ron WORK DONE AT NAVY YARD.
Charge That Cramp & Son Were Paid
$4,000 Too Much.

Washington, Feb. "a witness named
keegan made the statement before the
Senate committee on education and labor
to-day, during a hearing on the eight-hour
BILL that he had been informed that Cramp
& Son had collected $1,000 for work done
at the government navy yard.
Mr.. Keegan is from Philadelphia, and he
appeared as the representative of the Ma
tional Association of Machinists. He said
he had secured the information upon which
the statement was made during a visit to
the navy yard since his arrival in Wash
ington.
His statement Ia detail was to the effect
that Cramps had secured a contract 20
build a certain number of gun carriages
for the government, that for some reason
they had the work performed at the navy
yard and it was found that when the work
had been completed it had cost $1,000 less
than the contract price, but that never
theless the money was paid over to the
firm by the treasury department.
This statement was challenged by the
attorney of the Cramps, who was present,
and Senaaor Kyle was instructed to make
an investigation of the matter

INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.
Why Cotton Planters Convention
VIII Not BE Held Now.

VIII Not De Held Now.
New Orleans, Feb. 3--The committee
having in charge the arrangements for
handling the convention of cotton plant
ors and representatives OF the allied inter-
ests in their trade, have finally decided to
postpone the calling of the convention to
an indehnate date.
The fear is entertained lest the interval
between now and Feb. 16, the date orig
irany set for the convention, is too brief
TO permit Of bringing a large and repre-
sentative attendance TO New Orleans for
the occasion.
Owing to the fact that the planters
throughout the cotton-growing country are
even now engaged in the work Of prepar-
ing ground for the coming crop, It Is
deemed lnadvisable to fix any time for
holding such a congress-
The cotton planters are, the committee
says, in very bad financial condition, and
the encumbrance on them at this season
Of the year renders It impossible for them
to assemble.

A Substitute for the Morgan Nicnrn-
gun Canal Measure.


Washington, Feb S.-The House commit
tee on Interstate and foreign commerce 90
day directed a favorable report on the
Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill with amend
ments, as substitute for the Morgan bill,
passed by tho Senate.

dent OF the United States to acquire by
purchase from Nicaragua and Costa Rlca
the territory necessary to build the canal.
and then to proceed with the construction
of Il. one hundred and 1ifteen million dol
lars is appropriated for the completion OF
the work authorized
The changes made in the original Hep
burn bill are in reducing the appropra-
ton from $l40,OO0OO0 to $l15,OOO, 600: striking
out the provision for the acquisition oi
FUN ownership, jurisdiction and sover-
eignty" over the route; and in adding civil
and engineers from the navy and civil life
90 those of the army for the purpose OF
making surveys. etc
1t is understood that in the voting to.
day the committee was unanimous in sub
sttuting the Hepburn for the Morgan bill
with the exception of Mr.. Mann of hi.
nois, who considered the Morgan bill a
better drawn mea sure for securing the
desired purposes of a canal.
MIR. Mann gave notice that he would
make a minority report.

FILIPINOS ARE INDIGNANT.
Say the Americans Treat Them More
Severely Than Did Spain.

Hong Kong, Feb. 3.-The Filipino junta
here has issued the following statement:
simultaneously with the proclamation
of the republic Agunaldo released the
Spanish war prisoners as an act of grace.
''The Spanish imposition of the poll tax
is enforced by the Americans with greater
severity. Formerly the poor paid 50 and
the rich $37. Now the lowest pay IS and
the rich $780, which is greatly exasperat-
ing to the people.
Gambling, cock fighting, bribing.
squeezing and the American abuses of the
customs are causing decentralization. The
Spanish corrupt despotic system seems TO
be the moral of the American executive.
THE Manila Filipinos are indignant at
the notion of the American journals that
they will tamely submit to be experimental
with by Americas colonial administrators.
and hope the decision of the United States
on Monday will be of a nature to
satisfy their aspirations as frequently ex-
pressed"

mittee that Maj. Gen. Wheeler, men,
Der from Alabama Col. James r. Campbell
of Illinois, Col David G.. Colson Of Ken
lucky and Maj. Edward E. Robbins of
Pennsylvania had vacated their seats in
the House by accepting commissions in
the army.
AT the same time the committee deter
mined that none of the members of Con-
gress serving on civil commissions had
thereby vacated their seats in the House.
The judiciary committee has been con-
Quoting the inquiry for several days. and
after an arduous session. ending at 1880
p. m, the injunction of secrecy was re-
moved.
Mr.. Henderson, chairman of the CON-
mittee, says that throughout the inquiry

It Is said Gen. Wheeler and his asso-
ciates viii take no action for the present
as the findings of the committees are vet
to be passed upon by the House.
The fact that Mr.. jenkins voted against
unseating Gen. Wheeler and the other;
may lead to minority report, although
no notice of such was given.
