that are wrong, but I'd rather retain it
with an opportunity to amend it than
to vote for the Aldrich-Payne law,

beating as true for the Republican
party as ever it beat for family or for

Il never performed an act in my life

the utmost good will for the speaker.
am simply saying that he would have
done just what the human heart would
have dictated to all of us under like
conditions. 1t is farce to call that tar
iff bill the deliberate judgment Of the

press their opinions and their objec-

That's my objection to the house

Ruler of the universe complete power
over all my acts and my future, but
am not willing to give to Joe Cannon

To say:
There Is no longer any question
about Goldfield being the southwest

ton has been finally settled, and the
SURVEYS now under way have Gold
field In view as the terminal. We
have three corps of engineers making
the final surveys of the route, and
by the time the worst of the hot
weather Is over, we shall be ready to
start the grading and tracklaying
gangs out. The surveying can be
carried on through the hot season,
but 1t is poor economy to try TO DO
such heavy work as grading during
the hot summer months in the
desert climate. The construction
work will be well under way In
October"

ALASKA, PROP

ABLE LOSS OF NEAR $500. 900
THROUGH BREAK OF WATER.

SEATTLE. June "A cable dis
patch from Fairbanks, Alaska, says
that the Bessie bench claim at Under
wood has been flooded and that the
damage will total $3.50, 900. The
flood results from the stream point
breaking through a former wall to
subterranean channel.
The Scandia ground also is flooded
The loss here it is believed will be
100000. The damage in both cases
Is irreparable.
Workmen in the ground barely
escaped with their lives by rushing
through the flooding drifts, the shafts
of the mines were filled in two
minutes, after the water broke in.
The river at Fairbanks is very
rapid While the cable received does
not go into detail, it is known that
flood waters have recently prevailed
and it is presumed that the increased
current overcame the resistance of
bulkheads and as frequently occurs
in these waters the river suddenly
cut a new channel.

little short of marvellous by those
acquainted with the conditions by
which they were surrounded under
normal working conditions. A later
cable states that other properties are

the locality have been cleared of

Senate Adopts Resolution
and Will Hereafter
Put in Ten Hours on
Tariff Every Day
GORE MAKES WONDERFUL
MEMORY RECORD N SPEECH
ON COTTON AND WOOL SCHED-
uLES-SHOW PROFITS.

WASHINGTON. June Without
further resistance on the part of the
minority, the senate today agreed to
the resolution providing for night
sessions which was presented yester-
day by Senator Aldrich under the
order OF business. This resolution
will enable the senate TO be in ses-
sion ten hours daily, from 10 a. m. to
p. m. and from s p m. to 10 D. m.
Astonishing the senate with the
citation of a long list of cotton and
soolen manufacturing companies and
giving their earnings, capital stock,
surplus on hand In treasures, etc,
Senator Gore again today undertook
the task of showing that the corpora
tlons engaged in cotton and wool are
making very large earnings.
The speech was one that no. other
senator would attempt without con-
slant references before him, but the
blind Senator from the southwest
finds no difficulty in giving on hand
the greatest varieties of details with
out the ability 10 assist his memory
in any way.
Senators smoof and Lodge. both
spoke In support OF committee pro-
visions The Utah Senator discussed
The subject from technical stand
point. concluding that the senate
bill does not. in reality. include con-
templated duties under the Dingley
law. He undertook. however. TO
show that by various rulings of the
custom authorities these duties had
been reduced an average of 20 per
cent. Il was the purpose of the COM
Mite to carry into effect the exist
ing law lie declared that the com
mittee had been Influenced by neither
manufacturers nor importers.
Senator Lodge gave special at
tention TO the cotton schedule, but In
eidently spoke of the general policy
Of the Republican party with refer
ence to tariff revision. lie contended
there had been no intention of re-
vision of the tariff downwards, but
that the purpose of the party had
been merely SO TO revise the tariff
as to protect American manufactur-
ers against cheap foreign labor. He
declared the New England factories
were returning only small dividends
to their owners. and traced the gem
eral increase in the price of COM
modities 10 the enlarged volume of
gold in the country rather than to
the, advantages accruing from the
protective system. He explained at
length the process of mereerization,
10 order TO show that the protective
rate allowed for this process was not
excessive.
Senator Dolliver took exception To
remark by Senator Aldrich. The
Iowa senator moved an amend
ment to the cotton schedule, proyid-
ing for advalorem rather than specific
duties. whereupon Mr.. Aldrich made
reference to senators who come here
With importers briefs.
Mr.. Dolliver replied sharply, but
when Mr.. Aldrieh explained that he
had not meant any reflection, busi-
hess proceeded with serenity. Later
The senator from Iowa said reflections
upon his course had come from be-
mind the doors of the finance COM
mittee. This was said In response to
defense by Senator Root of the
board of general appraisers. to which
reference had been made by Mr.. Dol
