FORTY BUILDINGS IN SUSANVILLE BURNED 3 Town Swept by Disastrous Fire Be- lieved to Have Been of Incen- diary Origin. SUSANVILLE, June 6.—Fire started this morning at Stark's blacksmith shop, on the south side of Main street, between Lassen and Roop, cleaning out three blocks, except the brick store of Nathan | & Schmidt and the stone store pf Alexan. der & Knoch. It was discovered at 3 this morning, but had such a start that it spread with great rapidity. The water | supply 18 good, but no hose or other fa- cllitles for fighting fire are to be had. The business houses destroyed included C. E. Emerson’s hardware’ store; Mrs. Bang- | ham, mllllner%: T. A. Massey, bicycle lho& C. W. Barreck, icecream parlors; E. obel, harness shop: the Cottage Ho- tel; M. Asher & Brother, merchand; store; W. E.

Morgan, paint shop; Lassen Mail prinfing office, and Mrs. Kerer, hoarding house. Several dwellings, the M. E, Church and other buildings were lost. Forty bulldin; were burned.

Only two or three new bills and resolutions were presented. Carter secured the passage of a bill pro- sundry_civil a viding for an increase of $375,000 of the | he adjusted—the provision to pay the limit of cost of the public buildings at| claim of the State of Nevada. Allison sald that with much regret he would move to recede from the amendment. After Stewart had made a statement con- cerning the claim, the motion of Allison was agreed to, thus completing the bill. The Senate then, at 3:35 p. m., went into executive session, resuming legislative business at 3:45 o'¢lock. Pettigrew called up his resolution to dis- charge the Committee on Education and Labor from further consideration of a bill limiting the daily hours of labor, common- ly_known as the eight-hour bill. Hawley moved to lay the resolution on the table, which motion prevailed—33 to 28—as follows: Aves—Allison, Deboe, Helena, Mont. 'A recess was then taken to await the presentation of conference reports. When the Senate reconvened at 10:30, Alli- son reported from the Committee on Ap- propriations_the House concurrent reso- lution providing for final adjournment at 3 p. m. to-day. The committee had made no amendment. It was permitted tem- porarily to lie on the tabl Hale presented a conference report on the naval appropriation bill. It was a disagreement upon all questions that have been in dispute for three or four days. Hale explained that the armor-plate ques- tion was. the great stumbling block to agreement. No price had been agreed upon by the conferecs because the House conferees believed the price should be left to the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy. - Hale said Penrose had a propo- sitioy to offer which he would be glad to have the Senate pass upon. Penrose then offered the following prop- osi Baker, Beveridge, Fairbanks, Foraker, Foster, Gallinger, Hale, ' Hanna, Hansbrough, Hawley, Kean, Kyle, Lodge, McComas, McMillan, Platt of Connecticut, Platt of New = York, Proctor, Quarles, Ross, Scott, Sewell, Shoup, Simon, Stewart, Thurston, Vest, Warren, Wetmore, Wolcott—33.

The House bill extending the coal lands laws to the District of Alaska was passed in the midst of considerable confusion. Senators were pressing for recognition, when Hale protested against the transac- tion of business in such confusion. He | had not heard what the bill was that just | had'been passed. So it was, he said, with | some heat, that an amendment had been put on the military academy appropria- tlon bill providing for Senatorial cadets. | He was opposed to these cadets and the | grnposuinn had been voted down by the | enate. He declared that such action on the part of a conference committee wa: an outrage. He had consulted with Mr. Sewell, chairman of the Senate Confer- ence Committee, and had been assured that the amendment would not be put in the bill. In explanation of the action of the con- ferees, Sewell -said the House conferees had insisted upon this increa: corps of cadets at the military 3 and the conferees of the Senate, knowing that a similar provision had been in an- other bill, he felt justified in yielding to the House proposition. A bill amending the statute relative to the appointment of receivers was passed. A recess was taken from 4:40 to 6:30 . m. The Senate reconvened at 6:30 o'clock, Chandler, tion: & T*at the Secretary of the Navy is hereby authorized, to pracure by contract armor of the best quality for any or all vessels above referred to, provided such contracts can be made at the price which is now, in his judgment, reasonable and equitable, but 'in case he is unable to ke contracts for armor under the above conditions he is hereby authorized and di- rected to procure a site for and to erect the; a factory for the manufacture of armor, and the sum of $4,000,000 is hereby appropriated toward the erection of said factory re was a sharp and extended debate adoption of the Penrose ators Tillman and Teller S dment, attacking it bitterly and Senator Hanna defending it. Butler said that what he wanted was a ame: Government armor-plate plant and he would be willing to pay almost any price for armor that is needed now, provided that the construction of armor-plate by the Government were made mandatory. Chandler objected to leaving the maiter | to the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy. Congress ought not, he main- | tained, to shift the responsibility to the shoulders of the Secretary of the Navy. That would be a cowardly thing to_do. A bill was passed appropriating $5 for the payment of the salaries of the of- ficials of the district of Alaska. Debate on the armor question was then resumed. Perkins, a member of the Naval Committee, supported the original com- mittee proposition. He did not approve of leaving the matter to the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy. Tillman attacked the amendment by Penrose. The chairman of the Naval Committee, said he, has declared that the Government is being robbed and that ‘Lhe trust has a knife at the Government's throat. The country, he said, was face to face with a andal’ as _enormous as any in its his- tory, second not even to the great Credit Mobilier scandal. o “I resent that statement,” interjected Penrose, vehemently and with evident feeling. ' “I resent the statement that there is any suspicion of scandal in this or any amendment which I propose.” “I am making no personal allusion,” re- plied Tillman. “I am simply stating facts that are indisputable. The influences be- utes without accomplishing anything, took a recess until 8:25. ‘When the Senate reconvened at 8:25 Hale announced that the conferees on the naval appropriation bill had agreed to a final report and it probably, in a brief time, would be sent to the Senate from the House. Allison, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, presented in tabulated form a statement of appropriations made dur- ing the session. Allison s=aid the princi- pal increases were in the appropriations made for the nawy and army and the | Postoffice Department and in items of the civil bill. ‘When the suggestion was made by Cockrell that an informal recess be taken until the naval conference report was re- ceived from the House Carter of Mon- | hind ‘the public in this matter are the |tana said the time spent in awaiting the shipbuilders and armor-makers.' mp?fl_"mlgm be employed promabfir by Teller denounced the amendment of|the anti-expansionists in submitting their | Penrose as a disgraceful proposition. views on the Oregon election.”.

Turner then sharply criticised the Re- publican leaders for forcing adjournment when there were public measures de- manding attention. These included the Nicaraguan canal bill, the anti-trust bill and the eight-hour bill. Hale explained the disagreement with the House on ocean and lake surveys. Speaking of the refusal of the House to | accept the conclusion of the conference | committee he said he did not believe that | the Senate should surrender all its.rights.
