Republican should deliver the eulcgy.
General Hooker declared that no one
was mere Jealous Of the interests Of
the Democratic party than he. but he
saw nothing political in Secretary Hay $
address to make objection to.
he paid tribute to the late President
and ,ruded the literary character OF
Secretary Hays speech.
General GrcsvcncT concluded the dis
cusgion by reading from editorial com
mont in Democratic newspapers in
praise of the Grafton. lie said further
that it would have been impossible to
have delivered fitting eulogy of the
late President without reference to his
political career and achievements.

to ray n bounty out of the Treasury to
a foreign government would not only
| be unconstitutional. bu. very bad pre-
| cedent to set ana one that could not be
defended by any sort OF sensible argu-
ment
| The Spooncr plan contains also q
proviso, giving the President the poteF
to suspend the proposed reduction In
cases where IL cannot be clearly shown
that the sugars presented for import
belong 10 the original owners and not
to The sugar trust. The lawyers OF the
Senate think this provision is somewha,
quixotic, but they nre willing to agree
to 1t, as Il seems to be designed by
those Senator's who will not vote for a
bill that does not contain some such
guarantee that the Cubans and not
American capitalists will be benefited
by the proposed legislation.
There is practically no doubt that the
SpooRcr compromise plan VIII eventually
be indorscd By nearly, II not quite all, OF
the Republican Senator's, and adopted
as party measure and passed.
Fate of Canal Bill in Doubt.
The fate OF the canal bill is more
uncertain. There are three propositions
now betcia the Senate: first. the Hep
burn bill. passed by the House. for the
construction OF canal by the Nicara-
guam route: second, the Spooner bill.
providing for the selection OF the
Panama route. IL a clear title and rights
can be guaranteed, and, II not. the
Nicaraguan route; and third. the bill
of Senator Hoar giving to the President
full authority to select route.
The Committee on Interoceanic Canals
has reported in favor OF the Nicaraguan
bill, and the minority has reported in
favor OF the Panama route.
II is admitted that a majority OF the
Senate favor the Nicaraguan route. but
it is feared that the opposition to any
cana, bill is so strong and so insidious
that 1t may be possible to proiong the
discussion until midsummer, when 1t
will be impossible to get any legisla-
tion at all. A large majority of both
sides OF the chamber favor a canal bill.
and the opponents of 1t are more pow
erful than numerous.
There will be no filibustering against
the Cuban bill. as the Democrats admit
that IL the Republicans agree upon a
bill they should be allowed to pass it
after reasonable time for debate. Az
regards the canal bill the situation Is
different; while the chances are that il
will pass. confident prediction cannot
be made at present, even by those who
understand conditions in the Senate.
The House Of Representatives will
pass a substitute for the Lodge Philip
pine civil government bill prepared by
the Committee on Insular Affairs. and
the conflicting views of the two houses
will be arranged in conference.
The appropriation bills and other rou-
tine work OF the session are now in such |
shape that II the Cuban and canal bills |
were out Of the way. day for final ad-
journment could be finally fixed. As it |
is, nobody knows when Congress will get |
away. although there is no reason to
hope that 1t will be before July Is.

Rebate Plan Unconstitutional.

One of the chief objections to the re-
bate plan has been the argument made
by a number of Republicans that 1t
would be unconstitutional. and that the
Supreme Court would not uphold it.
Senator Platt OF Connecticut holds this
view. and has SO expressed himself
recently. on the Other hand. a num-
Der of Republicans. including Senator
Hoar. who is considered one OF the best
constitutional lawyers in TIE Senate. be-
lievc that a rebate would be entirely
constitutional. Mr.. Hoar says that it
would be in the nature of money eN-
pended to buy trade, and in this way on
par with money paid for territory. as
in the case o, Alaska.
Senator Burton has beer one OF the
men counted or by the Administration
Senator'S to support their bill. until this
week. Il is understood that sentiment
in Kansas has become cu,spoken in IA
vor OF the beet sugar interests during
the last few days. and that as a result
he has decided to side with the beet
sugar people.

They assert that the party influence will

other Senators can agree.
There is a strong impression in some
quarters that bill embodying the re-

II is understood that Senator Aldrich
has stated recently that If nothing else
can be agreed on by the Republicans
with practical unanimity he will be in
favor of this.
The beet sugar people argue that a
rebate paid to the Cuban government
and distributed by it would serve all
the purposes OF aiding Cuba without in
the least nulllfying the protection theory
and without benehting the sugar trust
and thus injuring the beet sugar in
terests.
The conference yesterday did not
agree on any rate Of rebate that should
be advocated. They are disposed to
agree to anything of this kind that Mr.
Aldrich may desire. even rebate of
30 per cent. II that is thought to be de-
sirable.

The senate confirmed the vote OF the
house fixing the salary of members oi
congress at $500 annually.
President Palma's nomination of Senior
Quesada as Cuban minister to Washing

the senate, which has already held two
secret sessions on the nomination with
out coming to a decision. II is claimed
that Senor Quesada's chances Of success
depend upon the personal influence of
President Palma.
Should Be Confirmed.
Senator Trias is quoted as saying that
he has no opinion for or against Senior
Quesada, but his nomination should be
confirmed, as he i. the first minister to
be nominated by President Palma. He
also argued that Senur Quesada would
be acceptable to the Washington Gov
ernment
The arguments by Senior Sanguily, he
said, were OF pers onal nature.
The "Lucha" and Discussion" defend
General Wood against the attacks of
certain American papers in the matter
OF expenditures in the island under his

attacks show more animus than judg-

small one for his position.
Attacks Puerile.
The Discussion considers the attacks
puerile and insignificant, and says they

BIC OIL ERELGHTER

SAN FRANCISCO. August 15.-When
the big freighter Argyll is again ready
for sea she will be the largest oi'-cdrry-
ing steamer on the Pacific. She has
been chartered by the Union Oil Com
pany, and is to be employed for five
years in the oil trade between Hawaii
and this port. Tomorrow she goes to
the Union Works, where the work of
Transforming the interior will imme
diately be begun, and it is expected
that she will be in operation by the
1st of next January. The vessel will
have a capacity for 10000 barrels of oil.
She is owned by the Saginaw Steel
Steamship Company, and formerly ran
on this coast for the Panama Railway
Steamship Company.
The Union Oil Company contemplate
the purchase of a steamer capable of
transporting $4,000 barrels of oil. The
oil-carrying baTkentine Fullerton has
accepted today and will go to Olema

WARSHIPS MAY
USE LIQUID FUEL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The Navy
Department is awaiting with great in
terest the report of Lieutenant Ward
Winchell, who accompanied the steam
er Mariposa, which had been fitted re-
Gently with appliances for burning oil
fuel, on her trip from San Francisco
to the Society Islands and return.
Admiral Melville, chief of the Bureau
of Steam Engineering of the Navy De-
partment, has given much considera-
ton to the possibilities of liquid fuel
on our warships, and for some time eX-
periments have been carried on by his
direction at the Washington navy
yard.
When the oil burning appliances were
installed aboard the Mariposa, Lieu
tenant Winchell at the admiraps re-
quest was detailed to accompany her
on her voyage of more than 1000 miles
to Tahiti and return. The length of
the voyage, it was thought, would fur
nish opportunity for pretty thorough
test of the appliances, and Lieutenant
Winchell was instructed to obtain all
possible information concerning the in
stallation and operation of oil burning
devices aboard the Mariposa. He will
furnish details upon every feature.
Data relating to the size and character
of the atomizing agents for spraying
the oil are particularly desired by the
department as well as the effect of the
flames upon boiler castings, etc. Lieu
tenant Winchell will report also upon
the temperature of the fire room, the
number of men employed, character OF
work. exacted, etc. 1t is expected that
his report will be of great value, not
only to the navy but to the merchant
shipping interests, which are constant
ly besieging the department for infor-
nation relative to the results of the
departments experiments.
The unofficial reports from San Fran
cisco since the return of the Mariposa
on Tuesday have been very gratifying
and the department officials expect a
very favorable report from Lieutenant
Winchell

BIG SUBSIDIES
FOR STEAMERS

LONDON. August 15.-In its issue Of
this morning the Daily Express as
serts that Canada will subsidize to the
extent of $l50,000 and Great Britain to
the extent of $75, 900 a year the new
line of steamships to be established be-
tween Canada and South Africa, which
is the first portion of the great plan of
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain to
make the British empire Independent
of American and foreign supplies of
food. etc. Lord StrathcOna and Mount
Royal, Canadian High Commissioner
in London, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
Canadian Premier, assisted according
to the Daily Express, in arranging Mr..
Chamberlain's plan, which has the
sympathy of King Edward and the
Prince of Wales.
The Canadian Pacific Railway has
thrown in it's lot with the shipping
lines concerned in the amalmagation,
the paper concludes, and the same COM
binatiOn is arranging for a fast steam
ship service between Canada and
Great Britain.
OTTAWA, Ontario, August IA
meeting of the Cabinet was held to-
of the arrangement through the Cana
dian Ministers in London for steamship
service between Canada and South
Africa. Service will begin in October
and steamers will sail from Montreal
and Quebec in summer and Halifax and
St ohm in winter. In South Africa
steamers will call at Cape Town and
| probably Durham and another port.

TRANSITION PERIOD
MAKES TROUBLE
IN GUAM
CONGRESS FAILED TO PROVIDE A
FOR OF GOVERNMENT FOR THE
ISLAND. NO APPEAL FROM
COURT is TO BE HAD.

WASHINGTON, August 15.--An ano-
malous situation obtains in the Island
of Guam in reference to the administ1a-
tiOn of justice and Commander SchrOe-
der, the Governor of the island, has
been driven to appeal to the Navy De-
partment here for instruction as to the
limit of his powers.
Congress has not legislated for the
island and the will of the Naval Gov
ernor has ben practically supreme.
When the island was turned over to
the Navy Department and Captain
Leary was appointed Governor ne
decided to continue in operation the Old
Spanish laws except such as should be
modified by his directions or that of the
Navy Department.
Under the old system of laws thus
put in force there existed practically
but a single court on the island, the
Court of First Instance, which cores
ponds to the lowest judicial tribunal in
this country. Under the Spanish law
an appeal was allowed from the deci-
sions of this court to the Court of Ces-
sation in the Philippines, with provision
for a final appeal in a certain class Of
cases to the Government at Madrid
But with the advent of American con-
troll in the Philippines this power Of
appeal was cut off and the decisions of
the Court of First Instance practically
stand as the decisions of the court of
last resort.
Some time ago a native was convict
ed in this court of murder and was sem
fenced to be executed. The evidence
seemed to leave some question of his
guilt and the Governor was appealed
to. Being at a loss as to what action
he could take, he advised the Secretary
of the Navy of the situation and asked
for instructions. There are said to be
other cases which involve the right OF
American citizens who have been tried
in Guam under the Spanish law which,
among other things, does not provide
for trial by jury to which Americans
are entitled under the constitution. The
whole subject is being carefully con-
sidered by the Navy Department. The
Judge Advocate, it is understood, win
shortly render an opinion upon which
Acting Secretary Darling will act.
