FULL TEXT OF THE
 RICHARDSON RESOLUTION.

Washington, January 31.-The resolution which Representative Richardson pre- sented in the House today and which Speaker Henderson held was not priviieg- ed after reciting the pendency before the Senate of numerous treaties proposing commercial reciprocity with other nations by which customs revenue duties will be changed from those established by acts of Congress, says:
 Resolved That 1t is the sense of this House that the negotiations of the execu- tive or a commercial treaty whereby rates of duty imposed on goods entering the United States should be fixed. would in view of the provision of section z, article l of the constitution be an infraction of the constitution and an invasion of one of the highest prerogatives of the House of Representatives.

Underwood Opposed It.

MT. Underwood Alabama, was opposed to the proposed legislation, and declared that its opponents should begin the fight now on the adoption of the special or der.
 MT. Grosvenor Ohio, also declared him self uncompromisingly opposed to the pro posed legislation and all kindred legisla- tion The special order was adopted lS2 to T
 MT. Richardson, Tennessee, presented as a matter of privilege his resolution de- claring 1t to be the sense of the House that reciprocity tariff treaties and bills invaded one of the highest prerogatives of the House.
 MT. Payne, the majority floor leader, made the point of order that the resolu- ton was not privileged. He cont ended that until the Senate actually sent to the House a bill or negotiated a treaty which invaded the rights of the House, nothing had been done which constituted a matter of privilege here. MT. Payne incidentally declared he agreed with MT, Richardson that the Senate could not invade the priv ileges of the House.
 Was Merely a Threat.
 Speaker Henderson4called MT. Richard sons attention to the fact that a threat to infringe was not an infringement. MT. Richardson urged strongly that 1t was time to meet the issue The claim was being set up on the floor of the Senate that certain things could be done. Was the House to wait until treaty had a">- ually been negotiated in which tariff rates fixed by Congress were uprooted?
 Would such a declaration control the Senate or any of Its members? asked MT Jenkins Republican, of Wisconsin.
 Perhaps not" replied MT. Richardson, but we should assert our position"
 Mir Tawney Republican, of Minnesota argued that more would be accomplished by allowing the ways and means com mittee to report upon his resolution, af ter due investigation of the law, than by the adoption of simple declaration now.
 Speaker Henderson pointed out that MT Richardson's resolution did not con- tain a single averment that there had been an actual assault on the rights of the House. and ruled that the resolution was no. privileged. In doing so he called attention to the fact that Under the threat of such invasion the House today had taken action to investigate the sub ject, that it might be qualified and equipped with argument if the issue were presented later
 MT. Fitzgerald of New York called up his resolution 10 call upon the Secretary of the Interior to transmit to the House all orders issued and regulations promul- gsted by him or any of hls subordinates regarding the issuing to or withholding rations from Indians. together with such reports and documents in his office re- lating thereto, and 1t was adopted. The resolution is designed to ascertain the truth of current reports regarding orders issued by Commissioner Browning rela- tive to Indian children who do not attend government schools.
 The House then passed five private claim bills of western New York interest and at 4:10 D. m. adjourned.

Pleaded for Stable Government.

MT. Morgan pleaded for a government in the Philippines which could be pre- pared at all times to meet emergencies in accordance with the laws of the United States because, he said. there may be a time when the Philippines are cut off from cable communication with this country He urged the establishment of an executive department for the control of the islands.
 In concluding MT. Morgan said that he had purposily refrained from referring to his amendment; but" he said. If the bill stands as it is and will break the uniformity of taxation in the Philippines, I shall feel that the constitution has been violated"
 After a brief executive session, the Sem ate at 4:25 D. m. adjourned, until Mon day.

 Speaking of the claims that had been made that there was no lawful govern ment in the Philippines, MT. Morgan with great earnestness said there is a govern ment there and he was glad to say very good government suitable to the charac- ter of the people and circumstances in which we found them. It would advance the estimation of the Filipinos for the United States. if they could have a dele gation in Congress as in the case of Hawaii, said MT. Morgan. This. he thought, would be no violation of the constitution.
 MT. Morgan, in referring to the work of the Philippine commission, their person. ality and ability, paid a trihutei to the late President Mckinley, who, De said was the happiest man In the world 1T making selections of men for responsible positions, who always could be relied up on to do the right thing at the right tm' and in the right way.

GOV. cuMMINs' IDEA.
Governor Of Iowa Gives View on Tariff
and Trusts.

Governor OF Iowa Gives View on Tariff
and Trusts.
Des Moines, June 27.-Gov. Cum
Minis, in an interview here, expressed
the hope that the coming convention
may re-enact the platform adopted by
the party at Cedar Rapids last year.
Gov. Cummins' statement is of
great significance, because the action
on tariff and the trusts is the chief
topic of discussion. Gov. Cummins
said:
'It would not be appropriate for me
to suggest what the coming republican
state convention should say upon
trusts and tariffs. The republicans of
Iowa need no training to lead them to
the best utterance upon this subject
They are always true to the higher in
terests of the country, and they al
ways understand just what republic
anism is.
Il am perfectly willing, however, to
say what l hope the convention will
do. The platform of last year con-
tanned this expression upon the sub.
ject: That we stand by the historic
policy of the republican party in CIV
ing protection to home industries, and
point for its ample vindication to the
extraordinary rapidity with which our
national resources have been develop
ed and our industrial and financial in
dependence secured. We favor such
changes in the tariff from time to
time as become advisable through the
progress of our industries and their
changing relations to the commerce of
the world.
"'That we assert the sovereignty OF
the people over all corporations and
aggregations of capital and the right
residing in the people to enforce such
regulations, restrictions, or prohibi.
tons upon corporate management as
will protect the individual and society
from abuse of the power which great
combinations of capital WELD. We ia.
vor such amendment of the interstate
commerce act as will more fully carry
out its prohibition of discrimination
in rate making. and any modification
of the tariff schedules that may be re.
quired to prevent their affording shell
ter to monopoly.
This is the best expression of the
republican position upon trusts and
tariff have ever seen.
II sincerely hope the convention to
assemble on July 80 will declare ex.
actly the same thought, for I believe
that the position that the republicans
of Iowa have been holding under the
Cedar Rapids platform is unassail.
able"
The governors declaration simpli.
fies the situation. 1t means that the
issue before the convention, IL there
is to be an issue, viii be whether last
years platform shall be substantially
lreafhrmed or reDudiated.

Has Trouble in Being Made Chairman
in Fuel Company Directory.

in Fuel Company Directory.
j. G. Osgood who is we'll known in
Ottumwa, being related to A. D. Moss
and having spent considerable time in
this city, is meeting with considerable
opposition as chairman of the board
OF directors of the Colorado Iron &
Fuel Co.. with which Mr.. Moss and S.
A. Forbush and A. F. Kindall, all of
whom formerly resided here, are con-
nected. A Chicago dispatch tells the
story of the affair as follows:
Passing of the quarterly dividend
on the common stock of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company means the be-
ginning of a fight for the displacement
of j. C. Osgood chairman of the board
of directors and in practical control
of the company. John w. Gates and
other eastern directors are understood
to contend that they control major
ity of the stock. They assert they
have been badly treated by the west
ern directors in that the dividend was
discontinued when 1t had been agreed
payments should be made out Of the
surplus fund.
The board of directors consists of
twelve members, seven of whom, with
Mr.. Osgood as leader, control the &C.

bers are ]. G. Osgood, Dennis Sulli.
van, w. H. James, d. G. Beaman, John
L. Jerome, A. c. Cass and j. B. Grant.
The Chicago and New York directors
are John L. Mitchell, John Lambert.
John w. Gates of Chicago. and James
A. Blair and ]. E. Hemerdinger, of
New York.
The New York-Chicago crowd went
into the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany with the understanding that
they were to have a majority of the
board. They treated with J. c.. Os-
good. When it came to the annual
election Mr.. Osgood declined to give
the eastern crowd majority represen.
tation and things have not been pleas.
ant since.
Last year it was agreed that the
dividend rate should be continued, al
though earnings would not be equal to
the payments. On the strength of
this understanding John w. Gates got
his steel friends into the company as
stockholders. He sold 10000 shares
to one friend and went into the mar

ed of.
When the talk a few weeks ago be-
came current that the dividend rate
would be suspended Mr.. Gates and his
friends asserted an agreement had
been broken and that they proposed
to control the company at the next
annual meeting. They charged that
Mr.. Osgood went short on the stock,
or at least sold his holdings, when. the
shares We're above par and thon pass
ed the dividend in order to buy the
stock back. This Mr.. Osgood denies.
Meantime, Harris, Gates & Co..
have been large buyers of the shares.
There is no doubt the eastern direc-
tors and their friends own majority.
but they will be obliged to wait until
the annual meeting before being able
to have any voice in the affairs of the
corporation. If they continue to hold
their certificates up to that time they
will be able to control the board and
displace Mr.. Osgood as an executive
officer, but it is hardly probable they
can keep him off the board of direct
ors.
