Washington, March 2.-The first pri-
vate claim session Of the 58th congress
occupied the house today, rs bills be-
ing passed. All these measures carried
email amounts for the relief OF private
individuals, who are precluded under
the laws from obtaining their rights.
Opposition to many of the bills was
made by Mann, of Illinois, and Shack
leford, of Missouri. This opposition
accounted for the small number of
measures considered.

Washington, Feb. 90. - The treaty
between the United States and the Do
minican Republic, under which the
former undertakes to collect and dis
burse the customs revenues of the lat
ter, was reported to the senate in exec
utive session today by Senator Lodge.
While the treaty was given place
on the senate legislative calendar by
the report made today, it will not be
called up until after the railroad bill
has been disposed of, and even then it
may go over for some time.
For three hours, lacking three min
utes, today, Foraker held the attention
of the senate while he read carefully
prepared speech on the railroad rate
question. His speech was a protest
against any general legislation, on the
theory that the existing Eikins law
could be go extended as to make it an
swer all the requirements. He did
not fail, however, to point out what
he considered the defects of the
Hepburn Deliver bill, and he made
the decla, alton more than once that it
would fail to remedy the evils COM
planned of The speech was listened to
by large attendance, both on the
floor and in the galleries, and at it's

Washington, Feb. 27.-Military mat
ters held the attention of the house to-
day, the army appropriation bill being
under consideration for amendment.
That General Corbin and General Mac.
Arthur might become lieutenant gen.
erals, the provision abolishing that
rank was eliminated on . point OF order
raised by Grosvenor, OF Ohio, who sub
stituted an amendment to abolish the
grade after these officers had been pro-
NOTED, but this, too, met defeat. Mem
bers of the appropriations committee
disputed the right of the military COM
mittee to appropriate for an apparatus
for fire control of field artillery, but
without success. Only eight of the so
pages of the bill were passed upon
when the house adjourned.

Wednesd February %.

Washington, Feb. 2S. - The details
of the provisions of the army appropri-
alton bill occupied the house of repre-
sentatives throughout the day.
Throughout members of the sppropri-
alton committee, headed by Chairman
Tawney, were in controversy with
the military committee. Each contest
was an effort either in the direction of
reducing or restricting the amounts
carried in the bill. In some cases the
appropriations committee was success
full, and in others the military COM
mittee.

Thursday, March |.

Washington, March l. - The discus
sion of the railroad rate question was
continued in the senate today by Dol
liver, who spoke in support OF the
Dolier-Hepburn bill. He said that the
bill was intended merely to supplement
the existing interstate commerce law,
and contended for it's validity from a
constitutional point of view, predicting
that government ownership of the rail-
roads would be forced upon the coun-
try if congress did not meet the present
demand for regulation. Dolliver was
not que.tioned, and, when he con-
cluded, the remainder of the day was
devoted to the bill providing for the
settlement of the affairs of the Five
Civilized Tribes of Indians after the
termination of their tribal relations.

ceived favorable action by the military
committee, it was brought in by Prince

plause on both sides Of the house.

 ments.
REPUBLICANS GET BUSY

Washington, June 20.-(Special. )--Sena- tor Morgan celebrated his sgd birthday today by delivering the strongest argu- ment yet heard in either branch of Con- gross in favor of sea level canal. The senator's speech was replete with infor nation which showed him to be the best informed man on the subject in the coun- try. He quoted extensively from the technical engineers reports and answered unflinchingly the arguments made in claim of the lock system. Alarmed by the Sen ator's unanswerable arguments. the ad- ministration senators are busily engaged tonight in trying to get a sufficient num- Der of votes to carry the the lock system of canal. They claim that they will have a majority regardless of the preponder ance of engineering authority the other way
 Senator Morgan contended that the con- trol of the waters of the Chagres river was the key to success in the contraction of canal and said that in view of the fact that there are no doubts that this can be done by means of dam at Gam boa, and engineers differ as to the ef- ficiency of the Gatun dam, he had decided in favor of the former, and therefore had decided to give his support to a sea level plan of which the Gamboa dam is a part.
 He discussed the Presidents preference for lock canal speaking of 1t as 'texecu- tive fore-ordination and called attention to the fact that the President himself had spoken of the sea level canal as the ideal canal Mr. Morgan thought the country rich enough to build the best possible ca nal

URGES THEM TO GO
 IN FOR POLITICS
Hearst Tells Labor Men They Can Gain Much By Entering
 Political Field.

Washington, June 20.-"I believe that labor can better obtain it's ends by enter Ing into politics and making any reason able demands of the people and of the government as national factor than by resorting to force, such as calling strikes. By that l mean that labor can gain a great deal by entering the political field. '
 This was the opinion expressed by Will liam R. Hearst of New York, after a brief visit today to the meeting of the executive council of the American Feder- ation of Labor, now in session here.
 MT. Hearst had been invited by Presi- dent Gompers to give to the council his opinions as to, the question of labor en- tering into politics in the effort to obtain the ends for which it is working.
 "T,he labor movement should disas- sociate itself from partisan politics and then labor people regard themselves not so much as democrats or republicans, but as labor men, and use their great strength and their great influence to elect to Con- gross candidates favorable. After showing the great power the labor element pos sess, they will receive respectful consider ation of their demands.'
 "What part will you take in the move- ment?" was asked.
 'Tlle same part I heretofore have taken" replied MT. Hearst My ideas are just the same. My newspapers will treat this question just as they have treated it me in any way. and don't believe any thing will be pledged in the future. No political alliances so far as I know have been made, or are contemplated.
