Immediately after the routine morn- g business had been disposed of the iip subsidy bill was laid before the Senate d its consideration resumed. Spooner criticized many of the de tails of the bill, among others that requiring that a part of all crews of sea-going vessels should be members of the naval reserve. Frye remarked that the Wisconsin Senator must have got his idea from Furuseth, the Washington representa- tive of the Sailors’ Union of the Pa- cific Coast. Spooner replied with a defense of Furuseth and his business in Washing- ton, and said that, while he was not adverse to obtaining information from any reputable source, he was careful not to present the views. of any one but himself. He offered an amendment defining the qualifications of seamen. Frye said that Furuseth had been in Washington for twenty years and was not now a sailor. As chairman of the committee he had adopted some of the Furuseth suggestions. He added was a bill pending before the Committee on Commerce which was intended to meet many of Spooner's criticisms. Frye made a general speech in sup- port of the bill, saying that the $200,- 000,000 paid annually to foreign ships should be wused in developing an American merchant marine. He said the cost of operating American vessels was almost double that of foreign ves- sels, and that the United States should isthmus a subver ton per 3 A 10,000 offic eive the conditions. GALLINGER CLOSES DEBATE. Speeches were also made by Messrs. Newlands, Patterson, Clay, Fulton, Ba- con, Scott and Perkins, and Gallinger closed the debate with a brief reply to the eriticisms made by other speakers. Promptly at § o'clock the Senate began voting on the various amend- ments. Many important amendments were accepted by the Senate without division, and these included most of those suggested by Allison. The im- portant changes made were the fol- lowing: Including seamen engaged in the trade of the Great Lakes and the coast in the Naval Reserve; limiting the re- serve to 10,000 men; requiring annual instead of gross appropriations; con- fining the subsidy to cargo vessels and steam vessels of more than 1000 tons, sailing vessels of more than 200 tons and fishing vessels of more than 20, tons, including American vessels en- gaged exclusively in foreign trade from: the benefits of the bill giving authority to the United States to take immediate pos- session of a subsidized vessel for its ! own use in case of emergency; increas- | ing to one-fourth after 1912 the number of American citizens required in the | of subsidized ships; increasing | the subsidized gulf coast lines from | four to six and the Pacific Coast lines from three to four, and providing that ! they shall depart from Puget’ Sound | and the Columbia River. The first aye and no vote was taken on a motion by Bacon to strike out the provision for a naval reserve. It was lost, 25 to 39. Patterson then submitted his amend- ment providing that no part of the sub- sidy should be paid to ships employing Chinese as part of their crews. The amendment was lost, 17 to 47. Spooner moved to strike out the pro- less than six months, and the motion prevailed, 34 to 30. This was the only amendment made to the bill in opposi- tion to the wishes of its supporters.

An amendment by McLaurin, provid- ing that no part of the subsidies pro- vided for should be paid to Senators, members of the House or other Federal officers, was voted down without divi- All the votes for the bill were! | e L ey — JENATOR "I GALLINGERE ¥ ° JENATOR GEOEGE C.

Dr. Ed- ward Everett Hale, the venerable chap- lain of the Senate, and Booker T. Wash- ington, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute, presented to the President in the east room of the White House to-day about thirty of the students of the indus- trial institute located at Manassas, Va. The students sang two or three songs for the President, who afterward greeted each one of them personally. After listen- ing to the songs the President made the following remarks to the gathering: The other day a great literary man who was peculfarly interested in popular songs in the music developed by the gifferent peoples of the old world came here &nd he happened to mention incidentally to me that as far as he could see there were but two chances for the development of the schools of American mu- sic, of American singing, and these would come, one from the colored and one from the vanishing Indlan folk, especially those of the Southwest.

An attempt to land an alien not duly admitted is made a misdemeanor, instead of an unlawful act, as at present. The provision of the present law, which imposes a fine of $100 on steamship com- panfes for bringing persons affiicted with a loathsome or a dangerous con- tagious disease, is extended to include the bringing of idiots, imbeciles, feeble- minded persons, insane persons and epi- leptics. It is also provided that masters of vessels carrying allens from ports of the United States to foreign ports shall furnish complete descriptive lists or mani- fests of all outgoing aliens. TAFT FAVORS DIRECT LINE TO PHILIPPINES Thinks Steamships From San Francisco Would Build Up Island Trade. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Secretary Taft said to-day before the Senate Committee on the Philippines that he favors a direct commercial steamship line hetween San Francisco and the isl- ande. The Filipino merchants would then be encouraged to visit the United States and buy much of their supplies, now obtained in other markets. It was disclosed during the hearing that the Amerlcan export trade with the Philip- pines in 1904 was less than $5,000,000, while the Filipinos bought from other countries about $50,000,000 worth eof merchandise. ; LONDON, Feb, 14—-The Irish Parllamentary party this afternoon declared against the mem.

The debate availed noth- ing, so far as the legislation was con- cerned. as the two amendments on the proposition—first, not to appropri- ate anything for fortifications In the Fhilippines, and, second, to forbid the expenditure of any money at Subig Bay, were defeated. The minority took some pains to make plain the position of Bryan in his campaign for the’ ratification of the Paris tre: of peace, that Bryan wanted first to acquire the Philippines and then give their inhabitants free- dom. This was accomplished finally by having placed In the record a let- ter written by Bryan some time ago on the subject. As to the question of the location of a naval station, army experts were quoted liberally against having it at Subig Bay, and naval au- thorities were put on record in favor of a station at that place. It was pointed out that wherever the navy went with fits station there the army would have to go with its fortifications. DEFENSES FOR ISLANDS. The bill does not specify where these defenses shall be located, but appro- priates $600,000 to be divided between the Philippines and Hawaii. The bill carries a total of $4,353,9923 for fortifi- cations and their arrmament. It was rassed exactly as reported by the com- mittee. Smith of Iowa strongly objected to a remark that this country should ever be driven from the Philippines by a foreign nation, as was Spain, because of the lack of proper defense. This aroused Williams, the minority leadér, who said the proper defense there was adequate naval power, and not land fortifications. If by the lack of fortifications this country could run a chance of losing “the blessed archi- pelago” he would be pleased. At this point Sibley of Pennsylvania asked the Speaker to refliect that it was “the, great Democratic leader” whose influence had fastened the Philippines on the United States. “That is one of those awkward ques- tions,” began Williams in reply, and the Republicans laughed. He contin- ued by expressing his admiration and personal affection for Bryan, and then said: “He made the great mistake of his life when he did not leave you people free to do what you wanted to. “But,” he declared, “you cannot escape from your party responsibility.” A general post mortem on the inaugura- | tion of the Philippines policy, and incl-| dentally regarding the many political be- liefs charged to Sibley of Pennsylvania, resulted when Sibley took the floor fol- lowing Willlams. The members hugely enjoyed the skirmish which took place between Sibley and Williams. DEFINES BRYAN'S POSITION. In depicting the good that had been done in the islands by the introduction of the Bible, the school and civilization, Sibley was accused of taking God into partnership with the Republican party. When this was not the case, he retorted, it was time for the party to get out of business. Willlams set forth Bryan's position that justice to the Filipinos would be more epeedily secured by this Government tak- ing the islands and then giving them in- dependence. 2 An amendment offered by Fitzgerald of New York provided that no part of the amount appropriated for the Philippines should be expended in Subig Bay. Fitzgerald asserted there was a plan to spend $30,000,000 for a naval station at Olongapo. Foss held this to be a ridic- ulous statement—that $9,000,000 was the highest estimate. Foss placed in the rec- ord a letter from Admiral Dewey, dated yesterday. favoring the location of a naval station at Subig Bay. Payne of New York favored the Fitz- gerald amendment, saying army officers held that it was impossible to fortify Su- big Bay against a land force, and that it would be necessary to move a mountain into the sea before the naval station could be constructed. He advocated fortifying the island of Batan, where there was a good harbor and also abundant coal mines. Should the amendment prevail, he said, the $400,000 would be spent at Manila, where it was important to fortify. The Fitzgerald amendment was voted down, although supported by eleven Re- publicans, the vote being 65 to 119. Among the Republicans supporting the amend- ment were Longworth of Ohlo, Payne of New York, Hepburn of Towa, Hill of Con- necticut and Grosvenor of Ohio. An unsuccessful attempt was made by Fitzgerald to eliminate from the bill an ftem of $100,000 for the purchase of am- munition for guns which he said were not yet mounted. The bill was passed without opposition at 5:15 o’clock, and two minutes later the House adjourned. Commiittee Favors Humphreys Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The House Committee on Ways and Means to-day decided to make a favorable report upon the Humphreys bill, requiring collectors of internal revenue to furnish to orosecuting attorneys lists of per- sons holding Federal liquor tax stamps in prohibition districts. The committee refused to make a favorable recommen- dation on bills preventing the issuance of such stamps to persons in prohibition districts. \ % g X To Become Ports of Entry.

BREACH WIDENS PACKERS RELY ON RATE BILL ON CARFIELD Two Factions of the Senate?Several Witnesses Testify Committee Are Unable to| Relative to Promise Made Agree Upon the Measure to Them by Commissioner DOUBLE REPORT LIKELY Aldrich Element Holds Out for Amendment Providing for Review by the Courts ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—In the Sen- ate Committee on Interstate Commerce the line between the faction which ad- vocates the passage of the House bill and the faction contending for the court review feature has been drawn so taut that-all thought of compromise has been abdndoned. All conferences to-day were between Senators thor- oughly harmonized for one pesition or. the other and were for the purpose of lining up for a passage at arms. Nearly a hundred amendments to the House bill are pending before the com- mittee and nearly a score of these bear on the judicial review of orders made by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. If many of these amendments are contended for with stubbornness, 3 vote on the bill itself may be delayed for several days, despite the agreement in committee that a vote shall be taken on Friday. It is not improbable that both factions may be willing to trans- fer the contest to the floor of the Sen- ate and that no rollcall will be taken in the committee. If outward appearances may mean anything, the Hepburn bill cannot be reported by the committee with a ma- jority. This is not conceded by Sena- tors Dolliver and Clapp, although they admitted to-night that they have not a majority of the committee votes for the House bill in its present form. They asserted, however, that they will not accept an amendment of any character specifically providing for judicial re- view of the orders of the commission and that they will bring out a minority report if a majority of the committes cannot be secured. On the other hand, Senators Aldrich, Foraker, Elkins, Keane and Crane, the leaders of the faction demanding les radical legislation, insist that they have enough votes in the committee to amend the bill. They say, neverthe- less, that they do not purpose to sub- | stitute a measure for the House bill, nor to adopt an amendment which would delay an order from the commis- sion from becoming effective. Under the Hepburn bill it is provided that an order of the commission shall | go into effect within thirty days. While it is not contemplated that a law shall be passed which shall take away the right of common carriers to apply for an injunction on the ground that the rate fixed is conflscatory, it is contend- ed that the thirty-day provision will have the effect of forcing injunctions, as this limited time will not permit of a review that would determine whether the order is confiscatory. These Senators are contending for an amendment that would correct what they term an injustice, but insist that they are not holding out for any par- ticular phraseology. Having ascertained that an amend- ment of that purpose, no matter how worded, will not be accepted by sup- porters of the Hepburn bill, it was agreed to-day that conferences between the two factions are a waste of time. Friends of the House bill say they | are ready for a vote on the bill itself, but it cannot be said how great is thelr strength. The abandonment of attempts to compromise will hasten an agreement on a court review feature. Senator Elkins to-day proposed such an amend- ment in the committee and it was dk cussed for some time and passed over to join a dozen or more others on the same subject. It is very similar to the court review feature of the rate bill which he introduced yesterday. MAY SUE TO RECOVER THE CAMPAIGN MONEY Proceedings Urged on New York Life by Special Committee. NEW YORK, Feb. l4—Recommenda- tions that legal proceedings be instituted to recover contributions made by the New York Life Insurance Company were sub- mitted to the trustees of that company to-day by the special investigating com- mittee, headed by Thomas P. Fowler. It is recommended that the money be recov- ered from such officlals and trustees as counsel shall decide are liable therefor. The report states that there is no record upon the books of the company to show that campalgn contributions were given, but that information was obtained from the testimony of President McCall and Vice President George W. Perkins upon the stand before the Armstrong commit- tee. This recommendation is then made: “Your committee therfore recommends that special counsel be retained forthwith to institute such legal proceedings as may be neccessary to recover the sums so contributed from such officers and trustees of the company as in the judg- ment of counsel are liable therefor.” The campaign contributions referred to ‘were made for Republican campaign pur- poses and a gated $148,702, divided as follows: $50, in 1896, $50,000 in 1900 and $43702 in 1904. No other campaign con- tributions, the committee declares, have been disclosed by the investigations. “Whether any of the sums charged to the policy fee account on the books of the Paris office were used for such purpose,” the report continues, ‘“‘cannot be known until it is ascertained, through legal pro- ceedings or otherwise, what disposition was made of them. “These contributions were directed by President McCall in the bellef that they were necessary in the interest and for the protection of the policy-holders, and not for any personal benefit or advantage. “The committee is advised that the funds of the company could not be legally used for the p to which these funds ‘were applied, or for any political purpose at any time or under any circumstances.” A PRy WILL GO AFTER HAMILTON. Fowler Will Ask Accounting for Ome NEW YORK, Feb. Fowler, chairman of the New York Life Insurance Company's house cleaning March 1. While Fowler's trip is osten- sibly for pleasure, it is said that he will see Andrew Hamilton, who. by last accounts was in the Rivera, and demand of him, on pain of extradition, an immediate accounting or restitution of the $1,000,000 detailed in the Fowler report. Fowler, it is said. has been in close communication with Attorney-General Mayer and District Attorney Jerome in the last few days. ———— W, representative here to study tobacco growing. and ‘Wilson has promised to assist him poseible way. 14.—Thomas P.| committee, will depart for Europe on | 1 THEIR STORIES AGREE Assert That They Gave In- formation on Condition That Is Was Kept Secret CHICAGO, Feb. 14—Representatives of Swift & Co. of this city and of the Cudahy Packing Company of Omaha were on the stand in the packers’ case to-day. When court adjourned for the day the testimony for each had been finished, save for a possibllity that Ed- ward Cudahy of Omaha may be re- called for a few questions in the morn- Ing. The testimony of all the witnesses related to the manner in which the Government applied for information regarding the packing Industry and of how it was furnished to them. It did not differ in any way from what has been said by previous witnesses In the case. The witnesses said that Commis- sioner Garfleld had declared that all the evidence secured by him would be held confidential. It is expected that to-morrow evi- dence regarding the investigation into the plants of Armour & Co. will be taken.
