He argued at length In opposition to aE
increase in the membership OF the House
and produced records OF its business tS
demonstrate his declaration that ths
House even at its present size, is ineffi
cient in administration.
Mr.. Bingham of Pennsylvania ex-
pressed his opposition to the Hopkins bill
and his favor of the Burleigh bill. He
declared that the inefiicisnoy In the
administration of the business Of the
House was due in part to its size.
Mr.. Grosvenor Of Ohio declared he
would vote for smaller rather than a
larger house. II the Burleigh bill be-
came a law It would turn over % per cent
of the power OF the bSth Congress to the
cities of this country. and would strip
the rural districts OF thsir power.
AS the time approached for closing
general debate, the pressure for time In
creased. and several attempts were made
to extend the time. but Mr.. Hopkins de-
clined to give his consent.
Mr.. Otey OF Virginia euliyened the
debate with q characteristic speech.
Mr. Ball OF Colorado gave notice OF
an amendment which he would offer to
the Hopkins bill to assign an additional
representative to Colorado, North Dakota
and Florida.
MIR. Hopkins closed this general debate
with a speeoh, In which he sought to
meet and answer the criticisms OF the
opponents OF his bill He closed with
an eloquent appsal to members to vote,
not for what might be best for their own
districts or states. but for the best inter.
ests OF the whole country.
The bill was then read for amendment
under the five minute rule.
MIR. Burleigh OF Maine offered the first

substitute for the first section of the Hop
kins bill,
MIR. Spalding of North Dakota offered
an amendment to increase this member

from s57 to $50, and assigning the three
additional representatives to North Dako-
ia, Colorado ana Florida.
MIR. Wilson OF South Carolina opposed
the amendment, which he said was In

Washington, January s.--The State De-
partment received advices today from
Consul General Gudger at Panama, In
dicating that the Colombian revolution
had again assumed a serious aspect.
he states that the Colombian government
announces that tue reyolutionists are ap-
preaching Panama and are making prepa-
rations for fight which Ia likely to oc-
cur soon.
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 facilities OF
the isthmus. According to treaty ar
rangsmsnt with Colombia, the United
States has been given certain measure
OF protection over the peaceful conduct
OF this traffic across the isthmus.

Terrible Disaster Threatened Crew OF
Steamer Russia.

Marseilles, January s.-A terrible dis
aster threatens the mail steamer Russia,
from OTan, which stranded yesterday
ON the coast near the village of Fara-
han, during a violent storm, with 90
passengers and a crew Of 40 on board.
She has heeled to the starboard and the
waves are sweeping over her. Desperate
attempts to rescue her company by life
boats and steam tugs were made yester-
day and have been repeated today, but
thus far the rough seas have prevented
every effort. The wind is still blowing
a hurricane, with no signs OF abatement.
The latest despatch from tha lighthouse
keeper at Farahan describes the position
OF the steamer as hopeless. 1t is prob
able that the vessel and all on board Will
ps rish.

story OF the Passage of the Reappor-
tIonment Bill.
Washington, January s.-By vote OF
165 to 102, the House today accepted the
re-apportionment plan proposed by the
BurIeigh bill, which increases the mem
bership OF the House during the next de-
cade from 357, the present membership.
and the membership proposed by the
committee, or Hopkins bill, to SS6.
The result was largely brought about
by the influence of certain senators from
several OF the larger northern states, who
threw the weight of their influence into
the scale In favor of the larger member
ship.
When it became apparent that these
factors were at work against his bill. Mr..
Hopkins attempted to compromise by
giving an additional representative each
10 North Dakota. Colorado and Florida.
but his adversaries refused to oompro.
mise after complete victory was assured.
Under the bill as passed today, no state
loses q representative, and the following
make gains Illinois, New York and
Texas, three each; Minnesota, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, two each
and Arkansas, California, COLORADO. Con-
necticut, Florida, Louisiana, Massachu-
setts, Mississippi, Missouri, North Caro-
lima, North Dakota, Washington, West

The bill provides that whenever a new
state is admitted the representative as

number provided in the bill 1t also adds
a provision never bitherto Incorporated

that congressional districts In addition to

the House to order today. After some
routine business had been transacted, the
debate upon the re apportionment bill
was resumed. MIR. DalzelI Of Pennsylva-

MORE HOPEFUL.

vices received by the state department
from Minister Loomis, in Venezuela,
gave the situation there mora hopeful
aspect. The minister has oabled that

to be completely suppressed. The DEPART

the powers. The plan originated throuei
a suggestion Of Minister ConEer, canie1
about q week ago. TO the effect that there
was little prospect OF securing united
action on she sabisct OF indemnity and
OF new commercial treaties with China.
Mr.. Congsr suggested that better pro-
gress In the negotiations were likely to
result n these two phases could be tax
en- mp at some point entirely removed
from local influences.
Mr.. Conger's idea met with favorable
consideration here and the suggestion
was made to the other powers interested
in China that the matter Of Chinese In
demnity and OF commercial treaties be
taken up at Washington or at one OF the
other capitals. The Stats Department
has already received indications as TO
the general feeling Of some OF the powers
on this proposition. There appears to
be no reason to anticipate serious oppo-
sition to the transfer as most OF the
powers have appreciated the obstacles at
Pskin In the way of an agreement on the
two subjects OF indemnity and CONNER
cisl treaties. Minister Conger was heard
from today In cablegram to the State
Department.. The text Of the despatch
was not given ont, but 1t was made
known that, In substance, Mr.. Conger
confirmed 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 powers. 1t Ia
the feeling among officials here that
the influence still welded by the En-
press Dowager may lead TO serious CON-
q halt the negotiations now pending.
The powers by stating their demands TO
be irrevooable, made them practically
an uitimatum and while a refusal to
sign by China would not result In q
declaration OF war to enforce the 1e-
mands, there would be q prolonged oocu-
pancy Of Pekin and this might lead to
fresh complications threatening to the
integrity of the Chinese Empire.
GERMANY NOT INFORMED.
Berlin, January 81 The German for
eign Office has received no information
that the United States and Russia desire
a transfer Of the Pekin negotiations to
Washington, but United States Ambassa-
dor White conferred this afternoon with
baron Won Richthofen, secretary Of stats
for foreign affairs, and 1t is possible that
Secretary Hays suggestion was the sub
jeot OF their conversation.
ENGLAND Is WILLING.
London, January s.-Mr. Choate had
an interview regarding the Chinese sit
uation with Lord Lansdowne at the for
eign Office today, but little headway was
made. Great Britain has not yet replied
to the circular of the United States gov
ernment inviting the powers to confer in
Warrington. The Associated Press is
authorized 60 say that she Ia willing to
agree to the proposal II the other powers
will also agree.
