RAPACIOUS SCHEME OF LEGISLATION Warns Congress Not to Entangle Country in Endless Fight or Kill Canal by Adopt- ing Spooner Amendment. Proposition WASHINGTON, June 7.—In making & wholesale attack on the Panama canal proposition Mr. Mitchell of Oregon today in the senate declared this enterprise to De the most rapacious scheme of legisla- tive corruption, journalistic venality and goclal and political exposure ever uncov- ered in any age or country. He vehemently condemned the launching of this enterprise as a stupendous gold brick scheme and de- nounced the idea of the United States lend- ng its name to a concern ‘‘whose history for the last ten years had shoeked the eensibilities of mankind. The Oregon senator expressed the opinfon that the mdoption of the Spooner amendment would have the effect of postponing any canal leg- tion whatever Mr. Mitchell warned congress that no better way could be found to defeat the eonstruction of any canal than to adopt the Spooner amendment, as the United States could have no conpection with the Panama route without becoming involved in the in- tricacles of the French courts, from which ft would find it impossible to extricate it- self. He declared that any connection this ‘country might have with the Panana prop- beition would result in the defilement of the government. For Forest Reserve. At the conclusion of routine business in the senate today Mr. Depew of New York sddressod the senate in advocacy of the bill appropriating $10,000 for the purchase of 2,000,000 acres of land for a national forest reserve in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgla, Alabama and Tennessee.

SIXTEENTH AND HARNEY STREETS a d States. ‘The bill, he sald, was for the purpose of protecting the American manufacturer, the American producer and the American farm- er, which protection was needed all the more since the formation of the shipping combine by Mr. Morgan. As the situation is, sald he, “the American shippers are in the clutches of a devil fish of a monopoly, from which we ought to pray every even- ing before going to bed to be delivered.” The bill was then laid aside. Mr. Mitchell takiug up the canal question, handled without gloves the proposition to build the canal by the Panama route, and incidentally the Spooner amendment. By the adoption of this proposition, he sald: “The United States would be tacking on to one of the greatest frauds and pleces of corruption known since the world began.” He could not belleve, he eaid, “‘that the senate proposed to consider serlously a proposition which would involve the United States In a legal controversy for a hundred years. I want the senate to know the facts and to determine whether we really shall take up this rotten concern across the sea.” Mr. Mitchell expressed the opinlon that the enactment of the Spooner amendment would result in the postponement of the beginning of the canal project as the pre dent probably would have to make an inde- pendent investigation of the subject before he reached a decision. He urged that con- gress ought to accept the responsibility of selecting the routes, and not turn that re- sponsibility over to the president. He suggested the possibility that if the United States should adopt the Panama route some other nation would construct a canal by the Nicaragua route, thus cre- ating competition that would be disastrous to the United States. Most Rapacious Scheme in History. rimli ainet the United Mr. Mitchell denounced the idea that the United States should lend its name to the Panama enterprise, whose history during the last ten vears had shocked the sensi- bilities of mankind. He declared that it was the “most rapacious scheme of legis- lative corruption, journalistic venality and soclal and political exposure ever uncovered iu any age or country He asserted that the launching of the Panama canal enterprise was “one of the greatest farces ever witnessed on earth, either In ancient or modern times,” and that the whole project was ““one of the most stupendous gold brick games ever imposed upon a people." Mr. Mitcbell declared thet by the Spooner amendment aud the views of the minority of the canal committes the United States not only was invited to participate fn a glgantic lottery scheme but would be com- pelled by French law controlling the canal's construction, to purchase in France all raw materials entering into the canal. He poloted out that the new Panama Canal company had entered into obligations to comstruct the canal and he insisted that the United States, it it should purchase the Papama Canal company's rights and properties, would be the legatee of all obli- gations of the French company, including those to the stockholders of the old Panama canal company. In view of all the condi- tlons he did not think & wise man would ::v:n $40,000,000 1n & proposition of that 1o, in conclusion Mr. Mitchell declared that it he were casting about for a way to de- feat the construction of am isthmian canal be could find no better way than by support- ing the Spooner amendm: He was satis- fled the Panama canal proposition could not be touched without defilement or even looked at without loatbing. It was, he sald, & sink of inlquity in which the United States should not approach. House nti-Anarchy BilL ‘WASHINGTON, June 7.—The house spent the entire day voting upon amendments to the anti-anarchy bill, but all falled except one proposed by Mr. McCall of Massachu- setts, to strike from the anarchist sece tion the word “‘assault” where It 1s coupled with “killing" in the {inhibitlon against conspiring for the killing of the chief mag- istrate of a foreign country. After the bill bad reached the last parilamentary stage before passage Mr. De Armond Missouri moved to recommit. The quorum failed at this point and the house was compelled to adjourn without final action. Nominated.

FRANCE OVER CABINET CRISIS Republic Burvives the Oritical Btage and 8tarts Out with New Plans, PRESS DOUBTFUL OF THE NEW MINISTRY Rouvier's Presence nas Saviour of Country’s Finance is Assuring, but Still Ordinary Survival of Cabinet is Questioned, PARIS, June 7.—France has passed through a cabinet crisis and the Combes ministry has been formed without a ripple of excitement among the general public or even in the lobbles of the chamber of depu- ties. Senator Combes was the first name mentioned as a successor to M. Waldeck- Rousseau and immediately after the lat- ter's resignation as premier became officlal and as soon as M. Brisson announced that he could not form a cabinet, a Combes ministry became a certainty. As was in- evitable after the verdict of the country| and the unequivocal vote in the chamber of deputies in the election of Bourgeols as president the new cabinet was chosen al- most entirely from among the radicals, M. Rouvier being the least advanced member of it. Mm. Doumergu and Pelletan, repre- sent the radical socialists and M. Mougeot, the minister of agriculture, represents the radical left. M. Combes, Delcpsse, Troull- lot, Valle, Chaumie and Maroujles are re- publican radicals. Personnel of Ministry, The new cablnet is constituted as fol- lows Premier, minister of the interlor and minister of publie worship, Senator Combes. Minister of justice, Senator Valle. Minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse. Minister of war, General Andre. Minister of public works, M. Maruejouls, Minister of public instruction, Senator Chaumie. } Minister of marine, M. Pelletan. Minister of colonies, M. Doumergu. Minister of commerce, M. Troulllot. M. Berard, a member of the Chamber of Deputies, will become under secretary of Dosts The ministerial declaration will announce that the task which will call for most of the attention of the government and Par- liament will be strajghtening out the coun- try's finances, and will dwell on the ne- cessity of economies and reforms calcu- lated to re-establish the budget equill. brium. The cabinet, therefore, will intro- duce a measure providing for & more just, proportional distribution of the taxation and it also desires to reduce the term of military service. The ministerial declaration will, further: more. render homage to the late Waldeck- Rousseau ministry, and the policy of re- publican defense, which the recent elec- tions so strikingly endorsed. The new cablnet will continue this policy and will “baffle, if necessary, the machinations of the coalition which vainly sought to divert the ememy from its duties and which asso- clated in its schemes in the republic section of the clergy, which forgets its dutles.” M, Combes, Premier. M. Combes, physically, s the smallest member of the cabinet, but in spite of his 67 years, he Is very active and energetic and Mves modestly near the senate house. He is president of the democratic group in the scoate. The positions he bas held, chairman of the committee of the law of assoclations and reporter of the bjll on econdary education, marked him for the parliamentary circles, he has selected his principal colleagues from among the best known and qualified radical leaders. In the section of M, Delcasse, Rouvier and Chaumle, he counterbalanced the cabinet with a moderate element that will guarantee it against the adventurous fulfiliment of the drastic innovations which occurred largely in the electoral promises of several of the neéw ministers. These promises, it carried out, would heap a hundred millions on the annual expenditure, whereas the policy de- mwanded by the majority of the country and promised in the ministerial declaration, s one of serious retrenchment in order to retrieve the already embarrassed financial situation. Rouvier Treasury Watchdog. The presence of M. Rouvier who enters the cabinet in the role of the savior of his country's finance, is distinctly reassuring although many politicians question whether the divergent views of M. Rouvier and the advanced radicals promises a long life for the minstry. The Temps says: The future will show whether the understanding between M. Rouvier and his colleagues will last and suffice to restore the country to the calm it needs and preserve and develop its pros- perity. The moment bas come when & policy of sound finance is the beginning and end of all French politics. The Journal Des Debats which repre- sents moderate opinion thinks a confllot is near and inevitable and says: The policy of the ministry as outlined is a ne- gation appeasement. We are promised a brutal application of the law of associations and the suppression of liberty of teaching. We have serious reasons to believe the ministry will not last three years, as did its oredecessor. DRAMATIST WORKS UP CLIMAX Clyde Fiteh Makes the Hit of His Life in a Race with an En- raged Cow. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 7.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Clyde Fitch writes from Salzo Maggiore, Italy, where he is recuperating. that he recently had a terrifylng hurdle race with a mad cow, which chased him half a mile around trees and over fences, brooks and meadows. The playwright says that the cow’s horns twice grazed him in the rear, the second time rip- ping his jaunty flannel coat, with red stripes, which he belleved roused the cow s temper. When Mr. Fitch fically saved his lite by climbing a wall into the hotel grounds by means of & friendly overhang- ing branch he was so excited that he kept on running until he reached a group of pacific croquet players, who were stam- peded by the hatless, panting person they took to be a lupatic, rushing among them, the two balves of his torn coat flapping in the air like the wings of a scarecrow. COUNTESS MAKES A GREAT HIT Wears & Tiara to the Opera Made ou the Design of the Ru Crown, (Copyright, 1%2, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, June 7.—New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The countess of Essex, who has been very poorly siace she underwent an operation in Paris some time ago, appeared at the opera last night with & wonderful new diamond tiara.

LONDON, June 7.~The report of the committee on military education and train- ing, issued today, furnishes the strongest official corroboration of the ineficiency of the officers of the British army. The committee's report, which is based on the evidence of the officers themselves, from the commander-in-chief downwards, Blls forty-eight printed pages with caustic criticism of the existing system. The witnesses were unanimous in saying that the junior officers were lamentably deficlent in military knowledge, the desire to acquire knowledge, and in zeal The committee finds that the young officers will not work unless comoelled to do &0, that keenness Is out of fashion' and that “it is not correct form.” The com- mittee declares that many officers do mnot possess an elementary education, and plaintively protest that officers ought “‘at See Our Big Window Display least to be able to express themselves clearly and conclsely in thelr own language.” The report condemns the sys- tems of both Woolwich and Sandhurst, where education is “far from satisfactory, the instructors having no inducement to teach the cadets, stlll less to work." With a view to diminishing the expenses of officers belonging to cavalry regiments, the report recommends that polo tourna- wents, regimental coaches and the keep- ing of hounds be forbidden. Perhaps the penultimate paragraph is the most important of all. “So long medlocrity is permitted to pass muste says the committee, “and signal ability meets with no substantial recognition, it is useless to hope for any valuable results trom verbal amendments to the regulations Nothing but inducements, in the shape of certain reward for good work, either in peace or war, can raise the standard of | knowledge through the commisioned ranks.” The committee, therefore, ‘recommends ) Our Now, if e D honest system of promotion by merit, following upon tests honestly conducted and henestly reported upon.” The report plainly hints that officers can bardly be expected to work so long as the present system of advancement, through &i- clal fofluence, is fu vogue, or so long as efficlency has nothing whatever to do with the selection of officers for desirable ap- pointments. The committee recommends, among other things, that more commissions be offered to the colonies, and that officers be compelled to know either French or German. YIELDS TO ALSACE-LORRAINE Germany Abolishes Dictatorahip Pro- vision, an Evidence of Mutual Confidence, BERLIN, June 7.—The imperial chan- cellor, Count von Buelow, introduced a bill in the Reichstag today abolishing the dic- tatorship paragraph in the Relchsland (Alsace-Lorralne) fundamental laws. After speakipg of the necessity of the paragraph in the past in consequence of the expressed hope of Reichlanders that France would reconquer the provinces the chancellor sald that, Emperor Willlam and the government, after mature considera- tion, were convinced that the extraordinary powers conferred by the paragraph could be safely dispensed with. Its abolition con- stituted & recognition of the fact that, thanks to the strong position of the em- pire among the powers and thanks to the careful work of the provincial of the Reichsland, it had been found possible to reconcile the inhabitants of Alsace-Lor- raine to the new order of things and to inspire them with full confidence In thelr connection with the empire. The efforts of the older generation to effect a separ: tion would find no adherents In the mass of the population and the imperial govern- ment wished to requite confidence with confiderce. Germany never of her own free will would acquiesce to a cesslon of the Relschsland and he, the chancellor, was convinced that Alsace-Lorraine will accept the gift now tendered with the same feeling of German loyalty that acimated the rest of Germany.
