HOUSE KILLS CORLISS BILL Btrikes Enacting Olause from Measure to Lay Government Oable, VICTORY FOR THE COMMERCIAL COMPANY Mackay Informs Members that Over Thousand Miles of Cable Are Rendy and Guarantees All-Ameriean Line. WASHINGTON, June 11.—The house to- day dispatched the Corliss cable bill by the same method it adopted yesterday in the case of the forest reserve bill. It atruck out the enacting clause by a vote of 118 to 77, thus giving mo opportunity to test the strength of the Dalzell substitute which authorized the president to contract with & private company for the laying of & cable. The speakers today were: Messrs. Shackelford of Missour!, Mann of Illinols, Morrell of Pennsylvania and Tompkins of Ohlo for the bill, and Mes: Richardson of Alabama, Newlands of Nevada, Loud of California and Cannon of Illinéis against it Mr. Corliss supplemented his speech of yesterday in favor of the bill with a few additional remarks, fn the course of which he declared that he had learned within twenty-four hours that not a foot of the| proposed commercial Pacific cable had yet| been laid. Mr. Richardson of Alabama then 00k the floor In opposition. He called at- tention to the speech of Mr. Cannon yes- terday, In which the latter showed that the appropriations for the next fiscal year already exceeded the estimated revenues by 351,000,000 and urged this as the first rea- son why the government should not enter upon the exhaustive work of bullding a cablé to the Philippines. He referred at some length tos the pos- sibllities in the development of wireless telegraphy and argued that it would be unwise on the threshold of the develop- ment of the new system for the govern- | ment to expend §15,000,000 or $20,000,000 for | a submarine cable, which might be value- less in a few years. It was better, he in- slated, to allow a private company to take wha r risk was lavolved. Mr. Richardson then read the contract| under the post roads act of 1868, which | the Commercial Cable company agreed to make with the secretary of the treasury covering the sale of cable In case of neces- sity to the government, the priority of gov- the rates to be charged to 50 cents per word to Hawail and $1 per word to the Philippines and China) with half rates for government business, the ‘control of the cable by the government in time of war. He argued that these terms were In every way very ad- vantageous to the government. Federal Cable Unjustifiable, Mr. Corliss asked If the attorney general had not refused to consider the contrant which the Commercial Cable company had offered to make. Mr. Richardson replied that the attorney general and other government offcials had declined to interfere in the matter and that the company was proceeding to lay the cable under the post roads act. In ex- planation of the reason for the cable being bullt in England he sald that the English company was bullding ‘a cable which it guaranteed for twé years. No otheft com- pany would guarantee a cable for {hirty days, he sald. Mr. Richardson declared that as an eco- nomic business proposition the government b THE OMAHA seriously burned In attempting to extricate Reardan from the wire The Peoria and Pekin Union roundhouse was blown down shortly after 10 o'clock In it at the time were eight men.

The engine is burled in sand and mud and the baggage car turmed over. Robert Atkinson, the engineer, was the only person fnjured. The roof of the new warehouse at the Corning & Co.'s distillery was blown off, as was also that of the Clark distillery. The roof of the Harned & Von Maur dry goods store was blown off and damage to the stock of 325,000 wad oceasioded by water. There was no insurance.

Rowboats were hauled to the scene at once and the police took twelve persons from their homes. They were standing on planos, with the water almost to their necks. Within an hour all would have been lost. All communication with the outside world was destroyed for over twelve hours and it was almost noon today when a wire was secured between Peoria and Chicago and St. Louts. Commaunication Cut Off. All street car service was stopped and the fire alarm service was completely knocked out. A tugboat and & steam launch which have been plying on the river at this point have disappeared since the first storm and it is believed they are now at the bot- tom of Peorla lake, Their pilots have not been seen. Three large dry goods houses in Peorla were on fire at the same time after the storm and the entire fire department of the city was on duty all night. The Peorla & Pekin Union tracks are washed away at Wesley City and no trains can get Into Peorla over the Big Four, Illi- nois Central and Chicago, Peorla & St. Louls rallroa: The storm struck Morton, a small village fitteen miles below, here, and Edward Bee- man was killed hy falling timbers. A farmer named Ellison was killed while attempting to save his horses. He was found eurrounded by the bodies'of six dead horses. The damage to farmers is beyond estimation at this time. In Peoria the loss cannot be estimated today. The damage to plate glass alone will amount to many thousands of dollars.

He read a let- ter trom John W. Mackey of the Commer- clal company guaranteeing that the com- pany would build an all-American cable and not touch upon foreign soil. The ob- Jection to the project of the Commercial cable because the cable was not bullt by American labor, he sald, would not stand investigation. He produced figures to show that only 12 per cent of the cost of a cable was expended for wages. Loud’'s Opposition, Mr. Loud of California opposed the bill on the ground that government operation of telegraph systems in Europe was not a success. Since 1672 England had lost about $35,000,000 in the operation of its tele- aph system. If a private company had ha®.gich a monopoly as England had it ‘would"Nave made large sums of money. He concluded by expressing the hope that the house would kil all the bills and leave the Pacific ocean' open to any company which cared to undertake the laying of a cable. (Applausc.) Mr. Adamson of Georgia moved to strike out the enacting clause of the bill. To prove that the Commercial Cable company ‘was proceeding with the work of construct- cablegram from London, dated today and signed by G. E. Ward, vice president, certi- tying that 1,065 nautical miles of the cable to be Jald between San Francisco and Honolulu had been completed and that the proceeding at the rate of twenty- & day. The cablegram sald that & steamer would leaye with the cable 'for San Francisco before August 1. Mr: Tompkins of Ohio, a member of the commerce committee, made an earnest speech in favor of the bill. The govern- ment, he argued, should have undisputed and uninterrupted communication with fts insular possessions. He sald a gentleman had appeared before the committee and had testified that his company was prepared to bulld a cabl #00d as any that could be built in the world. 1f the cable could be bullt here, he insisted that it should be built here. ‘(Applause.) Mr.. Cannon of Ilinols, chalrman of ‘the committee, then threw the welght of his Influence against the bill.

PENNYPACKER 1S NOMINATED Quay's Oandidate Named by Penneylvania Republicans as Governor Nominee. ROOSEVELT IS STRONGLY INDORSED sident Receives Cord and Un- ed Support of Convention as Its Cholce for Nomination Next National in Camp HARRISBURG, Pa., June 11.—Judge Sam- uel W. Pennypacker of Philadelphia was nominated for governor over Attorney Gen- eral John P. Elkin of IndiAna by today's republican state convention, by a vote of 206 to 152. Ex-State Senator Willlam M. Brown of New Castle and Major Isaac B. Brown of Erie were nominated by acclamation for lleutenant governor and secretary of in- ternal affairs respectively. Senator Quay was chosen chairman of the republican state committee by a suspension of the rules requiring the state chairman to be chosen by the nominees and the presiding officers of the convention, and he will con- duct the cathpaign for the state ticket. The platform indorses the administration ©of President Roosevelt, reaffirms loyalty to the principles of protecive tariff; de- clares for pure and honest ballot reform; condemns trust, approves the action of the president and attorney general in proceed- Ing against the Beef trust, and makes no mention of the state administration. Personal Victory for Quay. Peanypacker's nomination is a personal victory for Semator Quay. Elkin was formerly one of Quay's chief lieutenants, and when he became a candidate it wa thought he was the senator's choice. The delegates friendly to Elkin were elected in several countles. Quay advised against the attorney general's candidacy In the in- terest of 'ty harmony. Elkin declined to withdraw. Quay then made a public declaration against his candidacy, and when Pennypacker was suggested for the nom- ination the senator tacitly indorsed him. The attorney general was backed by Gov- ernor Stone and other members of the state administration. Quay assumed direc- tion of Pennypacker's campaign and from the outset predicted Elkin would not be nominated. The senator came here Sunday with Senator Penrose and others and opened headquarters. Elkin and his men were on the ground early, and until the strength of the rival candidates was revealed at last night's caucuses it was conceded that the contest was very close. Speculating on Strength. The Watres and Pennypacker delegates held a joint caucus, in which the leaders claimed 208 of the 358 delegates in the convention. The Elkinites declared that the count wa; incorrect and at midnight issued a sta ment predicting the attorney gemeral's nomination. Quay, Penrose, Durham and Elkin were delegates and directed their forces on the floor of the convention today. Elkin made a speech against the report of the committee on contests unseating his delegates In two districts. The commit- tee's action was sustained, however, the clerks announcing the vote to be 196 to 159. [Elkin pledged his support to the ticket in his speech, but his adherents omitted to offer the customary motion that his opponent’s nomination be made ulnn)- mous. Sibley. Permanent Chairm ‘Senator’ Penrose acted as temporary ¢halrmiin.'- Thé tommitiee on permanent organization reported the selection of Con- gressman Sibley for permanent chairman. Before Mr. Sibley was formally elected A. 8. L. Shields of Philadelphia, from the com- ‘mittee on contests, reported in favor of the sitting delegates In the First Luzerne and the Fourth Schuylkill districts. Speech of Chairman Sibley. The last democratic administration left us a nation overwhelmed with disaster and almost in despalr. The republican party shows you a mnation whose traffic 50 congested that the greatest rallway sys- tems of the world find it impossible to move the offered tonnage over them. Willlam McKinley found an army of tramps and Coxey marchers. He left us an industrial army of high wage earners of every class or calling, receiving the highest "pecuniary reward their services ever commanded. He found us Insular and has left us a world power, respected, not more for the valor of our arms, not more for the genius of our civilization, than for the moderation and mercy mani: fested to the conquered. He waged a war with Spain and in less than three years rom the outbreak of hostllities had given pain again to America as its cordial friend. He found us, nearly forty years after the civil war, divided, and left us truly United States' of America. Ex-Congressman Yardley reported and read the platform. It is as follows: Platform is Adopted. AMrming the principles enunclated by the republican national convention which met in Philadelphia in 190, the republicans ot Pennsylvania, in representative convention t Harrisburg, declare the fol- platform Under republican rule the country prospered and Pennsylvania, with its g cultural and industrial’ interest: Y nited States sen- ators and representatives In congress, who have assisted in maintaining the national prestige and promoting the welfare of the ate.

Grape-Nuts vs. White Bread, ete. A family figured caretully on the cost of food, taking Into consideration the strength «nd health that Grape-Nuts furnished. The report is interesting: “We first took up Grape-Nuts because it agreed with me so well. 1 was suffering from dyspepsia that medicine did not re- lleve. I frequently laugbed at the idea when some of my friends told of the use of Grape-Nuts. Howe one day Wite bought a package and we found it good and 1t agreed with me. We were accustomed to vsing white bread end oats, wheat or barley mushes boiled from two to four hours. We considered Grape-Nuts too expensive, but I noticed that when I had a breakfast of Grape-Nuts 1 felt fine, and other dsys when white bread and other cereals were used I felt weak and bloated. One day about six months ago I sald to Wite, ‘I am satisfied that Grape-Nuts is the thing that makes me feel better In between the blue spslis.’ Then sat down and figured awhile on the cost of living snd came to the conclusion that we could live better and happler on ffteen cents worth of Grape-Nuts than on twenty- five cents worth of white bread or ‘cooked- at-home' cereals. You see four teaspoon- fuls of Grape-Nuts furnish more strength to work on than large quantities of other food, so we started on Grape-Nuts in ear- nest; using it every morning, and a wonder- tul change has come over m I am gaining in weight every day. Never bave any of the old bloated feelinge. Feel strong and well and can endure more hard work than I could on the old diet, and this result is all without any doctar or drugs at all, but directly from using Grape-Nuts."

We pledge our- Selves to his renomination to the great of- fice which he has filled with such ability and patriotism. In the Philippine Islands under American rule, despite proteacted guerilla warfare, now brought to an end, schools have been established; justice administered by courts has for the first time become prompt and certain; the habeas corpus has been madé a writ of rights; provincial and municipal governments chosen by vote have been es- lished and the Filipifio people have been started upon the road of self-government. No nation has ever achieved 8o much in so #hort a time In dealing with an Asiatie peoj broken Into so mary tribes, and e heartily approve and commend thé pol- ey of our government which has pro- duced such results. We express to the army in the Philippines our profound admiration for the courage and success with which they have brought the insurrection against the United States to an end. While we deplore any cruelty to the natives that may have occurred, and ap- prove proper punishment and condemna- tion wherever gullt {s sruved. we demand justice for our men and due consideration for the sufferings and provocations they have undergone. Endorse Cuban Reciproeity. To the end that our past contributions to the cause of Cuba may not be Imperiled but that prosperity and independence mi €0 hand in hand, we endorse the recom mendation of President Roosevelt that the United Btates should enter into reciprocal trade relations with the republic of Cuba that shall mutually be advantageous to it and to the United States, and all efforts to that end of our representatives in both houses of congress we cordially endorse. We_reaffirm our unswerving loyaity to the republican principles of rotective tarift and deprecate any suggestion under ¢xlsting circumatances of & revision of g the existing tariff Taws. We heartily lryrove the action of the president of the United States, through his attorney general, in instituting proceed- owth of unlawful com- ings to check the binations intended to raise the price of e con- commodities, at the expense of sumer, and' we recommend that similar action’ be taken in all cases where the eople are oppressed by trusts or com- inations through the fliegal manipulation of fuel or food supplies, The roll was then called and Pennypacker was nominated on the first ballot, the vote being: Pennypacker, 206; Elkin, 152. The custoraary motion to make the nom- inajon unanimous was omitted. Lewls' name was withdrawn and William M. Brown of Lawrence county was nomi- nated for lieutenant governor by acclama- tion.

WATERLOO, Ia., June 11.—What enti- tles an auctioneer to the prefix “‘colonel” ebfore his name was the principal discus- slon in the convention of the State Auc- tioneers’ association here today. There has been much looseness in the application of the title of late and the assoclation de- elded to place a definite limit on colonels. The motion that an auctioneers must cry 1,000 sales before he is entitled to be called colonel was at once adopted. This, It was argued, would restrict the title to the bet- ter class of actioneers.

The trouble that has been brewing for some time regarding the gospel work of the Women's Christian Temperance union at the county jall came to a focus yester- day afternoon at a meeting of that organ- ization, when a letter was received from Sherift Power addressed to the members of the unfon, adyising them of the extent of their authority over the gospel services at the Jall. He wished it understood that it rested with the sheriff alone to dictate who should conduct the services. The letter was accampanied by a petition to the union signed by the prisoners of the west end, asking that Miss Magee be returned to the work fn that part of the jail. For some time the union has had charge of the Sunday noon services at the jail, which have been conducted by its superin- tendent, Mrs. E. H. Shinrock, and the city missionary, Miss Nellie Magee, the former working in the east wing and the latter in the west. All went well until a few weeks ago, when the union took occasion to se- verely criticise Miss Magee for some of her methods, as reported and complained of by Mrs. Shinrock. The matter was brought up at a meeting of the union’ whén Miss Magee was not present and created a small tempest, but when the complaint came to be Investigated the offenses charged proved to be merely differences of opinion between Mrs. Shin- rock and Miss Magee. The union, few members of which ever visit the jail, was unwilling to depart from its time-honored rule that the authority of a superintendent be maintained, and it was decided that if Miss Magee continued in the work she could not come directly under the unfon, but must work under the authority of the superintendent. The developments of another week made this impossible and Miss Magée withdrew. Since then there has been no regular provision for the Sun- day services and the petition of the pris- oners and the sheriff's letter were tho result. The letter came as a surprise at yester- day's meeting and the women again en- deavored to persuade Mise Magee to see her duty in working under Mrs. Shinrock’s authority. This Miss Magee quietly but firmly refused to do. In view of the limi- tation of its authority to dictate regarding the Sunday services, as stated by Sheriff Power, the union decided that a committes shoi)d cal) on the sheriff and lay the mat. ter before him, the union agreeing to with- draw from the west wing If he chooses to place Miss Magee in charge there. It is to be understood, however, that in with- drawing its authority, the unfon also with- draws its finapcial support from the work in that part of the jail. Escaped Conviets § ded.
