MORE SALARY FOR JUDGES.
Unitsd state. senate Passes Bin for 20
Per Cent. Increase Cabinet Officers
Are Left Out.


NasF,ngton, ID. O., Feb 5--'rhe Sem
ate yesterday by vote of 80 to 81,
passed the bill providing for 25 per
cent increase in the salaries Of United
States Judges. All amendments were
voted down. including one to increase
the salaries of Cabinet officers from
$4,000 to $l2. 500 year.
Mr. Bailey delivered his first speech
in the Senate in opposition to the bill
increasing salaries. He assumed. he
said. that the action of the Senate in
rejecting amendments to increase sal
aries of Senators and Repres entatives
and Cabnet officers was an expression
of the deliberate opinIon Of the SEN
ate. Personally he believed that 4se
present salaries Of Senators and Rep
resentatives were sufficient. Salaries
ought to be only such as will main
tain the recipient in decency and in
comfort othing more. He believed
that it mattered little what salaries
were paid government officials. as it
seemed to be a rule among Washing
ton people "to assess us so that We
shall have nothing left at the end Of
the year, anyhow.
He was of the opinion that the
curse of official life in Washington
was fast becoming the inability of the
poor man to meet the expenses Of
official station.

Washington. Feb. g. An early decis'
ion Is expected from the President or
the appe il of Rear Admiral w. >.
SchIey, and if the progress made hith.
erto in the case is maintained the an
nouncement of the action taken may
be made public on Saturday or Mon
day next. The President has practi'
cally completed his investigation and
is understood TO have made up his
mind on the more important points
involved in the apDeal.
The President fully has grasped the
intricate questions involved IN the de.
cision reached by the Court or Inqui-
ry. and at the Navy Department the
impression prevails that he will nm
questionably clole the case within the
next few days. setting forth his opin-
ion. he intends, shall end the contro-
versy as far as the Executive and Ma
w Department a.e concerned. What
tver may be the decision of the Pres
ident, it is recognized that further
attempts will be made to place Con-
gress emphatically on record. and
thbt the Maryland delegation will at
tempt to secure speedy action by the
House Naval Committee.

West and South, which will end here
on Friday morning. is said TO have
won him friends among the Western
and Southern members of Congress,
who will assist the Maryland delega-
tion in any plan that NAV be agreed
upon for concentrated effort. The
decision of the President, if favorable
to Admial Schley on the main points,
will at once be taken up and used IN
an endeavor to secure favorable &C
ton on some of the measures now be-
fore the House Naval Committee. II
it is adverse there Will be no hesitan-
cy in proceeding toward the same
end, though 1T is admitted that an ad-
verse decision NAV render the task OF
securing a report from the committee
more difficult.
The Navy Department. is confident
that the decision of the Court of In
quiry will be fully sustained. Some
of the prominent naval officers and
officials go further and insist that
the President will express his opinion
OF the subject in fashion that may
cause Admiral Schley's friends to re-
greet that he ever presented the ap-
peal.
February Admiral W. I. Sampson
will be placed ON the retired list under
the operation of the age clause. The
official order. however, will be pro-
mulgated on Saturday and the retire
ment will actually take effect on that
day 1t Is asserted that the President
will render his opinion coincidently
with the retirement of Admiral Samp-
son and that the Navy Department
will take occasion to publish general
order reciting the achievement OF that
officer.

 Ire farmers of the wheat belt of Oklahoma are buisy with the threshers. This IS the time or year when they see the visible re- suits of the long months of wait ing. One may stand on a knowl in Oklahoma and look off across the fields and see dozen puffing engines, making the hol1zon pie turesque as they keep as many seperators rattling in their work. The traction englne is the auto mobile Of the plain. It is the farmers approach to the luxury of the city resident, and has done more for him than any other one invention in recent years.
 The engine puffs through the fields and close behind follows the great red seperator with it's pipes and platforms. Then comes the cook shanty, like house on wheels. Next c,mes the water wagon and the coal wagon, and it makes all imposing procession as

HEIsTAND CASE REPORT.
No Reflection on Any Official Whose
Name Was Mentioned.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--The Senate com
Tnittee on military affairs to-day unani-
mously agreed on a report on the case
making charges against Lieut.. Col H. c. 5.
Heistand. of the army, and the report was
presented to the Senate by Senator Cock
rell as soon as that body was convened
The report contains a concise statement
of the facts in the case as brought out by
the inquiry and casts no reflection on any
of the officers of the government whose
names were mentioned in connection with
the case.
The report cites the charge quoted in the
resolution of inquiry that Colonel Hell
stand in 1899 was engaged in forming a
combination for the purpose of controlling
the hemp product of the Philippines and
that the names of Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn. Assistant Attorney General
Boyd, Assistant Secretary Allen and Adju-
tant General COrbin had been frequently
mentioned by him as associated with him
in the enterprise.
The committee finds that the charges
made in the first paragraph of the pre-
amble to the resolution is not true, the
Facts In that connection being that Colonel
(then major Heistand about May 1899,
proposed TO Maj. +. l.. Hawks, who had
been major of the Tenth Volunteer In
fantry, scheme for esta blishing a manu-
featuring plant in Manila for the hemp
product in those islands, and suggested
to Major Hawks to take charge of Ii,
which offer the latter accepted The COM
pany then prepared a prospectus and a
blank for the names of subscribers, but
the Incorporation of the company never
was consummated.
The committee finds that Heistand and
Hawks canvassed the possibility of interest
ing the government officials whose names
are mentioned in the resolution. 1t is
found that Heistand wrote to Hawks in
