President Roosevelt showed interest in the situation, but no indication of reced- ing from the position taken by the ad- ministration at the opening of Congress. With Secretary Root and Governor Gen- eral Wood he is still firm in the opinion that something must be done for Cuba during the present ion or there will be serious trouble in the island. There is no indication of any material change of position among leading members of the House in spite of the avalanche of beet sugar sentiment that has come in from the West. Members of the Ways and Means Com- mittee have not shown their hand aur- ing the first week of the hearings ex- cept to informally reaflirm their opinfon that 20 per cent or 25 per cent reduction in Dingley rates on Cuban sugar can be allowed if it is developed as the hearing progresses that will not sericusly affect the beet sugar raisers and cane planters of Louisiana. Senajor Platt of Connecticut and other | leading members of the upper brarch, who are likely to have great influence in settling this question in the Senate, still take the view that such a reduction can be allowed without injury in America.

Property Held by the Friars, He Says, Causes Dis- « content. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Sccr-tary Root was heard on the question of the | friar lands in the Philippines before the | Committee on Insular Affairs to- aid these landholtings cousti- ! d one of the chief causes of discon- | tent among the people; they were the | hotbeds of insurrection and had furnished | Aguinaldo his chier appeal to popular prejudice. | The Secretary sald the religious orders so fully realized the bad condition of af- fairs that they were disposed to sell cu znd he urged that the Government take I.':d\':m'-:.ge of the opportunity to remove | the chief causes of discontent in the isl- ands. He did not believe condemnation proceedings would be necessary, as there | were Indications that a fair price could | be agreed upon. A rough estimate of the value of the lands, he said, was trom five to seven and a haif millions of dol- lars, American money. Secretary Root began his statement by cxplaining the enormous power which the religious orders had long exercised | in the Philippines. They were represent- ed at Madrid and the Archbishop was quite as powerful as the Governor Gen- ¢ral of the islands. The orders have largely supplanted the native priests. As a result of the great political power of the orders the friars became the medium of communication between the local par- ishes and the central government. They Leld large tracts of land amounting to about 400,000 acres at the time of Ameri- can occupation. The people rented the lands and thus 4 landlord and tenant sys- tem was now in operation. This caused intense hatred, and Root said the feeling of .the tenant classes was not equaled in bitterness by anything in Ireland. Aguinaldo had taken advantage of this intense feeling of the tenants against thie friar landlords. The Secretary: said that the most important thing to be done at this time was to dispose of the friar question, as it was felt that when landed proprictorship was brought to an end most of the agitation would be disposed of. The friars had been driven from the land in many cas he said, ard if they returned the people would kill them. Ap- yeals had been made to the War Depart- ment to collect the rents due, but the Secretary said this could not be done without the use of troops. @ that no religious question was s simply a condition fully recognized. themselves were so fully alive tc the conditions that they would doubt- ie h2 ready to dispose of their lands. At all events, Root said, they were a part of an organization, and he apprehended that the disposition of the lands would v higher church authori- mselve: be determined b ties than the friors th CF INTEREST 10 rsUPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Changes Made in the Postal Service and More New Pensions Granted.

All this was saild in an impassioned voice, accompanied by wild gestures, and the Judge's eyes flashed. After the re- tirement of the jury Raker arose and in a quiet voice asked to present a matter | of importance to the court. ““L will not listen to it,” said the court. but, quiet being restored, Raker said: | “This morning I presented to your| Honor habeas corpus papers in the cases! of eight men.

Raker suggested quletly that if the hearing commenced at 9:30 o'clock the | Brown case could proceed at 10 o’clock. The court—I will not get up to hear the matter. I said 10 o’clock. Proceedings were instituted in the cases of Fred Roberts, Harry Roberts, E. S. Trowbridge, Orin A. Trowbridge, James R. Myers Sr., R. L. Nichols, Claude Mar- cus and Joseph Leventon. These men were not indicted by’the Grand Jury for complicity in the Lookout lynching, and | they were arrested on the complaint of Mary Lorenz, a half-breed daughter of Galvin Hall, one of the victims of the mob. The law provides that the men be given a preliminary hearing within two days after arrest or be discharged or that the preliminary hearing be post- poned from day to day. They have not been accorded a preliminary hearing and are still in jail, and counsel for the de- fense has instituted habeas corpus pro- ceedings for their release. + .

After a few soclal exchanges the Prince, in charge of the reception committee, will start on a short tour, winding up at New York in time to sail on the Columbia on March 8 for Germany. These plans have been communicated to the German Em- bassador, and, so far as they stand, ap- proved by him and by the Prince him- self (to whom they will be cabled), they | will be carried out. 1t is part of the plan to have the en- tertainment afforded the Prince thor- | oughly national in character and that the participants shall not be limited to any | ore strain of blood or race. One means of attaining this result will be to make tlic reception as formal as possible, so that it will be drawn upon official lines, and there will be a considerable appear- ance of the military element where feasi- ke, KIEL, Jan. 18—The imperial yacht Hohenzollern sailed for New York at 9:30 this morning.

C, Jan. 18.—The Senate Committee on Judiciary to-day | agreed to report favorably the nomination | of Francis E. Baker ofelndiana to be Circuit Judge in the seventh circuit. The | opposition to Judge Baker's confirmation | was withdrawn, but the circumstances connected with his case were discussed at | some length. There was especial reference to the fact | that his father is District Judge to the Indiana District and the point was mace | that with the son occupying the Circuit bench it might fall to his lot to review his | father’s decisions. There was, however, a general expression to the end that the | prominence of a man’s father should not | be allowed to stand as a bar to his own preferment. It was suggested also that | in such cases Judge Baker's own delicacy could be depended upon to find a proper solution of the problem. This view was | accepted and the decision favorable to report the nomination was not opposed. Among other nominations which the | Judiclary Committee decided to report favorably were these of Fletcher M. Doan Justices of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Arizona. e AR S Veterans Must Come First.

GANNON REPORTS DEFIGIENCY BILL House to Consider Ur- gent Appropriation o: $16,701,445. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The House of Representatives was in session less than an hour to-day. Only routine business was transacted, the most important feat- ure of which was the reporting by Can- non, chairman of the Committee on Ap- propriations, of an urgent deficiency bill. The bill will be called up for considera- tion next Monday. ‘When the House convened Joy of Mis- souri, chairman of the Committee on Ac- counts, precipitated a discussion involv- ing spme of the patronage of the House by presenting a resolution providing for the appointment of two additional mes- gengers. The resolution, after an ex- planation, was adopted. Cannon, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, reported an urgent de- ficlency bill and gave notice that on next Monday he would call it up for consid- eration. He explained that the bill car- riéd appropriations aggregating more than $16,000000. In answer to an inquiry he expressed the opinion that near the close of the présent session it would be necessary to pass another urgent de- ficlency bill. He could not say, however, how much the next bill might carry. The following bills were passed: For the protection of towns in the In- dian Territory and providing that they issue bonds to an amount not exceeding 5 mills on each dollar of taxable property of the municipality for the construction of sewers, waterworks and schoolhouses; providing that the amount of the official bond of the United States Marshal of Alaska may be increased to $75,000 in cer- tain circumstances. The Senate amendments to the House biil approprigting $30,000 for a Government exhibit ané floor space at the Charleston Exposition were agreed to and the biil passed. The urgent deficiency appropriation bili carries $16,701,445, distributed among the different departments. The naval items include $4,000,000 for armer on snips now under construction. Among the more important items in- cluded in the bill are the following: R bates to tobacco manufacturers, as pro- vided for in the war revenue reduction act, $3.150.000; establishment of permanent military post at Manila, $00,000; military | ordnance, $20,000; naval ordnance, $39.- 000; expenses of Congressional party to funeral of President McKinley, $200; rural free delivery, $18,000. —_— —_— SAN DIEGO, Jan. 18.—Frank Gardener, a man about 40 ‘years of ase, i A age. without family, ‘was accident ‘whi to-da; His 1efc arm was badly kS -5 and amputa- AGREEMENT MAY END A MASS OF LITIGATION Edison Company Makes Concessions ‘Which Promise to Conclude Suits for Damages. BOSTON, Jan. 18.—A concession of lia- bility by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company in the subway explosion of March 4, 1897, in which a dozen persons were- killed and scorés injured, prom to end speedily a great amount of litiga~ tion for damagea involving claims aggre- gating nearly $1,500,000. Previously the courts had found the Boston @as Light: Company and the Edi- son company jointly liable, but the E son company has contested the finding. Next Monday when the damage cases are cailed in court, on continuance, the announcement will be made that the Edi- son company concedes llability with tue gas company. It is thought that this ac- tion will mean the payment of at least $500,000 of the damage claims by the Edi- son company. The gxplosion was sald to have been caused by a spark from electric light wires igniting gas which had leaked from the gas company’s pipes into the subway excavation at the corner of Tremont and Boylston streets.
