1T is we'll that to the descendants OF
the heroes OF our colonial struggle has
been committed the patriotic task OF
erecting this monument. The important

heroes, are charged with the grateful
task of gathering up for history the glo-
rious deed OF illu atrious men. 1t is theirs
to keep brightly burning the fires up
our patriotic altars; to inculcate the love
OF this country; to teach our American
youth that upon this worlds theater
have never appeared grander or manlier
men than Washington and his com peers,
and that the highest title they can wear
is that of American citizens"

Meeting of tho HOuss 5ub-Commietse on
Commerce.

Meeting OF tho House Subcommittee on
Commerce.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Such smooth
sailing marked the first meeting today of
the subcommittee OF the house commit
tee on commerce, appointed to frame a
Nicaragua canal plan. that mem bers feel
justified in predicting that the measure
will be prepared within a week. Sew
eral points were agreed upon today.
Although Represen tstive Bryan scheme
for currency issue to construct the
canal found some favor. it was definitely
abandoned, and Senator Morgan's plan
will furnish the foundation for the
bill, which provides for the usual
method of raising funds by means
of bond issue. 1t is practically de.
cided that the governments share
of tbe bonds shall be $80,000,C0J. The
mem bsrs agreed to insert in the bill a
proviso that the canal company must at
come early date (probably January 1,
lS95), satisfy the secretary of the treas
ury that all outstanding debtor con-
tracts have been cancelled and Satisfied
that the affairs Of the Maritime COM
psny's auxiliary. the contract company,
have been settled, and that company
has gone out of existence.
The government will guarantee the
funds with which to settle the affairs of
the present company, but matters must
be arranged 80 that the government will
find no com plicstious on its hands and
this will be made the first condition of
governmental control.

States are being fixed. trades being
made and the usual maneuvering that
precedes state convention is being done.
Despite the fact that the San Francisco

clared for Estee, it is no sure thing that
he will secure the nomination for gov

are still in the fight.

ing'' people, while State Treasurer
Mcdonald confined his efforts to the
rurnt- -<aietriots. -Ohivmsn,s4H and

nouncement by Burns was an attemp
to stampede the state for Estee, but il
failed.
TIL. Ward. county clerk of Los Ange.
les county, is at the Palace. He is a
candidate for clerk of the eupr eme
court.
T L. Corothers OF Mendocino county
is a candidate for attorney general. He
thought yesterday that his prospects
had improved over night, as Judge Fitz.
gerald and Charles Garter are not in the
race. having determined to withdraw.
This leaves the coast clear to Oregon
Sanders and Judge Carothers.
E. w. Mccarthy, one OF the Marin

fected.

WASHINGTON June 14.-In the senate
today bills we're passed to pay Joseph
Redeem, one of the Ford theater vic
tins, s2,758; to authorize the appoint
ment of women as public school trus-
tees in the District of Columbia; for the
development and encouragement OF silk
culture in the United States.
The tariff bill was taken up, Lodge
made an argument against free wool.
Mr.. Teller (Colorado) followed Mr..
Lodge with some remarks in favor OF
duty on raw wool. While discussing the
reduction of the rates on woolens Mr..
Hawlev interrupted Mr.. Teller to re-
mark that these reductions would result
inevitably in lowering the wages OF the
operatives 80 to 40 per cent.
EITHER a reduction OF wages or the
manufacturers would quit"
"rhey will not quit" replied Mr.
Teller. "They have to, much capital
involved. They will reduce wages and
the operatives, faced with starvation,
will stand the reduction. Men who live
by their labor cannot make a successful
contest against capital"
Senators Hoar. Higgins, Chandler and
Dolph spoke against free wool.
During the progress of Mr.. Dolph's g
speech he remarked that it was whis
pefed about the senate that the oppo-
sition had surrendered this, and that
the bill would pass before the present
month. If he could prevent it, the bill
would not be voted on until the people
had a chance to give an expression oil
their opinion at the general elections
next fall.
When the hour of o'clock srri we'd
Mr.. Harris showed no signs of NOV ing
an adjournment.

asked him il it would not be convenient
for him to proceed tomorrow.

Senator Harris, sarcasticslly, "has no,
been heard before on this bill, and
trust the senator from Pennsylvania will
afford him the fullest opportunity to

wave of his hand; but Mr.. Quay was not
willing, and, after stating that the usual
hour Of adjournment had passed, he
moved to adjourn.
The motion was lost, l6 to %, where
upon Mr.. Qlay moved that the senate
proceed with the consideration Of execu-
tive business.
This motion was also defeated, 10 to
A but it was apparent that the Demo.
cratic managers could not force the
hands of the Republicans to night, and
Mr.. Harris, after again calling attention
to the great delay 10 the bill, yielded
and at 6 :l5 the senate adjourned.
