TAKES A wHACK AT THE SENATE
BabcOck Talks for the ''Insurgents''-
Bills Death Predicted.

Bills Death Predicted
81 wish to God" Cannon remarked,
''that the senate was twice as good as
it is. 1T performs its functions fairly
well-it is our senate" But to add
four senators where but two should
be added, he declared, would give the
senate too much influence as compared
with the house, based on population.
Reviewing legislation before congress
he said the rate bill would pass that
If the house would stand firm it's state
hood bill would also become a law
land we can stay here for three
months" he declared. Addressing the
insurgents, he added: ''Why joint the
Democracy in order to have your own
way?" The speaker then turned his
face towards the senate and remarked
ION what meat doth this our Caesar
feed that it hath grown so CREATE"
Babcock of Wisconsin followed the
speaker. He at once accused the lead
ers of being eager enough to join with
the Democrats on the Philippine bill,
and they were now criticising those
who intended joining them on state
hood. You have fooled the members
by calling it a conference" he con
tinued, when you knew if you called
it caucus you could not get a quorum.
If the bill goes to conference as sug-
gested it will die"
Stevenson Of Minnesota and David
son Of Wisconsin indicated their in
tention Of refusing to be bound by eau
Gus action, Reeder of Kansas and Bede
of Minnesota took the same position,
the latter saying that the proceeding
was a ''corkus"; at any rate that was
what was being tried. Waldo of New
York and Murdoch of Kansas favored
the bill. After the vote had been TAX
en- on the two propositions Bonygne
of Colorado asked unanimous consent
to offer q resolution declaring the con-
ference not binding. Watson at once
objected to this. and the session was
declared ended.
4 caucus of the house insurgents
was held on the bill previous to the
regular caucus. The insurgents de-
cided to attend the house conference
and vote in 4 body to concur in the
senate amendments to the bill If this
motion failed the insurgents decided
to vote to accept the bill for two
states if the Foraker amendment for a
referendum vote in relation to Arizona
and New Mexico is retained There
were about thirty members present,
and they did not consider that the reg
ular conference would be binding OH

DECIDES TO FIGHT Tr1 s-EATE
Statehood Bill To Be Supported as
Passed by the HoU-e.
Insurgents Refuse To Be Bound
Speaker Says the Conference Is
Binding-Roasts the blouse
of Lords"

Washington, March 16.-As the re-
suit of a caucus, which lasted for two
and half hours, the Republicans OF
the house yoted-126 to 35-to stand
by the statehood bill as it passed the
house and ask the senate for a con-
ference on the measure. This vote fol-
lowed Immediately after a resolution
offered by Mondell of Wyoming, repre-,
senting the insurgents, had been de-
feated-123 to 43-the MOndeII reso-
luton being to agree to the senate
amendment eliminating Arizona and
New Mexico from the bill and asking
q conference on the minor amendments
in the measure.
Hamilton Pleads for the Bill.
Several speeches were made. They
were limited to five minutes each, but
in the case Of Speaker Cannon and
Hamilton of Michigan, chairman of the
committee on territories, the time was
extended. Hamilton opened the dis
cussion with a plea for the original
house bill. He said it had already
been Endorsed by three Republican con-
ferences. He discussed and opposed
the Foraker amendment, declaring it
to be in the interest of corporations
in the two territories affected. He
contended that the bill was supported
by the president and by Speaker Can
non. LET US follow them and fight it
out with the senate" was his conclud-
ing admonitiOn.
Speaker Says the Caucus Binds.
The speaker followed, touching the
first on the binding effect of both eau
cuses and conferences. He took the
position that where the party took ac
ton on any matter of this nature all
members participating were bound by
that action. He contended that the eff
feet of admitting Oklahoma and Indian
Territory at this time and not dispOs
ing of Arizona and New Mexico only
means that there would be four new
senators from Arizona and New Mex
leo instead OF but two senators in case
the house stood firm.

CRIMINAL PRACTICE
 BY STANDARD OIL
Disclosures by the Investigation Con .
 duCted at Cleveland.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 25.-At the conclusion of the afternoon session here today of the investigation of the Standard oil company's methods of doing business, inaugurated by the state of Missouri, Attorney General Hadley of the latter state, who is con- ducting the examination of witnesses, announced that sufficient evidence had been procured during the day to war rant the bringing of criminal proceed ing under the laws of New York.
 MT. Hadley said: Lewis H. Turrell, accountant of Detroit, and for some years an employe of the Standard Oil company, who has been on the stand all day has given us the best expos ure of the Standard oil methods of anything which we have yet obtained.
 MT. TurTell has sworn here today that he was induced by Standard Oil officials to sign the name of F. A. TurreIl to documents when iH reality, his name is Louis Fl. Turrell. His testimony further shows that his sig nature was never sworn to, and the notary who took his affidavit can, un- der the laws of New York, be prose- cuted for forgery in the first degree. It will be up to MT. Jerome to say whether the persons who induced TurTell to sign his name falsely can be included in the prosecutions"

AN ARIZONA
 EARTHQUAKE Flagstaff Rocked by Seismic Wave
Chimneys Thrown Down, Walls Split and People Panic Stricken by the Violent Visitation.

Flagstaff. Ariz., Jan. 25.-(SpeciaD At 1:33 today the people of this city were thrown into a panic by a terrific shock of an earthquake that threw down chimneys, cracked the walls of buildings and shook the plastering from ceilings. This city is situated al the foot of the San Francisco peaks in the very heart of what was at comparatively recent date, a district of marlkey volcanic activity, the sur roundings of cne country being dotted with craters and lava beds.
 The seismic wave came from the direction of the largest of these crslt- CTS in the San Francisco peaks and the rushing grinding sound of it's approach reached the city As it passed beneath the city. buildings rocked and swayed and crockery and bric-a-brac were thrown to the floor and people rushed into the street fearing that walls were falling.
 At the public school, q two-story brick building the children were pan ic-stricken and rushed to the stair ways and but for the coolness and presence of mind of the teachers, some of the smaller children would have been trampled to death. Many persons in the city experienced d feeling of seasickness so great was the rocking motion of the earth.
 Advices from neighboring towns in dicate that Flagstaff was near the center of the disturbance. The vibra- tions continued for about thirty sec onds and the motion seemed to be from northwest to southeast and the wave Graveled at the rate of 130 miles an hour. A second shock was felt at 6 36 and a third at 7:32 p. m. but these were much lighter than the first.

featureless so far as as any hope was entertained of changing the measure in the slightest degree.
 The bill as passed provides that Ok lahOma and Indian Territory shall constitute one state under the name of Oklahoma, and that Arizona and New Mexico shall constitute one state un- der the name of Arizona. Should the terms of admission be ratified by the residents of the territories in question, their respective state constitutions must contain clauses prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor and plural marriages.
 The constitution of Arizona must prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians forever and of Oklahoma for twenty one years. There are many other stip- ulations concerning schools, courts and political subdivisions of the pro- posed new states. Little interest was manifested in the days proceedings, aside from the actual vote on the bill.
 In the debate preceding the vote, MT. Kahn of California spoke vigOr- Ously against the bill. denouncing the wrong proposed against Arizona. MT. MOndeH of Wyoming and MT. Lloyd of Arkansas proceeded along the same line. Messrs. Cole of Ohio, Capron of Rhode Island and Hepburn of Iowa were the speakers for the bill.

The majority of forty-four in the house was about as satisfactory to the president and Speaker Cannon as though it had been d thousand. It signalized the complete overthrow of the insurgents and emboldens the ad- ministration to think that in due course the bill will go to the president for his signature. The opponents of jointure are active and they have the assurance that the fight in the upper house will be fought to the bitter end.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 25.-Survivors of the wreck of the steamship VaIen- cia who were picked up from the life raft by the Steamer City of Topeka. are of the opinion that Captain O. Nj. Johnson, master of the Valencia, made no effort to save his own life. even were a chance presented. According to their story, Captain Johnson was heart broken over the great loss of life attending the loss of the Valencia.
 With tense, drawn face, Captain Johnson, clinging to the rigging with the passengers, thought only of those with him and time and again prayed for assistance.

 Captain Gibbs who went from Seat tie to the scene of the wreck on the steamer City of Topeka, returned acre today on the steamship Texan, which passed in through the capes last night
 I've arrived at the scene of the wreck about o'clock yesterday morn ing" said Captain Gibbs. At that time we could see nothing of the Valencia. There was a thick fog hanging over the straits and nothing but the white foam of the breakers could be seen from our decks The City of Topeka steamed within about three-quarters of a mile of the Valencia. Owing to a heavy sea it was not deemed wise to proceed further.
 We spoke to the steamer Queen and were informed that about g o'clock there was estimated to be about sixty persons still clinging to the rigging of the Valencia The City of Topeka then cruised about the entrance of the straignts in the hope of finding sur vivors. At 12:3O we picked up the raft.
 "The condition of the survivors was deplorable. All were so numbed that they could not get on their feet and had to be hauled aboard the Topeka m the arms of the crew.
 "The survivors informed me that the officers of the Valencia did all they could to impress upon their minds the fact that there would be little chance for help after the last boats had gone. Still the women refused to take to the life rafts and as a consequence men took their places. That was one ot the first questions I asked those of

He contended that there was danger of becoming involved unneces- sarily in the affairs of other countries by participating in the Algeciras con- ference and that this country was not sufficiently concerned with the conduct of affairs in Santo Domingo to justify our course in that island.
 He took the position that the presi- dent had transcended his authority there. MT. Hepburn spoke in support of the annexation of Santo Domingo.
