Volcanoes Doing Double Turn

Naples, Jan. IL. - There was sud-
den eruption of Mount Nesuvius yester-
day, and the resultant scene of pictur-
esque magnfcence was witnessed by
thousands of tourists, including many
Americans. Three streams of lava
reached the lower station of the rail
road, causing serious damage. There
are indications that the present activi-
ties of the volcano are increasing. The
eruption is thought to be connected
with that of Mount Aetna, in Sicily,
which is in state of eruption without
precedent since the eruption of 1899.

Washington, Jan. 8. - Speaker Can
mons efforts to win the insurgents over
to the Hamilton joint statehood bill
have met with little success apparent
iy, and the joint statehood proposition
is still shrouded in uncertainty. The
insurgents claim they have more than

Monday, Jan. B.

Washington, Jan. S.-The senate to-
today gave attention to the Panama
canal, the situation in Santo Domingo
and the merchant marine shipping
bill.
The canal bill question came up in
connection with message from the
president, in which, among other
things, he invited the closest scrutiny
into all that had been done by the gov.
eminent in the Isthmus Of Panama.
German made that utterance the text
for II speech, in which he criticised the
salaries paid for work in connection
with the canal, and urged congression-
al inquiry. He said that the president
was not 30 much to blame as congress fol
his assumption of control on the 18th.
mus, and that the chief mistake had
been made when congress released its
hold upon canal affairs. He agreed
with German in urging the rights OF
congress in connection with the canal,
and said that, while congress had dele.
gated the matter to the president, the
latter practically had referred the
whole matter back to congress.
The senate took up the merchant
marine shipping bill and Gallinger
spoke in support Of that measure.
Quoting the utterances of Presidents
Mckinley and Roosevelt on the i'm
portance of building up the merchant
marine, he urged congress to heed these
admonitions by passing a law that
would relieve the situation.
The senate then, at Alb P. M, went
into executive session, and at APO ad.
journed.

Tuesday, Jan. 8.

Washington, Jan. 8. The propriety
of discussing in open senate resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Bacon cal
ling upon the president for an account
of his appointment of delegates to
proposed conference in Moroccan affairs
to be held by European powers at AL
gericas, Spain, was considered for four
hours today, and then by strict party
vote, i. was decided that the resolution
should be executive business. Bacon
in supporting his resolution, contended
for public session, and Spooner de-
clared that the adoption of the resolu'
tion would be an encroachment by the
senate upon the constitutional rights
of the president, and virtually OF hit
powers as chief magistrate.

Washington, Jan. 9, - The Philip
pine tariff measure was the single topic
OF consideration in the house today.
The speeches were uniformly against
the measure and were allowed to go, in
general, without answer. DEPRESSION
in the form of tariff revision discussion
was made in brief speech by Gillette,
of Massachusetts, who favored Cana
dian reciprocity. Bonynge, OF Colo
rado, discussed the bill! from the stand
point OF the beet sugar industry.

Thursday, January II.

Washington, Jan. H. Before going
into executive session today, the senate
stened to a speech by Hepburn in
support of his bill creating a national
board for the control of corporations,
in which he denounced Wall street be-
cause OF its alleged interference with
the affairs OF the country. He said
that when the "street" could not die
tate the financial course Of the govern
ment, it was ever ready to threaten
disaster, and he pleaded for legislation
that would rob it of such power for
evil.
The remainder of the open session
was devoted to discussion of the prac-
tice of the senate of sending resolutions
to the calendar after they had been
under discussion. Bacon raised the
point of order that there was no rule
requiring such a course, and said his
Moroccan resolution had been improp-
erly placed on the calendar. He also
coptended that the resolution had not
had days discussion. The matter
was not disposed of in open session.
He argued that he could not say what
had occurred when the question was
under consideration in secret session,
but when pressed eaid that il permitted
to do so he would cay that the resolu-
tion itself had not been considered at
that time. On the suggestion OF Nor
gan, the senate at :26 p. IN. went into
secret session for the consideration OF
the subject.

DOINGS OF OUR NATIONAL
BODY OF LAWMAKERS

There were two opportunities to resume
consideration of the subject, but both
we're 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,
cials, 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. - A vigorous
speech in favor of the Philippine tariff
bill by Dalzell opened the proceedings
in the house today. 1t was followed by
several others against the measure,
most notable of which was a two-hour
address by the veteran statesman, ex-
Speaker Keifer, of Ohio, who returns to
the house after a retirement OF 20
years. Keifer bespoke "standpat'
doctrine OF the most pronounced type.
lie said he would oppose the pending
bill because it was q 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, Jan. IL. The Philip
pine tariff debate in the house today
consisted more of party maneuvering
for advantageous campaign material
than of discussion OF the question at
issue. The tariff was the text Of a
speech by Grosvenor. Of Ohio. who be-
gan the debate, and OF An extended re-
ply by Williams, the minority lexder.
The speech of Grosveor was spiced with
wittcisms and enlivened with Interrupt
tion from Champ Clark, at whom Gros-
venor aimed most of his arguments.
Williams outlined the specific tariff
doctrine of the Democratic party and
held that the Republican tariff was
not, as 30 often claimed, responsible for
the prosperity of the country. To
prove this. he cited the prosperity OF
Canada, Mexico and other countries at
the present time, and the business de-
preston of these countries during the
hard times of 1898.
Adams, of Wisconsin, opposed the
bill, but advocated the readjustment OF
the tariff on business principles. Nc
Kinley, of California, delivered his
first speech in the house in favor Of the
measure, and pointed finger of warn
ing toward the growing industries OF
