Senator Fulton will fight Senator Bourne's candidate for Portland's postmaster, John C Young. A report printed here that "the delegation" filed protests with Chairman Penrose of the senate postofflce committee proves to be Inaccurate. Only Fulton asked that the nomination be held up, Hawley and Kills not being parties to the protest. Ellis, in whose district Fort land is, said: "I have taken no part in the controversy, regarding it as a personal appointment of Bourne's,' as Portland is his home town."? . Washington, D. C. Dec. 12. Speaker Cannon's right to cast his vote after having announced the result of a roll call on a bill was challenged In the house today. There had been an all afternoon fight Over a bill by Shirley, Democrat, of Kentucky, for the protection of aliens under their treaty rights. The bill pro vides that if two or more persons con spire to oppress an alien in the enjoy ment of the rights . assured him by treaty he shall be subject to a maximum punishment of $5000 fine and 10 years' imprisonment. Most of the debate hinged on the question whether the bill would apply to members of boards of education, as in San Francisco, who might deny alien children the right to attend the public schools. Some of the mcmberi Insisted that it would not, and others that it would apply. ' On a roll call the bill was apparently passed by a vote of 160 to S9-. A recapitulation was demanded, and this showed a tie vote of 100 each way. Cannon announced his vote in the af firmative-. - De Armond. Democrat, of Missouri. Insisted that the speaker, Irke any other member, had to vote during the roll call. Speaker Cannon quoted precedents and decided the question in his own favor. De Armond demanded an appeal from the decision, but Jen kins, Republican, of Wisconsin, moved to adjourn, and his motion was carried. A Coal Baron's Job Spoiled. An interesting contest was also waged In the house over a senate resolution to reestablish the boundaries between Colorado, Oklahoma and New Mexico. A well organized effort to defeat the res olution was apparent on the floor, but it weakened when Cook, Republican, of Colorado, declared that the killing Of the bill would relieve a large Colo rado coal company from' the payment of taxes on coal lands lying in the dis puted boundary zone. The resolution was adopted after a long debate. The Townsend arbitration bill, providing for a government commission to Investigate strikes involving interstate commerce and the United States mails was defeat ed by a vote of 111 to 02. House Passes Two Bills. The passage of two bills of import ance la the sum of the first week's work of the house, outside of today's proceedings. A Dill to provme for the taking of the next census was passed, and the main question involved, whether ertiDlovea should be selected aa a result of com petitive or non-competitive examina tions, wan decided in favor of the non competitive. The other measure was the bill mak ing; appropriations for the executive. legislative and judicial branches of the government. Despite the demand for economy, the bill carried $31,667,820 which was S34.00O in excess of last year s bill. Senate's Program Next Week. The fixed events for next week In the house are matters relating to the jjistrict or Columbia, to he considered on Alonday, and pension bills on Thurs day. Of course, if the select commit tee appointed to frame up a rebuke to the president lor tne disagreeable lar. guage used In his annual message should complete its report, tne discus sion on that document will be the star event, The present plan is to adjourn next Saturday for the Christmas holidays. Ho Legislation Tet in Senate. In the senate the first week of the session passed very quietly. The daily meetings were of brief duration, and on Thursday a recess was taken to Monday of next week. No business of lMislatlve character was attemDted. The senate is waiting for the house to end over some of the Dig annual ap propriation bills, and the first one of these that providing for the salaries of legislative, executive ana juaicmi de partments of the government will ar rive Monday. A good deal of executive work was accomplished this week in the senate. Five treaties were ratified, and a large number of presidential nominations. most of them Deing minor promotions in the navy, were acted upon favorably. Some Nominations Held TTp. There were some nominations which did not fare too well. Among them are 4 those of John E. Stater, to be judge or the southern district of Ohio, 18 post masters in Ohio, the members of the American commissjon to the Tokio ex position, headed by Francis E. Loomts. and John C. Young, to be postmaster at Portland. Or. All these have been held up. and are unlikely to secure confirma tion for some time. . The Ohio nominations will be held In abeyance by Senators Foraker and Dick, pending the settlement of the succes sion to the senatorial seat held by the former. ' . .
