HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The Indian appropriation bill was the con-
tlnuing order in the House today. An agree
ment was reached to conclude the general
debate on the measure at the end of toda $
session.
Before taking up the bill Mr. Capron Or
ID secured the passage of a Joint resolution
permitting the sale of government coal at
Fort Davis. Alaska, to the citizens of Nome
The situation In Alaska prompting the

CUsHMAN BILL OPPOSED.
Proposed Further Regulation of Fish
ing on Alaskan Coast.

Representatives Of Alaskan Gamers and
fishermen appeared before the House COM
mittee on territories today to oppose the
Cushman bill for the further regulation of
fishing along the Alaskan coast. c. w.
Dorr of San Francisco. Capt. d. H. Jarvis,
Representative Humphreys and Fred Slim
son of Seattle addressed the committee in
opposition to the bill.
The Cushman bill gives the Department
Of Commerce and Labor practically a free
hand in regulating Alaskan fisheries, and
the measure was criticised chiefly on the
ground that it centers too great power in
the department.
Mr.. Dorr, who is general counsel for the
Alaska packers association and a vice pres
ident of the corporation, said the Cushman
bill involves provisions for the regulation
of fisheries, which, If enforced would ruin
many Gamers. The Secretary of Commerce
and Labor is authorized by the bill to fix
fishing limits. and could so restrict fisher
men that great hardship would be suffered

FoREsEEs AGREEMENT.
Berlin Thinks Police Question is Near
Settlement

BERLIN, March Private conversations
between the German and French ENJOYS at
Algeciras have brought them almost to an
agreement on the Moroccan police contro-
Versy, so near, indeed, that the foreign
office here regards q satisfactory issue of
the conference as assured. Germany, 1t
Is understood accepts France and Spain as
having the officers best fitted for policing
Morocco and France accepts international
control in principle, undertaking to supply
adequate guarantees that the police shall
not be national in character
1t is the specific form of these guarantees
that remains unsettled and continues to be
the subject for discussion. It Is likely that
an international inspectorship will be
created, consisting Of q single officer of
repute from power other than France,
Spain or Germany. One detail which con-
tinues to be discussed is the propriety of the
inspector being located in a neutralized
harbor. The ministers of the powers will
also exercise general observation over the
police.

ing DIR. William s. Lotion. also Of the
civic club. who addressed the committee
at some length. DIR. Lotion said the col

a square deal. He considered the preeenx
system to be entirely too top-heavy. The
foundations of the system were being

high schools should be placed directly
under the superintendent of schools and
that this would be one way OF cutting

thought there was very little difference

that being followed today.

Schools for the younger children were neg
lected. while too much money was spent
for the higher branches of education. Mr..
Birney also disapproved OF the distribution
OF free text books, claiming that it was
tendency toward pauperization.
He was interrupted by Representative
Green. who said that Fall River. his home
town. had been the first to distribute free
text books. and that 1t had been found such
splendid idea that now every town in the
commonwealth had followed the example
set. From Massachusetts, the free text
book idea had spread all over the country.
Mr.. Birney also claimed that the present
board of education had sectarian bias,
and that the hymn books in use in the high
schools at present should be expurgated.
