Favor immigration Bill

But the immigration bill is so gener-
ally favored by the Republican lead
ers that there is no doubt 1t will be
given the next place of preference
on the senate calendar.
There will not, however, be any
further effort at legislation aside from
appropriation bills until the Repub-
lican steering committee can get to-
gether and decide upon program,
which will probably be some time DUR
ing the week.
The general disposition is to con-
fine business to the supply bills as
much as possible, but there is consid-
erable division Of opinion that the

charge of the Philippine commission
from the further consideration Of the

WASHINGTON, May 2o.-A special
report on telephones and telegraph for
1902 has been issued by the census
office.
1t shows that in 1902 the telephone
systems of the country operated more
than three-fourths of the wire milea ge
reported for both telephones and tele-
graphs, giving employment to seven
than two-thirds Of the wages, received
more than two-thirds of the total
revenue and paid more than two-thirds
Of the total expenses.
For the commercial systems the mile
age 4.779,571, and the number of tele-
phones 2,225,9S1; for the mutual sys-
TENS the mileage was 0,105, and the
number of telephones S9.316, and for the
independent lines the mileage was 40, ,965,
and the number of telephones 55547.
Thousands Given Employment
The number of salaried employees en-
gagged in the telephone service was A.
124, and the average number Of wage
earners 64,62S.
The amount paid in salaries was $9,-
SS5, 1856, and in wages $26, 1853, 1856. The
number of messages or talks reported
during the year was 5,070,554553, of
which all but 12O704,S44 were local calls,
the remainder being long distance or
tolls.
Ohio led in the number of messages
with 55S,7O7,SO1 and Illinois was next
with 541, ,16O,932
In long distance and toll traffic
Pennsylvania was first with 20,461, 800
messages, and New York was second
with 20,367024. On the average there
was one telephone to every thirty-four
persons, and each person talked sixty
five times year.
San Francisco Ranks First
San Francisco, with one telephone to
ninety-six persons, was the best tele-
phone city in the United States in 1905.
The average per telephone amounted
to $3.50, and the average per message
to IL cents while the average operating g
expense was $24.50 per telephone and IL
cents per message.
Incidentally the report shows that on
January l, 1901, the number of tele-
phones for the United States was 8, 300,-
900, and the number for Europe 4S5, ,7S4.
The report speaks of the effect of the
telephone as checking the amount of
telegraph business II says that the
rates of the two systems for medium
distances do not differ greatly, and for
very long distances they are over
whelmingly In favor of the telegraph,
if the message be taken as a unit; out If
the number of words be taken into ac-
count as well as the time required for
getting into communication, the tele-
graph is at a disadvantage in case of a
large amount of traffic.
The report says the public employs
the telegraph at the rate of only little
more than one dollar year per capita,
whereas the number of telephone mes
sages is already sixty-five cents per
capita.

May Include Compromise

The conferences on the statehood bill
Indicated that a preliminary report to
the two houses Is possibility for the
not distant future. While nothing defi-
mite can be said as to the character OF
this report, 1t is believed it will include
compromise on the bases of the For
aker amendment permitting the people
Of Arizona and Mexico to vote separate
ly on the subject of joint statehood.
The senate will resume business on
Monday by taking up the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, and when this is passed will
properly enter upon the consideration
of the immigration bill.
Senators have been so engrossed
with the rate bill during the past few
months that they have given very
little attention to other questions. Con-
sequently there is no well defined pro-
gram for future legislation and no one
has definite authority to state what
course will be pursued.

Canal Bill May Come Up


There is very strong pressure to Sc
cure consideration OF the canal bill
this session, while the preponderance
of sentiment on the Philippine ques-
ton appears to be against the re-
opening of the subject.
The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill Will be presented
during the week and will be taken
up for consideration as soon as it is
presented.
The report on the pQstoffice appro-
priation bill will be l4Re in the week
and it, too will receive early atten-
tion.
For all who have followed the prog
ress of Russia's struggle for govern
mental reform this week will hold
great interest, as it is expected that
the answer to the addresses adopted
by the new parliament in reply to the
speech from the throne will be made
Monday or Tuesday.
Dispatches from st. Petersburg indi-
cate that the emperor does not con-
slider the address of the lower house
as being an ultimatum beyond the de-
mand for amnesty, which will take
first place in his reply.
Delay Is Disappointing
IL Is dlSO tNluSnI iiuNi NiSeNP
pointmen is felt in Russia that the
emperor did not make his birthday the
occasion for granting amnesty. The
other nine demands of the address to
the throne will be taken up in turn,
but 1t does not appear, according to
advices from Russia, that they will be
considered as more than suggestions
for the emperor's consideration.
The ANNUAL regatta of the American
Rowing association, often called the
American Henley, will take place on
the Schuylkill river at Philadelphia
May 26. The crews of the principal
colleges of the country have been en-
tered and some stirring contests are
promised
The cup offered by Sir Thomas LIP

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2o.-The
railroad rate bill, the statehood bill,
the diplomatic>and consular appropria-
tion bill, the naturalization bill, the
pure food bill and the reports on Indian
and army appropriation bills are all
possibilities Of consideration in the ma
tional house Of representatives this

With the filibuster of the Democrats
to promote the statehood bill, the re-
suit Will be comparatively small In the
number of measures passed.
The rate bill Is likely to be made the
object of more or less discussion when
the motion Is made to send it to con-
ference. Just what this discussion or
the length of time 1t will take cannot
be ascertained with any deflniteness.

Havana, Aug. 1S-The rumors of
uprisings in 81 a are confirmed in
some quarters. A detachment Of rural
guards last night encountered band
Of thirty men near Rio Hondo, province
Of Pinar Del Rio. The band, which was
commanded by Colonel Pozo, the we'll
known veteran, fed after an exchange
of shots, leaving one horse killed on
the field. It Is positively, stated that
two other bands are roaming about
Pinar Del Rio, led by locally influential
men, but at the palace here it is said
that the Pozo band consists Of fourteen
men, and no other bands are out.
Other rural guards recently encoun-
tered band Of outlaws in Santiago
province. It was led by Enrique Mesa,
a notorious bandit. One rural guard
was wounded: and two Of the outlaws
were captured.
The grounds for the uprising are
vague. and are said to be simply gen:

turous classes.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 1s.-According
TO the information received here, a
large number Of buildings have been
destroyed in Valparaiso and the loss Of
life is said to have been large.
The disturbance was general turnout
Chile, and was felt at some points In
the Argentine Republic.
The property loss is enormous Many
houses were thrown down, including
the government house.
During the night the volcano Lupan-
gait, on the Chile-Argentine border, was
heard roaring and the people fed to the
churches to pray for safety.
At San Juan, in the Andes, high
winds accompanied the shocks. The
shock at Andes City was very severe.
The shocks seriously affected the
towns Of Rosario, Aranas, Rio ia, San
Juis and Tucuman.
:. The Central & South American Tele-
graph company early today received
this message from Valparaiso:
People demoralized; all business
houses closed; no prospect Of an early
restoration Of lines to Santiago or
Buenos Ayres.'

and it is feared that the fate Of that
city is as bad or worse than that OF
Valparaiso
photographic communication is cut of
in every direction, and every one here
is too much depressed by the calamity
at home to seek information of other
places.
No trains have arrived in the city or
left it since the first shock came, as all
the tunnels are filed and the rails
twisted. It is only known from gen.
sral accounts that death and destruc-
ton are on all sides.
Buildings Fall.
There were two distinct and terrific
shocks, the second one following almost
instantly after the first and completing
the work of destruction. The day had
been unusually calm and pleasant. At
8 o'clock the whole city seemed sud
denly to swing backward and forward
and then came sudden jolt Of such
mighty force that rows of buildings
toppled to the earth as if made of brit
tie plaster. Whole rows of buildings
went down in a few seconds.
Soon after the second shock had sub
sided it became known that the bust
7 ness part of the town was doomed.
/ From the Bellavista section little was
4 heard, but before midnight fires were
! seen burning there and it was learned
that that section of the city was also
doomed.
! The city stands upon formation Of
granite gneiss, which seemed to accen-
| tuate the force Of the shock. Before
| the stunned people were given time. to
/ realize the magnitude of the calamity,
| again the city was shaken with vio-
/ in places lifted and pitched the build
! ings forward. In other places there was
! a terrible tremor that shook every
structure to the ground. This shock
| continued longer than the first.
When it had subsidized fires were blaz-
:: ing up, and thousands Of terrified per
! sons were praying and panic swept the
| city.
J Many landslides have occurred around
lost there. At present it is Impossible
to state the number of dead In the
entire city, but it is believed that there
Fare several hundred, many of whom
sare still in the ruins.
! It has laid waste the best part of the
T business portion of the city, and has
! doubtless put Chile back many years

& The captain Of tho German vessel
,;Yran, which arrived today at Coquimbo

he could see the flames raging In Val

Tracing the policy Of the United

United States had never employed and
never would employ her army and navy

Such measures, he said, lent themselves

He was an advocate Of arbitration
