It.

M. each day while the bill is under consideration. Poss (Rep. Indf), chairman of the -committee on naval affair?, explained the bill, saying among ofher things that the i amount carried by It, $100,070,079, was mod erate, in consideration of all the circum stances which the committee had be fore it. Anticipating a deficiency at the end of th& fiscal year of from $50,000,000 to 000,000, if all the appropriation bills re ported became laws. Littlefleld (Me.) in quired -of Foes if it waa wise to appro priate in excess -of the revenues. Foss replied that on genoral principles Con gress ought to appropriate according to the revenues. Littlefleld discussed conditions existing in the Philippines and said they would continue to bo a. veritable Pandora's box. He would, be said", vote- to strike oft oven tariff between the UnltedStatcs and the Philippines, not because he be lieved In freo trade between the United States and a foreign, land, "but because It s not foreign land. The future will determine whether this altruistic Interna tional experience may. in the light of his tory, be deemed worth while." The Philippine Archipelago, he said, planted the United Stales in the storm center of International controversies or disturbances, and the Philippines, so long' as retained, would necessitate large in creases in the Army and Navy. Japan, he said, was now. .engaged ''in that hell ish trade of war, and ever since she was driven out of Manchuria "by tht brutal concert of the International European powers and Russia left in charge, had been devoting her zeal, energy, ability, patriotism and religious fervor to pre paring for tha, trade of war." While 11 may be wise to keep the open door with China, he said he did not know "how large the stick may need to be to keep between the door and Its jamb." Speaking of the South American repub lics, IJttlcfield expressed apprehension that the United States would be sooner or- later policing them. The Monroe Doc trine, he declared, did not go so far that the United States must sit upon the threshold of- every South American re public "and keep the door open in order that It may cash their checks or collect the debt of any single power." The bill then was laid aside, and resolu tions were adopted calling upon tho Sec retary o the Navy for information as to the reasons -for canceling a certain con tract and rejecting a certain bid of the Mldvale Steel Company and giving the orders to another company, and. also re questing the Secrotary to furnish Infor mation relating to experiments with cer tain gunootton shells on plate armor. IN DEFENSE OF HIS FATHER Representative Sullivan Tells How i He Was Implicated in Homicide. WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. The second chapter of the episode between Sullivan of Massachusetts and Hearst of New York occurred in the House today when Sullivan again took the floor upon a question of privilege and related tho clr oumstances leading up to the indictment and conviction of his father and himself for manslaughter. In decided contrast with .the remarks of yesterday, when the two men heaped upon each other epithets and charges of a serious nature, Sulll ran's statement today was devoid of any further attack on his colleague and was 1 straight, reiteration of the occurrence refcrrtd to oy Hearst yesterday. Sullivan admitted the . charge, but said that he himself had only been technically guilty and was permitted to leave the court a free man without serving a day's im prisonment or being subjected to a fine. His father had been imprisoned a year and a half, but on the introduction of new evidence, which presented a grave doubt of guilt, had been pardoned. Sulli van's statement was listened to with marked attention and at its conclusion he was warmly applauded, many members leaving their seats and shaking his hand. Hearst was not present during the time he spoke. The romainder of the day was devoted to consideration of the naval appropria tion bill, Littlefleld speaking at length tc gardlngthe necessity for keeping, appro priations within the limits of the revenues of tho country. Sullivan, again rising to a question of personal privilege, declared that yester day. Hearst bad ignored, his offer to make a statement ' concerning his connection with the homicide to which Hearst al luded. "The case arose in thf . manner." said Sullivan. "My father was the sole pro prietor of a licensed Jiotel-known as the -Central House, .in -Cambridge, Masai An intoxicated tnan. who was not a guest anu. uau not (jiua co ute uuici umi ,ua.j, joanie to the main door, and, -my'ather, ".peeing" him, shut the door against him. l'hercupon.thc man went,. around, to the back door .and broke a window.' My fath er went out upon the gtrpet. to.oK. the man by the collar and .demanded, that r.c pay ' for J.he damage he had done. The man j "responded by striking hlra, ahda fight cn- I ied. -It is a fact,-and .one thathas never I bpoi" denied, that nO weapons of 'any Jlnd were used on cither side. I came 'tip at the time wheff my father was being overpowered by ths man and -took- the Jpart of my"fathcr In" the struggle. Xhe juxy found that the man wasj Jcnocked down by a blow from xny lather's fist .and struck his "head' against the curb stone and" became unconscious. There was 'testimony" In the trial' of -the case that he novcer recovered consciousness- and died s.ome two days after the assault. "At the conclusion of the trial.- my father was sentenced to three years in the -House of - Correction. The District Attorney, on his own motion," stated' to the court that he would ask no sentence against me, as I was bnt a ..boy, 17 -years of age, !n my first year at the Boston Law School, and without anyNmoral .guilt In the matter at all; that I .was held solely-because. I was present and was a party concerned In the assault, and was only technically gulltjv Accordingly,-the court placed my case on file. I was not fined one cent nor Imprisoned one minute. v"After IS months of my father's term had been served, tho Governor's Council of Massaehusftts- pardoned him, and their action was due" to the fact that two-"wit-nesses who did not appear .at the trial in the court came, before the Governor's Council and testified; one that he had gone with the deceased to. a hotel in Boston, where -he obtained liquor, and that the deceased came back with him j.hat njght Intoxicated. Tho other witness testified that during the night" the deceased-got up In. his. house, and -while 1ppceedlnff- toward :'the yard which ad 4oisthepremfces,. fell. down. aJfiightjof stairs, was . JJien pfekgd up uncon scious, brought -to his bed. and remained there without regaining consciousness un til he died. This raised a doubt in the minds of the Governor's Council an to whether the fall upon the curbstone had caused the man's death or the fall down the stairs, most of them inclining to the ViaV that ltTvas the fall down the stairs which produced the fracture of tho skull tliat resulted In unconsciousness from Thfeli-l never recovered" All the facts, ho saldV'tfcrS, fully pub-j usnea in an me newspapers in tnc uuy of Boston at the time and were before his constituents when he waa elected' to the Massachusetts Senate In 1900 and 1901, and to Congress of the United 3tatejln 19u2 and lPOi. "and it was not.'' lfa said. In conclusion, "until 0 years after that alleged offenso that any Individual was found, who felt that It was necessary or proper to allude to the circumstances of tho case." " Sullivan received loud applause from both" sides of the chamber when -.he de clared that he walked out of court, a free man and had not been Imprisoned, a day nor fined a cent. The applause broke out afretih when he declared that under simi lar circumstances If his father were alive ho would go to his defense. He took hfcr seat amid renewed applause.' several mem bers going to him and shaking his hand.. Hearst. was not on the floor when Sul livan spoke, but came In soon afterwards. "When Sullivan concluded. h"hf Republican colleague. Gardner, feelingly spoke of his Intimate association with Sullivnn In the Massachusetts Sonata. Ho testified to Sullivan's worth as a man, and -said, amid great applause, that "there is no man in Massachusetts today for which I per sonally would lay down iriy life sooner, and say that the man is honest and aboc reproach, than Mr. Sullivan." Shober (Dcm., N. T.) also rising to a question of prlvilogc, expressed the proud feeling of those who have ad vocated the principles advanced by Hearst.

WOULD ADMIT ONLY ONE STATE Probable Agreement of Senate to Ac cept House Statehood Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Conferenccs among members of the Senate have been in progress today looking to an agree ment to accept the decision of the House on the statehood bill if that body should determine upon amending It to admit only Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state and eliminate all that part which relates to New Mexico. The close vote in the Senate over the proposition to admit Arizona and New Mexico as one state seems to preclude the possibility of an agreement in regard to these territories. At the same time the demand for the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory has been so great that there is a. disposition to come to an agreement that would save that portion of the bill. Send Statehood Bill to Conference. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Representa tive Tawney introduced a resolution to day which discharges the committee .on territories from consideration of the statehood bill, disagrees to the Senate amendments and asks a conference with the Senate.

DRAWBACK GUT OUT 'Millers '.'Can'-t Get Canadian s WheatiDuty-Free. - SENATE ADOPTS ' . Patterson's Claim to Equal Favor to Lead-Miners Is Ignored Purpose -.of Drawbacks. WASHINGTON, Peb. 14. Tho Senate today passed tho agricultural appropria tion bill and took up tho District of Co lumbia appropriation bill. The Han3 brough amendment to the agricultural bill, relative to the drawbacks on wheat, was agreed to after an oxtondad debate. In which the tariff question figured to considerable extent. . When the agricultural appropriation bill was taken up, the Hansbrough, amend ment, intended to be a legislative Inter pretation of tho portions? of the Dlngley law relating to tho duty on wheat, was first considered. It declares that para graph 234 of that act, which imposes a specific duty on wheat, shall not be held to be affected by the provisions of sec tion 30 of the same act, which provides for a drawback on Imported articles used in domestic manufacture. Hansbrough contended that the de cision allowing a drawback on Imported wheat was wrong, because the pro portion of flour made from such wheat could not be. distinguished from that mado of the domestic product, as he arg-ued was necessary under the draw back provision. "We hear much about tariff re vision," JIansbrough remarked, "but If the practice " of the Treasury De partment in accordance with this -decision is to go on, such revision will be unnecessary, because the Treasury Department will make its own revis ion." Coming tb the specific matter In question, he said that tho price paid for Imported wheat would tlx the price of the entire wheat product of the United States. Lead-Miners Enter Claim. Patterson made Inquiry as to wheth er the amendment would affect wheat only, and while Hansbrough answered In tho affirmative, Allison took the op posite view, saying that constructively it would affect all industries using im ported articles. Patterson expressed the opinion that the inter-relations should be general, and Heyburn expressed sympathy with that view, saying that the lead-mine own ers especially need relief. He asserted that ex-Attornoy-General Griggs by his decision on Importations of lead had worked the Indirect repeal of the duty on lead ore. Hansbrough said that wheat grown in the United States was protected and had had the effect of making wheat in this country worth from 17 to 3) cents per bushel more than Canadian wheat, and he predicted that the practice, in conformity with tho recent decision, would have the ef fect of lowering tho price of American wheat, while it incroased the price of the- Canadian article. Patterson contended that Olney's construction of- the law in connection wkhvthe importation of ores had been correct, lie said thafthe smelter trust owns extensive lead mines in Mexico, and that under the Griggs decision, re ver"ing Mr. Olney, Mexican load is imported practically free of duty. Tho effect Is to enable the trust to abso lutely control the smelting Industry to the extent of driving independent smelters out of existence and doing great injury to entire mining communi ties. "They control the freight rates on ores, too," Heyburn interrupted to say. McCumber supported tho Hansbrough amendment, saying the effect of the decision is tp establish free trade and to bring the price of American wheat to the Canadian level. Pettus made the point that the amend ment was out of order, remarking, how ever, that the effect-' of the drawback was to defraud the farmers and rob tho United States Treasury of its dues. His point' was not sustained. Allison's Amendment Accepted. An amendment suggested by Allison, striking out the portion construing the intention of the Dlngley law and confin ing It to the operation of the law, was accepted. Will the Senator, who had. much to do with framing the law, say that It was Intended to nullify the provisions of the duty?" asked Mr. Hansbrough. Allison replied that It was Intended that the drawback feature of the tariff hou!d be greatly enlarged. Ho added that the drawback privilege greatly enlarged our manufacturing exports. He was willing that the wheatgrowers should have the relief sought, but did not want the pro vision made general. Patterson suggested an amendment making the provision applicable to lead ores as well as wheat. " "The mining Industry is as important in some parts of the country as the milling industry is m others, he said, "and all that I ask Is that the mining Industry $hall have the benoflt of tho proposed declaration." Patterson'.- amendment was voted down and. when the Senate resumed leg Islative business after the proceedings In the Swavne trial. Hansbroughs amend mrnt was agreed to. As adopted, tlic amendment reads: ' f That caracrarih 234. ,of th act of Ju'.y 24, 180". entitled "An act to prwld rrvtnuc for the Governnvnt and f.0 encovrace the Industries of the Vnlted State, -ehall not te hd to b affected by the provisions of nectlon 30 ot this act. The bill as amended was- then passed, and the District of Columbia appropria tion bill taken up and was under con sideration when' the Senate went into ex ecutive session It adourr.ed at a:35 P. M. DISPUTE ON ARBITRATION Arguments on Which Senate and Ad ministration Rely WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. Senator Lodge presented to the Senate today In executive session a list of all the general and particular arbitration treaties, or ar titration articles Of treaties containing ether provisions, that have been submit ted to the Senate. Tho Senator has com oiled also a statement showing the eon stitutlonal methods of making and rati fying treaties in certain foreign iCOUn tries. The statement .was ordered print ed as a- public document. The disposition of each arbitration treaty is given by th statement. It shows that 44 were submitted, of which 43 were ratified, and one the 01ney Pauneefote treaty with Great Britain rejected. Of the treaties ratified. 57 were not amended and six wero amended. Seven arbitration agreements nave been entered Into without being submitted to the Sen ate- They all provided for the settlement of private claims, and were "Kith Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Mexico (Plus fund case), Domingo and two with Haytl. The Do minican Is the San Domingo Company Improvement case, inquired into by Sen ator Bacon's resolution Introduced yes terday. The compilation of the laws covering the ratification of arbitration ,'agreements of all thCTCduntries with which 'theUnit ed - StAtwMia. .acgoUate& such treaties ; shows that In -every instance the executive ' must secure the approval of at least one, or In most Instances both, parliamentary bodies. -Exceptions are the cases of Switzerland, where the parliamentary body Is supreme lit treaty-making, the ex ecutive having none of the power, and of Great Britain, where the King must se cure the approval of a committee of Par liament analogous with the foreign rela tions committer of the Senate of the Unit ed States. The announcement is made by Senator J Lodge that he will not make any statc- ment in answer to the letter of the Prcsl DDnVlon i dflPt which charged that the ratification rnUVIoUJof the arbitration treaties with the amendment adopted was a step backward and not a Btep forward. j "So far as 1 know, no one Is going to (make a statement on that subject." said tho Senator. , - , ii is iwinica out in vacjinifiiiciuun cir- i clos. in further evidence of the allega I tlon that the President has sought to cs j tabllsh no precedent in troaty-making, . that under The Hague treaty, to which j the Senate gave its approval, tho Ex- ccuirve "as power to mane special ar rangements for arbitrations. Article SI of The Hague treaty, touching this point, reads: "The powers who have recourse to ar bitration sign a special act ('compromls'). in which the subject of the difference Is clearly defined, as well as the extent of the arbitrators powers." The .French word" "compromls." used in The Hague convention, Is said by de partmental experts to be equivalent, not to the English word "compromise." but rather to tho term, "agreement," and the executive bnnch of the Government has proceeded heretofore and without objec tion upon this understanding. Other con ventions, similar In terms and scope to the arbitration treaties just acted, upon by tho Senate, were in process of nego tiation here between the State Depart mnt, and some of the Foreign Ministrs, but negotiations havo been completely suspended and the Japanese treaty signed Saturday morning will be tho last on tho list BRYAN SUGGESTS COMPROMISE Would Let President Submit Ques tions to Hague Tribunal. ST. PAUL. Feb. 14. William J. Bryan was in St. Paul today and called ori Gov ernor Johnson. TVhOe there he gave out an interview on the recent controversy between the President and the Senate. Mr. Bryan said: "J- believe the Senate is right in refus ing to surrender Its right to a voice In making treaties, and I think the Presi dent is in error. The very fact that ho refuses to recognize the right of an opin ion so overwhelmingly expressed Is In it self evidence of the danger 1n delegating to him the power which he asks. Thero is, however, a basis upon which he and the Senate might agree, and I hope that a reconciliation may take place. The basis to which I refer, and which I have pro posed lu an editorial. Is that the Presi dent be authorized to submit to The Hague Court for investigation any and every question Involving an international dispute, the parties to the dispute reserv ing the right to take such action as they deem proper after tho facts are ascer tained. "This would be a broader power, in one respect than the President asks for, be cause It would enable him to put on foot an Impartial investigation, and this In vestigation, by removing misunderstand' lng and defining the issue, would result in the settlement of many of the ques tions which he might hesitate to submit to arbitration in advance of investigation. It would at the -same time preserve the Senate's right to participate In any treaty or other binding agreement Involv ing the decision of an international ques tion." SWAYNE'S STATEMENT BARRED Senate Decides His Evidence Cannot Be Used Against Him. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. The usual three hours was given by the Senate to day to the trial of the Impeachment charges against Judgo Charles' Swayne. In connection with that case the Senate decided to take no testimony on the point of the Judge's residence outside of his district; also that Judge Swayne'o state ment to the House committee should not be used" as evidence. After two wltneesc3 had testified. Man ager Palmer attempted to have the state ment made voluntarily by Judge swayne before the House committee In Novem ber last placed before tho Senate, but Mr, Thurston protested on the ground that the respondent's testimony on a former occasion could not be used to Incriminate himself. The chair held that testimony to be Inadmissible. Bailey appealed from tho decision, ar guing that this was not a criminal pro ceccdlng nor a court within the meaning of the etatute. The appeal caused the first rollcall since the beginning of the proceeding. The question was put' as to whether the testimony was namtssioic. The Senate decided that It was not. The following Republican Senators voted for Its admission: Allison, Crane. Diet rich. Long and Spooner. The Democratic Senators voting In the negatlvo wltli the Republicans were: Bacon.

Charlton Finds Wide Interest in the Portland ' Exposition. A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas senger agent of the Northern Pacific, has returned from a ten days' visit to tho California territory of the company. Mr. Charlton fells "of the great rain which has been bad In Southern Callfor nla and of the predictions of the Califor nians that It means two' or three good crops to them in as many years to come. The country is. and will be prosperous, says Mr. Charlton, and this fact "svPq nave a great deal to- do with the travel to the Lewis and Clark Fair. - There Is a great Interest in the Expo sltion throughout the state, according to Mr. Charlton, aad the great mass of the traveling Californlans are making ar- rangcnienta to take their vacations In Oregon and the Northwest. "Tho little towns and the big towns throughout the "state," said 3Ir. Charl ton, "have got the Lewis and Clark fe ver, and have got It bad. Those who travel during the Summer are none of them planning to go to the East, most of them having been these, but the great majority are making up their minds to spend the Summer in Oregon and. the Northwest. "Throughout the state all of the towns arc making preparations for their state Lewis and Clark exhibit, and it la up to Oregon to get In and make a showing or the slate will look like 30 cents at It3 own circus." "Sam Perkins, .the owner of tho Ta coma Led and several other papers In Washington, is taking a great interest In the Fair." continued . Mr, Charlton "for he sees that -if people are brought this far toward Washington they will go the rest of- the way,. and his country will get hold of them and perhaps be able to claim some of them for future residents, Mr. Charlton is sure, from what he has seen on his recent visit and from what he has heard from the various ticket agents of the lines connecting with the East, that, the people of Oregon have no Idea of the magnitude which the Fair will as sume before its close.

"Sow do not mis construe this trm with hypnotism, for that Is quite another branch of Metaphysics. It is unnecessary to hypnotize a patient to cure him: on the contrary, a patient can be cured quicker by the- proper application while in the waking state and thus do away wltn the thoughts of dan ger which often accompany the hypnotic process. Nature will cure any patient, when the body and mind resume their normal conditions. The application of this treatment Is not a miraculous healing-, but it Is a growth one assumes through understanding of the powers he has access to and which I am able to brlns into activity and make you con scious of their existence. One cannot learn to be a successful healer in a day, a week or a year, but after lie understands the vital principles of appjlcatlon, he must have the experience of handling- a multitude of peo ple who hav a 'multitude of diseases. He learns only from his personal experience, just as one becomes a successful merchant, farmer or me chanic first knowledge, then experience. I have had ten years' experi ence in handling the sick, in which time I have handled upwards of three hundred thousand people. You are now privileged to have the benefit of this experience. I -will for a few days give free consultation, and I will treat the lirst people who apply more reasonably than I will later on.

This is a Scientific Age, in which the Goddess of Health, destroying both superstition and fear, show ers her bright rays of sunshine and happiness into places heretofore kept dark by Ignorance. Humanity is becoming more and more inter ested In Metaphysics the science of the mind or soul. This does not consist of mental treatment alone or talking one out of an Imaginary disease, but it is an absolute scien tific application which brings about an absolute cure. In the first place, much depends upon the control tho physician has of his own mind and will, and the application of that mind and will to the diseased mind as well as the diseased body of the patient. The physician must be able to make hlra the patient know and fee! that he is being helped without any particular effort on tho part of the patient. There are many ways of apply ing this treatment o the patient, and almost every patient must have a different application- The Intelli gent physician must have tue knowledge of neoDle as well :s first place, the patient must have faith FRESH CODS' LrRyg 4
