COMMERCE CLAUSE UP.
Senate inquiries as to Its duplication
to Child Made Goods.
rE,om The Tribune Bureau.l

washington Dec 17-Senator Spooner intro
duced and the Senate adopted to-day resolu-
ton which occasioned wide comment. 1t calls
upon the Judiciary Committee to report to the
Senate whether Congress can constitutionally
prohibit the transportation in interstate COM
merce of goods manufactured by child labor
The resolution is of immediate interest because
1t deals with the subject of the bills introduced
by Senators Lodge and Beveridge. both of which
seek TO prevent the transportation in interstate
and foreign commerce of goods the product of
child labor under the Interstate commerce
clause of the Constitution. 1t is generally be-
lieved that should the Judiciary Committee re-
port that such prohibition by Congress is un-
constitutional there would be little chance of
either the Lodge or the Beveridge bill being
enacted
OF even greater but of less immediate inter
est is the belief of some members of the Sem
are that a negative report by the Judiciary
Committee might go far toward influencing the
Supreme Court were it called upon to pass on
the constitutionality of either the Pure Food
the Meat Inspection law. both of which
thought to stand on all fours legally with the
proposed anti-child labor measures The opera
ton Of the Meat Inspection law has proved so
beneficial to the packers that it is regarded
far from likely it will ever be required to stand
the test of the courts. but 1t is believed to be
entirely probable that some disgruntled pur-
veyor of impure foods may undertake to test
the constitutionaty of the law which hampers
his trade.
Senator Spooner is in entire sympathy with
the ends secured by the Pure Food and the
Meat Inspection laws and deplores the employ
ment OF child labor. but he Is a stickler for
the Constitution and would regard no end as
sufficiently good TO justify its violation.

[From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington Dec. IA party of Western

sentatives Knowland. Kahn, Needham, Smith
and Mckinley. of California: Howell. of Utah.
and Jones. of Washington.
These congressman particularly interested
in the problems connected with the building Of
the canal. but the real motive Of the trip is be-
leved to be their concern in the coolie question.
the members from the Pacific Coast having been
invariably opposed to the Importation OF this
kind OF labor for work on the isthmus Their
intention is 10 make an inspection of the 18TH
and TO become familiar with conditions. so
that they may be able to speak positively the
labor questions involved
Some of the California Congressman are inter-
ested in measures for the regulation Of the Chi
nese and Japanese on the fsthrnus in accord with
the pronounced sentiment Of the Pacific Coast
this subject. One of the proposals is that
there should be a strict registration of all Chi
nese brought in to work the isthmus. The

expense, taking advantage of the holiday recess
TO make the trip. They will sail from New York

Washington, Dec. 17-AdmiraI Dewey in an

over the Presidents special message sent to
Congress to-day on the subject The admiral
said that under the present system all officers
are passed through the several grades until they
finally reach that Of rear admiral, the conse-
quence being that officers are commissioned Com

they reach their grade. and serve such short
times in their grades, that they cannot possibly
obtain the experience that is essential to the
full development of their skill and efficiency.
The Naval Academy supplies the navy with
spIendidly equipped young officers, unsurpassed
by any in the world, and it is the fault Of our
system of promotion that they are not developed
into unexcelled captains and flag officers. We

Goulden said:
The city Of New York has been steadily encroach-
ing this waterway, and by dumping refuse IN
the vicinity has made the channel shallower, The
conditions bad that the captain of one Of
the steamers using the channel told me II was ex
ceedingy difficult TO navigate there. and that one
steamer had gone aground for this reason. The
channel should be deepened and wtdened. and I am
assured that the River and Harbor Committee Of
the House will look favorably on the proposition
Mr.. Goulcen spoke in the House to-day in ad-
vocacy of larger river and harbor appropriations
particularly for New York. He said that inasmuch
more than 90 per cent of the domestic and for
eign commerce passed through New York Harbor,
the government should provide literally for i'm
provements To provide the necessary money he
advocated re-enactment of the Spanish War taxes.
and was in favor of Inheritance tax law so that
the additional revenues might be used for river and
harbor improvements throughout the country.
