SPECIAL BILL CARRIES 100000
For Rivers and Harb0rs Alask an
Bill With "Embaimed" Speeches.


Washington May 1.-THE house today
passed a special river and harbor bill,
carrying $4,000 for surveys and emerg
ency work and devoted the remainder of
the day to the Alaskan code bin. Four
OF the 617 pages of thbe lliETAOINN
of the CIT pages of the bill were disposed
of before adjournment. The bill was
taken up under an agreement for three
hours general debate, with general leave
to print. Mr.. Payne, who yesterday OBJ
jected to granting general leave to print,
explained that he would not object, as he
understood that many of the members on
both sides had prepared compositions
which they desired to "embalm" in the
record. for political reasons. The gen.
eraI debate was devoted almost exclusive
ly to political topics. Many members
simply addressed the house for a minute
or two in order to avail themselves Of
the privilege Of printing remarks in the
Congressional Record.
The president returned to the house
bill TO pension John NJ. Smith. The benz
ficiary has died since ten passage OF the
bill

FAMINE RELIEF WORK IN INDIA
How the Gaunt Hindoe Keeps Life in
His Miserable Frame

/ London. May 16.-The correspondent Of
the Daily Chronicle writes on the Indian
famine thus: Three miles out from Bill
aspur, 1900 persons are busy adding 10
the long list Of tanks constructed by fam
inc labor. Further on stone breaking Is
in progress and peasants who have never
before handled any implement save those
of husbandry wrestle manfully with crow
bars and boring tools. When the rock
is broken women and youngsters busIly
ply little hammers. An alcoholics man
earns cents. women IL cents and chill
dren cents. To European cars this
wage sounds preposterously low. II the
price OF grain increases the wage Is In
creased and vice versa, so that a fun
days toll secures TO every worker a
sufficiency of food. No work. no pay. The
old and feeble are drafted into the weak
ly gangs. They would be infinitely bet
ter in the camp kitchen. which Is always
open TO them. But Indian peasant women
dread the 'kankalkahana' with the same
unreasoning aversion that the English
poor have for the workhiuse. They love
to handle money and even these wrecks
of humanity lay by few pies "a pie -
the equivalent Of Quarter-cent, United
States currency OF their miserable pit
lance and starve their shrunken bodies.
in order TO get morsel OF opium or to-
bacco. The type Of relief work described
at Bilaspus Is found by the hundreds in
tn central provinces. and the aid given TO
the abIe1bodied people seems sufficient
and the kitchen and hospitals are well
managed. But the penny wage for
weakly gang Is insufficient I am as
sured, however, that It will be raised"

expenses nor of appreciable time. In
New York the wagon service actually had
increased since the pneumatic tubes had
been put in. Mr.. Wolcott declared that
the pneumatic tube people had "swarmed
the senate corridors all winter like bees
in hivng time They did not want
merely the $25O,000 necessary to support
the present service, but they wanted the
additional appropriation Of s5OO,OOO."
He pointed out that the company con-
trolling the pneumatic tubes had figured
upon putting down eighty miles OF them
in the city of Chicago, and yet. he said,
the postmaster of Chicago, until recently,
was opposed to the service, and now he
was just as violently in favor Of It. This
was true he said. of many other post
masters. 1--WE all want good mail SER
vice." said Mr.. Wolcott, "but we don't
want 1t at the expense of jobbery and
corruption-we do not want to be held
up to secure it,
In conclusion, Mr.. Wolcott declared the
government simply was throwing away
money on the pneumatic tube scheme. IF
we appropriate for this purpose blindly,
be paying for the service twenty million
dollars a year, at least. In my eEper-
fence no scheme has been presented here
which opens so widely the doors OF
abuse"
Mr.. Mason made an extended reply to
Mr.. Wolcott. He presented petitions and
memorials from trade and commercial
bodies in Chicago showing that the people
OF the western metropolis were unit in
demanding the service. Referring to Mr..
Wolcott, he said: 'tHe cannot name
man in the postoffice department except
the man who has the wagon contract,
who is not in favor of the extension of
this service, and 1 may say that among
the bees buzzing around these corridors
this winter the mail wagon bees have
filled their share of space"
The conference report on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was agreed to.
The senate then, after a brief executive
session. at 4:40 p. M, adjourned.

Louisville, KY, December 14.-At the
meeting of the American Federation Of
Labor to-day a special committee on
the report Of the president indorsef
Gompers' denunciation of the authori.
ties in Idaho for the alleged illegal ac-
tion taken during the Couer d'Alene la
Dor troubles in Shoshone county, IDAHO
Governor Steunenberg was condemne
for his alleged usurpation during the
riots. The report expressed an agree
ment with President Gompers in the
statement that the contract labor law
has proved Intellectual The executive
council was Instructed to formulate and
submit suggestions to the proper com-
mittees in congress for further legisla-
tion.
A special committee on compulsory
arbitration reported as in full accord
with President Gompers when he sa! I
that the right to quit work was an in
violable prerogative Of every American
workman, and the restriction OF that
right an outrage on the liberties Of the
American people. The report recon-
mended to the convention to take su-h
action as will secure legislation for vol
untary arbitration as opposed to coni.
pulsory arbitration. Reports from both
special committees were unanimously
adopted,

The STRIKE is OYER.
Plenty Of Operators are Available in New
Mexico-The Miners Excursion.

H. S. Lutz, agent of the Santa Ie
railroad in this city, has returned from
Lamy and Glorieta, where he acted as
train dispatcher and operator during
the strike of operators. Mr.. Lutz re-
ports that all of the places of striking
operators on the railroad in New Mexi-
co have been filled, and that the RIO
Grande division has operators to spare.
Passenger and freight trains move as
usual. The miners excursion came
down from the north in three sections
last evening, and while but few miner $
came to Santa Fe, many of them will
stop off here before returning home.
Those excursions are doing New MeXi-
co much good by bringing mining men
into the territory. The branch train
from Lamy did not arrive here until
midnight on account of waiting for the
three sections of No. IL. The bridge at
Fulton, that burned down yesterday,
was only short one, and the damage
was repaired in several hours, only
passenger trains going eastward being
delayed by the accident.

GRANT COUNTY MINES.
The Growing Camp at STEMS Pass Gold
Hill Prospects.

The owners of the Granite mine at
STEMS Pass continue to make regular
shipments of good grade ore. Consid-
cradle development is also being done
on this property.
From few inhabitants year ago,
STEMS Pass has steadily increased in
population, as was shown by the regis
tration of almost one hundred voters
prior to the last election, which would
indicate more than 400 population. This
will more than likely be doubled within
the next year.
The old Volcano mine at STEMS Pass,
will be actively worked in future, all
necessary machinery having been. in
stalled. The completion Of the pipe
line, which will carry the water supply
to the workings, and all other surface
Improvements will render the operation
of the property on a paying basis possi-

good record as a producer.
Sanford Robinson, the superintendent
Of the Steeple Rock Development Co.'S
mines, came to Gold Hill several weeks
ago. accompanied by an expert, and
spent several days examining mining
properties. He was so we'll pleased that
he and Messrs. H. o. Spence and A. L.
Harrington visited the camp again last
week. Samples. We're taken from a
number Of Gold Hill properties and
