CARNIVAL OF LIGHT.
Frisco Arranging to Dazzle the Visit
inc Multitude.

San Francisco, June 21.-The street
Examinations of San Francisco during
the national gathering of Pythians
are to be on such a magnificent scale
as to eclipse those of any city in the
world. The estimated cost will reach
100000 or more, and all will be under
the supervision of the city depart
ment of electricity. Instead of mere
ly stretching strings of light across
the streets, it is intended to group
the lighting in seventeen courts of
honor at certain intervals along the
principal thoroughfares. Each court
will contain 2,720 incandescent lamps
in addition to the street illumination
on Market street, which alone will
carry $40 lights. The insignia of
the order, made of vari-colored globes,
will be feature of each court. The
grand court of honor, which will be
Geary, Kearney and Third streets, is
to contain several thousands of lights,
one large emblem reaching from the
grand court to the tall buildings near
by.
Altogether, this westward pilgrim
age of the Knights, August 18th to
goth, promises to be an event in MS.
tory. Inquiries indicate that over
100000 people will then take ad-
vantage of the low rates.

RECIPROCITY VS..
BEET SUGAR
DISCUSSED BY SENATORS AT
THREE HOURS CONFERENCE.
Ohioan Makes imprisoned Plea to
Party Colleagues to Get Together
in Support of Beet Sugar-Hanna
for Reciprocity-Says Aid to Cuba
is Moral Question.

Washington, June 21.-The repub-
ence yesterday on the question of
Cuban reciprocity and after three
hours discussion adjourned subject
to the call of Chairman Allison with
out action. There were eight or nine
speeches in support of reciprocity.
and only two were in opposition to
that policy. This was in accord with
a previous understanding that as the
beet sugar senators had monopolized
the attention of the conference We'd
nesday night their opponents should
have the greater share of time.
The speeches in support of reel
procity were by Senators Foraker,
Beveridge, Lodge, Hale, Warren, Aid
rich, McComas, Hanna and Platt of
Connecticut. Speeches in opposition
to the proposed legislation were by
Senators Burton and Burrows. The
the same general line and without ex-
ception were pleas for legislation
and for party harmony.
Senator Foraker opened with an
appeal to his party colleagues to get
together in support of this measure
which had, he said, become a party
question, having been made so by
the attitude, not only of the present
chief magistrate, but by that of his
honored predecessor. He said with
some appearance Of feeling that men
could not be with the party at one
time and against it at another and
maintain their prestige.
Senator Hanna, closing for the
reciprocity side, spoke of the ques-
ton of extending proper aid to Cuba
as a moral question, saying our obi
cations to the Cuban people were
such that we would not be true to
ourselves as a nation if we should
fail to give them an encouraging
hand at the beginning of their
national career. He referred to
! McKinley's attitude on this subject
and quoted the presidents Buffalo
speech as making it imperative on
this government to enter into proper
reciprocal relation with Cuba.
The meeting had almost concluded
when Senator Burton of Kansas took
the floor and made brief but impas-
stoned and eloquent speech in sup
port and defense of the attitude of
the beet sugar republicans. Senator
Burrows spoke briefly, and his re-
marks were entirely in reply to Han
mas reference to McKinley's Buffalo
speech. Senator Burrows produced
copy of that speech and read ex-
tracts from it for the purpose of
showing that the beet sugar senators
are in accord with McKinley's posi-
tionas outlined in that speech. He
also quoted the last annual message
of President Roosevelt, saying the
beet sugar men were in accord with
the presidents position as there out
lined.
1t is generally believed another
meeting will occur some time next
week.

debate with sa earnest appeal for
adoption Of the Nicaragua route. Ee
had been preceded by Senator Clark
OF Montana in support of the
Nicaragua route and Senator Allison
OF Iowa in support of the Spooner
proposition. The Spooner amendment
provides that the president shall de-
termine wheLner a clear title can %
obtained of the Panama company
property, rights and concessions. If
he shall be satisfied that such title
can be obtained he shall purchase
that for $40,000,000. If, in his
opinion, a clear title cannot be OBJ
tanned he shall proceed to construct
the canal by the Nicaragua route.
The bill further provides that a corr
mission of seven shall be appointed
by the president to supervise the
work and make arrangement for all
details of it. 1t also provides that
gold bonds of $3.50, 1000, 300 bearing 2
per cent. shall be issued to raise
money with which to construct the
canal.
The opening day of the debate or
the Philippine government bill in tn :
house was signalized by an ex-
hauStive speech of Mr.. Cooper of
Wisconsin, chairman of the COM
mittee on insular affairs. He spoke
three hours and lis speech was q
general defense of the policy of the
administration and drew repeated a.
plause from his side of the house. He
contended that the problem of the
Philippines should not be a party
question, that both political parties
brought on the war with Spain and
the votes of the members of both
parties ratified the treaty which made
the islands American territory The
most telling portion of his speech was
the parallel he drew between the
present attitude of the opposition and
the attituue of the opposition during
and Immediately succeeding the civil
war. Mr.. Jones of Virginia, ranking
| member of the minority COMMITTEES,
made an able presentation of the
democratic position.
Washington, June 21.-The debate
on the Philippine civil government
bill continued yesterday in the house
! from IL a. m. to 5 p. m. and at a ses-
/ sion held last night The speakers
were given close attention, each side
enthusiastically applauding it's respec-
tive ortoTs. The isthmian canal bill
was sent to conference after the sen.
ate amendment had been non-concur
red in. The house ritratd the position ii
had taken on the army appropriation
| bill by ignoring the action of the SEN
ate and sending the bill back to the
senate after voting to adhere to its
disagreement to the Objectionable
army post amendments. Two
conferences reached partial
agreement on the amendments to the
sundry civil appropriation bill made
by the senate. The reductions
amounted to $1,210,2S6.
No business of Importance was
| transacted by the senate in open
session except to agree to the con
ference report finally disposing of the
military academy appropriation bill
Soon after the disposition OF
routine business the senate went into
executive session and at 10 p. m
adjourned until Monday. By a
vote of IA to u the senate

Washington, June 16.-After a dis
cussion extending over parts of sever
al days the senate passed the Lon
don dock charges bill. Opposition to
the measure practically collapsed and
it was passed without division. Con-
slderation then was continued of the
isthmian canal project. Senators Gull
lom of Illinois and Kittredge of South
Dakota delivering speeches advocat-
ing the Panama route. The former
based his argument on the report of
the isthmian commission, recommend
ing that route, and asserting that he
was satisfied that good title could
be obtained. Mr.. Kittredge attacked
the Nicaragua plan as lacking in def
niteness. He pointed out that Costa
RIGA was constitutiona11y unable to
grant the necessary concessions to the
United States and said if the
Nicaragua route were selected it
probably would be a long time before
work could begin, even if it ever could
be. A spirited discussion was pre-
clpitated over a motion by Senator
Proctor of Vermont to agree with the
house on the army appropriation bill
Several weeks ago the senate was az
frOnted by message from the house.
