BENATE HAS BILL FOR M'KINLEY MEMORIAL ARCH re s Drafted nnd Wi This Week sented to Lawmake WABHINGTON, Jan. 0 lmost three weeks, both houses of con- | @ress will reconvene tomorrow. The prin- cipal ttem on the house program for the weok is the Hepburn Isthmian canal bill, which fs tho special order for Tuesday. No limit has been fixed as to the time for debate upon the measure, but Mr. Hepburn | does not contemplate a prolonged discussion | of it. | It 1s surmised in some quarters, that if the proposition of the Panama Canal company | o sell its property and franchise for $40,- | 000,000, should be made tomorrow as prom- sed, this may have the cffect of opening @ wider fleld of discussion than at first | seemed probable, and if this should prove | 0 be the caso. the bill may be beforo the | house for a longer time than s now con- | templated. Mr. Burton has given notice of a speech | on the bill and 1t is understood that there After a recess of | 4180 will be other specches in criticlsm of | #pecial featuree of the measure, but its friends are very sangulne, not only that the | DIl will pass, but that it will pass speedily. | Expects Short Debate. Mr. Hepburn, the author of the bill thinks that only a few days of debate will bo necessary 1t 18 expected that by the time the canal Bill s disposed of there will be one or | pmore appropriation bills ready for consider- ation by the house. None of the appropria- | tion bills have been passed on by the ap- propriation committee, but both the urgent | deficlency, and the pension bills are in| p forward state, and the expectation is that they will be considered by the committee during the current week. The present in- tentlon is to glve frst attention to the deficiency bill. The estimates for that bill eggregate $12,000,000, and it is not believed that these figures will be scaled down ma- terfally. The senate has no program for the week, and very little business on its calendar, as the reorganization ¢f the senate commit- tees did not take place until just before the holidays. There are a few bridge bills reported, and Senator Morgan's bill for the acquisition of right-of-way for the Nicaragua canal s among the measures in position to recelve attention. Right of Way B, It is not probable that the right-of-way Bl will receive consideration at this time, the disposition belug rather to awalt the gotion of the house upon the general sub- gect and then have the senate predicate its metion on the house bill. If this course should be decided the canal question in the penate will be postponed for a few weeks. The commlittee on the Philippines will ¢ake up the Philippine tarift question very soon, but there is yet no indication as to how much time the matter may consume in committee. Hence there is no probability that the senate itself will be able to reach that question for some time. Senator Frye is engaged on his report In the shipping bill, but Is not yet able to fix the time for its completion. The announce- ment of Senator Sewell's death probably will be made tomorrow, in which event there will be an immediate adfournment for the day. An adjournment from Thurs- day until the following Monday is con- templated. Memor ce's BILL The William McKinley National Memorial Arch assoclation has drafted the follow- ng bill, which will be Introduced in con- gress this week, and supported by a peti- tion signed by the members of the asso- ciation and also the members of the Mc- Kinley = National Memorlal association, formed to erect a monument in Canton, to which the arch assoclation yielded the @eld of popular subscription: A bill to provide a commission to select » aite and prepare plans for u memorial ch in honor of William McKinley, resldent of the United States, 1o be ected In the District of Columbia: Be It enacted, ete.: That the chafrman of the joint commit tee on (he lbrary, the secretary of sta nd the secr of war, be, and are eroby, crea commission to select a site and sec ans and _destgns for emorinl in honor of Willlam Mec- inley, late president of the United States.

WANT PARIS GAS FRANCHISE | that between efeller's App! son Brings Forth Vigorous Op- position to Scheme. PARIS, Jan. 5.—La Liberte has published @ report to the effect that the Rockefellers intend to apply for a concession to supply Ras to the city of Paris. The paper vigor- ously opposes this scheme and says it would be an act of mental abberation to aceept such a proposition, which would be disastrous to ngilonal production and a powerful help to the designs of the Amer- feans, who wish not only to expel foreign industry from their own country, but who seek to supplout foreigners on their own ground. La Liberte says the Rockefellers would not use a ton of French coal and that the granting of this concesslon to them would be a mighty weapon for the realization ot the economic schemes of American imperialism in Europe.

WASHINGTON, Jan (Special.)—Cuba has held its first national election.

That treaty not only separateq Cuba from Spain politically, but it wrenched asunder the commercfal relations, which had existed for 400 years. Up to the outbreak of the Spanish war in 1888, Cuba found a ready market for most of her products in Spain, It is the truth that Cuba has for many years sent many millions of dollars worth sugur and tobacco annually to this country, but after all Spain was the principal mar- ket Having been instrumental in depriv- Ing the nascent republic of an outlet for its products, it is argued with much force that it is the duty of the United States to provide some other fn lieu thereof The principal object of the Cuban re- public should be first ¢ most friendly relations with the American people, who helped us in our hour of need.” Those are the words of the president-elect f the republic of Cuba, They are of wisdom and demonstrate that the people of Cuba have made no mistake in choosing thelr first president. concessions in the matter of dutles upon tobacco and sugar are essential to the lite and the welfare of his people. Effect the republican members of the ways and means committee, whose people are deeply Interested in tobacco growing, recently expressed the opinion to the writer that free trade in tob: between the Uniteq States and Cuba would have a de cidedly beneficial effect upon the tobac trade. But he admitt, that in the tobacco growing sections of Connecticut, New York, Penusylvania and the south, sich an idea would not meet with favor. It will per- haps be far easier to satisfy the tobac growers in the matter of reduction or entire elimination of the duty on Cuban tobaceo than it will be to placate the sugar grows ers, who are so vigorously opposing any reduction of the sugar duty. it is argued that beet growing for sugar is an industry which is rapidly attracting the attention of agriculturists in every agricultural state. Any reduction, what- ever, in sugar duties will not only prove disastrous to the beet sugar industry of the north, it 1s argued, but to the Louistana planters it will mean annihilation. Yet so sound a protectionist newspaper as the New York Tribune, recently published a care- fully prepared article, which seemed to show conclusively that a few million tons of Cuban sugar in our markets, will have no appreciable effect upon the raising of sugar beets, and this line of argument will c to n by bo words of Free Trad One of There are, of course, question. two sides to the The United States wants to con- trol the Cuban market for cereals, meat products, agricultural and other machinery, and, in fact, all kinds of manufactures. To do so concessions must be made to the Re- public of Cuba How to accomplish this without materially injuring any American industry ic the difficult problem which con- fronts the president and those charged with the Juty of framing the commercial treaty to be submitted to the senate for ratification, Man for the Coronation. It would seem to the ordinary citizen a very eusy tusk to select the right man to represent the United States at the corona- tion of King Edward VIL. But the task is by no means an easy one at the present time, equate fund for the purpose matters would be simplificd and a hundred names might be written down, any one of which would be accepted from any standpoint. Jt Is con- servatively estimated that the cost of rep- resenting the United States in London dur- ing the ceremonles will be between $25,000 and $50,000. There are few men suitable for the pleasant duty who could afford such an outlay for the honor of “keeping up the end” of the United States. We have mil- lionalres aplenty who undoubtedly would jump at the chance. But after all some thing miore than mere money is essential to the man who will be chosen. The people of the country generally will undoubtedly endorse any action which con- | gress may take toward appropriating an adequate sum for a proper representation of the United States at the ceremonies at- tendant vpon the coronation. Yet congress while liberal, and often extravagant in all other appropriations is uniformly penurious in providing funds for the diplomatic corps. The salary of an American ambassador of the first rank is only $17,500, with allow- ances for rent of offices and residence of only about one-third of that sum. The United States does not own a legation bullding In any European capital, and in Paris, Berlin, London and St. Petersburg American representatives frequently expend more than thelr entire salarles in rents alone. It has come to be the custom for forelgn governments o own thelr own buildings in Washington and there is not a first-class power in the world whose diplomatic agent in Washington does not receive twice the salary and allowances ac- corded to the American ambassador at the capital from which he comes. This is the reason why very rich men are sent abroad and it |s because of the enormous expense attached to such a mission that the presi- dent will be compelled to send a milllon- aire to the coronation, unless congress pro- vides for the expense Bright Prospects for Irrigntion, There Is at last a bright prospect for wie enactment of a general law to provide for the lrrigation of the lands of the arld and semi-arid reglons. For many years sena- tors and members from the west have been trying to persuade or force congress to make the necessary appropriations. It was only last March that Semator Carter of Montana talked the river and harbor bill to death because the leaders refused to provide for irrigation, and that one act the Montana® sonator did more to cause pers ators than was ever done before, The platforms of the two great parties (Continued on Second Page. ) | ot all, to secure the | He added that tarift | rtainly have much weight in shaping the | | treaty It cougress should provide an ad- | of | 1 investigation by members and sen- | | { | | | | | \ | | | the close of other speeches M. | British | within | tinued ARY 6, 1902 JOHNSON SPEAK akan and Mayor of Cleveln Mass Meeting. 0 a CLEVELAND Jan. 5.—Four people attended pro-Boer meeting 1n Gray's armory this afternoon. There was enthusiastic applause for every cxpression of sympathy and encouragement for the struggling Boers. An unexpected event in the meeting was the appearauce of Hon W. J. Bryan, who is in this city for the day as the guest of Mayor Jobnson. When the committee in charge of the meeting learned that the democratic leader was in the city an invitation was sent to him the mayor to attend and address the Hoth gentlemen accepted and when, towards Hryan and the wholo repeatedly thousand and entered the hall audience rose en masse and shouted the names of “Bryan' son” and greeted them with hurrahs and hand clapping X Upon the stage wore seven natlve who had been in the early flicts of thelr countrymen agalust the lish forces, They were driven from country and now live in Cleveland, meeting continued for four hours cipal address being by Hon When the formal speeches of the after- noon were concluded, Messrs. Bryan and Johnson were called upon to address the vast audlence. Mr. Bryan spoke for about five minutes, during which time he said “Sad will be that day, fallen will be the star of our destiny if the time ever comes when struggling freemen feel that they cannot look upon the people of these states for sympathy." Mr. Hryan said that he was in entire sympathy with the intent of the meeting, eulogized the fighting South African farm- ers and urged them to continue the strug- gle. He said he was glad the had cost England so dearly and that the disastrous cost in money and life would be a much needed lesson for the English government before it would teach a lesson that will not be soon forgotten. Mayor Johnson also spoke briefly and said that he was in full sympathy with the in- tent of the meeting and expressed similar sentiments to those expressed by Mr. Bryan and that the English people generally are are opposed to the war. A resolution called was passed and sent to President Roosevelt. The resolution called attention to the continuance of the war for the last two years and states that It has been characterized on the part of the us o conflict of savagery by the conflscation or destruction of property of inhabitants and non-combatants lying the zone of the war. Attention is called to the denunclation by President Mc- Kinley of the system of reconcentration camps. TRUCE IN MAGISTRATES WAR ers Tricd Before Ofi- Are Not Affected by Fright.

In the morning Magistrate Naumer, one of the hold-over maglstrates, was permitted to enter the court room and make formal protest. After doing.so Naumer left. Devoy then formally convened court and immediately adjourned, there being no business to transact, Bd- ward J. Dooley, one of the hold-over magi- strates, spent the day in the Adams street court. He kept the doors locked and guarded, lest Maglistrate-elect Durack should attempt to break in, but Durack did not appear and Dooley was compelled to amuse himself by going through the form of opening and adjourning court. Magi- strate-elect Brennan, who is in possession of the Manhattan avenue court, went through the same program. Magistrate Higginbotham, an appointee of Mayor Van Wyck and one of the hold-overs, has made himself at home in the Lee Ave- | not left the afternoon. has had an understanding that the courts would , settle the difference, but he himself has decided not to be caught napping. A number of his friends are keeping him company in the court room and have kept him supplied with provisions and bed cloth- g, The doors are barred and members of the party take turns in doing guard duty. While Magistrate Kramer did disturb Higginbotham, he went next to the Lee Avenue poMce station, and company with his clerks, established court there, but there was nothing to do.
