Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-02-21

There was a lively debate in the Sen
ate on Wednesday over Senator Quay's
resolution declaring it to be the sense
of the Senate that there should be a vote
on the statehood bill before the adjourn
ment of Congress. TO this proposition
Senator McComas reoffered Senator
Platt's closure resolution introduced two
years ago, and a motion was made to
refer the whole proposition to the Com
mittee on Rules. This was pending when
the Senate went into executive session.
The discussion of the subject brought out
the fact that the Senate was strongly
opposed to cloture in any form. The
debate was very general, a dozen Sela-
tors expressing their opinions on the
subject. The House by majority of 2
to / rejected the conference report on the
army appropriation because of its pro-
visions for the retirement of civil war
officers at an advanced grade, and per-
hitting officers to deposit money with
the government at 3 per cent interest
The House emphaticalIy voted against
both propositions and sent the bill back
to conference. The proceedings on the
conference report were enlivened by a
sharp personal clash between Mr.. Hull,
of Iowa, and Mr. Slayden, of Texas.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to the naval bill. Slow progress was
made, only twenty pages being covered.

The plan to amalgamate the Core Makers
International Union with the Iron holders
Union OF North America, recommended by
the core makers convention last fall In
Cincinnati. has been ratified by a referen-
dunn vote by a large majority, according to
statement by President John r.. O'Leafy.
The name of the combined organizations
will be the Iron Molders' Union. Steps
will be taken at once to merge the organi-
cations, but 1t will likely take several weeks
to complete the consolidation. Both organ
izations have headquarters in Cincinnati.
The Core Makers Union has a membership
of about six thousand. 1t was founded in
Cincinnati eight years ago.
The wholesale dealers, in session at
Washington, are opposed to any ironclad
agreement which Will restrict the sale of
their products TO any retailer in specified
localities, but argue that this question
must be settled by local and other condi-
tions and that individual cases must be
treated their merits They express
themselves as in favor of arbitration to
settle any misunderstanding that may
arise between wholesalers and retailers in
disposing of their products in any locality.
The members Of the Western Retailers
Association. while contending there should
be well-defined limits in the business of
the wholesalers, are willing that disputed
questions OF this character between the
wholesalers and retailers should be referred
to arbitration. The Eastern retailers are
opposed to arbitration.
Reviewing Germanys commercial record
for the past year, Consul General Frank H..
Mason, OF Berlin, in a report TO the State
Department, declares that while a few
branches of manufacture and trade expert
enced a partial recovery, the year as a
whole belonged To the period of overproduc-
ton. collapse and panic which began in the
summer of 1900. and has caused the condi-
ton still prevalent wherein prices of food
and raw materials are above all logical re-
lation to the market values of finished
products. Bank dividends and balances, the
report says show a decided Improvement
for 1902 over the previous year. and textile
Industries. especially the wool branch, also
make favorable showing. Depression is
noted in the iron and steel situation,
though this in some degree mas been re-
lieved by heavy shipments 20 the United
States during the autuTn and winter
months.

SANITARY AGENTS MoBBED.
Attacked by Ignorant Mexicans-
Lives of Doctors Threatened.

MAZATLAN, Mexico, April 4-Governor
Canedo has received a telephone message
that serious disturbances have occurred at
Villa Union the result of efforts made by
the sanitary officials to prevent the spread
of the plague there. More than one hum
dred men of the lower class attacked the
sanitary agents sent from this city and
wounded one of them. The agents escaped
and could not be overtaken by the mob,
which threw rocks and drove them out of
the pueblo. The mob then began to hunt
up Drs. Carbajal and Burton, whom the
people consider responsible for the burning
of two houses where plague cases occurred,
and declared they would kill them to stop
further destruction of houses.
The Governor has ordered detachment
of the Eleventh Infantry to proceed to Villa
Union. The rurales have also been sent.
Every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent the spread of the plague. DIR. Carba-
jail, who was there yesterday, states that
two fatal cases have occurred. The persons
who dealt with them have been isolated.
Villa Union is on the road to the interior
country. so that no efforts will be omitted
to check the epidemic at that point The
epidemic was carried there by people who
are constantly migrating from this port.
There was one death in Mazatlan city to-
day from the plague and that was a one
year-old girl. There are now 1856 persons
isolated and under observation.

The Joint High Commission.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The action of
Congress in striking out in conference an
item appropriating $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses of the high joint commission, while
regretted at the State Department, will
not be allowed to prevent the reassembling
of the commission next summer. The Pres
ident, it is held. is not obliged to look to
Congress for authority to appoint commits
sioners for which he must himself assume
ultimate responsibility. The action of Con-
greSs, therefore, does not affect the Official
status of the United States commissioners
headed by Senator Fairbanks. 1t does make
necessary the adoption OF more economi-
cal programme for the future work of the
commission than was originally framed, but
1T Is found possible to reassemble the COM
mission and pay the expense out of the con-
tingency fund of the State Department
Senator Fairbanks and Sir Wilfred Laurier
the latter the head of the Canadian COM
mission, are accordingly in correspondence
with view to arranging a date for the
reassembling of the commission.
