MinNEAPOLIS, MINN, : was driven -ashore early in the day SENT BACK TO SENATE HOUSE RESENTS ACTION OF UP- PER BRANCH IN PASSING A CERTAIN BILL. YOTE ON MATTER IS UNANIMOUS MEASURE TAKEN FROM SPEAK- ER'S TABLE AND RETURNED TO SENATE. ki ‘Washington, Dec. 16.—An effort was made when the house met to limit fur- ther debate on the question of commit- | tee reference of the president’s mes- sage. So many requests were made for time that the attempt to set a time to vote was abandoned, “This is as good a time as any to get th speeches off,” suggested Champ Clark (Mo.). Representative Sherley (Ky.) began the discussion of the reference of the insurance recommendation to the ways and means committee. He had hardly begun when a message from the sen- ate was received announcing that the senate had passed a senate bill remoy- ing disabilit from the canal bonds. Mr. Payne interrupted the proceedings to offer a resolution regarding the bill, stating that “the bill in the opinion of | the house contravenes the first clause of the seventh section of the first article of the Constitution and is an infringement of the prerogatives of the honse and that the senate bill be taken from the speaker's table and be respectfully returned to the senate with a message communicating this resolution. Minority Leader Supports Payne. Mr. ate bill w yne explained that the sen- clearly a revenue measure and should have originated in the house. This statement was met with applause, which continued when Mr. Williams, the minority leader, took the same position. Without further debate a rising vote was had. As every one stood up in tavor of the resolution the speaker an- nounced. while ‘the house- burst into laughter: “Three hundred and eighty- six members have voted in the affirma- tive.” There were no opposing votes. The dig: sion occupled 1 than ten minutes, when Mr. Sherley re- sumed. He opposed a reference of the subject either to the ways and means or interstate and foreign commerce committees. Mr. Cockran (N. Y.) maintained that the power of taxation was a legit- imate weapon to control the privileges of commerce. He made a vigorous at- tack on the officers of the three big life insurance companies of New York. He denounced the system under which the companies had grown up and was appalled that the confessions of the oficers of these companies had not landed them in jail, LANE IS A DEMOCRAT. 8enators Hold Up Nomination of In- terstate Commissioner. Washington, Dec. 16.—The senate committee on interstate commerce considered the nomination of Franklin Lane of California to be a member of the interstate commerce commission. It was known to members of the com- mittee that there was opposition to the confirmation of Mr. Lane and therefore it was referred to a sub-com- mittee, which will hear all objections. Nc formal protest against the nomina- tion has been made, although it has been declared by certain Pacific coast senators that they believe the appoint- ment should have been given to a Re- publican. The same view is held by many Eastern senators and it is pre- dicted that the nomination may be held up for some time. It was stated that Senator Cullom desired that no action be taken until he could con- sider the case. The nomination of Lane is to succeed Commissioner Fifer, who announced that he would resign on account of ill health. His health has been better recently and it is rumored that an effort will be made to have him withdraw his resignation and continue to serve. ON HAZING AT Superintendent Sands Confers With Secretary Bonaparte. ‘Washington, Dec. 16.—Rear Admiral Sands, superintendent of the naval academy, during the day had a confer- ence with Secretary Bonaparte and with Rear Admiral Converse, chief of the bureau of navigation, regarding hazing at Annapolis. Admiral Sands, during his talk with the secretary, informed the latter that in the course of a conference at the academy several days ago with him- self every cadet officer and cadet petty officer voluntarily pledged himself to report immediately every case of “in- terference” on the part of an upper classman with a fourth classman and to de everything in his power to assist the superintendent in putting it down.
