What the commitiee should have done was to have made four or five amendments to the present law that would have given tempor- ary relief and then, after the present con- stitution had been amended to suit present conditions, an entire new revenue law, con- forming to it, should be adopted.” " Bulk Sale Bl Under Fire Most of the day in the denate was taken up as a committee of the whole in discuss- ing the bulk law; providing that no retail merchant should be allowed to sell his stock, entire or in part, outside of the regular trade routine, without first having not¥fled his oreditors and filing a list of ereditbrs with the county clerk. The bill was amended and discussed so much that it was finally sent back to the committee, which was instructed to patch on the amendments and agalf bring it forth. Hall of Douglas took a prominent part in trying to pass the bill and Wall of Sherman took dn equally prominent stand for its rejec- tiom. A majority of those who opposed the bill expressed the opinion that it was an instrument for the bemefit of the whole- salers. Senator Hasty, who has a habit while not speaking of spreading out over everything in his nelghborhood, not excepting Mere- dith’s desk bebind his own, and who while speaking has a habit of looking into the northeast corper of the gallery with his back to the entire west side of *he house and majority of the east side, was called down today by Hedge of Adame, a west sider. Hasty was reading a few sections of the conmstitution for, the edification of those senators who were paying attention, and In his usual way was reading with his back to the west sida. “Mr. President,” warmly {isterrupted - Benator Hedge, “I object to the senator t\rning his back on the weat side of the Mduse.” Hasty hastily faced about. “I ob- Ject to hls facing the cast side with his back,” sald Warner. Just as Hasty wi about to succumb to his confusion, Presi- dent Harrison came to his relief by saying, “The senator's back looks good to the chair,”” 4nd the senator from Furnas at once backed up and got a fresh start. BRIDGE BILL UP.IN THE HOUSE Most of the Day 8 ing that and oY Men mt in Discu ttute 4 (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 1L—(Special)—A peti- tion fsom the Nebraska Federation of ‘Woméh's Clubs, praying for the passage of & purb food law, was introduced by Gregg of Wayne and referred to the committee on commerce.

Their chief objection was. | l;m bijl did not ofter favorable conditions for competition fu the matter of bidding for contracts for this work. Spurlock of Cass argued that it was the specific purpose of the bill to competition impossible. Mr. Spur- ther declared that the bill was cal- to prevent monopoly by iron trust firms in eupplying materigl for iron bridges, while McClay of Lancaster feared that, without amendment, the bill would make possible precisely this contingency. McAllister of Deuel thought, the bill placed, temptation before county commis- sloners in conferring upon them the power to let contracts without full publication. He thought the present law, with the Sears amendment, would be all right After consuming until 3:30 in debate, the Jhouse voted progress on the bill.

COURTS-MARTIAL- DECISIONS ILLEGAL For Forty Years Naval Men Have Been Arrested and Tried Without Re- celving Proper Notification of Offences Alleged. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—In executive session today the senate ratified the Alas- kan treaty and came near taking similar action on the commercial treaty with Greece, The Greek treaty was read through and then Senator Cullom (I11.) asked that it be ratified; but Senator Hoar (Mass.) ob- Jected. He sald it seemed to him to be loosely drawn. The principal purpose of the treaty Is the regulation of commerce between Greece and the United States. It contains full pro- vision for the control of the consular serv- fce along the lines lald down in the re- cently negotiated Spanish treaty. There was no delay in securing action on the Alaskan treaty. Senator Teller (Colo.) considered the Alaskan boundary so well determined as to make it not a matter of dispute. There- fore, while he would not delay the treaty he would not vote for it. Senator Mason (I1l) considered {he pro- cedure proposed by the treaty non-Ameri- can. The ayes and noes were not called, but there were geveral negative volces when an informal expression was called for, but the ayes were so much more numerous that the decision of the chair was mot chal- lenged. Senator Cullom asked the senate to give up the day. after tomorrow, after:the con- clusion of routine morning business, to executive works and no objection was made. 1t is Senator Cullom's intention to take up the canal treaty and the Cuban: reci- procity treaty. Holds Courts-Mart Ilegal. The court of claims has rendered a de- clsion of far-reaching importance to naval establishments. If sustained by the United States su- preme court, to which an appeal has been taken, the decision will affect every court- martial tried during forty years in which the sentence involved a loss of pay. The case decided was that of John Smith, a fireman, who was convicted of refusing to obey a proper order from his superior officer and sentenced to one year's impris- onment with loss of pay. The court gave judgment in his favor for the full amount of pay claimed, amount- ing to about $376. The decision was based on the broad ground that the accused had not been furnished with a copy of the charges and specifications on which he was to be tried, “at the time he was put un- der arrest,” according to the requirements of the naval regulations. Loan Money Comes Easier. The senate committee on finance today authorized a favorable report on the bill recently introduced by Semator Aldrich (R. 1) to permit the secretary of the treasury to loan money to national banks on other securities then government bonds, and agreed to report It with the following amendment to section 1: he Unit, tes shall have a lien o absets of s il Jubiie mORey are deposited from time of m-k tort Tepayment of the same on demand of the United States, but ‘the securities deposited with the eecretary of the treasury, for the safe keeping of such moneys, shall be sold before the said lien is enforced and the proceeds applied to the discharge of said lien to the extent of the proceeds of the eale. The bill was also so amended as to make the securities of cities of 50,000 people guod for loans. The limit in the original bill was fixed at 100,000, Odell Guest of Roosevelt. Governor Odell of New York is in Wash- fngton and may remain here a day or two. During a part of his sojourn here he will be a guest of President Roosevelt. The governor took luncheon with the president today. This afforded them an opportunity to comsider matters of particular interest to both. President Signs Trust B The president late tonight signed the bill to expedite the hearing and determination of suits In equity pending and hereafter to be brought under the Sherman anti-trust law and the law regulating commerce. Construction Corps is Crippled. The naval construction corps has been still turther crippled by the breaking down of Constructor Zahm, in charge of impor- tant work at the navy yard, Mare Island, Californfa, and the resignation of .Con- structér’ John G." Lawresey, superfhtendent of the government work at the Union Iron works, San Francisco. No'actioh has been taken on the latter's resignation and he may be induced to‘remain in the service. Oumstructor Zahm has been granted leave of absence for three months to enable him to recrult his health. The shortage of officors is hown. by the fact that vacancies mow exist at the head of thé copstruction departments of the navy yards at Boston, San- Franeisco and Puget sound, with no officers available for assignments to those stations, To Stop Gift Scheme The héuse committee on ways and ‘means today authorized a bill to be reported which provided that no packege of manu- factured smoking or chewing tobacco, snuff, cigars or clgarettes shall have anything ¢ Choicely Gaod ?.".; ‘Thus, old Izaask Walton, over, . two hundred years ago, anent « old- fashioned poetry.

President Roosevelt had an extended con- ference today with Senator Hanoa and Attorney Genmeral Knox. It Is understood that coneideration was given to the status of the Panama canal treaty which 1s pend- ing In the senate, and to anti-trust legisla- tion. An effort is to be made in a day or two to obtaln consjderation for the canal treaty and it is hoped that it may be rati- flod before the cloge of the present s slon. Place for Captain Sigabee. Captaln Charles D, Sigsbee, who was In command of the battleship Maine when it was destroyed in the harbor of Havana will probably be désigned to duty as com- mandant of the navy yard at Bremerton, Washington, as the successor of Rear Ad- miral Yates Stirling, ‘Who has been trans- ferred to command the Philippines squad- ron of the Atlantic fleet. It 1s expected that Rear Admiral Stirling will haul down his flag at the Puget Sound navy yard in about a month, and proceed to the Philip- pines on the battleship Wisconsin, which is to be the fagship on that statfon. Insane of Alaska. The Interior department has renewed for one year its agreement with the Oregon State Insane asylum for the care and main- tenance of the ingane of Alaska. The gov- ernment will pay $240 per capita per an- num.. The asylum js required to report quarterly to Govermor Brady and the sec- retary of the interion. Ask for Lowd's Appointment. President Roosevelt today received a call from the members of the postofiice and post roads committee of the house, with the exception of Chajrman Loud. They recom- mended to him the appolniment of Mr. Loud as the delegate representing the United States at the International Posral congress, which. is to be held in Rome, Italy, in 1904, The president received the suggestion - very .favorably, and while he made no definite promise, it is understood that the appointment of Representative Loud is. regarded as quite probable. Mr. Loud will retire from congress at the close of the present sesson. Assigned to Duty at Capital. Orders were prepared at the War depart- ment today assigning Major Thomas W. Simons corps of engineers, to duty in this olty, in charge of public buildings and grounds, vice Major Bingham, corps of en- gineers, who is ordered to Buffalo, N. Y., in charge of river and harbor work in Western New York and Pennsylvania. The two officers simply exchange stations. Each officer has been on his present station about six years, or longer than is usual in such- assignments. Major Bingham was military alde and master of soclal cer: monfes at the White House to Prpsident MeKinley up to the time of his death, and had served President Roosevelt in a like capacity. by Money for Italians. Senator Cullom/from the senate commit- tee on foreign relations, today reported an amendment to the general deficlency bill providing for the payment of $5,000 to the Italian' government on account of the kill. ing of two Italtaiis fn a riot at Erwin, Miss., In 1901 e Wit Get No Back Pay. o+ Chairman Burrows of the senate commit- tee on privileges and elections, has been authorized to report adversely upon the claims for back pay. presented by the legal representatives of senators from southern states who -entered congress at the time of reconstruction, amounting in the aggre- gate to $86,000.

T Dise the .Di h Treaty. Setretary Hay and Mr. Brun, the Danlsh ministér, have been discussing the ap- proaching termination by limitation of the period of time allowed for the exchange of ratification of the treaty providing for the cession to the United States of the Danish West Indian islands. There are some slght indications that there has been a change of mind Tespecting the advisabil- ity of consummating the treaty on the part | of the Danish government but this has not been so far officially communicated to tho State department, and if the time limit expires next June without a reconsideration by the Danish government of its adverse actlon the department will abandon turther efforts to secure the islands.

The fire was one of the ‘flercest in the Ristory of the city, and consumed the de- stroyed buildings with remarkable rapid- ity. Several lodgers on the top floor of the Atlas block had miraculous escapes’ from death. The fire started in the basement and in halt an hour the entire bullding Wwas enveloped in flames. Losers in the Fire, The, principal losers are: §. 8. Walker estate, owners of Atlas block, $100,000; Salt Lake Herdware company, stock,. $250,000; tenants of Atlas block, $75,000; Central block, $90,000. The Bank of Commerce and the private bank of . F. B. McGurrin. & Co. occupled the ground floor of the Atlas, block. Out- #ide of the office furnishings, however, their loss is believed to be.small, although this cannot be determined until the ruins cool and the big vaults are opened. The D: F. Walker bullding, a four-story office: building east of the Atlas block, was saved from destruction by a fortunate change of wind. Several times the roof caught fire, and its -destruction appeared inevitable. The Atlas block was occupled by scores including physicians, dentists; lawyers, architects: and mining brokers. Their losses are complete. There are some indications that the fire was of incendiary origin, but the firemen have rcason to believe it was caused by someone carelessly dropping a . cjgar or cigarette stub in some debris near the ele- vator shaft. Two firemen were slightly fn- Jured. Two Die in Mine Blase.
