8 . 3 i i p~ { b THE BELMONT BILL PASSED. The Substitute For the Senate Measure Goes Throngh the House. ONLY ONE VOTE AGAINST IT. The Bil) Establishing a Department of Agricalture and Labor Agreed to By the Senate With Amendments, House, Wasniveron, Feb, Mr. Reagan of Texas asked unanimous consent for immedi- ate consideration of the senate bill incorpor- ating4he Atlantic & Pacide Ship Railway company. Mr. Anaerson of Kansas objected and the bill was referred to the committe on com merce. . Mr, Willis of Kentucky asked that the house non-concur in the senate amendments tothe river and larbor appropriation bill, but Mr. Anderson also objected to the request (which if granted would fmmediately throw the bill into conference) and the bill was re- ferred to the appropriate comanittee, Mr. Willis immediately revorted it back and on a point of order it was sent to the committee of the whole, Mr. Dingley of Maine presented memorials of the Maine legisiature in favor of lexisla- tion to protect American fislieries and for the passage of the pleuro-pnenmonia bill, Mr. Belmont, from the committe on for- eign affairs, reported the house substitute bill for the senato retaliation bill, and under a special order asked for immediate considera- tion. 1t was finally determined that the de- Dbate should be limited to three hours Mr. Belmont opened the debate by dwelling upon the importance of the subject on whi thie house was now asked toact. The subject of the fisheries was one that had engaged the attention of the government from ats founda- tion, and though from time to time temporary arrangements had settled it, it had now reached a point where it again demanded the serious consideration of the country. 1t was not a mere comuiercial question, simply af- fecting restriction on American fisherm “The fmportant questicn was whether the Jnited States was willing to acquiesce in re- wuated violations of the treaty. 1le briefly Bketched the course of Canadian le gislation and commented upon it in the light of the correspondence recently published between Great Britan and the United States. Soon after the adjournmentof conzress the fishing aason would coummence and 1 self-defense he power of defensive retaliation should be conferred upon the president. There had been no question in the senate as to the ad- yisability of giving this power, but the bill as £t came from the senate was open to certain bjections. Under the treaty of peace we find cortain rights in deep sen fisheries which 0o other nation excent Great Britain herself mpossessed. 1t was but fair to the executive +awhat congress placed upon him, He did not think the senate bill did and therefore fa- vored the adoption of the substitute. Mr. Rice said there should be no party in ghe question. 8 was an important ques- ! on, which affected the entire nation. AVhen he alluded to the' Belmont” bill,he 1 tlone so inadvertently, Jbeing misled by the guct that the report made to~ the house did ot purport to be the report of the committes B o 'tbrolen affairs but the roport of Belniont. I'he senate bill was not a ty bill, but had been passed after careful consideration and able discussion by the votes of senators on th sides of the chamber. Something must e done to protect our national honor. Dur- g the past year hundreds of our vessels had een subjected to search and some of them dad been seized by the Canadian _authorities for touching at Canadian ports for the pur- ose of trade. It wasa very vital question American honor whether any Canadian ofticers possessed such right of Searech and lzure. A vessel named Grover Cleveland had been stopped and a vessel named T F. Bayard had been warned off as suspiciou characters. 1t was important that th hould be power somewhere to protect A mer- can honor when affected in so vital a point as this, The scnate bill provided an effec- o remedy. 1f Great Britain shut out our wessels we could sbut out her fish. 1f she shut the door in our face we would say “‘not pome” when she sent up her card 10 us, e substitute bill suggested a violation of ur treaty obligations with ( jritain which in his mind WS absolutely unnecessary, and not only unnec- essary butimpoliti T'he senate bill covered romptly and effcetively every necessity of he case. We did not wantany war with eat Britain, This gascol ng talk abont war with Great Britain was nonsense. We ould not afford wo go to war with Great ritian, v Mr. Milliken of Maine—Suppose she should &0 10 war with us® Mr. Rice replied ~We would undoubtedly whip her in that event, but there is no nee sity for war, One year of exclusion to Ca- madian fish would bring to an end all the in- uries and outrazes whica were being perpe- rated upon our fishermen. Mr, Davis of Massachusctts spoke in favor of the senate bill and appealed for action which would preserve the interests of the fishermen of New Eneland. Mr, Clements of Georuia stated that the pubstitute was a committee measure and ma- terially different from the Belmont bill and ho regretted that in the discussion of sograve # question as was now pending the tle- man from Massachusetts (Rice), should seek fo give it a partisan tinge, The trouble with Canada had orizinated in what had been called a “‘mere skirmish” about fish, Butit had assumed larger proportions than a skir- sish. ‘T'he American flag had been hauled down and 150 American vessels searched or warned off and the honor of the overnment was involved, Ile contended hat the remedy was better provided for in the substitute than in the senate bill and criticized the Iatter measure for elaiming only the same rights for our fishermen that were accorded to the most tavored nations, “T'he substitute was better framed in this re- spect. Another difference between the two measures was that the house bill authorized the president to stop the coming of locomo- tivesand cars into the United States, ‘The gen- tieman from the northwest should not com- ].m!n of this provision, ‘This was not a ocal questio He hoped the president would not be required to exercise any part of the powers conferred upon him, but when it was proposed to deal with the question on a basis of non-intercourse the government ought not to stop with the mere prohibition of the Inrmnlnf of Canadian fish. Mr, Hill of 1llinois said it was high time to met. Only a few days of this congress yet re- mained. “The senate bill passed a month ago was still befora the’house. It wasa most carefully prepared bill, conferring ample power on the president, Lot the house pass L mow 8o that the British minister might this afternoon cadle to his government that upon this question the Awmerican people are one. . Mr, l):mf,luv of Maine moved to amend the Bubstitute by the addition of a section ren- dering liable to seizure and forfeiture any wessel of foreign nationality found enzazed 0 taking fish of any kind within the warine lines of any warine coasts, bavs, creeks or harbors of the United States, or within a sea, lake or river waters of the United States, A rreed to. ‘The substitute was then asreed to—yeas, ; nuys, 1-—-and the senute bill as thus smended wus passed—yeas, 252; nays, 1 (Dougherty). Mr. Breckeénridge of Arkansas sitbuntted the conference report on the bill making a elose season for mackerel, and it was agreed to. ‘The house then adjourned, Senate.

The sey- eral amendments reported by the senate enmmittee on agriculture to the house bill were agreed_to down to the one providing for the transfer of the signal service bureau 1o the department of agriculture and labor. That led to a discussion. Mr. Morgan moved o amend the am ment limiting It to the “weather servi the signal service bureaun. The consideration of the agricaltural de- partment bill was interrupted to allow the presentation of a messaze from the prosi- dent in relation to the Cutting matter in vhich was referred to the committee relations: and the presentation of the conference report on the pension ap- propriation bill which was agreed to. Mr. Morgan's amendment was agreed to and the section was further amended on mo- tion of Mr, Allison by including in the sub- ate force the second lieutenants now in the seryice of the burean, and by providing that the compensation now paid to employes and enlisted men shall continue as now.

THE MEASURE A RADICAL ONE. A Navy Officer's Opinion as to Who Shonld Supervise the Construc- tion of Coast Defenses— ©Capital News. Fishery Legisiation Probably Killea' WAsHINGTON, Feb, 23, —[Special Telegram to the Ber.]—The house of representativ to-day, by a vote of 133 to 123, practically de- cided that there shall be no retaliatory legis- Iation at thissession of congress. The vote was on the Belmont substitute for the bill which passed the senate four weeks ago, and by this vote the house determined to substi- tute the more radical for the more moderate measure, Belmont wanted absolute non- intercourse between the two countries, and 1o bring this about he was willing to exiend the embargo to the rolling stock of Canadian railways. The debate on the matter extended from 11 o'clock a . m, until 2 p. m. and called torth all sorts of patriotism and gush from the able representatives on the floor. The members from New England were far more moderate in theit demands than those from the southern states. 'Lhie representa- tives from Massachusetts and Maine declared that the fishermen most in- terested did not ask fof the Belmont Dbill, but would be entirely satisfied to apply the same treatment to Canadian vessels that Canadla metos out to those sailing under the United States fla But the house was not disposed to pay any attention to the wants of New England, and the northwest, which is directly concerned in the provosition to clude Canadian cars and engines, cut no figure in the controversy. The bill as amended was passed by a vote of 252 to 1. ‘This would seem likea very foreible endorse- ment of the bill, but there is something behind all this. The senate has expressed itself very emphatically upon the original bill and it will certainly not agree to the amendment of the house. The measure will therefore go to a conference committee and the conferees on the part of each house will be instructed to stand out for the will of each body as expressed by the vote and the pros- pect of a compromise is not at all good. It is the weneral belief on the republican side that the administration is opposed to any re- taliatory legislation and that this method has peen adopted to prevent action, while at the same 1ime the country will be led to think that blood is wanted, A NAVY OFFICER O An influential and COAST DEFENSES idely known naval officer, discussing the naval aud coast de- fense bills before congress, said to-day “While there is 8o much talk about our coust defenses it mi ht be well to pay some atten- tion to the manner in which the defenses, if thoy are authorized, shall be operated, The proposition to divide the dutics between the army and navy will never do. It should be one or the other. 1f the defenses are to be afloat consisting of torpedo boats, floatng batteries, submarine mines, otc., the navy shonld have entire jurisdiction, while on the other hand, if the defences consist of fortifi- cations on land, the army should be in charge. ‘There will be trouble if both get their fingers in the ple.

Michigan will in all probability get the place. THE TE PRESID] V. r the nost interesting subject of dls- sion among members of the senate at tho present time is the canyass going on among republican senators in the interest of the two leading candidates for president pro tem. 1t is learned that Senator Sherman resigned the presidency in the interest of Senator George K. tloar, and that be promised to set up the pins for that gentleman, but Mr. Ingalls, of Kan learned of the scheme and made up his mind that the gentleman rrom Massachusetts should not have a waik- over, In consequence there has been a very spirited contest over the place to-day, The friends of Mr. Ingalls have been very active in his benalf ana'it is said that he has more votes pledged to him than Mr. [oar has, The latter has spent the duy buttonholing repub lican senators and endeavoring to secure pledizes from them, but many decline to com- mit themselves, The noniipation wifl of course be made in the eaucus which has been called for to-morrow. It is thought that in the event of an even division of votes be- tween the twa leaders Mr. Allison, of lowa, miay bo selected as a compromise candidate, Mr; Ingalls’ most ardent supporters propose fo lkeep him on the floor, where he ean mnke better use of his sarcastic tongue than in the presiding officer’s chair. On the otlier hand, the same gentlemen would like to got Mr, Hoar on theshelf in order *to cut off de- bate,” as they express These consider- ations may lead to the eléction of Mr. Hoar, not s0 much because of the preference of o majority of his party allies as because of the desire of the majority to put bim out of the way. OT LIKELY TO BE REPEALED, ‘There s very little likelibood of the passage of tho bill to_repeal the pre-emption, timber culture and desert land act. The two houses are widely apart, The chief point of differ- ence is on the elghth section, which the senate added to the bill, which provides that when an entry is cancelled by the commis- sioner of the land oflice the entryman shall have redress in civil courts, For s0me unex- plained reason Cobb and Payson are much onposed to this, although it would seem to be only justice that the comn- r!ullmllt should” have & echauce to be heard by a court of competent jursidiction, Major Strait, of Minnesota, who'is the prin- clpal opponeit on the commitiee (o the hotise bill, said to-night that the senate will never recede from its position so long as Cobb re- uiains one of the conferces, He thought if some one else less objectionable than Cobb be substituted there would be a good pect of reaching an acrecment, but the er s not disposed to substitute any one and the bill will probably . Representative Hugh Price, of Wiscou- sin, the young man who 18 servibg oot the unexpised terin of bis father, has very broad views on this subject. e says he has had experience in land entries in several states and Lie has yet to find the first case of fraud uader the pre-emption laws: in any of the acricultural distriets, HE s’ will- ing that the ' act should be repealed, but he cannot see how it 1s woing to protect the public domain from fraud so fong as the howestead law remains as it is, a8 theiv is as much chance for fraud under one as the other. “I'he bill is of great importance wharever the United States bhas land subject to entry, but it is now prac tically hopeless to try to reach an agreement before March 4 The opponents of re- peal say that if a bill -can be grecd to - which would - segrega the timber and wineral lards from the publ domaiu aad offer theui for sale at cost that there would be no further necessity for the § repeal of the pre-cuuption law, as it {5 only in timber pre-emptionfand mineral lands that frands are charged, amd there is less than 9 per cent of fraudulént #ntries in the agricul- tural lands on the fpublfe domaia, PENSIONS ARANTED, Penslons were tod v granted for Jehn C, Smith, Table l(m'l% Neb., and Thomas M.

The heavy train attached and the high speed attained carried it at a rapid rate down the heavy approaching Red Oak. There were two sections of the same train standing on the main lin and the mowul plowed —under the caboose of the one ahead of it and Iy knocked it into splinters. The nex box car, loaded with merchandise ried on the top of the mogul, clea smoke stack, dome, cab and everything in its way. Six or eight cars aliead were badly used up. The tail end of the train was slorped near where the train broke in two, and was not hurt.

The International Distillery Enjoined DEs Moivgs, Ia., Feb. 23.—|Special to the Ber.]—Judee Coarad of the district court to- day granted a permanent injunction agai the International distillery, restraining it from the manufacture of liquor for any pur- pose other than medicinal, culinary and sac- ramental, the exceptions allowed by the pro- hibitory law. The suit was brought at the instance of the state tem- perance alllance and was first heard for a temporary injunction by Judge Given, who refused the application. The case was then brouzht before Judge Conrad and he grants the writ. 1t will o to the supreme court. The defendant, while conceding the manufacture for other purposes than ex- cepted in the prohibitory law, claimed that all of the products of such manufacture were shipped and sold outside the with which transaction it was claimed that the state had no right to interfere, it being inter- state commerc The court gave its decision on a literal interpretation of the prohobitory statutes, holding on this point as follows: ‘The law reads that parties have the right to manufacture or buy and sell intoxicating liquors for mechanical, medicinal, culinary and sacramental purposes only. The word “only” has a plain and obvious meaning aud restriets the manufacturer, buyer and seller, unless some necessity exisis for glving it 4 different meaning, 1018 « rule that the platn and obvious meaning must be given toall the words of a_statute unless they admiv of a different meaning, By giving to the word “only” this obvious meaning, manufactur- ers are absolutely prohibited ftom manufac- turing any intoxicating liquors except for the purposes named, and the manufacture for any other purpose, whether the product is to bo sold in lowa or in foreign states, is a violation of the law. careful study of the whole law discovers no word, paragraph or section in conflict with such a_construction. “The luteruational distil isonc of the largest in the United States and the only one 1o Towa.

La Blanche is tricky and contemptibly airty m his tactics and appeared to per- fection 1n this line 1n his match with Jack Hanley at the exposition annex last night. These two pugilists met for the first time in what was announced as a scientific glove contest. There were about 800 patrons of the sport present Hanley was soconded by Arthur Rothery, La Blanche was seconded by Paddy Nor- ton. Captam O'Malley acted as time keeper for La Blanche and Jack Nugent for Hanley. Charles Moth was chosen refereo. Ha |l|-I appeared in green trunks and La Blanche in white, Both men were loudly eheered and an exciting contest was looked for. When time was called La Blanche openod with his rushing lead, but was cleverly stopped by Hanley. ‘The round assumed a hippo- drome_appearance for a few seconds, when Hanley, by a neat counter of one of the Marine's " rushes, sent him to the floor. La Blanche sprang to his feet in- stantly and made a rush at Hanley, grabbing him around the body and fore: ing him against the wall, making a rank foul that was overlooked by the referee, In the second round Hanley took the of- fensive and had the best of the match throughout the round, which was a protty one. In the third round the Marine made a rush and by another foul pushed Hanley to the floor. The round closed with some hard hitting, in which honors were easy. The fourth round opened with a bugging spell. When the men were scparated La Blanche made a rush at Hanley, but was stopped by a clip under the chin that aggered him. To overcome Hanley's ge the La Blanche deliberately clinched with him and after several trips succeeded in throwing him to the floor, Hanley’s seconds and a large number of the spectators joined inacry of foul, which was rded. In the face of this indignant protest the Marine opened the fifti round by trying to trip Hanley, but was thrown to the floor him- self L with a resounding whack., The sixth round was a clever one, both men doing good work. The match gave the spectators an opportunity, however. to judge of the promises of the two men. Wiien La Blanche forgot himself enough to be decent the contest was a good one, the best in fact that has been given in the annex. Hanley was able to more than meet the Marine’s rushes, and fully confirmed the opinion long held by his friends that in a light to a finish he would be the victor. The match was declared a draw. Preceding the main event there were a number of bouts between loeal pugilists which were well received.

Having tried num- berless so:called remedies, and physicians of all echools, without relief, there seems to be no hope. Many such have as a last re- sort tried Athlophoros, and to- their sur- p rise and joy have found that it was asaf, sure and quick cure, Athlophoros is no an experiment, thousands have been curedy by its use and they testify as to its value. G. W. Aakes, Filley, Mo, says, “Ath- lophoros has done for my rheumatism than anything I have tried. I have paid out three or four hundred dollars for doctors and other medicines, but nothing did me any good until found Athlophoros.” F. L.
