CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
WILL HAVE MUCH TO Do.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, Nv. Va, February p.
The House had a lively meeting to-
night, which was put in considering
amendments to the appropriation bill.
The chief difficulty was encountered
over the Pan-American item, which
was, after discussion by Reynolds and
Grant in opposition to the amendment
of the Senate and Davies in support, re-
Jected by a vote of Sc to 10.
The amendment providing that no
part of the University appropriation
be available until the retirement of
the present president was the next
point of attack, and the discussion upon
it was sharp. Reynolds led off against
it in a characteristic harangue and he
was followed by Jackson, Stapleton,
Talbot, Smith, of Ohio, and Wetzel,
all in opposition. The amendment was
rejected by a unanimous vote.
The amendment declaring against the
summer quarter of the University was
also rejected.
OF the other minor amendments
oOhlO HOlC dSICCQ W anu SOluO lOJCGICQ.
There will be considerable fight over
the bill in conference tomorrow, IN
less the presiding officers throw down
those who favor the various amend
ments by appointing members of the
committee who are opposed to them.
The Senate expected to hold the
Pan-American item in the bill in con-
sideration of not disturbing the geo
logical survey appropriation, but the
geological business is now in the bill
and beyond the power of the Senate to
reach, while the House still has the
chance to bring the other body to time
on the Pan-American matter.
President Smith is against the ap-
preparation, and, though the Senate is
entitled to be represented by a COM
mittee, the majority of which is IA
vorable to it, he will doubtless appoint
a majority the other way. Atkinson
and his friends are fighting like fiends
to save the appropriation and endorse
the executive action, and they may be
strong enough to win out, but it looks
tonight like they would be %overpower-
ed. The Republicans don't care much
for ~has-beens, and now that Atkinson
is not to get the judgeship, he is con-
sidered a dead one.

TWO BIG SENSATIONS N
THE HOUSE YESTERDAY.
SEVERE ARRANGEMENT OF OFF,
GERS OF THE ARMY AND
NAVY BY HEPBURN.
EXTRA COMPENSATION BILL
STIRS MEMBERS TO MAKE START
LING ACCUSATIONS CONCERN
ING HOUSE EMPLOYEES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-This was
another field day in the House. Two
distinct sensations occurred. Eearly in
the day, during the consideration of
an ~amendemnt to the deficiency appro-
priation bill to prevent hazing at the
naval academy, Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa,
used exceedingly strong language while
inveighing against the practice of
hazing, charging by indiscretion, that
the habits of tyranny and oppression
| formed by the officers of the army and
| navy at their academies was response
bic for the refusal of sailors to enlist
in the navy and for the large number
OF assertions from the army. More
| over, he alleged that the officers stood
! by each other when in trouble, saying
that the commanders of 20 vessels of
| the navy lost since the civil war, had,
with n exception, escaped with slight
| punishment.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, and Mr.. Day
ton, of West Virginia. warmly de-
Tended the navy.
The stir caused by Mr.. Hepburn's
speech, however, was mild compared
with the row which was kicked up later
over some items in the bill for extra
compensation to employees of the House.
Mr.. Dinsmore, of Arkansas, exposed the
fact that n of the employees of the
House, while occupying one position,
was drawing salary for another and
that the difference between the salar-
les was to be made up in one of the
items in the bill. This led to a general
ventilation of the domestic affairs of
the House, during which Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas, declared that the situation was
a scandal upon the integrity of the
House. He charged that there were
employees of the House who were divid-
ing their salaries with others who per-
formed no work, and challenged any
one on the other side to deny his allie
cations. He offered to produce sworn
testimony in substantiation of his
charges if an investigating committee
was appointed. 1t was explained by
MI. Joy, of Missouri, and others. that
there was no law concerning the en-
ployes of the House. Mr.. Cannon con-
tented himself with saying it was evil
dent matters were very much mixed"
At the close of the session Mr.. Bailey
offerS1 a resolution for the appoint
ment of an Investigating committee,
which was referred to the committee
| on rules on the assurance of Mr.. Payne,
the majority leader, that it would be
reported at once. The general defic-
ieney appropriation bill-the last of the
appropriation bills, was passed.
For nearly two hours to-day the Sen
ate had under discussion a resolution
by Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas, to bring the
antitrust bill passed by the House at
the last session before the Senate. The
resolution finally went to the calen-
dar.
During the remainder of the after
Don the postoffice appropriation bill
was under discussion.
1t was decided to begin holding night
night sessions tomorrow night.

ANXIETY IN THE TRADE.
Iron Age Discusses the Iron and
Steel Situation With Regard to the
Big Combine.

DIG tOHtbtHt.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Anent the
steel situation, the Iron Age to-day
says:
Pending the official announcement
of the details OF the Morgan CONSOLE
dation, the trade is at sea as TO its pos
sible effect. which no one, whatever his
connection with the industry. can
escape. A large capitalization and the
facts point to that direction, and means
very heavy fixed charges. which in
turn would imply ability on the part OF
outsiders. Certainly no new enter
prises would enter the lists without
with ample provisions for raw mater
ials. Until the price paid for peace
among the interests to be gathered in
is known, 1t is impossible to Judge
whether it is nigh or low.
All will depend upon the manage
ment, which must be broad and tact
full. Crowding prices would be fate
full in many ways. Leading men point
put that the true policy must be to Sc
cure economics and share them with
the consumers. In other words. the
plan must be TO persistently lower
prices. With control Of everything from
the ground up. there will be little
excuse of fluctuations, and a steady
ing of the markets must be a natural
result.
If il were not that the situation in
steel billets is peculiar, one OF the first
steps should be a lowering in the price.
which would do much to allay public
apprehension

NO CHINA TERRITORY
To Be sought or Accepted Except by
nternationa Agreement.

To Be sought or Accepted Except by
International Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-At the in
stance of the United States govern
ment the powers have accepted the
principle that NJ further individual
concessions of territory in China shall
be sought or obtained by any one with
out international assent
This agreement applies not only to Tien
Tsln, where there has been some rivalry
exhibited in the effort to obtain conces-
sions for foreign settlements. but to all
other Chinese points. The State Depart
ment began this movement some time ago.
So hereafter if any one nation seeks to
secure room for its individual settlements
or like privileges, in ports or elsewhere in
China, the application must be approved
by the other powers before the Chinese
government will be permitted to assent,
even if it desired to do so. 1t cannot be
at this moment whether the
conclusion above announced is retroactive
in effect.
