PANAMA CANAL ZONE
MORGAN OCCUPIED FLOOR MOST
 OF DAY.
Provision Giving Commission Pardon Powers Debated at Length and
 Transportation Meth
 ods Were Discussed.

Washington, April 14-rhe Senate devoted the entire day to considera- tion of the bill for the government of the Panama canal zone and Mir. Nor gan again occupied the floor most of the day. The discussion related prin- cipally to details of governing the canal, but some consideration also was given to MT. Haies amendment, re- quiring the use of American bottoms in the shipment of canal supplies D the @one.
 Consideration of the bill was not concluded.
 Mir Bacon declared the provision in section 13 of the Dili giving the com mission authority to grant pardons for offenses in the canal zone was uncon- stitutional. Mir. Kittredge replied pardon offences committed in this zona does not exist
 Mir. Bacon expressed surprise at this statement, saying it limited a broad grant by the constitution to the Presi- dent and that the power was one that could not be delegated. Tt is" he said, very radical proposition
 T have always thought that the power of the President was not only unlimited but exclusive and that it ex- tended to any offense within the Fed- t1OACNtOHf AG du0Gu. 34H thought that the powers of the com mission should be limited to reprieves. Mir. Hoar contendsd that the power to pardon was not exclusively vested in tho President. After a general de- bate the section was agreed to as 1t stood.
 Mir. Hale asked consideration of his amendment, requiring that men. sup plies and material shipped to Panama in connection with the canal work be transported in American built ships.
 Mr. Spooner suggested that the pro- vision would apply to contractors and their supplies. well as to govern ment supplies. and said the expense of construction might thereby be mate rIally increased.
 Mir. Teller suggested that if only American vessels were to be used in shipping supplies, etc, to the Isthmus, the provisions should be extended so as to require that all supplies used in connection with the canal shall be Of American origin.
 Mir Hale temporarily withdrew his amendment and Mir. Mitchell present. ed committee amendment giving the Secretary of the Treasury authority to protect money on deposit in the zone It was agreed to- Without consideration of the bill the Senate at 5;16 D. m. adjourned.

DIETRICH | NOT GUILTY Senator Cleared by Con- mittee. CONDUCT NOT CORRUPT Appointment of Jacob Fisher
 Was Honest.
 --s---- Junior Senator from Alabama on Tri- bunal which Investigated Charges Against Nebraskan and Left
 His Name Unsullisd.
 

Washington. April l4-senator Diefric. of Nebraska has been declared by q spe. cIal committee of Congress to be net guilty of any violation of the statutes of the United States or of any corrnpg or unworthy conduct relating either to the appointment of Jacob Fisher as post- master at Hastings, Neb.. or the leasing ofa building in that city for postoffic. The committee which investigated tic charges against Senator Dietrich was composed of Senators Iioar Platt of Con- l necticut, spooner Cockreli and Pettus. Throe members of the committee are Rx- publicaps and two are Democrats. Ths report Is unanimous
 The report reviews the testimony ae length and the conclusion Is reached that the charges cannot be sustained. The committee with reference to the lease of the building at Hastings finds that 1t was effected while Mir Dietrich was Governor and before he became Sen ator, that It extended for ten years and that the law governing such matters vas not violated. The report says the coili- mittee admitted not only such evidence against Senator Dietrich as would have been competent in court of justice, but also great deal of hearsay testimony. being all which was brought to the atten- ton of the committee as a possible cluo to further proceeding
 This course. 1t says, was taken with the consent of Senator Dietrich. but it is stated that the committee did not do- termine how far this proceeding would have been justified for any reason, with out such contest. even if they had care-l fully refrained from attaching any weight to 1t in their final decision. But 1t dld not. in fact. In the least. tend to sheke or affect the conclusion they have reached.
 The last paragraph says: Upon full consideration of all the evidence the ealn- mittee Is of the opinion that Senator pint- rich has not been guilty of any violation of the statutes of the United States. or of any corrupt or unworthy conduct fe- lating either to the appointment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at Hastings, Neb.. or the leasing of the building In question to the United States for the purpose Of a postoffice.''

 Total Wreck. Order Was Given to Beach ship But Captain cowles Prevented Exe- rution in Time to Save
 the Vessel.

Fensacola, Fla. April 14-That the newest battleship of the navy. the Ms sourf, had narrow escape from both icing blown to pieces by the explosion of magazine and also being beached, came to light today.
 Captain William S. Cowles prevented the latter when the vessel was within 20 yards of the beach by giving, orders that the ships course be changed Chic; gunners mate Monson saved the ship and the lives of over 800 men by jumping into the open magazine and closing the door behind him. It Is stated, though not by officers of the Missouri. that when tho officers heard the explosion in the tuiret and saw the fire leaping through the top they realized the magazine would next explode and headed the ship for the beach, intending to beach her If possible before the explosion.
 Captain Cowles quickly stopped the plan and put the ship back to sea When the first explosion occurred in the turrett the men in the handling room knew in an instant what had occurred. The big pfagazine door was open and standing aEGinst 1t were four charges of powder. Without q moments hesitation gunners mate Monson showed these aside and jumped into the magazine. pulling the

The damage to the battleship is much greater than was at first stated In addition to the large amount of ammu- hilton ruined by the magazine being flooded. which win amount to thousands of dollars, the after turret is also badly injured. the top being burned away and al. brass work melted inside. The hoisi is charred mass and the mechanisin oi tine guns completely ruined. The esti. mated damag.N caused by the explosior will reach $50.000
 Thirty-two Are Dead.
 The total list of dead now number. thirty-two. one man having died last night and two men today. It is hardly probable that other deaths will occur. O. B. Moe. apprentice, second class; J. F. Knight, seaman, and J. T. Donnelly, or dinary seaman, were added to the death list. The funeral of seventeen of the sea- men occurred this afternoon and each ship of the fleet was represented, fully 5000 men being present while thousands from the city were in attendance. Every place of business was closed for the af- ternoon and flags over all buildings placed at half mast.
 The bodies of the officers and of eight of the seamen were shipped to the!r former homes tonight and the others are being held to await advices from rela- tives. Three of the bodies inferred this afternoon will be disinterred and shipped to their relatives.

Latter Has Large Lead Which May Not Be Over
 come.
Vote for Simpson of Lauderdale and Andersen of Marengo Surprised Their Most Sanguine Friends.
 Chief Justice Mcclellan
 Rolled Fine Vote.

Oficial returns of Mondays primary election received from fifty-three counties of Alabama by The Advertiser at the latest hour this morning show that J. R. Tyson of Montgomery, N. D. Denson Of Chambers, J. c. Anderson of Marengo, J. R. Dowdell of Chambers. R. T. Simp- son of Lauderdale and Jonathan Haral- son of Dallas are nominated as Justices ot the Supreme Court.
 Conservative men do not believe that the returns from the fourteen counties which have failed to report will affect the result more than to increase the ma jorities of the successful candidates. have been received are: Baldwin. Bibb, Chiffon, Cleburne, Escambia, Greene, Lowndes. Marengo. Marion, Marshall, Randolph, Shelby, Washington and Win ston.
 These are mostly interior counties and in some of them the county court house is not accessible to telegraphic facilities. Marengo polls a large vote and Judge John c. Anderson undoubtedly received practically the unanimous vote of his home people ses.e
 The returns from the ffty-three coun- ties presented this morning by The Ad- vertiser shows the following total vote for the Supreme Court Justices: Tyson, 5O.1A; Denson. 42.7S7: Anderson. l,59s; Dowdell, 37,5S6 Simpson. S6.s36; Haral- son. 3e. e.4S6;: Sayre, SS.loe; Kelly, 27,lol; Callahan 26,sSO; Thorington, 25.212; Sel- hein1er. 2O.SSO.
 Judge Sayre Defeated.
 One of the surprises disclosed by the official returns is the apparent defeat of Judge A D. Sayre of Montgomery. All unofficial returns indicated his nomination and every newspaper report has shown that he was a probable nominee. The official returns herewith presented show that Judge sayre and. Associate Justice Haralson ran close together for sixth place, although Justice Haralson is more than 5000 ahead of the Montgomery judge. It is not expected that the belated returns from the fourteen counties will enable Judge Sayre to overcome the lead of Justice Haralson.
 The vote boiled for Captain Simpson and Judge Anderson was larger than even their closest friends anticipated. Judge Anderson ran third and Captain Simpson polled more votes than Justice Haralson.
 Chief Justice Mcclellan boiled a fine vote as indicated by the few counties that have reported. He having no oppo- sition. the correspondents in many coun- ties appear not to have included the Chief Justice in the returns sent in.
 Returns received by The Advertiser do not decrease the majority of B. B. Conner for President of the Railroad Commis- sion. It will be something over 2O,OOO
 The Second District.
 It appears from the official returns that Hon. bibb Graves carried only one coun- ty, Butler. in the Second Congressional District over Congressman A. A. Whey. The vote in the o,ner counties was as - follows:

THEIR THEORY ADVANCED.
Gable Says Makaroff's Death Was to
 Protect Fleet.

Protect Fleet.
 Chicago, April H.-A special cable to The Daily News from Tolxio gives a new theory as to the death of Admiral Ma karofS. The dispatch says.
 Admiral Togo, it Is surmised, while manouvering his squadron of cruisers op- posite the entrance of the harbor for the purpose of attracting Makaroff to ven ture out. dispatched torpedo boats for ward for a considerable distance on both Hanks to cut of the Russians retreat. Ii Is suspected that the advance of the tor pedo boats was not observed by Maka- rolf S ships which were intent on the en- gagement with Togo squadron until so late that 1t was impossible that all the Russian fleet could regain the harbor.
 Makaroff's reputation Is taken to war rant the opinion that he interposed his heavily armored flagship to pr{ t the rctreating vessels. and thus sd the squadron at the cost of his own { and life as well the lives of nearly Ii on board"
