Rate Bill.

DAY'S WORK IX THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON. June 5. The Sen
ate today passed the naval appropri
ation bill and also save consider
able attention to the conference re
port on the railroad rate bill. The
only Important amendment to the
naval bill requires the Secretary of
the Navy to submit plans for the
proposed big warship to Congress
before proceeding with its construc
tion. The bill carries an appropria
tion of 10a.llT,G70.
There Is no doubt that the rate
bill will be sent back to conference.
Tillman admitted that some of the
changes made In conference cannot
be Justified under the rules, but said
that they had been necessary In 'or
der to make the bill harmonious.
Foraker criticized the change In the
anti-pass provision. the addition
compelling connections with lateral
lines and the omission of the provis
ion regarding "Jim Crow" cars.
Discussion ol the report will continue.
"WASHINGTON, Juno 5. During the
consideration today of the conference re
port of the railroad rate bill, Foraker in
dicated a purpose to insist upon an ex
planation of the change made by the con
ferees In including lateral or branch linea
among those upon whose request com
mon carriers shall be required to put in
switches or switch connections.
Tillman had explained the amendments
on which he thought It possible points
of order could be made, because of the
presence of new matter, but had not in
cluded the amendment in question. When
Tillman expressed the opinion that the
conferees had not transgressed their au
thority in this matter the Ohio Senator
dissented, saying; the suggestion had been
made in the Senate, and had been voted
down, and that it was clearly new matter.
He therefore thought that the Senate
should be told why the change had been
made.
Tyranny of Trunk Lines.
Tillman replied that it was because of
the "tyrannical and outrageous conduct
of the trunk lines in such cases as that
of the Red Rock Company In "West Vir
ginia." He expressed the opinion that
the only conference change against which
a point of order will lie is that extending
for o days the time when the rate bill
shall go into operation. That, he con
ceded, la clearly out of order.
The report was then temporarily laid
aside, and the Senate took up and passed
the naval appropriation bill.
Want Passes for Employes.
Returning aga4n to the railroad rate
bill, Foraker criticised the conferees on
account of the new matter, saying that
the conferees were not legislators, but
mere Intermediaries. He also objected to
the change in the anti-pass provision,
making especial complaint of the elimi
nation of railroad employes from the priv
ilege of free transportation.
Tillman replied that the change had
been made at the suggestion of the con
ference members of the House. He prom
ised to do the best possible if the bill
should be sent back. "1 don't know what
we can accomplish," he said, "for there
are some hard-headed men in the House
as well as in the Senate."
"Jim Crow" Car 8 Again.
Foraker found fault with the amend
ment prohibiting discrimination for or
against passengers on account of color.
He said several negroes had complained
of the provisions as a recognition of the
"Jim Crow" law of the South, but that
such had not been the Intention, the only
purpose being to secure proper treatment
for all where the "Jim Crow" system
prevailed.
Bailey of Texas and Bacon of Georgia
denied that any discrimination is prac
ticed In their respective states.
Ualllnger criticized the provision fixing
the salary of the secretary of the Inter
slate Commerce Commission as new leg
islation, and said that Mr. Moscley, the
present secretary, had tried to make it
appear that he (the Senator) had spoken
of him (Moseley) as an anarchist and
that such was not the case. He had.
however, said that the secretary would be
better off If he would give attention to
his office and cease trying to influence
legislation.
The matter -was still under considera
tion when the Senate adjourned.
Chinese Refugees Sent Home.
SAN FRANCISCO, June i. Nearly
250 refugee Chinese Were sent home
at the expense of the Chinese govern
ment on the Japanese Hongkong Maru,
which sailed today for the Orient.
The Chinese lost heavily In. the nre,
and as there is no immediate prospect
of their being permanently located in
this city, they expressed a desire to
return to their native land.
The Chinese Consul General in this
city sent word to Pekln of the condi
tions here, and in reply received word
that the government had appropriated
money for the transportation of all
Chinese In California who were desir
ous of leaving. The liner Korea,
which sails on July 12, will carry a
large number of returning Celestials.
Relief Fund at Phelan's Order.
NEW YORK, June 6. Concerning the
reported need of money by the committee
in charge of the relief work for San
Francisco, this statement was made today
by the Secretary of the New York Cham
ber of Commerce:
"When James D. Phelan, chairman of
the San Francisco relief committee, wants
any part of the funds 'collected by the
New York Chamber of Commerce, he can
have it. The money Is awaiting his order
for telegraphic transfer. Thus far he has
not asked for any part of the fund."
J. P. Morgan, Jr., is treasurer of the
Chamber's relief fund, which now
amounts to jTSO.OOO.

PEAKING OF CITIZENS
House Passes Bill to Regulate
Naturalization.
SPEAKER HASTENS ACTION
Bureau Will Keep Record of All Nat
uralizations New Citizens Must
Speak English and Give No
tice of Application.
WASHINGTON, June 5. In many par
ticulars today was a "red letter" day in
the House, not only ..in the , number of
bills passed, but In the general character
of the legislation enacted. What bids
fair to cause endless trouble, the naturali
zation bill, was passed under suspension
of the rules, the Speaker and the gentle
man in charge of the bill, Bonynge, of
Colorado, doing team work of a superior
kind.
The House refused to pass a bill leas
ing to a private firm or corporation the
right to mine coal on the Island of Batan,
in the Philippine group, although it was
stated that such a lease would decrease
the amount paid by the Government for
coal very considerably.
For two hours the House worked under
suspension of the rules The rest of the
dny was taken up with the passage of
bills by unanimous, consent.
NATURALIZATION BILL PASSED
Speaker Help9 Bonynge to Railroad
It Through House.
WASHINGTON, June ft By clever tac
tics Bonynge. of Colorado, in. charge of
the naturalization bill, and with the as
sistance of a friendly Speaker, had the
measure establishing a Bureau of Immi
gration and Naturalization throughout
the United States read in the time set
apart for the passage of bills under sus
pension of the rules in the House today.
The move surprised Cockran, of New
York, who began filibustering against its
consideration. He made a point of order
against the bill on the ground that it
could not be considered under suspension
of the rules. The Speaker overruled the
point and on an appeal was sustained,
155 to 37.
The bill was debated for 40 minutes, and
after two amendments had been agreed
to, unanimously was passed. An amend
ment was adopted providing that the re
quirements of section 9 shall not apply to
aliens who shall hereafter declare their
Intention to become citizens and who
shall make homestead entries upon the
public land of. the United States and
comply In all respects with the laws pro
viding for homestead entries.
The bill provides for a Bureau of Natur
alization at Washington, which shall fur
nish all blanks for use and keep a record
of all naturalisations. It requires an
applicant to file a petition for naturaliza
tion 90 days before it is acted upon by a
court. It prohibits any naturalization 30
days before any general election. It au
thorizes the United States District Attor
ney to appear and cross-examine appli
cants and witnesses. It adds the addi
tional qualifications that applicants must
be able to speak English before receiving
final papers and they must swear that
they intend to reside permanently in the
United States. It also provides a pro
cedure for the cancellation of fraudulent
certificates.
ADOPTS NEW TUCK

WASHINGTON, June 5. The galleries

largely in the majority and watching
with much Interest the labors of the

If We Had Right Kind of Citizens.
GLASGOW, June 5. The visiting
representatives of the American Civic
Federation. in examination of the
gas enterprises of the city, said
comparison" was impossible with the
American method, where the coke used is
much superior to the kind used in Glas
gow. Mr. Ingalls said he had been much
impressed with the success of municipal
ownership in Glasgow, and thought the
same results could be achieved in Ameri
ca if the right kind of citizens would
enter public life. He said:
"We have the right kind of citizens,
but they all seem to be too busy to take
part in the affairs of city government."
Of the undertakings he had seen in
Glasgow he put the tramways easily first,
then the gas supply, and, last, the electri
cal supply system.
Liquor Association Declares
for Temperance.
DRUNKENNESS A CRIME
Condemns Prohibition as Un-American,
But Favors Enforcement of
Laws and Conducting Saloons
on a Higher Plane.
LOUISVILLE, June 5. The National
Liquor-Dealers' Association, which opened
Us annual convention here today, issued
an address to the poople of the United
States, in which the belief of its members
in temperance is expressed; obedience to
the law is indorsed; the work of the
various temperance societies Is com
mended and the statement made that in
toxication should be considered a crime.
The address says in part:
Prohibition Not Effective.
. From time to time during- the past 75 or
100 years, waves of public sentiment antago
nistic to the manufacture and sale of wine
and spirits and other alcoholic beverages have
passed over this country, leaving In their
train state, county and- municipal legislation
of a more or less drastic character, legislation
entirely out of sympathy with the spirit of
American Institutions, legislation that was
bound to fall in practically every instance,
and this because the sentiment that compelled
It was engendered by agitation and totally
unripe for its enforcement.
Experience has shown that, when a man
votes for prohibition, it is invariably for the
benefit of others and not for himself, for no
man seems to really believe that society can
order his life more wisely than he can order
it, and for this reason all prohibitory taws,
be they passed by the people of Maine or of
Kansas or of Iowa, have In each and every
case become dead letters, demoralizing to or
der, destructive of revenue and at war with
common sense and good citizenship.
The "White Ribbon movement, the Blue Rib
bon movement, the Prohibition movement and
the Anti-Saloon League movement were, or
are, protests upon the part of good men and
women against two of the greatest evils con
nected with our civilisation drunkenness
and those saloons which are conducted in a
disreputable manner or else in such a way
as to demoralize rather than to elevate those
who patronize them and we. the delegates to
this convention of the wine and spirit trade,
desire toy express our entire sympathy with
the efforts that have been put forth to ex
terminate the evils and our willingness to
lend co-operation and assistance.
Make Saloons Respectable.
We believe that wines and spirits are bless
ings Intended by an all-wise Providence to
bring health and happiness to mankind.
We believe that the legitimate manufacture
and sale of wines and spirits is an honorable
trade and one that should be respected by
society and the laws.
We believe that the saloon and cafe should
be so conducted that men would not hesitate
to visit them accompanied by their wives and
children, and that the atmosphere of such
places should be beneficial to both mind and
body.
CAMPAIGN TO DEFEND BEER.
Brewers' Convention Will Fight
Anti-Saloon League.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.." June 6. Plans
will be laid at the meeting of the United
States Brewers' Association, which will
convene here tomorrow morning, to enter
upon a campaign of education to combat
the movement against saloons and the
sale of beer. A circular letter was dis
tributed tonight declaring it to be time
for the brewers to make a determined
effort to overcome the opposition of the
Anti-Saloon League.
The convention will also urge upon Con
gress the pure-food law. Prominent mem
bers of the association tonight said that
the brewers are heartily In favor of pure
food legislation and are ready to help
push measures which will insure rigid
Inspection of all food products.
Denver Wants Big Conventions.
DENVER, June S. A movement was
launched yesterday at a meeting of the
Denver Convention League to bring both
great National conventions to . this city
two years hence. Especial effort will be
made to secure the Democratic Conven
tion, but an Invitation will be extended
to both conventions. It was agreed that
at a meeting to be held in the near future,
Judga John I. Mullins, Democratic com
mitteeman for Colorado, and Hon. A. M.
Stevenson, Republican committeeman for
this state, will be officially notified of the
Invitation of the league, and both shall be
asked to use every effort to bring the con
ventions here.
GALLS GRAND JURY
Denver Judge Will Probe Elec
.' tion Frauds.
CANNOT TRUST OFFICIALS
WIN Appoint Special Men to Procure
and Submit Evidence Party
Chairmen and Othera De
clared In Contempt.
DENVER, June 5 Judge John I. Mul
lins, in the criminal division of the Dis
trict Court, this afternoon granted the
petition of the Honest Election League
for the calling of a grand Jury to investi
gate the alleged frauds perpetrated by
Denver public utility corporations in the
interests of certain franchises at the elec
tion held on May 15 last.
District Attorney George Stidger, Sheriff
Alexander and Coroner Robert P. Collins
are removed from office so far as the
grand jury is concerned, and other men
will be appointed in their stead.
Party Chairmen in Contempt.
F. A. Williams, chairman of the Re
publican City Central Committee; W. T.
Davoren, chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee, and J. W. Brady,
clerk of the Gas Company, who defied the
court and refused to testify, have been
declared in contempt of court and will
appear in court tomorrow morning to re
ceive sentence. At the same time the
Judge will announce the elisors who will
summon' the grand jury.
Officials Not Trustworthy.
The court also expressed the belief that
the character of the testimony which was
offered during the hearing of the peti
tion was sufficient to convince any court
that the Sheriff and the Coroner of the
city and county were not the proper per
sons to assist in callng such a jury and
that the . District Attorney was not the
proper person to lay before the Jury the
matters to be Investigated. The very na
ture of the testimony, the court seemed
to think, indicated that a bold conspiracy
had been entered Into by the corporation
heads, who were likewise the heads of
the poltlcal party with which the three
officials were closely Interested.-
Judge Mullins seemed to be of the opin
ion also that the usefulness of the grand
jury would be increased with special of
ficers for the jury, whose attitude toward
the interests to be Investigated could not
be questioned and who would be abso
lutely unprejudiced one way or the other.
PASSES SEATTLE CANAL
House Allows Moore to Dig Ditch
Into Lake Washington.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June S. Representative Jones to
day secured the passage through the
House of the Senate bill authorizing
James A. Moore, of Seattle, to build a
ship canal connecting Lake Washington
with Pugct Sound. The bill now goes
to the President for signature.
Under its terms Mr. Moore must begin
construction within one year and com
plete it In four years and, when the canal
Is completed, must operate it as a public
waterway for three years. The Govern
ment reserves the right to accept the
property at that time free of cost and it

cafrbe opened for traffic within three
years.
