Allot Colvllle Reserve.
Washington, March 12. There is
every reason to believe that congress
will pass the bill now pending before
both houses authorising the opening to
eettlemnt of the ural lotted lands of the
south half of the Colvllle Indian reser
vation. A bill for this purpose was
pressed in the last congress, but was

Tuesday, March 13.

of w hlch were of considerable import
ance. One of them provides for the

Monday, March 12.
Washington March 12. There was
a sharp division of opinion in the sen
ate today over the question whether the
Tillman Gillespie resolution instruct
ing the Interstate Commerce commis
sion to inquire into the railroad hold
ings of coal and oil lands justified the
president's message regarding it. Till
man complained that the president had
charged congies with insincerity, pre
tense and ignorance. Ixxlgn and
Hooiier took the position that the
chaigb of ignorance was warranted.
The debate was interrupted at 2
o'clock, when Cullerson was recognized
to speak on the railroad rate bill. He
read a section of hi bill to create emer
gency power for the Interstate Com
merce commission, which he will offer
as a substitute for the pending meas
ure. Foraker took issue with Culberson
when he declared congress itself had
construed the commerce clause of the
constitution as giving it power to fix
rates, by granting a Federal charter to
the Union I'acific railway. In that act
it reserved this power, and it acted un
der the commerce clause in that legis
lation. This Foraker contended should
not he so held.
Washington, Marh 12. Carrying out
the recommendation of the commission
that investigated the wreck of the Va
lencia, Senator Tiles and Representa
tive Humphrey today introduced a hill
authorizing the construction of an
ocean going tug for ub on the North
Tactile coast from the entrance of Tuget
sound southward along the coast of
Oregon. This tug is to be designed
primarily for use in times of emergen
cy, such as shipwreck, and intended to
he otherwise useful in caring for life
and property along the north coast.
No specific appropriation is made by
the hill, the sise of the appropriation
to he determined by a committee, hut
it is stipulated that the vessel shall be
built under the direction of the secre
tary of the treasury, and shall be con
trolled hy the revenue cutter service.
Her crew shall iuclude skilled men de
tailed from the lite-saving service.
Senator Tile also introduced a bill
authorizing tho establishment of three
life-saving stations on the Washington
coast between Gray' Harbor and Capo
Flatery.
Report on Employers' Liability Bill.
Washington, March 12. The house
committee on judiciary decided today
to make a favorable report on the Kates
Kmployer' Liability hill, in amended
form. Representative Sterling, of Illi
nois, will draw the report. Under the
bill a railroad is made liable to an em
ploye, hia wife, children or dependent
relatives, "for all damages which may
result from the negligence of any of its
odlcera, agents or employe or by reas
on of any defect or insufficiency due to
it negligence In its cars, engines, ap
pliances, track, roadbed or works."
Doublet Experiment Station Gift.
Washington, March 13. The senate
this evening passed the bill which
passed the houe February 15, pro
viding for an increased annual appro

and by an additional sum of $2,000 per

MAY FORCE FIGHT.
Senntn Committee Will Report DI
RrpnnlinK Timber Law.
Washington, March 14. The senate
committee on public lands is putting
the finishing touches on hill to reieal
tint timber and stone act and substitute
therefore a new law authorlx'i ng the
sale of mature timber on thn public do
main at no ldt tlmu its appraised val
ue, provision also being made for the
sale of stone valuable for building pur
poses on an cquitahhi basis. For six
weeks the committee has been consid
ering this bill, and has now agreed to
its various provisions', merely waiting
for the adjustment of minor features
before reporting to tint senate. Trac
tically every member of the committee
s favorable to the hill in its present
form, believing it will cure most, if not
all, of tint evils that have been perpe
trated under thn provisions of the tim
ber and stonn act.
The future of this hill is somewhat
in doubt. It seems quite likely that
it will pans the seriate, for there is a
general sentiment In its favor. With
few exceptions, the iiitire seriate is con
vinced that thn timber and stone act is
iniq'iitous in many respects; in its en
forcement, if not in its prescribed stip
ulation. But what will th house com
mittee do to the seriate hill?
It will he recalled that only a couple
of weeks ago the house committee
tabled similar bill. Hy a vole of
eight to five the house committee re
fused to even permit the house to con
sider the subject of repealing the tim
ber and stone act. It was a wise move
from the standpoint of the men opposed
to reform in the land laws, for it is a
sure thing that once the house has an
opportunity to vote to repeal the tim
ber and stone act, that law will go off
the statute books with the sanction of
a large majority of the house members.
WIN BY SUBTERFUGE.
Germany Wants a Neutral "Power to
Name Inspector General.
Algeciras, March 14. Success or
failure of the Moroccan conference still
depends upon Germany. When Ger
many in consequence of the almost
universal disapproval which her posi
tion excited, appeared to concede the
principle of the Franco-Spanish police,
ttie delegates suposed an agreement was
at hand and all menace of war vanish
ed. Closer scrutiny of the Austro-Ger-man
proiioesl for an inspector general,
particularly in the light of llerr von
Hadowi's's private description of this
functionary, showed that Germany con
tinued to demand the internationaliza
tion of Morocco.
It is expected that France's opposi
tion to such a scheme will finally lead
Germany to abandon it, but in the
meantime the state of tension jnd un
certainty has lieen resumed. If Ger
many insists that the inspector general
poeseis the right to control the police,
no settlement can be amicably effected.
The French will not permit a stalking
horse in the form of a supreme execu
tive oflicer to enter Morocco w th Ger
many lehind him disguised as SweJen,
Holland or Switzerland. To allow this
would he to allow the kaiser to accom
plish by a trick what he has been pow
erless to achieve openly.
The neutral delegate are anxious
that France shall not he unyielding as
to nonessentials, but realize that Ger
many's latest move looks like a subtle
attempt to attenuate the French posi
tion until the world will be unable to
see it, while leaving it in substance b
large as originally. It is doubtful if
the kaiser's negotiation will gain any
thing from this effort. The delegates
do not relish the assumption the con
ference is lacking in discernment.
Sea Rushes Over Land.
Prussels, March 14 Terrible havoc
ha resulted in North Belgium from the
overflowing of the Scheldt river. Many
farmhouses were completely demolished
by the rush of water and at Melsole
ten children were drowned before the
eyes of their parents, who were help
less to aid them. Peoole have taken
refuge on the roof of houses, from
which points they are now being res
cued hy soldier in boat. Manufac
turing establishments were destroyed
and the loss is estimated at 2,500,000
francs.
Funds for Trust Inquiry.
Washington, March 14. The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today decided to make a
favorable report on the Townsond joint
resolution providing for an appropria
tion of $50,000 to enabl-) the- interstate
commerce committee to investigate rail
ways and monopolies under the Tillman-Gillespie
joint resolution. The
Townsend resolution also corrects other
defects in the Tillman-Gillespie reso
lution.

New York, March 14. The New

General Louis Fitzgerald, ex-chairman

ety, who wa desired as a witness by
the Armstrong investigating committee,

his home in Lexington avenue last
night and a process server held vigil in
the street near by.

CAN NEVER AGREE1
Germany Gives Up Hope of Mo
roccan Settlement.
LAVS ALL BLAME ON FRANCE
Kaiser's Spokesman Says Ho Will
Yield No More Hands of
Delegates Are Tied.
Ilerlin, Murch ). German laitli in
an amicable settlement of the Moroc
can tiingle Iihs given way to hopeless
ness. A spokesman for thn government
today admitted that thn situation ha
reverted to a critical point, with di
minishing prospects of agreement.
When your correspondent on March
5 cabled that harmony was in sight, he
reflected the firm confidence of the
kaiser and l'rinco von J'.uelow that a
settlement was only a matter of hours.
France' refusal to regard the German
conressions as adequate surprised the
Merlin authorities, who now insist that
handing over police control of Cssa
I'lanra, which is one of the seaports of
Morocco, to the neutral powers is the
German irreducible minimum.
The Foreign office's conception of the
position of affair at this hour is that
matters are where they were before,
except it is "plainer than ever that,
if the conference breaks up, the blame
will belong to France, and to France
alone."
Cannot Move Step Forward.
Algeciras, March 15. The Moroccan
conference has reached a peculiar stage.
It is completely helpless to solve the
deadlock which has arisen over the re
maining details of the police and bank
questions.
The sessions are temporarily sus
pended without knowing when they
will be resumed. The French and Ger
man delegates are bound by their in
structions, and therefore are unable to
make any further concessions, and the
conference, not having judicial or ex
ecutive powers, cannot settle the differ
ences by a majority.
The neutral delegates who have here
tofore fought to secure an agreement
between the parties which the confer
ence could unanimously confirm, now
recognize that if the conference ia left
to itself, it is incapable of getting out
of the present difficulty, and it remains
for the governments themselves to in
tervene for the purpose of reaching an
agreement.
TO CHANGE EXCLUSION LAW.
Representatives of Commerce Give
Opinion to House Committee.
Washington, Marcb 15. John Foord,
secretary of tha American Asiatic asso
ciation, and representatives of commer
cial intercuts iu prominent citk" of the
United States, appeared before the
house committee on foreign affairs to
day in support of the Foster bill to
amend the Chinese exclusion act in
such manner that high class Chinese
may he admitted at less inconvenience.
Mr. Foord discussed the section of the
president' message recommending
modification of the exclusion act.
"There is nrtbing radical about the
change the president proposes," said
Mr. Foord. "The president' simple
nmedy is to define the excluded class
of Chinamen and let all others enter
after due consideration by the consular
officers of the United States at the port
of departure in China, and bear ing, cer
tificates duly vised by the officers."
I. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C,
representing the National association of
Manufacturers, said his associates had
no desire to admit Chinese coolies. He
said class distinctions were made in
China and must be recognized by the
United State. The coolie was so eas
ily recognized that it was desirable tor
this country to say that all Chinese but
the coolies may enter our ports. He
urged that there was no desire among
manufacturer to bring Chinese labor-
era here to compete with American
labor, for, he said, intelligent labor,
using improved machinery, excel Chi
nese cheap labor.

Salt Lake City, March 15. Railway

Washington, March 15. The house
committee on public lands today favor
ably reported a bill permitting settler

railroad being authorized to make se
lection of an equal area of land else

'LI E-GERY" EQUALS FORGERY.
.tt Word Coined for False I m per

"There ought to be a new word
coined to serve as a running mate to
the word forgery," said a Kansas City

telephone has obviated the necessity of
much writing, a substitute for forgery,
which I call llegery, has come Into gen
eral use. This Is the system : The tele
phone rings. I answer. Some one snys:
'This Is the Tater and Onion Grocery

Seeing that the original of Sherlock

was murdered near Carlisle for the
sake of the little sum of money In her
possession. There was no clue be
yond a footprint marked lu a pool of
congealed blood. The notable feature
of this print took the form of two pe
culiar Indentations near the tie. News
of the clue got abroad, and when the
police pounced upon an engine driver
whom they suspected, they found that
there bad been withdrawn from the
toe of one of the boots two nails, the
positions of which corresponded with
the marks left In the Impression. They
searched until tbey found those two
nails hidden beneath newly turned

woven a chain of evidence which

THE OLD WATER MILL
1.
On the slope of the hill
Stand the old water mill
Vi:n lis rafters decadent and rotten.
Now an Idle old shed,
Th wheel, listless and dead.
And the men who once ran It forgotten.
O, the flowers I knew, how grandly they
grew
Hy the old water mill
On the slope of the billl
Here the cholresters sung
As they merrily swung
With the swish and the sway of the
breeze ;
And the wind that blew
On the flowers I knew
Shook silvery songs from the bough of
the trees.
Hut the songs are all old, the tale are
all told.
There is naught but the mill
On the slope of the hill.
When the death wind blows
On the red flaming rose
Waving here with its petals of gladness.
Flaring here In the sun,
A red emblem of fun,
And the symbol of mirth and Its madness,
Put me here by the brook. In a cool ahad
nook,
On the slope of the hill
ISy the old water mill.
