Washington, March 9. - The house
Yesterday passed the Indian appropria.
ton bill, carrying $7,7S5.52S. 1t then
proceeded to tangle itself up over the
bill to abolish the grade of lieutenant
general in the army. The result was
an adjournment for lack of a quorum
after members had been locked in the
hall for half an hour and the assistant
sergeant-at- arms had been scWrying to
the various hotels in search Of mem
berS The vote to consider the bill
showed an overwhelming sentiment in
it's favor, and as it is the pending
business under call of committees it
will probably be reached and passed
in due course.
Yesterday afforded the last oppor-
tumity for general debate in the senate
on the statehood bill and the entire
time of the session was devoted to
that order of business. The whole
time was occupied by three senators,
MI Beveridge, supporting the bill, and
Messrs. McCumber and Patterson OPP
posing it.

CHICAGO WINS TRANSIT CASE.
Supreme Court Decision Gives City
Complete Control of Lines.

Chicago, March IA. - The Chicago
street railway cases, involving the
question of the date of termination of
the franchises of the lines running
from the center of Chicago to the
North and West sides, were yesterday
decided by the supreme court OF the
United States at Washington. The
opinion was delivered by Justice Day
and reversed the decision of the Uni
ted States circuit court for the North
ern district of Illinois. He held that
the act of the Illinois legislature of
1865 had the effect of extending the
charter of the railway companies for
ninety-nine years.
By the decision the city of Chicago
obtains almost complete control of the
local traction situation. The decision
sustains the acts of the state legisla-
ture extending the life of the charters
of the street railway companies to
ninety nine years, but does not sustain
the contention of the companies that
contract rights which are limited to
fewer years than remain to the char
tended. Contracts or ordinances of
the city limiting the use of the streets
by the company are upheld and the
rights of the companies in Chicago are
held to expire according to express
terms of the ordinances.
The report of James Dalrymple, the
Glasgow, Scotland, expert, has at last
been made public.
The report, in effect, is against the
municipal operation of street car COM
panies in Chicago, unless it has be-
come impossible to reach an agree
ment with the companies now ope-
rating lines in the city streets.

Tuesday,.

Washington, March 13.-There was
sharp division of opinion in the
senate yesterday over the question
whether the Tillman-Gi Gillespie resolu
tion instructing the Interstate com
merce commission to inquire into the
railroad holdings of coal and oil lands
was of character justifying the presi
dents message regarding it. Senator
Tillman complained that the president
had charged congress with insincerity
pretence and ignorance, and Senators
Lodge and Spooner took the position
that the charge of ignorance was war
ranted. The debate was spirited but
was interrupted at 2 o'clock when the
railroad bill was called up and Senator
Culberson made two hours legal ar,
gument in which he supported bill
of his own which he had introduced as
a substitute for the pending house
bill.
The house devoted it's attention to
legislation for the District of COlum-
bia yesterday.

Ambassador Meyer Will Be Offered
Place as Presidents Adviser.

Washington, March IA. - 1t is the
presidents intention to offer a cabinet
place to George Won l.. Meyer of Mas
sachusetts, present American ambas-
sador at ST. Petersburg. 1t is probable
that the portfolio to be extended will

event that Secretary Taft accepts the
position of associate justice of the SUI

case Secretary Taft does not accept
the position offered, Mr.. Meyer will in

department of justice when Attorney
General Moody retires. Justices Brew

Duluth Is Shaken.

For radius of forty-five miles in
every direction from Duluth the con
cussion could be distinctly felt. In
Duluth every house in the city shook
and in a number of instances dishes
and bricabrac ratified as though an
earthquake had occurred. The opin-
ion everywhere prevailed that the eX-
plosion was close at hand. At Carlton,
twenty miles from this city, and but
one and one-half miles from the scene
of the explosion, the cOncussion was
not felt at all and the inhabitants
there were not aware that one had
taken place until informed by tele-
phone. Messages were sent for ply
sicians from that point and Cloquet,
six miles distant, and by means OF
teams they hastily responded.

BUILDING new SPUR.
Valley and Central to Connect at
Copper Works.

Graham & McKeon have been
awarded a contract by the Raritan
Copper Works to dig out and lay a
railroad spur through part of tho
baseball field so that the Lehigh Val
ley and Central railroad tracks will
connect. They have started a large
force of men at work. The distance
from the Central tracks to the Valley
tracks is about 1000 feet.
While digging this morning the
laborers struck a pocket of fine white
sand and it is expected by the cop
per works officials that this will save
them a large sun of money as the
sand is now being loaded in wagons
and carted to the copper works yard
to be used in building purposes. The
sand is of the pure white grade and
would cost a large amount of money
to purchase.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter this morning Mr.. Graham said
that some years ago this sort of sand
was shipped to New York by boat by
the Watsons, who then owned the
property, and that they reaped a neat
sum of money by its sale.
