CONGRESSIONAL STRATEGY
How the House Gained Its Desired i
Convention for Extension of For
eign Commerce Holds Import
ant Business Session.
WASHINGTON. Jan.-If a Mil In
troduce J in the House this v,'k lv
Representative Sluirtel of Miss, uri,
acted upon favorably, lVur McMillan
of l'lerce City, Mo., will In- the riehe'
by $:,00O.0O0. The bill calls upon t.ie
Secretary of the Treasury to pay that
sum to Mr. McMillan In settlement of
the claim he has tiled iicalnst the sp--ernnient
for royalties for the use of
an Invention. Some years ago th
Mls-vurian patented a device for lock
ing urmor plate to warships by means
of a key or keys. The United Stat
Navy has utilized this method in put
ting armor on the U. S. S. Oregon and
every battleship and armored eruisr
built since then is said to have had
her plates fitted with the McMillan
patent. Not only the navy of this
country has adopted the device, but
the battleships of the Japanese anl
Russian navies also are said to have
taken It up. There does not sen
to be any question as to the validity
of Mr. McMBillan's claim, but it is
doubtful if the Shartel measure will
pass at this session because of the rush
of business.
In studying strategy, the military es
tablishment of the United States might
well send their officers to the Capital
After spirited debates in both the
House and Senate, members of Cln
gess refused to vote themselves more
salary and bills carrying the increases
were Wiled amidst an air cf general
gloom, for which each member m
deavered to evade responsibility. None
of them desired to go on record as
championing an increase for fear of
the effet It would have upon their cm
stituents at home. Representative
Llttauer cf New York has appeared as
the Moses to lead the halting ho?.U
out of the political land of Egypt. By
the introduction of an innocent aul
simply worded amendment placed in
the legislation appropriation bill par
sed by the House this week, he has
provided that -.ach member of Con
gress shall receive a salary of $7,500 1
year after March 4. instead of the $5.-
000 he now receives. In addition, th -i
salaries cf the vice presidents, speak- I
ers of the House, an l members of the j
. - : 1 1 -1 I'mrt i
cabinet are 10 oe tm.-i i ''
annually. All that remains now is the
concurrence of the Senate, and Sen
ator Cullon will move that this action
be taken by the upper chamber as soon
as th bill is presented there. It is
not at all unlikely that the Senate
will let the measure go through, anl
thus congressmen have effected by a
flank attack what they did not dare t
attempt by direct assault. It's hats .T
to the strategists in the Big House on
the Hill.
After a four days session, the most
Important business convention e'-'T
held In this country has ended its de
liberations here and adjourned. It
was the National Convention for the
Extension of the Foreign Commerce of
the United States, thirty-five states
were officially represented by delegat
es appointed by the governor of each,
and the total number of delegates pre
sent was clo-e to 1200, nearly 200 nat
ional trade organizations being repre
sented In this body of men. A great
number of topics touching on methods
for the upbuilding of th- country's
foreign commerce were discussed, and
among those embodied in resolutions
asking for legislation at the hands ot
Congress were the Introduction of a
reciprocity program in the shape of 0
maximum and minimum tariff, compen
sation to steamship lines for carrying
the malls, greater courtesy to Chinese
admitted to the country, uniform bills
of lading, and preservation of forejts
A very strong resoultlon was adopted,
urging on the national government,
the necessity for the improvement of
the waterways as a means of pro
viding extended transportation facili
ties and of regulating railroad abuses.
Many of the speeches In the conven
tion placed emphasis upon the impor
tance of maintaining undisturbed the
present economic methods of produc
tion, and regretJted the restrictions
that some States seem anxious to
place upon Industrial Interests. It was
pointed out most especially that it
could not hold In the fa.e of the en
aetment of thexe restrnlnliiK law A
huslncw t f the future, such as Is fro
elg" trade, It was contended, demands
pet inniu'ncy, oihl the only way in
which this eouutry can meet I he cheap
er labor iihioad Is by She rxotvlse of
eeonoml of production and disti'1
button, such as can be found only ii
largo combinations. President Schur
man of I'oinell. and ethers among th
speakers, descried the present anti
trust hysteria and d plon d the popu
lar dictum thai 'swollen fortunes are
stolen fortunes."
CongrcS" Is convinced that there s
no epidemic of the "sleeping sickness"
on !h i'oast. Although that sec'ion
of the ccitutry ha its own troubles
as witness the tloods In Washington
and tvgon and the oarthnuake an i
tiro In California; nevertheless the P
citlc Slope Is willing to help out ttv
aspiring la other sections of this iuigl.:.v
country. Senator Perkins of iillfr
nia this week presented a, 'tltlou
signed by citizens of San Oiego, Moun
tain View, I.os A: g les. and Clendaie
against Sunday closing In Washington
IX C The Senator did not a: temp' to
explain why there should be such Int
etest three thousand tulles away In .1
question that Is1 of purely local Import
to the District of Columbia. Almost
at th.- same time resolutions were pre
sented by the Chamber of Oomm, rc-
of Spokane. Wash., in favor of increas
ing the salaries of members of Cor
gre-s to Jf.OOO a year. These resolu
tions were sent by telegraph and w-'ie
referred to committee.
Senator Wiilard's request tor copies
of the engineers" reports on the bo--
iugs in the vicinity of the great dim
near Gatum, Is likely to stir up a
pretty fight again over the old ques
tion of the r latlve values of a lock
or sea-level canal at Panama. The
Senate CVmmi'.tee on Interoceunlc
Canals will discus the matter nit
week, and it is said that there Is con
clusive evidence that the foundation
on which this Immense pile of mason
ry is to rest Is not rock but common
mud, and that the dam cannot possi
bly stand the pressure of water that
it must resist. Investigation of h
mater threatens to revive the old squib
ble over the plan to be followed In dig
ging the Big Ditch.
Louis B. Boswell of Illinois, secre
tary of the Upper Mississippi River
Improvement Association, this we 'St
has been appearing before the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors In
an effort to secure from Congress an
annual appropriation for the improve,
ment of the rather of Waters from Its
mouth to Minneapolis. While prima
Mr. Bosu'ell's efforts are directed to
wards securing an appropriation fo'
the Mis issippi, h is an ardent :idv
cate of a widespread policy of dev!-
upinent of the waterways of the i-iuir
country. He Is being lent valu t'.1
support by Congr.-ssman P.amsdel! of
Loui-'iana, president of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress.
"Why should this great country, wl h
its vast area of rich land waiting only
to be tilled in order to yield great
quantities of grain and other produe's,
not dominate the world commercially,'
said Mr. Boswell. "We have the
brains, the land, and the capital, and
yet we stand by and let Germany make
great railroa is into the commerce f
the world which we should control;
This country can dominate the world
commercially, but we must improve
out waterways, just as Germany has
done. All the natural advantages aro
with us; we should riot waste them."
In the report of the Geological Sur
vey just issued, and covering the pro
duction of gold and silver In 1903,
general increase in all of the rnlnenl
States' is noted. In California, th-j
state's production of gold readied $19.
197,100, while the production of sil
ver was valued at $000.020 a decided
decrease traceable to the lessened out
put in Kern and Shasta Countie-o Colo
rada in that year showed a notewor
thy addition of more than one million
dollars to the' previous year's gold pro
duction, the total output aggregating
$25,701,100. The increased output i.i
credited to Teller, Gilpin and south
eastern Missouri 12,900 ounces of .sli
ver was extracted from the lead ore,
the valua of which Is fixed at $7,86't.
The Black Hills of South Dakota about
held their own, the total yield of gold
for the year being $6,913,900. WaU
Ington showed an Increase of $42, '0
In gold production, bringing the total
up to $370,000. In Increase was Ju?
mainly to mines in Stevens, Perry and
Whatcom counties. The gold produc
tion of Wyoming in 1905 was valu id
at $23,700-an increase over the pre
vious year of $7,300.
There was a decidedly heated deba'.
In the recent National Convention fir
the Extension of the Foreign Com
merce of the United States over tho
question of ship subsidy, which even-
luallv resulted In the endorsement of I
a inodllled form of subsidies for ws
ols in Iho shape of a p.'Mul suhvea
tlon. It 1 doubtful whether the slil -subsidy
measure will pas at this ses
sion of Congress, Otlo of the del gae
to the recent convention is hope'ul j
that something can bo done, and It Is
understood that tt conference on 'h
matter Is to be held' at the Homestead
Hotel at Mot Spring. Va., where
number of prominent business in 1
who have been attending the m'Vtln.,"
hole will spend u few days before iv
turning t their homes. As one men
her of the party expressed It. Just h
fore taking the C. & t. train for t!i
Virginia mountain resort. -It was al
together appropriate that they shonl I
seek a watering place In which to ill.
cus a question that had so much to
do with water."
Congress Is being bombarded with
requests from p rsons In high phic
to provide funds for the oonstt uctl m
of two great lighting crafts. Presi
dent Roosevelt In a letter address-I
to Chairman Koss of the Naval Coin
llllttee of the House, Iris urged In 'h '
strongest language the eeesll ' .r
building two big battleships and m
"adequate number" of submarine-.
Secretary Metcalf and Attorney r, ,i
oral Bonaparte, former Secretary of
the Navy, appeared this week before
the Committee and lent their strong
est endorsement to the President's r
commendations, Mr. Bonaparte de
clared that large battleships were '!
crying need of the Navy. Ju: win
action will be taken remains to V'
seen.
