DEBATING ON CANTEEN
Senate Devotes Much Time to
Discussion of Post
Exchange.

Washington, Jan. 8-During the
legislative session of today the senate
had under consideration the much
mooted canteen question, in connec-
ton with the army reorganization
bill. The senate committee in effect
restored the provision for a post ex-
change, or canteen. which had been
stricken out Of the bill by the house.
For nehrly five hours the senate dis
cussed the committee amendment, but
a vote upon the proposition is not yet
in sight. Senators Gallinger and
Hasbrough vigorously opposed the
amendment and in turn it was quite
strenuously supported by Senators
Sewall, Hawley, Money and Carter.
Hansbrough, who has been recog-
nized as one of the leading opponents
in congress to the post exchange, made
an extended argument in opposition to
the committee amendment. He de-
; clared that the use of liquor degraded
the men and detracted from their use
fitness as soldiers and from their
morality as men. The sale of beer
in the canteen, he said, had been
shown, quoting from a letter from an
army officer, to be at. the bottom of
most Of the trouble and misery of the
soldier.
He hoped congress would signalize
the opening of the twentieth century
by wiping from the statute books
authorization Of the government sa.
loon
The senate committee on military
affairs today agreed to accept in a
modified form the amendment to the
army bill suggested yesterday by Sen
ator Hoar for the appointment of a
commission to investigate the effect
of the army canteen.

MORE ABOUT BRETH
Brother Tells of Dead Cadets
Experience at West
Point.

Philadelphia, Jan. 8-The congress
sional committee which is investigat-
ing the hazing of fourth class cadets
at West Point military academy re-
sumed the taking of testimony today.
Harry Broth Of Altoona, the older
brother of John Breth, whose death is
also under investigation, told of visit
he and his sister paid his brother at
West Point in August, 1897, a few
months after his admission to the
academy. John said he had been ex-
ercised until he was rendered uncon-
scious and was revived with whiskey.
Harry said that hazing had become
so severe that extra guards had been
put on duty and John said such pro-
ceeding was unusual.
When the cadet returned home, after
having been found deficient in certain
studies in 1898, he seemed unwell
and never was in good health after
that.

HOUSE ADOPTS BURLE|CHS PLA|
Senators from Several Large Northern States
Held Responsible for Defeat Of
the Hopkins Bill.

Washington. Jan. 8-By a vote of
1876 to 1O2 the house today accepted
the reapportionment plan proposed by
the Burleigh bill, which increases the
membership of the house during the
next decade from 375, the present
membership and the membership pro-
posed by the committee on the Hop
kins bill, to 1856.
The result was largely brought
about by the influence of certain sena-
tors from several of the larger north
ern states, who threw the weight of
their influence in the scale in favor of
the larger membership. When it be-
came apparent that these factors We're
at work against his bill, Hopkins at
tempted to compromise by giving an
additional representative, each, to
North Dakota Colorado and Florida,
but his adversaries refused to compro-
mise and their complete victory was
assured. A

NIT the bill for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what states abridged the right
to vote to an extent that would entail

UNITED STATES INTERESTED.
May Take Active Part in Colombian
Revolution.

Washington, Jan. 8-The consul at
Panama has notified the state depart
ment that the revolutionists are APP
preaching Panama and preparing for a
fight. The state department intends
protecting American interests and
carrying out the duties assumed by it's
treaty for protection Of the isthmus.
There is reason to believe that the
United States government will adopt
a vigorous line Of action in case the
city of Panama is attacked, or there
is any interruption Of the transit IA
cilities of the isthmus. Owing to a
treaty arrangement with Colombia
the United States was given a certain

When Consul General Gudger a few
months ago reported that the revolu-
%tionists would lombard the city Of
Panama Acting Secretary of State Hill
promptly sent a dispatch to Gudger
announcing in unusually vigorous
terms that this government would not
tolerate any action likely to prejudice
American interests or interfere with
the rights which this government had
assumed.

a reduced representation was defeated,
1870 to 10. There was no roll call on
this vote, but a number of republic
cans voted with the democrats.
By the bill as passed today no state
loses representatives and the follow
ing make gains: Illinois, New York,
and Texas three, each; Minnesota,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania two,
each, and Arkansas, California, Colo

consin one, each.
The bill provides that whenever a
new state is admitted the represent
alive assigned to it shall be in addition
to the number provided in the bill. 1t
also adds a provision, never hitherto
incorporated in a reapportionment bill,
to the effect that congressional dis
tricts in addition to being "contig-
uous'' shall also be compact" The
states which are allowed additional
representatives by the bill shall by its
terms elect them at large until the
legislatures redistrict the state.

DID NOT FIRE SHOT
But Juror Thinks Mrs. Richardson
Can Name Murderer Of
Husband.

Savannah, Mo-, jan. ga member
of the coroner's jury that yesterday
charged Mrs. Frank W. Richardson
with firing the shot that killed her
husband, or with knowledge of who did
fire it, is quoted as saying today:
"Not one of the jurors believes that
Mrs. Richardson fired iha shot that
killed her husband, and we did not
have this in mind wheu the verdict
was written. The jurors were agreed,
however, that she knows who did the
shooting. The suicide theory was
never tenable. The only question was
whether Richardson was in the
or in the hallway. If he was shot in
the ROOM, as the evidence indicates,
and as the jury believed, his widow
must have seen the person who fred
the shot"
A reporter called on Mrs. Richard
son at her home today. She said: II
have told my story and I cannot see
why you want TO talk about it any
more. I have told all l know and if
the people do not believe me I cannot
help it,"
evil you not tell who was with
you at the time your husband was
killed p"
II cannot tell you anything more
than I have told"
After refusing to answer repeated
questions, Mrs. Richardson said, II
positively cannot say more. It seems
rhe neonle shonld belleye what ]
have told them. Why can't they let
me alone. Before God I am innocent
of the charge against me.
"Your servant says that you told
her that when you started down town
Christmas evening you met a friend
and came back to the house with him.
Is that true % asked the reporter.
cts absolutely false" was the
reply.

Japanese Consul Looking into Coolie
Labor Troubles.

~. #s| r.
Butte, Mont, Jan. Six. Nichkara,
japanese consul at Vancouver, has
been sent to Montana to investigate
the Japanese troubles.
The labor unions have been making
a vigorous fight against Jap ooolie
labor and on several occasions gangs
of Japs have been set upon and
mobbed and assaulted. Nichkara said
that it is the intention Of his govern
ment to protect its people in this
country, although no more laborers
are permitted to come to the United
States. "The Japanese government"
said he, "always friendly to the
United States, decided that it's Ia
borers were not wanted in America
and consequently since August 40,
1900, no Jap laborers have been al
lowed to come to the United States"

May CHANGE SEAT
Negotiations at Pekin Likely
to Be Transferred to
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 8-The negotia-
tlons which have been pending for
some time relative to the removal
from Pekin of some of the substitutes
of the international negotiations, SO
that they could be taken up at Wash
ington, or at the capital of n of the
other powers, have now advanced to a
stage where there is promise Of a
satisfactory understanding among the
powers on this move. The plan orig
mated through the suggestion of Min
lister Conger, cabled about a week
ago, to the effect that there was little
prospect of securing united action on
the subject of indemnity and of the
new commercial treaties with China.
Conger suggested that better pro
gress in the negotiations was likely to
result if these two phases could be re-
moved from Pekin and taken up at
some point entirely removed from local
influences.
Minister Conger was heard from
today in a %cablegram to the state de-
partment. The text of the dispatch
was not given out, but it was made
known that in substance Conger son.
firmed recent press reports to the
effect that there was reason to believe
the empress dowager was exerting her
influence against the acceptance of
the demands submitted by the pow
ers. It is the feeling among the Off
cials here that the influence still
welded by the empress dowager
may lead to serious complications in
case she seeks to bring to a halt the
negotiations now pending.

TWENTY-SIX OF THEM ARE
CHILDREN.
ASYLUM BURNED
Attendants Sacrifice Their Lives
in Daring Efforts to
Rescue Charges.

Rochester, N. Y, Jan. 8-Twenty-
eight dead bodies lie at the morgue
and 10 others more or less seriously
injured lie at different hospitals to-
night as a result of the terrible holo-
caust which occurred early this morn
ing at the Rochester orphan asylum.
Of the dead, 26 were children Of
both sexes, ranging in age from 2 to
ID years, while the remaining two
were adults.
The fire, which was discovered at
1:1O a. M, and was doubtless caused
by an explosion of natural gas in the
boiler room adjoining the west wing
of the asylum, spread SO rapidly that
many Of the 100 inmates of the insti-
tuition were overcome by the flames
and smoke almost without warning.
In all the long and dismal records of
fatal fires in Rochester, zone can be
found which can equal this one in it's
great horror, in the pathetic scenes
in which SO many lives were blotted
out, in the gallant sacrifice Of the lives
of the attendants, in whose care the
children were, and in the sad scenes at
the hospitals and margue. That SO
many children were saved from the
burned wing of the building seems
little short Of miraculous and one
marvelled today that the death roll
was not even larger.
The scene Immediately after the
alarm and accompanying the explosion
was one that turned the %stoutest
hearts. The firemen, attendants and
policemen sought to release the chill
dren from their perilous position.
The dormitories were filled with
smoke from the fire and the little ones
were being slowly suffocated. Most
of those saved were lowered to the
ground by means of ladders from the
second and third floors. Ambulances
from every hospital in the city
reached the scene almost as soon as
the fire department, but they proved
totally inadequate in providing for
those rescued. Many sufferers and
dead were removed to houses in the
immediate neighborhood. There were
awful scenes around the asylum at his
time. Most OF those rescued from the
burned building were unconscious
from the effects of the smoke. It soon
became apparent that the building was
doomed.
A general alarm was sent in and the
entire fire department was soon or
the scene. The fire was stubbornly
fought from every available point,
but it was over an hour after its dis
covery before it was under control,
The loss is 800, 900.
