DOINGS OF OUR NATIONAL
BODY OF LAWMAKERS
Saturday, Jan. 13.
Washington, Jan. 13. There were
nine speeches in the house today on
the Philippine tariff bill, consuming
nearly six and one-half hours. Three
of the speakers opposed the bill and
six favored it. Those who argued for
the measure were Gaines, of Tennessee,
Thomas, of North Carolina, who in
cluded a plea for the Southern farmer
and demanded reciprocity to benefit the
cotton-seed oil industry; Needham,
of California, Garrett, of Tennessee,
Gardner of Massachusetts and Scott, of
Kansas. The opponents of the measure
were Young, of Michigan, Loud, of
Minnesota, and Morris, of Nebraska.
The debate is to close Monday at 5
o'clock, the session to begin at 11 in
the morning.
Friday, Jan. 12.
Washington, Jan. 12. Interest was
Injected into the Philippine tariff de
bate in the house today by "Massachu
setts idea" tariff expressions by Mc
Call, of that state, by a character study
of,the Filipino by Longv.ortb, of Ohio,
and by a defense of President Roosevelt
by Pou, a Democrat from North Caro
lina. Besides these there were a num
ber of speeches delivered on the merits
of the bill, nearly all of which were in
oppisition to it.
I luring the day an agreement was
reached whereby the debate is to con
tinue fur two dayB more. The house is
to meet at 11 o'clock tomorrow and
Monday to close general debate at 5
o'clock. The measure will be taken up
for amendment under the five minute
rule Tuesdiay, and doubtless dibposed
cf on that day.
Thursday, January II.
Washington, Jan. 11. Before going
into executive session today, the senate
l'stened to a speech by Heyburn in
support of his bill creating a national
board for the control of corporations,
in which he denounced Wall street be
cause of its alleged interference with
the affairs of the country. He said
that when the "street" could not dic
tate the financial course of the govern
ment, it was ever ready, to threaten
disaster, and he pleaded for legislation
that would rob it of such power for
evil.
The remainder of the open session
was devoted to a discussion of the prac
tice of the senate of sending resolutions
to the calendar after they had been
under discussion. Bacon raised the
point of order that there was no rule
requiring such a course, and said his
Moroccan resolution had been improp
erly placed on the calendar. He also
contended that the resolution had not
had a day's discussion. The matter
was not disposed of in open session.
He argued that he could not say what
bad occurred when the question was
under consideration in secret session,
but when pressed said that if permitted
to do so he would say that the resolu
tion itself had not been considered at
that time. On the suggestion of Mor
gan, the eenate at 1 :26 p. m. went into
eecret session for the consideration of
the subject.
Washington., Jan. 11. The Philip
pine tariff debate in the house today
consisted more of party maneuvering
. for advantageous campaign material
than of discussion of the question at
isaue. The tariff was the text of a
fipeech by Grosvenor, of Ohio, who be
gan the debate, and ot an extended re
ply by Williams, the minority leader.
The speech of Grosveor was spiced with
witticisms and enlivened with interrup
tion from Champ Clark, at whom Gros
venor aimed most of his arguments.
Williams outlined the specific tariff
loctiine of the Democratic party and
held that the Republican tariff was
not, as so oiten claimed, responsible for
the prosperity of the country. To
prove this, he cited the prosperity of
Canada, Mexico and other countries at
the present time, and the business de
pression of these countries during the
hard times of 1893.
Adams, of Wisconsin, opposed the
bill, but advocated the readjustment of
the tariff on business principles. Mc
Kinley, of California, delivered his
first speech in the house in favor of the
measure, and pointed a finger of warn
ing toward the growing industries of
-Japan.
Wednesday, Jan. 10.
Washington, Jan. 10. The senate
made it plain today that it had yester
day all that it wants to hear for the
present on the Moroccan question.
Revolt Against Cannon.
Washington, Jan. 9. Speaker Can
non's efforts to win the insurgents over
to the Hamilton joint statehood bill
have met with little success apparent
ly, and the joint statehood proposition
is still shrouded in uncertainty. The
insurgents claim they have more than
58 votes, the number which, coupled
with the solid Democratic vote, will
force a consideration of amendments to
the Hamilton bill. Two or three Re
publicans are reported to have been
won over to the administration meas
ure, through Speaker Cannon.
Senate Will Investigate.
Washington, Jan. 9. All matters
relating to the Panama canal and the
government of the canal tone and the
management of the Panama railroad
will be investigated by the senate com
mitttee on interoceanic canals. This
was decided today at the first meeting
of the committee. The investigation
will begin on Taesday next, although
there may be a special meeting in the
interim to take np the nominations of
cinal commissioners.
There were two opportunities to resume
consideration of the subject, but both
were avoided, apparently with the as
sent of all the members, and the senate
adjourned at a comparatively early
hour rather than take it up.
For the rest of the session the senate
gave attention in turn to the question
of salaries paid to Panama canal offi
cials, to the pure food bill and the
merchant marine shipping bill, but
without taking action on any one of
those subjects. The canal subject was
discussed by Simmons and the pure
food bill by Heyburn. The only action
taken on the shipping bill was that of
reading it at length.
Washington, Jan. 10. A vigorous
speech in favor of the Philippine tariff
bill by Dalzell opened the proceedings
in the house today. It was followed by
several others against the measure,
moot, nntohlft nf which wan a two-hour
address by the veteran statesman, ex-
Speaker Keller, ot Ohio, wno returns to
the house after a retirement of 20
years. Keifer bespoke a "standpat"
doctrine of the most pronounced type.
He said he would oppose the pending
bill because it was a concession to
Democratic principles. His speech was
rpnlptn with recollections of earlier
days and received the closest attention
and liberal applause from both sides ol
the chamber.
Tuesday, Jan. 9.
Washington, Jan. 9. -The propriety
of discussing in open senate a resolu
tion introduced by Senator Baocn cal
ling upon the president for an account
of his appointment of delegates to a
proposed conference in Moroccan affairs
to be held by European powers at Al
gericaa, Spain, was considered for four
hours today, and then by strict party
vote, it was decided that the resolution
should be executive business. Bacon
in supporting his resolution, contended
for a public session, and Spooner de
clared that the adoption of the resolu
tion would be an encroachment by the
senate upon the constitutional rights
of the president, and virtually of hie
powers as chief magistrate.
Washington, Jan. 9. The Philip
pine tariff measure was the single topic
of consideration in the house today.
The speeches were uniformly against
the measure and were allowed to go, in
general, without answer. Digression
in the form of tariff revision discussion
was made in a brief speech by Gillette,
of Massachusetts, who tavored Cana
dian reciprocity. Bonynge, of Colo
rado, discussed the bill from the stand
point of the beet sugar industry.
Monday, Jan. 8.
Washington, Jan. 8. The senate to
today gave attention to the Panama
canal, the situation in Santo Domingo
and the merchant marine ahippiing
bill.
The canal biil question came np in
connection with a message from the
president, in which, among other
things, he invited the closest scrutiny
into all that had been done by the gov
ernment in the Isthmus of Panama.
Gorman made that utterance the text
for a speech, in which he criticised the
salaries paid for work in connection
with the canal, and urged congression
al inquiry. He said that the president
was not so much to blame as congress for
his assumption of control on the isth
mus, and that the chief mistake had
been made when congress released its
hold upon canal affairs. He agreed
with Gorman in urging the rights of
congress in connection with the canal,
and said that, while congress had dele
gated the matter to the president, the
latter practically had referred the
whole matter back to congress.
The senate tool up the merchant
marine shipping bill and Gallinger
spoke in support of that measure.
Quoting the utterances of Presidents
McKinley and Roosevelt on the im
portance of building np the merchant
marine, he urged congress to heed these
admonitions by passing a law that
would relieve the situation.
The senate then, at 4:13 P. M., went
into executive session, and at 4:20 ad
journed. Washington, Jan. 8. With over an
hour devoted to the District of Colum
bia, there was left but a half-hour to
be devoted by the house today to tariff
discussion. This was utilized by Sulli
van, of Massachusetts, who spoke
strongly for tariff revision from the
Democratic standpoint.
New Lightship and Tender.
Washington, Jan. 8. In the absence
of representation in the house from
Oregon, Representative Hepburn, of
Iowa, introduced a bill authorizing
the lighthouse board to immediately
expend $120,000 for the construction
and equipment of a new light vessel to
take the place of light vessel No. 50,
off the mouth of the Columbia river,
which is now undergoing repairs; also
a bill authorizing the construction of a
tiew lighthouse tender, costing $150,
000 to replace the Manzanita, which is
deemed unworthy of repairs.
Bills to Decide Old Claims.
Washington, Jan. 8. Senator Fulton
today introduced bills referring the
claim of the state of Oregon for money
paid volunteer troops for service dur
ing the Civil war to the court of claims
for adjudication; referring certain
claims claims of Waukiakum and
Mecqneclahwemnck bands of Chinook
Indians, Chehalis Indiana and Wbee
lappa band of Chinooks. The claims
are on account of lands taken from
them by the government.
RANGE WAR IN WYOMING.
Raiders Murder Herders, Slaughter
Sheep and Burn Camp.
Dpnver. A An. 12. An Evanston.
Wyo., special to the Tribune says:
Masked and mounted raiders, pre
sumed to be cattlemen, last night at
tacked the camps of two Utah flock
masters near Burnt Fork, close to the
Utah-Wyoming line, shot down A. N.
Garsite and Robert Allen, herders,
slaughtered the sheep, and birned the
camp wagons and outfits.
A camp mover who escaped tne dui
lets of the raiders witnessed the battle
from the brush. The raiders num
bered about 20, and approached the
camps at a gallop, firing a fusillade
of shots into the wagons. The herders
were killed at the first fire. It re
quired less than half an hour to club
the sheep to death and burn the out
fits, when the raiders departed. No
tices of warning to other flockmasters
were left with the bodies of the dead
herders.
Rhnnnmen are indignant, threaten to
get even, and more trouble iB antici
pated. The range on which the out
mom nrnn committed has long been in
dispute, and the sheepmen have been
frequently ordered away.
BLAMES ALL ON MOROCCO.
German Delegate Says Minister Mis
understood French Minister.
Paris. Jan. 12. With the approach
of the Algeciras convention on Moroc
can reforms, the newspapers devote
greater space to discussion of the ques
tion. Public opinion everywhere is
that the issue of the conference win De
amicable has been practically decided.
The Journal's Madrid correspondent
sends an interview with the uerma am
bassador at Madrid, Herr von Rado
witz.who ip also the principal German
delegate to the convention. The am
bassador, the correspondent says, has
no doubt of the favorable issue of the
conference. He believes the whole dis
agreement is due to the Moroccan min
ister's not understanding or misinter
preting the words of the French minis
ter to Morocco, willfully or otherwise,
and says if the bultan's delegates try to
prevent an agreement being reached by
the powers, as it has been suggested
thev would do. they will find tbero-
Rolirnn in ft most serious situation. But
the ambassador is of the opinion that
the Moroccan delegateB fully appreciate
this and will give no trouble.
FORBIDS PRIVATE CARS.
Bill Offered Congress by Fruit Job
bers' Association.
Duluth, Minn, Jan. 12. President
Roosevelt, Attorney General Moody
and members of congress and the Inter
state Commerce commission, will re
ceive this week copies of a bill ad
vocated by the Western Fruit Jobbers'
association, of which E. M. Ferguson,
of Duluth, is president, and which has
for its primary purpose the elimination
of private-freight cars, the correction of
refrigerating rates and bringing express
companies under the interstate com
merce acts and prohibiting the dealing
in commodities handled by them.
The bill will be introduced in con
gress during the present session. It
provides that roads must furnish all
rolling stoik required to handle inter
state commerce under penalty of heavy
fines. It outlaws "flexible charges
and gives the shipper an open avenue
for relief against unreasonable rates.
TRAIN WRECKERS WIPED OUT.
Deadly Vengeance on Rebels Who
Tore Up Track.
Riga, Livonia, Jan. 12. News has
just reached this city of a daring at
tempt of the revolutionists to capture a
military train conveying a large sum of
money from St. Petersburg to Libau.
A band of revolutionists having ad
vance information gathered at Hazen
pot, burned two bridges and tore up
the track. Two companiesof infantry,
which were escorting the train, left the
cars, and were joined by a detachment
of dragoons. This force marched against
the revolutionists, who from behind
improvised defenses, opened fire on the
soldiers. Tbe infantry, after firing two
volleys, wheh killed 65 and wounded
nearly 100 of the revolutionists,
charged with the bayonet, and the dra
goons completed the rout by sabering
all the revolutionists they overtook.
Pipe Line Across Isthmus.
Washington, Jan. 12. Secretary Taft
has recommended to the president
that he sanction the issue of a revoca
ble license to the Union Oil company,
of California, to conetruct and main
tain a pipe line across the canal zone.
There were six applicants for such a
right, but the company named is the
only one which specified the price of
oil if used by the government and
whose offer was otherwise sufficiently
definite and reasonable. It is, howev
er, expressly provided that the licence
shall not be exclusive.
Asks for Second Federal Judge.
Butte, Mont., Jan. 12. A Miner
special from Helena states that the
Montana Bar association this afternoon
adopted a resolution indorsing United
States Senator Thomas H. Carter's bill
providing an additional Federal judge
for Montana The association, how
ever, takes the ground that the bill
should not provide for the division of
the state into two Federal court dis
tricts, and recommends that change in
the proposed measure.
Grinding Cane in Mexico.
Mexico City, Jan. 12. Cane grind
ing is now well under way on the sugar
plantations. The total production is
sdtimated at 225,000 tons.
SELL TIMBER.
NOT THE LAND
New Law Favored by Senate Public
Lands Committee.
Fulton Opposes Giving Secretary of'
Interior Power to Provide for Ap
praisement, Saying He Has Been
Abusing Power Retarding Devel
opment by Withdrawals.
Washington, Jan. 11. The senate
public lands committee today nad up
for consideration the bill repealing tbe
timber and stone act, but no conclusion
was reached. The committee intends
to give this legislation very careful con
sideration, tnd it now seems probable
that some bill will ultimately be re
ported repealing the present law and
substituting a new law authorizing the
sale of timber on public land at not
less than its appraised vaue, in some
manner to be prescribed by the secre
tary of the interior.
When this feature was touched upon,
several Western senators, particularly
Fulton and Patterson, took occasion to
state their opinion that too much was
now left to the discretion of the secre
tary of the interior, particular reference
being made to his power to withdraw
land from entry for forestry purposes.
It was alleged that tbis power was
many times abused, that vast areas had
been withdrawn when there was no
justification for it, and in consequence
of Buch withdrawals development had
been retarded.
This discussion had no bearing on
the subject under consideration, and it
this particular question is taken up it
will probably be in the committee on
agriculture and forestry rather than the
committee on public lands.
FIRE CAUSES PANIC.
Hotel Guests Suffocate or Leap to
Sure Death at Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Jan. 11. Eight per
sons are dead from suffocation or from
leaping from windows and a score of
people are more or less injured as the
result of a fire in the West hotel early
this morning.
The fire, which is supposed to have
been caused by crossed electric wires,
was in itself insignificant, being con
fined to the elevator shaft and the top
floor in the corner of the building, but
the wild scene which followed the first
alarm hurried people into the halls and
out upon windows in a frantic attempt
to save themselves. The financial loss
will not exceed $30,000.
All of the hospitals sent their ambu
lances to the fire. Physicians hastened
to the hotel and offered their services,
and undoubtedly many liveB were saved
by their efforts. The hospitals sent a
corpe of nurses to give first aid to the
injured, and they were kept busy for
several hours after the fire had been
checked.
CHINA OPENS NEW TOWN.
Great Ceremony Welcomes Foreign
Traders to Tsinan Fu.
Tainan Fu. Jan. 11. The ceremonies
of opening Tsinan Fu, capital of the
province of Shan Tung, to foreign trade
today were attended by many Chinese
and foreign officials. The invited
American guests present included con
sular officials and representatives of
prominent mercantile companies. Two
hundred and fifty guests attended lun
cheon at noon, and the governcr of
Shantung will give a banquet to many
guests tonight at his palatial home,
which is built and furnished in for
eign style.
The governor's speech today em
phasized the fact that the first interna
tional commercial settlement opened by
China herself was initiated and long
awaited by viceroys Yuan Shi Kai and
Chou Fu. The area of the settlement
of about four miles.
Volcanoes Doing Double Turn.
Naples, Jan. 11. There was a sud
den eruption of Mount Vesuvius yester
day, and the resultant scene of pictur
esque magnificence was witnessed by
thousands of tourists, including many
Americans. Three streams of lava
reached the lower station of the rail
road, causing serious damage. There
are indications that the present activi
ties of the volcano are increasing. The
eruption is thought to be connected
with that of Mount Aetna, in Sicily,
which is in a state of eruption without
precedent since the eruption of 1810.
Rebel Houses Bombarded.
Tiflis, Jan. 11. The plundering of
this city continues. Iast night bombs
were thrown at a military patrol,
whereupon the house from which the
bombs were burled, and the adjoining
buildings, were bombarded by artil
lery, with the result that many persons
were killed or wounded. A house in
which an Armenian who had attempt
ed to assassinate an officer had sought
refuge was set on fire and the man was
burned alive.
Plot to Capture Fortress.
London, Jan. 11. A dispatch from
St. Petersburg to a new Imdon paper,
the Tribune, reports the arrest of eight
artillery officers of the St. Petersburg
garrison on the charge of being engaged
in a conspiracy to blow up the Troitsky
bridge and to capture the fortress.
CONVENTION ON RATE ISSUE.
Kansas Commercial Bodies to Form
State Association.
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 10. Many del
egates have already arrived in the city
to attend the State Freight Rate con
vention, which meets here tomorrow.
The convention will be held for the
purpose of forming a state organization
to influence freight rate legislation,
both in tbe state legislature and in
congress. It is expected that fully
1,000 delegates will attend, represent
ing commercial and farmers' organiza
tions from all parts of the state.
The principal speakers will be ex
Governor Van Sant, of Minnesota, and
Speaker I. L. Lenroot, of Wisconsin.
Governor Hoch and other prominent
men of Kansas are also on the pro
gram. A preliminary meeting attend
ed by tbe executive committee and
such delegates as have arrived was held
this evening. It is probable that J. L.
Bristow, ex-fourth assistant postmaster
general, will be elected permanent
chairman. The meeting this afternoon
resulted in a decision to present his
name.
Besides the accredited delegates there
are a large number of prominent busi
ness men from various parts of the
state present. A banquet will be ten
dered the visiting delegates and guests
of the convention tomorrow night by
the membcrj of the local commercial
organizations.
SIBERIA IN REVOLT.
Mutinous Soldiers of the Czar Con
trol the Whole Railroad.
Nagasaki, Jan. 10. News that has
failed to leak through St. Petersburg
because of the cutting of communica
tion came here today on the arrival of
the transport Mongolia from Vladivo
stok carrying Russian refugees. The
Russians told a story of horror along
the Siberia railway, as it had come to
them from stories told of stations
blocked by mutineers, who looted and
burned everything in sight.
Many of those who started for Russia
have turned back. Trains have been
seized and turned on a backward course
and great gaps exist in tbe line to the
European Russian frontier. According
to the refugees there has been a general
uprising in Siberian Russia, which will
Btop operation of the railway for the
winter at least, considering the difficul
ties of maintaining the line in winter
weather.
The stories of privation and horror
told by the refugees confirm in the
worst degree the small bits of news
that have leaked out from St. Peters
burg of the cutting of the railway and
the rebellion in the Manchurian army.
MORE REFORMS PROPOSED.
Pennypacker Amends Call for Special
Session in Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 10. Governor
Pennypacker today iesued a supplemen
tary proclamation to his call for the ex
tra session of the Pennsylvania legisla
ture which convenes next Monday, so
as to include a uniform primary elec
tion system, a civil service system for
state officers and the regulation of elec
tion expenses. He also amends bis
original call so as to enable the legisla
ture to pass a bill for the consolidation
of the cities of PittBbnrg and Allegheny,
eminent lawyers having contended that
it was impossible to pass such a bill
under his original proclamation.
The governor's supplementary call
was a great surprise to his official ad
visers, not one of whom thought he
would make any change in his original
call, despite the pressure for a uniform
primary election system and a new bal
lot law. Among the subjects men
tioned in the original call are personal
registration, state treasury reform and
senatorial and legislative reapportion
ment. Collect for Stolen Timber.
Washington, Jan. 10. The Supreme
court of the United States today heard
argument in the case of the United
States against the Bitter Root company,
of Montana, and at its conclusion took
up the case sgainst Senator William A.
Clark. In the Bitter Root case, the
prosecution is based on the allegation
that the company, as the assignee of
Marcus Daly, received the proceeds of
a large quantity of timber cut on pub
lic land in Montana, while Clark is
charged with possession of about 11,
000 acres of timber land fraudulently.
Wants Iowa to Investigate.
Dcs Moires, la., Jan. 10. F. M.
Molesberry sounded the first note of
battle against the life insurance com
panies in the Iowa legislature today by

of the house and senate to conduct a
sweeping investigation of the life insur -
ance business; revise the statutes and
irame new umis anu report io me next
general assembly, which meets next
winter.
Bomb Factory Blown Up.
St. Petersburg. Jan. 10. Reports
have beenjrereived here of a battle at
