AV DISCUSS RIVER AND HARBOR BILL 3. Bawaras 1s at wme Meémbers Refuse to Placs a Limit on General Uebate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The House con- sidered the river and harbor appropriation bill tle progress was made. In a ing such a vast sum for local improvements many localities are bound disappointed and there is i to be d for attempting to Senerally consiGerable pique among the members who tail to get what they want. This fecling outcropped In several places to-day, the disappointed members refus- ing to allow any limit to be placed on the € debate. It extended throughout , being seemingly no nearer con- clusion at adjournment than when it started. The joi of resolution for the appointment George Gray of Delaware the Board of Regents of onian Institution to fill the va- ed by the death of the late opted. v as a hairman of the River and Har- mittez, called up the river and barbor bill. He suggested that general | debate upon the bili be limited to three | hours, but all attempts to secure an | oppose l | | i CITY TO BE VACCINATED | #&reement failed. Burton took e floor to make his pre- liminary statement in support of the measure. In reply to a question by Hep- burn, Burton said the sundry civil bill would carry about $5,000.000 on contracts previously authorized. The total appro- priations’ for rivers and harbors for the fiscal year would therefore afgregate about $45,000,000. He devoted an hour to giving the committee reasons for abolish- ing the Missouri River Commission. Over $11,000 000 had been expended on the river, he said, with enly trivial development of navigation. It had less commerce to-day than it had thirty years ago. Clark of Missouri asked if the commit- tee would oppose an amendment to allow the riparian rs along the Missouri River to build dykes or wind dams. Bur- ton replied that for himself he would not such an amendment. He thought owners could best determine what should be done. In order that the Missouri should not be entirely neglected, he added, the bill carries $300,000 for that portion of the river below Sioux City and $50,000 for that portion above the city. “Would the gentleman oppose an amendment to confer upon the Secretary of War authority to use the appropria- tion to confine t souri River with- in its present limits?” asked Hepburn. “I should hesitate tv accept such an amendment,” replied Burton. *I would regard that as impracticablie owing to the length of the river. The appropriation would be entirely inadequate to accom- plish any general results.’” . Wilson of Idaho asked why, as the com- mittee proposed to repeal the project for a boat rallway from The Dalles Rapids to Celilo Falls, Wash., it had not pro- | vided for the alternative proposition ot the ngineers for a system of locks and ccause a svstem of locks and dams would cost $4,000,000," replied Burton, “We provide for an expenditure of about $2,.- 000,000 at the mouth of the Columbia in this bill. Tf the $4,000000 were added the title of this bill would have to be changed to ‘A biil for the development of the Co- lumbia River.’” Mondell of Wyoming produced figures to show that if the money expended upon the Missouri #nd Mississippi had been used to reclalm the arid lands of the West it would have been sufficient to build comprehensive reservoirs at the head ot those streams which would have prevent- ed floods and insured navigation through- t the year. From this he argued that ofie Government should immediately en- ter upon the reclamation of arid lands in_the West. Bell of Colorado argued along the same lines and gave notice of an amendment he would offer to agproprlate $300,000 for reservoirs at he headwaters of the Platte and Arkansas rivers. Newlands of Nevada spoke in favor of a provision in the bill for the reservoirs at the headwaters of rivers from which arid land could be irrigated. He insisted that it was the duty of the Government to promote the use of water for irrigation as much_as for navigation. The House then at 5:05 p. m. adjourned. Frye Leaves Havana.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Upon the re- convening of the United States Supreme Court to-day, F. R. Coudert resumed kLis argument in the Porio Rican case, con- tinuing his contention that Porto Rico is not a foreign territory, hence it is not competent for Government authorities to ievy and collect duties upon aritcles im- ported from Porto Rico to New York. Be- fore taking up the thread of his argument Mr. Coudert undertook to respond to a Question propounded io him yesterday by Justice Brown whether a country can cease to be a forelgn country and yet not be a part of the United States—whether there is an intermediate condition. Mr. Coudert expres:cd the opinion that | such a condition might exist temporarily {and he added that e Supreme Court had recognized it in dealing with Tam- plco in the case of Fleming vs. Page and in dealing with California in the casg of Cross vs, Harrison before the acquisition of California by the United States was contemplated. Mr. Coudert contended that in a case of acquisition the dlviding line Is passed when a treaty of acquisition is signed and ratified. ‘“When,” he said, “we sanction acquisition by the ratification of a treaty we thus signalize our control of and sov- ereignty over such territory.” This, he asserted, had been done in the case of Porto Rico, in the treaty of 1888, and by that treaty Porto Rico had become as much a part of the United States as Calii- fornia had become in the proceedings suo- sequent to the war with Mexico. Mr. Coudért was followed by Alphonso C. Hart, who spoke esgecially of the Arm- strong case, in which the question in- volved is the collection of duties on goods shipped from New York to Porto Rico. He contended that the constitution of the United States extends over every porticn of the national domain, whether State, Territorv or district. - H. W. Ward, counsel for Dooler, Smith & Co., lald specibl stress uron the fact that the position of the Porto Rican law providing for the collection of duties is separate from other varts of that law and it is limited in overation in point of time to March 1, 1962. When Mr. Ward finished, Solicitor Gen- the Government's side of the controversy, giving especial attention to the effect of the ratification of the Parls treaty upon the relation of this coumtry and Porto ico. He sald that dcnial of the power which is being exercised by the President and €ongress amounts to sayinc~ that ceded territory becomes by ..e act of cession an 1me{ral part of the United States, to which the act of cession, to which 'the constlution of its own force ap- plies, placing its people, its products and 1ts ports on an immediate equality with ours and also extending the constitutional limitations to such countries. If this was the case, said Mr. Richards, the treaty making power in acquiring territory is necessarily limited to providing for the mere act of cession. “It is thus,’ he said, “stripped of its roper functions: it cannot treat, it is lame, impotent, impossible, ridiculous.” Mr. Richards argued that newly ac- quired territory becomes ‘“not a part bu- a possession of the United States terri- tory belonging to the United States,” and he went on to say: “Its disposition and government upon the constiution with _he making power and with Coneres: “Then does such lerritory fall within rest eaty- asses: upon foods arriving from a for- -elgn eduntry?” asked Justice Brown. g;tore Mr. Richards could reply, he put :he question In a different shape, say- Does it not cease (o be a foreign coun- try? ¥o this Mr. Richards answered: T think not; not within the meaning of the customs law. The Dingley bill treated as foreign all territory outside of the limits of the United States, leaving the States and Territories then created for customs purposes as the United States and that condition remains until Congress may see fit to change it.” the p{%rl!lon which requires duties to be Continuing, Mr. Richards contended that the sident has no er to ex- tend the limits of the United Btates, but | that the legislaive branch of the Govern- ey scs Bt Hs sald mr'{l':':”mg.:“ e v may see - ties to the treaty both knew that the lo- cation condition of the Islands ac- quired by the war with Spain would not permit their incorporation into the Unit- ed States and the application to them of those laws which the constitution requires to be uniform throughout the United es. the > of Wisconsin, | There, | too, are the plow and the fouled anchor | eral Richards began the presentation of | DALY MAKES BEPLY TO ALGER ! Chief Surgeon on Staff of Ganer. 1 Miles Speaks of Beef Scandal. Says His Analysis Disclosing Chemi- cals in the Meat Was Fully Con- firmed by the Government Chemists. PSS i PITTSBURG, Jan 9.—Major W. H. Daly, chief surgeon on General Miles' staff during the Spanish war, has just re- turned to his home in this city from a hunting trip with General Miles. Con- | cerning ex-Secretary of War Alger's re- cently published magazine article, = Dr. Daly said: | ‘It seems to be a hodge-podge of in- | accuracles as to facts and the testimony | 1 gave. What Mr. Alger calls my ‘verbal statements’ and ‘a single letter’ was, in | fact, just one typewritten official report to the commanding general of the army, and it seems to me to have been a rather | efficient report in fulfilling its object, as | was made manifest by the prompt abate- | ment of the issue of improper focd to our armies. made the chemical a after my return to my private laboratory in Pittsburg and after my officfal report had been sent in because there was no opportunity for such accurate chemical | { | | work in a mijlitary campalgn in a for- elgn country, and I wanted to see whether or not I was correct. The Gov-| ernment chemical experts sustained my analysis in every detail, yet the ‘Alger relief commission” suppressed this report of its own chemists and merely sald in its report to the public that, ‘inasmuch as Dr. Daly's analysis was not sustained by the Government's expert chemists, he is not worthy of credence.’ The report writ- ter and signed by Chief Chemist Clark and his assistants ought to refute any impeachment of my credibility. For- | tunately, I have the copy of the report of | the Government chemists in my posses- | sicn, else it would have been a question of veracity as hetween Alger, his relief com- | mission and me. “That Mr. Alger did reopen the matter at this late day, when every one but him- self seems to have considered it a closed incident, is unfortunate. To me it seems arother case of a man sitting down with- | out a chair behind him." | EXPLOSION IN A MINE KILLS FOUR WORKERS EAGLE PASS, Texas., Jan. 9.—An ex- plosion of gas in coal mine No. 5 at Hon- WO PALROIDS 10 COMBINE W. K Vanderbilt Will Con-| trol the Consolidated System NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—W. K. Vander-| biit’s plan for the welding together of the Union Pacific and the Chicago and North- | western raflroads, which he conceived more than a year ago, is now about to be carried out. When it is completed it wiil be found that the Vanderbilts have a thorough through transcontinental line of thelr own from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The original scheme was to lease the Union Pacific to the Northwestern, but | it is not certain whether this will be done or not. The control of the former is to | be acquiré® through the purchase of a | majority of Union Pacific stock, and this being done in the open market, which accounts for the big jump in price dur- ing the last two days. The Vanderbilts already have represen- tation in the Union Pacific directory, Mar- vin Hughitt, Roswell Miller, Horace G. Burt, E. H. Harriman and James Still- man being regarded as friendly to Wil- llam K. Vanderbilt. The assumption is that control will be brought about by the naming of a majority which is expected to take place at an early date. The Union Pacific stock acquired by the Northwest- ern will be treated in much the same way as the majority of Jersey Central stock, which was bought by J. P. Morgan & Co. for the Reading. A collateral trust bond may be issued, but this is not yvet cer- taim Some favor a lease of the Union Pacific to the Chicago and Northwestern. This deal was hastened by the discovery that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy was anxious to secure the Union Pacific, or at any rate to make a close traffic deal with the latter. This compelled the Northwestern people to hurry their nego- tiations. It is still possible that the in- terests of the Burlington will be consid- ered and the three great systems will be | brought into close harmony, but the con- trol of the Union Pacific will rest with the Vanderbilts. A large block of Union Pacific stock was bought by Burlington holders in this city with a view of unltlnf with the former. It was reported in Wall Street to-day that the new Union Pacific alliance would be still further enlarged by the addition of other raflroads in the Central West, in- cluding the Chicago and Rock Island. For several years the Northwestern has sent most of ‘its westbound traffic over the Union Paclfic and the latter has re- ciprocated on eastbound business. —— NAVY WILL PROBABLY BE MUCH AUGMENTED House Committes Discussing the Measure ommended by the Secretary. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The House Committee on Naval Affairs is conslder- ing the naval appropriation bill which the sub-committee has agreed upon. The full committee has tentatively agreed to in- crease the enlisted force of the navy 3000. The Secretary of tne Navy recom- mended an increase of 4000. The t- tee has also scaled Jown the appropri: tions recommended for navy yards, re- ducing them an average of about 40 per cent from estimates. The committee has ot reported the question of the increass of the navy, which is generally the last subject passed upon, but there seems to be general acquiescence in the recom- mendation of the Secretary. i RECORDER SIGNS PAPERS IN MOLINEUX'S APPEAL NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—Recorder Goft signed the papers in the case of the ap- peal of Roland B.

UIET OPENING OF JAPANESE DIET With Resignation of Minister Hoshi Trouble in the Cabinet Ceases. YOKOHAMA, Dec. 25, via Victoria, B. C., Jan. 9.—Since the resignation of Mr. Hoshi, Minister of Communications, who withdrew upon finding it impossible to re- sist the storm of abuse, the irouble in the Japanese Cabinet has ceased. Hoshi has | | \' | i | | | | | | been given the leadersiup of the new Con- | stitutional party, where his powerful per sonality cannot fail to make itself felt. The fifteenth session of the Diet was opened on the 22d by the Emperor in per- son, who in his rescript made the follow- ing reference to international relations: “We are pleased to be able to state that our relations with rom:fi: powers are on & footing of constantly Mcreasing friend- ship. “On_the occurrence of the lamentable disturbance in North China, we caused to be dispatched thither a naval and muli- tary force for the purpose of rescuing our representati our subjects and those of other ceuntris It is a matter of pro- fcund satisfaction to us that our forces, acting in concert with the other powers, displayed loyalty and bravery in the dis- charge of their task. Our Government, in co-operation with the powers, is now endeavoring to restore order in China and to_obtain guarantees for future peace.”’ The necessity for increasing taxation, also referred to In the Emperor’s speech, is realized by all political parties, so that lttle difficulty will be experienced on that score by the new Cabinet. I2 is reported, however, that the War expenses occa- sioned by the Chinese troubles will by no means prove so severe a strain upon the resources of the cmpire as would be ex- pected, in view of the fact that the vast amount of silver secured by the army ia China will indemnify all losses. The latest estimate of this loot is thirty-three mil- lion taels. The operations of the Standard Oil Com- pany in the flelds of Echigo are astonish- ing the inhabitants. Their enormous pipe- laying operations are on a scale never be- fore dream of. The company plans a line of delivery pipe forty-five miles in length. There is talk of a combination of the Japanese oil men in competition, but withstanding the power of the Ible amount of capital which the American company can bring to bear. The attention of American capitalists is being drawn to the gold producing district of Yezo, the northern island of the em- pire, where finds of great richness are being made.

Following the services at the house the body was taken to the Armour Institute, where from noon until 2 o'clock it lay in state and was viewed by thousands of people, including throngs of employes from the great packing houses and ot business interests of the dead millionaire. Many of the men stood for hours in the street for an opportunity to get a last glimpse of their former friend and emi- ployer The services at the house were of the simplest character, carrying out the ex- press wishes of the deceased, and were attended only by the family and clo friends.

ENGLAND'S ROYAL YACHT IS PRACTICALLY CONDEMNED ,‘Inspected by Watson, Who States | That the Craft Is Neither Cruiser Nor Yacht. | LONDON, Jan. 9.—The unfortunate new royal yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been a source of trouble to her de- signers ‘and builders from the very start, is now, it Is stated, practically con- demned. It is understood that three- quarters of a million pounds sterling (33,750,000) has a.lng.bem expended on the construction of vessel. G. L. Watson of Glasgow, who was commissioned by the Admiralty to in- spect the yacht. spent some time on her recently with Admiral Fullerton and oth officials. It Is pointed out that the toria and Albert was designed by m acoustomed to building warships. Con- sequently they made her strange biend of a pleasure vessel and a cruiser. In fact when the Prince of Wales saw the vessel he sald her designers had attempt ed a yacht and produced a ser—a very poor one, too. od Shoes ears su ry smali 1 ) Every pair of shoes must be disposed of at the Komfort's Retiring Sale.
