Work of Day in Congress

washington, may Or OllOWlnS Is
a summary of the proceedings of the
two houses of congress yesterday,
taken from the official records:
SENATE-Senator Dixon gave voice
to a complaint against what he assert
ed was the practice of characterizing e
as .inSurgent' every senator who did
not agree with what tire so-cailed reg
ulars demanded. He declared that the
regulars themselves were as much
inclined as others to, ally themselves
with the democrats whenever an ad-
vantage was gained by so doing. Sem
ator Bourne of Oregon, lauding the cleo
tion laws of the state, provoked a gem
eral discussion of representative gov
ernment in the course of which Sena-
tor Bacon entered a vigorous protest
against the present method of selecting
office holders in the south. AS a rem
edy for these complaints, Senator Car
ter suggested the elimination from pol
itics of the $4,000 postmasters of the
United States.
HOUSE-The railroad bill was before
the house during the entire session.
many amendments being offered and
voted upon. An amendment by Mr..
Knowland of California, providing that
when a railroad reduces it's rates be-
cause of water competition II shall not
raise them unless the interstate COM
merce commission finds that the pro-
posed increase rests upon changed con-
ditions other than the elimination of
water competition, was adopted.

Washington, May 6.-The Adam
son amendment to the railroad bill

Office appropriation bill passed the
senate today without change from
the form reported from committee.
sundry Civil Bill Pared Down.
Washington, May 6.-The sundry
civil appropriation bill carrying total

Washington, May 6.-Insurgent SEN
ators say they do not intend to be
swerved from their course on the rail-
road bill no matter what tactics are
pursued by the conservative republi-
cans. Announcement of this unyield-
ing stand was made at the conclusion
of an insurgent conference last night
by Senator Cummins. 1t was uttered
in the presence of several of his pro-
gressive associates.
For three days the insurgents have
been in session for a thorough con-
sideration of the political and legisla-
tive situation, the conference continu-
ing through the daylight hours when
the senate had not been meeting.

The Palos mines have been worked

Service in Two Wars and in

Santa Barbara, Cal, May 6.LRear
Admiral McCalla, u. S. A, aged &C,
died this morning of apoplexy. He en-
tered the navy in 1861, had an excel
lent civil war record and active duty
in all parts of the world. His most
brilliant achievements were in connec-
tion with the war with Spain and the
Peking relief column, for which he re-
ceived signal recognition in the shape
of a congressional medal for distin-
guished service in battle and also inter
national acknowledgements of his la
bors through the bestowal upon him
of the Order Of Red Eagle by the Ger
man emperor and the Chinese war
medal by the king of England.

Chicago, May 6.-Seven Illinois leg
islators whose testimony bears on the
election of Senator Lorimer appeared
before the special grand jury here to-
day They were H. J. c. Beckemeyer,
w. C. Blair, Daniel D. Donahue, Jo-
seph H. Clark, Henry A. Shepard,
Michael S Link and Charles A. White.
COrrObOrafes Whites story.
Chicago, May Representative H.
]. c. Beckemeyer of Carlyle added a
sensational development to the legis-
lative bribery scandal yesterday by
making to the special grand jury a
confession that corroborates in all es-
sential details the story Of Represent
ative Charles A. White of O'Fallon,
that he was paid 81 900 for voting for
senator and that later he received
5000 as his share of general corrap
ton fund or Jack pot"
After an application of the thumb
screws, Beckemeyer, who was accused
by White of being in st. Louis the day
the Jack pot" was split, broke down
and told the special jurors that he had
received money for voting for Senator
Dorimer and had been given divi-
dend from the general "slush'' fund,
the amounS in each instance being al
most the same as that White confesses
to having received. About $3.50 is said
to have been his share of the Jack
pot" while he said he got $1,000 for
his vote
"Squeal' Causes Stir.
The second confession was followed
by condition of panic among some
of the legislators. 1t was expected to
be followed forthwith by indictments.
One of the judges in the criminal
court was asked to remain until late
in the evening in order that true bills
might be returned, but this program
was abandoned, presumably in the
that further "squeals'' may
be forthcoming in the near future.

The chief ground for fears is the fact

special trolley cars to Westville. Most
of the men were stationed at No. 2

troops and at an early hour in the
forenoon everything was fairly quiet.
The miners, however, declared some
time during the day they would march
in a body to Catlin, five miles from
Westvi1le. Should this demonstration
be peaceful, no attempt will be made
to interfere but Righteousness will be
checked
