+ PROCTOR BEGINS ATTACK
Asserts Senate Should Make Changes in
e.. House Meat Amendment.

Washington, June Ex-senator Proc
tor today called up in the senate the
agricultural appropriation bill and made
the usual motion for agreement to the
request for a conference. He then made
a statement concerning the house sub
stitute for the meat inspection provision
saying, there were two essential points
Of difference between the two houses.
One of these he said was the omission
by the house Of the senate provision re-
:quiring that, the date Of inspection be
placed on cans containing meat and the
other the transfer Of the cost of in
spection from the packers to the nation
al treasury - II q $50.
Speaking Of the latter change he said
that it was radical and in his opinion
unWise and advised that the house
amendment on that point be not &C
}ceptcd.
- The packers could, he declared, afford
the expense as an advertisement, for
looked at in that light, the government
certificate would be Of immense benefit
Mr.. Proctor also charged that the nu
merous, protests which have been com
ing to the senate on this subject have q
common origin: in Chicago and in sup
port Of his statement read a number OF
protests to show the language to be
practically the same wherever they may
be dated. - :

colleagues yesterday afternoon his rea-
sons for favoring lock canal for Pan
ANA. The map showed plainly how the
proposed Gatum dam will make great
lake with forty-fve feet depth Of
water at place where the sea level
would have only $50 feet width with
fortyfve feet depth. He elaborated on
the advantages Of the lock plan and
took up the assertions made by oppon-
ents Of lock type that the Gatum dam
site had mud underpinning.
Z" whether the material is mud, soft
clay or rock is for the scientific men
to find OUT he continued. "We can
not tell here. But we can tell here
whether these borings are mud or not. -
With this the senator sprung sur
prise in bringing out samples of Dor
ings made at Gatum. Senators smiled
as he put the samples down on their
desks, the resounding whack proving
the stone substance.
Mr.. Kittredge wanted to know at
what depth the samples were taken.
Mr.. Knox replied that all were plainly
labeled and that he would refer to
them later The samples were passed
around the senate.

Washington, June 20.-The state
ment made by friends of Senator Gam
BILE that President Roosevelt had de-
termined to appoint James D. Elliott
torney for the district of South Da-
kota, has been confirmed.
In reaching this conclusion the presi-
dent has settled a fight that has been
on since before congress met last De-
cember. At that time the organiza-
ton, headed by Senator Kittredge,
thought it had Gamble beaten. It de-
termined to let Elliott out and recon-
mend Judge Biernatski for the place.
Gamble commended that he was not. a
dead duck by any means, and he in
sisted upon Elliott's reappointment.
The president did not decide between
the factions while the anti-convention
fight was on, but simply let the mat
ter rest. J-l
When Senator Gamble returned to
Washington Monday, he saw the presi-
dent and discussed patronage matters
with him. the result being the an
nouncement that Elliott was to be re-
stored to his old place which he had

the massacre was organized in st. Pc
tersburg. But our conclusions are that
it was not planned in st. Petersburg
Neither do we find proof that Chief Of
Police Sherometieff Of Bialystok was a
party to the plot. However, the re-
sponsibility of his subordinates, to-
gether with that of the rank and file
of the police and some of the military
officers who fondly imagine that the
off has not ended, is clearly proved.
We have failed to clear up whether
a policeman or an anarchist threw the
bomb. Our Investigations only demon
state that the real cause of this and
similar tragedies is the position of the
Jews, which makes the ignorant Rus
slams consider them to be pariahs, out
side the protection Of the law. The Jews
everywhere are now organizing socle-
ties for self-defense and as soon as they
show the slightest resistance to persecu-
ton they will be treated by the. troops
and ignorant pOpulace as revolutionists,
for whom simple death is too good.
Parliament must insist on the punish
ment of the guilty.
AS proof of the charge that the mass
acre was prepaid in advance, the Jews
say that the keepers of the government
wine shops received notice the day be-
fore the outbreak to remove their cash
from the shops to safer places.

Sioux City, Iowa, June 20-Inasmuch
as the contest" between Cummins aud
Perkins has resolved itself largely into
a question Of whether the state conven-
ton shall be allowed to settle the con-
tests from the various counties or
whether that power shall be appro-
priated by the state central commit
tee, there has been much anxiety to
know the position that would be taken
by the Washington delegation.
Inquiry at Washington discloses tho
fact that all thirteen, except only Con-
gressmen Hepburn and Lacey, who are
from the Blythe reservation, are in IA
vor Of fair play.
The Cummins men Of the eleventh
district hold a whip hand over Con-
gresham Hubbard. They can defeat
him for denomination if they wish, as
they control the district. He is chair
man Of the delegation from this county
and if he allows the fifty-eight Perkins
votes of this district to be cast for I'M
fair methods in the state convention,
he will likely lose his head. -

He wanted them both to be-, but, as
previously stated, failed in his effort
to displace Lamb with Lever. The SEN
ate conferees are Mr.. Proctor, chairman
of the senate agricultural committee,
and Mr. Hansbrough of North Dakota,
and Money Of Mississippi. The per-
sonnet OF the house conferees insures a
very pretty contest when the committee
gets to gether to take up the agricul-
tural appropriation bill, of which meat
inspection is a part.
Pure Food Tomorrow.
The failure of the house to take M
the pure-food bill yesterday afternoon
under suspension Of the rules, arose
from the fact that number Of mem
hers expressed a desire to discuss the
bill. This would not have been proper
under the rules governing suspension,
and so it was agreed that the bill
should come up on Thursday to be con-
sidered for several hours and then put
to vote. 49,
One Of the purposes of the house in
getting rid of important measures I'M
der suspension Of the rules looks in the
direction of adjournment of the sec
tlOns. A bill under suspension can be
disposed Of in short order, while, COM
ing up in almost any other way, it is
sure to occupy considerable time. And
at this period of the session, time is
valuable.
Want Early Adjournment.
Senator Aldrich Of Rhode Island
went over to the house yesterday after
noon for conference with the speaker
regarding adjournment. His trip was
made at the suggestion of Senators
Hale and Frye Of Maine. The state
convention in Maine will be held June
~, and not only the senators, but the
house members above, are anxious to
attend it. This they cannot do unless
congress can adjourn on the Goth.
The meat-inspection question has now
gone to conference, and may. therefore
be regarded as practically disposed Of
The purefood bill will be disposed of
on Thursday, and on that day, also, it
is expected that the senate will 90 on
record as being opposed to a sea-level
canal. It., therefore, seems probable
that this week will see the conclusion
Of the consideration Of the more i'm
portant questions that are still pend
| ing, leaving only the appropriation bills
to be got out Of the way. These, it is
said, can be disposed of in a week o,
