A Boom for Herndon.
To Be Made Transfer Point For Outlet Of

and concluded it would make hrst.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-01-22

The House passed yesterday an ex-
traordlnary and ludlcrous piece of leg
lslation with the alleged hope OF fe-
lieving the coal situation. The bill,
after having been rushed through the
House, came over TO the Senate, and
was Immediately taken up. The mea-
sure provided that all the duties on
coal should be collected but that they
should be rebated TO the importers tor
a period of one year. When it came
up in the Senate, however, the demo
Gratis made a unanimous charge and
it resulted IN the measures being so
amended as to place anthracite coal
on the free list permanently. The
House accepted the amendment and
the bill will 90 to the President today

mercc and Labor as that would mean
the creation of Bureau OF Corpora
tlon and could therefor be construed
as something accomplished. When
ever II is reported at tce Caqtol that
the President has threa; ened a certain
action. some Senator says "Ill tell
Teddy it will affect his nomination
and well hear no more Cf that, and
generally the Senator is right.
Xxx
The appointment of coIored man
as assistant District Attorney for Bos
ton is not one of these instances how
ever. Leaders in the South practically
dared the President to appoint a ne
gro to an important position in the
North and Mr.. Roosevelt can OF all
things, least stand "dare'. The ap
pointment promises to lose him many
votes in the Bay State.

The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations has decided to report the
Cuban treaty, but they did not dare to
do 50 without pledging the United
States to make no further concession
on the duty on sugar than is now pro-
vlded Icy the treaty, 20 pei cent from
the Dingley rates. By this means
they have probably effectualIy blocked
the negotiation of any reciprocity
treaty with a sugar producing country
as the treaty provides f or 20 per
cent dfferential IN favor of Cuba.

The Statehood bill still holds its
place on the Senate calender but the

ing sentiment in his favor for the next
candidate for the presidency on the
democratic ticket. Judge Alton b.
Parker was elected Chlel Judge OF the
court of appeals OF New York state,
which posuou he nov holds, having
declined to accept the nomination for
governor of the state last fall. 1t is
now recalled - New York gave Mr.
Roosevelt on' 5000 majority fol
Governor and there is reason to belt
eve that his popularity IN his own
state is waning Lat fall Governor
Odell was elected by only 5000 plural
ity and it is the conviction of manyNew
Workers that Judge Parker could have
carried the state into the democratic
column. New York has 80 votes in
the electoral college and it is believed
that with Mr. Roosevelt as republican
candidate and Judge Parker healing
the democratic ticket the latter would
carry all those votes.

WASHINGTON.
From our Repular Correspondent.

FROM our Regular Correspondents
Washington, January 10, 1903.
An attack almost as cutting as that
Senator Hill made on the protective
democrats in the Senate when the
Wilson bill was under consideration
was made this week by Senator Doll-
yer of Iowa TO the utter CONSERVATION
of his high protection colleagues.
Mr.. Dolliver states what every news
paperman knows to be fact, that the
rates in the Dngley bill were placed
far higher than was deemed necessary
from the standpoint OF protection with
view to leaving margin for trading
purposes, that is, with the expectation
that the duties would be reduced by
the negotiation of reciprocity treaties.
Senator Vest made this statement sew
eral days ago and it was immediately
contested by Senators Aldrich, Hale
and other extreme protectonlsts. Its
confirmation by Senator Dolllver, him
self republican, was, therefore, from
the standpoint of the republicans,
most lnjudlcious and damaging ad-
mission and the criticisms of the Iowa
Senator were severe in the extreme.
Xxx
"More violence has been done to
the prospective system by the stold,
| quiet, uncommunicatlve failure OF the
Senate to take action upon the reci-
procity treaties than all the noise made
by the democrats on coaP' said Mr..
Doliver. He charged that it re
NAMED reproach on Congress that
not one line of the wisdom OF James
G.. Blame remained on the statute
books and not step had been taken
to fulfill the purpose and spirit of the
last Buffalo address OF President Nc
Knley. The interjection OF what
they term fhe "lowa idea in the
Senate is regarded as the first gun II
what promises to become eventually
a long and bitter light between those
senators who are In a measure respon
sve to the wishes of their constituent:
and that class which IS wholly subservl
ent to the protected interests Of thel
states.

Caused a Sensation.

This incident created decided sensation
The public expected that the cardinal would
be rebuked for the act and admon,shed not
to repeat 1t. but it is understood that RAM
polla avoided further reference to the mat
ter. A year or two later. when King Hum
bert and the Queen Margarita visited
Venice to witness the launching of q
cruiser, Cardinal Sarto not only again ex-
changed formal visits with them, but ac-
cepted an invitation from the minister OF
marine to participate in the ceremonies.
He blessed the new ship. standing upon the
same platform with the king and the civil
officials, and attended q banquet and other
functions given in their honor.
Two months before the death Of Leo XIII

again participated In tho formal proceed

precedence over all civil officials. and came
next after the king and queen themselves.
When he called at the palace to pay his
respects to the king the latter happened to
be engaged with the project. the Official OF
