It finally was elimi- nated from the Indian bill. The civil service debate was renewed and there yolicy to be k day 4 was a discussion of the | pursued in securing employes for wor on the Pa a Canal. The old controversy over Choctaw Indian leases was revived by a motion by Kean to amend the committee amendment for the payment of $50,000 out of the Choctaw funds to J.

Several Senators spoke on the merits of Spyh- er’s claim, all agreeing that his ser- vices to the Indians had been that of &n orney and entirely legal and legitimate. On motion of Patterson »unt to be paid te Sypher was $25,000, and the amend- odified, after three was defeated by a as of debate hours vote of 23 to 25 The provision exempting farmers at Indian agencies from the requirement to undergo a civil service examination was reverted to and the general civil ce discussed.

He the instructions of the to the Isthmian Canal Com- ser mission as tending to show that the chief executiv has receded from his advanced position on the general ap- plication of the civil service principles. No one had ever supposed originally, he said, that principle would be applied to min places as it had been. Hoar said the supplying of em- ployes for canal work was a different and expressed the opinion that places connected with the canal uld be filled on the reg- ommendation of public men, regard- less of politics. Otherwise the selec- tions might be as unsatisfactory as are those made under present systems in vogue filling Federal places in the Southern States. The amendment exempting Indian agency farmers from the civil service requirement was agreed to, and, with- out concluding consideration of the bill, the Senate at 5:34 p. m. went into executive session and at 5:36 p. m. ad- Jjourned ————— DAUGHTER OF CONSUL FEE DIES OF PLAGUE Representative at Bombay, India, Wires News of Misfortune and Says Wife Is Il WASHINGTO March 23.—A pa- thetic mesage came to-day to the State Department from United States Consul Fee at Bombay, India, dated 1o-day and addressed to Assistant Sec- retary Loomis, as follows Daughter dead—plague; wife at- tacked.” Fee is a native of Ohio and was ap- pointed in 1899.

WASHINGTON, March —The | House Judiclary Committee to-day con | tinued the hearing on the anti-injunc- |tion bill. Senator Matson of Indiang spoke in opposition to it and said the {1abor unions’ policy was to intimidate {and coerce. He characterized Jonn Mitchell as.the most conservative labor leader in this country, but said no man ever uttered a greater untruth than Mitchell when he declared “Once a , workingman, always a workingman.” J. C. McCloskey of Pittsburg detailed to the committee the beneficial effecis of the infunction in labor troubles in Fittsburg. The afternoon session of the hearing was devoted to arguments in favor of the bill. H. R. Fulier, representing the Railway Trainmen's organization; An- drew Furuseth, representing the Amer- ican Seamen's Union, and President Gompers of the American Federation of Lapor were heard. The hearing ended with Gompers’ testimony. Fuller declared the opponents of the bfll had acknowledged that they were practically in favor of government by injunction, which would abolish trial by jury and all the rights that labor bholds sacred. If the bill was uncon- stitutional, its opponents as made to the constitution. He criticized Representative Hogg of Colorado for ceming before the committee and re- citing the reign of crime in his State, szying Mr. Hogg should have been con- | tent to oppose the bill on the floor, and that murder and crime were questions entirely outside of its scope, as the bill legalized neither. Furuseth reviewed the religious and social development of the world from the Roman empire to the present time, He said that the opponents of the bill held that the product of labor was a property right. This right had been admitted in every injunction that had been issued against labor, but it was au entirely erroneous assumption. Gompers challenged many of the statements of the oppunents of the measure. He déclared that the use of the injunction against labor was of comparatively recent origin and en- tirely unjustified, and in speaking of the extent to which labor is organized he said: “I agree that we do not represent a majority of the workingmen of the country, but I venture to say that we represent the most intelligent, the most skilifuli and the most manly of the workingmen of the country, and this, too, without any reflection upon the ncn-union men.” ————— INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST OF Orders Issued at Washington Trans- ferring Officers of the Army and Navy—Postal Changes.

The appropriation for the | railwvay mail service was carefully | scrutinized, and in-the case of jnland mail transportation by star routes the | appropriation was scaled down from $8,100,000 to $7,850,000. The question as to the length of time a postal car may !be used before it becomes unfit for service was settled by the House when an amendment by Tawney of Minne- sota was adopted providing that no | part of the appropriation shall be used | | | for the rental of cars which have been | in service for more than fifteen years. | An unsuccessful fight was made against the appropriations for special | mail facilities over trunk lines south | from Washington and west from Kan- | sas City. | To the provision in the bill appro- priating $5,736,000 for railway postal car | service Tawney of Minnesota offered | an amendment providing that no part | | of the sum shall be expended for use of cars in the railway mail service that have been used in said service more than fifteen years. The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 61 to 59. An amendment by Snapp of Illinois providing that out of the appropriation of $1,200,000 for mail messenger service | $100,000 shall be allotted to the under- ground tunnel system in Chicago was agreed to after considerable debate. Representative Hughes of New Jer- sey offered an amendment limiting the appropriation for mail bags so that it shall not be available for the purchase or repair of mail bags made in prisons | or by convicts, declared the Gardner of New Jersey situation ridiculous. United States mail bags, he said, were | being made in New Jersey State pris- ons. At the same time those prisons contained United States prisoners, who, under the law, are forbidden to work on Government supplies. Side by side with these Federal prisoners were State prisoners, and these were making mail bags for the Government. the amendment to prohibit this should g0 in the bill. By unanimous consent the sectton of the bill and the amend- ment temporarily were passed over. Cowherd of Missouri called attention | to the report of the postal commission | which, he said, had expressed the opin ion that the rates paid the railroads for carrying the malls should not be reduced, and he made an extended argument in support of this view. e was interrupted by'Baker of New York { who, with some passion, inquired ‘if the gentleman maintains that men who have raliroad passes in their poclets are not prejudiced in favor of the rail- roads?” Cowherd replied, amid applaus?, that he would leave it to the House whether he had been so informed. Baker excitedly declared that there | were some members who have been in- fcrmed, which called for a rebuke from | the chair, who said that Baker had | transgressed the rules of orderly pr | cedure in the House. Smith’'s amendment was lost, 43 to 71. Hughes then withdrew his former amendment regarding the making or repairing of mail bags in prisons and offered-a substitute, which was agreed to, providing, “that hereafter no cag- tract shall be entered into by the Post- office Department for the purchase of material or supplies to be manufac- tured by convict labor.” Moon of Tennessee moved to strike | out the entire provision appropflntin¢3 $142,728 for speciasl mail facilities on trunk lines from Washington to At- lanta and New Orleans, but it was lost, 80 to 83. An amendment by Robinson of Indiana to strike out the provision of $25,000 for special facilifties on trunk lines from Kamsas City to Newton, Kans., 2lso was lost, 65 to 69. At 5:10 p. m. the House adjourned. —_—————— LEONIDAS HUBBARD JR.'S DEATH IS CONFIRMED | | i | Letter Tells of Fate of the~Explorer and of Narrow Escape of the ‘Writer. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.,, March 23.
