FAVORS RAISING SALARIES.
Senate Committee May Restore the
Amendment Rejected by House.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The sub com
mittee of the senate committee on ap-
preparations, which, for the last week,
has been considering the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, has considered the question of in
creasing the salaries of senators and
representatives., and now it seems prob
able that the sub committee will recon-
mend an advance of so per cent on con-
gressional salaries. The sub committee
is practically unanimous in the opin-
ion that such an increase should be
made, but there is a general feeling
that the house should have inserted the
provision.
1t also looks as if the committee
would recommend that the provisions
for increasing the salaries of the vice
president, speaker and cabinet officers
should be eliminated unless a CORE
spending increase is secured for senators
and members of the house.
Many members of the committee
think the senate should be given an op-
portunity to pass on the subject, and
will advocate the incorporation of an
amendment in the bill by the commit
tee covering the entire subject.

RAILROAD IS NOT LIABLE
Employers Liability Act Declared Con
trary to Constitution.

Louisville, Jan. e. Judge Waltel
Evans, in the Federal court today, de
clared the employers liability act I'M
constitutional. The decision was given
in the case of the administrators of n
c. Brooks VS.. the Southern Pacific rail
way, and is believed to be the first
handed down in connection with this
act.
The alleged cause of action occurred
in Kansas. The husband of the plain
tiff was killed in a railroad accident
and suit was brought under this act for
$25 900 damages and an amount suffi-
cient to cover the cost of expenses Incl
dent to death. The court holds that
the act in effect would regulate COM
merce within the state as we'll as inter
state commerce and is therefore uncon-
stitutional. The demurrer of the
Southern Pacific railroad to action for
damages is sustained.

ARMS SHIPPED TO CUBA.
Secretly Struggled and Troops Are
Now Searching for Them.

Havana, Jan. 2. - A statement is
made here that several thousand rifles
and machine guns represented to have
been landed in Pinar del Rio province
and hidden in the woods near Mariel,
have been as secretly taken away. The
recent movement of troops and police,
which was considered mysterious in the
light Of Governor Magoon's statement
that there was no fear OF an uprising
in Cuba, is explained by this announce
ment, as it is known that the move
ment was in the nature of search for
these arms. The possibility of clash
between Cubans and American troops
is considered remote, as their relations
are good. The natives, however, are
plotting against one another.
Just who is responsible for the ship
ment of the arms into Cuba is not
known. One theory is that the arms
were purchased by the former liberal
junta IN New York and shipped too
late to be used in the last movement
1t is feared that the arms are now in
the possession of the negroes in the
province. There are indications that
it is going to be difficult to repress dis
order by the growing bands of negroes,
who are burning corn fields and tobacco
barns, robbing estates and stealing
cattle,
