SENATE BILLS
WIN APPROVAL
SOlOns Pass Pension Measure
and Appropriate Money for
the Rivers and HarbOrs
CALENDAR ABOUT CLEAN
Action of the National Body
Provides for Expenditure
of More Than $140,0O0,000

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The pen
sion appropriation bin. carrying an ap-
preparation of more than s1S7, ,OO0. 900,
and the emergency river and harbor
appropriation bill, which carries s3.000.-
600, were passed to-day by the Senate,
leaving only the general deficiency and
the military academy bills Of the en-
tire list of supply measures still to be
considered by the Senate. While the
river and harbor measure was under
consideration German sharply criticized
the failure TO bring ina general river
and harbor BILL
McCumber expressed the opinion that
the time was approaching for the en-
actment Of a general service pension
law. In this connection he referred to
previous service pension laws, and in
cidentally mentioned the fact that
there were still living about 500 sons
and daughters of soldiers of the revo-
lutionary war.
McCumber also discussed the recent
executive pension order, contendfnG
that it was in harmony with the laws
making pensioners dependent upon
physical disability.
When the emergency river and har-
bor appropriation bill was taken up,
German asked why no general river
and harbor bill was to be passed at the
present session. Mr.. Elkins, in charge
of the bill. replied that the Judgment
of the Committee on Commerce. which
had reported the bill, had been that
general bill could not be passed and
that the state of the Treasury and pub
lie business would not justify such
measure.
There was controversy between Al
drich and German. the latter charging
the Republicans with determination
to force an early adjournment for po-
litical purposes and Aldrich asserting
that German could discuss public ques-
tions as long as he chose.

adjournment by passing a large num-
Der OF bills. among them being one TO

The Panama canal zone.
A rule was adopted, after the Demo-
Gratis had forced a roll call, for the

urged its passage. contending that it
Was word for word similar to what
Jefferson had suggested and approved
for the government OF the Territory Of
Louisiana.
The bill was vigorously opposed by
Harrison Of New York, who character
ized il as despotism run mad. because
IL gave the President authority greater
than any sovereign in the world. He
emphatically remarked that members
ought 10 be grateful that the Presi
dent had consented TO consult the
House instead OF legislating from the
White House as he is accustomed to
Go" He thought that on the eve OF a

imously.

The balloting consumed more than an
hour. When the votes were counted the
following platform was presented to
the convention:
The Democrats Of Massachusetts,
in convention assembled. present to the
Democrats of the United States the
name of Richard Olney as one conspic-
uously qualified for the office Of Pres
ident."
After eulogizing Olney. the platform
concluded as follows:
I'VE hereby instruct the delegates
and alternates chosen to attend the
National Convention at st. Louis by
this convention and by the Congress
sional District conventions to place
in nomination the name of Richard
Olney as the choice of Massachusetts
for the Presidency, and we further in
struct said delegates and alternates to
cast the vote Of Massachusetts, as a
unit for him in the convention until
the nomination shall be made or his
name shall be withdrawn by author
ity.''
The first mention of the name of
Richard Olney brought forth prolonged
applause. When that portion was
reached which dealt with the unit
rule for governing the delegates there
was an uproar.
mo, no: it is an outrage" shouted
the members of the Hearst faction.
Delegates arose in their seats, cheers
were given for Hearst. Then the Olney
men cheered.
In an instant of quiet John A. Coul-
thourst announced that he desired to
read the minority report of the COM
mittee on resolutions.
The resolutions of the minority called
for the enforcement of the antitrust
laws, for the election of a President
who would not hesitate to run
amuk' so long as monopolistic combin-
ations continue" for national super
vision of national monopolies and pub
lie ownership Of public utilities and
concluded:
"The one man who thus exemplifies
these principles as expressed by him
is William Randolph Hearst of New
York, and we therefore indorse him as
the Democratic nominee for President -
An uproar followed the final words
of the resolutions. Several delegates
tried to secure recognition.
Finally, after several efforts, a Hearst
man succeeded in presenting a motion
calling for the substitution of the mi
nority resolutions for the majority res
olutions. This produced a preliminary
wrangle, with a flood of angry
speeches. When the chairman at
length was able to do so the motion
was put, and by a rising vote the sub
stitution of the minority report for the
majority report was lost

Mr.. Cannon sat down, quivering with
ill-suppressed emotion, and Mr.. Worth

sel?"
mo, sir
Mr.. Worthingtcn submitted to the
chairman that the witness should be
informed as to his rights and as to his
liability should he answer questions
which might incriminate him.
RIGHTS OF WITNESS.
Chairman Burrows said the witness
was at liberty to decline to answer any
questions he chose. but Mr.. Worthing
ton insisted that the refusal must be
based on the ground that the witness
feared to incriminate himself. The Off

Mr. Cannon, also saying he was mar
ried to Martha Hughes in 1884, and
Maria Banning in 1886. Johanna c.
Donnellson in 1886, and that he had
not been married since that time. Ali
his wives were living. He said that
they all lived in Salt Lake County, but
in separate houses: that he had fam
lilies by FIVE of his wives.
DO you live with all of your wives

Witness related the proceedings at
the recent conference at Salt Lake at
which President Smith had been sup

at Washington. When asked il the peo-
pie had censured the president of the
church for his testimony. he said he
had heard of no criticism, but that
they regretted the circumstances which
made such disclosures necessary.

mony of Angus NJ. Cannon. for twenty
five years president of the largest Nor

Of the witness on charges of poly

from him under protest that he be pro-
tected from any peril or liability to
prosecution for what he revealed When
assured that his plural marriages un-
der the statute of limitations could
not be used as evidence against him,
he answered most Of the questions
asked. His testimony was no less SEN
sational than that given by President
Smith early in the investigation. He
answered all questions of a personal
character, but every admission was
made reluctantly, and the replies to
questions in regard to his numerous
marriages were as near monosyllables
The sensation Of the hearing occurred
when Mr.. Tayler examined Mr.. Cannon
in regard TO his various marriages. Mr..
Tayler asked the witness when he was
first married. and he answered:
"On July 1S 1855"

Bryan at Anti-Hill Meeting.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: William ]. Bryan will tell New York
democrats at Cooper Union on Monday
night why they should oppose the Parker
Hill-Belmont-M cCarren combination To
have Mr.. Bryan set forth the issues of the
campaign from the radical point of view,
the anu-Hill mass-meeting called for Sat
urday night at Cooper Union has been put
over till Monday night. Mr.. Bryan Is on
his way east He will speak in Indiana on
Saturday night.
Mr.. Bryan's acceptance of an invitation
to speak at the anti-Hill mass-meeting
means that he Is against the nomination of
Judge Parker. The Parker men~have been
advertising the assertion that Parker voted
for Bryan twice. This has not placated the
Nebraskan, however.
Tammany men have threatened that they
will do everything in their power to beat
Hill and McCarren, and the Bryan mass
meeting on Monday night will give them an
opportunity to pack Cooper Union and
shout for everything anti-Hill.

Two Drowned In a Creek.

A dispatch from Hagerstown. Md, says:
Miss Gladys Anne Bright. a young
factory girl. and William H. Rust, young
men. were drowned while out rowing before
midnight Sunday In Antietam Creek, at
Watts Park, two miles from Hagers-
town. The couple took a late trolley
car last night, and after reaching the park
hired a boat Of Albertus Bower They
rowed up stream. and were gone a long
time, when Charles Young Of Hagerstown
heard a woman's cry. A large party
dragged the creek, and soon after midnight
found the body of Miss Bright, in fifteen
feet of water. near where the boat capsized.
In the meantime Rust's body was found.
The theory Is that Miss Bright fell over,
and when Rust attempted to pull her in.
he. too, was thrown into the water. Miss
Bright was twenty-six years old and lived
with her elder sister, Miss Mary Bright.
She was an orphan. Rust was the son of
Nimrod Ashby Rust and was foreman In
the factory where Miss Bright worked.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Proposed Change in Name of Column
bian University.

President Needham of Columbian Univer-
sity stated to a Star reporter today that
there have been no recent developments In
regard to the matter of changing the name
of the university to the George Washing
ton University. The trustees of Columbian,
he said, have decided on the change, and as
directed by Congress have submitted their
choice to the Secretary Of the Interior, who
will have to approve it before it will go
into effect.
Dr. Needham expects to leave the city to-
morrow to go to Richmond, Va, and when
he returns Thursday of this week expects
to hear that definite action has been taken
by the Secretary. Until then there Is moth
ing more to say in regard to it, he says.
