The | two prelates spoke only. on the provision of the bill prohibiting the establishment | of canteens or post exchanges. Both of them pronounced the provisions unwise and expressed the opinion that the can- teen is in the interest of temperance and gocd morals in the army. Archbishop Ireland based his remarks especially upon his observations of af- | fairs at Fort Snelling, near his home at St. Paul. He said that he was sure, from all that he had seen and heard among the | soldiers, that the canteen is a powerful factor in the protection of the soldiers from outside temptations of all kinds, and be did not accept the theory that the canteen brings temptation tol the troo that otherwise would not come to them. i o< iR - Hicks-Beach Not Elevated.

After dwelling at length upon the ef- forts of the maritime nations of Europe to prevent the investment by Americans of capital in the upbuilding, of an American marine and urging that the prop con- struction of the Nicaragua canal, together | with the rehabilitation of this country’s marine power, was only a part of the great problem of transportation, Hanna said that no plainer proposition than that contained In the pending bill ever was resented. It would attract capital and ay the foundation for a great industry. Fe enactment of the measure into law, he urged, would benefit materially the shipbullding industry and create a de- mand for Tahor in every department of business and commerce. Hanna in conclu- sion said: “In my appeal to the American people for the re-establishment of the great ship- building ‘industry, I want to put it on higher grounds than mere dollars and cents. It is away and beyond that point in patriotism and pride in our national life. As to the popularity or unpopularity of this measure, I stand here to say that every line of it is in the interest of the American people. Upon that basis I make my appeal for its passage and leave the question in_your hands.’ The Senate then, at 2:05 p. m., on motion of Allison, went into executive session and at 3:% p. . ed.

PRI F TR AL BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 13.—In the United | States court to-day Judge Beatty refused to continue a temporary injunction issued some da ago against the Bunker Hill- | Sullivan Company at Wardner on the | complaint of the Empire State and Idaho | Mining Company, owner of the Last Chance mine. The mines of these com- panies are two of the great perties of the Coeur d'Alene region. e Bunker Hill Company is running a tunnel that | will_cut the ledge several hundred feet | below all present workings. The Last | Chance uses water in its mill that comes | from the mine. The complaint in this ca | #et up that the tuinei would drain this | water off and it wss on that isSue that the case was principally fought. These, however, involve the still more important question, the ownership of the vein where the lines of the claim intersect. Judge Beatty held the Bunker Hill Com- ‘fany had a right to continue its tunnei or the development of its property, bul | he enjoined it from appropriating any ores taken from the territory in dispute. Ore taken out in running the tunnel is to be marketed and the proceeds deposited in the Exchange National Bank of Spo- kane, pending final settlement of the ques- tion ‘of the ownership.
