Senute Wrestling With the Question
of Government’s Lien.
DEBT -BXOEEDS $53,000,000.
Senator Thurston Explains the Present
Condition—An Interesting Election
Contest from Virginia Dil-
cusse’d In‘the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—-Although defeat-
ed for re-election, Senator Dubois (Ida.)
was welcomed back to the senate today
with marked cordiality and with an abun-
dance of floral tributes. His desk was liter-
ally overwhelmed with flowers, while ta-
bles, chairs and adjoining desks were
brought into use to support the many
unique devices into which the roses and
violets had been wrought. A great cluster
of violets was tied with a ribbon bearing
in solid silver “1000.” The main design,
rising eight feet from the floor, was an
arch, the pillars being white roses and the
capstone of immortelles, bearing the word
“honor.”
The bill was passed authorizing Major
General Alexander M. McCook, retired,
, and Captain G. P. Schriven to, accept
medals from the czar of Russia.
The two Allen resolutions questioning
the powers of the executive to foreclose the
government liens aguinst the Pacific roads
were taken up, and Mr. Thurston (Rep.,
Neb.) spoke on the general status of the
Pacific railroad debts.
He urged that the uniform opinion of
the courts had been that the government
lien was limited strictly to the precise
lines on which guarantee bonds had been
issued and that the Thurman act did not
extend this lien beyond the original lines
of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
roads. "’
Outside the Lien.
This, he held, took the Omaha bridge
approaches, terminals, etc, outside of the
original government lien. The situation
as to the Union Pacific was that all ter-
minals, all side tracks, etc., wore covered
by a first mortgage, to which the govern-
ment lien is subject. The lieu of the gov-
ernment was on that main line beginning
at the Missouri river, about three or four
miles north of the present Omaha bridge,
and running westward to Ogden, Utah.
If, then. the United States acquired the
rights of the first mortgagees and was sub-
rogated to those rights, its lien would be
extended to all terminals, etc.
gation to the government reached $53,000.-
000, and it was proposed by the present
negotiations to pay an upset price of be-
tween s45,000, 000 and 346, 000,000.
Mr. Smith (Dem., N. J.) interrupted to
say that the $63,000,000 did not represent
the actual obligation to the government,
which he claimed, with the proper allow-
ance of interest paid on bonds, made $88,-
000,000, which the Union Pacific owed the
government and for which this syndicate.
proposed to pay $45,000,000.
Mr. Thurston said he had taken the
$53,000,000 frain government estimates.
There were. he said, only two propositions
from which to make a choice. One was to
realize a. large per cent of the govern-
ment’s claim, the other to invest more of
the people‘s money in fully acquiring a
road presumably for the purpose of gov-
ernment ownership and operation.
At 2 o’clock the senate resumed consid-
eration of the Nicaragua canal bill, the de-
bate on the Pacific railroad resolutions go-
ing over until tomorrow. ,
In the House.
The attendance in the,housc today was
light. While a resolution to print the con—
sular regulations for distribution by mem-
bers of congress was under consideration
Mr. Cannon facetiouslv remarked that
this document was in great demand just at
this time.
“Is this document all the recipients ex-
pect?” asked Mr. Terry (Dem., Ark. ).
“It is probably all most of them will
get,” responded Mr. Cannon dryly.
Mr. McCall (Rep., Mass.) then called up
the Cornett-Swanson contested election
case from the Fifth Virginia district. The
majority of the committee, including three
Republicans and three Democrats, reported
in favor of Mr. Swanson, the Democratic
contestee, while three members of the com—
mittee, Mr. Thomas (Rep., Mich), Mr.
Walker (Rep., Va.) and Mr. Overstreet
(Rep., Ind.) joined in a minority report
in favor of declaring the seat vacant. On
the face of the returns Swanson had 2.333
plurality. The case rested. largely on the
validity and just-ice of the then existing
Walton election law in Virginia, and in-
volved much the same questions that were
involved in tho Yost-Tucker case, which
the house, by a. narrow vote, decided re—
cently in favor of the sitting member.
The majority contended that if the con-
testant was given the benefit of every
claim that could be made from the testi-
mony in the case, as well as every doubt
that could arise therefrompand if every
claim was conceded to him, he would still
lack 1,000 votes of enough to overcome
‘ Mr. Swanson’s plurality.
The minority argued that the Walton
law prevented a free and secret ballot, and
while not claiming that the contestant
had been given his seat improperly, insist-
ed that justice demanded it should be de-
clared vacant, '
Mr. Turner (Dem., Va.) opened the de-
bate in favor of Sustaining the majority
report. He declared that if Mr. Swanson
was to be deprived of his seat because the
Walton law was condemned, the house
The obli- '
could with equal justice declare vacant the ‘
other seats from Virginia.

International Monetary Conference.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The senate bill
for an international monetary conference,
which is being pushed by Republican sen-
ators, will be considered tomorrow by the
house committee on Coinagc, to Which it
was referred, and members of the commit-
tee expect that it will be reported to the
house without much opposition. There
Was some contention on the part of dif-
ferent committees for jurisdiction over the
.matter. The foreign affairs committee
claimed’ the right, as it had charge of the
question when it was last agitated in con-
gress, and members of that committee
served on the Brussels conference.
The coinage committee has a large silver
contingent, including one Republican (Mc-
Clure, O.) and one independent (Hart-
man, Mon), but they are not likely to 0p
pose the plan. Representative 0. W. Stone
(Pa. ), the chairman of the committee, talk-
edwith Speaker Reed about the bill today.
He is confident that the committee on rules
will give a. day for debate soon if the bill
is reported.
Those Sugar Bounties.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-—Reprcscntatives
ot the sugar growing interests are making
an efi'ort to'secure from congress an appro-
priation of $1,048,000 to settle the balance
v
. ‘ r .
/' .
of the bounties which they claim are due
them under the act passed in the last ses-
sion of the Fifty-third congress. This act
gave the sugar growers something over
$5,000,000 for the liounties which were
guaranteed them by the McKinley law,
but were cut ofl by the Wilson tariff act.
The sugar men now claim that the appro:
priation of $5,000,000 only covered about
83 per cent of the amount due them at the
rate of eight-tenths of a cent a pound
bounty. ‘ - '
The Navy Personnel Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Ther_e will be no
attempt to pass-the navy personnel bill
during this congress. This decision was
made by the house naval committee today.
It was suggested by Representative Cum-
mings of New York th 13 the lateness of
the session made it out or the question for
the committee to expect to do anything
with the bill, and the other members
agreed with that view, although Messrs.
Hulick, Hall and Meyer and others who
have spent much time on the bill were re
luctant to abandon it.
A Victory For Ben Tillman.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The senate com-
mittee on interstate commerce today
agreed to report Senator Tillman’s bill
giving states the same control over liquor
imported from other states that they have
over liquors manufactured within their
own borders. Some amendments are rec-
ommended. One of these makes the bill
apply to other than original packages as
well as original packages.
For Another Cabinet Oflicer.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.——A bill providing
r'for the creation of a cabinet position to be
filled by a. secretary of labor was discussed
today by the house committee on labor.
The committee considered a. suggestion
that the department should include com-
merce, labor and manufactures, but no ac-
tion was taken.
Postmasters Nominated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—-Thc president
today sent to the senate the following
nominations: .
Pcstmasters—John G. Cobler, Everett,

Suspension of :1. Pennsylvania Trust. and
Safe Deposit Company.
WEST CHESTER, Pan, Feb. 4.—The Ches—
ter County Guarantee Trust and Safe )c-
posit company of this place, claiming as—
sets aggregating $1,000,000, and with de-
posaits of $500,000, suspended business.
The directors claim that the company is
solvent and will pay all indebtedness if
given time. There has been a run on the
company for two weeks, and $76,000 was
paid out. The run is said to have resulted
from failure to protect the stock at a re—
cent sale, when it was offered without a
bid being received: The amount of the
liabilities is not known.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, 1a., Feb. 3. —Judge
Thornell of the district court appointed
James 13. Patterson receiver of the local
affairs of the Keystone Manufacturing
company of Sterling, Ills. Mr. Patterson
gave a bond for $45,000. Patterson’s broth-
er was named as receiver for the local plant
at Kansas City. These receiverships are in
line with action taken by the Illinois court
at Sterling, Ills.
Collateral Inheritance Taxes.
ALBANY, Feb. 4.——A very important
measure, framed by the comptroller of
New York and State Senator Coggeshall,
was introduced in the senate today. It is
intended to make the collateral inheritance
tax law immediately applicable to large
estates like the Fayerweather and the
Grouse estates, that are kept in litigation
for years and are largely diminished when
the tax is imposed. The bill provides for
the immediate taxation of vested estates.
Criminal Claimed Royal Birth.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.—-There died at
the Receiving hospital in this city yester-
day a man who claims to have been of
royal birth. He gives the name of Eugene
de Beauharnais, and claims to ban de-
scendant of Empress Josephine. He also
claims to have been an officer in the Con-
federate navy. He was arrested at San
Diego- on a charge of trying to obtain
money under false pretenses.
Alleged Forgers Captured.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Chicf Hazen of
the secret service has received a telegram
announcing the arrest of John de Pree, en-
graver, and Peter Wetzel, at Grand Rapids.
Simpson Craig at Jackson, Mich, and
Hauck at Belding, for making and pass-
ing counterfeit $20 treasury notes. These
are supposed to be the last of the gang of
ten counterfeiters who operated with the
Packard-Kingston brothers.
Dr. Whitehead Heard From.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 4.—Timothy J.
Murphy, an uncle of Dr. Whitehead, the
Irish political prisoner who was released
with his colleague, Gallagher, from Mill-
bank prison, in England, in an insane con-
dition, and who escaped from Amityville
(N. Y.) asylum, a. few days ago, states that

to visit Lawrence.

tendent of insurance of New York state by

those of us who have been so comforts-v-

here, may find up there the repetition
We have had
our good things.” _
“Surely you may enjoy your own,”
protested her friend.
“I don’t know," was the surprising
answer. “You remember a. beautiful
story published some time ago, in which
the priest, when told of some crime,
says: ‘May God forgive you and me,
brother, for that man‘s sins.’ It is the
responsibility of the rich. 7 I never hear
of a young man committing forgery or
stealing from his employer that I do not
ask myself how far are rich people re-
sponsible for it. We live in too much
luxury. We spend too much. The
poor fellow wants to be in society. He
is invited out. He thinks he must
dress as fine as the people he goes
among, and he begins by taking a. little
money from the cash drawer. It al-
ways ends the same way—in dishonor
and death. or Worse.
“And girls! It isn’t inherent vicious-
ness; it‘s love of dress that makes nine
girls out of ten, who go wrong, sin.
They want to wear lovely things like
they see rich women wearing. They
want silks and velvets and diamonds.
and they sell their souls for them. We
build houses for reformation, and have
prison societies to help criminals; it has
Often occurred to me that it would be
much more to the point it rich people
would set an example of- more moderate
living. A sin prevented is better far
than one reformed.
“Why, look at the accounts of our
parties and weddings in the papers:
Mrs. Blank’s house was decorated with
$10,000 worth of American beauty roses.
Miss Croesus was married in white sat-
in, with a train four yards long, and
carried a prayerbook with her mono-
gram set in diamonds. Mr. Jones gave
a. theatre {party that cost $500. It all
seems simple enough and inane enough
reading, until you hear that some poor
woman has run her husband in debt to
pay for decorations, or that a shop girl
who had not a. decent street dress in her
trousseau has bought a. useless white
silk to be married in because Miss
Croesus was, or that some young fellow
has robbed his employer to give a the-
atre party. Then it seems wicked, and
for my part. when I hear of such things
I always feel like saying, with the little
priest, God forgive me for that person’s
sm."
THEY ARE WEARY OF ENGLAND.
Egypt and India are Both Anxious to
Throw 011' the Yoke.
' It is only a question of time—when the
ideal outcome of England’s. notion of
free trade will have reached India,
when, namely. almost all manufactured
articles will be imported from Great
Britain, and the whole labor of the
enormous population from the Himalay-
as to Ceylon will be applied to the pro-
duction of food staples and raw materi-
als, says the North American Review.
This =,is not England’s view of what
constitutes civilization at home, but is
the kind of civilization which she would
like to promote in her dependencies.
Unquestionably there is peace and there
is order under British rule in India, but
the British rulers are disliked, and the
mass of the people would prefer to
work out the problems of social exist-
ence in their own way. They have the
same right to such a. preference that all
other people have. ' ‘
This may be said of the Egyptians
also. I: is true that the land tax is
much 10 vac-r in/Egyptto day than it was
before the British occupation: that the
interest on the public debt is promptly
paid, and that the national securities in
the hands of foreign bondholders are
worth several times what was paid for
them. Nevertheless, all intelligent,»
Egyptians, while recognizing the value"
of the temporary service rendered by
Great Britain, are of the opinion that
the occupation should now end, and
that opinion is now shared by almost
every civilized country except England.
