WASHINGTON, Feb. 6—At the con- clusion of the routfne business in the Senate to-day Scott (Rep.) of West Virginia called up -and had read a resolution - which he offered sev- eral days ago- providing for the appointment of a commission of experts to examine what is known as the San Blas or Mandingo Bay route, for an isth- mian waterway and to reporf to the Sen- ate the cost of constructing an inter- cceanic canal by that route. He sald that nearly one-fourth of the sum hecessary to | construct a canal by any ef the routes proposed already had beem nded in an endeavor to find a suitable foute for an isthmian canal; but confronted ‘as Con- gress was by a proposed lppmdpru.unn nearly $200,000,000 for the building of a interoceanic waterway, it was the duty of prudent men to. carefully investigate every possible route. He disclaimed any intention to obstruct the consideration of a canal bill or to delay the building of the canal itself, but he maintained that the question of route was still doubtful. " After thorough investigation he was convinced that the San Blas route met practically every requirement of the proposed water- way, but because the adoption of that rcute involved the driving of a tunnel tkrough the granite of a mountain range suiliciently large to admit of the passage of any ship afioat, the route had been re- garded as Impracticable. Personally he wac convinced that such a tunnel could be constructed at a reasonable cost. Scott explained that the San Blas route connected the two oceans from the bay of Mandingo, in the Gulf of San Blas, on the Atlantic side jo Pearl Island_harbor, in the Gulf of Panama, on the Pacific side of the isthmus. Including the five-mile tunrel, the canal would be thirty miles long. He said that the harbors of the San Blas route had excited the enthu- slasm of all engineers who h: He believed that electrical power made it entirely practicable by this route to tow ships through the canal by electric trolley. He thought it improb- able that sailing vessels would be able to navigate any other of the proposed routes. The route he proposed, he® , offered great natural and commercial advantages. He did not believe any one wauld question | the desirability of a ship canal by the San Blas if the tunnel, which it .involved, could be constructed and he had no doubt He referred to the Hoosac, #ount Cenis, St. Gothard, Arl- berg and Simplon tunnels as daring and successful efforts of modern engineering. He quoted both American and European engineering authorities to show that the | construction of the San Blas tunnel was quite practicable. For the following reason Scott believed the San Blas route was the only feasible and practical sea level canal route: (1) Its healthy location; (2) its shortness; (3) its magnificent harbors; (4) its total ab- sence of locks; (5) the possibility of working gangs of men night and day in the wet and dry seasons under good sanitary conditions; (6) the very important conslderation that by this route and no other sailing vessels could be towed by electric power, by night as well as by day, thus effecting a great saving of time and expense; (7) the economical main- tenance of the al when completed; (8) the permanency of its yockbed and the absence of earth embankment: (9) tfe desirable fact that it can be constructed within three or at most five rears Scott concjuded by strongly urging the adoption of his resolution, saying that he wished to be convinced of the practicabil- | ity _or impracticability of a ship tunnel and had sul itted his resolution as a pure business proposition. —_— British Steamer Is Badly Damaged KOBE, Japan, Feb. 6€.—The British steamer Glengarry of the Tacoma-London line, Captain Stevenson, which left Ta- coma January 13 for Japanese and Chi- nese ports and London, has arrived here much damaged about her decks.

The great TREASONABLE WORDS aT IR THE SENATE Tillman Declares His Sympathies Are With . the Filipinos. Jeedl Foraker of Ohio Says Squth Carolinan Is Protected by His Position. | Hoar Talks Against Sedition Laws | and Says Differences of Opinion Result From ‘Miserable Philippine Business.” ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—For four hours to-day the Senate had the Philippine tarift bill under discussion. The measure was completed, so far as the Philippine Com- ‘imlallnn is concerned, all of the commit- | tee amendments being adopted. Several | other amendments, however, will be of- | fered, one or two being pending. | Toward the close of the session the dis- | cussion became heated. In response to a | resolution offered several days ago by Rawlins, of Utah, the Secretary of War | transmitted to the BSenate the sedition | laws_enacted by the "Philippine Commis- | sion. They were read in full and im- | mediately drew the fire of the opponents | of the Government’s Philippine poljcy, | Hoar, Foraket, Tillman and others par- | ticipating in a sharp debate. At the conclusion of the reading For- | aker sent to the clerk’s desk and had read | sections 5331 to 5338, inclusive, of the re- | vised statutes of the United States, deal- | ing_with the same offenses. | ‘When the reading had been concluded | Lodge secured the adoption of the rol- | lowing amendment: That nierchandise in bonded warehouses, | otherwise in the custody and control of the officers of the customs, upon which duties have been paid, shall be entitled, on shipment to the Philippine Islands within three years from the date of the original arrival, to a return of the duties paid, less 1 per cent, and merchan- dise upon which duties have not been paid may be shipped without the payment of duties to the Philippine Islands within said period un- | der such rules and regulations as may be pre- cribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. This perfected the bill so far as- the committee was concerned. Hoar Criticizes Sedition Laws. Hoar then spoke briefly upon the sedi- tion laws enacted by the Philippine Com- | mission, saying he was sorry that the commission had had its act justified by reference to the only harsh and cruel provisions that were to be found in the statutes of the United States. Under this cruel provision in the Philippine Com- | mission’s laws a mother having | knowledge of treason of her son must in- form the authorities upon him; the son must inform upon the mother; the brother upon the brother; the daughter upon the Ilflthen and so on. He said the laws of | the United States were applied only to citizens of this country, citizens by either nativity or adoption. "in the case of the | application in the Philippines, he said | they were being put into execution by | alien authority responsible only to an | alien Government or command. Patterson interrupted Hoar to _say that | one of the members of the Phiiippine | Commission ought to be relieved from any | odium attaching to the enactment of the | Philippine sedition laws. Governor Taft, he said, had informed the Philippine Com- mission that he was ill when these acts were enacted by the commission, and that |had _he been present there ' probably | would have been some modification of the acts. | *“I am quite ready,” said Hoar, “to be- lieve what the Senator has said of so able and humane a man as Governor Taft.” | Foraker said he never had heard the | Philippine acts read until now. He was | surprised, however, that the Senator from | Massachusetts (Hoar) should be mental- 1y and morally disturbed by such provis- { ions as had been heard. When Hoar had desired to know, he added, whether it were possible that the United States had | enacted such provisions he had sent for the United States statutes and had had | read the acts upon treason and offenscs against the country. | “Not only are the provisions the same,” he declared, “‘as those contalned- in the | Philippine acts, but the wording in both s | practically identical. The Philippine Com- mission adopted the language of the re- vised statutes, adding such matters as would make the provisions applicable to | the Philippine Islands.” Sympathies With Filipinos. Tillman interrupted Foraker to de- { nounce the sedition laws enacted by the | Philippine Commission as “‘damnable doc- rine."” It might be in order,” sald Foraker warmly, *to inquire of the Senator from South Carolina on which side of the | struggle in the Philippines are his sym- | pathies.” | My sympathies are with the Filipinos,” | shouted Tillman, pounding his desk em- | phatically. 3 | " “Undoubtedly they are,” retorted For- ! aker, “and such a flat-footed and unqual- | ified declaration as the Senator has made { would render the revised statutes appli- | cable to him if he were not protected by ‘hls position as Senator.” | "Hoar again interrupted Foraker, and |directing attention to the declaration in | the Senate chamber of Thomas Corwin of Ohio during a debate on the Mexican war that if he were a Mexican he would | welcome the Americans with bloody | hands to hospitable graves, inquired if | the people of Ohio did not Teverence tle name and memory of Thomas Corwin. | | Foraker replied that the people of Ohlo did love to recall the memory of Thomas | Corwin, but they realized, he said, that in that great emergency he had made a profound mistake. In response to a question from Patter- son Foraker said that there was not a | single word in the sedition laws adopted | by the Philippine Commission which | would enable the authorities to touch any man who was loyal to the Unlited States, Tillman said that he had seen a state- ment from General Chaffee that practi- cally the entire Philippine population was imbued with a hatred of Americans. “In view of this statement,” said he, “‘wey must continue this infamous, tyran- nical British South African—" Then hesi- tating 4 few seconds he continued: *“T'Il stop_right there, because I cannot find a :lvorq hot enough to apply to the situa- on.” Our Army Must Be Victorious. “I %ant to say to the Senator, and to say,” retorted Foraker, with great vehe- mence, “that our army will never come ! back from the Philippines until it comes back victorious. That may as well be understood now as at any future time.” Hoar concluded the debate of the after- | noon and in the course of his remarks { paid a_ brilllant tribute to Thomas Cor- win, who, in the face of a hostile Senate, had uttered the sentiment which he had | quoted earlier in the Gay.- He declared that Corwin’s name and memory had be- come one of the treasures of the republic |and that he had been placed among the | questions now before the country, he said, could be discussed temperately and calm- ly. It was a great question whether this powerful republic should crush the life out of a republic modeled after our own | Government: it was a_great question how | the slaughter of both Filipinos and Amer- icans was o be stopped. - “Men as good as I am, men wiser I am,” said he, “differ from me 52:: these cuestions. T do not believe the dis- ; tinguished Senator from Ohio wants to do injustice to any one. Some men, how- ever, show their love of the flag by pro- tecting it against violence, and = some show their love of the flag by keeping it pure and a synibol of justice. The one is an_honorable thing and the other is an honorable thing. Those who are resist- ing the present policy of our Government in the Philippines are quite as loyal as those who are supporting it.” The difference of opinion which has arisen among the people, he said in con- clusion. was the “legitimate result of this miserable Philippine business.” 3 At 6 o'clock the Senate went into ex- ner 35¢ Ribhons, 22c. corsage bows; good value at 35¢ per yard; special price . . . .

HONOLULU, Jan. SL—Reports have reached here of an alleged cure of lep- rosy in Tahiti by the use of the Venezue- lan plant known as tua-tua, some of which was sent here some time ago by the United States Government. The re- sults here were not satisfactory, and lit- tle confidence is placed in the reports. Experiments were made many months ago. Dr. C. E. Camp, one of the physi- clans who has been experimenting with the cure, however, is inclined to think that there may be something in the ac- count of a cure. He states that he has attained results indicating a cure in us- ing the medicine on a Portuguese boy. It is sald to be impossible to try it well with native Hawalians, as they will not stick to the cure. It is very violent in its effects and causes a good deal of pain, and Dr. Camp says that the average Ha- walian refuses to keep up the treatment after trying it. United States Judge Estee has set asjde the verdict in the case of the Uilted States against the Honolulu Plan- tation Company, in which «the jury brought in a verdict awarding the com- pany $105,000 for its leasehold interest in lands wanted for the naval station at Pearl Harbor. The Judge held, in decid- ing the motion for a new trial, that the verdict was excessive, He announced that he would entér a judgment for $75 000, if the defendants chose to deduct $30,- 000’ from the verdict as rendered. The de- fendants have rejected this proposition, and the case has been set for a new trial in March. ’ The long standing Kamalo Sugar Com- pany case, which had been remanded from the Supreme Court for a further hearing in the Circuit Court, camge up before Judge Humphreys last Mofday. After two days of testimony the court Trendered a decision affirming the decree entered last April, by which the three de- fendants—Frank Foster, Frank Hustace and J. J. Egan, promoters of the com- pany—are adjudged guilty of defrauding the stockholders and are ordered to pay over to the company at once $35,000 in cash and 6000 shares of paid up stock, or $120,000 in cash, with intergst since the filing of the suit, in April, 1900. The de- fendants were alleged to haye taken the $155,000 as promoters’ fees. ‘W'he case will be appealed to the Supreme Court again. Thomas Krouse, a well known resident of Honolulu and proprietor of the Arling- ton Hotel, committed suicide on the 23d inst. by shooting himself twice in the breast. His wife and daughter are in San Francisco, and it is_supposed to have been on account of despondency because the former had deserted him that he killed himself. s Y SN SR T : Takes Knight Companion’s Place.

WOOL GROWERS ENTER PROTEST Complain of Statistician of the Department of Manufactures. HELENA, Mont., Feb. 6.—The Pacific Northwest Wool-growers’ Association to- day in a resolution addressed to Presi- dent Roosevelt and Congress attacked S. N. D. North, statisticlan of the depart- ment of manufactures under the Census Bureau. North, as secretary of the Na- tlonal Association of Wool Manufactur- ers, is leading the fight at Washington against the tariff on wool. The resolu- tions recite that: The Pacific Northwest Wool G: As- sociation is of the opinion that a: public official the activity of 8. N. D. North, in antagonizing the desires of the wool growers and stockmen of the country, is ing ad- vantage of his official position and that hig personal opposition is in bad taste, to say the least, considering the fact that he is to a certain extent the servant of the people whose manitest desire he is now seeking to circum- vent, The assoclation also unanimously passed resolutions indorsing the Grosvenor pure wool bill, now pending before Congress. The association indorsed the bill pro- viding a classified census of livestock every five years, asked Congress to au- thorize Federal inspectors to inspect sheep at any point and to provide severe penalties for the violation of inspection laws. W. E. Skinner, manager of the Inter- nationai Livestock Exposition at Chi- cago, was indorsed for the position eof manager of the livestock show at the St. Louis Exposition, and F. M. Malone of Miles City, Mont., for superintendent of the same department. At the afternoon session Dr. M. E. Knowles, State veterinarian, read a pa- per on livestock sanitary laws. After selecting Salt Lake as the next place of meeting officers were elected as follows: i President, Jesse M. Smith of Salt - Lake; secretary-treasurer, J. W. Bailey of Portland, Or.; vice presidents, Richard Scott, Oregon; A. F. Lagrow, Washington; Frank Hagenbarth, Idaho; W. K. Flowerre, Montana; S. Hickox, Utah; Patrick Sullivan, ~Wyoming; executive committee—J. N. Willlamson, Ore- gon; 8. J. Cameron, Washington; Frank ing, Idaho; O. P. Hatch, Utah; Timothy Kin- ney, Wyoming, and H. H. Nelson, Montana. The committee on resolutions made an- other report at the afternqon session. One resolution called for more equitable charges at the stockyards; another calls upon the Agricultural Department to fur- nish the wool-growers with Federal graders, whose duty it shall be to clas- sify wools before shipping and give them standard grades. The Interfor and War departments are asked to issue mutton rations as well as beef to Indians and soldlers, and the Northwestern Experi- ment Stations are asked to conduct ex- periments to prove which breed of sheep is best for mutton, which for wool and what cross makes the best general pur- pose sheep. s The members of the assoclation con- tributed $500, the major part to be sent to the natlonal association to assist in the fight at Washington for he Grosvenor shoddy bill. The association adjourned sine die this afternoon. CATHOLICS GRIEVE FOR FATHER JACQUET Affliction of the Well-Known Priest ‘Who Labored in Nome Greatly Deplored. SAN JOSE, Feb. 6.—The mnews ‘of the former well-known priest of this city, to an Oregon insane asylum from Nome has caused much sadness and sympathy among the Catholic residents of this city. Father Jacquet was connected with St. Joseph’s Church here for three years, and left to enter upon missionary works in Alaska. The Cathollie church and parish recently erected at Nome through the efforts of Father Jacquet was built from a fund of which a one-cent piece carried from this Shortly before his | departure for the north Father Jacquet auenaed a Catholic fair gl\Tn in. Turn Verein Hall. One evening little girl found a one-cent plece on the floor, and gave it to the father with the wish that he could do some good with it. Father Jacquet said he would take the coin to Nome and perhaps it could be made the nucleus of a large fund. With this penny the priest started a building fund for a church and parish house. Contributions were made freely, and in a few months buildings that cost over 312000 were erected. OTTUMWA, Towa, Feb. 6.—Hon. T. J. Phil- lips, late Democratic nominee for Governor, entered a plea of gullty to the charge of kick- ing Editor Moore because’of an article pub- lished in the Ottumwa Herald, reflecting. on him. He was fined PREFERS DEATH T0 PENITENTIARY Count De Lucenay Held for Bigamy Tries to Kill Himself., EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 8.—Count de Lu- cenay, the €California bigamist, who de- serted his wife and eloped from Los An- geles with 17-year-old Ruby Luckhardt, seems determined to He attempted suicide on three separate occasions to-day, once in a crowded courtroom, once by swallowing broken glass and once by try- ing to drown himself in a bathtub. Each time his effort to take his own life was frustrated just in the nick of time. The Count was given a preliminary hearing this morning on the charge of false swearing in making affidavit that the run- away girl was above 18, the age of con- sent in Texas. After a sensational trial the court bound him over to the Grand Jury in the sum of $1000, and in default of bail he was ordered back to jail. Just previous to the rendering of the decree the Count was seen to take a pellet from his pocket and swallow it. His bride of a month was by his side, having rejoined him for' the first time since his imprison- ment. Ten minutes after taking the drug the Count reeled and fell to the floor in convulsions. There was intense *exclte- ment as he was dragged out into the open alr, and physicians were summoned. They said he was suffering from the effects of strychnine poisoning, and administered the usual antidotes. An hour later the Count was sent back to jail partially re- stored. He was placed in a cell and left to recover. As soon as his guard had gone he attempted to drown himself in a bathtub, but was discovered before life was extinct. A bottle of gedicine was left beside his bed. He broXe the bottle inte fragments and was endeavoring to swallow them when the jailer interfered and prevented him. At present the Count refyses to converse with any one, and his actions indicate that he is feigning insanity. He will be arraigned on the charges of bigamy and adultery as soon as he is able to appear in «court. His girl-wife refuses to leave him, and although not permitted to see him she insists on occupying apartments at the jail. ¥rank Luckhardt, her broth- er, who offered a large reward for the ar- rest of the Count, conversed with her for the first time to-day.

WASHINGTON; Feb. 6.—The Senats Committes on Commerce to-day heard the Interests affected by the Nelson bill rela- tive to London dock charges. The whole matter was elaborateiy discussed in a re- port made by Embassador Choate, which report frequently was referred to in the discussion. John Crosby of Minneapolis appeared for the flour shippers and J. J. McKelvey for the lumbermen. These two interests are those most affected by the London dock charges. They want the charges for dockage included in the freights charged by the steamship compa- nies, and not carried as a separate ex~ pense. The representatives of the shipe pers claim that under the present system they are subject to discrimination. J. J. Hemphill, who represented the steamship companies, argued that the dock charges ought not to be included in the freight; that the steamship companies could not tell what the charges woyld be in the fu- ture, and that variouS circumstances might cause an increase of charges. Large frelght ships plying between the Umiteq States and London were at a disadvan- tage with the smaller ships, which did the carrying business from South Atlantie countries, because the small vessel could go farther up the Thames. It was stated during the hearing that London and Antwerp were the only great ports in the world where dock charges were not fixed by statute and specific, so that shippers s.r;fl ghlp companies know what the costs Wi e. o Railroads Fix Summer Rates.
