NATIONAL SENATE.
Currency Bili--credentials Questioned
- Senator Quay objects.

I
Senator Quay objects.
Washington. Jan. 26.-The senate
committee on the Philippines today de-
cided to substitute the committee cur
rency bill for the house bill and report
/ it to the senate. The senate dill is the
same as that reported from the house
committee on insular affairs which
was defeated in the house last week.
Antitrust Bill.
The senate committee on Interstate
commerce unanimously agreed to re-
port the Elkins antitrust bill with
some amendments that the sub-com-
mittee is perfecting.
His Credentials Questioned.
Senator Morgan, chairman of the
Inter-Ocean canal committee, today
offered in the senate resolutions ques-
tioning the credentials of Thomas Her
ran, charge daffaires of Co.ombia, who
recently signed with Secretary Hay
the Isthmian canal treaty.
Mr.. Aldrich Immediately made the
point that that subject must be con-
sidered in executive session. The sem
ate went into executive session.
The point which Senator Morgan
made was tnat the validity of the gov
eminent, which accredited Herran to
the United States, was doubtful and
should be inquired into by the United
States.
AS soon as the doors were closed.
Morgan discussed the subject at some
length. He said there had not been
an election in Colombia since 1898, and
it was questionable whether the pres
ent acting government had authority
to send representative to the United
States.
senator Morgan's resolution relat
ing to Senior Herran was, after consid
cradle discussion in executive session,
referred to the committee on foreign
relations.
Tilt Between Hale and Quay.
Soon after the senate met today, MIR.
Platt, of New York, presented report
from the committee on printing and
asked for its consideration.
To this Mr.. Quay. of Pennsylvania,
objected.
Mr.. Hale, of Maine. said the objec-
| tion was extraordinary and that things
had come to pretty pass of privileged
reports from the committee on print
| ing could not be considered. He said
Quay had confiscated the time Of the
senate from o'clock and now sought
to confiscate the morning hours in the
interest of the statehood bill. He hoped
Mr.. Platt would move to take up the
printing resolution.
Mr.. Quay replied that there had been
a great deal of sneering on the floor
of the senate" about his action. He
was simply Carrying out the will Of the
majority of the senate. Those who
were making complaints could relive
all pressure by allowing vote on the
statehood bill He said he was tired of
"being lectured and hectored by the
senator from Maine"
Hale said Quay was mistaken il he
thought the majority OF the senate was
with him in obiecting to a proposition
such as printing matters for the con-
yenience of the senate.
Mr.. Cockrell then made the point
that under the rules a single objection
carried the resolution over and he was
sustained by President Pro TEN Frye
The credentials of Mr.. Alger, recent
| ly elected senator from Michigan, was
presented and the oath of Office ad-
ministered TO him.

only $500 insurance. Mr.. Horn is loca-

a fine general merchandising business
but lately the town had been declining
and Mr.. Horn was on the eve of seeking
another location. He therefore allowed

On Santa Fe Mountain.

Operations on Santa Fe Mount
ain are more spirited at the present
time than they have been before
in the history of the district. So
far the results would indicate that
many OF these propositions will be-
come prof, earning with less ex-
penditure for development than
those in any ether section Of the
district. The Coming Nation prop
erty is shipping some and II is the
expressed belief of those Efamiliar
with the.cassatt- Homestake prop
erty that it will soon sbe on that
list.
The Cedar Ridge Mines and
Tunnel company owning six claims
lust above the Coming Nation on
Soda Creek has started its tunnel
on a mammoth vein nearly seven
feet in width. While the vein is
broken aud irregular al surface
the fact that it contains good min
erai has been proven from assays
taken from shafts above on the
line OF the tunnel This company
is financed BY Eastern capital and
and w. A. kalp. of Mt. Pleasant,
Pa. Is secretary of the company
with J .. +. Pierson, of kenton,
Mich president. The tunnel as
started i a beauty. seven feet in
the clear and made in the most
substantial manner.
The Cominiug Nation shaft is
now down about twenty feet This
was sunk from the tunnel level
and values are increasing generous
u with depth II Is the intention
of the company to sink this Wine
fifty feet and then drift under the
ore chute which produced the
values running as high as sos 600
to the ton.
The Cassatt Homestake is doing
the preliminary work preparatory
TO a good start upon the return OF
Superintendent Cassatt from his
trip East. This company has
abundant cash on hand to proceed .
with work in lively way.
These propositions have oeen
promoted and financed by the
Fred G.. Shatfer Investment com
pany and at the present time in
connection with the Federal are
giving EN- ployment to from four
teen to twenty men and mean con-
siderable for the district.
