Debate in the Senate for the remaining
ten days OF the extraordinary session is
likely to bring to the front some further
discussion based on phases of the Cuban
reciprocity question. This was indicated
yesterday when a numoer of Senators
took occasion to express their views. at
moro or less length, in connection with
the Newlands joint resolution TO invite
Cuba to join the Union.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado has announced
his intention Of going into the matter
more at length. and other Senators are
expected 10 make comment to offset
some of the singing sarcasm and par
tisan charges made yesterday by Mr..
Carmack of Tennessee.
The Senate will be in session at least
twice in the coming week, TO meet con-
stitutional requirements. and may sit
oftener if il seems desirable to put
views on record relating to the long
pending reciprocity treaties negotiated
by John A. KGsson, and other matters
brought out by the Tennessee Senator in
his fiery speech. Mr.. Spooner Of Wis
consin intends to speak. and Mr.. Dolli-
yer of Iowa. who was personally ar
raigned by Mr.. Carmack on the tariff
question, may take hand In the de-
bate.
Mr.. Newlands Explains.
When Mr.. Carmack had concluded his
speech yesterday, Mr.. Newlands took the
floor to explain some criticisms on his
Cuban resolution. He referred to the
comment that Porto Rico. without her
consent. was to be annexed TO Cuba.
This, he declared. was incorrect, as the
bill provided only for inquiring the
wishes of both Cuba and Porto Rico and
inviting them to join this country.
Il claim to be the friend of Cuba he
said. and in presenting this miItter as
did. I have only referred to history as
it has been written in the records of
this Congress. The effect of the resolu-
ton is to sustain the credit of Cuba and
not to injure II.
Mr.. Teller followed Mr.. Newlands,
and said ne might speak at length on

One story told locally in connection
with the Seaboard deal is to the effect
that Morgan was forced TO absorb the
Seaboard to protect the Southern and
the friendly Atlantic Coas, Line. which
controls the Louisville and Nashville
This is an echo of the war with Gates
1t is said that Gates had something TO
do with the traffic deal between the
Seaboard Air Line, the Frisco, AID the
Rock Island. and that Morgan and his
associates Joined Ryan and the others,
who have been endeavoring for long
time to get control of the Seaboard.

INDIAN SCANDAL LIKELY TO
COST HITCHCOCK HIS HEAD

holder in the same trust company as
Chairman Bixby, namely, the Canadian
Valley. At the time the company
was organized it was part of the agent S
duties to pass on the value of the
lands which the Indians were to sell
and which it was proposed the trust
company was to buy.
The Indian territory scandal is like
ly to cost Secretary Hitchcock his
place in the cabinet. Whatever abuses
have grown up have developed dur
ing Mr.. Hitchcock administration,
and in consequence of lax supervls-
ion. The Indian inspector, who is
the secretary's personal representative
on the ground, is as deep in the mire
as the agent or any of the Dawes
commissioners. Instead of reporting
facts to the secretary, he permitted
members of his Office force to specu
late in town site lots which it was his
duty to plat and appraise. Either the
secretary of the interior has been Woe
fully ignorant of goings on in the Indian
territory, or he has been culpably neg
ligent.
But what win reflect more damag-
ingly on Secretary Hitchcock is the
fact that the inquiry had to come from
the president. The interior depart
ment never has taken any step tc
purge itself of the accusations which
have been brought. As soon as tbs
charge of crookedness was brought
against postal officials an official Of
the postoffice department Vas designat-
ed to probe it to the bottom. So, as
soon as Brosius charged that the
agents Of the department of justice
had been grating, three special inspec-
tors were hurried to the scene and a
thorough investigation made, which
resulted in a number of discharges and
arrests, But all this time the secretary
OF interior continued 10 ignore charges

LIFE BECOMES MORE SIREN
UOUS.

To the Editor, Dear Sir: I would
like to compare the decreased chance
for young men today with opportuni-
ties when | started in life. 20 years
ago. | think wages have grown more
and more scant, and in time this coun-
try will become like Ireland. There
Is no question in my mind that it il
harder and harder for young man
in this western country even to own
his own home. Is not the price Of
land and material going higher, wages
lower? am positive, looking back
at my own life, that men have to work
much harder today than they did %
years ago. Twenty Years ago compar-
atively no exertion was needed by a
farmer. He had a good price for every
thing that he could put on the mar
ket. A good horse was worth $3.50,
today $50; grain today SIS cents, then
80 cents to sl.0O bushel. | have seen
wheat sell for $l.25 right near Salem.
OF late years we have sold it as low
az AZ to So cents. This is only one
illustration among hundreds of the in
creased cost of living and the dimin-
ished incomes of our people of Wash
ington. When and where will it stop?

WASHINGTON, Nov. BIT now
Heems probably that the Dawes in
dian commission will be abolished
Enough facts have developed to put
the entire commission in a very bad
light, and if the president does not
act on the recommendation of his
special commissioner, Charles j. Bona
parte. it is quite certain that con-
gressional committee would bring about
the same result. The same policy Will
result in the removal or transfer of
Indian Inspector Wright, Indian Agent
Schoenfelt, and an entire reorganiza
ton Of the management Of the terri
tory.
Mr. Bonapsrte has talked with
Chairman Bixby of the Dawes Indian
commission, and has prosecuted his in
quiries in other Why's in Washington,
and he expects to complete the inquiry
by a visit to the territory. Mean

Richard Neitz. commonly called
by his friends Little Dick was won
derfully brought out after years of sin.
He commenced life as a cabin boy
and sailed to many foreign ports. He
followed the sea until he was a man.
Finally he came to Seattle; gave up
the sea- went to work in a machine
shop. He was skilful, but gambling
and drinking kept him down. He serv-
ed the devil faithfully, and he was
paid, as usual, by the devil but he
had no money in his pocket and was
poorly clad. In this condition he came
to the door where We were holding
meetings, in our Mt. Carmel mission
He looked in. invited him in. We
talked with him. He said: Il never
had anyone talk to me before about
Gods saving so great sinner as me.
He finally fell on his knees, while we
prayed for the sailor boy, so far from
home, without friend in the wide
world. God touched his heart and he
arose changed man. Such happy
face! Little Dick" could not read i
word. but within few months he
could read the Bible lesson in English
He gave God the glory and, until the
day of his death, declared that God
taught him the English language, so ne
could read his Bible. which he studied
night and day, carrying it with him
to the workshop. Oh what blessing.
His old life all changed. He saved his
money; he bought three lots in Green
Lake, built small house and lived a
life that WAS an example to everyone.
He worked every day in the shop,
every night in the mission; always had
money to help some poor unfortunate.
The day of judgment will reveal the
many dear ones who were helped.
One day we searched everywhere for
the dear boy. until his body was found
floating in Green lake, On the judy

him, and he will receive his crown
with the rest of the faithful. We bur

final gathering. while a host of his

they lowered him to his resting place,
