RE8UMES WORK.
Both House of Congress Down to
Butin After Holidays.
Washington, Jan. 3. Defense of the
discharge of the three companies of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, member of
which were guilty of the Brownsvlll
shooting, was made In the senate today
I by Culberson, of Texas, who thus pre-
entd the unusual spectacle of a South
ern ITIIHHTOttU neillMUT PB VIHMiqilUM UI
a Republican president. Foraker be
gan a reply, but whs not able to finish
it on aevounV of a sure throat and se
cured an adjournment until Monday of
the debate on his resolution Instructing
the military committee to inquire into
the president's order. Ixsige offered
an amendment limiting the inquiry to
the conduct of the troop, t litis avoid
ing any question as to the president'
authority to disclutrge them.
Cullwrson said great injustice had
been done the people of Brownsville.
The conduct of the negro soldiers had
been very irritating. He related that
on August 4, the day before the "shoot
ing up" of the town, a criminal assault
had been committed by one of the
soldiers on the wife of a reputable eit-
isen. No arrests had heed made for
this crime. Culberson defended Cap
tain McDonald, of the Texas Rangers,
to whom Foraker hd referred, because
of Major Btockson'a reference to him
as a man who was "so brave that he
would not hesitate to charge hell with
a bucket of water."
Senator Nelson Introduced a bill to
prohibit the sale of land on which are
situated beds of coal, lignite, asphalt,
petroleum and natural gas in the gov
ernment domain until such deposits
have been exhausted. Provision is
made for leasing for terms not exceed
ing one vtar for the purpose of having
them explored. Persons making ex
plorations and discoveries are to be
given the preference in the right to
lease and work Uie deposits.

ditional judge for the Ninth judicial
district, another authorising the ap
pointment of an additional customs ap

The senate then went into executive

til Monday.

Fridsy, January 4.
Washington, Jan. 4. The "omnibus
claims bill," carrying an appropriation

ground that Mr. V lluamson had failed
thus fur to attend a single session of
the 59th congress. He lias been con
victed of participation in hind frauds
in Oregon.
FIRST AND ONLY EDITION.
Japanese Reds Cannot Long Maintain
Anarchist Paper.
San Francisco, Jan. 4. The case of
T. Takeuchi, of Berkeley, publisher of
the Revolution, will be reported to the
government at Tokio by Japanese Con
aul General Uyeno.
"We will make a report of the Ta
keuchi incident to Tokio," said Secre
tary Oyama, of the Japanese consulate
yesterday. "We can take no action in
the matter here. It is in the hands of
the local authorities, but we will report
the matter to our government and send
a copy of the Revolution to Tokio. I
think there will be no second issue of
tre publication. It is a publication
that must cost some money to get out,
and the nail dozen or so young men
who are associated with Takeuchi in
the publication cannot be very flush of
funds."
United States Commissioner of Im
migration Hart II. North has been
quietly gathering evidence against
Takeuchi. He will forward the re
sults of his investigations to Washing'
ton. If arrests are to be made orders
will be sent to North.

ployed in four of the smaller mines,
has gone out. They demand an eight
hour day. A peaceful settlement is
probable.
SHIP MAYBE LOST
LKa Ratts Washed Ashore From
City c! Panama.
BAD STORMS HAVE BEEN RAGING
Vsl Sailed From San Francisco on
Dcmbr SI for Ancon, on
Isthmus of Panama.
Son Francisco, Cal., January 8. A
dispatch to the Call from Santa Crua
any that a message received lute lost
night from Waddcll Bench, on the mast
40 miles north of here, my that the
Pacific Mail steamship City of Panama
has been wrecked and tlmt must of the
116 persons on board are believed to
have perished. Tfie message states
tliat four life rafts have been washed
ashore fully provisioned. '
The City of Panama left San Fran
cisco on December 31 for Ancon, on
the isthmus of Panama.
Two of the life rafts were found nt
Waddull beach and two a few miles
farther south. Alf were plainly
marked "City of Panama." They con
tained store such as are thrust into
boats which put off from wrecked
ships. One of tho rafts contained a
box of crackers and a cask of water. In
the boats were also found oars and
boathooka. Two of the rafts were
lashed together with ropes.
Terrific storms have been raging and
it is deemed impossible that any rafts
which may bo afloat can survive the
storm. The Impression prevails that
every one of the 00 passengers snd 56
members of the crew who left San
Francisco has perished.
It is believed that the City of Pana
ma encountered a severe storm shortly
after leaving San Francisco and tliat
she put out to sea. Returning closer
to shore to continue her trip to the
south, she met with another storm,
which rendered her helpless. Vhclhcr
she was torn to piece bv the galo or
driven on the rocks is not known.
Below Waddoll beach wreckage is
drifting ashore in vast quantities.
Ranchers are patrolling the shore,
watching for bodies which may drift
upon the beach.
San t rancisco local mariners refuse
to believe that the City of Panama lias
been wrecked. They believe she la In
distress in the storm and that her life
boats were washed overboard.

FAVORS RAISING SALARIES.
Snat Commit! Msy Rtor th
Amndmnt Rejected by Hous.
Washington, Jan. 2. Tho uh com
mittee of Uie senate committee on ap
propriations, which, fur the last week,
ms been considering the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, has considered tho question of In
creasing the salaries of senators and
reptsentatives, and now it seem prob
able tliat the sub committee will recom
mend an advance of 50 -r cent on con
gressional salaries. The sub committee
is practically unanimous in the opin
ion that such an Increase should lie
made, but there Is a general feeling
hat the house should have inserted the
provision.
It also looks as It tn commute
would recommend that the provisions
for increasing the salaries of the vice
president, speaker and cabinet officer
should be eliminated unless a corre
sponding increase Is secured for senators
and member of the house.
Many members of the committee
think Uie senate should lie given an op
portunity to pas on the euhject, and
II advocate the incoriorutlon of an
amendment In th bill by the commit
tee covering the entire subject.
RAILROAD IS NOT LIABLE
Employers' Liability Act Declared Con
trary to Constitution.
Imisville, Jan. 2. Judge Walter
Evans, In the Federal court ttslay, de
clared the employers liability act un
constitutional. The decision w a given
n the cose of the administratrix of N.
C. brooks vs. the Southern Pacific rail
way, and is believed to lie the first
handed down in connection with this
act.
Tho alleged cause of action occurred
in Kansas. Tho huslsind of the plain
tiff was killed in a railroad accident
and suit was brought under this act for
$25,000 damages and an amount audi
clent to cover tho cost of expense inci
dent to death. The court hold Uiat
the act In effect would regulate com
merce within the state as well as inter
state commerce and is therefore uncon
stitutional. The demurrer of Uie
Southern Pacific railroad to action for
damages is sustained.

of formulation. He 1 sntUfled Uiat
the bill will provide for the completion

000. One million dollar will tie ap
propriated In rash and a continuing
contract will be authorised for Uie bal
ance, so that tho work may be pressed

essary delay.
The house committee Is apparently
inclined to deal fairly with Uie Cclilo

priate less than Uio 1750,000 asked for
by the engineers. If Uli Hem should
be cut materially, Senator Fulton will
co-o)eiaU) with Senator Piles, of Wash

that the amount recommended can bo
secured by a senate amendment.
