Washington, Feb. 1s.-There was a
large attendance upon the floor of the
house and in the galleries yesterday
morning in anticipation Ct the debate
Just prior to the assembling of the
house, the committee on rules met and
agreed on the form of a special rule
for consideration of the bill. by the
terms of which 1t will be brought to a
vote at O'Clock tomorrow.
The chaplain In his invocation pray
ed that the life of Representative shep-

Mr.. Underwood of Alabama, the
Democratic member OF tAe rules com
mittee, protested against the adoption
OF the proposed rule, not because 1t
provided for consideration of the bill
to reduce taxation, but because 1t pre-

should be repeated. As an instance of
the tax which was not advisable to
repeal. he cited the Inheritance tax.

that is not reached by other taxation.
Several other Democrats protested
and Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee, the
minority leader, moved to recommit
the rule. The speaker declared the
motion out of order. Mr.. Richardson
appealed and the house sustained the
chair, 165 to 123. Rule then adopted

THE WAR TAX REPEAL
Measure GOES Through the House In
an Unexpected Manner.
NO VOTE AGAINST 1T
The Adoption Of Special Rule Cutting
on Debate Rendered Discussion
Worthless and the Bill Passed
by Unanimous Consent.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-The unexpect-
ed happened in the house Monday
when the bill to repeal the war reve-
nue. taxes was passed unanimously,
without a word of debate. This action
was the outcome of challenge thrown
down by Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee
after the adoption by strict party
vote of special order for the consid-
Grafton of the bill, which permitted
debate upon 1t until o'clock this after
noon, but cut off all opportunity to
offer amendments except such as had
been agreed upon by the ways and
means committee.
The adoption of the rule had been
preceded by q stormy debate. In the
course of which the Democrats protest
ed against the application of the gag"
which Mr.. Hay of Virginia charged was
meant to prevent a free expression.
not only by the Democrats. but by some
OF the Republicans. attention being es-
peciaIly directed toward Mr.. Babcock
Of Wisconsin, the father of the bill.
to amend the steel schedule of the
present tariff.
Mr.. Babcock said that he supported
the program on the ground that the
issue presented for the repeal Of the
war revenue taxes should not be COM
piicated with other matters At the
same time he gave notice that he
should press his own bill ae the first
opportunity.
Mr.. Dalsell of Pennsylvania scored
a point against the minority by recall
ing the time under Democratic control
OF the house when 649 amendments to
the Wilson tariff BIN had been forced
through without being read.
When the rule was adopted by q vote
OF 15S to 100. Mr.. Richardson, to en-
phasize the fact that debate on the bill
could accomplish nothing and that de-
liberation upon Ii would be fruitless.
asked unanimous consent that the bill
be placed upon its passage. Not an
objection was voiced and the vote was
taken forthwith. Every vote, 278 In
number, was cast In the Affirmative,
and thus quietly and unanimously
came the end of what at one time had
promised TO be one OF the most excit-
Ing contests OF the session.

more than an hours time Monday the
senate disposed OF the treaty with Den

$4,000, 600 the islands OF 81. John, 81.

Danish West Indies and lying just
east of Porto Rico. and thus. SO far
ms this country is concerned. eonsum-
mated a transaction which has been
under consideration, internationally
since the administration of President
Lincoln.
Senator Culiom. as chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, made
q speech explaining the advantages OF
acquisition Of the islands and Senator'S
Bacon and McLaurin of Mississippi,
made brief remarks. saying that while
they could not indorse all the provis-
ions of the agreement they would place
no obstacle in the way of ratification.
Senator Bacon moved to amend the
treaty by striking out the second par
agraph of article 3 of the treaty. read
Ing as follows:
The civil rights and political status
Of the inhabitants of the islands shall
be determined by the congress. subject
To the stipulations contained In the
present convention"
He based his opposition TO this pro
vision on the general ground that the
constitution should extend TO the Is
lands when they became a part OF the
United States. He said, however. that
the failure TO accept the amendment
would not prevent his voting for the
treaty, for he believed In the Monroe
doctrine Under that doctrine this
government could not permit any Euro
pean country TO acquire the islands
and We could not In fairness take this
position and then ourselves refuse TO
buy them when they were for sale
The amendment was rejected with
Gut division.
Senator Cullom's motion TO ratify
them was adopted by viva voce vote
After an extended debate the senate
passed the bill establishing q perma~
nent census once. The discussion re-
lated principally to the collection and
publication by the director Of the cen
sus bureau OF statistics respecting the
production Of cotton. Mr.. Allison Wig
orously opposed the provision. main
tanning that the cotton statistics GATH
cred by the department Of agriculture
we're complete and accurate, and thar
no necessity existed for thek daplica-
ton. Despite his opposition the pro-
vision was inserted In the bill.
The following bills were then pass
ed:
To promote the efficiency OF the rev

ure OF the measure being provisions
for the retirement OF revenue cutter

FOR SUPREME JUDGE.

We are authorized to announce
that Hon. Waller W. Graves, Judge
of the Doth Judicial circuit, viii be a
candidate before the next Democratic
State Conventionfor the nomination
of Supreme Judge.
Judge Graves decided to be a can
didate only after a careful survey oil
the field and repeated solicitations
from friends and admirers in differ
ent sections of the state. He is one
OF the most diiiident of men. modest
ast0 his own claims, but no man will
gofarther in legitimate way to help
IA friend or promote the interests OF
the Democratic party, OF which he
has been an active and influential
member from his majority.
Judge Graves may appropriately
be referred To as self-made man,
having by his own eXertions worked
his way up from pillow boy to the
high position on the bench he now
holds, following such illustrious
juristsas Hon. Foster p. Wright; the
present Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. Hon. James b. CAN'T, and
Hon, David A. DeArmond, the recog-
nized leader oi the democratic party
in the Nation to-day, and it is no dis
arrangement OF those gentlemen to
say that the high standard thus set
has been fully maintained by the
present incumbent.
Judge Graves is the peer OF any
manwhose name will represented for
that office. He is an able Jurist, u
learned aud upright Judge, n young
man OF indomitable energy, indus-
trious and studious. Possesses a
clear, well balanced, analytical mind
and has at all times the courage OF
his convictions.
He is the candidate of no clique or
faction, and with no entangling alli-
ances, but comes before the demo-
cratic party OF the state with clean
handsapd- upon his meritsaleHe asks
this high distinction of his party.
His public record is without a flaw
and his private life is blameless.
Neither the Democratic party or the
people of Missouri will have cause to
regret his nomination and election.

DEATH FROM SCALDING.
J, J. Raw, a Former Citizen of
Bates County, Meets Death
in Montana.
Is KILLED AT HIS POST OF DUTY.

The following notice Of the death
of j. j. Ray, a former cit izen Of
Bates county, is taken from n Mon
tana paper:
As Il result of scalds and burns sus-
tanned Saturday evening while firing
passenger train on the Northern
Pacific near Garrison, Fireman jeff
Ray died at the company's hospital
Sunday morning. From the time of
arrival at the hospital there was but
little hope that death could be stay
ed. Tenderly the serious wounds
were cared for, but were found too
serious for human aid to prevent the
sad ending.
Ray was near 40 years ofage; mar
ried, and is survived by a wife and
two children who reside on Spruce
street in Missoula, Their loss is n
sad one in which is extended them
the sincere sympathy of II host of
people Of the community, who had
known and esteemed the dead man
highly. Ray had been employed on
the Rocky Mountain division since
f-+.f:..-, and tUrV me REPUTATION o. a
careful and efficient employe.
The remains were taken to the I'M
dertaking rooms OF ii. {. Marsh, and
will be buried from the family resi-
deuce on East Spruce at 2:3O this
afternoon, service to be conducted
by Rev. II. +. Rossell under the au-
spices of Missoula's camp of indie
pendent Order of Foresters.
In addition to the misfortune most
dire thatis contained in the death of
Ray there is another incident most
pathetic that is connected Herewith.
Practically the entire estate left to
the family is an insurance certificate
OF 81, 900 carried with the beneficiary

to this the deceased had for several
years kept up an accident policy

THE TINES is not fighting for a con-
yention, neither are we advocating a
primary. We are perfectly willing to
leave that matter to the wisdom of
the Central Committee. II our selfish
ends were consulted, We would I'M
hesitatingly advorate the primary
system 10 nominate our candidates,
because there is more money in it to
party newspaper. Both systems
have their advantages and disadvan-
tages, and we have no doubt that
the Democratic party will survive
either. Our candid opinion is that
the party's interests are best subserv-
ed by the convention method. II
the primary election could be safe
guarded by state laws to prevent
illegal voting then it would be much
better than it il now, still it would
labor under the disadvantage OF be-
ing unable to distribute the ticket,
and populous townships would still
have big advantage over smaller
ones. However, there might be spe.
cial reasons this time why a primary
would be better and We want it dis.
tinctly understood that we are not

DEAL SQUARELY WITH MISSOURI

Driven to the dilemma Of either
calling President Roosevelt and
Andrew Carnegie "looters of IA trust
fund or confessiug the utter falsity
OF it's position regarding the school
fundof Missouri, the Globe-D Democrat
refuses to acknowledge that the con-
version of S10,000,000 of steel bonds
into United States bonds for the pro-
posed national university is analo-
gousto the action that has been tax
en- by democratic administration in
this state in handling moneys of the
schools.
In the case of the national univer-
sity, Mr.. Carnegie, upon the advice of
the president, has sold bonds pro-
ducing a revenue which couldl in no
-n1uuner be drawn from The public
-trrusurv- ttttr- fTuS invested the pro-
ceeds OF the steel bonds in gnyern-
inent bonds, the interest OF which will
be raised by II tax upon the people
and which will be drawn from the
unitedStates treasury. The revenue
of this new form of the university
fund is not drawn from outside
sources, but. as the Globe saws re-
garding the Missouri school fund.
1.-THE burden OF supporting the scien-
tihc institution endowed by a gener-
Gus individual will have been shifted
to the shoulders Of the people
Exactly the same thing has been
done by Missouri Previous to 1879
the principal part of the school fund
was invested in United States bonds.
These bonds were sold at a premium
and the proceeds invested in Missouri
bonds. These Missouri bonds were
public debts, the interest on which
was paid by general taxation. Chang
ing the bonds into certificates of in
debtedness simply made convertible
bonds inconvertible. As before the
conversion, the credit of the state is
behind every certificate of indebted
ness and all the forms OF bonds are
preserved.
In other words, Andrew Carnegie
and President Roosevelt are doing
with the national university trust
fund what Governor Hardin did with
Missouri's school fund. The credit OF
the government is back of the new
form of the university fund. The
credit OF the state is back of the
schoolfund. In both cases the trus.
tees of the funds have looted" them
to the extent OF investing in Their
own securities.
According to a familiar illustration
of the Globe, if Mr. Carnegie would
give enough money to his university
endowment the United States gov.
eminent would be bankrupt. New
bonds would demand so much inter.
est that the people would he-.axed
to death. According to the Globe,
thatwas the danger of emufating the
