PACIFIC MAIL INVESTIGATION
How tho Transc ontinental Association
subsized the steamer Line.

WAsHISGroN CITY, Feb. 81. Is. Hous-
ton. vice president Of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, testified before the
Panama-Pacitic Mail investigation COM
mittee today. He said that when the con-
tract between the Pacific Mail and Panama
railroad expired, the officers of the Pacific
Mail went TO the Panama railroad officers
10 make new contract, which was frus-
trated by the threat of the Transconti-
mental Association to cut off the subsidy
paid the Pacific Mail. The United States
company could not guarantee the $40. 900
monthly To the Panama railroad, which
declined to negotiate further and stopped
tne through bills of Iading of the Pacific
Mail.
The reason assigned by the Panama
company tor the action was that the
steamship company would not guarantee
1t The old amount Of money per month.
The Panama company wanted a guarantee
OF siOOUo a month and restriction
as 10 the amount of freight to be
carried. which would prevent COM
petition with transcontinentai rail-
roads. Another time they insisted
on the right to make rates. The Pacific
Mali offered to go in and take all the
freight it could carry az the minimum rate
to be established between the two COM
panies.

WAsHrxaroN CRY. Feb. q Especial. +
When this cogress completes its work next
Saturday noon, the Washington state del
egation will have lite cause to regret the
failure of any bills of local inn
portance to their constituents. Nearly
all the bills of interest to the
Washington delegation are passed
and have become laws. There will be
found but few measures that will be Of
any especial benefit to Washington state
that will have to 60 over until the next
session. Of the many measures intro
duced by Senator Allen, Investigations
show that none of great Importance
to his constituents have failed. This Is
also true with respect to Senator Squire
and Representative Wilson. Since the adj
mission of Washington as state congress
has passed many important measures. not
only of benefit to tho state itself, but the
entire Pacific Northwest a. well.
Senator Aliens record since his advent
into the senate is not exceeded by any
man representing any Of tho new states
cause to feel proud of, and q record. also.
that his constituents can not fail
to approve. About tho only measures
penOinG u local interest 10 washington
state are public building bills, and these
are tied up in the lower house. 1t has not
been due to any fault of Representative
Wilson that they have not passed
and will not pass, as the rule made
at the opening of the Fifty-second session.
that no appropriation be made for public
buildings. has been rigidly adhered to.
and no Republican could hope to have Sc
cured the passage of bills Of this ma
ture. The bill providing for an appropria-
ton for the beginning of work on the Seattle
ship canal has not yet passed and the in
dications are. of course, that it will hardly
get through between now and March 4.
Nearly every other measure of any import
ance to Washington has either become a
law or probably will be before this con-
gress adiourns.

Gladstone States Britain's Stand
on Monetary Question.
UNITED STATES TO SETTLE ".
Pope Leo Displeassd 1t Americans for
Abandoning Pilgrimage to Rome
His Physician Advises Rest.

LONDON. Feb. 2s-Sir Henry Megsey-
Thompson, Liberal Unionist member Of
parliament, moved in the commons today
that the British government should use
influence to bring about the reassembling
of the international monetary con-
ference, with the object of
finding q remedy for the evils at
tendant upon the divergence in value
between gold and silver. Sir Henry. who
is recognized as q respectable authority on
trade questions, argued that mono-metal-
lism was . national misfortune. and fixed
on the bi-mettalIic ratio as the sole
remedy for existing difficulties growing
out of the currency problem.
Samuel Montague, Liberal member and
a weli-known member of the banking
house of Samuel Montague e. Co., ear
nestly supported Sir Henry's motion.
Other bi-metallists also addressed the
house in behalf Of the proposition.
Gladstone in reply reminded the house
that in the international monetary con-
ference the initiative had been taken by
the United States and it would be an un-
precedented proceeding now to deprive
America Of the initiative. In the opinion
of the government no plan yet
proposed showed how it was posi-
BILE to change the standard of value in
Great Britain. Hear, hear Gladstone
said England was not alone among the
civilized nations in her determination to
adhere to the present monetary system.
Half Of the powers represented at the
conference had shown leaning
toward bi-metallism, but they had
not given the merest shadow
of an indication of what change
they were prepared to make. In conclu-
sion Gladstone made an elaborate exposi-
ton of the benefits of mono-metallism and
the dangers of bi-metallism.
Chaplin, president Of the board of agri-
culture under the last Salisbury admins
tration. supported the motion of Sir
Henry.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. chan
cellor of the exchequer, declared that the
failure of the conference was due to the
absence of all definite proposals. If the
United States should reconvene the con-
ference and submit definite proposals
the British government would be
happy to send back delegates. but it
was not to be expected that it would pro-
vide scheme for the moro extensive use
of silver. Sir Henry Thompson's motion
was eventually rejected by a vote of 229 to
l4z. The announcement of the vote was
received with loud Liberal cheers.
