THE MORXIXG ORECOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1906.
SPEAKER CANNON
CRACKS
IP
Congress Must Finish Its
Work, He Says, Before
It Can Adjourn.
THREE BILLS ARE HELD UP
Friday Will Be the Last Day, Say
Members. Jf Conferees Make
Vp Their Minds to Ac
cept the Situation.
WASHINGTON. June 26. Congress will
tay tn session until Its work Is finished.
This Is the dictum of Speaker Cannon
and his lieutenants, and is being empha
sized at this time to counteract any Im
pression that the pure-food bill, at least,
micht go over until the next session.
There is also trouble on the meat-inspec.
tion bill, and the "tie-up" on the railroad
rate bill Indicates delay. The immigra
tion bill is also in conference, as are sev
eral of the appropriation bills. All of
these things must be worked out without
any date of adjournment being set, ac
cording to the decision of the House lead
ers. When the work is done an adjourn
ment resolution will be forthcoming in
short order.
While the situation today spells delay
until next week, the work on the floor is
progressing. Members say there is no
need of prolonging the session beyond
Friday, if the conferees make up their
minds that the work must be done or that
agreements which will meet all demands
can be arranged on all matters before
that time, and that if the. idea of prolong
ing the session for the purpose of killing
certain bills Is abandoned, this week will
see the end.
DISAGREE OX MEAT INSPECTION
Conferees Discuss Taynicnt of In
spectors and Labeling of Cans.
WASHINGTON. June 28. The meat-inspection
amendment to the agricultural
bill probably will be returned to the Sen
ated and House as in disagreement. The
conferees twice had it under discussion
today, and the Indications are that the
differences In regard to the puyment for
inspection by the packers or by the Gov
ernment, or whether the date of Inspec
tion must be placed on cans of meat, are
irreconcilable. Another effort to get to
gether will be made at 10 o'clock tomor
row. A complete agreement was reached
on all other matters In the bill.
Practically all of the important amend
ments concerning the usual features of the
agricultural bill were accepted by the
House conferees. These amendments in
clude appropriations of $15,000 for the es
tablishment at points of export of labora
tories to examine and report upon the
nature, quality and condition of seed or
grain, to serve as a basis for the fixing
of definite grades; and $5000 for the In
vestigation of the' insect known as the
"white fly," which affects orange-growers.
Amendments were retained providing
that 10 per cent of all money received
from each forest reserve each year shall
be paid to the states or territories In
which the reserves are situated, to be ex
pended for the benefit of the public schools
and roads; also the amendment for an In
vestigation of the effect of cold-storage
upon the hnalthfulness of foods. An
amendment eliminated was that which
provided for an investigation of crops best
adapted to irrigated districts.
The Senate today granted the Houkp re
quest for a conference on the immigra
tion bill.
BACK AGAIX TO CONFERENCE
Two or Three Speeches Made on
Railroad Rate BUI.
WASHINGTON. June 2. After two or
three more speeches on the conference
report on the railroad rate bill, the Sen
ate today sent the bill back to conference,
again designating Senators Tillman, Elk
Ins and Cullom as conferees.
During the day the naval appropriation
bill, which has been tn conference for
several weeks, was finally passed, tho
Senate receding from Its amendment con
cerning the naval training station at Port
Royal. 3. C which was the only item re
maining in controversy. The most inter
esting Incident was a conflict over a mo
tion by Senator La Pollette to enter upon
the consideration of the hill limiting to
IS years the time railroad employes en
gaged in the movement of trains may be
employed consecutively.
There was great difficulty in securing a.
voting quorum, hut the requisite number
ultimately was obtained. Svvernl speeches
were made on the bill. The Senate ad
journed at 4:35 until 11 o'clock tomorrow.
DISCUSSIOX OF PIPE LINES.
IVcst Virginia. Owners Cannot Be In
cluded In Common-Carrier Class.
WASHINGTON, June 26. When the con
ference report on the railroad rate bill
was taken up in the Senate today, Sen
ator Klkins, who was one of the Senato
conferees, spoke on the amendment to the
commodity provision, using the word
"railroads" Instead of the phrase "com
mon carriers." He gave immediate at
tention to the contention that the change
has the effect Bf eliminating pipe lines
from the requirement of the bill. He said
that West Virginia Is the largest oil
producer in the Union, and that the great
er part of the oil is sold to the pipe line
owners, so that the owners transport
thoir own oil, and are not strictly speak
ing common carriers.
Senator Long spoke at some length on
the pipe line amendment, and in doing so
dealt with Kansas oil legislation. That
state had declared pipe lines common car
riers, as a means of hitting the Standard
Oil Company, but it had not had that
effect. There had been no effort in Kan
sas to prohibit the pipe lines from trans
porting their own products, because it waa
known that the effect would be disastrous
to the Independent producers.
The Senate later decided by an almost
unanimous vote not to accept the confer
ence report, and to insist further upon
Its amendment, Senators Tillman. Elkina
and Cullom being reappointed conferees.
The House acceded to the request of
the Senate for another conference on the
railroad rate bill immediately upon the
receipt of the Senate's request today.
Messrs. Hepburn, Sherman and Richard
son were appointed conferees.
Will Not Go to Panama.
WASHINGTON, June 26. By a vote
of six to four, the Senate committee
on interoceanlc canals today decided
not to go to the Isthmus of -Panama
and take testimony In the canal inves
tigation. By agreement no testimony
will be taken in Washington until next
session, and therefore the disposition
of William Nelson Cromwell's refusal
to testify concerning canal matters
prior to Government ownership of the
property will be postponed until next
December. The action of the commit
tee carries with it an adjournment un
til next December, which will post
pone action on the nominations of
Canal Commissioners. It is expected
the Commissioners will be reappointed
during the recess of Congress.
Nominations Sent to Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 26. the President
today sent to the Senate the following
nominations: Marshal, District of Idaho,
Ruel Rounds; Chief of Bureau of Insular
Affairs, Colonel Clarence O.-Edwards: to
be placed on the retired list. Colonel John
Pitman, Ordnance Department, with rank
of Brigadier.
Time Fixed for Stock In Transit.
WASHINGTON. June 26. The House to
day pasfjed the Senate bill which repeals
the so-called 28-hour law by fixing the
maximum of time in transit for stock at
36 hours, upon the written request of the
owner or party in charge of the particular
shipment. r
Mexican Treaty Ratified.
WASHINGTON, June 26. The Senate In
executive session today ratified the treaty
with Mexico concerning the division of
the waters o? the Rio Grande for irriga
tion purposes.

TARIFF DEBATE IX HOUSE,
Lloyd Concludes With Reference to
Campaign Contributions.
WASHINGTON, June 26. Although, a
strong effort was made today to put off
general debate on the general deficiency
bill, the last of the great supply bills,
after Littauer had briefly explained its
provisions, Lloyd of Missouri was allowed
an hour to discuss the tariff. He con
cluded with a reference to campaign con
tributions in 1836 to the Republican party
from the Insurance companies.
"With a Cabinet officer at the head of
the Republican National Committee re
ceiving this fund and distributing it," he
said. "Is it any wonder the President has
ceased talking of publicity of campaign
receipts and expenses?"
General debate having been concluded,
the bill was read under the five-minute
rule. Webb of North Carolina made a
point of order against the appropriation
of $20,000 in full settlement of the German
claims for losses incurred in connection
with the disturbance in Samoa in 1899.
The point of order was overruled and the
item remained in the bill.
The rent of the old Custom-House in
New York again showed itself in the gen
eral deficiency bill in a provision for the
current year. Sulzer of New York made
a point of order against the item, which
was overruled. Sulzer asked how much
the Republicans expected to get out of
the amount for the forthcoming campaign.
"Not as much as you people will get out
of., it," replied Tawney.
A provision was inserted in the bill di
recting the officials of the . Territory of
Oklahoma to continue the maintenance of
all public institutions and execute all ex
isting contracts until the new state gov
ernment shall have been established.
Hull of Iowa offered an amendment ap
propriating 110,000 to reimburse officers
and enlisted men of the Army who were
on duty in San Francisco during the re
cent disaster, and who suffered losses of
clothing and other personal effects. Lit
tauer made a point of order against the
amendment. The chair sustained the
point. The general deficiency bill was laid
aside, and the House at 6 o'clock took a
recess for two hours.
