MR.. sTEVENs TEsTIFIEs
Urges That Chinese Labor Be Ad-
mitted to Isthmus
By Associated PICS.

By Associated RreSS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Chief En-
gineer Stevens, in charge of construc-
ton of the Panama canal, was before
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals throughout the day. He gave
much important testimony in regard
to the labor conditions, declaring that
the acts making the eight hour and
Chinese exclusion laws applicable to
the canal zone must be repealed If the
situation is to be met economically and
the canal built within reasonable
time The minority report of the con-
sulting board of engineers regarding
the type of canal was not received
today and therefore Mr.. Stevens will
be recalled.
Sanitary and labor conditions on the
isthmus were the chief subjects con-
sidered today. Mr.. Stevens described
the negro laborer from Martinique and
Jamaica as shiftless and incompetent
to such an extent that the payment
of small wage for an eight hour day
is proving an extravaganza. He de-
c;ared that the repeal of the eight
hour law so far as it applies to tho
canal zone Is a necessity and that it
would be beneficial to legislate so that
the Chinese exclusion act will not ap-
ply to the zone. He said that such ac-
ton would in no manner injure Amer
lean labor, as the latter is united for
employment there. 1t was his opinion
that the commission is getting matters
in shape so that good showing can
be made in congress in the near future.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 16.-The state
senate today, by a vote of "a to /, re-
jected the resolution of Senator Edgar
T. Bracket of Saratoga, demanding
the resignation of Chauncey NJ. Depew
from the United States senate. After
a debate lasting more than three hours
and characterized on the one hand by
Senator Brackets unsparing denuncia-
tion of Senator Depew and the insur-
ance companies, and on the other by
almost every harsh criticism of the
judgments and the motives of the in
PRODUCER Of the motion, the roll call
showed Senator Brackets own vote
to be the only one in favor of the reso-
luton. Every other Republican senator
voted against it, with the exception of
Senator Armstrong of Rochester, who
is in New York at work on the in
Surance investigation committee report
and he sent a telegram to Senator
Tully, his colleague on the committee,
to the effect that If he were present
he would vote against the resolution.
The fourteen Democratic senator's
were excused from voting on the reso-
luton, though the motion to excuse
them was opposed by Senator Brackett.
who expressed his desire ito put every
senator on his record on this moral
ISSUE"
Senator Grady, the Democratic lead
er, said the Democrats regarded the
Depew case as purely a Republican af-
fair; they felt like the man, who, look
ing on while his wife fought with a
bear, cried:
go it, old woman; go it, bear"
The more severe the consequence to
the "old woman and the bear" in this
instance, the better the minority would
like 1t. Moreover, said Senator Grady,
they did not regard it as Senator
Bracket said he did, as a great moral
issue.
The principal speeches in opposition
to the resolutions and in defense of
Senator Depew were made by Senators
Maltby, Cassidy Raines, Coggeshall,
Lewis and White, while Senator ELL
berg denounced the resolution and Its
introducer and said especially that the
senate was in no position to pass such
a resolution while it rested under Sen
ator Brackets insinuation that its
members had been debauched by the
use of yellow dog funds.
Senator Cassidy referred to Senator
Depew's active critics as fomenting
public censure in order, under the
cloak of reform, to steal his official
position"

that they are Natures own simple

they are composed of exactly the same
elements and possess the same proper
ties. They relieve the weak and worn

HOUSE PASSES
PHILIPPINE BILL
ONLY SLIGHT CHANGES MADE
IN MEASURE
Rice Made subject Of Same Tariff as
Sugar and Tobaeco-AIl Other
Goods Admitted Free
Of Duty
ev Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.--The Phil
ippine tariff bill was passed by the
house today substantially as It came
from the ways and means committee.
The vote was 25s to II. Rice was made
subject to the same tariff as sugar and
tobacco-25 per cent of the Dlngley
rates-and one or two changes were
made as to the language.
This result was attained after de-
cidedly the most strenuous day Of the
present congress.
Republican opposition to the bill in
the interest Of the American beet and
cane sugar and tobacco industries tried
out its strength early and gave up.
This opposition refused to affiliate with
Democratic efforts. The strongest plea
for "insurgent" support was made in
behalf of Champ Clark's amendment
reducing the differential on refined
sugar. The minority sought to dupli-
cate the house record made on the
Cuban reciprocity act, but they reck-
oned without their host. The Demo-
cratic substitute met with only the
support of the minority, and went
down under a vote of 251 to LOG. On
the hnal passage of the bill the In
strgents" demanded roll call that
the record might be preserved.
An effort sustained by the Demo-
cfats, but opposed by all but three
Republicans, was initiated by Mr.. Nc
Call of Massachusetts to commit the
United States to the policy of grant
ing independence to the Philippines as
soon as their inhabitants can be pre-
pared for self-government.
The bill admits goods the growth of
products of the Philippine islands into
the United States free of duty, except
sugar, tobacco and rice, on which a
tariff Of 25 per cent of the Dingley rates
Is levied. 1t provides that after April
II, 1909, there shall be absolute free
trade each way between the United
States and the Philippines. 1t also ex-
empts Philippine goods coming to the
United States from the export duty of
those islands. Merchandise from
either country is subjected to the in
ternal revenue tax of the country in
which such merchandise is withdrawn
for consumption.
The house adjourned at 6:2o o'clock.

Rides French Terror

Kids most notorious performance
was in Paris during the exposition
when Buffalo Bill was exhibiting there.
At that time there was an Irish stallion
owned by the Paris Jockey club. The
animal had been allowed to have its own
way for so long that none dared go
near him. He was kept in a stone stall
and his food passed in through win
dow.
During a supper given Buffalo Bill
by members of the club some one men
toned the stallion, Leferic, and stated
that the only two men who had ever
attempted to ride him had been killed.
81 have a man with me that will ride
your stallion bareback" stated Cody,
and arrangements were Immediately
made for the performance. Jim Kid
was selected as the rider and the con-
test between man and beast was held
before a crowd of 10000.
Kid roped the animal, saddled him
and then rode him. The contest lasted
nearly two hours and during that time
the great stallion dashed through the
picket fence to the base of the grand
stand, whereupon the rider turned him
and rode him out through the gap.
Finally the horse was broken, but the
rider was in the hospital three months
as the result Of his injuries.
Tells of Skill Required
Kid arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day for the coming exhibit. 1.-THE gen.
eral public doesn't seem to understand
the fine points of a riding contest" he
said. "The people of California, of
course, understand what bronco bust
ing is, but for the benefit of the many
tourists in Los Angeles who will have
a chance to witness the game Sunday
I would like to say that the contest
between rider and horse is the con-
test between the cowboy and an un-
tanned animal. All the horses to be
ridden are outlawed and will take any
chance to throw his rider and roll on
him. The skill lies in the rider being
able to keep his seat in the saddle no
matter how viclously the animal weaves
or how badly he plunges. When the
horse can be guided by the rider and
will obey the rein the contest is over.
The man who can do the act most
gracefully wins the first prize. Two
prizes will be given Sunday, and the
judges will be Dan Goodin of Arizona
and 7. j. Thornton of Nevada"

physicians as worse than last even

them with the rally of yesterday was
not abandoned, however, and they de-
clared that while his condition was
critical it was not regarded as hope

other senators fully shared the time,
among them being Messrs. Foraker,
Spooner, Bailey and Clay. The discus
