THE OPPOSITION STRONG.
Republicans Fear Defeat for the
Porto Rican Bill.

All is not plain sailing in the House for
the Porto Rican Tariff bill II the vote
had been taken last evening, the bill, 1t Is
said, would have been defeated by pro-
nounced majority. The Republican leaders
are alarmed over the growing opposition
in their rasks to the passage OF the bill,
and in order to kill the opposition a eau
Gus will be held. 1t is asserted. one day this
week Word was passed along the line
last evening that the caucus would be held
tonight, when the bill will be submitted
as a strict party measure.
There is no question but that a majority
of the Republicans are committed to the
measure, but there are enough members
opposed 10 the bill who. by voting with
The Democrats, can defeat IL.
The assertion was made yesterday that
at least dozen Republicans. who are op-
posed to the bill on constitutional grounds
will not enter the caucus, II it is called
because they are unwilling to yield their
judgment to, as they say, an unconstitu-
tioual piece of legislation for party pur-
poses.
The programme of the opposing Renuh-
licans is to have the bill recommitted, with
the understanding that bill like the one
first introduced by Mr.. Payne. extending
the customs and revenue laws of the
United States to the island OF Porto Rico.
Will be reported TO the House.

IDAHO LABOR TROUBLES.
IN Enquiry by the House Committee e
on Military Affairs.

The House Committee on Military Affairs
| began an enquiry into the Idaho labor
| troubles yesterday. Before the hearing
the committee decided to hear the Witness
es for those who complain of the action OF
the Federal troops first and then. il it is
desirable to hear those parties against
whom complaint Is made.
Representative LentZ of Ohio. who intro
duced the resolution was regarded as the
prosecutor. and appeared as the attorney
on behalf OF the complainants. Mr.. Lentz
called as his first witness Alfred ~ Fra
zier. an attorney of Boise. Idaho, who
said he had some knowledge of the labor
troubles through his connection with the
trials of those concerned in the labor riots.
Mr.. Lentz sought TO show that the State
courts were constantly in operation in
Shoshone county. Idaho. and there was no
necessity for martial law.
Mr. Frazier said rioters were tried. con-
victed, and sent to the penitentiary, but
when habeas corpus cases came up the
judge declined to try them on account of
the disturbances and the martial law. Mr..
Frazier presented the record of the trial of
a man named Corcoran, convicted in the
State courts for the murder Of several men
during the riots. The record was identified
and held for the use of the witnesses on
DOIH MT. rEdLitl was eAtuStu, as
he said he mad no personal knowledge OF
the matter.
Frederick Conrad Robertson, counsel for
the county commissioners of Shoshone
county, was called Mr.. Robertson describ-
ed the location of the Coeur D'Alene mines
by means of maps and blue prints. The
country through which the railroads run
in Shoshone county practically consists of
mountain gorges. Mr.. Lentz desired wit
ness to tell the whole story of the trouble
and after considerable discussion witness
was instructed TO proceed OF matters of
which he had personal knowledge.
Mr.. Robertson said that on April 13
1899. the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mines
employed 400 men. the Last Chance 200.
and the other Occur D'Alenes ,250 to 1000.
All employed union labor. paying $3.50 per
day except the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Mines. which paid ss.50 to $3.50.
On April 10 there was a strike at the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mines Joined by
both union and nom union men. The man
agemont acceded to the demands for $3.50
per day, but discharged all union miners
Threats by the miners caused an appeal
to the Governor by the managers of the
mines. The Governor advised arbitration
which Manager Burbidge refused.
The witness went over the suspension of
the writ of habeas corpus in Shoshone
county by the proclamation of the Cover
nor and the appeal of test case to the
Supreme Court of the United States
The hearing was then adjourned unta

AGAINST THE PAPER TRUST.
A Joint Resolution Introduced by
Representative Richardson.

Representative Richardson of Tennessee
introduced the following joint resolution
yesterday:
Whereas the prices Of wood pup. printing
paper, etc, have recently heen advanced, manu-
facturers in each instance having agreed upon
uniform prices per pound, which is prima iacie
evidence that trusts or combinations exist for
the purpose Of destroyig competition in order
that larger profits may be realized.
Re it enacted. That all wood pulp suitable for
or adapted to the manufacture OF printing paper
and all printing paper suitable for adapted

after six months from the passage OF this reso-
luton, be prohibited by the Interstate Commerce
Commission from being transported in any man
ner whatsoever from one state to another until
the said commission satisfied that wood pulp.
printing paper, etc, offered for interstate trans
portatiOn have not yielded a profit to the manu-.
facurers thereof OF more than per cent in
cess OF the cost OF the same, which shall be
ascertained in such manner the said comns-
sion in its discretion may determine.

THE HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY.
The ConvcntFon VIII Not BE Brought
Up In Committee Today.

Senator Lodges hurried departure from
Washington Mandgy evening, due TO the
news of his mothers death at Boston,
viii result in changing somewhat the tenn
porary order of business in the Senate,
which had been arranged to occupy the
time until the, steering committee. to be
appointed. perhaps. today by its chairman,
Senator AllisoE, can arrange permanent
programme for the session.
The Philippines Committee, of wtich
Senator Lodge is Chairman, was to have
met yesterday morning and reported 10 tue
Senate the bill giving the President full
power and control in the Philippines until
the insurrection shall end and Congress
provide permanent form of government
The report was to have been followed to-
day by Senator Lodges speech in support
of the bill, of which Senator Spooner is
the author.
The programme will be changed by Sena-
tor Lodges absence which may also have
a direct effect upon the immediate for-
tunes Of the ay-Pauncefote Canal Treaty.
The regular meeting of the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee will be held today, but
the treaty will not be acted upon. Neither
would it have been had Mr.. Lodge. who.
with Mr.. Morgan, constitutes a subcom-
mittee on the canal question, remained in

as a cause of delay, but the fact is that no
action on the treaty can be taken at pres
ent, under any circumstances. for the rea-
son that if voted on now. in its present
shape, 1t would be defeated, and, of course,
its friends will not risk such a result as
that. Popular opinion is against the con-
vention as a surrender Of Our rights to
England, and the most enthusiastic Ad-
ministration Senators freely admit that 1t
is so. They admit, also, that more than
majority of Senator's will insist upon
amending the treaty.
In the meantime the Administration
processes to be doing nothing, content with
the belief that the negotiations cannot be
reopened under any circumstances. and
that time will show that the Senators who
are opposing the treaty are acting from
lack of knowledge. and that the people
whose views they are supposed to repre-
sent are altogether wrong in their opin-
ion that the United States got the wrong
end Of the diplomatic bargain with Great
Britain.

cipaliy to statements by supervising prin-

explained the system in vogue here. which.
he said, has been declared to be one Of the
best in the country.
Other addresses were delivered. and the
present system, especially with reference
to the teaching of spelling and writing,
was detailed. The consensus of these va
rious statements was that teaching in the
schools of the District has been brought to
q high grade of perfection.
Next Tuesday the subcommittee will give
n hearing to the public at large on the sub
ject OF the schools, at 10 o'clock a. III. 1t is

POLTGAMY IN UTAH.
Speeches in Favor of Prohibitiye e
Constitutional Amendment.

W. r. Campbell. of Utah. and DR.. Jo-
siah Strong, of New York. appeared before
the House judiciary Committee yesterday
and made arguments in favor of an
amendment to the Constitution TO pro-
hibit polygamy.
Mr. Campbell addressed the committee
first He said that since 1890 the Mormon
church had more than doubled. that there
were now 1000 polygamous families in
Utah. The country demanded relief end
looked to Congress for 1t.
Dr. Josiah Strong said polygamy was
the only crime committed with religion
for It's motive. Polygamy was an essen
tial of Mormonism. AS nearly all the Off
cials in Utah were Mormons it would be
seen at once that they would not punish
n crime which was part of their religion.
DR.. Strong drew very powerful indct-
ment against polygamy and said it was
necessary for an amendment TO the Con-
stitution in order that the crime could be
crushed out
