SESSION OF THE SENATE
Consideration of the ship Subsidy Bill
Resumed.

consideration OF the snip Subsidy Bill
Resumed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Soon after the
senate convened today, a resolution,
previously offered by Mr.. Pettigrew,
calling on the secretary Of war for a
copy of General MacArthur's report as
to the conditions in the Philippines and
for other papers relating to the Philip.
pines, were adopted.
At the instance of Mr.. Frye of Maine
consideration of the shipping bill was
resumed. Mr.. Frye then made an ap.
peal to the senate that a time be fixed
for vote upon the pending measure.
He was exceedingly desirous for vote.
Personally he had no more desire for
night sessions than any other senator.
He hoped that the senate might agree
upon some time for a vote.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas said he did not
think that at this time any agreement
could be made for a vote.
Mr.. Halle of Maine said he could un-
derstand perfectly the views of those
opposed to the measure, but he believed
the senate would be indulgent, as it al
ways had been, with senators who de.
sired to prepare speeches upon the meas
ure. He suggested that senators should
bear in mind that the pending measure
was in effect a political measure, and
that the majority would have to assume
the responsibility for it. He did not be-
heve there was any desire to tilibuster
against the bill.
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina ex-
pressed his admiration for the ''wisdom
and diplomacy always exhibited by the
senator from Maine" (Mr. Hale) and
for 1.-The plain way in which he has at
tempted to smooth the troubled waters
here" He inquired, however, how
senators could prepare speeches when
they were now under full head Of steam
from Z o'clock in the morning until II
o'clock at night
Mr.. Hale believed those who desired
to prepare speeches would find time to
do so.
Mr.. Pritchard spoke briefly in favor
of the shipping bill, and the naval ap.
preparation bill was then taken up.
The night sessions of the senate have
been abandoned by the Republicans for
tonight and tomorrow. 1t is stated that
they may again be held next week. The
Republicans say that if the Republican
majority are willing and determined to
go ahead with the shipping bill, the mi
uority must take the responsibility OF
forcing an extra session for the appro-
priation bills.

PHILIPPINE AND
CUBAN QUESTIONS
Congressional Leaders Try.
ing to Solve Difficulties.
SOME KN0TTY PROBLEMS

Declaration of the Attitude of United
States Toward Cuba, For Guidance
of President, Likely to Be Made by
Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Reports to the
effect that the Republican leaders of the
senate have formulated definite plans
for legislation during the present ses-
sion of congress on the Cuban aid Phil
lpplne questions are premature, but the
leaders are engaged in an earnest effort
to find a solution of the difficulties
which beset them, The Cuban problem
offers far greater intricacies than the
Philippine question.
There is a general disposition to ac-
cept the Spooner bill as a sufficient pro.
nouncement on the Philippines ques
tion, and it is now the plan to have Sen
ator Lodge, chairman of the Philippines
commission, to compose the bill, with
possibly some notifications as an amend.
ment to the army appropriation bill.
The Cuban Question.
Senator Platt of Connecticut, chair.
man of the committee on relations with
Cuba, also is contemplating the pro-
priety and expediency of presenting an
amendment to the army bill covering
the Cuban situation, and he, with other
lawyers of the senate, are giving much
attention to the question.
Talk of securing congressional action
on the Cuban constitution at the pres
ent session of congress has been quite
definitely abandoned, and the best hoped
for Is to secure declaration of the atti-
tude of this country toward Cuba, which
would be guide to the president dur
ing the congressional interim. Tha
present plan is to try to secure the in
corporation of such declaration III the
army appropriation bill as the surest
way of getting the bill through.

POLITICS AND RELIGION.
An Interesting Fight Is Now ON In
Charleston.

CHARLESTON, Feb. S.-Politics and re.
igion came up in heated discussion
before council committee when q del
egation was heard urging the repeal of
the ordinance passed to appropriate
money for the establishment Of Gath
olic orphanage. 1t is claimed that the
A. F. A. is backing the opposition to
the measure. In the discussion 1t was
shown that Jewish children were not
allowed to follow their own faith in the
present Charleston orphanage home,
and three Hebrews from the institution
were removed and sent to Atlanta.
Priests of the Catholic church had not
been allowed to conduct services in the
institution, and the same rule applied
to ministers of the Unitarian church.
The ways and means committee was
requested to recommend the repeal of
the new law, but this will be refused.
The fight is altogether on religious
lines.
Opponents to the Catholic orphanage
claim it is violation of the state and
federal constitutions, and the matter
will go TO the courts at once unless
council repeals.

WHITE FEATHER
SHOWN BY NATION
A Proposed Raid Which Did
Not Materialize.
CARRIE CALLED A COWARD

When Everything Was Ready For an
Onslaught on Topeka Joints, the
Smasher Declared Lord Didn't Want
Her to Go.
TOPEKA, Feb. 8-Mrs. Nation last
night, for the first time, displayed the
white feather. 1t was at meeting OF
30 Of her followers, who, armed with
hatchets, had gathered in secret to ar
range night raid on Topeka joints
The women had been promised the aid
of several male students at Washburn,
who were to come to town, armed, after
midnight and personally take part in
the raid and also see that the women
were not molested. The women planned
minutely for the raid. 1t. was decided
to saunter out at o'clock in the morn
ing and demolish every joint in town.
Carrie Backed Out.
Suddenly, when everything seemed
satisfactorily arranged for terrific on
slaught, Mrs. Nation balked, began put
ting on her wraps and said she was 60
ing home. Instantly her followers were
in an uproar. Mingled with expressions
of surprise at her quick change of front,
soon came words of commendation. FL
nally, one woman, who had spent a
greater part of the day collecting hatch
cts and soliciting aid of the crusaders,
rushed to where Mrs. Nation stood in
the center of group, and, shaking her
fist in the Wichita woman's S face, shout
ed eXcitedly:
Called a Coward.
''You are a coward, Mrs Nation; you
are a coward
For moment Mrs. Nation lost con-
troll of herself
81 am not coward" she said, with
emphasis. 81 will go this moment with
any one woman and smash a Joint. y
A dozen voices were raised
'I'll gol I'll gop' and for moment
it looked as if an instant raid would re-
suit.
But Mrs. Nation, soon calming her
self, told the assembled women she was
tired, that the Lord did not wish her to
go tonight, and without further ado left
the room.
Made the Rounds.
While the women waited to wonder
at their leaders latest move, Mrs. Ma
ton, accompanied alone by the reporter
made the rounds of the joints to satisfy
herself that all were closed. The Joint
lists, apparently anticipating raid, had
closed and barricaded their doors, and
at midnight Mrs. Nation went to her
home.
During the evening Mrs. Nation was
questioned about her Chicago trip, which
had been planned for next week, but
she could tell nothing definite about it,
Il will go when the Lord directs me, )"
said she. "At present he wants me to
remain here.
She said, however, that she would go
to Kansas City today to fill her date
there. mot to smash" she said, ''but
simply to lecture. 3"
VIII She Give Up Smashing?
Some of the volunteer women of Mrs
Nations band of crusaders claim that a
temperance lecturer of Pittsburg, Pa,
has induced Mrs. Nation to give up
smashing and go to lecturing.
Mrs. Nation is expected to speak in
Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux City, Des
Moines and Chicago, and she refused
many other offers. So far, offers of
money have not deferred Mrs. Nation
from her determination to remain in
Kansas and work for prohibition.

HEAVY DECLINE IN
british INDUSTRY
Attributed Principally to
American Competition.
CRISIS IN METAL TRADES

Lamentable Lack of Thorough Tech
nical Education Among Engineers.
"The Outlook Is Appalling" De-
clares Scotch Newspaper.
WASHINGTON, June S-A report re-
ceived at the state department from
United States Consul Fleming at Edin-
burgh, Scotland, sets forth an alarming
decline in the metal industry Of Great
Britain, calls attention to the lamenta-
bic lack of thorough technical educa-
tlon among British engineers, and dis
cusses the mooted question as to whether
the heavy expectation of coal from
Great Britain should continue. To de-
scribe the difference in the condition of
the metal trades at the beginning and
at the end of the last year, says the
consul, would be to contrast enormous
activity and practical stagnation.
American Competition.
The depression is attributed in part to
fall in prices on metals all along the
line, but chiefly to offers of American
iron and steel at reduced prices, which,
the consul states, came upon the market
last autumn with crushing effect What
made the difficulty worse for British
producers, he continues, was that Ger
many, having bought largely from
America in the spring and summer. be-
came alarmed and resold in England at
reduced figures, also placing iron and
steel on the market in competition with
American manufacturers.
A Serious Problem.
As indicative Of the general acknowl-
dgement of the crisis in the metal trades,
Consul Fleming quotes from Edinburgh
papers, which state that "The iron and
steel trades have gone from us, - "The
outlook Is appalling" Foreign COM
petition is a most serious problem, and
other expressions of alarm at the out
look
The press in general, says Mr. FIem-
ing, blames the manufacturers for not
adopting the laborsaving machinery in
all branches of production where it can
be introduced, and blames the workmen
for their undisguised hostility to all la
borsaving devices.
