NSURRECTlON IN REPUBLICAN
RANKS OF THE HOUSE RE-
FUSES TO BE SUBDUED.
NOT DEAD, JUST MAPPING
Tariff Has Been Presented, It Is
Said, Because the Sudden Awaken
ing of Unruly Element Is Feared
Limiting Changes Is Contempt ated.

Washington, March 24.-Like a
South American revolution the insur-
gents in the republican ranks in the
house refuses to be subdued While
there is no apparent indication of any
movement on the part of the "insur-
gents" to reopen their fight, it is
known that no rule to limit amend
ments to the tariff bill has been
brought in because of the uncertainty
of the intentions of Representative
Murdoch of Kansas and the other "in-
surgents." 1t is understood that the
rules committee is merely awaiting a
favorable opportunity to bring in a
rule which will limit the changes in
the Payne bill to committee amend
ments
The rule, which will probably be
presented next week, will not shut off
the reading of the tariff bill under the
five-minute rule, but is proposed as a
means of preventing unnecessary de-
lay in bringing about its passage. AS
several republican members have an
nounced their intention of forcing rec
ord votes on certain proposed amend
ments, it may also be the purpose of
the rule to prevent such votes being
taken.
The proposed rule would be opposed
by large number of republicans and
democrats alike, but as it would pre-
vent votes being taken for the purpose
of putting members on record with re-
gard to certain schedules, it might re-
ceive the support of those republicans
who desire to offer amendments to the
bill.
Champ Clark and the minority mem
bers of the ways and means committee
have announced their intention of op-
posing any rule which will tend to
limit the offering of amendments
The democratic leaders would in that
case expect the "insurgents" to stand
by them The action of the rule would
also require the democratic "bolters"
to go on record again.
The insurgents" believe that all of
the southern democrats who voted for
the Fitzgerald amendments would vote
with their fellow democrats.

| FAVOR CONSERVATION

New York, March 4.-Members of
four national societies of engineers
Joined tonight in favor of the con-
servation of natural resources. They
represented civil, mining and electrical
engineering.
John Hays Hammond read a tele-
gram from President Taft. 1t said:
please say to joint engineering So
cieties that I am greatly gratified to
know of their cooperation in the
movement for the conservation of the
natural resources of the country. The
members of these societies, with their
technical knowledge, are not only bet
ter advised as to the necessity for
such conservation, but are more COM
petent to suggest the methods by
which such conservation can be car
ried out. I have already pledged the
administration to as full support as
possible to the policy and I am glad
to renew my expression of sympathy
with the movement and to state my
high estimate of the value of the aid
which can be rendered by the united
engineering societies"

Caught IN THE ICE
IN ARCTIC REGIONS

San Francisco, March 24-Explorer
V. Steffanson, connected with the
American Museum of National His
tory, has been caught in the ice floes
Of Flaxman island, and will have to
remain some time in the frozen north.
This information was received here to-
day in a message from Dawson, to-
gether with the news that the whaling
schooner Rosie H. is also fast in the
ice. After several months of hardship,
Steffanson is reported to have started
in a small craft to obtain supplies
from the whaling fleet at Point Bar
row. The whalers failed to put in an
appearance and Steffanson started in
search of them. When 40 miles off
Flaxman island his sloop was impris-
oned in the ice. He may have to aban-
don his vessel and make his way to
some native settlement. 1t was near
Flaxman island that the bark Duchess
Of Bedford. conveying the Mikkelson-
Leffingwell expedition, was wrecked.

PROBABILITY OF WAR
DISCUSSED
ADMIRAL ROBLEY D, EVANS
GIVES A FEW POINTERS ON
NAVAL SITUATIONS.

Vancouver, b. c., March 24-Dis-
cussing the question of possible war
between Germany and Great Britain,
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans said
to the Associated Press:
Under existing conditions, / think
there can be only one opinion re-
specting the outcome of a naval war
between England and Germany. 1t is
delicate question to discuss as I
have numerous German acquaintances,
but on the other hand. some of my
dearest friends are British officers and
after all, blood is thicker than water.
1t is certain that Germany is not
building her new navy for her health.
To an outsider it looks as if England
gave Germany great opportunity
when the lord of the admiralty aban-
doned building certain types of war
ships and started the Dreadnaught
class. 1t enables the Germans to start
on more equal footing in the build
ing race. have no fears about Great
Britain not maintaining the lead.
"Dreadnaughts, or larger vessels Of
the same type, are the vessels of the
future, at least for the first class
European powers. These will decide
the fate of nations. Torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers will al
ways have the lead. They will be re-
tanned to make nervous men still more
uncomfortable. Aeroplanes, destined
no doubt, to reach perfection, will also
follow the same rule, especially at
sea. No doubt they may do effective
service on land, but I have my doubts
regarding their efficiency elsewhere
You can anchor an aeroplane to
the top of a tree. but you can't hitch
1t to the crest Of a wave in a storm
"The real scouting at sea will be
done by the aid of fast cruisers and
by wireless telegraph These will be
the guards of the battIeships.
"Oriental fleets will never wage war
outside the Orient. They could never
afford to cross the ocean so far from
their base, for their line Of communi-
cation would soon be cut.
81 don't think that Japan ever
dreamed of fighting the United States.
The Anglo Japanese alliance is a guar
antee of peace. Just figure that out.
But 1t is only question of time
when Japan and Russia fight it out
again"

HARMONY PREVAILS
IN COMMITTEE
FINANCE BODY OF SENATE GET.
TING ALONG NICELY WITH
TARIFF LAW.

Washington, March 24.-The tariff
bill to be recommended by the senate
committee on finance will be ready to
be reported on the day the Payne bill
passes the house, according to the
present intentions Of the republican
members of the committee, who are
holding daily sessions. Consideration
of the schedules on earthenware and
pottery was begun and concluded to-
day
Ideas presented by Senator Aldrich
yesterday in favor of relieving public
expenditures so as to fit the normal
revenues of the government, rather
than expanding the income to grow
ing extravaganza, is receiving general
support among senators. 1t is now be-
lieved that it will be possible to avoid
all forms of special taxes, especially
as government officials are counting
confidently upon better industrial con-
ditions throughout the southern terri
tory as soon as disposition is made of
the tariff legislation.
Few controversies between republi-
can members of the finance committee
are anticipated. The tariff experts in
the employ of the committee, it is said,
regard such questions as those of free
lumber and free hides as purely "senti-
mental" being convinced that placing
them on the free list would subtract
little from the revenues of the country
and that the importations would be so
infinitesimal as not to appreciably en-
ter into competition with American
I,Iy,bor and Ar,arioan biJac
AS the result of the harmony which
exists behind locked doors of the
exists behind the locked doors of the
sion is growing that the tariff law
will be made in conference after bills
have passed both houses. These con-
ferences may continue for several
weeks
The senate committee will begin
holding night sessions within a few
days.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, March 24.-The following
Arbor day proclamation was issued by
Governor Norris today:
Trees growing along the streets and
highways, in parks and other public
places, and about private premises
will furnish a pleasing shade in season
and add beauty to the surroundings
This is the ornamental side of tree
planting.
Trees planted on barren and
denuded mountain sides and in waste
places will in time furnish timber
products of value and afford protection
to the watersheds. This is the practi-
cal side of tree planting,
The planting of trees awakens in
the planter a higher appreciation of
things beautiful and creates a greater
regard for the things practical that
do not mean immediate profit.
"The federal state, county and mu-
nicipal governments should engage in,
provide for and in every reasonable
way encourage tree planting for both
ornamental and practical purposes.
ITO further this most worthy pur-
pose, and in accordance with the
statute in such case made and pro-
vided, Tuesday, the 18th day of May.
1909, is hereby designated as Arbor
day.
"On this occasion the citizens of the
state should devote at least a portion
of the day to tree planting and cul-
ture, and in the schools such exercises
should be conducted as will give to the
children a fuller knowledge of and a
greater love for the growing of trees" ."

LIVER LECTURE At HARNOiS
THEATER TONIGHT.
DIXON WILL SPEAK ALSO

Work With Stereopticon Views.

At the Harnois theater tonight, Sem
ator Dixon, Chief Engineer Savage of
the reclamation service. and District
Forester Greeley will be the speakers
at meeting which has been arranged
by the Neighborhood club. The prin-
cipal feature of the evening will be
the lecture by Mr.. Savage on the re-
clamation work in the west. This lee
ture will be thoroughly illustrated with
stereopticon views and will be inter
esting and instructive. AS chief of the
reclamation work in the west, Mr. Saw
age is well qualified to talk upon the
plans and projects involved in it's ex-
ecution; there is no other man in the
country as well versed as he in the
details of this work, and his lecture
tonight will De we'll worth hearing>
1t had been originally planned to
hold this lecture in the Congregational
church, but yesterday it became evil
dent that the interest in the lecture
was so great that a larger audience
room would be needed. Accordingly a
message was sent to Mr.. Harnois in
Butte asking him if the theater could
be secured for the meeting. In the
course of the afternoon Mr.. Harnois
sent this message to The Missoulian:
IF the meeting is for the general ben
eft Of Missoula, I will gladly donate
the use Of the new theater."
That settled the question of meet
ing place and steps were taken at once
to perfect the arrangements to give
Mr.. Savage the cordial reception which
he deserves. The presence in the city
at this time Of Senator Dixon sug-
gested the thought that it would add
materially to the success of the meet
ing If he would consent to talk to his
are Of general interest here. Mr.. Dixon
later agreed to precede Mr.. Savage
with a short talk dealing with ques-
tions which bear upon Missoula and
her future.
AS president Of the Neighborhood
club, District Forester Greeley will
preside at the exercises tonight and
his presence will add to the interest of
the occasion. The courteous act of
Mr.. Harnois and the efforts of the
club make it unnecessary to charge
any admission and everybody is cor
daily invited to attend. The lecture
will be well worth hearing and Mr.
Savage is man whose personality and
high standing call for hearty recep-
tion from the people Of Missoua. The
lecture will begin at 8 o'clock and 1t
is hoped that every seat in the thea
ter will be filled.

RUMBL|NGS ARE HEARD
BY OREGON RANCHERS

San Francisco, March 24.--A special
from klamath Falls, Ore. states that
the ranchers and settlers in the vioin-
ity of the lava beds where the Modoc
wars took place have been much
alarmed the past few days by rum
blings beneath the earth. Several days
ago slight earthquake was felt, and
since that time there has been con-
tinual rumbling beneath the lava beds
In the past these rumbiings have been
heard and scientists have made inves-
legations to determine their cause. The
most generally accepted theory is that
there are huge caverns under the beds
which occasionally give way. letting
down thousands of tons Of earth and
causing the rumblirgs.
