TOO FREE WITH ADVICE
SENATOR HoAR cRITIcIsEs THE
 PRESIDENT.
Says the Time for Executive to Dis cuss Measures is After They
 Have Been Passed by Congress.

Washington. Jan. M.-Toward the end of the day in the Senate. Mir. Hoar criticized the President for expressing his approval or disapproval of bills bsfore Congress had acted on them. His re. marks were called forth by MT. Burton's request for the passage of e bill which, he said, had been vetoed once by the President but that in its present shape is satisfactory to the President.
 There was a disinclination to take the matter up and finally MT. Hoar criticized the President for having indicated to Mr. Burton his approval of the measure. It is being continually stated in the news papers, said Mir. Hoar, ''that such and such bills are administration measures and that a set of Senators had called on the President and made arrangements for the Senate's action on trust bills, the Statehood Abi1l and other measures. The time for the President to make up his mind about statutes is after we have passed them and not before. unless he avails himself of his constitutional privi- lege to make communication to the entire body by message"
 The discussion was ended by Mir. Spooner moving an adjournment which was carried and at o'clock the Senate adjourned.

 Mir. Lessler was again bafors the sub- committee today at both the morning and afternoon sessions and submitted to d rather vigorous cross examination.

 MT.

THE HOUSE

 Tbe interesting feature of the day was the introduction of the general revsnue bill regarded as the most important meas ure which will come before the present session of the Legislature.
 Discussions or speeches of any sort have 90 far been conspicuous by their absence from the proceedings of the House. The House until yesterday had no time or occasion for speechmalIing.

A SURPRISE
 FOR SEIlE Quay's Mo, Bombshell ]. to b$alniStratiOn. NOW WAR TO THE KNIFE Statehood Bill or Nothing, Says Pennyslvanian. An Extra Session of Congress May Be the Result If the Existing
 Deadlock is Not
 Soon Broken.
NOW WAR TO THE KNIFE

Washington, Jan. 2.-(speciaLl 1.-The most dramatic and the cleverest act of his long career was played by Senator Quay this afternoon when he antagonized motion in the Senate to cease for the moment discussion of the Statehood bill and so into executive session.
 Such a motion is made every day and is not upon the average resisted once in tha life of g Congress.
 Quite innoeently and in perfect good faith the venerable and beloved Senator Cullom. Chairman Of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee and therefore floor lead CT of the Republican majority. broke in upon the proceedings with the customary motion that the Senate so into executive session, the subject of the moment under discussion being the House bill to admit Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma into the Union as States.
 Quick as a bolt from the blue, yet with the utmost nonchalance. Senator Quay moved to lay the motion on the table and his motion prevailed by 37 to 27. Literal ly the Senate was caught mapping, and the result Of the vote would seem to make It certain that the Senate must either pass the Statehood bill O. forego all oth- or legislation save appropriation bills and including the Cuban treaty and the pros pective antitrust measure.
 Dramatic But Comical.
 Nothing more dramatic or in a sense more comicaI has been witnessed in the Senate in years. All the morning the President had been in conference with Beveridge and other Senators who are presumed to represent his views. and when the local White House organ came out in the afternoon 1t was as chirpy as could be regarding what was considered the waning fortunes of the Statehood bill, saying that at most the bill could not get more than one majority if 1t ever reached a vote; that 1t was known to have lost six votes since Congress re-assembled. and more limiting that the President would veto it If 1t ever reached him. At that very moment Senator Quay was in the act of playing his smartest of all par namentary tricks.
 It is now war to the knife and farewell to all peace in the Senate unless the op- ponents of Statehood yield, and they have sworn the territories shall not be admitted to the Union.
 Thus the Senate is in apparently hope less deadlock.
 Senator Quay will not even permit exec utive sessions for the confirmation of Presidential nominations, hundreds of which are awaiting action.
 However much any citizen may dislike Senator Quay none can withhold from him feeling of admiration for his daring resourcefulness as now being so brilliant ly displayed.
 Look out for an extra session.

TYRANNY OF UNION
CHAIRMAN GRAY MAKES A FEW
 REMARKS.
Comments on the InsOlence of. Dis trict President Fahey--Witness Called by Operators Testiaes
 for the Men.

Philadelphia, Jan. A.-Chairman Gray of the coal strike commission in comment ing on the testimony given by R. s. Mer- Ger. a District Superintendent of the Le- high Valley collieries of the Mahoney and Shamokin Districts, regarding the re- fusal of District President ERhey of the Miners Union to grant permission" du- ring the strike to a contractor to erect at a colliery a boiler house which was nec- essary to preserve the mine from dam age. said he hated tyranny no matter whether it'waS practiced by an operator, a miner or any oISe else. This was a free country. he added, and he was not edu- cated to using the word 'permission% in the way Fahey had employed it.
 At another point in hts testimony, Mer- cer said the miners did not produce any more coal as a result of President Mitch els hurry up order. They asserted that there was no coal shortage and that it was a scheme of the operators to show the men were earning larger wages.
 This caused Chairman Gray 10 remark that the miners should come to Whining ton (his home) and see poor people stand Ing around waiting to buy buckets of coal at F and IS cents bucket.
 During the morning session. the LehiBh Valley Coal Company, which opened its case after the Temple Iron Company closed, placed John F. Murray. a union miner on the stand to testify about what seemed a trivial matter and on cross ex- animation this afternoon he proved wit ness for the miners. fife said that there would be trouble in the anthracite region so long as the coal companies insisted on paying, the contract miners by the car instead of by weight. This opened a dis cussion between counsel for both sides and the commissioners which consumed much time. The result was that the com mission will devote an entire day to hearing arguments on the question.
 During his cross examination Murray said the company did not deliver enough cars to the men and that the-union had no rule restricting the number of cars to be delivered to each miner. He asserted that the ears were more like freight cars than mine cars The miners. he contin- ued. think they hold much more than. the two and half tons the company say they hold.

 Imitation Guns.

Some of the Soldiers Armed With
 Imitation Guns.
 Tangier. Morocco. Jan. H.-No courier arrived from Fez today. The roads be- tween Tangier and Fez are flooded.
 An English drill sergeant in the ser- vice of the Sultan has given the follow ing interesting details of the composition of the Sultan's army. He says the im- perial forces number about 25.000 men, including a shereeflan body guard of 1000 picked men. all of whom are armed with Martini rifles Of the remainder, 30 per cent are armed with imitation Martinis manufactured in Fez and the remainder of the Sultan's soldiers carry old fiintlocks and muzzle loaders.
 The artillery consists of twenty breech loading Krupps. 23 brass muzzle loaders, twelve Maxim's firing Martini-Henry cartridges and twenty-one other machine guns. The latter, however. are decided ly unreliable.
 According to the sergeant, it is almost impossible to train the natives to handle artillery as they believe cannon to be spend much time in prayer between the firing of each round while many of the natives refuse altogether to serve the guns.
 The drill sergeant who served through all the trouble with the army does not consider the Sultan's situation to be desperate. He says that if the Sultan can bring together his entire army before advancing the followers of the pretender are sure to desert and surrender in the face of an overwhelming force. On the other hand, the soldiers of the pretender evidently have been drilled in the Euro pean system of warfare and are decidedly superior to the Sultan's troops. Any sudden decided success by the pretender, the drill sergeant says. would be equally likely to precipltate wholesale assertions from the Sultan's ranks.
