HOUSE PASSES
The MANN BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The Mann
bill to provide government for the
canal zone was passed by the House
to-day. The bill gives all the right of
government of the canal zone to the
President until the end of the next
Congress, but provides that the gov
ernment shall be so exercised as to pro-
tect the inhabitants in the free enjoy
ment of their liberty, prosperity and re-
Hgion. 1t abolishes the Isthmian Canal
Commission and places the work of the
construction of the canal in the hands
OF the President and such persons as
he may appoint and employ. 1t does
not undertake to determine whether the
canal shall be constructed as a sea-
level or lock-level waterway.
While the bill abolishes the canal
commission so far as the law is con-
cerned. it authorizes the President to
retain the commission as a commission
or its individual members as consult
ing engineers if he shall so desire.
Authority to condemn 1884 shares of
stock In the Panama Railroad now in
the hands of private owners is carried
IN the bill, and the President is author
lzed, when full and complete control of
the railroad is acquired, to operate it
through such persons as he may select
IN order that the road may be used.

IGNORES HOUSE
CANAL MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-Without
waiting for the Mann canal bill to come
from the House, the Senate Committee
on Interoceanic Canals authorized Sem
ator Kittredge to prepare new bill for
the committee and introduce it in the
Senate. which was done to-day. The
committee has been sitting for several
weeks, having before it the Mann bill
as originally reported in the House and
the amendments reported on Febru-
ary 1.
The Mann bill provides specifically
for the repeal of that part of the canal
act authorizing the appointment of the
Isthmian Canal Commission and fixing
its duties and powers. This section is
eliminated from the Senate bill and the
entire question is covered in the first
section, which extends the present canal
act. The bill introduced by Senator
Kittredge follows out practically all
the remaining provisions of the Mann
bill, but provides also a number of new
features.
One important change is in the sec
ton which extends. the authority now
enjoyed by the President for the con-
troll of the canal zone. The Senate bill
extends this authority until the end of
the next regular session of Congress,
while the Mann bill provided for an ex-
tension until the end of the next Con-
gress.
Another new feature of the Senate
bill is as follows:
All income at any time received by the
United States from rentals, dividends or 9TH
erwise in respect of any property now pos
sessed or hereafter acquired in connection with
the canal railroad works shall be turned
into and credited to the fund for the con-
struction of said canal and works
Two new sections are added, one be-
ing as follows:
That all laws affecting imports, goods, wares
and merchandise and entry of persons into the
United States from foreign countries shall ap
ply to articles, goods, wares and merchandise
and persons coming from the canal zone, 18TH
of Panama, and seeking entry into any
State or Territory of the United States or the
District of Columbia.
The other provides for the deposit of
not to exceed $1,500,000 with a bank
having fiscal agent on the isthmus of
Panama in order that there may be
sufficient supply of money to meet the
necessary expenses of the Government.

tory in which said reserves are respectively
situated.
Sec. 8. That all money received from the
sale of any products or the use of any land
or resources of said forest reserves shall be
covered into the Treasury of the United
States. and for a period of five years from
the passage of this act shall constitute a
special fund available until expended. as the
Secretary of Agriculture may direct. for the
protection, administration, improvement and
extension Of Federal forest reserves
The Secretary announces that all
officers of the reserve service trans
ferred will be subject to the instruc-
tions and report directly to the chief
forester. 1t is also announced that
under an order signed by the Presi-
dent on December II, 1904, the whole
forest reserve service is classified and
placed under the civil service law.
The Secretary further states the pol
icy of the department will be for the
protection of the permanent resources
of the reserve and that the wood,
water and forage thereof shall be
conserved and wisely used for the
benefit of the hohebuilder first of
ALL"
He concludes his letter by saving
that questions of conflicting interests
must be decided on the principle of
greatest good to the greatest number
in the long run and that the admins
tration of each reserve is to be left
very largely in the hands of the local
officers under the eye of thoroughly
trained and competent inspectors.

BITTER REBUKE
TO THE SENATE

WASHINGTON Feb. 1s.-The House
to-day entered an emphatic protest
against the action of the Senate
amending the agricultural appropria-
tion bill so as to eliminate the draw
back feature of the Dingley tariff act
affecting wheat. Both Payne Of New
York, the majority leader, and Will
liams of Mississippi, the minority
leader. urged that the bill be sent back
to the Senate.
Payne said he did not intend to dis
cuss the merits of the Senate amend
ment. whether it was wise or un-
wise. He was loudly applauded by
both Republicans and Democrats when
ne asserted that the main question was
whether that clause in the constitu-
tion which declares that all bills for
raising revenue shall originate in the
House shall be cherished by this House
as one of it's privileges The ques-
tion: he said, also was whether we
will resent any Infringement from any
source of that clause of the constiN-
ton"
Williams. the minority leader, alluded
to the action of the Senate ''in engag-
ing strenuous effort to prevent a real
or supposed attack by the executive
a usurpation in the opinion of the
Senate upon it's function and dignity"
and said it was a peculiarly inappro-
pirate time for the Senate to attempt
to make plain, palpably obvious and
aggressive attack upon the dignity of
the House"

as amended to the Senate was adopted

ing. Friends of Vice President Hyde
were disposed to view the outcome as
a victory for their side. but in other
quarters the result was regarded as a
general compromise, in which the con-
tending factions met half way.
That Hyde had a majority of the
directors with him, however, was never
in doubt. His election to the chairman
ship of the executive and finance COM
mitrees was regarded as significant in
this connection.
To-day's solution of the society's
troubles was largely due, it is under
stood, to the conciliatory methods en-
ployed by Senator Depew and Jacob
H. Schiff. Contrary to report, Schiff
had not arrayed himself on either side
and was among those who favored
naturalization.
