Action Deferred on Two In
portant Measures.
Why The New Anti Chinese and Contract.
Labor Bills Hang Flre-They VIII
Soon Be Reported.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON. Dec 29.-Two weeks ago
Chairman Owen Of the House Committee
on immigration was authorized by ma
iority of the members of his committee to
report comprehensive bill to the House
amendatory of the present contract labor
and immigration laws. The bill was thought
to be a conservative measure, but it is
now being hung up because of the objec-
tions raised by Lehlbach of New Jersey,
who. at the time, was absent on the Pacific
Slope engaged in an investigation of the
metbods'by which Cinnamon are smugged
into the United States.
Lehlbach agrees in his views with those
Geiman-American secret societies which
are inclined to oppose any measure which
has for its object the erection of barriers to
the complete freedom of immigration to the
United States.
Lehlbach, as soon as he heard OF the ac-
tion of the committee, protested against
anything being done in his absence.
1t was in consequence of this protest that
Owen held up his report, which will not be
made to the House until Lehlla ach returns

THE CLoTORE RULE.
Aldrich Defeats an Attempt of the Democrats
to Delay Its Consideration.

10 Uelay It's consideration.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 29,-Indications are
not wanting to evidence thu purpose of the
majority Of the Republican Senators to ter
inmate the debate on the Elections Bill,
which has occupied the time of the Senate
since it assembled nearly month ago. Mr..
Aldrich made move this afternoon one
step in the direction of the execution of the
wishes of his Republican colleagues, and
the comment made by Senator Cockrell upon
Aldrich's proceedings shows the Demo-
cratic Senators are fully aware Of the pur-
pose of the enemy, and have at last reluc-
tantly arrived at the conclusion that there
will be a determined effort made to adopt a
clOture rule and to press the Elections Bill
to a speedy determination. Aldrich to-day
refused to allow the cloture resolution to be
referred to the Committee on Rules, or ut
least tC secure the same result by asking
that il lie over under the rule. His purpose
WAS to prevent the consideration and deten-
tion of the new rule In the committee. So
far, owing to the absence of Senator ingalls,,
the Committee on Rules is now evenly
divided as 10 politics.. and it might be possi-
BILE for the Democratic members OF the
committee to delay ths rule indefinitely be-
fore report could be ordered upon it. The
Republican Senators want to have the rule
in such a position that it can be reached at
short notice and this has been met by
Aldrich's conduct OF the matter to-day
The purpose is to let the resolution 60 on
the calendar, from which it can be taken up
at any time by an affirmative vote Of the
majority of the Senate.

THE IDAHO SENATOR'S.
The Manner Of Their Election Claimed to Be-
PERFECTLY Regular

ferIectly Regular.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-"Is il true, as
appeared in the papers, that Shoup and Nc
Connell drew for the terms on their election
to the Senate and that Shoup got the short
term, ending March 4, 1912" Dubois was
asked by the California Associated Press
correspondent
" / don't know how that story originated" !"
said Dubois. There is no truth in it. 1
was elected for the full term of six years,
beginning March A. 1891, as it was known
beforehand that the Senatorial life of one of
my colleagues must end on that date. Which
one it will be must be settled by lot in the
regular way when they take their oaths as
Senators. There was no attempt to decide
that question in the Idaho Legislature"
Is there any Instance in tho history of
the country where three United States Sem
ators were elected at the same time 2"
=" think not. But because it is unprece-
dented it does not follow that there is any,
thing wrong about it. We got the opinion
of Senator Hosr and other prominent men
as to tho validity Of the step before it was
consummated. All who were consulted
were unit in advising us that there was no
imprOpriety in such action"
Senator Dubois is only SO years old, and
is, consequently, one of the Juniors in the
august body to which he will soon be trans
ferred. He is slight Of build, with dark
complexion, and looks somewhat on the
order of professor. He is probably the
most popular man in Idaho.

vice Employees Denied
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The Civil Service
Commission has addressed lengthy lettsr
to the President regarding the annual report
Of Postmaster General Wanamaker, in
which the latter said the civil service ex-
animation, particularly as regards Post
office employees, ought to be improved. The
Commissioners say they have many times
asked high officials of the Postoffice Depart
ment for suggestions. bu; this annual report
is the first intimation they have received
that the department had anything To sug-
gest. The statement that from one-fourth
to one-third Of the pen furnished by the
commission through the railway mail SER
vice examination have not proved satis-
factory, isdenied by the commission in the
letter, which shows that more than nine
tenths OF these men are still kept in the
service, and the Commissioners express sur
prise that their work is not satisfactory.
Thus. the Commissioners say. the figures If
Wanamakers own report contradict his
assertions. The figures also show that of
the Postoffics Inspectors furnished from the
commissions list, more than 80 per cent
have been retained. There is NO class of
employees. the Commissioners say, which it is
more desirable to keep from political patron
age than PoSt0ffice Inspectors.

other side answered? Some of them seemed
to think their best answer was in railing

laid claim, 1t brought him into company
into which he would otherwise have been

Confederate Battery.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-General Sherman
was obliged to retreat to-day before the hot
fire OF Confederate battery. During the
debate concerning the admission of the
Idaho Senators, the sturdy old General en-
tered the Senate chamber while Senator
Cockrell Of Missouri was engaged in an ar
gument with Senators Spooner and Sanders,
and he was straigbtway surrounded by
numerous Senators. Very naturally. there
WAS some conversation, and then Mr.. Cock
rell loudly expressed his willingness to Weld
the floor to the group that clustered around
the old warrior, and the Missourian's re-
marks caused the conversationalists to make
hasty retreat to the Republican cloak
room. Time makes ali things even. Twenty
five years ago it was Mr.. Cockrell who was
unavoidably doing the retreating and GEN
eral Sherman was the cause. To-day the
rebel Brigadier was in the saddle, as it
were, ana the Union forces moved back

WEDNESDAY,
TO-DAY's ELECTION.

Every man who is enjoying the
benefits of a civilized government
in this country, owes it to himself,
his neighbors and the country to
take at least a sufficiently active
interest In the government OF the
country to cast vote at to-days
election.
The person elected to-day holds
office for six years, and no man
who expects to remain in the
country for six, or for four, or for
tive years, can afford, nor has he
the right to abstain from taking
his share of the responsibility and
doing his share in the work of car
rying on the government in q de-
cent, honorable manner.
Mr.. Young is willing to perform
the more onerous duties of mem
Der of the Legislature. The very
least that his fellow citizens can do
as an evidence of their appreciation
of his public spiritedness is to take
the slight trouble to go to the polls
and deposit their votes for HIM.
Do not wait until after lunch to
vote, but go and do it before you
go to work. If you delay you
may forget it.
A personal reason why you
should vote for Mr.. Young is that
he is needed on the floor of the
House. The thinking members o.
the House are many, but the mem
bers who are fitted by tempera
ment and experience to act al
leaders of thought and action art
but few-so few that the election
or failure of election of Mr.. Young
will probably have a much more
serious effect upon the results O
legislation during this session thar
the mere single vote involved.
Mr.. Young has in two sessions
of the Legislature shown himself .
ready debater, man of origina
thought and an active working
member both in committee anC
on the floor of the House; such :
member as is OF value to thu
orderly conduct of business and t.
the country, no matter what hi
party affiliations may be.
Without discussing Mr.. Berger
other qualifications for the office
it should be sufficient to decide any
doubtful voter, that there is no rea
son to believe that he would be il
any sense working member" OF
that he would take any part in O.
have any influence over the actor
of the House other than by nj
vote. Mr.. Berger has been success
full as an insurance agent and
vender of safes. We feel safe il
assuring him that the community
cannot spare him from that posi-
ton.

The Mokolii Returns to Port.

The steamer Mokolii, which left
here Monday afternoon, returned to
port few minutes after 6 o'clock
last evening with the intelligence
that Lucy, daughter of MIR. and Mrs.
Fred Hsyselden, was very sick on
Lanai. The steamer came for doc
tor, as the Government physician for
that island had gone to the Coast for
a vacation. The little girl had been
delirious since Saturday evening,
and the symptoms were much like
those of typhoid fever. The Mokolii
left for Lanai again at 7:3O o'clock
last evening, having on board DR..
Furry, whom it is to be hoped would
arrive in time to aid the sufferer.
