Washington, Jan. 10.-The senate
made it plain today that it had yester-
day all that it wants to hear for the
present on the Moroccan question.
There we're two opportunities to resume
consideration of the subject, but both
were avoided, apparently with the as
sent of all the members, and the senate
adjourned at comparatively early
hour rather than take it up.
For the rest of the session the senate
gave attention in turn to the question
of salaries paid to Panama canal off,
Gals, to the pure food bill and the
merchant marine shipping bill, but
without taking action on any one Of
those subjects. The canal subject was
discussed by Simmons and the pure
food bill by Hepburn. The only action
taken on the shipping bill was that OF
reading it at length.
Washington, Jan. 10. - vigorous
speech in favor of the Philippine tariff

several others against the measure,
most notable of which was two-hour
address by the veteran Statesman, ex-
Speaker Keller, of Ohio, who returns to
the house after a retirement of 20
years. Keller bespoke sstandpat''
doctrine OF the most pronounced type.
he said he would oppose the pending
bill because it was concession to
Democratic principles. His speech was
replete with recol,ections Of earlier
days and received the closest attention
and liberal applause from both sides of
the chamber.

Washington--Throu~h the efforts of
Senator Fred 7. Dubois an item of
SOC, 900 was inserted In the sundry
civil bill passed March 3, 1908, provid-
ing FOR resurvey of the Idaho Mon
tana boundary, with view to accurate
ly and for all time establishing the
line between the two states. There
had been previous surveys of this line.
but the old line had never been clearly
marked, and it's location has many
times been brought into question. 1t
was known, in a general way, that the
line followed the crest of the Bitter
Root and the Rocky mountains. but
such definition is far from satisfacto-
ry, ana in the absence of well defined
boundary many persons have been in
doubt as to whether they were residents
OF Idaho or of Montana.

appropriation for making the state
boundary, he had no idea in mind 9th.

Monday, Jan. is.


washington. Jan, Is. $500 Senator Ba-
con today succeeded In securing an open
discussion Of the Moroccan question oy
the senate. This result WAS accom-
plished by the introduction OF q reso-
| luton making declaration against In,
reference on the part of the United
States in any controversy among Euro,
pean nations concerning their internal
affairs. The broad scope Of the resolu-
ton relieved 1t from the point OF order
made on the Moroccan resolution, and,
Notwithstanding chat Bacon referred
freely to the Moroccan conference, no
effort was made to put him of. de
spoke at length in opposition to the
policy of interference in European in
ternal complications, pointing out the
possibility OF disastrous consequences,
and bis address brought out number
of questions and Interruptions to relieve
the proceedings of the characterization
OF set speech.
A number OF senators made short
speeches against the resolution and IN
the end it was referred to the committee
ON foreign relations, and the merchant
me rine bill was laid before the senate.
Gallinger offered number of amend
ments to the bill, which were agreed
to. The amendments related principal
ly to the naval militia proposed by the
bill.
A bill introduced by Smoot, giving to
bomesteaders on the recently opened
Uintah reservation an extension until
May, 10, 1906, to establish residences
was passed.
At 3:44 p. m. the senate went into
executive session, and adjourned at
4:02 p. m.
Washington, Jan. I5.-General de-
bate on the Philippine tariff bill was
concluded in the house today, having
been continued daily since January 4.
The bill will be taken up for amend
ment under the FIVE minute rule tomor-
row, and put on its passage either to-
morrow or the next day.
Preceding the debate today, the
statehood fight made its appearance on
the floor for the first time, in the form
of personal explanation by Babcock,
OF Wisconsin, credited with being the
leader OF the opponents of the joint
statehood forces. Babcock denied that
his course in opposition to the bill was
dictated by any feeling of revenge be-
cause he had not been made chairman
of the appropriation committee. He
also took occasion to state his position
in favor of tariff revision.
