TWO CRUISERS ORDERED HOME.
The Brooklyn and Tacoma VIM Not he
Sent 10 Chinese Waters.

WASHINGTON, March 2l,-Orders were
issued at the Navy Department to-day
directing the cruisers Chattanooga and
Galveston to proceed from Alexandria,
Egypt, to the Philippines. The two cruis-
ers, together with the cruisers Brooklyn,
fiagship Of Rear Admiral Sigsbee, and
Tacoma, are now at Alexandria. The
departure Of the Chattanooga and Calves
ton from that port will be on March 20.
Their going has nothing to do with the
situation in China, as the plan for sending
them to the Far East was made months ago.
The cruisers will take the place OF, the
battleship Oregon, which has arrived at
Honolulu on her way to the United States.
The Oregon will go TO Puget Sound for 70
pairs which will take two years. The
Brooklyn will return to the United States
in two or three weeks. The main reason
for her stay at Alexandria is on account
Of the visit the Prince Of Wales will make
there about April l.. The Tacoma will
remain In the Mediterranean a while longer
and will ultimately return home.
The decision to have the Brooklyn and
Tacoma come back to the United States
speaks well for the situation in China re-
garding the chances Of an anti-foreign
outbreak, as it has been the plan TO send
both vessels TO the Far Fast In the event OF
a more serious situation in China

AIp.SY, March 2I.-The Judiciary Com
mittee Of the Assembly has reported a

CONGRESSMAN PATTERSON DEAD.
Expires suddenly or Heart Failure at His
Home In Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Representative
George r. Patterson Of Pennsylvania died
at his home here at $50 o'clock this morning
OF heart failure. He had been In excellent
health and spirits for the last several weeks
and his death was a shock to his many
political friends. He leaves a widow and two
children.
Mr.. Patterson was a stanoh Republican
and represented the Twelfth district OF
Pennsylvania in Congress. He was born
In Lewiston, Pa, In 1883 and attended the
public schools and academy at that place
until 1880, when he left school to go into
business. Since that time he had been
employed as a travelling salesman. first
In the hardware business and for tHe Last
twelve years In -four and feed. At the time
Of his death he was thu Pennsylvania agent
for q Minneapolis mill. He was a delegate
to the national Republican. convention
at Chicago In 1904 and was elected to the
Fifty-seventh and Ffty-eighth Congresses
and reelected to the Fifty-ninth Congress.
Immediately after the reading Of the
journal In the House Mr.. Samuel announced
the sudden and unexpected death OF his
colleague. The usual resolutions OF regret
were adopted and at 1908 o'clock as a
further mark Of respect the House adj
journed until tomorrow. Speaker Cannon
announced a committee to represent the
House at the funeral.

THE SEASIDE COLONY BILL.
Assemblyman Agnew's Attempt TO Emas'
oulate lt Fails.

oulate It Fails.
ALBANY, March Alt developed to-day
that 1t was Assemblyman George b. Agnew
who had emasoulated the New York city
administration bill to establish q seaside
colony for the siok poor and oonvalescents
of New York city.
Mr.. Agnew would not incorporate his OBJ
j~ections to the bill Mr.. Tompkins introduced.
Instead he prepared a new bill and had 1t
reported by the Cities Committee as a oom-
mittee bill.
When the latter bill came up In the Assem-
bly, to-day on the order Of second reading Mr..
Tompkins moved to substitute his original
bill. He explained that II Mr.. Agnew
wanted the credit OF introducing such a
measure he could strike out his. (Tomp-
kins's) name from 1t and insert his own.
But he objected very, seriously to theemascu-
lation Of the bill and said that the measure
prepared by Mr.. Agnew would prevent
anything being done for q seaside colony
for another year. .
Mr.. Agnew was silent, his only interest
being in offering an. amendment. to his
bill which permitted the renewal Of q lease
Of lands and property taken for the purpose
Of the colony; This amendment was de-
clared adopted.
Then the surprise Of the session came,
for the majority Of upstate Republicans,
as we'll as the Brooklyn Republican Assem-
blymen, voted with the Democrats to sup
port Mr.. Tompkins's motion and the Temp
kins bill will be substituted for the Cities
Committee measure, but Mr.. Tompkins's
name will not be connected with 1t.

OPPOSES WATER SUPPLY PLAN.
senate or SAKE Says the City Can Get Enough
Water without Crossing the Hudson.

VNtCt Wv
ALBANY, March Ex-senator SAKE insists
that it Is rank extravaganza for New York
city to spend $500, 900, 900 in getting an addi-
tional water supply IN Ulster county In view
of the fact that enough water runs to waste
over the Croton dam to supply the present
needs Of the city, and that for 500, ooo, 900
the city could supply its future needs from
Duchess county without crossing to the
west shore Of the Hudson River.
Accordingly, to-day Senator SAKE intro
duced a bill repeating the law prohibiting
New York city from getting a water supply
from Duchess county and extending from
three months to one year the time within
which the State Water Board shall act on
the plans of New York city for getting o
water supply in Ulster county. Senator
SAKE followed this up by introducing this
resolution, which was adopted;
Resolved, That the State Water Commission
is hereby requested TO transmit to the Senate,
within ten days hereafter. a full and COM
plete statement of any proceedings taken
by it in connection with the application Of
the city of New York for the approval OF
maps and prohles for an additional source
of water supply for such city. together with
COPIES Of the petition of the Water Commission
of the city OF New York for the approval Of
its plans and prohles and Of the report. II
any, made by the engineer OF the State Water
Commission to such commission in relation
to such proposed source of water supply for
the city Of New York.
Senator SAKE says he has been informed
that the State Water Board has informa-
ton that New York city can get all OF the
water it needs on the east side Of the Hudson
River without crossing into Ulster county,
and his resolution asks that this
be transmitted to the Senate.

DISAGREE ON TER RATE BILL.
DIFFERENCES OF DEMOCRATIC
SENATORS WIDENING.

Some View Bailey's AMENDMENTS with dis
trust-His Colleague, MIR. CulbersOn,
IL Opposed to Them-Ono neDn0crat
says Hepburn Bill May Pass AZ At H.
WASHINGTON, March 2I.-The differences
Of opinion among Democratic Senators on
the rate question are widening. 1t Is be-
coming moro apparent daily that Senator
Bailey's efforts to solve the question by
amending the Hepburn bill are not meeting
with encouragement from his party COL
leagues. A leading Democratic Senator,
who is q member Of the steering committee,
expressed the opinion to-day that every
amendment proposed would be voted down
and tho Hepburn bill, with no important
changes, would be passed. Other Senators
are of the opinion that the rate bill will be-
come a party matter and will be amended
and passed by Republican votes without any
Democratic aid.
The Democratic Senator mentioned ex-
planned that Mr.. Bailey's efforts to amend
the bill had commanded the support OF a
number of Republican Senators and we're
therefore viewed with dlstrust by certain
Senators on his own side Of the chamber.
II Is known that Mr.. Bailey's colleague, Mr..
Culberson of Texas, Is very much opposed
to the Bailey amendments, and other Demo-
cratic Senators, notably Overman OF North
Carolina, Daniel Of Virginia, Latimer OF
South Carolina, McCreary Of Kentucky and
Dubois Of Idaho, are Of the opinion hat the
Hepburn bill Is more satisfactory in Its pres
emit form than 1t would be with the Bailey
amendments added.
Senator Morgan Of Alabama agrees With
49, a~l nin ln Nha nnlV IlQmn@
cratic Senator probably to vote for MIR.
Foraker's substitute, which purposes TO
make the courts the immediate and final
arbiters OF complaints arising from the
Interstate Commerce Commissions exer-
else Of the rate adjusting power.
1t lie expected that Mr.. Bailey's absence
from the Senate on account Of the death OF
his father will cause delay In reaching a
conclusion on rate legislation. The dis
oussion Of his proposed amendment 9, which
1t Is understood will provoke mu oh debate,
will hardly be ~precipitated In his absence.
1t is understood that Senate Spooner has
been preparing to answer Mr.. Bailey's
argument submitted in the Senate Mon
day In defence of the power OF Congress to
prescribe that no interlooutory decree or
order shall issue from O United States Cir
cult Court to suspend a rate fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission pend
ing judicial review to determine the reason
ableness Of such rate. Many lawyers in the
Senate did not accept Mr.. Bailey's argu-
ment and the authorities cited as oonclu-
sive upon the point. They contend that
the Circuit Courts have certain inherent
equity powers which Congress has no right
to limit.

BAILEY,S FATHER DEAD.
Texas Senator Receives the News while
Debating the Rate BIN.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Shortly before
2 o'clock to-day Senator Bailey suddenly
withdrew from the railroad rate debate and
left the Senate chamber. At the time se1t
ator Patterson Of Colorado was pursuing
a question he had ~propounded to Senator
Bailey. Mr.. Tillman, at the conclusion OF
MIR. Bailey had received a telegram ani
nounoing the death of his father and had
therefore withdrawn from the debate.
j.. w. Bailey, father OF Senator Bailey
died in New Orleans to-day. Mr.. Bailey
was born in New York in 1884, but waa
a prominent resident of Crystal Springs
Miss, whence he was taken to New Orleans
