WASHINGTON, Jan 9.-Attorney Gen
eral Douglas and his helpers, Mum and
Wilson, called on the president today.
They were alone. They did not even tell
the senators and representatives from
Minnesota that they were going or
wanted to 60 This is an unusual proceed
ing, as it is customary for strangers to
be presented to the president by some
member of congress.
Members and senators were consideTa-
bly, surprised when they heard later in
the day that the "mergerites," as they
are called here, had been to the White
house, but they were not particularly
displeased. They set it down to a de-
sire on the part of the lawyers to lend
mystery to their performance.
After the interview Lawyer Mum
started for home. Lawyer Wilson viii
start tomorrow. Douglas viii stay until
the supreme court passes on his motion
and grants or refuses the privilege of
filing the bill.
1t is learned from a trustworthy source
that nothing of great moment took place
at the White house interview. It was
another performance of the glad-hand
order. Roosevelt told the gentlemen he
was tickled to death to see them; the
Northwest was a great country; that he
would ike TO come up anu SIlOOL prairie
chickens some time; that he had watched
their movements with interest, and that
he hoped they would come and see him
often.
Douglas Great Hunter.
one Of the party conhded to Roosevelt
that Douglas was himself a mighty MIN
rod. whereupon the president fell upon
him and almost wept on his neck. The
conversation drifted from railroads to
bears and bobcats. It is understood on
the best authority that neither the presi-
dent nor the department of justice viii
do anything but look on. They viii act
as disinterested spectators, applauding
from time to time If there is any oc-
casion.
The lawyers are beginning to realize
that they may die Of old age before they
have any results to show for their cru
sade. 1t is now quite evident that Sney
cannot hope for any decision Of their
case before next fall even should they
get it then. 1t viii be week or two

LOREN FLETCHER AND VIRGINIA
DEMOCRAT ALONE VOTED
AGAINST 1T
ALL AMENDMENTS DEFEATED
Territory and the Secretary If
War Is to Have Charge OF
Digging th'. Ditch.
TOTAL COST TO BE $50, ,0oO 900

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Hepburn
Nicaraguan canal bill passed the house
late this afternoon by practically a
unanimous vote. Only two members out
OF $40 voted against it. Messrs. Fletcher
tRep., Minn.) and Lassiter Dem, Na.)
were the two voting in the negative.
The opposition to committing the gov
ernment to the Nicaraguan route at
tempted to secure amendments to lodge
with the president the discretionary pow
er to purchase and complete the Panama
canal, if 1t could be purchased for S40,-
O0G,G0O The test came on the first vote,
when the advocates Of an alternative
route pOlled 102 against 10 votes. AT each
succeeding vote their strength dwlndled
until Air. Cannon, of Illinois, under whose
leadership the fight was made, was IN
able TO get the ayes and noes on motion
to recOmmit. All other amendments fail
ed and the bill passed exactly as il came
from the committee. None OF the votes
except that on the final passage OF the
bin was a record vote.
The debate which preceded the taking of
the final vote was made memorable by a
clash between Mr.. Hepburn, the author
of the bill, and Mr.. Cannon, chairman Of
the appropriation committee.
Provisions OF the Bill.
The bill as passed today authorizes the
president to secure from the states Of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua in behalf OF
the United States, control Of such Z poT-
ton Of the territory belonging to said
states as may be desirable and necessary

pect a canal suitable TO the wants Of
modern navigation and commerce, and
appropriate such a sum as may be neces-
saIy to secure the control of said terri
tory.
Section two authorizes the president,
after securing control of the needed ter
ritory, to direct the secretary Of war to
construct such canal from the Caribbean
sea, at q point near GTeytOWn, in Nicara-
gut TO a point on the Pacific ocean, near
Brito, and also to construct proper ha1-
bors at the terminal Of said canal and to
make necessary provisions for the defense
Of the canal and barbOrs.
Sections 8 and authorize the president
to make such surveys as may be neces-
sary. and to employ such persons in con-
structiug the canal as may to him seem
wise, and direct that in the construction
Of the canal the river San Juan and
Lake Nicaragua shall be used as far as
they are available
Section 5 authorizes the president to
guarantee to the states Of Costa Rica and
Nicaragua the use Of the canal and har-
bors upon terms to be agreed upon, foE
al NeSSels owned OS 9a4u St0tsS anu OS
citizens thereof.
The last section makes present ap-
preparation of Sl0,000,000 to carry on this
work and authorizes the secretary of war
to enter into such contracts for material
and work as may be deemed necessary
therefor. such work and material to be

TELEPHONES ON CARS
SUCCESSFUL TEST OF A NEW IN
VENTI0N
Folks TRAY cling on Street Cars WiI
BE Able to Hold Conversation
as They Move Along
Their Way.

MUsKEGON. Mich. Jan. SC. 2. Bid
well. Of Toledo, Ohio, gave today the
first practical demonstration of his IA
theirs invention Of a telephone system
by which it is possible 10 call up and
talk from an electric car going at full
speed with anyone who is located in an
other car on the same line running in
any direction and at any distance.
The system IS applicable to either steam
or electric roads. The overhead troAey
IS used for one side Of the circuit and
for the other a second wire is Strung
parallel with the stationary trolley. The
metal trolley pole of the car is attached
to a second pole which operates on the
additional wire by means Of a fansed
wheel. a clod circuit is thus obtained.
Telephone wires are attached to each Of
the two trolley poles which lead to the
telephone in the car. The heavy voltage
required to operate the electric cars is
reduced to that used for telephone serv-
ice by a special invention. Ordinary tel
ephones were used.

only last August. Before that he was a

BITTER STRIKE ENDED.
GARMENT CUTTERS GET A SHoRy-
Err WORK DAY.

NEW YORK, July "A virtual settle
ment Of the bitter struggle for shorter
hours, which has been waged between
the garment cutters and the clothing
manufacturers of the United States for
months, was reached today. The cues
tion involved about 40,O0O men in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago. ST
Louis, Cincinnati. Syracuse. Uticz,
Rochester and Baltimore The settle
ment was reached through the medium
Of the committee Of thirty-six appoint
ed by the recent conference Of the ma
tional civic federation in this city.
President Marks receded from his de-
mands for a nine-hour day, but sought
a reduction of the time to eight and one
half hours To this Secretary White,
of the garment cutters, agreed. 1t is
understood that the garment workers
will continue efforts to secure an eight
hour day, but that they will abandon
all ideas of striking.

New York World Credits Mime
sofa With SeVenty-Nine Pluto
crats-NeW York's List.

There are just .seventy-nine people in
Minnesota who must shudder every time
they glance at the eye of needle Not
that these seventy-nine people are tail
ors or seamstresses. On the contrary,
indeed, In the almanac just issued by
the New York World for the year 1862,
their names are given as the millionaires
of the North Star state. Now it is not
probable that a single millionaire would
be abe to stand the needle test that is
one of the qualifications for future bliss.
But doubtless the millionaire is hard
ened. Perhaps he looks upon the needle
theory as an exploded one. At any
rate it is probable that he has some
means Of comforting his soul while he
hugs tightly his sheke's. 1t is only the
plain, ordinary, so-much-per-m month pe0-
pie who take any comfort out of the
needle theory, after all, and it is a
rather satisfactory comfort too.
The World does not confne its list of
millionaiTes to Minnesota Indeed. it
includes every state in the union, New
York leading off with 1,075, and North
Dakota bringing up a modest rear with
enc solitary plutocrat.
Naturally the information in regard to
the number of n1ilIionaires as given in
the recently issued almanac, must be ap-
proximate. Doubtless there are MANY
who deserve a place in prosperity's roll
Of honor whose names are conspicuous
only because Of their absence. Doubtless,
too, there are a number of names given.
whose fortunes fall very far short Of the
million d-llar mark, and others are
dead. But in spite of inaccuracies the
list is certainly an interesting one. Es-
pecially should the Minnesota list be in
teresting to Minnesota people. St. Paul
alone is the proud possessor OF, twenty
three millionaires, Minneapolis forty

DOWAGER is DARING

CHINESE DYNASTY.

PEKIN, Jan. 9.-The dowager empress
of China asserted her complete supremacy
today by granting an audience in the
most sacred han in the Forbidden City.
The rules Of the dynasty forbid women
from entering this hall, and the dowager
empress has never before violated its
sanctity.
The emperor will receive the foreign
diplomats in this hall. Officials believe
the dowager empress to be paving the
way to be present upon this occasion in
order to prevent any communication be-
tween the diplomats and the emperor, ex-
cept under her censorship.
