SENATE TAKES RAP AT r. r.
Hangs UP Waterways Commission
Bill and Rejoices.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The senate
stood a little in awe of President
Roosevelt yesterday when it came to
dealing with certain items of interest
to him Altho the charge Of premedi-
in each instance, it is safe to bet that
his recent few remarks by the message
route, more or less (unkind in their
nature, were recalled with grim salts
faction by the senators.
To begin with, a bill to legalize the
presidents inland waterway commits
sion, which Senator Newlands attempt
ed to have placed as an order" for
Jan. 20, was given short shrift. The
senators all along have little fancied
the presidents appointment of the
commission without due process of law
and then attempting to have it legal
lied, and it gave them a peculiar thrill
to sandbag the bill when it bobbed up
for a moment yesterday afternoon and
they felt happy over pushing it back
into it's hole, even If they did nave TO
rob Senator Newlands of the floor ana
his right to make speeches and motions
in order to do it.
In executive session of the senate,
when the various presidential appoint
ments were confirmed, 1t was agreed
to hold up the nomination of Samuel
B. Donnelly to be public printer for a
long enough period to inquire what beT
came of the other public printer. whose
appointment was confirmed by the sem
ate last spring. And, anyway, ut was
good to let Mr. Roosevelt know that
he had to have the senate in his bus
mess, even if he did see fit to use "un-
happy words" about that body and the
rest of the congress in his message.
Donnelly undoubtedly will be con-
firmed as public printer, but the wait

WHEN ROOSEVELT sloEsrEps.

In. matters political, social and of
business. President Roosevelt is
straight up and down like length of
pump piping but it looks as tho he
were lodging criticism when he as
sures the country that his big game
trip to Africa is to be taken wholly
in the interests of science and to the
benefit and pleasure of the Smithson-
ian. In men who have felt the wild
lust of game killing the statement will
arouse suspicion that the president
feels the protest against killing for
snort and is trying to let himself down
easy.
Any man who has pursued game
knows the lure of the hunt. 1t is atavis-
tic, and belongs to the primitive man,
the original animal. 1t means the eX-
ctement OF the chase and the wild
satisfaction of the kill Ut it's end. Men
ton in WATCHING, the swift fight change
into the tulmbling drop of a bunch Of
flesh and feathers when the nitro
snaps out its deadly signal; the bunch
of hair and the govt of blood that
marks the spot where the deer stood
when he fired, delights and thrills the
inherited savagery of the deer hunter.
It is sport, keen, cruel. bloody sport,
but it speaks to an impulse strong in
most men and born in every boy. 1t is
the old killing instinct that kept the
primitive man and his pack alive. The
boy with the % rifle, doing his best to
STAY robin or a lark is simply re-
turning to first principles. even tho he
comes back with his teeth and claws
lengthened by the distance a small bore
rifle will carry and kill.
1t is instinct more than science that
is sending Roosevelt half around the
world to drive soft nose bullets into
lions, tigers, elephants and the like.
He is going because he likes it. He
delights" in hunting with the Zest of
Sioux. If one desires specimens of
mountain lions it is scarcely necessary
to chase them with dogs and kill them
with butcher knives but there is all
kinds of excitement in it, A common
black bear is one of the most tirnid
and we'll understood of wild animals;
there Is no real occasion for specimens
of him and ha is not dangerous ex-
cept to sheep and beehiyes. However,
there Is a world of hard work and hap
piness chasing him thru the cane
brakes and ending him with a bullet
as he stands among the dogs at bay.
Usually as men grow older they hunt
less for two reasons; they see the
needlessness and the cruelty Of such
killing and they find less fun in the

may be bit tedious.
President Roosevelt was given an
other gentle rap and a tacit Gliding
for bothering the senate with matters
1t had not asked for. thru the issuance
Ola senate order sending back to the
various departments whence they
came, all documentary exhibits which
the president forwarded to the senate
on Tuesday with his message about the
Panama canal purchase.
There was no ordered printed for
the information of the senate" COM
manded by the vice president, as is
usually the custom when documents
come along which all hands may like
to view. On the other hand, there was
"a summary sweeping out of the whole
set of letters, contracts, maps, and
sheets and figures without so much as
a casual looking over on the part of
any senator. The theory of the rejec-
ton of the mass was that the Panama
material had not been called for, there
fore why print all the documents and
have them lying around littering up the
place?
The senate's rejection of his invita-
ton to fix time for considering bill
to appoint an inland waterways COM
mission of nine persons, which has al
ready passed the house, was a sad
blow to Senator Newlands, who, by the
way, was the only democrat who cham
.pioned the presidents cause during the
heated debate in the senate yesterday
concerning the late caustic remarks
from the executive about the secret
service.
The opposers Of both the inland
waterways and Mr.. Roosevelt sought
to tire out the Nevada senator by hav-
ing the bill read. Then Senator AID
rich suggested that there was no quor-
UNI present Senator Newlands be-
nignly overlooked the rudeness of the
and insisted on his mo-
tion to make Jan. 20 the day on which
the commission bill should come up.
Senator Hale won the day for the OBJ
structionists by moving an executive
session.
The vice president thought that was
capital idea, and accordingly declared
the Hale motion carried. With Mr..
Newlands and his motion both up in
the air the doors were banged shut
and the senate went into solemn con-
clave on various pending nominations.
Inasmuch as the senate does not con-
vene again until Saturday Senator
Newlands will have time to think over
what he will have to say about the pc
culiar parliamentary procedure which
left him and his waterway bill high and
dry.

cruise about the district picking UP the

wherein a new postoffice building and

GOVERNOR WILL DEPORT THEM
State Insane Asylum Is Dumping
Ground for Aliens.

A wholesale deportation of foreign
ers now confined in the state insane
asylum may follow an investigation
begun by Governor amberlain and
Superintendent Steiner about month
ago. The attention of the governor
was attracted to the matter by the ar
rival at the institution, at the time be
was making bis monthly inspection,
of two Swedish sailors, who could not
speak word of English. An inspec-
tion was then made of the foreigners
confined and the startling fact was re-
vealed that the majority of them had
come to this country as sailors for the
first time aud. immediately on landing,
had to be taken into custody. This
made it appear to certain mem bers of
the asylum com mission as if there was
an attempt on the part of other nations
to ship their insane to this country as
sailors with the intention of unloading
them onto our institutions.
The fate of three of those inmates
suspected of having been thrown onto
this state for support. has already been
taken up with the commissioner of i'm
migration and almost any day the
necessary papers will be prepared for
their deportation.
