Consular Bill Passed by Senate, \Vliich
Then \Vent Into Executive Session.
Fortifications and Appropri-
ations In the House.
WASHINGTON Feb. 12 .—In the absence
‘ of the vice president Mr. Frye, president
pro tem., occupied the chair in the senate
today. There was some amusement over
a report by Mr. Vest for a bridge over the
Columbia river in Washington. The iden—
tical bill had passed and become a law,
ard yet the house passed it again. As the
11 111se wanted another law’on the same
I 1. bject the senator said he made a favor—
1. '1 le report on the second bill.
i‘he senate bill to pr ovidc times and
places for the trial in Okl ahoma Territory .
of cases under the federal laws was passed.
The house resolution appointing Gene1 al
Joseph N. Marshall Brown of Maine as a '
member of the board of managers of the ',
\ational Homes For Disabled Soldiers to ?
succeed the late General Beale was agreed
to.
The Allen Pacific railroad resolution
went over until-Monday next on request of
Mr. Thurston.
The senate bill providing for the retire-
ment of enlisted men of the army and
navy after 30 years’ continuous sefi-ice at
three- quarters pay was passed.
The diplomatic and consular appropria-
tion bill was then taken up. Mr. Morgan
questioned the items of $10, 000 for a min-
ister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica. and Salva-
dor and $10,000 for a minister to Guate-
mala and Honduras. It was understood,
he said, that amnion had been formed by
, three of those countries, and that our min-
isters to Nicaragua, Honduras and Salva-
dor had lost their respective functions, as
their foreign Offices had been closed. The
union under the name of the Greater Re-
public of Central America had sent a min-
ister ,here who, it was understood, had been
received and recognized by the president.
This was an awkward situation, he added.
Morgan at Cleveland Again.
“It all arises,” declared Mr. Morgan,
“from the fact that-the president does not
think it orth his while to inform con
grass as o the status of our foreign rela-
tions. He seems to think that he can do it
— all himself, and that it is unnecessary to
inform congress.” The senator thought it
was time to end the differences between
the executive and congress relating to
grave public questions. Here the senate
was about to act in the dark, appropriating
for ministers to countries which no longer
had foreign offices.
Mr. Hale, in charge of the bill, said the
question would have, to be settled later.
Our ministers were in actual service in
those countries and would have to'be paid.
If the union discontinued these places, the
department would have to diswntinue
the salaries at a suitable time. Mr. Mor-
gan did not press the objection, saying his
only purpose was to have the public un-
dersta’td‘ the peculiar conditions
The consular and diplomatic appropria-
tion bill was passed, the committee amend-
ments being agreed to as re: .orted. Mr.
Lodge (Rep. , Mass. ), in charge of the con-
ference report on the immigration bill,
asked that the final vote be taken on Mon-
day, but yielded to appeals for more time.
At] :35 p. m. the senate went into execu-
tive session on the arbitration treaty.
In the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb.;,-‘11.—-Without pre-
liminary business the ,‘house today went-
into committee of the vghole and began
consideration of the fortifications appro-
priation bill. _
Mr. Hainer (Rep. . Neb. ), who had
charge of the bill, explained its provisions.
The bill carried $9, 178, 325, based 011 1'6-
commendations aggregating $18, 390, 256.
Of the items in the b3], $4,195,076 was to
meet contract Obligations. authorized by
the current law. Mr. Heiner called atten-
tion to the comprehensive scheme for forti-
fications entered upon last year, the appro
priations previous to that time for nine
years having averaged but $318,568. If it
were not for the urgent necessity for econ-
omy in expenditures, he said, the commit.
tee would have felt fully justified in bring-
ing in a bill carrying the full amount 01
the recommendations. The committee
rose temporarily to allow Mr. Cannon,
chairman of the approp1 iations committee,
. to report the sundry appropriation bill.
Mr. Bartlett (Dem. Ga. ), on behalf of
elections committee No. 1’, submitted the
report in the contested, election case 01
Watson vs. Black from the Tenth Georgia
district. The report was unanimous and
in favor of the sitting member. Mr. Bart-
lett stated he would call up the case a.
such time as was convenient to the- con-
testant.
The fortification bill was again taken
up. Mr. Fisher (Rep , N. Y.) offered an
amendment to appropriate $1, 000 for an
investigation of the feasibility of con—
structing fortifications and seacoast de
fenses on Romer shoals at the entrance of
New York harbor.
The amendment was ruled out on a
point of order. An amendment was adopt-
ed on motion of Mr. Bartlett (Dem.. N.
Y.) appropriating $7 5,000 for the construc-
tion of riprap walls on the easternshore.
of the Unlted Stateslands at Sandy Hook.
Without further amendment the bill was
passed.
The committees were then called.

The Congressional Library Employees
Held In $3,000 Bail. "
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. —-Phiiip IvIcEi-
hone, son of the late J. .T. McElhone, for
years ofi‘icial reporter of the house of rep-
resentatives, and Louis M. Turner, both
employees of the Congressional library,
who were arrested yesterday by secret serv-
ice oflicers, charged with larceny of auto-
graph letters from the library, were held
today by the United States commissioner
in $3, 000 bail pending examination. They
assert their innocence. The arrests were
the result of a letter of inquiry from a
New York autograph dealer, wt stated
. that he had bought certain historical auto-
graph letters and was offered more, but
had become suspicious lest they might
have been abstracted from the govelnment
files. An investigation by Librarian Spof-
ford disclosed that many letters were miss-
ing from the library, among them the
, diary of George Washington for 1787, the
year of the constitutional convention, and
letters of John Hancock, Benedict Ar-
nold and George Washington. When ex-
amined by the treasury department secret
service officers, the young men admitted
having sold the papers, but disclaimed
having stolen them. Turner declared that
l he had found them outside the capitol
; building, and McElhone said that Turner
had represented to him that the letters had
been the property of his mother in- -law,
Mrs. Miller, now dead. He said that some:
thing less than 100 letters had been sold to
New York dealers for about $300. Both
are young men of hitherto good reputation.

.THE STEEL POOL COLLAPSE.
The .Reported Alliance Between Mes-u.
{ Carnegie and Rockefeller.
CHICAGO, Feb. I..‘?.-"‘he Tribune say!
today of the report of an. alliance between
Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller
to control the steel rail output: “ The Iron
Ore association, which has controlled prices
and fixed the output of Lake Superior
iron mines, stands directly in the track of
the cyclone which has swept away every
combination and pool in the steel trade for
the division of business and the mainte-
nance of prices.
“What the Reckefeller-Carnegie combi-
nation will do in the ore pool will become
manifest within a fortnight. The first an-
nouncement, it is said, .will be in the shape
of large sales of ore for delivery during
the coming season of navigation without
regard to the pool. Even more important
than the collapse of th teel rail pool will
be the termination of e ore pool. It will
mean a terrifioa'Var on prices by all the
iron mining companies of northern Mich-
igan and Minnesota. Among some there
is serious question if the iron ore pool has
not already gone. In previous winters the
production of every important mine in the
Lake SuperiOI region had been allotted
and prices fixed long before this time in
February. As yet no allotment has been
made and no prices fixed for the coming
season. Meetings have been held at Cleve-
land, but they have been fruitless in reach-
ing an agreement.
ment is general that the ore pool cannot
be saved and that the same influences
which have wrecked every iron and steel
combination in existence at the beginning
of the year will prevent the iron mining
companies from reaching an agreement.
In the war the two great companies will
be the. Minnesota Iron company, with
headquarters in this city, and the Lake
Superior Consolidated Mines, controlled
by John D. Rockefeller. Both operate in
the Mesaba range, above Duluth, in Min-
nesota. although the Minnesota company
have heavy interests in the Vermilion
range also. ’lheir railroads reach in the
same region, and some of their properties
adjoin each other. Farther to the west-
ward is the Mahoning mine, owned by
Pennsylvania iron manufacturers. While
every range in the Lake Superior range
will be vitally .ffected by the outbieak of
hostilities. the battleground will be the
Mesaba range. where the leaders meet. ”
