! Tongue, of Oregon. Eulogies upon
the life and public services Of the
late Representative Rumple, of Iowa
were also ordered on the same day
| Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the in.
terstate commerce committee, then
called up the conference report
upon the department of commerce
bill.
Mr.. Adamson (Ga.) said that while
he realized the Nelson amendment
was ga delusion and a snare, thinner
than thin air." yet as notice had been
served that it was the only measure
on the programme of "the trust
busters" it would receive his vote
The previous question then was or
dered and the roll was called on the
adoption of the conference report.
Conference Report Adopted.
The report was adopted, 251 to 10.
Those voting in the negative were:

The house then went into committee
of the whole and entered upon the con-
sideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Cannon, chairman
of the appropriations committee, in
charge of the measure, explained it's
provisions. It carried, he said, $751;
017,929, being $s,s7s,432 less than the
estimates and $17,365,s7O more than
the current law. The big increase, he
said, was more than accounted for by
$14 ,464,39 for rivers and harbors and
$3,0O0,000 recommended for the relief
of distress of the people in the Philip
pines.
Move for Big once Building.
Mr.. Cannon explained at consider
able length the necessity for a big of
flee building near the capitol, and con-
nected with it by subway, to be
erected for the accommodation of
members. He said the designs had
been prepared for a three-story build
ing, to contain 400 rooms, which
would cost, building and site, about
$3,s0o,ooO. The appropriations COM
mitGee, he said, were practically
agreed that such building should be
built, but no provision had been placed
in the bill hecanse it would be subject
to Il point of order. When he stated
that notwithstanding this fact he pro-
posed to move it's insertion in the bill,
his announcement was greeted with
enthusiastic applause.

No Special Election.

Gov. Cummins decided not to call
special election for a congressman to
succeed to the seat made vacant by the
death of Congressman Rumple in the
Second district. Mr.. Rumple died Jan.
uary 81. His term would expire March
3 of this year. The statutes required
ten-day notice of the election and the
governor decided that the time would
be SO short between the time of the
election or the qualification of the per-
son elected and the expiration of the
term that an election would be fruit
less. Congressman-elect M. ]. Wade
takes the seat by virtue of the election
last fall March of this year. 1t was as
sumed that if special election were
called he would be chosen. The only
value to the person chosen at the spe-
clal election would be that he would
draw the full salary of $4,000 for the
entire term, according to the prece-
dent set by the national legislature,
though he served in congress but
week or a day.

London, NOV 6.-The British official
attitude toward the events at Panama
Is that it is entirely the United States
affair. This, with the consequent COM
parative apathy, appears to be shared
in all diplomatic quarters in London
Except iii the unlikely possibility of
some outside interference. no action Is
contemplated by the British or. SO far
as can be ascertained at the various
embassies here, by any other govern
ment.
Upon request Of the British diplomat
te or consular representative in the dis
turbed region war vessel would be
sent to protect the rights Of subjects Of
Great Britain, but such 4 request would
not be encouraged, as Downing street
Is OF the opinion that the force the
United States is sending to the isthmus
Is more than sufficient to maintain the
safety Of the foreign residents.
The question Of the recognition Of
Panama's independence entirely de-
pends on the action of the United
States. If Washington communicates
to the powers that it intends to recog-
nize the independence Of Panama, it is
not likely that there VIII be the slight
est objection on the part of Great Brit
ain, while, according to the views Of
the diplomats here, the other European
powers probably viii qaleEly follow
this example.
There has long been strong feeiina
in British official circles that L woul
be an excellent arrangement if th'
United States would undertake tht
preservation Of good order and the sta
bility Of all the Central American
states. This feeling is well known L

Ing back five years unless Mr. Guthrie
could show some reason for his in
quiries, and the attorney afterward
somewhat modified his questions.
The witness stated that the Crescent
yard began to do business on June 1,
1895, with capital stock Of 100000.
Mr.. Nixon said there was little work
ing talent save his own talent, which
he considered valuable. Mr.. Guthrie
made rather heavy weather with Mr..
Nixon, and several times he disliked
the answers the witness made and
moved that they be stricken from the
