Proceedings.
In the Senate,


Washington. Jan. 6.-When the sen.
ate reconvened yesterday after the
holiday recess, few senators were alb.
sent. Almost Immediately a discus
sion began regarding the coal sltua-
ton. Mr.. Lodge prefaced his introduc-
ton of a bill suspending for ninety
days the duty on coal with the state
ment that in New England there was
much distress owing to the scarcity OF
coal, and that unless relief was az
forded at once number oil factories
would have to shut down. He was
aware, he said, that bill should orig.
mate In the house of representatives,
but IL was his desire to call the attel-
ton of the finance committee To the
state of affairs. Mr.. Culberson fol
lowed with a resolution providing for
the rerIoval of the duty on anthracite
coal and asked its immediate consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Plat Of Connecticut OBJ
jected. saying IL was his understand.
ing that there was no duty on apthra'
cite coal. Mr.. Vest took exception to
this statement and said that the board
of general appraisers and President
Roosevelt had decided that such a
duty is imposed. Mr. Vest also intro
duced a resolution on the subject.
Another resolution bearing on the sub
ject, introduced by Mr.. Jones OF Ar
kansas, recited the charge Of w. K.
Hearst that there was an illegal COM
bination among certain railroads To
control the shipment of anthracite
coal, and called on the attorney gen.
eral for the evidence which it was al
legged had been secured by him. 1t
caused lively debate, in which sew
eral Republican senators vigorously
resented what they thought was re-
Election on the attorney general. The
discussion continued until O'Clock,
when the resolution went over, being
displaced by the omnibus statehood
bill. Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota ad-
dressed the senate in opposition to the
bill and favored single statehood for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. At 4
o'clock the senate adjourned.
In the House.
The house resumed work yesterday
after a recess OF two weeks, but within
two hours the machinery broke down
for lack of quorum The bill to Gre
ate a general staff in the army was the
issue. An attempt was made to pass
II under suspension of the rules, which
requires q two-thirds majority. Al
though all the members OF the minor
ity of the military committee in-
dorsed 1t opposition developed because
of the hurried manner in which IL
was proposed to pass the bill, and rhe
diyision-10S to 59--developed that il
did not command the support of two
thirds of those present. A call of the
house followed but the roll call showed
about 80 less than a quorum and the
house adjourned.

In The Senate.

Washington, Jan. THE day In the
senate was eventful because OF a nota-
BILE speech by Senator Hoar on his
bill regulating trusts and an attack by
Senator Vest on protected industries
through the operation OF the Dingley
law. Senator Hoar's utterances were
listened to with marked attention. He
said that nearly all thoughtful men In
this country are agreed that some leg
islation, state or national, ought to be
had for the regulation and control Of
what are called trusts" and all large
masses of capital accumulated by
corporations or artificial persons hold.

without individual liability. There
was, he said, general feeling of inse.
curity and alarm about the matter, and
we were dealing with real peril and
not with a fancy or imaginary danger
He argued that II his bill should be-
come law and prove effective no cor
poration engaging in the commerce
which Is within the Jurisdiction of
congress can keep It's condition secret.
The bill, he said, depends for its val
idity on the constitutional power Of
congress to regulate international and
interstate commerce.
Senator Vest used as a text for his
remarks his resolution introduced on
Monday instructing the committee on
finance to prepare and report bill re-
moving the duty on coal. Feeble in
the extreme and supporting himself on
his desk, he called attention 10 the
condition Of distress which had arisen
as result of the shortage OF the coal
supply. He said that the question was
no longer partisan one, but one of
humanity, and that we are not on the
verge OF crisis, but actually in IL.
Mr.. Aldrich took exception TO some
of Mr.. Vests statements and at his re.
quest the resolution went over until TO-
day, when MIR. Aldrich will make re-
ply.

brief executive session.
