CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.
May Make for Solution of the Dim.
 M culty.

May Make for . Solution of the Dim-
 culty.
 Washington, June 15.-As the result of an important conference held at the has taken place in the situation which may make for solution of the diffi- culty in which the House Committee on Agriculture found itself after the Pres ident had indicated that the commit tees substitute for the Beveridge amendment was wholly inadequate and unsatisfactory.
 Those present were J. B. Reynolds, who assisted in making the packing house inquiry for the President; So- licitor McCabe of the Department of Agriculture. and Representative Adams of Wisconsin.
 After discussing the House substitute thoroughly with Reproductive Adams the President indicated just what he had written into the law. MT. Adams said he would be perfectly willing to accept the suggestions made by the President and would work to that end in the committee. The President said frankly as he told Chairman Wadsworth yesterday, that the substitute as pre- pared by the majority of the House committee was entirely unsatisfactory and to his mind absolutely inadequate to meet the requirements of the situation. He objected particularly to the court review paragraph which he thought ought to be eliminated.
 The President said to Mir. Adams he was not trying for any particular form of words in the proposed law, but was after q measure that would be effective and adequate and proposed to get 1t if possible.S The amendments suggested were satisfactory to Representa- tive Adams, who returned to the capitol to take up the matter with his colleagues.

BEATEN BY MIR. sIMMs.
Prevents an Appropriation for the Keep Commission.

Washington. June 15.-Representa- tive Simms CTenn.), was Instrumental today in defeating an appropriation for the travelling expenses of the so- called Keep commission, provided for in the sundry civil bill In making a point of order against it, he remarked that this commission, like many others. suggested in one respect what was said of Melchisedec that while it might have a beginning of days 1t had no ending of years
 He asked how long the commission would last to which Mir. Sullivan re- piled aloud aside about as long as 1t took Hercules to clean the AuEean stables. 1 think that was about seven years"
 Mir. Tawney (Minn.). explained that the item for travelling expenses was made necessary on account of experts visiting the largest manufacturing plants of the country. with a view of ascertaining their methods of doing business and adopting what is best for the several departments. He stated that the Keep commission was made up of salaried officials of the govern ment: that none received any additional salary for their work. but they desired to send experts throughout uhe coun- try with view of undermining the government methods. The point of or- der was sustained. .

CANNED MEAT IN COMMONS.
Armour Brand Eaten by Members of
 English Parliament.


 London, June 15.--A fresh lot of ,qpostions relating to the Chicago meat packing disclosures is being prepared for presentation in the House of Com mons next week. Michael Hicks-Beach son of the former Chancellor of the Exchequer. will ask War Secretary Haldane to inform the House of the quantity of the Chicago canned meat supplies sent to the troops in South Africa during the late war and what proportion of enteric deaths ought more properly to have been described as due to "ptomaine poisoning"
 Another question is based on the dis covery in the dining room of the House of Commons of box marked "Ar- mour's (St Louis, Chicago and Kansas City), Chickens" Frederick E. Smith Unionist, will inquire what portion of the food supplied to the members of the House comes from Chicago.
 There was an incidental mention of canned meats in the course of today's inquiry into the South African war stores scandals. Evidence was given to the effect that army officers sold 10000 cases of canned meats, including the Armour brands, Helmet brand and MitchelPs brand, to a contractor for cents a pound. The contractor com plained that the meats were bad and returned the cases. The officer who sold the canned meats testified that he subsequently, ordered the filth to be dumped into the sea-" and most of II afterwards hoated ashore and was picked up by Kaffirs who ate 1t, with the result that a number of them died of ptomaine poisoning.

cHAsm IS UNBRrDGEABLE-
Hourly Prospect For New Revolution
 Are More Bright


 St Petersburg, June 15-The press is unanimons in it's criticism over yes terday's events in the Lower House of Parliament The situation Is strained to the breaking point. The attempt of the military procurator, General Paw loff in behalf of War Minister Rudiger. to shift the responsibility for the mili- tary executions to the Minister of the Interior Is palpable evasion of, the issue raised by the House and has re- echoed throughout the country.
 The result Is that storm of indigna- tion has been aroused and is being augmented by the cool attempt of tho Government to invade the inviolabihty of Parliament and its demand for the expulsion of M Ulianoff. Whether the Government dares follow up legally the refusal of the House to expel M Ulian- of and It's Haunting of Procurator Paw loff. is now the question. Unless the Government is definitely resolved to give battle, the Goremykin Ministry must fall into the chasm between 1t and Parliament, which is now unbridgeable.
 M. Alladin, leader of the peasant workmen group, openly boasted from the rostrum yesterday that the death of the ministers would be the coun- try's rejoinder to the Governments re- fusal to abolish the death penalty.
 Some of the papers believe that yes- terday's event dehpiteiy toreSnauoWs the Governments intention to dissolve Parliament and they emphasize the mill itary conspiracy of the officers of the guard regiments which is progressing unchecked before everybody's eyes at the capital.
 It Is significant that The Novoe Vrem- va, hitherto a thick and thin supporter of the Government, is silent today. The Rech, and The Strana, which of the lib eral papers best keep their heads in times of stress, sadly comment on rap idly waning chances of an understand ing beirg arrived at between the Elm peror and Parliament. They consider that the only hope now lies in the Elm peror's discarding his evil advisers i'm mediately and trying the experiment of surrounding himself with representa- lives of the people.
 The agitation among the workmea here, Is increasing and several strikes are already in operation. At a meet ing of 5000 Social Democrat workmen last night 1t was declared that. Parlia- ment had engaged in futile talk for month and had done nothing and that the workmen must have recourse to general strike. Representatives of the bakers announce that the bakeries would be closed in a few days and that the city would be without bread.

ORDER IS RESTORED.
Reported to Minister and Interior That
 only Ten Were Killed.

St. Petersburg, June 15.-M Sheftel. a member of parliament from Ekater- inoslav, accompanied by a number of members of the lower house from the Jewish Pale, called on M. Stolypin, the minister of the interior. today. regard ing the anti-Jewish outbreak at Bialy stok. They were informed by M. Stoly- pins aide de camp. that order had been restored and that about ten persons had been killed. but 1t was added, the min istry had no information as to the number wounded
 Subsequently M Sheftel and his col leagues drafted interpellations for pre- sentation in the lower house, calling attention to the Bialystok affair. ex- pressing fear that 1t is the beginning of a widespread attack on the Jews and demanding to know what action the government has taken at Bialystok. who is responsible for stirring up race and religious strife in general, and what measures are being taken to pre- vent the destruction of the lives and property of Jews throughout the Elm pire.
 scented in the Parliament this after noon and the House accepted 1t unami- noomslv with amendments making 1t urgent and providing for the despatch ofa Parliamentary commission to Rialvstok to investigate the affair.
 A series of speakers held the gov Arnment directly responsible for the onthreak. declaring that the anti-Jew- ish hatred of the Russian masses was sintion except when fomented by the aStborities and asserting that out hrsaks never occurred except on their sne;tation or with their connivance.
 M Poditchefr declared amidst thun- derous applause:

 As to the cost of inspection Haugen and Davis believe the packers should assume the cost of further inspection, sanitation, etc, as may be necessary to insure clean and healthful canned products. It is urged that sufficient amount should be appropriated ini- tially and the report suggests the amount be ss.0o0.o0o to insure the in- spection. As to the expense to be borne by the packers the report rec omnends that the secretary of agricui- ture ascertain what this cost will be and charge q fee to cover 1t on each carcass This fee is then to be col- lecfed by the secretary of the treas ury and turned into the treasury.
 The fee is to be uniform and in amount only sufhcient to cover the cost of the Inspection.
 The report concludes with the state ment that there are good features in both the Beveridge amendment and in the substitute but the .signers of the report prefer the Beveridge amendment to the substitute.

WADSWORTH'S WARM ANSWER
 TO ROOSEVELT'S CRITICISM

ton of said food products is conducted during the night time"
 Therefore at least one or two criti- cisms you make of the bill you must admit that you are absolutely wrong You say: Doubtless 1t suits the packers who object to thoroush-go- ing Inspection
 told you Wednesday night when submitted the bill to you that the pack CTS insisted before our committee or having a rigid inspection law passed Their life depends upon 1t and the conl- mittes will bear me out in the state. ment that they placed no obstacle what ever in our way. but on the contrary gave us many valuable suggestions based upon their practical Knowledge of their business.
 Your other actual criticisms of the amendment refer to the court review clause The worst that can be said ol this clause is that it is perhaps 'un- necessary-that 1t Is already covered by existing law.
 Honors the Judiciary.
 I have been always taught to honoi the Judiciary of my country. have always been taught to respect the rights of other citizens and to respect the rights of property and cannot believe that the mere repetition of provision which guarantees to the citizen the privilege of an appeal to the courts of the land when he believes his property rights are threatened can be justly or properly objected to.
 The rest of your letter deals with generalities and a general condemns ton of the committees bill If you or your advisers will point out specifically wherein 1t actually fails to accomplish your purpose, I can assure you 1t will be promptly remedied,
 You say further along in your letter And cannot even promise to sign il because the provisions are so bad that in my opinion. if they had been delib- erately designed to prevent the rem- edying of the evils complained of, they could not have been worse.'
 I deny that you, the President of the United States, is justified by inuendc at least. in impugning the sincerity and incompetency of the Committee of the House of Representatives. You have no warrant for 1t.
 Very truly yours,
 T. W. Wadsworth Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
 United States.

CANAL SURE TO PAY.
Morgan Says That IL Will Prove a
 Profitable Investment

Washington, June 15.-Senator Nor gan expressed the opinion in the sen- ate today that the Panama Canal will prove a paying investment The state ment was made in connection with the reading of a letter written him by General George W. Davis. concerning the profitable character of the Sues Canal
 In the letter General Davis said that the stock of the Suex enterprise oom- mands a premium of 800 per cent on the Paris bourse.
 Let us get rid of the idea that we are going to give way a great deal of money In connection with the canal" said the Alabama Senator. T believe that If it were stock concern the stock would be worth $500 on the $10o within a few years after its comple- tion, notwithstanding I fully appreci- ate the physical difficulties in the way of building a canal at the place de- cided upon. Let us therefore put away all hysteria and despair on the finan@ cial feature of the canal project. Tho figures on the suez canal are reassur- ing on that point"

HOUSE IS FOR ALOCK CANAL TheLittauer Amendment
 is Adopted. $25,OOo,OOO IS APPROPRIATED Burton of Ohio Argues Against the
 Sea Level Type. Says It Is Not Fair to President to In- sist On Rapid Construction and
 Not Decide Kind of Water way Wanted.
s25,ooo,ooo IS APPROPRIATED

Washington, June 15--In committee of the whole today the House by 6 vote of no to 3e voted in favor of a lock canal across the isthmus of Panama. the amendment to this effect being pre- sented by Mir. Litteauer of New York.
 With members of congress sitting on the short steps in the aisles of the house today around the space in front Of the speakers desk, with large membership of the lower branclw Of congress. with the galleries filled and with MT Burton of Ohio. pointer in hand, indicating by charts the differ- ence between sea level and lock canal, the House presented every appearance of the class room of a great university.
 MT. Burton yesterday gave notice that when the item in the sundry civil bill was reached appropriating upwards of $25,o00,000 he would ask for an hour in which to present his views on the lock type of Panama canal
 He prefaced his remarks by stating that in the so-called Spooner law au- thorizing the expenditure of SIa5,oo0,- 900 for the Panama canal and giving the president the right to inaugurate this movement and carry 1t to a suc- cessful conclusion, the type was left with the president with certain speci- fications and limitations
 He said that lately there had been A strung dHikdtiun TUT BeA ieN6l Can4t and he believed that the time had come when the question of type should be settled ahd the matter removed from the domain of controversy. Continuing he said:
 Unfair to President.
 Tt is not fair to the president and to the executive officers of the govern ment who have this great enterprise in charge to say to them Proceed with the canal with all x,s and with another breath to say sws have not yet made up our minds what kind of a canal you shall build It is unjust to the subordinates who have gone to the isthmus to give the best years of their lives and their best ef- forts to hamped and embarrass them | by falling to decide this question: In reply to a -question by Mr. Viii Hams. of Massachusetts. MT. Burton | said that the necessary implication of | the Spooner act was that lock canal was intended.
 Taking up his position in front of the maps he called attention to the vital l difference between the two types and remarked that when the topography is considered 1t would be the very strong est argument for the lock canal. He said thirty four of the ablest en- gineers of the world were for the lock level type and he ls.lieved their judG- ment should be accepted.
 MT. Bartlett of Georgia, made a point against the amendment of Mir. Littauer He insisted that the amendment was clearly new legislation and argued the question from that premise.
 The chair (Mr. Watson of Indiana) held the amendment was in order and cries of "Vote, vote" were heard. With out further discussion the Littauer amendment was adopted.

CIVIL SERVICE IGNORED.
Proposed Jobs VIII Go to Pay Political
 Debts.

Washington. June 15.-The Civil Ser vice Commissioners are disturbed over the provision in the meat inspection bill prepared by the House Committee on Agriculture regarding the appoint ment of inspectors to be employed. As drawn the bill makes it mandatory for the Secretary of Agriculture to ap- point the inspectors from time to time but there are no restrictions placed on the Secretary as to the character of the inspectors to be appointed. The qualifications of the inspectors are not set forth. Commissioner Green said today:
 If the bill passes in that form forty five persons now on the civil service eligible list for appointment as meat inspectors in all probability will go un- appointed, inasmuch as it Is fair to presume that political pressure will have weight in filling the places
