MILITIA BILL PASSED.
Favorable Action Taken by the Sen.
ate Yesterday Afternoon.

After The Stars report Of the Senate
proceedings was closed yesterday afternoon
Mr.. McCumber continued his speech on the
statehood bill. He favored statehood for
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, and
compared the conditions existing in those
territories with those which prevailed in
Dakota before North and South Dakota
were admitted into the Union.
The House bill providing rebates Of the
duty on coal was favorably reported by the
finance committee, Mr.. Aldrich remarking
that the committees action was unanimous.
Mr.. Aldrich offered a committee amend
ment adding a new section to the bill pro-
viding that the provisions Of paragraph AS
of the Dingley act shall not hereafter be
construed to authorize the imposition of
any duty upon anthracite coal, thus pro-
viding for free coal. Mr.. Aldrich asked i'm
mediate consideration.
Mr.. Vest remarked that he hoped the bill
would pass without a single dissenting vote.
AS amended the bill passed unanimously.
The statehood bill was by unanimous
consent laid aside and the militia bill taken
ment, which was agreed to, striking out
all Of section "a of the bill regarding a re-
serve force Of 100000 trained men, which
has been the subject Of much discussion and
to which much objection has been made.
An amendment by Mr.. Beverage also
was agreed to exempting certain persons
having religious scruples against war from
serving in the militia. The bill then was
passed.
At 4:3O the Senate went into executive
session, and adjourned shortly afterward.

Monument to John Sherman.

A handsome memorial has lately been
placed in position at the graves of John
Sherman and his wife in Mansfield, Ohio,
cemetery. The monument Is built of gray
Westerly. r. l., granite. and is of massive
proportions, rectangular in form, the d.
mansions of the base being - in length by
feet 2 inches wide, and the total height 8
feet. In weight the structure approximates
thirty-two tons. In treatment the work Is
essentially plain. except for well-executed
Romanesque carvings at the corners Of the
die and second base The chaste severity
/, of the design appeals to one as being espe-
cially typical of the man whose life pur-
pose was the uplifting of the nation polit-
ically and morally and whose fidelity to
his convictions during his long term Of
public servitude was the subject of uni
versal comment and laudation

SUMMONED TO APPEAR.
Independent Coal Operators Will Be
Asked to Explain.

At the instance Of the Senate committee
on the District of Columbia subpoenas were
issued late yesterday afternoon summon
ing the following named Independent coal
operators to appear before the committee
to testify concerning the shortage Of the
coal supply in Washington: w. Beaumont
Whitney Of the firm of Whitneww & KEN
merer Of Philadelphia; w. D. Mason, rep
resenting the estate Of A. S. Van Wrinkle
of Philadelphia; James Lynch Of Lynch &
Reed, Baltimore, and Robert c. Hall Of
Hal Bros, Baltimore. These gentlemen
will be asked to appear before the COM
mittee at o'clock tomorrow The sub
poenas will be served by an assistant SER
geant-at-arms Of the Senate.
The effort will be made to corroborate or
disprove by these witnesses the statements
made by local dealers that the Independent
dealers are responsible for the high prices
of coal, and in order to avoid technical OBJ
jections to answering the inquiries made of
them the questions will be placed upon the
ground that the inquiry pertains to the
contracts under which coal is supplied to
the government.

HARD COAL ON THE FREE LIST.
Senate's Amendment Of Rebate Bill
Quickly Adopted.

| Anthracite coal was placed on the free
list yesterday. The bill which passed the
House at O'Clock rebating for one year all
duties on coal was at once taken up and
passed by the Senate, with section, which
was added without opposition or debate,
making anthracite free. The bill was hur-
rfed back to the House, and here the SEN
| ate amendment was greeted with applause
| on the part Of the democrats. and agreed to
by all without division. President Roose-
Welt signed the bill later in the evening.
This is the first breach of any kind to be
made In the Dingley tariff law, and was
| made practically without word of debate
| in either house of Congress.
What the effect of this legislation will be
on the importation Of coal into this country
Is only prob.ematical. When the bill pro-
viding simply for the rebate for one year
was under discussion In the House the
point was made by the democrats that by
reason Of this Limitation in time no addi-
tional capital would be invested in foreign
mines, nor would any additional force of
miners be added for the production of for
eign coal, for the reason that the American
market would only be temporary. Under
normal conditions it was also pointed out
that the United States was an exporter and
not an importer Of coal That the present
high price of coal has begun to attract for
eign coal to this country is known. A dele
cation of dealers from Baltimore was at
the SdpilOi yesterday " eilucdNOI " IiiihC
the bill just passed retroactive. They had
just paid the government $4,000 in duties on
cargoes of coal just received. Other large
shipments have been received at New Eng
land coast cities, and still more coal Is be-
ing negotiated for by American buyers in
foreign markets
The shipments from Canada, it is expect
ed, will also be considerable. This will be
welcomed along the border line. except in
the extreme west. In Washington and Mon
tana the competition of Canadian coal is
not looked on with favor, and the repre-
sentatives of those states in Congress voted
against the bill passed yesterday for this
reason.
The action taken yesterday is regarded
with satisfaction by legislators. 1t has met
the universal demand made upon Congress
for relief of some sort, and members Of
both houses are congratulating themselves
on the result That President Roosevelt
concurs in this sentiment was evidenced by
the alacrity with which he signed the meas
ure. which makes it effective at once.

Coal Held UP In Jersey.

The New York World Of today says:
Despite the orders issued by the New Jersey
Central railroad there arc nearly half
million tons Of anthracite coal held VI in
cars at points in New Jersey. within few
hours from New York. A curious apathy
seems to infect all the TGen who transfer
coal from the cars to the barges at biz
New Jersey ports from which coal Is trans
ported by water to this city. This is 40
tably SO at Perth Amhoy. New York cea.-
ers are begging by telephone by letter and
in person for more coal. >but the ssles
agents of the coal-carrylnG roads give theI.l
very little fuel and great many excuses.
