stlon to the report OF the committee
on privileges and elections, holding
Senator Lorimer's right to his seat
unimpeached.
lie said at least seven members OF
the Illinois legislature had been In
volved In bribery proceedings In con-
nectlon with the Lorlmer election and
holding that three should be sub
tracted from Lorimer's vote and not
from the total poll. contended that
the untainted vote had not been suf-
flcient TO elect Lorlmer
MIR. Bailey said the corrupt vote
should be subtraoted from Lorimer's
vote and the total vote. saying there
had been 202 votes In the senatorial
election. he said the seven corrupt
votes should be deducted from the 202
votes and also from the 10S cast for
Lorimer, which would give Lorimcr
101 votes out of 195----a clear major
ity.
Suppose" asked Mr.. Cummins. "of
the 202 votes l0l had been for Lori
mer and friend of Lormcr's had
bought one other vote for him giving
him 102 would Lorlmer have been
elected?"
NO" responded Mr.. Bailey che

case the corrupt vote decides the re-
suit.
Then II makes difference when
one vote was corrupted or seven." re-
sponded the lowan, but the Texan
would not coneede the point.
Mr. Borah contended that under Mr.

who addressed the Commercial club
here tonight on ship subsidy legisla-
tion.
THE whole country, for several
years" said Representative Hum
phrey, has been hysterioal because
of the action of domestic trusts, yet
apparently We have viewed with per-
feet complaeency any plundering per-
petrated upon the American people
done under a foreign ilag by foreign
ships.
"All foreign nations recognize these
combines as perfectly legitimate and
uphold their agreements by law.
"These combines practically admit
they are guilty as charged in the
courts Of this country, but their an
swer is that we have no remedy
Mr. Humphrey said the bill he had
introduced into the house for the ex-
clusion OF ships of foreign combines
from American ports would put an
end to the depredations OF foreign
trusts.
More than 90 per cent OF the for
eign trade Of this country today
said Mr. Humphrey, lis carried by
foreign ships belonging to the pools,
rings and conference between which
there Is not the slightest eompeti-
tion. There is not a regular line of
ships running from our ports on
either ocean that does not belong 10
a conference.
"All these companies give rates and
special privileges In order to secure
them the customer is required to sign
an ironclad agreement to obey all the
dictates OF the combine and not TO
patronize or favor any other line.
'All give special rates TO the giant
corporations Of this country. espe-
| cially the Standard oil company, the
steel trust and the harvester combine,
These determinations are ouch that
they effectually prevent any compete

rations from competing with them In
foreign trade.
"They indicate the ports through
which interior freIghts shall pass, and
the steamship line and railroad upon
which they must be carried. Today
you can send a ton Of crockery from
Germany to Denver cheaper than you

although each may be carried by the
same line of railways. You can send
a case OF beef from Germany to Salt
Lake City cheaper than you can send
II from Cincinnati to Salt Lake CITY,"
Representative Humphrey conclud-
ed with plea for the merchant ma
rine. He said the only way to estab-
lish II would be through government
assistance direct or Indirect from the
national treasury.

member of the finance committee said
today that not one of the majority
of that body favored the proposed
arrangement with Canada, some being
opposed because they believed inter-
ests of their states to be jeopardized
and others basing their objections
upon the ground of supposed menace
to the principle OF protection. The
estimate of members. regarding the
sentiment In the committee may not
be entirely correct.
Some OF those who favor the ar.
rangement. believe that Senator Gull
lam will vote for it and that Chair
man Aldrich would give it his sup
port were he in Washington. How
ever this may be. 1t is admitted that
a majority of the committee as now
constituted. is opposed to the arrange
ment and that 1t probably will re-
quire majority vote of the senate
for the discharge of the committee
II a resolution to put the measure
in force is brought out into the open.
After March 4. there will be seven
vacancies, half of the membership In
the finance committee. 1t is not
doubted that the filling of these va
cancies when the senate organizes Tor
the next session, will increase the
chances for favorable action.
There was one amusing phase to
the discussion of the proposed
agreement today.
"Stand pat" republicans in the
house were laughing loudly among
themselves at the position in which
they said the Insurgents from the
corn and wheat country must find
themselves as result of the propo-
sition to place grains on the free list.
They declared the insurgents had
made the welkin ring with their de-
mands for further revision of the
tariff and for lower duties.
.'The proposed agreement" said
one OF the old-time house leaders,
"gives the gentlemen from the Da-
kotas, from Minnesota. from Iowa.
Nebraska and Kansas downward tar
iff revision with a vengeance on the
products of their own states. Now
let us see what they are going to do
about 1t"
The insurgents discussed the mat
ter among themselves, but so far as
known, came to no general under
standing.

CANADIANS CONFIDENT OF
RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT

Ottawa, ont, Jan. 27.--Confident
that the reciprocity agreement be-
tween Canada and the United States
will receive the necessary legislative
endorsement from the Canadian parli-
ament, representative men here are
now chiefly interested in the attitude
congress will take.
There Is a fear In some quarters
the measure may precipitate a general
tariff discussion at Washington re-
sulting In delay that would be fatal
to the measure
BY mutual agreement. the debate on
the question has been put over for a
week. This step undoubtedly has
been taken to permit the machinery
at Washington to get in motion.
The claim that ratification OF the
agreement is a step toward political
union with the United states and a
step away from imperialism is dis
missed as untenable.
The faith of the governments sup
porters that congress will ratify the
agreement Is based on the fact that
the main consideration was to frame
an agreement that could be put
through both congress and parlia-
ment.
II is said that the Canadian gov
ernment believes congress will give
the agreement legislative sanction be-
fore March 4.
If this Is not done, there will be
disappointment but not discourage
ment In Canada as there is a convc-
tion here that the agitation In the
United states over the high cost OF
living is bound to keep the agreement
in the forefront
The steel men of Canada do not
relish mutual free trade In steel
goods.
The salt makers declare the ratifi-
cation of the agreement will close
them up. The market gardeners are

MINING CLAIM TITLES

Few mining claims in Alaska are the absolute property of those whom we are accustomed to regard as owning them. A prospector locates claim according to the statutes and to the rules and regulations laid down by the land of fee, but he acquires only possessory title thereby; the equitable and the legal title to the claim remain in the federal government. If the holder of the possessory title then goes still fur ther and in accordance with the reg ular procedure pays the required pur chase price for the claim, he acquires the equitable title to the claim. It is only after he has secured patent for the claim that he acquires the le- gal interest in addition to the others, and become absolute owner of the claim.-Cordova Alaskan.
