W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Of immense | importance are the conferences now In | progress between the President and | Bevators on the subject of anti-trust leg- i:latjon. These conferences deal with the | urwillingness of the Senate to attempt | seriously to do something at this session | of Congress. The House is macfienllyi ceriain to meet the popular demand and pess @ bili for the further regulation of | corporetions doing an interstate business, | but & palsy has overcome the movement 1> meet the trust question so far as the Senators are concerned. Belfeving that it is important for the continued success of the party waich he represents that there should be trusi, legislation, President Roosevelt has been supplementing his message with personal talks with some of the Senators whose support he must have if he is to get leg- islative action. Among the Senators with whom he has talked are Hoer of Massa- chusetts, chairman of thc Committee on Judieta: Hanna, chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, and Platt of Connecticut, a prominent member of | the Committee on Judiciary. He also will | have a conference with Senator Spooner, who, by common consent, holds the 0!-= fice of “harmonizer and legal adviser” the Senate. If the President can get the hearty co- | opératicn of these four powerful Senators he undoubtedly will arouse the Senate | from its present apathy and get trust legislation before Congress goes out of ofiice on March 4. These influential Sen- ators are all strongly inclined against trust legislation at this time, but for dif- feremt reasons. Presifent Roosevelt desires that some- thing should be done this winter—that at least a step, even if a small one, be taken. He agrees with Senators Hanna, Hoar, Erconer and O. H. Platt that if legisla- tion is going to ceause business distrust | &né gmve prosperity a shock, nothing ought to be done. Eenator Hanna and most of his asso- cates have taken the ground that the yassage of any bill whatever will have nden to check progress and make | pital timid t be definitely ascertained within & few days whether the President shall be fully supported by his party in the nate. PROGRAMME FOR HOUSE. London Dock Charge Bill Seems Des- tined to Defeat. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The House this | week hes no mapped-out programme be- yond the disposition of the London dock charge bill to-merrow and the report of the Elections Committee on the contested | electior ) the Tweifth Missouri district on Wednes- @ay. The London dock bill has been pressed by exporting interests, especially the miiling interests of the Northwest, and is opposed by the Atlantic shipping interests. The withdrawal last week from 1 dvocacy of the Lumbermen’s Associ- ton. which was supporting the measure, -m weaken it and its passage is consid- ered doubtful. ‘The Wagner-Butler case is somewhat of | @5 anomaly. Butler was unseated at the Jast session and his seat was declared wacent. He was re-elected in November | 5 8l the vacancy. having about 6009 ma- Jority on the face of the returns. His op- | ponent now contests, but in order to ob- | tain action before the 4th of March, the ! rules relating to the prelimtinaries of a | ccrtest, which mey be strung out for months, must be shortened. The compmit- | tee recommends that the period for pre- | paring the case, taking testimony, etc., | be shortened to forty days. If the legis. letive appropriation bill is completed in | time it probably will be taken up the lat- admitted without any stub- born contest. | Y 1 WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—In accordance | with the unanimous agreement of last | session, the Senate will take up the state- | hood bill next Wednesday and ft is ex- | pected to remain the unfinished business | for some time thereafter. The -bill un- doubtedly will provoke considerable de- bate, and it is generally believed that it | will continue to receive attention until .lhe adjournment for the Christmas holl- days at least. | Senator Beveridge, as chairman of the | Committee on Territories, will call the bill up on Wednesday and probably will | in favor of the substitute bill ‘presented by the committee. Other members of the committee who agree with him will fol- low. All of them will give careful atte tion to the testimony taken by the sub- | committee which recently visited the ter- | ritories. | The committee’s written report has not yet beeh submitted to the Senate and !lhll. too, probably will be put in on | Wednesday. ‘The report will analyze the testimony, dealing with the questions of soll, mines, agricultural possibilities, edu- ! cational facilities and general fitness of the population of the various Territories for statehood. It is generally understood that a strong pesition will be taken in op- position to the claims of New Mexico and Arizona. Attention will be given to pre- vious reports on the subject of statehood for those Territories, many of which arel- | severely ecriticized by the present commit- {tee on the ground that they fail entirely to represent the conditions.

OROVILLE, Dec. 7.—A right of way for the proposed road of the Sto¢kton and Beckwith Pass Rallway Company may not be obtained without & long fight in the ‘courts. The coveted route up the North Fork of the Feather River is cov- ered with placer mining locations of the North California Mining Company, which has a rajlroad bed laid out up that water course, has purchased terminal lands at Oroville, and s in a position, apparently, to immedijately commence the bullding of a rallroad. Until to-day it was thought by many here that the two companjes were in real- ity but one, but a few minutes before the time for the closing of the office of the County Clerk last evening a complaint was filed there in which the Stockton and Beckwith Pass Rallway Company Is Company and numerous locators, under whose nemes the locations above men- tioned stand are defendants.

Syventon Declares Minister Was the Aggressor and Is De- ‘termined to Have a Meeting. . PARIS, Dec. 7.—~The violent scenes in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, which marked the close of the session, were fol- lowed to-day by a lively discussion of the incidents in Parliamentary and official circles. A portion of the press treats the affair humorously as indicative of the ex- citability of the persons concerned. The most serlious journals, however, coment in a regretful tone on the incident. The account. published by the .Matin presents a veritable pugilistic encounter and even the Journal ‘Official records an exchange ot blows between the members of the Chamber. In an interview M. Syveton defends the course he took yesterday, declaring that Minister Valle was the aggressor. He as- serts that the affair will not end untii 3 meeting has occurred on the field of honor between him and the Minister. Concern- ing the summoning of a platoon of sol- diers, M. Syveton sald: “Let the majority beware of this pre- cedent. When the tfme arrives for soi- dlers to be introduced into the Chamber to intimidate the representatives nt th- people a dangerous state of affairs exis If force is to rule, then the majority wlll find- itself before long confronted with soldiers.” M. Syveton has chosen the Marquis de Dion and M. Guiot de Villenuv as his seconds to meet the seconds appointed by Minister Valle. As a preliminary to a meeting, however, it must be decided who was the aggressor and whether the of- fense comes within the code of honor. Deputy Syveton’s personal offense against Minister Valle consisted of giving him the lle, while the Minister's personal offense consists of having called M. Syve- ton a “wretch.” A further complication is pointed out by the Figaro, which says that duelling is practically interdicted among officials in authority, and to engage in a duel is tan- tamount to the giving up of his portfolio by an official. The general belief is that the seconds will determine that no cause for a duel exists. Deputy Coutant has been interviewed and says that as the Chamber voted his expulsion and voted confidence in the Gov- erament, he will appeal to his con- stituents -for vindication. | AMERICAN TO GET m WAGES Mexican Company ny Decldés to Give Them Standard Pay on & EAGLE PABSS, Texas, Dec. 7.—The ma- chinists in the shops of the Mexican In- ternational at Ciudad Porferio Dias have been notified that from December 1 they American wages on a gold basis. The machinists will get $3 30 and the bollermakers $3 50 per day in American money or in Mexican silver at the average rate of exchange for the month in which they work. This is an eintirely new departure to Mexican rail- roading and was caused by the fact that Americans could not be held at the old rates. The advance applies only to Amer- icans.
