SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1901.
A NEEDED AMENDMENT.

Representative Fitzpatrick's bill de-
claring navlgable all streams of suf-
ficient capacity to transport logs,
timber and lumber, failed in the house
by close vote. The bill was meant
to amend section $3.50 of the political
code by striking out the last sentence,
namely: But the capacity of a
stream to float logs, timber or lum-
Der alone is not sufficient to make
such a stream navigable or public
way" The purpose Of the amend
ment was to enable loggers to use
certain streams for the purpose of
floating logs to the mills. Under the
present law there are many streams
where they may not do this if the
owners of the land through which
such streams pass have mind 20
object. The navigable streams of a
state are public highways, and are
for the use of the people of the
state. Any unauthorized OBJ
struction, or interference with these
streams by a private individual is a
public nuisance, which may be en-
Joined upon application of the attor-
ney general in the name of the peo-
pie of the state. The capacity of a
stream to float logs has given rise to
some difference of opinion among
the courts in determining whether
such streams are navigable or not,
but the Montana code takes the view
that they are not and distinctly so
states. Section 257O of the politi-
cal code states that "navigable waters
and all streams of sufficient capacity
to transport the products of the coun-
try are public ways for the purposes
of navigation, and such transporta-
tion," and then Immediately proceeds
to discriminate against the lumber in
dustry by adding the proviso quoted
above.
1t seems to be the general under
standing that the present law is going
to cause great inconvenience in this
county, and doubtless no little liti-
cation. Just how the use of stream
for the floating of logs will interfere
with the rights of anybody else IS
not quite clear, and it would be inter-
esting to know the nature of the OBJ
jections urged against the proposed
amendment by those who opposed it.
AS the law now stands stream not
navigable within the meaning of the
statute, may be INSTRUCTED without
offense to the law and in such a way
as to render it useless for the pur-
pose of driving logs.
1t has been held that if stream is
navigable for pleasure boating, it
must be regarded as navigable
stream within the meaning of the
law. Thus, farmer might load a
row boat with garden truck and take
1T to market by way of certain
stream without hindrance or OBJ
struction, but the lumberman who un-
dertook to float his produce in the
form of logs down a stream not prac.
ticable or safe for rowboat, would
be liable to prosecution as a trespass-
err.
The proposition appears neither rea-
sonable, just, nor in the interests of
public policy.

way last Saturday to take a fling at
the Herald-Journal, and made SLAM
derOus reference to honest men and
blacksmiths over the shoulders of Mr.
GoshOrn. We are of the opinion that
if Judge Nash should go out to hunt
an honest man or a competent black
smith he would not look for either in
the editorial department of the Bee
Then it is the belief of everyone
backed by circumstantial evidence in
which there is not a missing link that
the machinery of the Bee is fabricated
with Standard OIL"
The Bee had no intention of sland-
ering honest men and blacksmiths"
when it suggested that the Col. CO."
is an honest man and the Herald
Journal Office blacksmith shop, but
since the Herald-Journal insists that
honest men and blacksmlth's were
slandered by the comparison, the Bee
feels obliged to accept the "Col.'s( p"
confession in good faith, and apolo-
gise to honest men and blacksmiths.'
Hereafter there need be no doubt
about the Herald-Jolrnal or it's edi-
tor. 1t has confessed that so far
from being place where the art pre-
sentative is creditably exemplifed, it's
Office is not even worthy to be men
toned in the same category with
blacksmith shcps--in fact, that to do
so would be i SANDER blacksmiths.
And as for its editor being IN honest
man, well, the Bee intimatcd he was
such, and we have his own word for
it that such an intimation is a Islander
upon honest mea That's pretty bad
"a great deal worse than Tie Bee
would ever have thought of making
it The Col. .?D' must have been
attending the revival meetings, that
he is moved to make such confess
sion. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
tnct his is coca where confession and
repentance precede reformation.
The Herald-Journal has given an
example of candor that is contagious.
The Bee, too, has caught the nlalady
and feels impelIei to own up that The
Herald-Journal's accusation that the
machinery of the Bee is fabricated
with Standard Oil is true-strintly
true. Some ten or fifteen gallons of
the very best kerosene made by the
Standard Oil company is used in this
Office every week. And what is
worse, the Bee pays the Standard Oil
price for the kerosene, and we've got
the stubs to show for it.
So we trust the matter is settled.
The Bee will take care not t. again
SANDER honest men and black
smiths" by intimating that the Her.
aid journal office is blacksmith shop
and ITS editor an hone st man, ar! 1t
is to be hoped that hereafter the
Col ca" will not feel compelled to
depend on circumstantial evidence to
support the charge that the machin-
cry of this Office is fabricated with
Standard Oil. The charge is CON
fessed.

PRESIDENT HAYS
Of Southern Pacific Assumes Duties of
 His Office.

Galveston, Tex, January 1.-Charles M
 Hays, the new president of the Southern Pacific, spent the first day of his employ ment with the company in making an in- spection of its terminals at Galveston and in viewing and studying the harbor and port facilities While MT. Hays did not go into any elaborate statement of what the Southern Pacific would do at Calves ton, he did not hesitate to say that he found the company's property and the fa- cilfties of the port to exceed his expecta- tions. The development begun here, he said, would as speedily possible be fin- ished. MT. Hays says he will spend a great deal of time on the road. He Is in- terested that steps should he taken for the protection of thesz city from storms.
 and he promises to cooperate with the people of Galveston to this end. As soon as he gets settled in San Francisco he ex- poets to start out on trip to inspect all the lines of the Southern Pacific system.

THE HOPKINS REAPPORT|ONMENT
 BILL MAY BE DEFEATED IN SENATE

Washington, January 1.-(SpeciaL)-It does not seem likely that the Hopkins re- apportionment bill which provides for 357 members of the House of Representatives the present number-will become a law. Representative Hopkins and the support CTS of the bill are very confident that they will succeed in passing 1t through the House very shortly after that body reas- sembles On the contrary Representative Burleigh and the other opponents of the measure insist that the Hopkins bill can not secure a majority in the House. As far as the House Is concerned the fight seems to be very close, with the chances, perhaps. favoring the Hopkins bill a lit- tie.
 The real difficulty that the bill will meet should 1t pass the House will be in the Senate. It must be remembered that it reduces the representation of eight States in the House, viz: Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia That means that sixteen members of the Senate will be unalterably opposed to the Hopkins bill. These are almost all men of great infiu- ence in the Senate. There are Fairbanks and Beveridge of Indiana, Baker and Har- ris of Kansas. Lindsay and DeSvs or t&en- lucky. Frye and Hale of Maine, Thurston and Allen of Nebraska, Foraker and Hanna sbf Ohio, Tillman and McLaurin of South Carolina and Daniel and Martin of Virginia. It is not conceivable that these men, active. aggressive and influential, will sit quietly by and see their States lose in ,1c cfr In tbo all college. Take Maine, for instance. Frye Is president pro tenn of the committee cu na- val affairs and an important memSer of the committee on appropriations. ~fhen take Ohio.

THE NEW YEAR IN
 THE PHILIPPINES
General MacArthur's Reception Compared With Presidents.
 \ Notable Occasion

Manila. January Tiff President Mc1lin- ley's Nesst Years reception proves greater than that of General MacArthur, it will not be the fault of the people of Manila.
 This reception was the first official social function at which the Americans and Fill pinos have mingled in a social way. For three hours a stream of vehicles wound through the grounds of the governor-gen- erals residence and discharged their call ers-official and civilian-most of them na- tives though there was sprinkling of foreigners.
 The American flag and branches of Npa flowers and vines predominated in the decorations throughout the mansion.
 Admiral Remey received the callers by the side of General acArthur, and the wives of several generals assisted.
 Introductions were made by General MacArthur's staff, assisted by members of the staff of Admiral Remey. The callers after having been introduced passed out upon 0 broad balcony overhanging the Pasig river and majority of them lin-

relations committee. Hanna is chairman of the Republican National Committed Then there is Kentucky. Lindsay is chair man of the committee on revolutionary claims and a leading member of the judic- iary committee. Deboe is chairman of the committee on Indian depredations and has @ considerable following.
 In. Nebraska Thurston is chairman of the committee on Indian affairs and on the judiciary committee, whiIe Allen Is an ag- gressive. determined man with remarka- ble capacity as a flibuster. In South Car olina there is Tillman, another filibuster with an iron will and knowledge of every method to impede legislation, while Daniel of Virginia is one of the leading Demo- crats and a man of wide influence.
 The estimate of men certain to oppose the Hopkins bill should it go to the Sen- ate does not include men whose states would gain if the membership of the House were increased. They would increase the number of Senatorial opponents to twenty four or more Then there is a political side. Should Nebraska be reduced and that state would have to lose if the House were to number less than 3S, the Bur liegh bill provides. That state has just gone Republican and a reduction in its representation would probably turn it over to the fusionists again, something the Re- publicans do not #3spt by any means.
 .Ihis is the short Congressional session. A few determined men, with the capacity for fiiibustering can simply announce that they will not permit the Hopkins bill to come to a vote in the Senate and 1t is done for, because it is imperative that this Congress should reapportion the Congress sioEal membership in accordance with the census returns. In view of this there does not at present, at least, seem to be any possibility of a reapportionment bill pass ing that does not increase the House mem- bership. and that means at least 3S7 mem- bers That will make 1t difficult to seat them all in the present house. but 1t is said that by squeezing the desks a dittle closer together room for thirty additional -Gongressmen can be made, and possibly for enough more to seat four houndred.

Congress Has Lots of Work on It's . Hands.

Washinton, January 1.-(Special.) )-Con. gress will again be in session on Thursday and for two months and day will be fullJ occupied in completing it's work by noon ot March 4. The Senate will be ready to takt up an appropriation bill the army en- largement bill,, while the shipping subsidy bill Is the unfinished business. The House before the recess passed the army enlarge- ment bill, the revenue reduction bill, the oleomargarine bill, and five appropriation bills-the legislative, urgency deficiency, pensions, military academy and Indian. That was an exceptional amount of work to have accomplished before Christmas. Sew eral appropriation bills, including the im- portant one for rivers and harbors will be ready for consideration immediately, while the reapportionment bill will demand im- mediate attention.

FIVE THOUSAND
Boers Are Now in the Western Part of
 Cape Colony.

London, January 2.-The Capetown cor- respondent of the Daily Mail, which dwells upon the gravity of the position in Cape Colony, says:
 "The Boer invaders now number 5000. The western invasion gives the most concern. It has split into two divisions which are marching like the prongs of fork, one by way of Southerland toward Malmesbury and. the other toward Beaufort West
 "The enemy is now ranging over im- mense tracts of territory necessitating the employment of an army corps to deal with them. Lord Kitchener has poured trocns- into the districts disturbed; but the fugi- tive tactiees of the Boers have, to a large extent neutralized his precautions.
 Tt was felt that the only means of ex- cluding the invaders from the rich dis- tricts in the western part of the colony was to call out the farmers. The's telegrams promise splendid response from the east ern portion, but the western is doubtful not thirty percent of the population being regarded as loyal Hence, the Boer con- centration in that direction.
 Letters are arriving here detailing dam- age and robbery by the invaders and be- seeching military assistance. Any action on the part of the colony will not abate tho urgent need of large endorsements"

DEFENDS THE CONSTITUTION
General Harrison Says the Makers
 Were Wise Men.

Indianapolis, January 1.-At the Columbia Club banquet last night, General Harrison was the last speaker of the evening. He responded to the sentiment Hail Colum- bia." He had furnished in advance copies of his speech, but included the following par agraphs which were not included in the advance copy:
 Tt hasSeen recently said that our fath- CTS organized a msshapen nation, if these Limitations and reservations apply to all lands that become part of our public do- main and to all peoples whose allegiance we accept. Now, whatever the professors or aesthetics may tell us about beauty in the abstract, we know that in nature and mechanics and in formative statecraft, shape has chiefly to do with an intended use. That which perfectly accomplshes the designed use is not misshaped- Orators are misshapen eagles, as all of us have found when we tried to soar, and so before we condemn our constitution as misshapen, 1T 1t carries its general Limitations and its reservations of personal rights to all lands over which it's sway extends, and to all people who owe allegiance to the govern ment it organizes we must assume that the men of 1776 and of 1787 contemplated the governing of lands and people with that ab- solutism against which with so much cost and care they had defended themselves. That is to beg the question: But 1t is not my purpose to press upon you my views upon the great constitutional question. Though many of you may hold another view, I do not doubt that the Republican liberty to differ upon constitutional question survives in the Columbia Club"

CHINA READY AND

Ii Hung Chang Says That Emperor is Desirous of Promoting Peace.
 Von Ketteler Avenged.

Pekin December 31.-A meeting of the foreign ministers will be held as soon as Sir Mason Satow, the British minister, who Is suffering from chills and fever, shall have recovered sufficiently to be present and when a date and place for meeting the Chinese commissioners shall have been agreed uoon.
 A representative of the Associated Press today had personal interview with Li Hung ChangS who shows plainly physical evidence of his recent illness, but whose mind has not been affected by his sickness and is as vigorous ever. In the course of his conversation with the correspond ent, the Earl said he should prefer to meet the ministers and commissioners at his house. if such arrangement were possi- ble, on account of the condition of his health but would not under the circum- stances make suggestions.
 He said also that the Emperor is desir- ous of complying in all particulars with the demands of the powers. On the other hand, he thinks the powers should order a cessation of the frequent irritating expedi- tions, which he looks upon as unnecessary and as doing deal of harm It will be quite possibie now, he says, to maintain complete order in the province with the assistance of a small number of Chinese troops and he hopes the powers will agree to keep as at present the troops now sta toned at Pekin and Tien Tsin and along the railway.
 The Emperor, Lii Hung Chang asserts, is willing 10 punish all those named by the powers by banishment to the furthest part of the Chinese dominions on the northwest
