Wednesday resumed the confederation OF
the bill to establish territorial govern

Wednesday resumed the confederation OF
the bill to establish territorial govern
ment in Hawaii
Mr.. Mcdowell, member of the commit
tee on territories, was the list speaker.
The cross examination of Frederick Bur
bidge, manager of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mine, was continued in the Occur
d'Alene investigation. There were fire.
quent animated controversies between the
members of the committee. One of these
occurred over the authority of Mr.. Crosth-
waite, one of the private counsel, to APP
pear. He denied that he represented the
Bunker Hill mine or General Merriam, and
said he was retained and paid by Cover
nor Steunenberg.
The naval appropriation bill was Thurs
day reported to the house by Acting Chair
man Foss of the naval committee. Mr.
Wheeler presented the minority report
The amount carried by the bill is $Sl ,2l9,-
DIG, the largest ever reported to the house
from the naval committee. Aside from
this the report which accompanies the
bill is remarkable for its array of facts
regarding sea power the world over, for
eign naval programs and the comparative
strength of the navies of the great powers,
accompanied by colored charts showing
the upbuilding Of various great navies.
II. r. Rogers, bookkeeper at the Bunk
er Hill mine, and Warden Coakley, who
had charge of the "bull pen" were the
witnesses before the Occur d'Alene inves-
tigation committee Thursday.
Rogers was present when the mill was
blown up and was shot during the ARRAY.
He gave graphic detailed description OF
the exciting events.
Warden Coakley told of his manage
ment of the prisoners, denying the charges
of bad food and bad treatment.
He said the men were well fed, were
supplied with good coverings and cloth
| ing, and he knew of no instance in which
they were abused. He also submitted a
detailed record of the men in the prison.

Make Money ON the Wreck.

Castor Drake Of Nassau, Bahama
with other Americans now own the
wreck Of the Spanish warship Infanta
Maria Teresa, lying in two fathoms oil
water near Bird Point, Cat Island
Drake and his associates purpose tc
break up the wreck for the metal there
Is In it. Mr.. Drake wants to bring
the metal into this country free of du
ty. Mr.. brakes lawyers asked the
treasury department If this could be
done. In reply counsel for the treas
ury department wrote:
"The Spanish war vessel was not the
property of the United States at the
time she was originally wrecked, but
was the property of the Spanish govern
ment, and as the United States govern
ment has abandoned the vessel on Cal
Island, its owners have been changed
from the United States to private citi
zens. Formal wreckage upon it's i'm
portation to the United States will be
duitable."
Mr.. Drake and his partners believe
there will be profit in the importation
from the metal Of the wreck il admit
ted free of duty, but not otherwise.

In the House.

When the house met Monday, Payne,
the majority leader, presented a resolution
which was adopted calling on the secre-
tary OF the treasury for information as to
whether the war revenue act had created
a surplus, and all the details concerning
the revenue under that act, with estimates
of expenditures. The presentation of the
resolution calling, as it does, for informa.
ton which may furnish the basis for a
reduction Of the war revenues created con.
siderable interest.
The chief interest in Governor Steunen.
bergs testimony before the Occur dAlene
investigation was in his continuance Of
the recital begun at the last session Of the
old conditions prior to the uprising Of
April last. He had been asked by Rep
resentative Dick why he refused to dis
band the militia of the Occur d'Alene
district in 1897, as had been requested
by the county commissioners.
He said that at that time officers of the
Western Federation Of Miners were advis,
ing the arming of the unions, and that he
had an address by one of these officials
stating that "every union should have a
rifle club and that in two years we can
hear the inspiring music of $4,000 armed
men in the ranks of labor"
Steunenberg said that following this
there was evidence in the Occur dAlene
district that the advice was being fol-
lowed
In the house Tuesday, Mr.. Cooper, chair
man of the committee on insular affairs,
asked unanimous consent for the consider
alton of the bill authorizing the secretary
of the treasury to designate repositories
in Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.
Mr.. Brewer objected.
The bill was passed to allow men who
served during the Spanish war or in the
Philippine instruction, in the army, navy
or marine corps, who enter lands under
the homestead act to deduct the time of
such service from the period required to
perfect the title
Frederick Burbidge, manager of the
Bunker Hill 4 Sullivan mine, was the
chief witness at the Occur d'Alene inves-
tigation. 1t was the mill of this company
which was blown up in the uprising last
April.
Brigadier General Carlin was to have
continued his testimony on the insurrec
ton in 1892, but his official report of that
occurrence was accepted as sufficient, and
he then gave way to Burbidge

WRECK NEAR SPR|KGDALE
SPOKANE & NORTHERN WRECK
The Train PlungeS Through
Brdge-Flames Swept Over the
Cars-Twenty-One Are in Ashes
Brakeman Dunlap Injured.

Spokane, April "a serious and what
may prove fatal accident occurred on the
Spokane d Northern road Monday, result
ing in serious injury to Brakeman Dun
lap, slight injuries to several others, and
the destruction of 81 freight cars with
their contents.
The scene of the accident was on the
high trestle near Sheep creek, about a
mile and half north of Springdale.
North-bound freight train, No. Is, with
Conductor Dorsey in charge, was running
along with no suspicion Of anything be-
ing wrong with the track.
Plunged Into the Gulch.
On reaching the trestle the engine and
number of cars passed over in safety,
when suddenly the trestle gave way, pre-
cipitating several cars about the middle of
the train into the gulch 40 feet below.
In falling they drew with them both
ends of the train, only the engine and one
car remaining on the track on one side
and the caboose and four cars on the 9TH
er. Twenty-four cars went through the
trestle.
The only one of the trainmen who was
riding on the cars which went down was
Brakeman Dunlap, and he is reported to
be injured.
-Four unknown men, who were stealing
a ride, also went down with the train,
but are said to have escaped with slight
injuries.
AS the cars struck and piled up in the
gulch they caught on fire, presumably from
a cargo of matches which was in one OF
them. Before the flames were extinguished
81 cars were destroyed. The cars carried
la miscellaneous assortment Of freight, there
being car each of whisky, beer, matches,
coal, dry goods and groceries. There were
also a number of cars of ice.

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS
PUERTO RICAN BILL PASSED
Bill Providing for SOldierw Home-
steads Passed-The Occur d'Alene
InvestigatiOn-The Clark Case W
Other Notes Of Congress.
In the Senate.


The Puerto Rican bill passed the senate
by a vote of 40 to 81 Tuesday.
The voting began on the Puerto Rican
bill shortly after = number OF committee
amendments were agreed to without d.
vision
Senator Davis offered his amendment,
making Puerto Rico an internal revenue
district and granting free trade. The
vote on this amendment was taken by
yeas and nays. 1t was lost by vote OF
80 to 40.
The senate convened at IL o'clock to
begin the final days discussion OF the
Puerto Rican bill. After some minor
business had been transacted Senator Ma
son addressed the senate. His speech was
not confined to the Puerto Rica measure,
but included in its scope all the problems
attendant on the control and government
of our insular possessions. He spoke in
favor of the resolution of Senator Yelling
ton, which offers independence to the Fill
pinos, and against Senator Spooner's bill
comforting authority on the president to
govern the Filipinos until congress should
otherwise direct. Incidentally, he opposed
the tariff proposed to be placed upon
Puerto Rican products.
At the conclusion of Senator Mason's
speech, Senator Culberson Of Texas ad-
dressed the senate in opposition to the
pending measure. 1t was his first speech
in the senate and he was given an atten-
tive hearing. He declared that the pend
ing measure, 80 far at least as tariff pro-
visions were concerned, was "indefensible
on moral, economical and constitutional
grounds"
The argument in the case Of Senator
Clark of Montana was begun by counsel
for the memorialists before the senate
committee on privileges and elections.
At the cabinet meeting the subject OF
reduction in revenues by congress was
discussed. 1t is understood the admins
tration is in favor of the revision Of the
war revenue act SO as to cut down the
receipts, but in view of the fact that to
make any move in that direction probably
would prolong the present session of con-
gress for many weeks, if not months, it
is thought by representative republicans
that nothing on this line would be advis-
able at this session.
The resignation of Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Webster Davis was dis
cussed, and it is understood the president
will accept the same.
In the senate Wednesday Senator Stew
art presented petition from citizens of
Cuba representing $l50,OOO,OOO of capital
praying congress to enact law prohib-
iting the use of the United States military
power to prevent the landing of COM
peting cable from the United States"
After the disposal of the morning bus
mess Thursday Senator Gallinger address
ed the senate in opposition to the seating
of Quay.
Attorney Bierney continued his argu-
ment in the case of Senator Clark of
Montana before the committee on cleo
tons. He was followed by Rogers Foster
in Clark's behalf. Fosters plea was quite
sensational in its denunciation of the pros
ecution against Clark.
