WASHINGTON. April 16.-Archbishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, had a conference with
Secretary Root to-day. following talk he
has had with the President. respecting the
Philippine friars' land question. 1t was the
idea of Archbishop Ireland and Bishop
O'Gorman to have this complex question
settled directly at Rome. instead of through
the Archbishop Of Manila. who. they
pointed out. would have been obliged to
delay proceedings greatly by frequent ref

negotiations to his superiors at the Vatican.

The urgent deficiency bill was taken up
by the Senate late yesterday afternoon on
motion of Mr.. Hale. 1t is the first of the
appropriation measures to be considered
by the Senate
The discussion of the bill gave rise to
a spirited dispute over the merits of the
case OF Judge Noyes and his colleagues OF
Alaska.
Senator Hansbrough was the defender
Of Judge Noyes. He stated that he had
known the judge for many years and that
he considered the charges against him
wholly without foundation. lie said that
Judge Noyes had received his appoint
ment as the result of the endorsement
of the entire bench and bar of South
and North Dakota. Minnesota. and many
judges and lawyers of Wisconsin.
No Warrant for Attack.
He referred to the statement made by
Mr. Tillman on Monday and asserted that
there was no warrant for this attack in
the newspaper statements that have been

offence Of the Alaskan officials was after
all only contempt of court.

Senator Mcmillan is the chairman of

This assignment to one of the most I'M

A Compromise.
Senator Eikins stated yesterday that
the bill is likely to meet with opposition
both from the commission and the rail-
ways. as its provisions are in the nature
of a compromise. that will not wholly
please either. and may greatly displease
in some cases. He intimated, however,
that such a bill is the best that can be
framed with any hope of success.
While the Interstate Commerce Com
mission may have the strength with Cen
gress to defeat Il pooling bin which does
not give it additional power. the railways
also quite certainly have the strength
to defeat a measure giving the commits
sion additional power and not including
the pooling bill feature.
Senator Elkins stated that in his opin-
ion law legalizing pooling by the rail-
ways is q necessity for the preservation
of rates and for the protection of the
smaller railways.

TO INCREASE OFFICIAL WAGES.
Delegate Wilcox Suggests 100000
AuuunIIy for the President.

Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii does not be-
ernrnent receive sufficient reward in the
way Of compensation for their services.
In his own experience he has found that
the salary of a member OF Congress is in
sufficient.
Yesterday he introduced bill to rem
edy the evil of underpaying statesmen.
His measure fixes the salary of the Pres
ident of the United States at 100000 a
year.
He evidently believes. too, that the Vice
President is a more important official, and
is more oYerworked than are the mem-
bers of the Cabinet. for, while he places
the compensation which shall be paid to
the Vice President at S25 900 a year. he
names but $15,O 900 for the members OF
the Cabinet.
He further believes that the Chief JUS
tice of the United States should receive
s20, 900 a year and the associate justices
SIT, 500.
The provision for members OF Congress
is that they shall receive 1900 for each
session of Congress. This would make
their regular salary $4,000 term ana
give them $4,000 each for every extra
session called.
Mr.. WilcoA's bill concludes with this
section:
That this shall become law after
its passage and approval"
Mr.. wilcox has also introduced bill
fixing the salaries OF the officials of the
Territory of Hawaii. The salary of the
Governor. by the terms OF the measure,
is placed at IS 900 Annually. and that OF
other officers proportionately.

to the Senate. In executive session at
tentiOn was called to the fact that Daniels
was charged with being a sure-thing
gambler. and the partner in a gambling
game, and the nomination was recon-
nlitted. Again it was favorably reported
to the Senate, and on last Thursday. along
with a big batch of nominations. was fa
yOrably acted upon. There was no pro-
test made against his confirmation. as it
was believed that the Judiciary Commit
tee had thoroughly sifted the charges
against Daniels
Mr.. Teller of Colorado called the at
tention OF the Senate to the article in
The Times yesterday morning. and said
that he was astonished to find that the
Senate had voted to confirm the nomina-
tion of man bearing such a record He
said that he thought the Judiciary Com
mittee had acted upon the nomination
after a thorough investigation, and that
it was with utter surprise that he found
that Senators had voted to confirm Dam
iels upon the report of that committee.
with such record as set forth in pr IIt
behind him.
Mr. Teller's arraignment of the Judi
ciary Committee was in no sense mild, and
he soon had Senator Hoar to his feet. de-
tending the action of the committee.
Il want the Senator to understand" :"
said Mr. Hoar. that the Judiciary Com
mittee acted only after a careful, honest
and exhaustive examination into the ru-
mored charges against this man. and that
it was the endeavor of the committee to
get at the real facts, and to learn as much
as possible OF this mans character
There were no specific charges such
as detailed in the despatch published in
the papers. and we sought for light and
were unable to establish any of the
rumored charges against Mr.. Daniels.
And. Furthermore, ! want to say to the
Senator that he cannot browbeat and
lecture me as though he were school
teacher lecturing class"
Senator Hoar was very earnest in his
remarks. but Senator Teller was equally
in earnest, and there were several sharp
passages between the two Senators, VINO
have seen long service together in the
Senate and who have been the warmest
friends during their period of service.
When the matter had been thoroughly
thrashed out. Mr.. Teller made a motion
| to reconsider the vote by which the nom
| ination was confirmed. and this was car
ried unanimously. The motion was then
made 10 recommit the nomination, and
this was also carried unanimously.
The nomination, therefore. goes back
to the committee. and the character and
| past record OF the nominee will be thor
oughly canvassed before the nomination
is again reported to the Senate.

! embarrassed by the revelations iE regard
! to Daniels than anyone who has had any
I connection with his nomination and con-
/ frmation. IL the reports of the past

more than likely the President will with

which th, nomination Of Ben 8. Daniu ;
10 De United states Marshal Tor Arizona
was confirmed on last Thursday. The NOM
ination was then recommitted.
This action in the case of Daniels, who
is an ex-Rough Rider. and whose nomi-
nation was a personal one with President
Roosevelt, was caused by the despatch
printed in The Times yesterday morning
from Cheyenne, Wyo., giving the past
record of the nominee for United States
marshalship.
The despatch stated that Daniels had
criminal record, and gave the personal
description of him that is spread upon
the records OF the United States peni-
tentiary at Laramie, Wyo. This record
shows that Daniels was convicted OF
larceny. and served a term In prison a
glimpse into the past OF the ex-convict
shows that he was a "sure thing
gambler. a brace faro bank dealer ana
that he once held UP faro bank, and was
driven out of town by his former asso-
ciates on this account
The revelations contained in the de-
snatch astonished the Senators who had
voted for the confirmation of Daniels, and
no sooner had the Senate gone into secret
session than the matter was brought up.
BEFORE it was finally disposed of there
had been a lively tilt between Senators
Hoar and Teller.
The latter charged that Senators were
uisled by the report Of the judiciary
Committee. which had under consideration
the nomination of Daniels. Mr.. Hoar, the
chairman of the committee, protested that
the committee had acted according 10 us
lights, and that there was no evidence
brought before it likely to sustain he

spatch.

The petitions state that the office OF
