DEPEW RESOLUTION DEFEATED
Request for His Resignation Beaten
by Decisive Vote.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 17.-The state
senate during the afternoon by vote
of 81 to | rejected the resolution of
Senator Edgar T. Bracket of Sarato-
ga demanding the resignation Of
Chauncey M. Depew from the United
States senate. After a debate lasting
more than three hours and charac-
teriZed ON the one hand by Senator
Brackets unsparing denunciation of
Senator DepeW and the insurance
companies and on the other hand by
the almost equally harsh criticisms
of the judgment and the motives of
the introducer of the motion, the roll
call showed Senator Brackets own
vote to be the only one in favor of
the resolution. Every other Republi
can senator voted against it with the
exception Of Senator Armstrong of
Rochester, who is in New York, and
he sent telegram to Senator Tully
to the effect that If he were present
he would vote against the resolution.
The fourteen Democratic senators
were excused from voting on the
resolution. Senator Grady, the Demo-
cratic loaded, said the Democrats re-
garded the Depew issue as purely a
Republican affair, they felt like the
man who, looking on while his wife
was fighting with bear, shouted go
1t old woman; go 1t bear"

RAILROAD RATE QUESTION.
Senator Fulton Precpitates q Debate
in the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Unexpected-
ly the senate during the day found it.
self considering the railroad rate
question, which was precipitated by
Mr.. Fulton's taking the floor to make
a brief speech in explanation of an
amendment offered by him to the Dol
liver bill, giving to courts of Justice
authority to modify orders of the in
terstate commerce commission impos
ing an unreasonable rate. He had not
proceeded far when he was switched
from a general explanation of the
terms Of the provision to defense of
the principle which it seeks to es-
tablish and general debate followed
Mr.. Fulton held the floor throughout
but there were many Interruptions
and other senators fully shared the
time, among them being Messrs.
Foraker, Spooner, Bailey and Clay,
The discussion was listened to most
attentively by all the senators, show
ing the great interest that is felt in
the subject. The trend of the con-
troversy was all toward the point as
to whether congress has the right to
delegate its authority to fix rates and
whether the courts may determine
what is reasonable rate. Mr.. Full
ton contended that the courts may
legitimately exercise this right.
Mr.. Scott made brief speech in
support of the merchant marine ship
ping bill.

The most welcome news that has
ever been received by the people of
the Milk River valley came from
Washington this week, when it was
learned that the Department Of the
interior had authorized the issuance
of call for the immediate construc-
ton of ;wenty-three miles of the great
Milk River ditch. This canal will
connect st. Mary's lake with the
north fork of Milk river, and If the
bids submitted come within the esti
mates, contracts will be awarded with
in ninety days for the beginning of
construction on the first section of
the Milk river irrigation project which
includes the building of the dam at
St. Mary's lake and the construction
of twenty three miles of ditch.
The sum OF 100000 has been set
aside for the first section of the sys-
tenn, AMI it has been decided that the
work to done first shall be the con-
struction Of q dam at the outlet of St.
Marys lake and a canal across the
country to the north fork of Milk
river.
This means that the government
has refused to negotiate further with
Canada concerning the right to water
flowing in Milk river, which rises in
Montana, flows for about 100 miles in
Canada and then ret urnS to NJ ontana.
If the Canadians feel aggrieVed, it is
up to them to make fight, and while
they are conducting diplomatic ne
gotiations, the Unites States reclama-
ton service will be fastening to di-
vert, appropriate and use the water
in controversy.
Press dispatches say that it is pro-
posed, by the reclamation service, to
divert the water from tk st. Mary's
river and carry it across gravel ridges
to the north fork of Milk river

TWO ARE MURDERED
MfNN NESOTA MAN KILLS His WIFE
AND THEN SUICIDES.

Elk River, Mimi, Jan. ia dou-
bic murder and suicide, the result of
Woman's alleged infidelity, occurred
in the little village of Otsego, in
Wright county, three miles from here.
Willard r. Brandt first killed his
wife. A few hours later he shot JUS
tin Adams. Then he finished the
bloody business by destroying him
self.
No part Of the tragedy was wit
volVed, but the circumstances con-
clusively show that the first victim
was the wife. She and her four-year
old son took dinner at neighbor's
house, and the woman returned alone
to her home It was then that she
was shot and killed. She had tried to
defend herself with a butcher knife.
The afternoon was spent by Brandt
with Lewis Mcdonald, a neighbor.
Brandt went to B. Fl. Hams store,
where he found Justin Adams, the in
direct cause of the woman's murder
Adams was induced to go to Brandt's
home to look at wagon he had
talked of buying, and the two men
were seen approaching the barn to-
gether. That was the last seen of
Adams alive.
His body was found in the barn
with a gaping bullet hole through
the forehead.
Brandt appears then to have gone
back to McDonald's, where he picked
up his little son, pressed him to his
heart and kissed him. Then Brandt
returned home, wrote and sealed
some letters to relatives, also an open
note accusing Adams of wrecking his
home and telling where the bodies of
his victims were. Brandt then shot
himself through the temple, probably
dying instantly.

PRESIDENT CHOSEN.
The Duke of Almodovar VIII Preside
The Conference at AIgiras. The
French and Germans Ap-
plaud the Policy of
Presiding Officer.

welcomed the conference in the name
of King Alfonso, Herr Won Radowitz,
the German ambassador to Spain, and
head OF the German delegation, rose
and pointed out that the position al
phabetically of Allemange Germany
gave him the right to propose the
Duke of Almodovar for president OF
the conference The election OF the
duke was unanimous.
The duke thanked Herr Won RADIO
witz, and the other members Of the
conference.
Secretaries were then chosen,
among them being M. de Margerie,
formerly secretary of the French en-
bassy at Washington.
Seconded by French Delegate.
M. Revolt, former governor of AL
giers, who heads the French delega-
tion, warmly seconded the Duke of
Almodovar's statements. He urged
the conference to adhere to thoughts
SO happily expressed by the duke and
to take as the basis of the projected
reforms the triple principle enun-
ciated.
Herr Won Radowitz joined M. Revolt
i'm expressing the hope that the work
Of the conference would give fruit
full result
The conference decided to take up
! first the question of the surveillance
of contraband and then that regarding
the reform of Moroccan finances.
This decision indicates the disposi-
tion of the conference to put off the
more delicate questions involved un-
til the last.
| The conference adjourned for day
in order to give the secretaries an
opportunity to prepare for their work.
It transpires that an interesting
vote took place at the first days
meeting on the question of the hour
for the daily sessions. Sir Arthur
Nicholson, the British delegate, pro-
posed 10 o'clock a. m, and this was
| carried by a vote of to 4. France,
Great Britain, the United States, Bel
GUM, Italy and ustria-Hungary voted

Algeciras, Jan. 17.-The opening of
the Moroccan conference during the
day was chiefly notable for the spirit
of Cancellation manifested throughout
the formal inaugural session The
events Of the day were the gathering
OF the ambassadors with their extern
siye staffs, and the one-hour's session
In which the Duke of AlmOdovar,
Spanish minister of foreign affairs,
was unanimously elected president of
the conference. The dukes speech
of acceptance breathed concord and
peace 1t counselled the nations to
adjust their differences and empha-
sized the essential principles of the
sovereignty of the sultan, the terri
torial integrity of Morocco and the
open door. 1t was significant that
both the French and German delega-
tions heartily seconded the remarks
of the duke, thus foreshadoWing the
amelioration of Franco-German rela-
tions.
The ENJOYS were driven to the con-
ference in court equipages sent from
Madrid by King Alfonso. The mule
trains in the narrow streets had to
make way for these equipages, but
otherwise the presence Of these sug-
gestions Of more brilliant worlds than
that of this little Spanish seaport in
no way affected the townspeople.
Delegates in Afternoon Dress.
The delegates had agreed to make
themselves comfortable and not to
trouble about uniforms, so most of
them were in afternoon dress. The
Moors were the last to arrive and
their white draperies, turbans and yel-
low shoes added an odd touch to q
gathering that otherwise looked like
an afternoon tea.
There were seven Of the Arabs,
dignified men with watchful eyes, and
all with athletic frames except Mo-
hammed Ell Torres, whose figure is
bent under the weight of his eighty
three years, and who walks with a
long staff which he handles more as
lance than cane. ..
The Duke of Almodovar met Mo-
hammed FL Torres at the head of the
stairs, distinction which was not
shown to the other delegates. The
repose of the Moors was shaken for a
second by the rattle Of camera shut
ters in the hands of some thirty for
eign photographers, which sounded
as though a file of soldiers was cock
ing it's rifles. Fully 100 newspaper
men and artists representing illustrat-
ed periodicals lined the approaches.
After the Duke of Almodovar had

To THE HA VRE HERALD:

There are two forks of Milk river
the north and the south, crossing the
international boundary twenty-five
miles apart, running in q general
northeasterly direction from their
source.
The north fork, for many miles,
flows through narrow canyon, with
steep sides It is proposed to carry
the canal down the St. Mary's for six
miles to Spider creek and lake and
thence to the north fork Of Milk river
at a cost of $685. The north fork
is to be crossed by an inverted siphon
with an arch of I'll feet, and the canal
is then to run to the south fork, at q
total cost of 81, $4,000. The canal is
then to run northeast to Macleod gap,
with maximum cutting of 167 feet,
and through o gently undulating coun-
try for eight miles, continuing until,
at a distance of sixty-four miles from
the head, the canal will reach the top
Of bluff from which there will be
necessary grade drop of 205 feet.
After this drop, the canal is to be
continued through the basin of Cut
Bank creek, q tributary of the Marias.
Down the Cut Bank and the Marias,
the water will flow for distance of
about 100 miles, and then, near VIII
low creek, not far from Concord sta
tion, ON the Great Northern, it win
be diverted through q channel, to Big
Sandy creek, down which the water
will be conveyed 10 Milk river, or res
ervOirs, not far from Havre. From

SHORTAGE IN STATE TREASURY
That Of Kansas Shows a CeTcit O.
$4,000.

1fCrDUU-
Topeka, Kan. Jan. IA tota1
shortage in the Kansas state treasury
of about $4,000 is shown by the re-
port Of Accountant Morris in the
treasury examination just closed, ac
cording to a summary Of the repGrs
prepared by Governor =. w. HOcEs
and made public late in the afternoon.
The report covers all the transactions
made by the state treasurers from
Jan. |, 1898, to June 80, 1905, incIud
ing the two full terms Of Former
State Treasurer Frank Grimes and
one term and six months of the ad
ministration Of Thomas r Kelly, the
present state treasurer. The largez
part of the shortage appears In tho
accounts of the Office during tho
Grimes administration. OF the total
of $4,000, 100000 is due to missing
coupons from bonds owned by the
state school fund, and $4,000 is due
to loss Of interests on warrants is
sued by the territory Of Oklahoma to
the state of Kansas.
Governor Hoch declined to discuss
any action that he may take.
Former State Treasurer Grimes Is
sued a statement In which he ABSOLUTE
ly denies any responsibility for the
shortage In Oklahoma warrant inter
est and says he is able to account sat
isfactorily for all the bond coupon
shortages except SIPS. He says he
is willing to make good any shortages
for which he Is responsible.
Aside from the shortage shown, the
Morris report makes sensational dis
closures concerning the erasure of the
Estate property" stamp from the back
of the coupons and the mutilation OF
records in the Office of the state treas
urer and state auditor.

STEVENS GIVES TESTIMONY.
In Regard to Labor Conditions on

to the labor conditions, declaring that

the situation is to be met economical.
ly and the canal built within i Tea-
sonable time. The minority report Of
the consulting board 0f engineers ro.
garding the type Of canal has net
been received and therefore Mr.
Stevens will be recalled tOr ar3mfna-
tfon on this subject before be sails
for the Tsthmus. The committee VIII
meet soon TO take up the nominations
of canal commissioners, but there Is
said TO be little chance Of an agree
ment being reached
Sanitary and labor conditions on
the Isthmns were the chief subjects
considered during the day, Air. Stew
ems described the negro labOrer from
Martinique and Jamaica as shiftless
and incompetent TO such an extent
that the payment of a small wase for
an eight-h0ur day Is proving an ex-
travagance. He declared that the re-
peal of the eight-hour day, so far as it
applies to the canal zone, is q neces-
sity and that 1t would be beneficial to
legl3late SO that the Chinese exclusion
act will not apply to the zone. He
said that such legislation would in no
manner injure the American laborer,
as the latter is untitled for employ
ment there.
It was the opinion that the commits
sion is getting matters in shape 50
that good showing can be made to
congress in the near future.
