THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1903. STANDS ITS GROUND House Rejects All Changes in Statehood Bill, DEMOCRATS JEER MAJORITY They Vainly Protest Against Rules and Claim Right to Vote on Amendments Separately Eulogies on Miss Willard. WASHINGTON. Feb. lT.-ln order to facilitate action at this session on the statehood bill the House today passed a resolution sending that measure, as Amended by the Senate, directly into con ference. With the exception o McLach lan, of California, who voted with the Democrats, party lines were strictly drawn. After several hours discussion tho Naval appropriation bill was laid aside and the House entered on exercises appropriate to the inception and accept ance of a statue of Frances E. Willard, presented by the State of Illinois. In his prayer the chaplain, referring to the exercises incident to the accept ance of the statue of Frances E. Willard. i said "that by the purity of her soul, the breadth and scope of her intellectual at tainments, the eloquence and chastity of her speech, and her unselfish devotion to the purity of the home, the state and hu manity, she had won for herself the splendid and just encomium, 'the un crowned queen of purity and temper ance. " The Houee ordered an aye and no vote on the previous question to consider a resolution from the comm'ittee on rules to disagree to the Senate amendments to the statehood bill and aek for a confer ence. The previous question was ordered, 360 to 127, a strict party vote. In discussing the resolution. Dalzell (Rep., Pa.), who offered it. said that If legislation was to be had at all, it was necessary at this late day to have the Mil go to conference as epeedily as pos sible. De Armond (Dem., Mo.) protested against cutting off an opportunity for the House to express Its own mln'd. Lloyd (Dem.. Mo.) charged that 25 Republicans who wore in sympathy with the Democrats on the statehood question had been co erced by rules and leadership. Powers (Rep., Me.) eaid he was not aware that there were 35 Republican re calcitrants or that Lloyd was designated to present a statement of their wrongs. Democrats Fire at Cannon. The rule likewise was criticised by Will iams (Dem., Miss.), who said that both New Mexico and Arizona desired separate statehood. "I challenge the gentlemen now. I dare the majority of this House to let v-t have a veto on that question," he c-iM. Referring to the so-called Republican recalcitrants, who had been whipped Into line, Williams referred to them as "blan ket Indians." He said that if they had been let alone and not been bound In writing hand and foot, the minority plus those men would have been able to adopt the amendment as to New Mexico. He provokeorlaughter when he compared the Speaker with a noted Indian chief named, "Old Man Afraid of His People," and said the Speaker would go down in history as "Old Man Afraid of His Majority." Grosvenor (Rep., O.), delivered some parcastic remarks regarding the futility of "following a minority of the House fiat was growipg smaller by degrees and visibly less." The resolution was adopted, 161 to 127, McLachlan (Rep., Cal.) voting with the Democrats In opposition. The Speaker announced as the House, ronferees, Hamilton (Rep., Mich.), Pow ers (Rep., Me.), and Money (Dem., Tenn.), and the House then resumed considera tion of the naval appropriation bill. t 4 P. M. the bill was laid aside, and exercises were begun for the reception from the state of Illinois of the statue of Frances B. Willard. The proceedings were opened by the reading of a letter from Governor Deneen. of Illinois, pre senting the statue to the United States. Mr. Foss (III.') offered a resolution of ac ceptance. Speeches extolling the life and deeds of Miss Willard were delivered by Representatives Foss, Graff. Ralney of Illinois and Littlefield of Maine. Eulogy of a Noble Woman. Mr. Rainey said that until today no ytate had contributed to Statuary Hall the statue of a woman. He continued, in p;irt. as follows? tt'hn the act was pass?d which established this Hal! of Fame, men were winning the right to a place here upon the fleW of battle, at the head of crushing squadrons of cavalry, or di recting the movement of long lines nf infantry amid the roar of cannon and all the din f war. But the real battle which made this a Nation, one and Indivisible, was fought and Mon after the surrender at Appomattox. The rral victory was won long after the green praps was growing and the flowers wore bloom ing upon the graves of tho men who fell In iMs. tho greatest Civil War the world ever ww. It was a victory won in a battle -waged bj men and women of the South, landing ouldr to shoulder, with men and women of North a. peaceful struggle to quench the flr- of pactional hate and antagonism. It was at this time that there came out of the North a new leader not a leader of armed men, but a leader of unarmed women, a woman of supreme capacity, mental atid moral and phjplcal. Illinois today presents her ptatue, t squlrttely carved out of the whitest of Car tara. marble, to the Nation an her contribution to tills great Hall of Fame. In tle years which followed the war one of the forces mot potent to sweep away the mists and let In th sunlight, upon North and South alike, was the army of women led by Frances E. Willard. marching through the North and South following the white banners upon which s-he had inscribed the motto, "For God and Home and Native land." In the dark days which followed the war fhe fur nished the common ground upon which all could .dand, whether they lived under bright kl where the magnolia blooms, or under graer skies in the colder North. She led the fight for the home, for persona! purity, far better habits of living, for the rights of children, for the uplifting of women. With chains of gold, stretching across the folt which divided the sections, she bound together the homes of the North and the hornet of the South until the dividing chasm disap peared, and a mighty Nation moves forward under one banner with rosletless force to the tremendous destiny prepared for it by the omnipotent God. If peace hath Its victory. It is peculiarly appropriate that Miss Wlllard'o i-tatue should ntand here under this dome. In the state which produced a Lincoln, a Douglas and a Logan, we consider her one of our greatest citizens. At the conclusion of Mr. Ralney's re marks the resolution of acceptance was adopted and the House adjourned until tomorrow. SENATE PROMPTLY BACKS DOWN Withdraws Wheat Drawback Amend ment Debate on Swayne Case. WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-The Senate to day parsed a bill appropriating $9,940,000 for the District of Columbia, and the dip lomatic and consular appropriation bill, carrying J2.15G.000. The District bill has bYen before the Senate for several days. The diplomatic bill received the attention of the Senate for nearly 12 minutes and passed without discussion. A special feat ure of the day was the acceptance of the statue of Frances EX Willard, which has "been placed In Statuary Hall by the State of Illinois. This is the first statue of -a woman to find a place there. One witness was heard during the day in the Swayne trial, and an hour was spent In secret session in an effort to determine the ad missibility as evidence of Judge Swayne's statement before a committee of the House. The Senate terminated Its contro versy with the Houee over the amendment construing the provision In the Dingley law relative to the drawback on imported wheat by receding from the amendment Inserted In the agricultural appropriation bill as It passed the House. The Senate convened at 11 o'clock be hind closed doors. The question of the admissibility in the impeachment proceed ings of Judge Swayne's testimony before the House committee was still under con sideration, and Clarke (Ark.), who had the floor at the close of yesterday's session, resumed his argument in sCpport of ad mission. Culberson opposed admission on the ground that the proceeding Is in the na ture of criminal prosecution, and comes within the class of tribunals from the proceedings of which Congress meant to protect witnesses before its commit tees. Without deciding the point, the Senate doors were opened at 12 o'clock, and legislation proceeded". As soon as the doors were opened the Clerk of the House appeared with the resolution of the House of Representatives returning the agri cultural bill, because of the objection of the House to the Senate amendment, con struing the provision of the Dingley law as imposing a duty kon wheat. Hansbrough offered a motion that the Senate recede from Its position in the amendment affecting the tariff which was placed on the agricultural appropriation bill. .This means that the Senate will yield to the House, that understanding having been reached among Senators.

C, tells some unpleasant truths in explaining why the average American hoy ought not to go into the Army as a West Pointer. ALL THE NEWS AND THE CUSTOMARY DEPARTMENTS. Hansbrough is the author of the Senate amendments. Patterson asserted that the opinion giv en on the rebate on wheat by Attorney General Moody was "in the face and teth of the law." He added: "I protest against any action by any executive offi cial which for the benefit of any trust changes or repeals a law." Morgan was of the opinion that the House had entirely transcended Its au thority under the Constitution, adding that the body had no right to send the bill back as It had done. Spooner defended the action of the House on the ground that the Senate had exceeded its prerogatives. He charac terized the House protest as respectful and dignified, and expressed the hope that the Senate woilld meet it in the same spirit. Bacpn. Teller and Money concurred In Spooncr's views. The vote by which the agricultural bill was passed was then reconsidered, the amondment stricken out, and the bill again passed. Consideration of the bill making ap propriation for the government of the District of Columbia was resumed. The cost of the proposed municipal building for the City of Washington was Increased from 52.O0O.OO0 to $2,500,000. The bill was then passed. Immediately after the passage of the District bill, the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was called up and passed. The bill carries almost $2,000,000. At 2 o'clock the impeachment proceed ings against Judge Charles Swayne were resumed. An hour later the Swayne case was suspended and the ceremonies be gan accepting the statue of Miss Frances E. Willard. which had been placed In Statuary Hall. In the Capitol, by the Stale of Illinois. The galleries were crowded with ladles, and they gave most respectful attention to the proceedings. Addre?es eulogistic of Miss Willard were made by Sentore Cuilom. Beveridge, Dol liver and Hopkins. At the close of the ceremony the Senate adjourned until .to morrow. HE WANTS MORE BATTLESHIPS President Asks Congress to Increase Naval Appropriation. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. Several mem bers of both the Senate and House of Representatives today discussed with the President the naval appropriation bill. The President told all his- callers that he hoped Congress would provide in the bill for three battleships instead of two, as the measure now stands, saying he thought it unfortunate not to carry Into effect the programme for the building up of the new Navy and retrenchments might better be made on qther depart ments than on the naval establishment. The Navy Department has decided to forego the usual Winter maneuvers of the combined fleets In the Caribbean Sea this year in order to allow the ships to perfect themselves In the use of the new signal code.

This statement wa3 presented today to the subcommittee of the House committee on Interstate and foreign' commerce, charged with an investigation of the af fairs of this cop any. Other information developed at the hearing was the fact that the members of the Panama Canal Commission, who have been elected directors in the com- pany. receive the regular compensation of other directors, namely. $25 for attendance on the bi-monthly board meetings and Commissioner Parsons $10 for attending the bi-weekly meetings of thcV-xecutlve committee. Each ono of these directors and commissioners is credited with one share of stock on the company's books and draws the dividends declared on the same. Admiral Walker, chairman of the commission. Is credited with 100 shares of the stock on the books of the company. The investigation today was participa ted In by the full committee, and Director V. H. Brown and Vice-President E. A. Drake were examined. William Nelson Cromwell, general counsel for the com pany, was present. A feature of the ses sion was the questioning of Mr. Brown by Chairman Hepburn, of the 'committee. "What Is the total maintenance of tho New York office." he asked. "I should say it was less than $100,000 a year." replied Mr. Brown. After he had replied that he drew no salary, Mr. Brown said: "I have a compensation of $10 upon at tending the meetings twice a week of the executive committee, and $25 upon attend ing tho meetings twice a month of tho board of directors." "Then there are 24 and 101 meetings a year to bo attended. Are these meetings pretty generally full?" "Reasonably well attended." "What other salaries are there?" "The president's salary Is $10,000, and the vice-president has a salary of about $6000. There ar salaries for a secretary, an auditor, a traffic manager, purchasing agents, and various others." "Can you tell what they aggregate?" "I cannot." "Is It not true that the expense account paid by the Panama Railroad Company last year in the City of New York for its business there aggregated about $Xw,vwOr "I could not Answer that." "What was the gross amount of fees (you call them fees) received by you from the Panama Railroad Company last year?" "Something less than or about $10,000." "How manj directors and members of the executive committee are there?" "There are five members of the execu tive committee and 13 members of the ex ecutive board." Mr. Brown was allowed to give way on the stand to Vice-President Drake, who was questioned by members of (he sub committee at length ns to details of the bookkeeping of the company. The last statement made by Mr. Drake was that Admiral Walker had bought 100 shares of the stock of the company and that each of the other commissioner directors was credited with one share and each received the dividends on his stock. The Investigation will be continued. In the morning. Referring to Vice-President Drake's testimony Admiral Walker said: None of the members of this commission holds stock In the Panama Railroad person ally, but they do officially as members of the board of director, and only In their official capacity. In order to enable them to be legal members of the board of directors, the stock had to stand in their names, and the one divi dend that has been paid to them has been In dorsed over to the treasury. I hold stock In dividually, because I bought It as chairman of the commission, and by direction of the Sec retary of War. tmi it etanda In my name. I bought 101 shares of the stock and gave out six shares to other members of the commis sion In order to qualify them legally for di rectors. Consequently. 65 shares' of stock stand In my name. None of-the clock Is held by members of the commission, except in their official capacity. BEFOBtf GOES ON. (Continued from. First Page.) to St. Petersburg and placed In the Ro manoff mausoleum In the great Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul Inside the fortress. The tragedy was the sole topic of con versation at the clubs and hotels last night, newspaper extras early in the even ing having spread the news throughout St. Petersburg. The story is going the rounds that Grand Duke Sergius himself at the last moment, finding the tide against him, was, won over to the plan of summoning the Zemsky Sobor, and that he sent a mes senger to Emperor Nicholas, outlining his views as to the composition of tho body. It Is added that the messenger arrived at almost the same time"" hat the bomb was thrown in Moscow. According to Ser gius plan,, it was proposed that each province should have six' representatives in the convention, two each of nobles, merchants and peasants.

Fought Hard for His Convictions Liberals Flock to Terrorists. LONDON, Feb. 17. The correspondent at St. Petersburg of the Dally Telegraph asserts that the acting Minister 6f Jus tice, on hearing of the news of the assas sination of Grand Duke Sergius, ex claimed: "In truth Russia Is In full revolution. "What will happen next?" The correspondent adds an Interesting appreciation of the Grand Duke, in the course of which he says: "It must be admitted that Sergius was perfectly consistent and that his career was rounded and complete. Orthodoxy and autocracy were inscribed on his ban ner and he fought hard for them to the bitter end. His manner, though sug gestive of hauteur, waB extremely ami able; but one could well conceive him capable of those unjustifiable sallies of coarseness, criticism and cruelty which have been associated with his name and were causes of his death. His Influence over the Emperor emanated partly from hi? own self-confidence and a seemingly unselfish interest for the autocracy and partly also from his wife. "I learn tonight that a short Imperial manifesto will be issued tomorrow, but that It will deal only with the death of Sergius. I am further Informed that the revolutionist groups have received a great accession of rtrength from Liberals who hitherto have favored a constitutional propaganda: that they have come Into possession of large funds and are deter mined to adopt extreme measures which they believe will not be severely con demned by public opinion. The authori ties are aware of these preparations and are making many arrests, beside taking other measures of precaution." MANIFESTO BY THE CZAR.

For G IHE WINNING STROKE j If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in anyway, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRDP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy t is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle.
