TIE MEMORIAL BRIDGE
The Senate Amendment Disagreed
to by the House.
Representatives Cannon and Bah
cock Lead the Fight Against the
Plan to Span the Potomac River to
Arliugnton-Thc Senate COnferecs
May Insist on the Appropriations.

The Senate amendment to the Sundry
Civil bill, providing for the construction
of a Memorial Bridge across the Potomac,
was disagreed to by the House late yes
terday afternoon. The amendment follows:
Memorial Bridge Across Potomac River-To en-
able the Secretary of War TO commence the con-
convenient point of the Naval Observatory
grounds, from some point adjacent thereto,
across the Potomac River to the most
nent point of the Arlington estate property,
according to the recommendations OF the board
of officers OF the Corps Of Engineers and OF ar
chitects, approved by the Secretary of War and
the Chief OF Engineers OF the United States Army,
set out in ii. X. Doc. SIS, first session OF the
Fifty-sixth Congress, the sum of 500, ooo.
Mr. Rixey moved that the House should
grated upon the bill by the Senate. Mr..
Rixey spoke at some length in favor Of the
amendment. He reviewed the history OF
the proposition, and told of the growth OF
sentiment in favor of the bridge. He was
followed in support of the amendment by
Mr. Mudd, who said that the proposition
had been long pending, and the time was
ripe for beginning the great work. which
was demanded by sentiment North and
South.
Mr. Pearre and Mr.. Swanson made stir
ring speeches in behalf of the bridge pro-
ject. Mr.. Babcock, Chairman of the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia, opposed
the plan He said the project for a Me-
mortal Bridge had no stronger friend than
he, but he would vote against the pending
proposition. He thought it was ill-consid-
cred and had not gone through the proper
channels.
Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin interrupted to

almost universally approved and that the
plans which had been tentatively agreed
upon were the best that engineering skill
could produce.
Mr.. Cannon opposed the adoption of the
amendment. He would like to see, he said,
that part of Virginia in which Arlington
lies, receded to the General Government
that it might become again part of the
District of Columbia. If that was Lot
done he would have part of the expense
borne by Virginia. At least, the bridge
should be paid for in part out of the rev
enues of the District Of Columbia
The question being on the motion Of
Mr. Rixey that the House recede, the
Speaker put the motion and declaring that
the noes had it. a division Was ordered,
109 noes 103. Mr.. Cannon
demanded a roll call and the result was
yeas III, nays 131.
The amendment was therefore disagreed
to.
1t is considered likely that the Senate
will insist on the amendment.

Mr.. Fitzgerald asked if st. Joseph's Or
phan Asylum was classed as a sectarian
institution, in what class belonged the
Young Women's Christian Associa tion. and

The conference report was agreed to
with the exception of the hospital site
amendment Mr.. Babcock moved that on
this point the House recede and concur in
the Senate amendment. He explained the
need felt in the District of Columbia for
an adequate municipal hospital
Mr.. Payne followed in opposition to the
motion to concur, using the same argu-
ment which he advanced when the first
conference report was before the House
He denounced the proposed expenditure
as 'extravagant and willful waste of the
peoples money" He thought the sick who
become public charges should be boarded
at private hospitals, as at present. He
was followed by Mr.. Underwood of Ala
bama, who opposed the appropriation be-
cause, in his opinion. it had not gone
through the proper channels.
Mr.. Grout replied, making strong argu-
ment in behalf OF municipal hospital.
Favored by Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Allen of Mississippi said that he
was in favor of building municipal hos
pital and he believed that the first thing
to be done was to select site. He had
confidence in the integrity of the Commits
sioners of the District, even if the new
watchdog OF the Treasury tMr. Payne)
had not. He (Mr. Allen) would give TO

he could agree to do for the gentleman
from New York. Mr. Allen ridiculed MIR.
Payne's sudden outcry for economy
why" he said. you have voted away
during this session over seven hundred
million dollars of the peoples money, and
this is the first time you have conceived
the idea that economy is a good thing.
How did you stand on the bill giving $780,,
600 to the coming fair ct Buffalo? You
voted for it, of course. II man wants

THE coEUR D'ALENE REPORT.
Views of the Democratic Members of
the House Military Committee.

Views of the Democratic Members of
the House Military Committee.
Representatives Hay and Lentz, of the
Committee on Military Affairs. will sub
init the minority report on the Cosur
d'Alene enquiry today.
The minority point out that the evidence
taken during the investigation shows that
there was absolutely no rioting in .Sho-
shone County, Idaho, after April 20, 1899;
that when the United States troops ar
rived upon the scene quiet had been re-
stored and no resistance was being made
to the State authorities, who were arrest
ing as rapidly as possible those who were
suspected Of being implicated in the crime
of April g. 1893.
The report recites that the troops sent
to Idaho by the President Of the United
States continued to be under the control
of the President, and that the military
commander in commend could only use
the troops in aid of the civil authorities
of the State to preserve peace and order
and prevent resistance being made by law
less persons to the process Of the courts
and the proper civil authorities of the
State. The President Of the United Stat s
has kept and is still keeping soldiers in
that community, and by SO doing is up
holding a tyrannical course of conduct
pursued by the Governor of Idaho"
Under the head Abuses of Power" the
minority says:
Il. General Merriam sent on May about
$50 troops to the town of Burke and ar
rested without warrant the entire male
population OF that town, consisting Of
about 300 persons. 1t was an outrage upon
the liberty of the citizens which has no
parallel in the annals of this country.
80. General Merriam sent a detachment
OF troops into the State of Montana for the
purpose of arresting fugitives from Idaho,
an inexcusable exercise of arbitrary power
by General Merriam.
.3. Lieutenant Lyon, acting under the
orders of his superior officers, by threats
OF violence forced certain citizens to work
in the Tiger-Poorman mine against their
will. No such fragrant invasion of the right
of the citizen can be cited in the history
Of this country.
~. Major Smith suppressed the 'Mullan
Mirror, newspaper published at Mullan,
thus denying free speech and free press.
This was gross violation of law wholly
unjustified.
''5. The permit system-in fact, a black
list system-approved by General Merriam
and kept in operation TO this day by the
presence of the military forces of the
United States is violation of law which
cannot be defended.

A DENIAL FROM HAZEL.


Represcnt0t1ves.
When the House convened yesterday Mr..
Alexander Of New York, rising to ques-
ton OF personal privilege, directly after
the reading Of the journal, sent to the
Clerks desk a clipping containing part Of
a speech made by former Representative
Mahany of New York, making charges Of
dishonesty and extortion against him and
John R. Hazel in connection with the sale
to the Government of the steam yacht
Enquirer He then sent to the Clerks
desk and caused to be read an affidavit
from Mr.. Hazel. denying the allegations.
Mr.. Alexander then sent to the desk an
affidavit OF William J. connors, confirming
that of Mr.. Hazel.
BY way of explanation he said he learned
by letter from Hazel that the Enquirer
had been ordered from Buffalo to New
York for survey. In this letter Mr. Hazel
asked him TO see the Secretary of the Navy
and find out whether the yacht would be
tied up long pending the survey. This
was the only connection he had with the
sale of the Enquirer. In conclusion he
said:
II inflict this explanation upon the
House because a Senator at the other end
of the Capitol had seen fit to insert the
statement of Mr.. Mahany into the
Record But ] think / owe the House an
apology for so doing"

measures before it, report 10 the House,

was doing. 1t was taking the members of
