FRYE OPENS DEBATE President Pro Tem of Benate Begin Argoment on BShipping Bill SAYS IT 1S PURELY PROTECTIVE MEASURE Oommeroe Only American Jndustry Not Fortified by Legislation. NEGLECT HUMILIATING AND DARGEROUS WASHINGTON, March 3.—The sel day began consideration of what is pop- ularly known as the shipping bill—a meas- ure to provide for ocean mail service be- tween the United States and forelgn ports and the common defense; to promote com- merce and to ancourage deep sea fisherles. Mr. Frye of Maine, chatrman of the com- mittee on commerce, made the opening statement In support of the bill. He oc- cupled the floor nearly two hours. The policy which has been applied, he sald, to American {ndustries, with such beneficlent Tesults, had not been applied to the ship- ping industry. The ‘result of this short- sighted poliey had been the decadence of the American merchant marine and the consequent humiilation of Americans en- gaged in the shipping industry. Mr. Frye's address was largely technical, but his argument was listened to with close attention by senators on both sides ©f the chamber. Prior to the conclusion of the shipping bill many mitor measures were passed. Changes Territory Boundary. Bills were passed changing the boundaries between ' the southern and central districts of the district courts of Indian Territory; providing for minimum punishments in certain cases in Indlan Ter- ritory where Arkansas laws apply; to es- tablish @ marine hospital Savannab, Ga:, &b & cost mot to exceed $200,000; au- thorising the appointment of Allen V.

MANILA, March 3.—Twenty-five mem- bers of the constabulary of Morong encoun- tered eighty well armed insurgents today. The former fled after expending all of their ammunition. Eleven of the constabulary are unaccounted for. The same band of insurgents turned back a commissary wagon, but did not molest the escort of three men. Governor Flores of the province of Rizal, says the members of the band who recently captured Ampil, the president of Cainta, Morong province, were neither Ladrones npr insurgents. He thinks a private feud was at the bottom of the matter. Word has been received that Amplil Is still alive, but under torture and expecting death. As previously set forth in these dispatches, Ampil was an enthusiastic Amerfcan sym- pathizer. A force of constabulary and military are scouring the country, and bands of Insur- geénta and Ladrones are flocking to the island of Leyte. The constabulary officials have been notified of the arrival of a band of malcontents from Bohol and other places. They are well armed and are serving un- der Caplle. An extra force of constabulary will endeavor to handle the malcontents. General Lukban has offered to assist in suppressing the insurgents, if given a cer- tificate that he conducted his share of the war, according to civilized usages. His offer has not yet been considered favor- ably. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AS POPE Leo XIII ix Honored by Impon lee on Silver Anmniversary at Vatiean.

ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY INVOLVED Loud of California Declares Salary System Wil Ulidmaiely Cost Twenty Million Dollars a Year. WASHINGTON, March 3.—The house to- day began consideration of the bill to classify the rural free deMvery service and place the carriers under the contract eys- tem. Only two speeches were delivered, Mr. Loud of California, chatrman of the committee on postoffiegs: and postroads, made the opening argument in favor of the biil, speaking for two and a half hours. Mr. Swanson #f Virginia led the opposi- tion. The debate was interrupted by the pre- sentation of the conference report on the Fhilippine tarift bill. Mr. Payne, the ma- Jority leader, declined to allow the minority more than thirty minutes to discuss the report and this offer was rejected. A fili- buster followed and the house adjourned after the previo question on the adop- tlon of the report had been ordered. Most Important Bill of Seasion, Mr. Loud, in opening the debate, declared that in bis opinion the question involved was of more importance than any which would come before the present congress. Upon the outcome would depend whether the rural free delivery service would cost ultimately $60,000 or $20,000,000 per annum. The rural free delivery service up to this time, he said, had been a political one and it had given many members of congress their first taste of the sweets of public patronage. He traced the history and rapid growth of the service and its cost, declaring that it was the most extrava- gant in the public service; at the inception the carriers recelved . $300 per annum. They now received $600. If the salary sys- tem was continued there would eventually receive $800 or $900. At the present time $860,000 was being spent for the supervisory force. G Mr, Loud charged that a promise had gone forth that if the salary system was continued the members of cougress would control the appointment of carriers in the future, as in the past. Present System Best for Ruralists. Mr. Swanson of Virginia argued that the present system would be more advantag eous to the rural communities than the contract system. He contended that if the service were made effective it would eventually become self-supporting. . Mr. Swanson contended that the contract system would allow the building up of & political machine by per- mitting the department to pass on the trustworthiness of the bidders. He said that the present system by which demo- cratic congressmen were allowed to name balf the earriers in their district, should were allowed no voice in the selection of carriers. He belleved the contract sys- tem would take the service out of pol Up Report. When Mr. Swanson comcluded the com- mittee rose, and Mr. Payne, the majority leader, called up the conference report on the Philippine tarift bill. He explained the compromise effected by the conferees. Mr. Richardson of Tenpessee, the minor- ity leader, demanded to be allowed to take the floor In his own right to discuss the conference report, but Mr. Payne declined to yleld the floor for that purpose., He refused to grant more than thirty minutes 0 the minority. This profter Mr. Rich- ardson declined, whereupon Mr. Payne de- manded the previous question. On a division the vote stood, ayes, 73; nays, 62. Mr. Richardson made the point of no quorum. The speaker was able to count only 147 members, mot a quorum, and Mr. Richardeon moved an adjourn- ment. The motion was lost, 67 td 81, and there being no quorum present the speaker di- rected the clerk to, call the roll. The previous question was orderédd, 106 to 82, and at 4:56 the house adjourned. DEALING IN FUTURES ILLEGAL Statut Court of Illinots Are Up- held by Decision of Supreme Justices. WASHINGTON, March 3.—The United States supreme court today afirmed the de- cree of the supreme court of the state of Tilinols in the case of Alfred G. Booth agaiust the State of Illinols, involving the alidity of the state statute imposing a ne of from $10 to §1,000 for dealing in futures. The decision of the state court upheid - the law, and today's opinion sus- talned that decision. The opinion wa banded down by Justice Fuller and was dissented from by Justices Brewer and Peckbam. ‘The lllinols law iavolved is section 180 of the criminal code of the state, and it pro- vides that whoever contracts to have, or §ive to himselt or another, the option to sell or buy at & future time, any grain or other ¢ommodity, or forestalls the market by spreading false rumors to influence the price of commadities or corn, shall be fined not less than $10 mor more than $1,000, or confined in the county jail not exceeding one year, or both. In delivering the opinion of the court Justice Harlan said that Booth had bees Indicted “on the charge of violating the statute so far as it related to options to buy grain or other commodities at & future time.” He was found guilty and adjudged to pay & fine of $100.

WASHINGTON, March 3.—In conference with members of congress today President Roosevell expressed his disapproval of the civil service provision of the bill creating & permapent census bureau, which has passed both houses, and is now before him.

The case Involves the right to construct a dam at Eiephant Buttes in New Mexico un- der the treaty with Mexico prohibiting the placing of any obstruction in the river cal- culated to prevent tlhie mavigation of the stream. The case was heard by this court In 1809 and remanded for the purpose of making inquiry as to'the effect the dam would have on, the mavigability of the stream below the dam. Justice Harlan handed down the opinion of the court today and he intimated that the territorial courts had acted too precipi- tately in refusing to grant more time for the taking of testimony in accordance with the request of the United States for such extension. He dld not, however, reverse the verdict on this ground, but on the gen- eral principle that it is an equity proceed- ing, affording the widest latitude in such matters. “We cannot,” he eaid, “resist the convic- tion thit 1t we proceed to a final decree on the present record great injustice may be done to the United States as well as to all Interested in preserving the navigability ot the Rio Grande.” Under the order of the court both sides are to have the opportunity to adduce fur- ther testimony.

RECEIVER QUITS HURON LAND OFFICE John West So Resignation Gives Dakota Delegatio tional Opportunity to Be- stow Patronage. (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 3.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Acting Adjutant General Col- ward has passed upon the assignments of the varfous companies of the Twenty-second United States infantty, which arrived in San Francisco February 2 and are now at the Presidio recuperating from their long voyage from Manila. As heretofore stated in The Bee, this regiment is to be assigned, with the exception of one company, to forts in Nebraska, with headquarters at Fort Crook, but today the War department wi unable to state who might be assigned to command at the other posts. The assignment by companies of the Twenty-second infantry as at present | planned is as follows: Headquarters, Fort Crook—Companles B, F, H I, K, L and M. Fort Robinson—Compaules A and D. Fort Niobrara—Company B. Fort Logan H. Roots (Ark.)—Oume’ com- pany. The four companies of the Tenth infantry now at Fort Crook upon being relieved | by the Twenty-second will proceed to San Francisco to prepare for embarkation to Manil John Westdahl, receiver of the land office at Huron, 8. D., has resigned. The reason is thought to be that he believed he wa: not under consideration by the South Da- kota delegation for reappointment. He first eent in his letter of resignation to the delegation and followed it up today by & telegram asking that he be relieved im- ‘mediately. Evidently a Mi Westdahl was probably laboring under misapprehension as to the existing con- ditions, but as there are a great many patriots in South Dakota who desire pub- Mo office it is believed that the congres- sional delegation from that state will have no difculty in selecting his successor. The term of register and receiver of land office at Huron expired last January, but as there was no immediate necessity for & change the present incumbents were per- mitted to continue in office. The register of the office at present is ‘C. A. Blake. It is understood that an agreement bas been reached to change botb positions, and an- nouncement of this fact may be made within & few days, when the delegation gives out the names of the successors to Westdahl and Blak A. W. Wilmarth of Huron is a candidate for register, while Harvey J. Rice of the same city is a candidate for receive seems safe to predict that Blake will not be reappointed as register, and it s pos- recelyer. AS by Blake, it is much doubted if the delegation has agreed upon a man and it may be that a compromise candidate for register will be selected. Seeks to Correct West Point Record, C. J.

In the first place, I do not know whether or not Columbia will be in com- mission this season, but if so it would, in my opinion, be a far better test to race Shamrock II a nst Columbia with atter vessel's own skipper and crew of Americans, and If you wish to do this I will accept a charter of SBhamrock 11 as you 80 kindly offer, but 1 will let you have the use of it during the coming season without charge on_ the condition that you fit it out in racing trim-and pay all ex- Penses for the racing season. I do not wish to dlscourage you, but I feel certain that Columbia would lick you. 1 am, Yours faithfully, THOMAS J. LIPTON, Mr. Post sald that to race both boats with American crews would not decide whether British or American yachtsmen were superior. Ho maintained, he sald, that American crews could get better re- sults from Shamrock amd that an English crew would get less spoed from Columbia. He believed that under these conditions Shamrock would win. He sald he would send a representative to London to com- plete arrangements hwith Sir Thomas Lip- ton.

His train arrived at the depot of the Chicago & Alton at 6:30 and from there, after he had been formally welcomed by Mayor Harrison and the members of the general reception committee, Prince Henry rode through streets packed with a dense multitude, whose cheers compelled the distinguished visitor to bow continually to right and left. The prince arrived in the city at a time when the streets were to the utmost, it being the hour whem many thousands of people were leaving thelr places of business for the day, and it seemed that nearly every one walked over to Jackson boulevard to await the arrival of the prince, for the entire dlstance the sldewalks were solidly massed with peo- ple so closely packed that it was with the greatest difficulty that the line of police men drawn up in frent of for the entire distance could nfim he people from crowding over into the streets and encroaching upon the line of carriages. The people were willing enough to behind the officers, but the trouble was that there was not enough standing room for all. Recelves Flattering Welco: No more flattering welcome could have been extended any visitor, and it came not so much from the officials of the eity as from its citizens, Every building along the line of his route from the depot to the Auditorfum hotel was gally decked with bunting, the prevalling scheme belng the American and German flags, intertwined With the black eagle of Prussia over all.
