Favor Important Land Amendments.

Washington, January 24-The Senate
committee on public lands today COM
mitted itself to support three important
measures concerning the public domain.
The first is the repeal of the timber and
stone act: the second to authorize the
Secretary of the Interior to sell the right
to cut matured timber on public lands of
more value for timber than agriculture;
and the third, to authorize the sale OF
lands which have their greatest value
In their marble and stone deposits. A
bill Incorporating these questions will
be adopted by the committee, probably
through the amendment of the Hans
brodgh bill, for the report of the timber
and stone act

Place Responsibility on House.

The House appropriations committee has decided to place upon the House di- rectly the responsibility for the proposed increase in the salaries of members of Congress from 5000 to s7500 per annum. It was at first intended to place this item in the legislative appropfiatiap
 the members finally concluded that 1t would be better to take the matter to the House in another form. Should the appropriation appear in the bill It could be knocked out on point Of order. Therefore, the committee will by resolu- tion ask the House for permission to con- slider the subject If this permission is granted one member will not have it in his power to defeat the item. On the other hand, one member can object to the con sideration of the resolution giving permis- sion to the committee to consider 1t. The parliamentary status, however, is dif- ferent and in case the permission fails no odium could De attached to the com mittee.
 A prominent democrat who talked of the proposed increase today said:
 q think undoubtedly the salaries of members of Congress should be increased, but I would not vote for the proposition to increase my own salary. My idea would be to set in the bill the date of increase several years from now, or stip- ulate that no present member of Congress should ever receive an increase.

GOOD IF 'cRACY IN 7|t '7>|t MESSAGE
  Japanese Passage Meets With
 Little Support
PLAN ID RAISE SALARIES
possibility Will Be Placed on the House Directly-Rivers and Har- bors Bill Not Ready Till
 Christmas.
BY PATTERSON SHELLEY.

Washington, December 4.-(Speeial.) )- "We have lassooed the President 10 the triumphal car of democracy on the ques- tion of an income tax and an inheritance tax. This, combined with the rope al ready tying him. makes him pretty close to being 0 captive"
 Representative Williams of Mississippi made the above remark when asked for an expression of his views on the Presi- dents message. In them he voiced gener- ally the feeling on the democratic side. There was, of course, the usual objec- tion to the Presidents message on the ground of exceeding length, and it's moral izing and sermonizing. Taken all in all, however, it is a pretty good democratic document.
 The Japanese passage met with little support on either the democratic or re- publican sides. The republican members from California are particularly bitter, and they have much support in their own party and the unanimous support of the democrats, who think the matter at issue is entirely within the states con- trol.

WALL PAPER TRUST
 IS WORST OF ALL
COURT HOLDS THAT MAN DOES NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR GOODS PURCHASED BECAUSE TRUST FIXED PRICES.

Cincinnati, December 1.-The United States court of appeals today declared the Continental Wall Paper company, the most complete and ingeniously organized trust that has come to the knowledge of the court W
 The soatinental .p'l Paper sohnAai / brought suit befcfs dge Thompson ot the district court to recover s57,0o0 from Lewis Voight x Sons of Cincinnati for goods sold to them Volght & Sons re- sisted on the ground that the Continental company was trust, and that 1t had Virt ally compelled them to buy all it's goods of the trust and to allow the trust to fix prices at which goods must be sold. Judge Thompson found for Voight ss Sons on the ground that the plain tiff was a trust.
 T. court of appeals, to which an ap- peal was taken, held that the proofs showed one of the most complete and exacting institutions of a trust as de- fined in the statutes, that had come to the knowledge of the court. It holds the trust to be an illegal organization and as such it was not entitled to the aid of the court in support of it's clai,n against Voight & Sons. The judgment of the district court was affirmed and the appeal was dis missed.

NEW ORLEANS FAST
 MAIL DISCONTINUED
SOUTHERN NOTIFIES PoSToFFlCE DEPARTMENT THAT DURING DOUBLE TRACKING TRAIN NO. e7 CANNOT BE OPERATED.

Washington, December 1.-The postoffice department has decided to issue orders terminating the allowances for special fast mail facilities from Washington to New Orleans on January 5. Postmaster General Cortelyes made tflis aenounc <. rn-nt tonight aft T receiving notice from tse Southern railway that owing to in creased traffic and double-tracking of the road, 1t will be unable to continue the operation of train No. 97, after Jan uary ,.
 The last session of Congress appropri- ated s167,00O for fast mail service in the south, and of this amount about $40 0o0 has gone to the Southern to maintain train No. 97, which carries only mail and No 37 which is a limited passenger train.
 The latter, of course, will not be ( continued.
 The appropriation for this purposf been made annually by Congress f{ past eleven years, and the appropl has often been the subject of viz debate in Congress in which opponents the special facilities objected to the propriation as a subsidy.

England Thinks America Has
 0utgrown Cradle
ROOSEVELT UP AGAINST 1T
The British Press Is Especially Pleased by the Presidents Utterancee on the Japanese Question as Affecting
 the California Schools.

London, December 5.-President Roose- velt's message to the American Congress occupies the most prominent place in the leading newspapers this morning and has attracted widespread attention from gov- ernment officials, diplomats and the pub lie.
 The prevailing tone of the comment is favorable, particularly with reference to the Presidents statements on the Japa- nese question, the newspapers emphasiz- ing the Presidents warning of a possible use of the federal forces for the protec- ton of Japanese. This feature of the message has given special satisfaction in official Japanese quarters. It Is pointed out that Japan is satisfied to await the outcome of the issue between the state and federal authorities. The Daily Tele- graph says:
 "The President speaks out resolutely and fearlessly, knowing that the democracy likes man who is not afraid to be it's master'
 The Standard says that the most sig nificant feature of the message is that the President is constantly finding him- self up against" the American constitu- tion. Far-sighted observers have long since seen that the United States has outgrown its cradle, yet the conservative sentiment of the most conservative people on earth clusters strongly around the constitution. If there are to be reforms, they can only result from a drastic re- construction of the political system and the prospect of their realization appears somewhat remote.
 The Daily News says the President seems to be wrestling with forces he can comprehend but cannot control. The Daily Express finds the message a strong demonstration of the fact that the main currents of the national life in England and America are sweeping for ward in parallel lines, namely, the strug- gle of nationalsm against anti-national- ism and of the state against socialism.

GOVERNMENT HAS
 NOTHING TO SAY
SENATOR REYNER'S RESOLUTION IS TO THE EFFECT THAT SAN FRANCISCO CAN REGULATE ITS OWN RACE QUESTION:.

Washington, December 4.-Senator Ray ner today introduced the following reso- lution on the Japanese question:
 Resolved, That in the opinion of the Senate this government has no right to enter into any controversy with any foreign government relating to the pub lie school system of any of the states of the union.
 Resolved further, That it is the opinion of the Senate that there is no provision in the treaty between the United States and the government of Japan that re- lates in any manner to this subject, or in any way interferes with the right of the state of California to conduct and ad- minister it's system of public schools . accordance with its own legislation, and
 Resolved further. That it Is the duty of the President of the United States to notify the government of Japan and to notify any foreign government with which the question may arise, that the public educational institutions of the state are not within the jurisdiction of the United States and that the United States has no power to regulate or supervise their administration.
 Yol:ohama December 4.-Cimoma tograph pictures of Mayor Schmitz and other of- feials of San Francisco responsible for the segregation of Japanese scholars in the public schools have been prohibited by tho police authorities, as subservient to public order.
 The press continues to discuss the mat ter quietly, but pessimlstically.

Appointment Meets With Criticism.

The Presidents removal of District At torney Roulhac and his appointment of Oscar R. Hundley meets with general criticism here, but as an Alabama mem Der expressed it today, it is simply the fortunes of politics and nothing can be done about it.
 It is believed here that Roulhac lost out largely through overconfidence. The Hundley appointment was probably more of a surprise to him than any other man. Roulhac's friends made no effort to see the President, and took it as matter of stirsr tllat he wdH1 be pointed. In lh1 meanlime the re ees go in their work It is believed thai he would have been retained had his ease been placed before the President on a statement of facts, VI That he had made an efficient district a torney and deserved reappoint- ment.
 While there is good deal of talk about opposing Hundley's confirmation, he is not likely to be defeated unless some thing more serious than politics can be urged against him.

Comments in Paris.

Paris. December 5.-The morning papers generally do not comment upon President Roosevelt's message to the American Congress, but they give it the most prom inent space on their pages and publish dispatches from New York recording the feeling of dissatisfaction over the Pres idents references to the San Francisco situation. The Petit Partisan says Pres ident Roosevelt accentuates his continued efforts for peace and justice by discoun- tenacing the attitude of the people of the Pacific coast. LeFigaro says: Pres ident Roosevelt does not hesitate to con demn the Californian attitude with his customary frankness and loyalty" The Eclair says: President Roosevelt's clear vision and knowledge of the present con ditions render him circumspect; he is the only man in the United States capable of causing violent spirits to reflect"
