WASHINGTON, June 30.—Conferees of | both branches of Congress have agreed | upon the bill for the civil government of | | the Philippines. In the House, Cooper of | Wisconsin, chairman of the Committee | | on Insular Affairs, presented the confer- i i | ence report on the bill, his statement be- ing as follows: “There were three important points of | | aifference between the two houses, namely, the provisions in the House bill for a legislature, another in relation to | lands and another in relation to coinage. | o — i The Senate recedes from its disagreement “71tc the provision for la Yegisiatw'e avd | agrees to it with af Awitadment providing | that within two years after the census }prnvmed for in the House bill has been | completéd, if in ‘the meanwhile a condition | of general peace and good order shall have | prevailed, the President shall authorize | the Philippine Commision to call a general | election of delegates to a popular assem- | by of the people of that portion of the | islapds not inhabited by Moros and pagan | tribes, which shall be kriown as the Phil- | ippine Assembly. | “As to the qualification of voters, the | power of the Assembly and of the Legis- lature and of the qualifications of the | members of the Assembly, the Senate has | agreed substantially to the House provis- | jon.

WASHINGTON, June 30.—Elkins of day in support of his resolution providing for the annexation by the United States of the island of Cuba. Elkins said that his resolution had been misunderstood. It had no bearing on Cuban reciprocity and was not intended to have any. The reso- Crba in an offensive way. It provided that the Cubans must take the initiative, and only after they had asked for an- nexation could the United States act. He pointed out that many distinguished and patriotic American statesmen, from Je! ferson to McKinley, had favored annex tion, and he thought the present was an opportune time “to carry into effect the well-defined wishes of a majority of the people of Cuba and the United States in regard to annexation. It is in the inter- est of both countries. The environments of Cuba, with the trials and difficulties that Weset her on the threshold of her national life, stand in the way of her be- ing 10ng an independent nation, while as a State in the American Union her people would be prosperous and progressive and enjoy the liberty and all the Llessings that would flow from being part of the best, greatest and freest government in the world.

WASHINGTON, June 30.—Several Sen- ators.appear determined to make trouble for Brigadler General Leonard Wood, U. 8.. A’ They may-also make trouble for the President, who is Wood's firm friend and backer. Tt is said that the enmity tc Wood has been developing a long time. Senator ~Hanna ° became very bitter toward Wood, because of his treatment of Estes G. Rathbone, and at one-time in the winter Hanna threatened to go after Wood hot foot, declaring that the ex- travagance Rathbone practiced in Cuba was the skimplest kind of frugality when compared with the way that Wood lived there. Hanna Kept quiet for the time being, but he is still in a mood to make a fuss at any time, and he will be sure to do it if Wood ever comes before the Sen- ate for promotion. Senator Teller of Colorado, the man who brought to light Wood's. contribution from the Cuban treasury In behalf of the reciprocity agitation, is another Senator who has it in for Wood. An agent of Tel- ler has been in Cyba lately, and it was this agent who dug up the Thurber inci- dent. The agent is said to have got hold of other papers that are now in the pos- session of ‘Senator Teller ready to be used- when ‘they will -be most ‘effective in stopping the march of General Wood toward the goal that he seeks—that of general commandihg the army of the United States. There are a dozen Senators who dislike Wood so greatly that they never refer to him as General Wood ‘at all, but call him Dr. Wood, which was his title at the sutbreak o L amount of land to be held by corporations from 2000 hectares to 1024 hectares. The Senate has further agreed to the House provision restricting the ownership and control by members of corporations of mining and agricultural lands, with addi- tional stringent provisions limiting those holdings. “In the coinage provision reported the Senate recedes from its provision for the coinage of a Philippine silver dollar, and the House recedes from its provision for the establishment of a gold standard. “The report agrees upon the provision for subsidiary coins and minor coins, the names being those of the House bill and substantially as provided in the House bill. “The provisions relating to banks are eliminated from the bill. ‘““The bill contains the legislative limita- tions and bill of rights complete, as in the House bill. “The mining provisions of the bill are a combination of the provisions of the mining features of the two bills. *“Otherwise, the bill reported does not substantially differ from the bill passed by the House.” Cooper explained that differences upon the coinage provisions were -difficult of WORKING UNDER A PRESSURE LawmakersHurrying All the Pending Measures. WASHINGTON, June 30.—With final ad- journment probable to-morrow, the House worked under high pressure from noon to- day until far into the night. As a pre- liminary several resolutions were adopted to grease the legislative wheels. The rule providing for the printing of confer- ence reports before consideration was sus- pended until the end of the session, and a resolution was adopted making a mo- tion to suspend the rules in order at any time. The House then got down to busi- ness. A partial report on the general defi- clency appropriation bill was adopted, and after a prolonged fight the House, by a vote of 118 to 101, adopted the Senate amendment to appropriate $500,000 for the Buffalo Exposition and then sent the bill back to conference. The Senate amend- ments to appropriate $160,000 for the Charleston Exposition and $1,000,000 to pay the Hawailan fire bubonic plague awards were defeated. Subsequently at the night session the House reversed its action and assented to the Senate amendments mak- ing an appropriation for the Charleston Exposition. At the evening session the Dick militia bill, which is to be used as a stop-gap for the remainder of the session while the House is walting for conference reports, was teken up. The adjournment resolu- tion is to be withheld until the confer- ence report on the Philippine bill is adopt- ed by the Senate. In the Senate the following bills were passed among other: To pay to Rear iral Schley, retired. the pay and al- ::evl:nce of rear admiral t:: the ‘ct:lve n(!t: \ppropriating $10,000 for the erection of a :utuap of C:J‘r‘;amodore John D. Sloat In the ‘eity of Monterey, Cal.; for the allowance of certain war claims reported by the ac- counting "officers of the United States Treasury Department., and authorizing ‘the adjustment of rights of settlers on t{he Navajo Indian reservation, Arizona. Y adjustment and finally resulted in drop- ping both Senate and House provisions out. Speaking of the provisions for the disposition of the public lands, he ex- pressed the opinion that they were satis- factory and that under them it would be absolutely impossible to exploit the islands. The ianguage of the legislature pro- vision, ‘he sald, would make the election cf a Legislature mandatory as soon as the conditions were fulfilled. Jones of Virginia, the ranking minority member of the Insular Committee, de- clared that this statement did not cover one-tenth of the changes made. Yet, he said, the House was expected in an hour to vote on the report. There was, he in- sisted, no need for any urgent haste. He expressed the opinion that the substitute as agreed to by the conferees was an im- provement over both bills. Jones criticized the public land provi- sions, saying the Philippine Commission would have the power to sell or dispose of the public lands before rules and regu- lations were promulgated. He also crit- icized the legislative provision as agreed to by the conferees. Under it, he declar- ed, no man could tell when a popular as- semblage would be created. ‘Willlams of Iilinofs said if the adminis- LOCATES ICE-HELD VESSELS Cutter Thetis Finds the Portland and the Jeanie. Boldly Forces a Way to Imprisoned Steamers. Will Rescue Passen= gers at First Sign of Danger. - -3 Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, June 30.—The amers Port- land and Jeanie of the Nome fleet are re- ported safe, though still locked in the ice floes of the Arctic. The passengers on board both steamers are certaipn of de- livery from harm, as the revenue cutter Thetis, standing off from the icepack, is ready to render any assistance made necessary by the movement of the ice. News of the long missing steamers was brought by the steamship Centennial, which arrived in port' to-day. This news came to Nome only a few hours prior to the Centennial's departure, having been brought by the steam whaler Belvedere, which arrived from the . The Belvedere was in sight of both the Portland and the Jeanie and left them to return to Nome on after her officers had assured therselves that they could | render no assistance to the beleaguered vessels. When the Belvedere left the scene of captivity the revenue cutter Thetis was standing by, ready to render any assistance made by a change in the condition of the ice or the position of the icebound ships. CAPTAIN HEALY PRAISED. When the Centennial left Nome the northern camp was singing the praises of Captain Michael A. Healy of the Thetis. Of the many vessels which took up the search for the Portland and Jeanie, his was the first to find the endangered vesgels, and the quirness with which he | located them waws e only by his daring in gaining the position in which the Belvedere left-him. Healy found the Portland and Jeanie within five days after he left Nome on the quest. In order to approach near enough to the vessels to be able to land their passengers, should/ the i signs of breaking, it w: n the Thetis to encounter the same s that had placed the two imprisoned ves- sels in their perilous predicament. tain Healy did not hesitate. Fr Thetis into the drifting ice, he “bucked” his way to the main pack that held the Portland and Jeanie. For days he was in danger of being crushed or imprisoned by the floes, but gradually the drift ice disappeared, and the Thetis, when the Belvedere left, was enabled to hover near the impriscned vessels. Should their pa: sengers and crews appear at any time to be 1n danger, the Thetis will take them aboard. To Captain Healy's promptness and nautical skill Nome gives the credit for placing several hundred lives out of danger. FLENTY OF FOOD AND WATER, At the time they were last sighted the Portland had been out of Seattle, Nome- bound, for fifty<two days and the Jeanie necessary forty-eight days, but signals from both vessels to the Belvedere announced that all was well on board each vessel; food and water were plentiful and the general condition cheerful. The messages con- veyed the sentiment of the officers of the imprisoned vessels that their feeling of cheerfulness was greatly augmented by the arrival on the scene of the Thetis. The Centennial left Nome on the morn- ing of June 20. Purser McDonald of the Centennial talked with the officers of the Belvedere on the beach at Nome. “The information concerning the condi- tlon of the vesssels,” sald he, “is suf- ficlently in detail to show that they are not in any serious danger. They are still in the ice and for the present powerless to move. But the ice is soft'and is rapid- ly breaking up, so that within a few days, 1t is expected, they will be released. There was no communication between the free boats and the imprisoncd ones, except by signals, so that there is no- detailed in- formation concerning those on board. We only know in a general way that every thing is well, which means that the health of passengers and crew continues good; that there is sufficlent food and water and that no danger is anticipated by the officers of the imprisoned vessels, “The report that the captain of the Jeanie had sent out a letter is the. purest nonsense. There was no means of com- munication. I talked on the Nome beach with the officer of the Belvedere who brought out the news from the boats and he distinctly sald to me that no messages had passed from the icebound vessels." This news that the Jeanie is locked in the ice effectually disposes of the report coming through the natives of the Nuni- vak_Islands that she was seen sinking oft the coast of one of those islands a few weeks ago. At the time the report was brought out there was some inclination to aceept it as referring to the Jeanie, as that vessel had not at that time reported north of Dutch Harbor. The Portland left Seattle for Nome on April 26 and the Jeanie on May 1. Both vessels carried full lists of passengers, but, in addition to. their regular stores, both carried large consignments of food supplies, so there is absolutely no danger of a shortage of food. Each also had Continued on Page Four, plenty of water for a ninety days’ voyage, #0 there is no danger from that score.
