It was known to members of the committee that there was opposi- ion to the confirmation of Lane, and therefore it was referred to a sub-com- mittee, which will hear all objections and report to the full committee. No formal protest against the nom- s been made, although it has ared by certain Pacific Coast ators that they believe that the ap- pointment should have been given to a 1blican. The same view is held by Fastern Senators, and it is pre- many dicted that the nomination may be held up for some time. It was stated to- day that Senator.Cullom desired that no action be taken until he could con- sider the case. The nomination of Lane is to suc- ceed Commissioner Fifer. BLOOMING!

W. | overnment out of public lands in South Da- | ADMINISTRATION iSeverely Criticizes Methods | of President in the Santo Domingo and Canal Affairs |HE ALLEGES TRICKERY Senator Asserts That Kaiser- Like Ways Have Been Im- WASHINGTON, Dec. ~The Panama | canal was again under consideration by | the Senate to-day, and Tillman occupied the most of the time given to that sub- ject. except when he gave way to ques- tions or interruptions by other Senators. He did not indicate any intention of op- position to the passage of the “appropria- | tion bill, but he critlcised the methods of the Canal Commission in many of its transacticns. He ralsed the question as to whether President Shonts is still in the employ of the Clover Leaf Railroad, and said that | the railway register still carried his name as the head of that road. He also sharply criticised the employment of Secretary | Bishop as a press representative, and Hale joined in this censure, saying that Bishop's employment in that capacity is a reflaction not only on Congress, but on the pre A of Tillman's remarks was de- voted to a criticism of the President's | polfey in Santo Domingo. and Spooner de- fended the President's course. | CALLS IT TRICKERY. | Spooner declared that the President has not done anything to carry the unrati treaty into effect and insisted upon Till- man specifying anything. In reply, Till- man reiterated that our fleet was kept in Dominican waters. He said that Spooner was a supple acrobat in the use of words “Is not our present attitude the same | as it would be if the treaty had been ratified?” asked Tillman, and Spooner | replied: *“Not at all,” adding that if the | treaty had been ratified the United | States would have its own revenue agents fn Santo Domingo,, whereas the present agents were the result of appointment by rt Who suggested thelr ~appointment?” Tillman asked, and Spooner replled that the President of the United States had done so. Tillman contended that this ad- mission justified all that he said. | “It is beating about the bush; the ac- complishment of what is wanted by trick- ery. It is play on words to justify the usurpation,” 1d Spooner sted t there no trickery and defended the action of | the President. Trickery was not a nice thing to impute. he sald, and Tillman in- terrupted to sar that “when a man complishes by unlawful methods what he cannot otherwise accomplish I ecall it trickery.” Spooner responded that the term was “nasty and undignified and should not be used in speaking of the head of a co-or- ordinate branch of the Government Tillman—"“Let the Senator suggest better one then.” Spooner—*The Senator’'s whole idea so wrong that it cannot be made right. Tiliman then asked what excuse the President had for not entirely withdraw- ing from Santo Domingo and leaving the situation alone, and Spooner replied that the Senate should not have adjourned without acting on the treaty as to rati- ing or rejecting it, as the failure had e effect of leaving the President in tion of embarrassment. It was ihe he & e had been a of Santo Domingo to malntain the status quo to the end of preventing the selzure of her custom-houses or the | segregation of her revenues. | Money spoke dispamgingly of the Presi- | dent’s disposition to participate in the af- fairs of Santo Domingo without the con- sent of Congress.. “‘Walk softly, carry a big stick and vou will go far, says the President.” said Money, “and T interpret this expre: slon to mean that the President means to walk softly in dealing with the big n tions, and to use the big stick in dealing with the weak when he sets asideg the | 1aw of the land and substitutes for it his | own judgment.” ‘ “KAISER-LIKE METHODS.” A resolution by Carmack instructing the | Senate Committee on Naval Affairs to in- | quire into reports of brutality practiced | by hazers upon students at the Naval | | Academy of Annapolis, with a view to | | putting a stop to such practices, was | adopted. Proceeding to discuss the adverse crifi- cism of the Panama Rallroad manage- | ment, Tillman provoked protests from Gallinger and Allison, the former calling | attention to preparations to double track | the rafiroad to relieve the blockade and | | the 1atter saying that more than half of | | the money to be appropriated in the pend- | ing bill is to be used for improvements to | | the railroad and wharves. | Tillman assertéd that the issuance of | bonds by the Panama Ralilroad is-illegal, declaring it amounted to an issue of bonds by the Panama Canal Commission. He declared that the whole thing was a | “Rocus pocus” and that the raflroad and Panama Canal Commission are one so far th= actual conditions are concerned. “Technically,” sald Tillman, “I sup- pose they were all right. Technically Taft was a king in the Philippines, but we are degenerating far away from a | self-governing people in our management of these affairs. I think I shall use a former phrase of mine, that Kaiser-like methods have been imported frem the Philippines. Of course Taft has been used to baving his own way.” Tillman argued finally that Congress sh-ould say whether this debt should be created. He thought the money was | needed but said he did not like the way it was being obtained. He protested against what he called a Dominican or Morales way of doing business, declared the whole procedure to have been a usurpation of power. Tillman nad read a newspaper publication alleging importa- tion into the canal zone of women from Martinique for immoral purposes, that the Government ship had been used and that canal officials in the zone had sanc- tioned the transaction. Lodge interrupt- ed to say that he had considered the charge that a Government vessel had been used ‘‘a matter so monstrous” that | he had talked over the telephone with the Secretary of War and that official had authorized him to say “that the charge was a lie.” Tillman replied that he would be will- ing to accept the Secretary’s statement concerning a case in regard to which he has personal information, but as he has no snch information in this case, he thought there should be an investigation. When the Senate adjourned the canai bill was still pending, but there was an agreement for a vote to-morrow. LRI T TO AMEND DOMINICAN TREATY. i iy Island Congress Desires to Be Recog- nized in Convention. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—It devel- oped to-day at a meeting of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations that it is Santo Domingo and not the United States that is anxious to have amend- ed the pending treaty in relation to Dominican financial affairs. The seventh article of the treaty is construed to give | { a Royal Baking Powder insures the healthfulness of our bread foods, making them also most appetizing. In every way the superior baking preparation. When there are in the market so many impure and unwholesome mixtures called baking powders which, in order to produce them at a low cost, are made from alum acids or bone phosphates, consumers will wisely adhere to the Royal, whose good qualities they have proven, and whose superior purity and wholesomeness have been conclusively established by the Govern- ment food reports. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.. NEW YORK the United States authority to send warships to the ports of the republic to enforce the terms of fhe treaty and to put down any disorder that might threaten the smooth operation of the convention. Secretary Root was before the Senate committee to-day and testified that the Dominlcan treaty amended to provide that such assistance m be called for by the Congress of Santo Domingo. Under the present phraseology it appears that the authority to call uron the United States rests with the President of Santo Do- mingo. Without the amendment, it is said. the Dominican republic would re- fuse to ratify the convention, as it is claimed by the Dominican opponents to the prescnt treaty that if put in op- cration in its present form President Morales could hold the Presidency for- | ever, anq that his heirs would take it in succession. No action was taken con- cerning the tres doii NEW IMMIGRATION BILL. Hayes Drafts Measure to Keep Out Un- desirable Allens. WASHINGTON, Dszc. 15.—Representa- tive Hayes of California to-day intro- duced two important bills, one amend- ing the immigration”laws in conformity with the recommendations and ideas of the Department of Commerce and Labor, and the other to prevent the fraudulent naturalization of aliens. In the immigration bill the head tax is increased from § to $20 and the ex- cluded class is enlarged to embrace per- sons dependent on their own exertions who are afflicted with chronic diseases or whose physical or mental condition is poor; those over 10 years who cannot read and write: those over 6) dependent upon thelr own exertions, and children under 17. Deportation is provided for all unnat- uralized aliens who become public charges or are adjudged insane or who are convicted of misdemeanor showing moral turpitude. The section of the present law prohib- iting the landing of aliens at any time and place other than that designated by the immigration officers is strengthened, making it absolutely the duty of the masters of vessels to prevent such land- ing. Exceptions are made in the cases of persons who would otherwise come within the exclusion provisions where the operation of the law would tend to separate members of the same immediate family. A bureau of information provided for at each immigration station to furnish people desired to have the/ {data concerning desirable localitles for settlement In another section of this bill Hayes raises the period of residence prior to naturalization from five to ten years, and gives the United States courts the power to review the decrees of naturalization within five years. A bureau of naturalization under the Department of Commerce and Labor is created. ST B PHILIPPINE RAILWAY BIDS.

LNt IMPORTS OF SUGAR. d Cuba Supply Vast Amount. 3 WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.—The report of the Bureau of Statistics on the sugar brought into the United States during the year 1905 shows that of the $150.- 000,000 worth of sugar brought in dur- ing that period $50,000,000 worth came from Hawall. Porto Rico and the Philippines. This shows a decided in crease above previous years. The value of sugar imported from Island Colonies aggresate | Cuba this year also far higher than the value of the amount imported last vear, though ti ity was about 300,000 pounds le: In previous y#ars only a very small quantity of beet sugar was imported.
