Washington, Jan. S.-The senate
gave attention to the Panama canal,
the situation in Santo Domingo and
the merchant marine shipping bill.
The canal question came up in con-
nection with a message from the
president, in which among other things
he invited the closest scrutiny into all
that had been done by the government
on the isthmus of Panama. Senator
German made that utterance the text
for a speech in which he criticized the
salaries paid for work in connection
with the canal and urged COMPRESSION
al inquiry He said the president was
not so much to blame as congress for
his assumption of control on the
isthmus, and that the chief mistake
had been made when congress re
leased its hold upon canal affairs.
Senator Hale agreed with Senator Cor
man in urging an assertion of the
rights of congress in connection with
the canal and said that while congress
had delegates the matter to the presi
dent, the latter practically had refer
red the whole matter back to con
gress The Dominion discussion
arose on Senator Tillman's resolu
tions making inquiry of the president
concerning the status Of affairs in the
island republic. The resolution was
made the basis for speech by Sena
tor Rayner, which was his initial effort

Washington, JAN 5-"Champ" Clark
of Missouri entertained the house for
three hours with a debate on the
Philippine tariff bill. His speech
took wide range He talked on the
Philippines and favored the pending
hill: he discussed the general tariff
question and in particular the German
tariff situation. He reviewed Mr..
Bryans record on silver and paid his
respects in characteristic oratOry to
the republican leaders. He ascribed
future greatness to what he termed
the great "stand pat" disciples and
declared that one of these, Secretary
Shaw. whose record as secretary of
the treasury included he said, classj-
flying frogs legs as poultry and
ponies as household articles for the
collection of revenue, was the logical
republican presidential possibility I'M
less the mantle should fall on Cannon.
The fight against the bill was opened
in the interest of the beet sugar indus
try by Mr.. FOrdney of Michigan. He
recalled the republican membership
to its pledges on the stand pat
tariff planks of the party.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, D. c., Jan. At is
now Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin.
Through the medium of Senator
Spooner, his colleague, his credentials
were presented today, and on the arm
of his old time enemy he was escorted
to the vice presidents chair and took
the oath of office. After LaFollette
had been sworn in, Spooner introduced
him to several senators and accom-
panied him to his chair. The senate
discussed at some length a proposition
to reprint a magazine article entitled
A Democrat in the Philippines, by Mr..
Newlands, and also a resolution for
the regulation of senate patronage.
Both were adopted A resolution call
ing for information concerning the
status of affairs in SantO Domingo
was presented by Mr. Tillman, who
made an unsuccessful effort tor secure
immediate consideration of it.
The cause of the Filipino was adj
vocated on the floor of the house by
the republican leader, Mr.. Payne, for
nearly four hours today. He pre-
sented the views of the majority of the
ways and means committee on the
Philippine tariff bill reducing the
duties on sugar and tobacco to %
per cent of the Dingley tariff rates
and admitting other products of the is
lands to the United States free of
duty. Before he began and follow
ing Mr.. Paynes speech brief discus
sions indicated that there is to be a
protracted debate on the measure and
that the republican opponents, repre-
senting the cane and beet sugar inter
ests OF this country, will speak and
vote against the bill. Acting on a
printed charge that members of the
house were sending libraries and all
manner of articles free through the
mails, the house instructed its post
office committee to make an investiga-
ton as to whether members are abuG-
inc the franking privilege.

ut is the opinion Of the faculty OF the

Chicago that no game be scheduled between
these Institutions for 1905. To this request
the University of Chicago has acceded.
There is a contract between the uni
versties OF Michigan and Chicago for 1905,
