PILOT BILL BEATEN
LITTLEFIELD's PET MEASURE
 FALLS BY WAYSIDE.
The Reuublicam Representatives Change on Ground That If Adopt ed 1t Would Tend to Central
 fxatIOm of Power.

Washington, Dec 6.-The Littlefeld pilotage bill to remove discrimination against American sailing vessels in the coasting trade was defeated in the House today, 110 to 164
 MT. Mann of Illinois asked if the bill was not selfish to degree, and MT. Humphrey of Washington, replied it was selfish in favor of American vessels, and that the Middle West seemed to want no legislation except that which affects the cornfelds MT. Shorley of Kentucky said the bill was drawn in the interest of the North Att lantic ports and to the hurtfulness of the pilotage business in Southern ports.
 MT. Littlefield stated that the meas ure sought to create a free pilotage system from Old Poinf ~amfort to the Rio Grande such as exists from Old Point Comfort to E port. Me, and also from British Col ibia to Mexico, on the Pacific coast.
 He remarked that a p"rnicious sys- tenn had grown up in Mississippi ports wherein discrimination was made arainst Maine coastwise vessels and in favor of vessels from other ports. This Mir. williams of Mississippi indignant ly denied.
 The roll call disclosed decided change from what had been expected by the le. ders. many Republicans vot- ing against the bill on the ground that 1t was a move toward centralizatlon on the part of the nation.

MORGAN'S SPEECH
ALABAMLAN ON FLOOR
 OF SENATE.
Declares Panama Railroad Legal Fic- tiOn to Enable Country to Avoid its Responsibility as Conn
 mon Carrier.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Senator Nor gan today addressed the Senate on his resolution looking to giving the Pan anna Canal Commission control of the Panama Railway.
 Tn reply to a question from Senator Hale he said that he would not seek today to secure action on the resolu- tion. In making the inquiry MT. Hale mentioned the probability of an early message from the President on the ca nal question and suggested the wis., dom of deferring all action until 1t shall ka received.
 MT. Morgan spoke of the Panama Railroad as "a legal fiction. or as an sartihciaI entity to enable this. coun- try to avoid its responsibility as a common carrer.'
 If Congress should enact law re- curing the tearing @up of the Pananta Railroad. Mir Morgan said. no creditor could enioin Such destruction.
 Mr. Morgan maintained that Mir. Cromwell, whose several connections with the Panama Government and the Canal Commission he enumerated. was the only one who benefited by this maner of managing the road.
 Tt gives Cromwell absolute control of the road as though he were it's sole owner" he declared.
 MT, Morgan advocated putting the railroad under the control of the Ca nal Commission, although with the con trol the President exercised over this Commission, he said, "any wild, arro- gant man who happens to be President could infiict inca1culable injury on the country"

BRYAN ON
 THE MESSAGE LaudS and Roast the
 President. JAP QUESTION DANGEROUS Roosevelt May Be Threatening Purely Local Government.
Nebraskan DepIOres WarliIe Attitude of Executive tn Recommending Increase In Naval Armament
 for Purposes of Peace.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 6.-Commenting on President Roosevelts message, Will Ham J Bryan says there is much in It which is bad. but 1t may be regarded as the Presidents most important state paper. Mir. Bryan says
 The message contains much that Is Democratic, and for which the gem eral public may well thank him.
 Tt contains some things that ought to arouse severe criticism. The Presf- dent boldly approprlates some of the doctrines which the Democrats have been advocating and on the other hand he announces some doctrines which are so absurd as to excite amusement, if the suggestion came from less prom inent source. In some cases he takes advanced grounds; in some cases he re- treats from ground already taken"
 MT Bryan complains that what the President says on the subject of gov ernment by injunction will not be sat- isfactory to the laboring men or to those who represent the right of trial by jury. The Presidents stand on child labor is commended as is also the position he takes on the eight-hour law and the right of the people to crit iciZe a judge.
 Referring to Mir. Roosevelt's refer ence to the Japanese subject MT. Bryan says: He pays deserved tribute to the progress of the Japanese nation and asks for legislation which will en- able congress to protect the treaty rights of foreigners That there should be such legislation cannot be general iy disputed but great deal depends upon the character of the legislation.
 "IG any bills are presented in regard to this sugs estion, they must be care fully scrutinized to be sure that they do not deqy to the various states the right to protect themselves and their people in matters purely local"
 Finally Mir. Bryan depiores what he calls the presidents warlike attitude. He says: There will be general disap- pointmenf at the warlilge tone Of his message where he discusses the amy and navy. He speaks of the navy as the snrest guarantee or peace which fhts country possesses.
 l s~Shame upon the chief executive that | he should place an instrument of brutS force above the nations sense of Jus- tice as a guarantor of peace. The best guarantor of peace IS our nation principle to deal justly with other na- tions. War ought to be last resort, not a first consideration. It Is bad enough to have few protectional soI- diers. It Is not necessary that the whole nation shall be keyed up all the time to the fighting point"

 Count Boni, however, was not greatly disconcerted. Wearing, a red necktie and a lavender colored waistcOat and with his hands in his pockets, he ad- dressed the chamber after M. Jaures alrlly arguing that France was con- rnuing the policy of ex-Foreign Min ister Delcasse, who aimed rt the con- quest of Morocco.
 After Boni de Castellane, M. Herbet reporter of the Algeciras conference and M. Pichon. the foreign minister had spoken, the chamber passed vote of confidence in the ministry. 457 ayes to ffty-six noes. The Algeciras con vention was then ratified by the unan- imous vote of the chamber,
 The galleries were crowded. M, Jaures, the socialist leader, opened the proceedings by interpellating the Gov ernment on the reasons for undertak- ing action in Morocco before the rati- acation of the Algeciras convention.

 Seattle, Wash. Dec. Ex-Governor AL bert E. Mead has come out in emphatic language as being opposed to the Pres ident's recommendation that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalization of the Japanese.
 T am unalterably opposed to such 0 course" said the Governor yesterday. Naturalization of the Japanese would tend to degrade the American work mon.

 "We ore very near to the countries of the orient, whose teeming millions could be poured into our shores should we throw down the bars to them. The two races will not assimhate.

 We cannot extend our citizenship rights to one Asiatic country, without doing the same to the other. have great admiration for the President, but l believe he is wrong in this matter. The Japanese are poorly fitted as American citizens. I have always con- tended sc"

 Are Hanging Heavy.

Louisville, Dec. 6.--It was learned today that the repeated mention Of Associate Justice John M. Harlan, Of the Supreme Court of the United States, as a possible Republican candidate for governor of Kentucky had finally call ed forth . definite statement from him on the subject.
 This statement took the form of a let ter from Mir. Harlan to his friend and former partner, Mir. Augustus E. Will son, of Louisville. Judge Harlan has not only been personally importuned by great many to make the race; put a large number of newspapers In Ken lucky and throughout the country nave published articles giving weight to the consideration Of his name.
 The letter is as follows;

Rome, Dec. 6-At the consistory held today in place of the public consistory previously planned, Cardinal Samassa, Archbishop of St. Rigonia, Hungary, who was present, although suffering from illness, received the red hat

 More than ever, now" the Pontin said, "the church can be compared with a ship buffetted by the waves in the midst of the ocean. But our faith does not vaccilate in the least. Indeed, we are more than ever sustained by our belief in the eficaciouS assistance or Christ, who. when the time to succor us comes, will rise and command the wind and sea to go down so that the perfect tranquility so much desired will beam on us.
 "The greatest comfort of Catholi- cism, a comfort which Is confoundine the enemy, the Pope added. was the "sIneular concord which prevails through Episcopacy. so fully united to us. May God make all Catholics con form to these most brilliant examples of their pastors and follow their di- rections.
 '"This imposes a sacred duty on the Christian profession which is empha- sized by the present needs of religion namely that where (alluding tC France) there Is hostility against the Church, the people there should be urged to proceed with compact strength, and in those regions (allud- ing to Spain) where hostility Is threat ened, Catholics should generally sink all personal animosity and dissensionf and neglect no means permitted by the laws and by the Christian conscience to overcome the evil"

Chicago. Dec. 6.-Only two witness es were on, the stand today h the Shea trial.
 The first. was Joseph Schultz, who testified yesterday and was called to- day for cross-examination. Tho second was William Kelly, formerly an ofti- cer of the coal teamsters union. For several hours the cttorneys for the defense made a strenuous effort to impeach the testimony given yesterday by Schultz but were unable to change his story in any essential point. The attorneys endeavored to show that Schultz had entered a plea of guilty for a consideration of some rort and drew from him the admission that he had received an overcoat fem an en- ploye of a detective agency whose op- eratIves have been guarding him since the commitment of the trial.
 Schultz, however, denied that he had been induced to plead guilty and said that he expected to go to the peniten- tiary.
 Kelly gave evidence regarding acts of violence committed during the strike of which he had personal know ledge.

 The attorneys for the defense in the Shea trial today made vigorous efforts to obtain from Joseph Schultz, the wit ness of yesterday, who toll of slug gins non-union men and of throwing acid eggs at horses. an admission that he had been promised certain Induce ments to plead guilty.
 Almost three hours were consumed by attorneys for the defense in the ef- fort to draw from Schultz t..e state ment that he had been promised some- thing If he would plead guilty and turn States evidence. The only answer that could be procured from the witness however, was that he inew he waa guilty as charged ih the indictment and had decided to throw h..1self on the mercy of tha cgurt.

 Tokio, Dec. 6--Most of the papers here highly eulogizs President Roose- velts attitude toward the Japanese as expressed in his message. The Asahi is delighted that the confidence re- posed in the President has been real ized. It says:
 By his firm attitude, prompted by a lofty sense of justice, President Roose- welt has added new lustre to his al- ready great fame. It>is to be hoped that true Americans will unite in sup- port of his righteous policy"
 The Hochi praises President Roose- yeIt's attitude as just and impartial, and is rejoiced to find 1t in perfect ac- cord with the views of the Japanese government
 Public opinion here it says, "be- lieves that he must have been actuat- ed by an exalted sense of patriotism to save his country from dishonor by clearly defining the relative power and authority of the Federal and State governments"
 The Jiji is grateful that President Roosevelt has expressed exactly what the Japanese would say. "They feel at ease" it declared, since the Japan ese cause has been placed in such a powerful hand"

GILLETTE NOT SENTENCED.
Cosnsel Did Not Have Time to Prepare
 Brief.

BrhfGs
 Herkimer, N Y.. Dec. s.--Chester F. Gillette was not sentenced today.
 He was taken into court at the ap- pointed hour. but hls counsel had been unable to prepare in the brief time at their disposal for motion for anew trial which they desire to enter before sentence is passed. The stenographer's report of certain parts of the trial are essential in their preliminary work and the stenographer was unable to get out the required work in so short a time.
 On that account the court enter tained q motion that proceedings be postpohed until Monday at 10 a. m.
 There are and have been for some time all kinds of rumors that Gillette has been overheard to make some kind of a confession that he killed Grace Brown.
 Some of these stories are that jail officials heard him confess to his law yers; others that he told visitor who called on him that he had struck the girl and that the visitor told the Dis trict Attorney. Nobody connected with the case in any connection will confirm any of these stories.
