Washington, May 25.— In the house of representatives today the question of veracity vas raised between Ccoper, of Wisconsin, and Hepburn, of Iowa, over a conversation in which the latter is alleged to have partcipated with a member of the senate and in which, Cooper asserted, the member of thè house and the senator referred to agreed that the so-called express com pany amendment to the railroad rate bill should not remain in the bill. The house was turbulent daring the consideration of the rule sending the rate bill to conference, the fear of many members being that the rule, which disagreed to the senate amendments en bloc, might have an influence on the conferees and give them an opportu nity, if they so desired, to vote out the express company amendment, the amendment relating to pipe lines aDd the sleeping-car amendment. bis s a l a r y . _________ Monday, May 28.

Hale criticised the provision permit ting the secretary of agriculture to ex tend to 80 days the fortnight’ s leave now allowed to employes outside the city of Washington, expressing the opinion that the practice is growing rapidly, and that it will soon extend to all tlie poetoflices of the country if not checked. He spoke of the general de mand for government employment, say ing that such employes became “ a hun gry, persistent band ol mendicants,” and that congress is dragooned, impor tuned and browbeaten by the demands of this organized band of subordinates. IPaie referred to the possibility of pen sioning government employes. The free alcohol bill was paFsed by the senate practically as it came from the house. Washington, May 28.— Early in the session of the house today Williams, Miss., the floor leader of the minority, made the point that there was no quor um present, and it took a call of the honse to start the wheels of legislation. After the appearance of a quorum, the house concurred in amendments made by the senate to a number of house bills. The house resolved itself into a “ city council” for the consideration of bills relating to the .District of Colum- bii. The compulsory education bill for the district occupied most of the day, being finally placed on ils passage. On a division, the absence of a quorum was disclosed. Williams made the point of no quorum, and a call of the house en sued, the veas and nays being called on tbs passage of the b ill. Saturday, May 28. Washington, May 28.— During the course of a listless day’ s legislation on the diplomatic and consular bill in the house today, Champ Clark, of Mis souri, stated that he had heard wliis perings that the Chinese exclusion law was to be modified to affect all classes of Chinese, with the exception of coolie labor. He gave notice that, if there was any such intention on the part of the majority, he would fight such a change to the last ditch ; that he had been somewhat instrumental in putting the Chinese exclusion law on the stat ute books, and that for one he would not agree to its modification. Under general debate, the house hav ing met at 11 o’ clock for further con sideration of the diplomatic bill, speeches were made by a number of members and this subject took a wide range, from pensioning the Missouri militia to the rate b ill.

Pretoria, May 25.— The garrison here h»B been ordered to preoare to take the field, and it is understood that similar orders have been sent to eve*y com mandant of British troops in South Africa The situation in Natal is growing more and more eerious daily and advices received from the troops that are operating against Bamhata show that he ie receiving reinforce ments from nearly every tribe in Zulu- land. Arms and ammunition are also being sent to him, and all efforts of the colo nial authorities to put a stop to this traffic have proved futile. Zulu spies are everywhere and are apparently able to keep the leaders posted as to field plans, as no sooner ie a trap set for the rebels than they escape from it. They have also captured several convoys. The fact that the colonial troops have been unable to make any headway against the rebels, and that British regulars are to be called on, indicates how serions the eituation is. The authorities are hardly in a position at present to enter into a great Zulu war, and it is understood that they w ill bend every effort to crush Bambatal within the next few days. A ll the regular troops that can be spared are to take the field against him, while the colo nials will act with them and will also try to prevent any other Zulu tribes from reaching Bambata until he can be crushed. Washington, May 24.— Speaker Can non, with the memory of yesterday’ s proceedings in his mind, took a new tack today when the house of represen tatives met, by sending word to Curtis, of Kansas, to raise the point of “ no quorum” when a dviision waB demand ed by Williams, of Mississippi, on the vote to resume consideration of the diplomatic and consular bill. Mr. Curtis made the point of “ no quorum,” taking *he wind out of William s’ sails, the “ call of the house” proceeding un der Republican demand instead of on the demand of the leader of the minor ity. A quorum was present, the vote being, Ayes 222, noes 21, present 19. Wednesday, May 23. Washington, May 23.— In addition to passing a half dozen bills to which no objection was made, the senate de voted its entire session today to the im migration bill, which was passed just before the hour of adjournment. The major portion of the discussion was de voted to the provision for supplying in formation concerning the different sec tions of the country to newly arrived immigrants. The bill consists of a series of amend ments to the existing law, all of them intended to permit stricter regulations for keeping out the defective classes of aliens. The head tax is increased from »2 to $5. An amendment requiring an educa tional test for immigrants and also re quiring that no immigrant carrying less than $25 should be admitted was pre sented by Simmons, wtio spoke in sup port of it. Lodge offered a snbsti'ute confining the test to an educational re quirement and providing that no alien more than 16 yeais of age who cannot read in some language shall be admit- ted except members of the families of male adults now residing in the United States. Simmons accented the substi tute and it was adipted. Washington, May 2 3 ,-W h en the house met today an unusual scene oc curred. Williams, the minority lead er demanded the ayes and noes on a motion of Adams, of Pennsylvania to go into committee of the whole for the farther consideration of the diplomatic and consular bill. This was refused the speaker nolding that one-fifth of the members present had not risen to demand the ayes and noee. “ I demand that the other side be aken,” called out Williams. The speak .r refused to take tl.e nega- !______ tive on a .¡.in® rising vote, vote stating that but a .hort time before it had been deinon- crated that a quorum was present 195 Then Williams thundered out a pro test against the speaker’s ruling.______ WAS NOT STEALING British Fear That Another Great War May Come in South Africa. AD M IT TH EY G O T REBATES. Favored Merchants Testify Against Burlington Road. Kansas City, May 25.— Testimony of unusual interest was brought out this afternoon in the United States court in the trial of George H. Croaby, traffic manager of the Burlington railway; George L. Thomas, of New York, a freight broker, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk, on a charge of conspiracy in re bating railroad rates. The principal witnesses were George A. Barton, of Barton Brothers’ Shoe Company; George W. Taylor, of Robert Keith Furniture Company; E. W. Freyscliiag. of the Freyschlag Mercan tile Company, all of this city, and Walter Kelby, of New York, cleric in 1904 and 1F05 for Thomas. The testimony showed that the firms mentioned received large sums of money from mysterious sources after freight bills had been paid; sometimes in express packages, always from New York, but none knew who sent it. On the Hand F eyscblag frankly referred to an agreement with Thomas whereby his firm was to receive 25 per cent re bates on freight bills, und told how the money was deposited iu New York to toe firm’s credit by one Jackscn, whom he did not know. He could not remember whether he or Thomas had suggested the use of the name. At first he said that the idea wai his, but on cross-examination he changed and said that he could not re member. He admitted that the name was used to hide “ this business,” a term all the witnesses today employed. Supreme Court Decides on Per kins’ Alleged Misdeeds. WAS NOT EVEN MORALLY WRONG New York Life Company Money Ap propriated Openly and Avowedly fo r Campaign Purposes. New York, May 26. — The appellate division of the 8upreme coart today handed down a decision discharging from custody George W. Perkins, whom the Supreme court had held to await action of the grand jury on a charge of grand larceny in connection with the campaign contributions of the New York Life Insurance company to the Republican national committee. District Attorney Jerome, upon hearing the court’ s decision discharg ing Mr. Perkins, said: “ I shall appeal this case to the court of appeals and get a decision there.” Justice McLaughlin, who wrote the prevailing opinion, said: “ I f the facts set out in the deposi tions upon which the warrant here was issued he construed in the most liberal way consistent with a judicial deter mination, I am of the opinion that such facts do not establish that the crime of grand larceuy has been committed, as the same is defined by the pe lal code. The defendant had a right to give of his own funds to the chairman of the Republican national committee. The relator made the contribution at the request of the president of the insur ance company with the express under standing that it would repay him. The money belonging to the insurance com pany was appropriated openly and avowedly by the relator, after all the fac's hid been stated to the finance committee, to reimburse him for the money which he had previously ad vanced.” Justice Patterson, while agreeing that Mr. Perkins cannot he found guilty of larceny, said that he may be comps led by a civil action to make restitution, inasmuch as the officers of the company had no power to make the contribution. Justice Ingraham Bays it must be understood the court is not now concerned with the civil responsi bility of Mr. PerkinB to the company. He continues: “ It was McCall who appropriated the money of the corporation, and the officers or employes of the company, who obeyed his direction in making that payment, without intent to do more than carry out the instructions of the president of the corporation, were not, as I view it, responsible lor ihe act.” Justice McLaughlin says: “ It cannot be said that Mr. Perkins did not have a moral claim, even though, owing to the fact that the pres ident doubtless exceeded his authority, be may have had no legal claim for reimbursement.” EAQT HQUAKE W RECKS C IT Y .

Portland, May 26.— J. N. W illiam son, Van Gesner and Marion R. Biggs filed yesterday, through Judge Bennett, their attorney, a revised bill of excep tions with the clerk of the federal rontt. The bill is a voluminous docu ment of 1,050 typ ew ritten pages, and reprodaces in a large measure the testi mony of the trial in which they were convicted of conspiracy to defraud the government. A copv of the b ill' has been sent to Judge Hunt, of Montana, who is ex pected to come to Portland about June 10. Judge Hunt refused to receive a former bill of exceptions presented by the defendants. It is necessary for such a bill to be accepted before the case ran go to the higher court. Judge Hunt will probably pass upon this lat est filing soon. The battleship Kearsarge on which seven men met death through the accidental discharge of a quantity o f powder In one of the gun turrets during target practice oft the coast o f Cuba, is one of the most powerful fighting craft of the United States navy. When she went into commission six years ago she attracted much attention among the naval experts because of a peculiarity in her conatructlon, the placing of the turrets for the eight-inch guns' directly on top of the turrets carrying the thirteen-inch rifles, a plan which aroused considerable controversy. The Kearsarge was launched at Newport News, Va., March 24, 1898. She measurea 368 feet on the water line, 72 feet beam and her draught Is 23 feet 0 Inches, with a displacement of 11,525 tona. She has a speed of sixteen knots an hour, the indicated horse power being 10.000. Her battery consists of four thirteen-inch guns, four o f the elght-'.neh type and twelve of the five-inch in the main battery, with twenty slx-pounders, six one- pounders and four machine guns In the secondary battery. By a Judleloua arrangement of the guns, much —«ight was saved, which was devoted to un usually heavy armor. With thla extra protection the Kearsnrge Is unusually light In draught for a battleship and can go In shoal water where many an other lighter craft would he unable to follow her. atomic breaking up Is thought to be S I 1 going on in all matter, with the setting j J free of enormous energy, and It Is eal- Jfj culnted that if the action extends I t throughout the earth, the emission by SB every atom o f an electron once in a By1 thousand million years would account l ( for the earth's Internal heat.
