of their creditors and yet to refuse itself

In the House.
Washington. Feb. 16.-In the house
conference report on the omnibus
claims BILL the house resumed consid-
Grafton of the bill to provide a gov
eminent for the Panama canal zone.
All the committee amendments were
agreed to and the bill was passed
The bill to ratify and amend an
agreement with the Indians of the
Shosh one or Wind river reservation in
Wyoming, was passed, after eliminat-
ing the provision granting a preferen-
tial privilege to Asmus Paysen to Sc
lect 6 40 acres of mineral and coal land
within that reservation Rising to a
question of privilege Mr.. Payne IN.
W offered q resolution regarding the
action of the senate in adopting an
amendment interpreting the Dingley
act with reference to drawback on
wheat. The resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That the amendment No.
20S added by the senate to the house
bill H. r. 1929. in the opinion of the
house contraVenes the first clause of
the seventh section of the first article
of the constitution of the United States
of the house and that the said will with
the amendments be respectfully return
ed to the senate with a message COM
municating this resolution
The reading of the resolution was
greeted with applause.
In explaining the senate's action Mr.
Payne said the amendment abolished
the drawback clause in the DingleY
bill on wheat imported into the United
States and afterwards manufactured
into flour and exported. He said he
did not intend to discuss the merits of
the amendments whether it was wise or
unwise. He was loudly applauded by
both Republicans and Democrats when
he asserted that the main question was
whether that clause in the constitu-
ton which declares that all bills for
revising revenue shall originate in the
house shall be cherished by this house
as one of it's privileges
The question, he said, also was
whether we will resent any infringe
ment from any source of that clause of
the constitution
The resolution was adopted on a roll
call, &c to 5.

FIREMEN LAID OUT.
Ten of Them Overcome by Fumes of
Sulphur

New York, Feb. 16.-Eight work
men were badly injured by an ex-
plosion of sulphur in the BROOKLYN
Sulphur works in Brooklyn TODAY
Firemen and policemen who brought
them out of the building We're them
selves much affected by breathing the
sulphur fumes and at one time 10
firemen were lying on the sidexvaI IL
with ambulance surgeons administer
ing restOratives. 1t is believed four.
of the injured worl1men will die.
The first explosion was quickly fol-
lowed by a second and in a minute
the whole three story building was in
flames A number of workmen We're
caught where there we're no fire
escapes and had to jump to the
ground When the f1remen arrived
men were hanging from windows and
were taken down with the aid of seal
ing ladders The explosions are sup
posed to have been caused by the
ignition of the sulphur by a spark
caused by the presence of a nail in the
mechanism of one of the sulphur
grinding machines.

eminent. whose courts give it protec-
tion- The Kansas oil field has been
developed upon the promise of fair
play and good prices by the Standard
Oil company, but now that the supply
is sufficient for the needs of the com
pany, it, as it has done in other fields,
has reduced the price below a profit
and the men, who have invested their
money, will lose It and the field will
languish, unless govern ment, state and
national, refuses to confer upon the
company additional rights and fran
chises and turns in the other direction
and legislates for the people awhile.

Senate Threatens House With Death
of Railroad Bill.

A serious clash is likely between the
house and senate over the question of
railroad rates.
Members of the senate are mad be-
cause the house did not pass the rate
discrimination bill. but sent it to a
committee instead. They say that the
millers' combine is trying to kill off the
bill, and they will not stand for any
amendments. They say the shippers
must swallow the provisions of the rate
ate to do anything for them on the Gar
yer railroad bill for the regulation of
rates
