House Committee Opposed to
Delay on Reciprocity Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The committee
on ways and means of the house is
not disposed to delay action on the
Canadian reciprocity agreement bill
by giving extended hearings to dissat-
isfied interests and industries. Neither
is the committee inclined to go over
the ground covered in the very exten-
sive hearings preparatory to consider
alton of the last tariff act.
The Gloucester fishermen were
heard because they were on the
ground and were insistent The Sc
attic lumbermen desire to be heard in
opposition to the agreement, but the
committee will not give them hearing
unless they have something new to
present, for the lumber tariff was
thoroughly threshed out In the last
congress.
The best Judgment OF house leaders
of both parties is that the reciprocity
bill will be reported next week from
committee, will pass the house with a
big majority and will be hung up" in
the senate, either in committee or
on the floor, until this session Of con-
gress draws to a close March 4.

EARTH SLIDE AT CULEBRA
Section Of Land Mile Long Slip
ping Into Cut.

Washington, Feb. Another great
earth slide a mile long has started
to move in the Culebra cut in the
Panama canal and already has com
pletely covered the thirty-five foot
bank of the canal opposite the tow
path with 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial.
The slide began, according to the
Canal Record, Jan. Is, on the west
bank of the canal opposite the Cule-
bra hotel. Up to Jan. 25 the earth
had not encroached on the railroad
tracks In the lower part of the cut to
any extent and operations there were
not interfered with.
Some hasty shifting OF frame houses
became necessary to save them from
the earth slide.

BRYAN EUL0GIzES WILSON
Lauds New Jersey Governor for Stand
in Senatorial FIGHT.

Lincoln, Neb, Feb. 4.-Because Of
his support of James B. MARITIME for
United States senator, w. j. Bryan
has rendered political absolution to
Governor Wilson of New Jersey and
placed him in his list of the Demo
cratic elect. In the forthcoming issue
of the Commoner Mr.. Bryan gives un-
stinted praise to the New Jersey ex-
executive and concludes:
"If Governor Wilson had known in
1895 what he knows today, he would
have fought shoulder to shoulder with
the Democrats of that year, rather
than with the Palmer and Buckner
forces that were working as aides to
the Republican party"
In the name of every lover of pop
ular government the COmmoner
thanks Governor Wilson for his patri-
otic efforts.

Nanking, China, Feb. 4.-That the
deaths due to famine and to the pes
thence following in its wake will total
100000 before spring was the esti-
mate submitted to the government
committee.
Workers are aghast with the reali-
zation of the task before them. Even
were they in receipt of unlimited con-
tributions for relief, the missionaries,
doctors and near volunteer workers
weuld be almost hopeless in the face
Of 100000 of suffering people in the
Anhui and Kiangsu provinces.
Murder is now adding to the death
roll, reported William F. Junken.
Presbyterian missionary at Suchien.
In their desperation at the lack OF
food, he said, the bolder of the ma
tives have formed marauding bands
who stop at nothing in robbing way
farers and plundering houses.
In many towns persons wearing
good clothes fear to go on the street
at night lest they be waylaid and
stripped of their garments, which can
be sold for cash by the starving high
waymen
Scores of instances of kidnapping
have been reported.
All but the very well to do in the
affected districts have been reduced
to cruel food and a large portion of
the peasants have not even that.
Peasants Selling Their Farms.
AS the peasants are selling their
farms whenever they can find large
land owner to purchase, spring will
bring little ameioration. They will
have no soil to till and must be de-
pendent upon charity until work can
be found.
Pitiful tales are recited by relief
workers. The farmers villages have
the appearance of depopulation; near
~ all the people are at home, too weak
or i'll to move, and without clothes,
even ii they had the strength to go
about.
Thousands are homeless and lie all
day and night in the open, oftentimes
in mud and water. To many death
comes in the very hour of relief, while
hundreds have died, it is reported, as
. result of eating food which they
hoped would renew life.
The famine is an old story in China,
, but the most experienced relief work
ers declare that the present prospect
n the worst in many years. Appeals
for aid are being sent out by cable
through the Red Cross and other
agencies to all civilized countries.

ROOT joins THE
FOES OF L0R|MER
Says Illinois Senator Is Not
Entitled to Seat.
CRITICISES THE FINDINGS

Believes Testimony Taken by the In
vestigating Committee Clearly Shows
That Bribery Aided in the Selection
er's Views Expected to Affect the
Final Vote.
Washington, Feb. 4.-That Senator
William Lorimer of Illinois holds his
seat as the result of bribery and on
that account should not be permitted
to continue in the senate is the con-
clusion reached by Senator Elihu Root
and announced by him in an argument
on the floor of the senate.
Mr.. Roots position had been a ques-
ton of much speculation and so high
is the esteem in which his opinion is
held that it is known that some mem
bers of the senate have held in abey-
ance their own opinions until they
could hear from him.
The speaker lost little time in indi-
eating the conclusion he had reached,
which was entirely antagonistic to Mr..
Lorimer. He took the position that
the investigation committee had been
at fault in permitting either the attor
ney for Mr.. Lorimer or the attorney
for the Chicago Tribune to direct it's
course in the matter of connecting Mr..
Lorimer with the corruption of men,
bers of the Illinois legislature, but
agreed that even in the face of its
fault in this respect the committee
had obtained sufficient evidence effect
ually to taint and invalidate the elec-
tion.
Disagrees With Findings.
Citing the resolution under which
the inquiry was directed Mr.. Root
said that the committee had failed to
| find testimony sufficient to justify the
conclusion that Mr.. Lorimer's seat had
been rendered invalid by the employ
ment of corrupt methods or practices.
''It is unfair to infer" he said, that
| the committee was of the opinion that
corrupt methods and practices were
| resorted to, but that their legal effect
was not such as to invalidate Mr.
Lorimer's election This view is sus-
tanned by the testimony before US, and
I regret to say that after an examina
| tion of this testimony / am constrained
to disagree with the members of the
committee"
Il cannot" he said most earnestly.
''come to any different conclusion"
He expressed the opinion that both
| the state and country had been dis
graced by the methods of the Lorimer
election.

The POSTAL BANKS.

Frequent comment is made upon the
fact that the average postal bank has
few deposits. Some of the commenta-
tors are moved to assert that because
of the light deposits the banks are not
needed The Cedar Rapids Gazette
declares that the conclusion is not
warranted; that there might come a
time when they are very badly need
ed. .'In the meantime" it goes on to
say, "the postal bank will do good
work in educating some people to use
the ordinary banks. The postal banks
do not draw much money from the
other banks. They attract some cash
that would otherwise remain hidden
in tin cans. or be sent abroad; and
the money taken from the regular
banks finds its way back very soon, SO
that only good is done" The Gate
City agrees with the Gazette that the
POSTAL bank is all right.

The Lesson TO Labor.


Springfield Register: We believe
the entire case points lesson to or
ganized labor from which it will profit
and which will rebound to the ulti-
mate benefit of unionism. If 1t does,
hencefcrth, opinions may be less has
tily expressed. COMBINATIONS will
be based more upon conservative
judgement than upon prejudice. The
great majority of men of careful judy
ment will prevail over the rash radi-
calism of those whose tendency is to
be swayed by prejudice. Union labor
will rise in more determined opposi.
ton to lawlessness and in firmer
championship of principle. II this
lesson has the effect it should, the
political trickster who seeks to profit
by prejudice will find as little sympa
thy from labor as will the unfaithful
labor official like J.. j. Mcnamara
who admits preparation of q most
atrocious dynamite plot
We quite agree that the organize
ton as whole should not be held re
sponsible for the wrongs committed
by individuals or some affiliated or
ganization, yet this case should in
spire a reinforcement Of the defense
against the insidious foe to principle
who seeks to operate beneath the
cloak Of unionism.

But one case was tried in order to

and the appellate court in sustaining

The Men Back of the MeNamaras.


Chicago Record-Herald: While the
cry for punishment of the Mcnamara
brothers goes up over the land, as a
result of their pleading guilty to hav-
ing caused two dynamite explosions
at Les Angeles, it should not be for
gotten that they probably were only

Mcnamara, who blew up the Lew
ellyn Iron Works, was the secretary
of the international Association OF
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.
James B. Mcnamara, whose charge of
dynamite under the Times building
sent twenty-one souls into eternity, is
accused of having, with his brother,
caused many explosions where non.
union men were employed. Who
were back of the McNamaras? Who
put up the money?
