia by lawless methods, and further that nonunion men who want to work shall enjoy that privilege. let the cost be what it may. The men who have been brought Into the state to work In the mines In the nlace of thnsp who re fused to work have been Intimidated and bulldozed to atop work. The men who are conducting the affairs of the United Mine- workers may as well know now as later tnat this has got to stop." ABOLISH CONTRACT SYSTEM. Tailors In Bis; Cities Start on Great Fight.
