HOUSE WAS SERIOUS
TabIedPr Presidents Special Mes
sage and Part Of Another.

Resolution Of Special Committee Re-
buklne the President For What Was
Termed Breach Of Privilege Wac
Adopted by Vote of 212 to 35, Al
though There Were Defenders Of the
Executive-Largest Attendance Of
the Session.
The house of representatives on Fri
day night last, by a vote OF 2l2 to
35, rebuked the president by tabling
so much of his messages as reflected
on members of congress In connection
with his recommendation regarding
the secret service detectives, and also
declaring 1t to be the sense OF the
house that they shall decline to con-
slider any communication from any
source which is not in its own judg-
ment respectful.
AS had been forecasted, the report
of the special committee appointed to
utdl Mlll lht ~ WV ~
dents annual message and in his spe-
cial message of Monday Jan. 4, bearing
on the secret service affecting mem
hers of congress- was submitted and
It was used as the basis for some of the
most earnest and vigorous speeches
ever heard in the historic chamber. The
house was in no mood to treat the sub
ject otherwise than seriously, although
in the remarks which were made the
references to the president almost in
variably were couched in parliament
tary language. Nor was the president
without his supporters.
Toward the close of the debate, Mr..
Gardner Of Massachusetts vainly en-
deayored to secure first the adoption
of substitute for the resolution In
the shape of an amendment expressing
confidence in the committee on ap-
preparations and then the postpone
ment of the whole matter until Mon
day, but he was overwhelmingly out
voted

ATHLETES REINSTATED
Charges of Professionalism Against
Six Men Were Not Sustained.

ChdrQeS OF Professionalism NSa''oN
Six Men Were Not Sustained.
What proved to be tempest In a
teapot in amateur athletics was stilled
when the registration board of the
Amateur Athletic union lifted the ban
of suspension for alleged professional
ism which ten days ago it placed upon
six prominent athletes, four of whom
had won international and Olympic
honors.
The men who thus are again eligi-
Bile to compete as amateurs are j. j..
Lee of Boston, unattached; F. G. Bel
lars, New York Athletic club, and Melvin
w. Sheppard, Charles j. Bacon, George
V. Bonhag and H. F. Porter, Irish
American Athletic club.
The charges of professionalism laid
against the men were covered by an
allegation that they had demanded
and accepted money for travelling and
other expenses to cities outside of
New York in excess Of what really was
necessary. These charges were not
sustained at the meeting of the regis
tration committee.

CAYUGA AND SENECA LAKES
Superintendent Stevens Recommends
Canalizinq of outlets.

Superintendent Frederick G. Stew
ems recommends to the legislature the
improvement of the Cayuga and Sene-
ca lake outlets so as to bring them
within the barge canal system.
Superintendent Stevens said that
the canalizing of the outlet of Cayuga
lake and the Seneca river from Mud
lock to Geneva and Seneca lake could
be accomplished for sum inside OF
Sc ,O0O,O 900, and that with this i'm
provement there would be added to
the canal system upwards of one hun
dred miles of deep waterways, the
lakes themselves providing practically
eighty miles of this.

with this improvement accomplished

come the most important coal ship
ping points In the country.

LIVING STILL IN RUINS
Old Man Rescued to Whom Attention
Had Been Called by Dogs Whining.


The body of Madame Ogston, wife
of the British consul at Messina, who
with her daughter made her escape
from the ruins, was found Monday.
The British consul is reported from
Palermo as recovering from his in
juries and will probably be able to
be removed to London In the next few
days.
The living are still being taken from
the ruins. A party Of sharpshooters
rescued an old man Sunday. Their
attention was called to the place
where he was lying by the whining of
a little dog. They succeeded in re-
moving a great quantity of debris and
there they came upon the dogs mas
ter, alive but unconscious.
British Attache Radcliffe said he
believed there are many still alive In
the ruins. Unfortunately during the
past few days the work of searching
the ruins has been in a measure aban-
doned as 1t was thought impossible
that any living remained.

Little Attempt at oratory.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Greeted by
applause from the galleries when he
entered the senate chamber to reply
to President Roosevelts structures in
respect to his connection with Oregon
timber land transactions, Senator Till
man of South Carolina proceeded to
read his prepared remarks with little
attempt at oratorical effort. He was
accorded careful attention by senator's
on both sides of the chamber.
In addition to his speech, which had
been printed in advance. Mr.. Tillman
had prepared other brief remarks
which he read.

strength is sufficient for the double
task, for my physicians have warned
me against overtaxing myself. One Of
the truest and best sentiments in Eng

"Soiling another will never make

Later in this session it Is my pur-
pose to devote some time to bringing
| Theodore Roosevelt face to face with
his true self and let the people OF the
| United States see what character or
man they have been bowling down to.
For the present | content myself with
applying to him this quotation from
Sponsors 'Faerie Queene:
"TIe ranges throughout the whole
world, neither is there any that can
restrain him. or late he has grown
especially presumptuous and pestilent,
barking at and biting all alike whether
they be blameworthy or innocent.
None are free from his attacks. He
spares neither the learned wit nor tho
gentle poet but rends and tears with
out regard of person, reason or time"
Vice President Suppressed Applause.
When Mr.. Tillman concluded his re-
marks there was no further outbreak
of applause. the vice president having
admonished the occupants Of the gal
leries against making such demonstra-
tions Mr. Tiilman was congratulated
by number of Democratic senators.
Not long after he had concluded his
speech Senator Tillman received ca
blegram from a London newspaper
asking him to express in fifty words
his opinion of President Roosevelt and
saving that if he would do so the tolls
would be paid at the other end. The
senator declined to comply with the
request.
