CORLISS CABLE BILL
Killed by Action OF the House,
Will Test Substitute
Measure.

Washington, June 13.-The house
struck out the enacting clause of the
Corliss Pacific cable bill by vote Of
1l6 to II. This action, which is equiv
alent to killing the bill. gave no op-
portunity to test the strength of the
Dalzell substitute, which authorized
the president to contract with pri-
vate company for the laying of
cable
After Mr.. Corliss had spoken IN favor
of the measure Mr.. Richardson, of AL
ALBANIA, spoke against it on the ground
of economy. declaring that the appro-
priations for the fiscal year already ex-
ceeded the estimated revenues by
s5t.000,Oo0. He also urged that the
possibilities in the development Of
telegraphy made it inadvisa-
ble at this time to spend millions of
dollars for a submarine cable which in
a few years might be valueless.

here today when It was learned that
w. d Ryan. secretary of the mine
workers of Illinois, and other state
leaders were ordered to be in Wilkes

What the definite object of this con-
ference is or what its powers may be

Before 1t became known that Ryan

Ryan it is now believed that the call

machinists employed by the Allis-
Chalmers company has been amicably
adjusted. The employees of the COM
pany, who quit work one year and
fourteen days ago. will return to the
shops on Monday morning and the
pickets will be withdrawn.
While the adjustment of differences
between the machinery manufacturers
and the strikers was effected by q
compromise, the terms of the agree
ment constitute victory for the men.
They obtain the shorter hours for
which they went out and are given an
advance of II per cent in their wages.
Recognition of the union Is also Sc
cured. Practically no concessions
were made by the members of the Ma
chinsts' union. They originally do
manded an advance OF IL 1-2 per cent
in their pay and this demand has
been reduced 1-2 per cent, but other
wise they have secured all they de-
manded. sr
The strike is said to be the longest
on record.

lStaR Specially

Carrollton, June 13-Republican pol
iticians are greatly exercised over the
appointment OF Jonn Il. Kali as dep

Treasurer Oliver Allen, who appointed

has ipcensed them.
Allen is defiant anu Independent
about the matter. He is on his second

To Reciprocity Defended
BY Roosevelt.
MESSAGE IS SENT
To Congress Late Friday After
noon by President-Reesnt
Agitation Over Governor
General Wood 10 Not
Touched Upon.

-(News Democrat Leased Wire Service)
Washington, June 13.7tPresident
Roosevelt sent a special message to
congress this afternoon. 1t contains
no reference to the recent disclosures
regarding the appropriations made for
reciprocity by Governor General Wood.
1t is strictly an appeal for reciproc-
ity for Cuba. Roosevelt says the rea-
sons for which far outweigh those
for the granting of reciprocity to any
other nation.
Some of our citizens oppose the
lowering OF the tariff on Cuban pro-
ducts just as three years ago they OPP
posed the admission of Hawaii island
lest free trt de with them might ruin
certain Of our interests here.
'In the actual event their fears
proved baseless as regards Hawaii
and their apprehensions US to the DAM
age of any industry of our own because
OF the proposed measure of reciprocity
with Cuba seem to me to be equally
hasclese. In my judgment no Ameri-
can industry will be hurt, and many
American industries will be benefited
by the proposed action.
1t is to the advantage as a nation
that the growing Cuban market should
be controlled by American producers -

BLOCKING THE CANAL.
Opponents Of Waterway Are Working Their
Wits Against It

Washington, May 22.-The wav the
Philippine debate is dragging may
mean very lengthy session. A de-
bate of month is promised on the
canal bill and its opponents hope to
have it sidetracked then by the Cuban
reciprocity bill, and then to take a
month ON that. OF course the oppon-
ents of the canal bill hope to defeat it
in this way, but it is not at all certain
that they can do so. There will be vig-
orous resistance to sidetracking the
canal bill.
Just why the Philippine debate has
been allowed to drag out at such length
is hard to understand unless it is that
Senator Lodge, who is chairman of the
committee on Philippines, rather enj ys
the position he holds as leader of the
senate, while this bill is under consid-
GRAFTON and because the young mepbers
of the committee on Philippines are
temporarily the leaders on their side.
OF course, Senator Lodge has urged a
vote very frequently, but he has not
seen fit to take earnest measures, such
as prolonged session, for the purpose
of bringing the minority to time and
making them finish their speeches
About one speech day is all that has
been made on the Philippine bill.

New Passenger Rate on Ali the Hartman
Lines In Oregon.
Portland, May 22.-Mr. Hartman
says that passenger fares on all his
lines in Oregon will be reduced to three
cents mile. He also says that the
arrangement made between him and
President Mellen involves letting the
Northern Pacific as we'll as the o. R.

iston to Wallula, and it gives the O..
R. & N. full benefit of the feeders of
the Northern Pacific in the Clearwater
valley. Speaking of the Columbia val
ley route,to the sea, MIR. Hartman says
the only grade in the whole route is the
bar at the mouth of the river, and he
recommends that Portland give it's at
tention to the problem of removing that
grade.
President Mellen says that the
Northern Pacific will bring its passen-
ger trains into Portland over the Van
couver bridge as soon as that structure
can be completed, in about two years,
but the Kalama ferry will continue to
transfer freight trains.

GEN. cHAFFEE's RETURN.
Had Satisfactory Interviews With Dattos Of
Mindanao.

Manila, May 21.-General Chaffee
returned here today from Lake Lanao,
in the interior of the island of Min
danao. He said he saw several Moro
Dattos while there and had most satis-
factory interviews with them.-- Nearly
all the Dattos and especially the sur
viving suItans claim TO entertain friend
iy feelings toward the United States.
In view of cablegram which Gem
eral Chaffee received today from Gen.
eral Davis, who is in command of the
American force in Mindanao, and in
which it appears that Datto Ruty has
apparently refused to return the ami
mails he captured from the American
army, General Chaffee is not prepared
to say that there will be no more fight
ing in Mindanao. General Davis re-
ports that Datto Ruty says he is ready
to fight, but General Chaffee believes
that although it may be necessary to
bring this Datto to terms, his resistance
of the American forces must necessarily
be slight.
Datto Ruty's forts are situated on
high hill. They could be surrounded
by line of skirmishers, who could
prevent the Datto from obtaining water
and who could thus force practically
bloodless victory in a few days.
