2 . THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY THE POST OFFICE BILL |48NEXATION OF — Hawau Restricting Contracts for Pneumatic Tube Service. COMMITTEE - AMENDMENT ADOPTED Pay. for Service on Star Mail Routes. —— RURAL FREE DELIVERY Socn after the Senate convened today Mr. Money (Miss.) gave notice that Thursday, the 26th instant, at 2 p.m., he would pre- scnt resolutions in memory of Mr. Wal- thal. Corsideration of the post office appropria- tion bill was begun at the instance of Mr. Quay (Pa.). in charge of the measure. The amount carried by the bill as it passed the Heuse of Representatives, was $99,112,300. As reported to the Senate it carried $112 000 more. When the com amendment was reached providing that no additional con- tracts should be entered into for pneu- matic tube service unless authorized by law. Mr. Pettigrew maintained that a pro- vision ought to be inserted making it the duty of the United States to purchase of Individuals or corporations whatever rights oe they might have in the pneumatic tube service. Mr. Quay called attention to the fact that suca right was already reserved to the government. Mr. Pettigrew admitted that the provision was in the law of last year, but no effort had been made to put it im operation. In New York today, he said, the pneumatic tube service was under control of a cor- poration. The plant cost between $400,000 ind $500,000, yet the corporation's compen- sation was more than 3 per cent on $5,000,- 00. He held that it was an outrage upon the people thus to fatten the corporations and build up monopolies. The committee amendment was agreed to. ~An amendment cffersd by Mr. Cockrell Qdo.), providing that the weight of franked official letters might be increased from one ounce to two ounces was adopted. Star Route Subcontracts. Mr. Stewart (Nev.) offered an amend- Ment to the star route section of the bill, providing that no part of the sum appro- priated for such serviae should be paid to any subcontractor and that the Postmas- ter General must require affidavits from contractors that they themselves did the work. The amendment was antagonized by Mr. Money (Miss.), who believed that its op- eration would result in largely increasing the expense of carrying the mails over star routes. Mr. Teller (Col.) urged that it was the speculative syndicate bidders at whom the amendment of Mr. Stewart was aimed. He said if the government would pay directly to the mail carriers the sums given the contractors who sublet their contracts it would receive good service at reasonable rates. Mr. Chandler (N. H.) thought the precise evil that ought to be corrected was the elimination from the equation of the pro- fessional bidders. These syndicate bidders often blackmailed the carriers of the mails, and there ought to be some way of break- ing up this system. He believed the rem- edy proposed by Mr. Stewart was a good one. : Mr. Cockrell (Mo.) declared the adoption of the amendment would result in a loss to the government ef $5,000,000. The amendment was agreed to. Rural Free Delivery. The amendment of the committee strik- ing from the bill the appropriation of $300,- Qo for rural free delivery created con- siderable discussion. Mr. Quay explained that in che opinion of the committee the results of the experiment thus far scarcely warranted Congress in going forward with the experiment. Mr. Chaudler thought the matter ought not to be stricken out entirely. Rural free delivery was a little boon, a little con- venience to the farmer in the rural dis- tricts throughout the country. Mr. Pettigrew inquired whether the ex- tension of free delivery meant the aboli- ticn of the country post offices. Mr. Quay replied that that would cer- tainly be the effect of it. Mr. Pettigrew declared that the farming People of the country were not demand- ing rural free delivery and he regarded it as a humbug. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House of Representativ2s today pass- ed a bill authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Arkansas river at Web- bers Falls, Indian territory, and then pro- ceeded to consider the comfersnce report upon the Alaskan homestead act, which Mr. Lacey (lewa) calied up. After an hour’s debate the conference re- port was adopted by a vot of SG to $. Be- fore agreement was reached speeches were made by Messrs. Lacey (Lowa), who repor:- ed the bill; Shafroth (Colo.), DeVries (Cal.) and Ellis (Or3.), im favor of the dill, und Messrs. Pitney (N. J.), Parker. (N. J.) and Loud (Cal.), against. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) then called up from the committee on labor the bill for the ar- bitration of disputes between railroads ond their employes. ————— TREATMENT OF SAILORS. Hearing on the White Bill by the Senate Commerce Committee. The Senate eommittse on commerce granted a hearing today on the bills before the committee providing for the improve- ™ment of the treatment of sailors at sea. Ther? are two of these bills, one introduced by Senator White, representing the wishes of the sailors, and the other by Senator Frye, wisich is acceptable to the ship-own- ers. The committes today heard Messrs. Geo. Chance, president of the United Labor League, and Rev. Dr. J. Leonard Levy of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union, both of Philadelphia, in support of the White bill, and R. R. Fre>man, ‘Sécretary of the ship- owners’ association of Besten, who opposed this bill in its present form. He said, how- ever, that it would be acceptable if modi- fied in various respects so as to render it tore like the Fry bill. ee MENINGITIS THE CAUSE. Dt the Unexpected Death of Walter Lothrop Woodward iu Paris. Mr. A. M. Lothrop, of the firm of Wood- ward and Lothrop, last evening received a cablegram from Mr. 8. W. Woodward, who is in Paris, stating that meningitis was the cause ofthe death of Walter Loth- Top Woodward, the sixteen-year-old son of Mr. Woodward, whcse sudden demise was @mnounced in yesterday’s Star. It was supposed here, in the absence of any de- talls, that this unexpected ending of the life of the young man must have been the result of an accident. The cablegram from Mr. Woodward further stated that an autopsy had re- vealed the fact that nothing could have been done to avert the sad calamity. As stated in yesterdey’s Star, Mr. and Mrs, Wocdward will bring the remains of their son to this country. « — ~ re Favorable Report to Be Made on the New- lands Resolution. Meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Committce—Not More Than Four Democrats Opposed. The House committee on foreign affairs was called in special session this morning by Chairman Hitt to consider the New- lands joint resolution for thé annexation of the Hawaiian Islapds. It is understood that Chairman Hitt is- sued the call as the result of an intimation frcm administration sources that favorable action upon the resoiution was desired. After discussing the question of annexa- tion for some time, it was develop2d that the sentiment of a majority of the commit- tee was decidedly favorable to action along the lines of the Newiands resolution. Prob- ably not more than four democratic vot23 will be cast against the resolution. It was decided to hold another meeting of the committee next Tuesday. and vote upon the question of reporting the propos? legislation to the House. The Resolation. The Newlands r2solution, which was of- fered late yesterday afternoon, provides for the confirmation of the cession by th: Ha- watiaa republic of all rights of sovereignty over the islands and their dependencies and of cession and transfer to the United States of all public property and all its rights and appurtenances, assumes the Hawaiian pub- lic debt to not exceeding $4,000,000, prohibits further immigration of Chinese and ap- points five commissioners, at least two of whom shail be residents of Hawaii, to rec- ommerd necessary legislatien. The reso- lution declares the islands and their de- pendeacies “hereby annexed as a part of the territory of the United States and sub- ject to the sovereign dominion thereof.’ Special laws are to be enacted by Con- gress for the management and disposition ef public lands and all revenues or proceeds therefrom, except lands used or occupied for civil, military or naval purposes of the United States, or local government use, are to be used solely for the benefit of Ha- waliian inhabitants for educational or ores purposes. Pending congressional provision for government of the islands, the present government officers of Hawaii are to con- tinue under the direction ef the President of the United States subject to removal by him. Existing Hawaiian treaties with other countries are to immediately cease, being replaced by those between the United States and foreign nations. Municipal leg- islation of the islands, uniess enacted for the fulffllment of the treaties extinguished or contrary to our Constitution, remain in force until otherwise determined. Pend- ing legislation extending our customs laws, the existing customs relations of the is- lands remain unchanged. The assumption ef the public debt lawfully existing at the date of the exchange of the passage of the resolution includes amounts due to de- positors in the Hawaiian postal savings bank, the Hawaiian government, however, continuing to pay the interest on the debt while the existing government and its commercial relations are continued. The Chinese exclusion paragraph prohibits the admission of Chinese into the United States from Hawaii. To carry out the resolu- tion $100,000 is to be appropriated. Representative Wm. Alden Smith of Michigan vigorously presented a number of substantial reasons for prompt action by this government, characterizing the past policy of our government regardins island ownership in the West Indies and in the Pacifis near the isthmus as “short-sighted and unwise.” He claimed that it is due to the American people to take immediate action, ami he advocated a prompt favorable report. Representative Clark of Missouri sug- gested that there were many difficulties involved fn the annexation of the island, and he depreeated what he esserted was departure from the historical position r garding territorial ownership outside the continent now occupied by the American peop'e. Representative Newlands, the anthor of the bill, urged many advantages to be gained by ownership of the isiands in th Pacifis growing out of the present difficul- ties in the Philippines. Representative Pierson of North Carolina. Representative Berry of Arkansas, Repr. seutative Adams of Pennsylvania, Repr sentative Howard of Georgia and Repr sentattive Dinsmore of Arkansas took th principal part in the discussion. It is und=rstood that if there should be a report from the committee in favor of an- nex{ng Hawaii the Speaker will not inter- bes? any objection. -——_—_ -.+____ WINNERS TODAY.

PARIS, May 5.—The Eclair says negotia- tions are pending between the United States and Great Britain which will result in the latter supporting the former if other powers favor Spain by attempting to stop the war before the United States has re- ceived satisfaction. The United States, it is added, has prom- ised in return.to capture the Canary Is- lands and cede them to Great Britain. —_ Steamship Arrivals. At Hamburg—Patria, from New York.

CLOSES WITH A DIRE THREAT Disturbances Continue at Various Points Throughout Spain. TROOPS FIRE. ON RIOTERS MADRID, May 5.—The Imparcial iv commenting upon the speech which the Marquis of Salisbury delivered yesterday at the annual meeting of the Primrose League, in London, says: “His bitter words will arouse the indigna- tion of all lovers of justice. Lord Salis- bury voiced the theory that ‘might is right.’ One may extend a parallel of powerful and weak nations in the following manner: “There are conscienceless nations which employ ironclads as the bandit uses the knife. There are nations which sacrifice their aspirations to justic> and pride of race. The strong powers must beware of the despair of those they desire to despoil. hese powers: are preparing a terribl> close of the nineteenth century. At both Wash- ington and London the fact is solemnly proclaimed that robbery is legal.” Disturbances Continue. The disturbances, caus:d by the high price and scarcity of foed, continue in the Spanish provinces. There have been fre- quent conflicts between the rioters and the civil guards, and looting and shooting are reported from various points. At Barcelona there has been a renewed run on the bank, the holders of notes de- manding silver. A mob of about 8,000 striking miners has made a tumultuous demonstration at Mur- cia, capital of the province of that name, thirty miles from the port of Carthagena. They shouted “Death to the thieves,” “Down with the taxes,” attempted to set fire to the railroad depot and other build- ings, and then began a movement toward Carthagena. A strong foree of troops, however, prevented the rioters from mov- ing on th2 port. A number of men were wounded. Carthagena is Threatened. Disturbances are also threatened at Car- thagena, where martial law has been pro- claimed. Similar scenes have occurred at Ovideo and Leon and at a number of other towns where factory hands have struck work. The strikers are parading the streets, de- manding cheap bread and stoning houses. The steps taken by the authorities have resulted in the restcration of peace at Mal- aga, where the British steam yacht Lady of Clemell was recently stoned and driven out of the harbor. It appears that the Malaga mob thought she was an American veesel. Import Daty Suppressed. The bill iatroduced in the cortes to pro- hibit the exportation of corn, flour, rye, maize, potatoes and fruits, and suppress- ing the duty on the importation of those articles, ts intended to checkmate the speculators who, cwing to the enormous bremitm on exchange, now 111 per cent, commenced izamense expportations of pro- duce, against which they negotiated bills in foreign markets. These exports have created the scarcity of food which is largely responsible for the rioting throughout Spain. Admiral Camara will take command of the Cadiz fleet on Friday. E The government is greatly disappointed at the length of the debate in the cortes. THE PROGRAM UNCHANGED Distiict Regiment of Volunteers to Go Into Camp Monday. Speculation as to the Official Roster— ‘The Men Betng Drilled in An- ticipation of Call, There is ro change in the National Guard situation today. According to the program which has been mapped out, and which was published jn The Star, the Dis- trict of Columbia Volunteer Regiment will go into camp at the Soldiers’ Home at an early hour Monday morning. Secretary of War Alger wiil sign an order to this effect Saturday in time to give Gen Harries, who is to serve asthe colcnel of the new regiment, time to !ssue the necessary or- ders. as has been stated, the regiment will be composed of twelve companies of the mini- mum strength of seventy-seven men each, including the non-commissioned officers. There has never been an official list of the commissioned officers of the volun- teers. The names of the officers have been suggested, but they are Mable to change. The officers, with the compantes selected, will be published with the order for the regiment to go into camp when it is is- sued by General Harries Saturéay. - Practically Deserted. The headquarters of the National Guard on G street have been practically deserted today, only matters of a routine nature incident to the equipment of the men ment shall be the best, so far as officers whom it fs quite certain will accompany the regiment have been in consultation with General Harries today. ‘The general is determined that the regi- ment shall be the best so far as officers and men are concerned that can be. picked from the National Guard, and he is work- ing hard to this end. He frequently ad- vises with his. officers on this score. The officers and men generaly express the greatest confidence in the judgment of General Harries and express the belief that he will do what is best under the cir- cumstances. At the. armory there has been great ac- tivity ever since it was definitely learned that the voluntcer regiment will go into camp Monday. Officers are having extra drills of their commands. Non-commis- s:oned officers aro instructing the recruits, and quartermasters cre using their best ef- forts to see that every man is properly equipped. Patriotically Inclined. While there has been some’ little disap- pointment among the enlisted men, all of that has now disappeared, and an air of patriotic confidence is seen on all sides. When the order comes Monday morning for the boys to march they will respond with even greater promptness than they did on the occast when ordered into camp and then back to the armory. ‘The Gettysburg Line.

The Secretary of the Navy has completed arrangements for an carly compHance with ‘@ny suggestion that may be receivei ffom Commodore Dewey regarding the occupa- tion of Manila or the care and treatment of any of the ren of his fleet who may ave been wounded: in the recent navai en- gagement in the Philippines. According to one story, the Secretary sent a cable mes- esage to Hong Kdng yesterday, to be de- livered to Commodore Dewey at the first Opportunity, acquuintirg him with plans of the government for the immediate dispatch of troops and am-nunition in case he needs them. The greatest anxicty is felt as to the cas- valties sustained. by Commodore Dewey's fieet. From the stubborn defense made by the Spaniards, it is feared that they man- aged to inflict severe damage upon the American vessels, all of which were vul- nerable because of the lack of armor pro- tection. It would be scarcely Iese than a ania if all uf them escaped serious in- jury. if Commodore Dewey has lost a considera- ble portion of his force, it is feared he will be embarrassed in maintaining possession of Manila, and it was with this idea that the euthorities arranged to send him immedi- ate reinforcements, AN of the United States vessels at the Philippines were un- Germanned, according to the European standard, and it is not regarded as prob- able, having regard for the safety of tne ships, that he was able to spare any con- siderable number of men to guard the city, supposing it to have surrendered. Troops for Manila. Although arrangements have been made to send troops to Manila definite actior. on that point will be postponed until Com- modore Dewey is heard from. The ar- Tengements for sending the big transports City of Pekin and Australia to Commo- dore Dewey’s relief will undoubtedly be ad- kered to, regardless of the necessity for sending a large force of soldiers to the Philippines. There is no doubt that he is in need of ammunition and other war sup- plies, and that there ts a possibility that the ships may be needed by him for the transportation home of his wounded. To Repair Dewey's Ships. The Secretary of the Navy today ordered Naval Constructor Willlam L. Capps, now at the Union iron works, San Francisco, to Proceed at the earliest moment on the steamer City of Pekin, just chartered by the Navy Department, to me2t Admiral Dewey's squadron at Manila. Mr. Capps will select from the Mare Island force a number of the most experienced and intel- Mgent workmen, who ar3 used in the con- struction of ships, to take with him. In ad- dition he will place on the Pekin a full supply of machine tools, steel plate, and all of the materials that are likely to be need- ed to effect temporary repairs to a ship in distress. ‘The purpose of the department in making this order'-is to put Commodore Dewey’s fleet at the earliest possibie mo- ment into firstitlass condition, repairing all the damages sustained in th> engagement, and in addition to this to raise and repair any of the Spanish ships either surrendered afterward or sunk in the engagement that are capable of being navigated again. Con- structor Capps is said by Chief Constructor Hichborn to be particularly -well quipped for the task assigned to him. He not only stands high theoretically as a naval de- signer, but he ‘has back of this a sound, practical experience, acquired in the Navy Department and supplement>d by several years’ service in the Mare Island navy yard and the Union irom works, where naval ships were under’vonstruction. To Buy Lurge Flonting Docks. Arrangements are being made at the Navy Department for the purchase of two large floating docks, for location at Pensa- cola navy yard and some other suitable point on the Gulf of Mexico, probably Mo- bile, for the repair of any of th2 smailer vessels of Admiral Sampson’s fleet which may be damaged in their operations against the Spaniards. These docks are newly built and have a capacity of 3,500 tons, sufficient for the accommodation of cruisers of th2 Raleigh and Cincinnati class and the smaller gunboats and torpedo vessels. The acquirement of these docks was made upon the recommendation of Chief Constructor Hichborn, who pointed out the gr2at de- sirability of having such facilities near the scene of probable conflict, and in that way avoiding the delays and embarrassments consequent upon kaving to send vessels to the docks at more northern ports. Charleston’s Captain and Crew. Captain H. Glass has been detached from the navy yard, Mare Island, where he was in command of the Pensacola, and assigned to command “immediately” the Charleston.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, May 5.—Higher London Prices and continued confidence in the out- come of the Spanish war combined to pro- duce an exceptionally strong stock market this morning.. The demand from commis- sion houses was better than it has been at any time in several weeks, and the buying for speculative purposes had an undertone of confidence not equaled since last sum- mer’s advance. In addition to the predicted outcome of the Cuban difficulty, the ordinary routine developments of the day were strongly fa- vorable to the upward movement. The re- port of earnings for April and for the last week of that month all reflected substantial increases over the same period one year ago. y The shares were in good de- mand by interests usually active at the gommencenent of extraordinary under- ings. Rock Isiand’s splendid showing fcr the last few months, and particularly the net results‘of its April traffic, have 4 tracted the attenticn of a conservative in- vestment class, and substantial additions to current prices seems probable. In Burlington and St. Paul there were evidences of a good demand also, and this group of dividend-paying properties is like- ly to lead the entire market toward a high- er level. The traction stocks were in better demand, a moderate short interest assist- ing the advance. American sugar was bought in round amounts for a gain of mcre than 4 per cent and predictions of another movement sim- ilar to that which culminated last Septem- ber are freely made. The property is es- Fecially well favored just at this junctur>, and all talk of threatening competition is. likely to subside for the time being. The superior attention of polities since the Maine disaster has had a tendency to belittle the natural value-making events. While earnings and the outlook for indus- trial activity have been passed over as a market incentive the time has now come when the accumulated advantages of a steady growth may be safely emphasized. The vrofessionaj element, as usual, have started the advance, but almost every day since the middle of last week legitimate buying has improved. There is no reason for immediate haste in buying stocks perhaps, but the declines from now on will not prevail, because of the certainty of an increased demand at every concession. The one-sidedness of the news does not preclude a shock, but should one come the market may reflect its disappointment in fractional declines only. eS FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
