dictment. It was returned alter I left
Portland. VnUl I have seen It I have
nothing whatever to say, except to re
peat what I said on learning of the ac
cusation, that I am absolutely innocent
of any wrongdoing. After I have seen
precisely what the charges are from the
record, I may have something to say."
Early this evening Senator Fulton called
on bis colleague and talked over at length
the ordeai through which he had gone.

surances of his colleagues In the Senate

ell was being outrageously persecuted

Senators repose in hlro, and was specially

TALK OF EXTRA SESSION.
Need of More Revenue May Force
Revision of Tariff.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 6. The necessity for more
money to continue tho building of the
Navy, for rivers and harbors and for other
public works has become so apparent that
many members of Congress are chang
ing their views as to the advisability of
an extra session In the Spring to revise
the tariff in such directions as will In
crease the revenue.
When an extra session was first talked
of there was nearly unanimous senti
ment in Congress against it, and there
was also a very determined sentiment
among all leading Republicans against
any revision of the tariff. But since It has
been learned that local Improvements and
necessary appropriations will have to be
scaled down or omitted altogether, there
has been a decided change of sentiment.
While jan extra, session -'is yet a remote
contingency, there is a possibility that it
may be called 'for tariff revision, as sug
gested soon after the election ' last FalL

Counterpart of Great War-God, Says
Baker, in Opposing ' Fortifica
tion's Bill, Which Passes
the House. v
WASHINGTON, Janl 6. The House to
day passed the fortifications bill and ad
journed until Monday. After Uttauer
(Pa.) had drawn a lesson from the siege
of Port Arthur to show that submarine
mines had proved of the greatest import
ance .In warfare, Baker enlivened the pro
ceedings by attacking the President, who.
he said, wanted to bold himself up as the
"counterpart of Wllhelm IL the great
war-god. Later Baker found fault with
the provision of the bill permitting- entry
of ouch war material as might be pur-
cnased abroad, and charged the Repub
lican party with being a fraud in Its con
tention that the foreigner paid the tax.
On motion at Grosvenor (Rep.. O.).
the committee of the whole House was
discharged from murther consideration of
the bill to revise the laws relating to the
regulation of steam vessels, and the bill
was referred back to the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries.
The House then went into committee of
the whole for the consideration of the
fortifications appropriation bill. Uttauer
(Rep., N. Y.). having It In charge, ex
plained the various items in the bill, the
main features of which already have been
published.
He spoke of the great lessons learned
from the situation at Port Arthur, and
said the conditions there demonstrated.
first, the efficiency of the submarine mine,
and, second, from the land side, the prac
tical useleeaness of guns of long range
without the proper ssytem of direction
and fire control. He instanced the fact
that the Japanese gunfire had only sunk
two ships, whereas the Russians bad lost
through submarine mines seven battle
ships, 13 cruieers and 35 torpedo-beats and
destroyers.. He defended the appropri
ation for submarine mines, saying their
importance was of the greatest.
Baker (Dem., N. i.) vigorously con
demned the bill as a waste of public
money, when It was suggested that he
quote Scripture.
"Oh," he said, "when we are led by a
man who worsmps tne war goa. wno
wants to hold himself up to the United
States as the equal, as the equivalent, as
the counterpart, of "Wllhelm II, the great
war god'; ;when an administration is
dominated by such a spirit as that, what
a force it Is to talk about any Scriptural
quotations; what a farce it la to talk
about anythhjff In the Interest of peace!"
Under license of debate. Adams (Rep.,
Pa.) spoke in advocacy of his bill Intro
duced yesterday, providing for a whipping
poet In the District of Columbia for wlie-
beaters.
Bedo (Rep.. Minn.) inquired If Adams
had reported the bill because he was a
bachelor, and therefore Immune.
Adams re oiled tnat tne oniy ciass oi
persons who could Introduce eucn legis
lation waa the single man, because they
are not In the married mens trust.
Brundlge (Ark.) severely attacked tne
nrovlsion appropriating $700,000 for con
struction of seacoast batteries In the In
sular possessions, saying It was a most
extravagant and useless expenditure, tie
entertained the hone, he said, that at
some time the United States would be
able to rid herself of those duties "that
have proven a burden and a tax upon thla
country." A motion by him to strike out
the provision was lost. 59 to 54-
When the concluding paragrapn or tne
hill was reached, relating to the remission
of duties on such war materials ae might
be Durchased abroad. Blakeley offered an
amendment striking out that feature of
the bill, and Inquired of Uttauer if tnat
nad been incorporated at tho request of
the Secretary of war.
'Yes." said Llttauer. "tho present ana
all former Secretaries,"
Baker chanred that Secretary Tart waa
a member of an Administration which ad
vanced the proposition that the foreigner
pays the tax.
"Now why." he inquired, "are you going
to make this present to the foreigner?"
Ljttauer responded that It was not the
time for that question to be discussed.
Baker exclaimed: "Oh, yes. It Is always
the time. You people are showing up to
be frauds In your contention that the
foreigner pays the tax. That Is always
appropriate."
The bill was passed without amendment,
and the House at 1:43 P. M. adjourned
until Monday.

today occupied the time of the Senate
given to the Joint statehood bill. He
made an argument against the union of
Arizona and New Mexico on the ground
that the people of the two territories did
not desire It. Several bills of minor Im
portance were passed.
At the opening of the Senate Dr. Ed
ward, Everett Hale prayed for the na
tions of the world, "which," he said,
"thou art making smaller and smaller
every day In thine infinite providence."
Fulton called up the bill extending
to the United States the relief award
ed by the International commission of
1893 to citizens of Great Britain en
gaged in seal, fishing In Behrihg Sea.
and, explaining the provisions of the
measure, said that the only sealers who
had not been indemnified for the con
fiscation of vessels prior to 1893 were
Americans. After considerable debate
the further consideration of the bill
was postponed.
The following bills were passed:
Providing for the settlement of
claims made by officers and enlisted

At 2 o'clock the Senate resumed consid
eration of the Joint statehood bill, and
Bard (Rep. Cal.) addressed the Senate.
He antagonized the provision of the bill
uniting Arizona and New Mexico, saying
that the people of those territories had
never signified a desire for this disposi
tion of their claims to statehood, and that
all the conditions are unfavorable to it
Bard gave his- assent to the proposition
to consolidate Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory, and urged this legislation as
urgent because of the want of proper gov
ernment In Indian Territory.
During the course of Bard's speech he
was interrupted by Tillman who said he
wanted to make an appeal for white su
premacy In Arizona. To unite the two
territories would, he said, be like joining
Florida with Cuba, and to the subjection
of the white peoeple of Arizona to the
domination of Mexicans and greasers, he
was opposed.
On the conclusion of Mr. Bard's re
marks the bill temporarily was laid aside
and the Senate went into executive ses
sion. After tho doors were re-opened the
reading of the omnibus claims bllK was
completed and the Senate adjourned until
Monday.

to have the case reopened, and the bill
was opposed at a recent hearing by H.

TRY FOOD ON THEMSELVES.
Agriculture Department Clerks Will
Test Cold-Storage Products.
"WASHINGTON, Jam 6. The so
called "poison squad." consisting: of
Department of Agriculture clerics, who
have volunteered for service in carrying-
out the food-preservative and
color-matter experiments of Chemist
"Wiley, will reassemble next Monday
and continue the experiments until
March, probably concerning: the effects
of artificial coloring of food on the sys
tprc. They will then have a respite
until the middle of April, when the
work will be resumed until July 1.
"While continuance of these experi
ments beyond that date has not been
finally determined upon, it is probable
that during next year a similar squad
will be utilized under the same strict
rules to carry on the experiments a?
to cold-storage food products. These
tests will have in view the determin
ing of the exact effect of cold storage
on foods, and the rapidity of the de
velopment of bacteria under cold-storage
conditions.
