A Truly Representative Congress IL What
Democrats DO Not Want

WASHINGTON CRY. May 3.-Representa-
tive McComas of Maryland today reported
to the House from the committee his bill
to prevent gerrymandering. The report Is
long. and includes an elaborate review and
discussion OF the constitutional question in
VOWED. Ii says IN part, speaking of gerry
Wandering: "Ai the last election for con-
gressmen in Indiana. for instance, major
ity vote for congressman elected three rep
resentatiyes. but a minority vote elected
ten representatives. Such gerry Wandering
is a crime against the general governments
and the people of the whole nation. This
bill will al least compel representation of
the majority in the white states, while it
viii check reckless gerrymsndering in the
states of the black belt and make it easier
for the representatives elected therein to
obtain eertiication OF election. IL viii re-
spect equally state rights and the rights OF
the United States Itpermits the states to
continue TO make regulations for the cleo
ton OF congressman, but warns the states,
that the national constitution has been
adopted establishing real aud not shaa-
owy government; that the sovereignty OF
the people Is reposed in the executive and
congress; and that congress will exercise
lions OF the time. place and manner Of
hoIilng elections for representatives In con.
gress. 10 secure districts more compact as
to territory and more stable in duration,
and 10 secure greater equality OF popula-
ton behind representatives in congress
These things the states have failed TO do.
Tucker OF Virginia submitted the report
of the minority. After . bister-criticism Of
the bali II SAYS. in part: The spirit of re-
form would take from the states the privi
lege Of arranging their own congressional
districts as they might think best for their
own people aud assign that right to con-
eress, against reason. precedent and the
constitution itself IL would uproos Laws
without cause. and snpplant them with
unconstitutional saactments. The acts OF
a partisan congress in this spirit OF reform
is.uss be arrested, or consolidation, des-
pesase and hopeless, viii be our destiny.

Company for the construction of an irri-
eating canal through the Yakima Indian
reservation. The canal is to start
on the boundary OF the reservation
at section SO, township Is and range

the terms OF the bill they are to be erected

coming from Newport to New York, max
ing the distance in 6 hours 81 minutes. thus
beating the time of the steam yacht Now
Them" made three years ago. by seven
minutes. Moreover. she did this in the
face OF head wind and a choppy sea, and
i'm spite of the fact that the crew were
nearly all green men. Her commander.
Lieutenant Winslow, is enthusiastic. and
saws that from observation he believes she
can keep up speed of 22Is knots all day.
She goes from here TO Washington, where
she will be officially inspected by officials of
the navy department and congressional
committees. Another remarkable thing
about her run is that only hard coal was
used in her furnace. Said Lieutenant
winslow: al have seen the vessel make
a4s1 knots, which is equal TO % miles, and
then she was going under steam pressure
OF only a4s pounds. seven pounds less than
she was designed TO carry. Her boiler has
been tested at the rate OF Sc pounds TO the
square inch. She ought to make the dig
tance between New York and Newport at
the rate of 81 knots per hour with hard
coal, and 22is knots with soft coal. We ex-
pect great things OF her when her crew gets
all trained.
A thoroughly successful test has been
made of the sims-Edison torpedo boat,
which is operated and controlled from
shore by electricity. The boat carries no
crew, being controlled entirely by electrical
apparatus on shore. II has a capacity for
carrying go pounds of dynamite, which
can be deposited at any desired point and
exploded as the electrician may direct.
The test was made with fifty pounds OF
dynamite The boat was propelled at a
speed OF nineteen knots to a point several
miles from shore, where the dynamite was
deposited and exploded.
