BE GENEROUS TO PHILIPPINES. New York Board of Trade Warts Restrictions Removtd. New York, Nov. 24. Resolutions favoring abolishing American dutlvs on rhilippine products and repeal of the new law to regulate shipping between this country and the Philippines were adopted today by the New York Board of Trade. The resolutions read in part: 'If the islands are our wards, they are not part of the Uuited States and we should not make the mistake that what Is good (or the United States is good (or the Philippines. Intense de sire is evinced in the Philippines (or the removal o( our duties on their pro ducts and, insofar as such abolition would benefit them, we should sonor ously grant them that advautag." In urging upon congress the repeal of the shipping act, which will become operative on July 1, 1900, the resolu tions declare that the act will reduce the facilities for commerce between the United States and the Philippines and materially enhance the cost of produce from the United States or of American manufactures imported into the Phil ippines. The resolutions continue: "There are no American ships in the trade between the Philippines and the Atlantic ports, and there would not be enough American tonuage to carry 425,000 bales of Hour annually import ed at these ports. A great deal of it would have to come via the Pacific ports and over transcontinental rail roads, and this unnatural route affords the only competition to check the ex horbitant rates to Atlantic ports made." SMOOT WILL NOT RESIGN. No Action on Senator's Case Likely Before January. Washington, Nov. 24.- Senator Reed Smoot, who arrived here this evening, says most emphatically that "there is no foundation for the story that he in tends to resign from the senate, and he is at a loss to understand the source of the report. He is surprised to learn that the senate committee will reopen his case and give further hearings, but has no objection to that course. He furthermore declares his willingness to abide by any decision which the senate may make when it comes to a vote on his case. It will probably be late in January before the committee on privileges and elections makes a report on the case. Hearings cannot be resumed before the first week in January. After their con clusion the committee will take some time to digest the great mass of testi mony and it will be remarkable if it can report in January. Once the case goes to the senate it will receive prompt consideration, as it is a matter of the highest privilege and will be dis posed of before legislative matters can receive consideration. It is expected the debate will occupy several weeks. ELKINS PROPOUNDS IDEAS. Offers Suggestions for Federal Reg ulation of Railroads, Washington, Nov. 24.- The senate committee on interstate commerce to day continued the discussion of meas ures relative to amending the railway regulations. Many ideas were ex changed, but there were no develop ments of importance. Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee, occupied much of the session in making sugKes tions and discussing propositions which he thought ought to be incorporated in any bill that may be reported. These suggestions were numerous and would mean a lengthy measure aside from regulation provisions. Mr. Elkins did not bring forward the pooling proposition, but intends to present it later in some modified form, so that there may be freer traffic be tween railroads. One particlar point made by him looked to compelling trunk lines to afford better facilities to lateral lines and small roads which are compelled to use big roads to reach a market. The better management of the private car lines so as to meet the demands of shippers and amendment of the laws bearing on terminal compa nies and termnial charges also were suggested. Says Castro Is Only Bluffing' Paris, Nov. 24. Inquiry at the For eign office today brought out the state ment that the report that France ac cedes to President Castro's request to indicate what portions of the Venezuel an note to Mr. Taigny, the French charge d'affaires, are offensive, is in correct. The officials say the president has heretofore been completely inform ed regarding the offensive features of the note and therefore the report that France will give further explanations is characterized as "a bluff intended to delay and confuse the situation." Japan's New Big Gun Factory. Victocria, B. C, Nov. 24. An im mense gun factory, with 20 large bulid ings, covering 83 acres, is being estab lished on the Suraida river, near Tokio, by the Japanese military authorities, where 4,000 men will be employed in making heavy ordnance. REFUSES TO CHANGE Hitchcock Admits California Has Share la Klamath. BUT CHARGES ALL TO OREGON Fulton's Plea for Umatilla Irrigation Falls on Deaf Ears Secretary Denouncss Malheur. Washington, Nov. 25. Secretary Hitchcock Is now convinced of the in terstate character of the Klamath irri gation project and acknowledges that California is to benefit by the work In contemplation fully as much as Ore gon, but he is not willing to change his order charging the entire allotment to the state of Oregon. When Seuator Fulton again took up the matter of the Umatilla project with the secretary, he found Hitchcock hold ing the same views he voiced on the occasion of his previous visits, contend ing that Oregon's M per cent reserve fund has been appropriated and ex plaining that there are no funds avail able for coustr action of the Umatilla project. Mr. Fulton maintains that, even if the secretary adheres to his determina tion to charge the entire cost of the Klamath work to Oregon, there is yet enough money in the reclamation fund to the credit of Oregon to build the Umatilla project. On June 30 last Oregon's restricted fund was practically $2,600,000. I Vducting $2,000,000 al lotted for Klamath, there was vjret $500,000 left, and it is Mr. Fulton's contention that since July I, 1905, enough money has been received from disposal of public lands in Oregon to make the other 500,000 necessary for the Umatilla project. The secretary is unable to state how much money Ore gon has contributed to the fund since July, but will advise the senator when he ascertains the facts. Notwithstanding that he denominates the Malheur project a "steal," and al ludes to the operation of the wagon road people as a "graft," the secretary will not formally set aside this project, though admitting that he will not con struct it. Nor will he permit the Mal heur allotment to be used in part for the Umatilla project. He says Oregon has had her full share of reclamation money outside of the Malheur project, and is not entitled to the benefit of the money which is now credited to that project, but which is not being used. TRY TO DAM SALTON SEA. Lerge Force Working to Save Rail road From Destruction. Los Angeles, Nov. 25. Two hun dred men, divided into day and night shifts, 20 teams hauling brush and sand, two piledriveis thumping away almost incessantly, two sternwheel steamers carrying construction material and commissary stores from Yurna these forces under Superintendent J. Tolin are engaged in the Herculean task of building a 600 foot 'dam across the west channel of the Colorado river four miles below Yuma, by which the California Development company hopes to bring Salton sea to a standstill and eventually restore the Salton Sink to a dry bed of evaporation of the flood wtaers that have wreaked such havoc there. If the dam is a success, the Southern Pacific railway in lime will be able to abandon its 16 miles of shoofly track east of Salton, and resume its main line. - If the dam is a failure, 40 miles ami perhaps more of shoofly may have to be built, the whole Imperial coun try may he deprived of its supply of canal water, and the Colorado river may be diverted through the River Padrones into Volcano lake, thence to find its way northward through the new river into the Salton Sea. What this would mean may be conjectured from the damage already done by the flooding of the great sink. Congress Will Investigate Expense. Washington, Nov. 25. It was stated at the War department today that while congress would be asked to appropriate a total of $16,000,000 to meet the needs of the Panama canal work to June 30 next, it is not ex pected that congress will appropriate it in a lump sum. The canal officials expect that congress will pass a bill making available a portion of this amount to meet the immediate wants because, congress would prohably in vestigate to learn how the money thus far expended has been used. Hyde-Dimond Case Postponed. Washington, Nov. 25. The hearing by the Criminal court on the demurrer filed in the Hyde-Dimond case, in which fraudulent land transactions on the Pacific coast are charged, which was set for today, was postponed for two weeks.
