CANAL BILL PASSED
House Almost Unanimous For
 Hepburn Measure.
ONLY TWO NEGATIVE VOTES CAST.
Opposition Tried In Vain to Secure Amendments FavOring Pana- ma Company's Forty MiI-
 lion Offer.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Hep burn Nicaraguan canal bill passed the house late yesterday afternoon by prac- tically a unanimous vote. Only two members out of BIO voted against it. Messrs. Fletcher (Rep., Minn.) and LaSsiter Dem., Va.) were the two vot- ing in the negative. The opposition to committing the government to the Nj caraguan route attempted to secure amendments to lodge with the presi- dent the discretionary power to pur- chase and complete the Panama canal if it could be purchased for $40O00,O 900.
 The debate which proceeded the talk Ing of the final vote was made memora- ble by clash between Mir. Hepburn, the author of the bill, and Mir. Cannon, chairman of the appropriations com mittee. On several previous occasions they have measured swords over canal legislation. Two years ago similar bill was passed by vote of PA to 36.
 The bill as passed authorizes the president to secure from the states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua in behalf of the United States control of such por- ton of the territory belonging to said states as may be desirable and neces- sary on which to excayate, construct and protect a canal suitable to the wants of modern navigation and com- merce and appropriates such q sum as may be necessary to secure the con- trol of said territory
 Section authorizes the president, after securing control of the needed territory, to direct the secretary of war to construct such canal from the Ca ribbean sea at point near Greytown, i'll Nicaragua by way Of Lake Nicara- qua, to a point OH the Pacific ocean near Brito and also to construct prop CT harbors at the termini of said canal and to make necessary provisions for the defense of the canal and harbors.
 Sections 3 and authorize the presi- dent to make such surveys as may be necessary and to employ such persons in constructing the canal as may to him seem wise and directs that in the construction of the canal the river San Juan and Lake Nicaragua shall be used as far as they are available.
 Section authorizes the president to guarantee to the governments of Costa SuQ a4N1CdIdS ud luC uSC O1 LuS Cd- nal and harbors upon terms to be agreed upon for all vessels owned by said states and by citizens thereof.
 The last section makes present ap- propriation Of $10,000000 to carry on this work and authorizes the secretary of war to enter into proper contracts for material and work as may be deem ed necessary therefor, such work and material to be paid for as appropria- tions may be made from time to time The section fixes the aggregate cost at $1S0,000,O00, to be drawn from the treasury on warrants of the president.
 The open session of the senate was devoted to routine business. After an executive session the senate at 1 50 adjourned until Monday.
 The senate in executive session con- frmed the nominations of Hon. L. NJ. Shaw to be secretary of the treasury and of Hon. Henry c. Payne to be postmaster general.

LEADS LABOR HOSTS.
Gompers Reelected President of the
 American Federation.
Not Known Whether He Favors the Chicago Memorial Asking Con- gress to Pat Curb on the
 "Injunction Eyil."

Samuel Gompers, reelected president of the American Federation of Labor at Scranton, Pa, has won his present eminent position as labor leader by many years of active work and close study in his special sphere of life. Him. self a laborer-he went to work when ten in an English factory-his sympa- thies have been direct and practical. In 1863, at the age of 13, he came to the United States, and one year later he joined the cigarnakers' union, then forming, and has been an active mem Der of that organization ever since. From his first election as president of the federation he has assisted in al most every big reform in the laws af- fecting labor and has appeared be- fore commis sions, national and state, which from time to time have investi- gated industrial conditions. The lead- ing trait of MT. Gompers' character is his intense practicalism. He enter tains no hobbies or theories what ever.
 It is not known whether Nfr. Com pers is in favor of the petition adopted
  which is to be sent to the president, United States senators and members of the house of representatives pray ing that such legislation be passed as will tend to curb the power of fed eral judges to issue injunctions dur ing labor disputes.
 The memorial speaks in the name of 115.0oo organized workmen in Chicago, and says that government by injunc- tion has reached a stage where it has become intolerable. ''Lese majeste" in Germany is declared to be preferable, inasmuch as the kaiser does not sit in judgment in such eases, while the federal judge in America is judge, jury and executioner.
 The petition is as follows: ''Our fathers in their wisdom provided for three distinct coordinate parts of gov ernment, the legislative, the judicial, the executive, and it was certainly their intention that these should be inde-

AFTER ROBERTS SCALP.
President Believed to Re Considering the Appointment of a New
 United States Treasurer.

4 change in the important position of treasurer of the United States, now held by Ellis H. Roberts, of New York, IS looked for soon. It is understood here that the president has decided to appoint successor to Mr. Roberts, but who the new man is cannot be learned.
 A republican representative from New York, who has long been close personal and political friend of the president, has had several talks with him at the white house recently in re- gard to this matter and he is authority for the statement that new treasurer will soon be made.
 Fprther inquiry made by the Brook lyn Eagle correspondent brought out the fact that the presid ent is not satis-

 The ladies have taken to the Schiller Stock company with considerable en- thuSiaSm. as shown by the quite coh- siderable attendance at the matlnees, and they have pronounced the company to their liking. It is certainly SlVlnS pleasing performances, there being no occasion for criticism on that score. The thrilling psychological play. "Dr Jekyll and MT Hyde,' will be the bill for this evening, while for the matinee tomorrow "The City of New York vii be presented. Prices are popular. VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Sugimoto's Royal Japanese troupe are proving the great sensation of the season at the Jacques, and it Is doubt ful if vaudeville can provide a more sensational novelty than they offer. Certainly, in the circuses and other at fractions where novelty of this kind might be looked for, nothing at all ap- preaching it in marvellous originality has ever been seen, and Waterbury people who allow the week to pass without seeing Sugimoto's marvellous troupe are doing themselves real 1n- justice. After this engagement the troupe will probably not be seen here again, as they return to Europe after a twenty weeks tour of the Keith and Proctor circuits. The remainder of the show is of kind to create quite as much fun as the Japanese stir up wonder, for one has few moments for anything but laughter during the acts introduced by Yorke and Adams. Oscar Sisson and Esther Wallace, the Brown ings. Daly and Devere, Grammar and Martini. and Dudley and Orme. The vitagraph pictures this week are of un- usual interest, too, being a singularly picturesque series of Swiss mountaia views. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10; evening prices 10, 20 and 30 cents.

The 12-year-old son of John Willis, a farmer of Winamac, Ind, left a team he was driving while he chased a squirrel. The horses backed the wagon into some beehiyes, and the insects so stung them that they died. The boy also was seriously stung, and is likely to lose his eyesight.

London. Feb. ga sensational dispute
between a wealthy mother and daughter
over the custody of the htters children
was aired in the courts last week. The
parties were Mrs. Naylor Leland and her
daughter, Hon. Mrs. Chet0ynd, sister in
law of Lady Naylor Leland, who was
Miss Jennie Chamberlain of Cleveland.
Mrs. Chetvynd was divorced from her
husband in 1900 She then signed an agree
ment allowing her two little girls to spend
a certain time with Mrs Naylor Leland,
for which privilege the latter allowed her
daughter $1,000 yearly, making her in
come $4,000 On Thursday last Mrs.
Chetwynd sued her mother to recover
$4,000 due under this agreement, but
decision was rendered against her, as it
was proved that she had removed the chill
dren from their grandmothers care, mad
taken them to South Africa and had neg
lected their education, thereby breaking
her part of the contract.
In court Mrs. Chetwynd swore that her
mother was mad, that she was not fit to
have the children with her ON account of
/ her constantly changing countries, her be-
lief in ghosts and allowing socialists to
meet in her cellars. Mrs. Chetwynd fur
Their alleged that her mother always hated
her and treated her neglectfully. Answer
ing questions put by counsel, she declared
that no one brought up as a millionaire 5
daughter could live on $1,000 year Jus
tice Ridley commenting on the testimony
said he regretted he had not the advantage
Of being brought up as millionaire s
daughter 1t transpired during the pro
ceedings that Naylor Leland's income is
100000. As all the partie- are well known
in society the disclosures created sensa-
ton.

London, Feb. 3-King Edward and
Queen Alexandra, with a large suite, Wis
tied the Lyceum theater Saturday night to
witness the performance of "Sherlock
Holmes" Their majesties' entrance was
the signal for an enthusiastic demonsuH-
ton on the part of the large audience, at
which the king and queen were apparently
greatly pleased the king bowling again and
again. The royal party seemed delighted
with the play and at the end of the third
act King Edward sent for Mr.. Gillette and
complimented him upon the performance.
At the end of the play the king again sum
moned the actor and warmly shook him
by the hand, thanking him for a delight
full evening. A great crowd waiting out
side the theater cheered their majesties as
they left.
There has been a wonderful change in
the aspect of theatrical affairs here and
the majority of the theaters are now at
floodtide of success. Old favorites like
kitty Grey" sherlock Holmes" and
Crooks and Frills" continue to draw over
flowing audiences, while every one of thi:
weeks productions has been equally sue
cessful Plays whose success on the firs
night seemed doubtful are all sharing il
the general prosperity. The visits of thC
king and queen and other members of The
royal family to the theaters this week
have added interest to the productions.

st. Louis, Feb. ga special to the
Globe Democrat from SAN Antonio, Tex,
says;
Eighty-fve miners killed and 10 more
buried under debris is the awful record
made by dust explosion at the Hondo
mines in Mexico, news of which was TT
ceived here Saturday night.
At the time the explosion occurred there
were 100 miners at work in the mine, all
of wnom we've entombed by the shaft be-
ing choked up by falling earth and stone
loosened by the explosion just how many
are dead is not at this time known, but at
last accounts received here by wire Satur-
day night So bodies had been recovered.
1t is feared that the death list will be
greatly over 100.
The Hondo mines are located at Goa
hula, at the terminus of a branch of the
Mexican international road, about 100
miles south of Eagle Pass. and are the
most important in that state. Details 81
the disaster are meager, no names of the
victims being learned here.
