Disinclined TO Report.

Mr.. Loud is the chairman Of the sub
committee which has the bill under con-
sideration. and is dlslnclined TO report
it 20 the full committee 1t is probable,
however, that Mr.. Loud will agree to
allow the committee to vote on 1t before
the close Of the session.
Thousands of communications have
been received by members of the com
miltee and other members of the
House, and have been referred TO the
Committee on PostOfiices These come
from business men as well the letter
carriers themselves, and every legiti-
mate effort has been made TO place the
case before the committee fairly.

Important Legislation Be-
fore House Judiciary
Committee.
MAY Be CONSIDERED TOMORROW
One to Regulate Hours Of Labor and
Another to Change Inaugural Date
Opposition to First, Latter Strongly
Advocated.

There are two important measures
row pending before the House Judiciary
Committee, the consideration OF which
may be renewed when the committee
meets tomorrow. Both are resolutions
proposing amendments to the Constitu-
tion.
One provides an amendment to the
Constitution to give Congress the power
to regulate the hours of labor in manu-
featuring establishments. There is con-
siderable opposition to this resolution.
The other resolution is to change the
date of the inauguration from March 4
to the last Thursday in April.
Several hearings have been given by
the committee to persons advocating tho
change of the date of inauguration. and
in addition the committee has been we'll
supplied with printed arguments on the
subject. This is not a new matter. for
it has been agltated before Congress for
the past ten years or more.

Adjournment in Doubt.

Predictions by prominent members Of
the House that the session will end by
July do not find many adherents on the
Senate side of the Capitol After the
canal bill has been gotten out of the
way the Cuban reciprocity legislation
will be taken up and on the surface at
least the Senate seems to be quite as
far away from solution Of this problem
as it was when the bill came over from
the House several weeks ago.
The District appropriation bill is wait
ing in the Appropriation Committee for
the vote on the Philippine bill. much as
the canal bill is waiting in the Senate.
The bill presents number of compli-
Gated and important questions in Dis
lrict finances. in addition to the single
one Of the yearly appropriation.

fought over and a number of opponents

ALASKA SALMON CULTURE
BILL COMES UP TODAY
To Maintain and Increase
the Normal Product.
Mr.. Sulzer Believes His Measure Will
Become Law-Says Steps to Pro-
tect Industry Are Necessary.

Among the bills TO be called up by
unanimous consent in the House today is
the Sulzer bill, reported unanimously
from the Committee on Territories. to
encourage salmon culture in Alaska. and
for the protection of persons engaged
in the production thereof.
The bill was called up last week by
Representative sulzer, but at the requst
of Representative Cannon. who wanted
time to examine the report. it went over
until today.
To Maintain and Increase Product.
The purpose of the bill is to maintain
and increase the normal product of
salmon in Alaska.
Representative Sulzer having spent
considerable time in Alaska, is thor
oughly familiar with the subject Speak
ing Of the measure, he said yesterday:
The destruction OF the salmon fishery
on the Atlantic coast deminstrates be-
yond any question that some steps are
necessary to be taken to protect and
preserve this great and valuable source
OF food supply on the Pacific coast or 1t
will ultimately meet the same fate.
The provisions OF the bill VIII give
the necessary protection AID encourage
ment to private citizens to invest their
capital and labor in the work Of prop
agating young salmon, which are abso-
lutely needed TO replenish and increase
the natural supply, which is now being
steadily exhausted, and which unless
some such action is taken by the Gov
ernment will be finally exterminated.
This law will not only keep up the pres
ent supply. but will enormously increase
the normal supply.
Equal Rights Given.
THE proposed law simply gives to
parties legal right to property they
create from the waste OF nature at their
own cost and without taking anything of
value from the public domain. II they
produce ten where nature produced but
one. they surely should have the right to
the increase. They also enrich the
waters outside the protected zone by
thousands of fish that will be public
property.
No title in fee simple is asked. mere
ly a lease that need not be renewed
unless its continuation should seem just
and proper The bill also provides that
these leases shall be subject to repeal
by Congress at any time. in case the
public interests may demand.
NO person or corporation will have
a monopoly of any stream. All have
equal rights And no individual can have
more than cne franchise. or corporation
more than one for each cannery actually
operated The rights of Indians are more
than protected. as they have free access
for food purposes to the artificial prod
uct, and in common with others to the
normal product. Fishing with hook and
line is free to all.
Il feel quite confident there will be
no opposition to the passage OF the
bill"
The Washington times., 1902-06-02
May Go to House.

1t is not improbable that the resolu
tion will be reported to the Houes this
month with the De Armond amend
ment. which provides change of dato
for the beginning and ending Of the term
OF Congressman. The passage OF the
resolution through the House would
simply mean that the whole question
would be submitted to the people, and it
would not involve dollar Of expense to
the Government. The resolution to be
effective must be adopted by three
fourths of the State Legislatures. 1t
would take at least several years before
Congress would have to pass upon the
question again.

HOUSE MEMBERS
PLAYED POLITICS
Views of Mr.. Kern on Anti
Liquor Amendment.
Illinois Representative Speaks in
Caustic Vein of Recent Action by
House of Representatives.

The anti-lIquor resolution adopted by
the House is not taken seriously by the
Capitol restaurant keepers and members
who want drinks served.
The House and Senate have time and
again adopted resolutions to prohibit the
sale OF liquor in the Capitol. but the
action of one house has never been con-
CURED in by the other.
Only wine and beer are sold on the
Senate side. rule adopted several years
ago prohibiting the sale of whisky. On
the House side. however. the thirsty
member of Congress can get any kind
of drink he desires.
81 was one OF the nineteen members
who voted against the amendment to
the immigration bill to prohibit the
sale of liquors in the House and Senate
restaurants" said Representative Kern
OF Illinois, yesterday. ''and If the ma
iority had not played politics the amend
ment would never have carried
IF the majority in Congress did not
want liquor sold in the Capitol 1t would
not be there for sale. The Speaker could
issue an order today forbldiing the sale
OF liquor in the House restaurant. and
none would thereafter be sold. And a
similar order could be issued by the
Committee on Rules in the Senate. and
the Senate restaurant would go dry. So
you see the absurdity Of passing reso-
lutions or amending bills TO prohibit
the sale of liquor in the Capitol.
The Ultimate Result.
But what would be the result If the
Members and Senators were denied the
privilege Of buying drinks in the House
and Senate restaurants? ?" asked Mr..
Kern.
why, will tell you he said, answer
ing his own question. 1T would convert
all the committee rooms into just so
many canteens well stocked with liquor.
And the next thing TO follow would be
the sound of poker chips.
To prohibit the sale of liquor as
now carried on In the Capitol building
would be to give an impetus to intem-
perance, and many members who now
and then take drink. would feel the re-
straint and the result would be that
they would seek the seclusion of the
room and there perhaps. in
dulge beyond the limit.
Views of the Speaker.
Il think the Speaker entertains this
view ard. therefore, does not subscribe
TO the narrow, fanatical views of the
temperance zealots and the politicians
who work the temperance cause for all
there is in II. Otherwise he would issue
an order closing the House RESTAURANT
bar
III man wants drink he has the
right 10 buy II. And seldom does harm
result when 1t Is done in the open. That
little anti-liquor amendment tackled on
to the immigration BILL added Mr..
Kern. was nothing more nor less than
a piece Of buncombe and IL will fool no
one save some very ignorant person.
And the members who voted for the
amendment knew 1t better than anyone
else

General Debate in Senate
on Measure at
an End.
CANAL LEGISLATION NEXT
Adjournment Still Very Much in Doubt
Cuban Reciprocity to Be Discussed
at Length-District Relief Bill Still
in Committee.

The Senate will take a long step to-
ward completing its business for the
session during the coming week the
Philippine civil government bill, gem
orally considered to be the most i'm
portant Of the session, will be passed.
and the canal legislation, carrying out
in some form another of the important
projects of the session. Will be taken
up and probably well started toward
completion.
The general debate on the Philippine
bill closed at Saturday nights session.
and two days, today and tomorrow, will
be given up to fifteen minute speeches
on the bill and on amendments, num-
ber Of which are to be offered.
The vote will be taken tomorrow after
noon. 1t will be a strictly party vote
with one or two exceptions. Senator
Morgan and possibly Senator Pettus Will
vote with the Republicans. Senator Hoar.
who is not in sympathy with the Admin
istration on the bill. is expected TO vote
for it nevertheless, as he did for the
Philippine tariff bill.
Canal Bill in Sight.
The canal bill will be taken up on
"Wednesday. There are indications that
the friends of the Panama route will
make vigorous endeayor to secure the
passage of the Spooner substitute for
the Hepburn bill, but present indica-
tions are that the Nicaraguan route has
much the larger number of friends.
The report of the minority of tho
canal committee made to the Senate
Saturday favors the Spooner amend
ment II is a bulky document and goes
into every phase of the question. One
of its most interesting chapters is de-
voted to the subject of earthquakes and
volcanoes, the minority having secured
the benefit OF the Martinique disaster as
an object lesson by waiting until the
last moment with their report. The
evidence on the subject is conflicting.
MIR. Morgan a week or more ago got out
a compilation from the researches of his
committee to show that there is prac-
tically no danger from either volcanoes
or earthquakes along the Nicaraguan
route, while earthquake shocks in Pan
ANA have been much more numer-
Gus. The minority. however, assert
that the situation is just the reverse,
there being the gravest danger from
both volcanoes and earthquakes to the
more northern route and practically
none 10 the southern.
All of these matters win be thor
oughly thrashed out. it is believed, in the
Senate, together with every other phase
OF the question. Predictions as to the
length of the debate are various. but it
seems to be the general opinion that it
will occupy at least two weeks and pos
sibly four.
