Fighting for Colorado Miners.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Guggenheim
Is fighting the proposed reduction Of
tariff on Colorado ores and asks that
cities send representatives to the
finance committees hearing opening
February 17th. when the bill will be
considered. Tungsten. produced large
ly in Boulder county, is scheduled for
the free list, which would force com
petition with cheap Asiatic labor and
probably destroy the home industry.
Zinc ores are also placed on the free
list by this bill. abolishing the pres
cnt duty Of Y cent to / cent pound.
This would seriously injure state in
dustries. A cut OF Is per cent. is nro.
rosed on lead ores and lead bullion
The reduction would close many OF
the Colorado mines. The senator be
lieves that the steel schedule revis
ion Of the House bill would seriously
handicap Colorado mills.

Washlngton.-The Borah bill reduc-
Ing to three years the time required
Tor proving up on a homestead entry

six months leave of absence from his

opposition by the Senate.
That there will be strong opposl-
tion to the passage of the measure in

Secretary Fisher appeared before the
House public lands committee against
1t. Secretary Fisher and Land Com
missioner bennett also advised the
House committee to reject the bill,
which provides that notice shall be
given settlers when protests against
their claims are filed by special

would enable the entryman to get
witnesses out Of the country, or frame
up a defense to overthrow the evi-
dence gathered by the government.
Secretary Fisher promised the com.
nittee that he would instruct his sub.
ordinates that all contests against en-.
tries must be taken up and disposed
Of within year from the date Of I'll.
Ing. The secretary opposed the plan
of appealing land decisions to the
courts, predicting that such action
would swamp the courts and cause
more delay than at present.
He favored having payments for
water rights under government
reclamation projects made to the
reclamation service officers, instead
OF to land office officials.
A reclassification Of the forms of
entry Of lands in the public domain;
laws to meet the facts in each par.
ticrllar class of entry, and rulings by
the Land Office to encourage the bona
flde settlement Of the West were ad.
vocated by Secretary Fisher before
the committee.
Mr. Fisher submitted draft OF a
new law to regulate the homestead
Ing Of arid lands. 1t would relieve
the settler Of residence on the lrriga.
tion project for the first two years Of
his .en.year term and substitute for
that provision the cultivation Of one.
eighth Of the land the first year. two.
eishts the second year and SO on for

The House public lands committee
authorized favorable report on the
Mondell bill extending the provisions
Of the act permitting AGRICULTURAL en-.
tries on coal lands to entries under

land act, lands selected by states un.
der grants by Congress and lands sold

BISHOPS ON A STRIKE.
They Declare Independence In Portu-
gal

Lisbon, Jan. 5.-Ensuing on the pun
isbment of the patriarch of Lisbon, Mgr.
Anthony Mendes Bello, who was ordered
to be expelled on Dec. % by the Portu-
guese government for two years, all the
Portuguese bishops yesterday proclaimed
their independence from the government.
The minister of justice, in reply to a
communication from them notifying their
decision, declared that if they persist
in their refusal to recognize the civil
authorities they will all be expelled from
Portugal At the same time he will
hold them responsible for any disturb
anees. The expulsion of the patriarch
of Lisbon caused disturbances in the
capital yesterday. Over ten thousand
people proceeded to the patriarchate in
departing prelate.
The extreme Republicans in the mean
time organized band of four thousand
manifestants. who marched to the patri-
archaic and rushed upon the Catholics
assembled there shouting: Down with
the monarehists; death to the clergy.
The Catholics responded with cheers for
the pope. for Dom Manuel and for Dom
Miguel IS well as for the monarchy. The
Republicans succeeded in breaking
through the lines of police and soldiers
surrounding the patriachate, which they
invaded, forcing the clergy to flee for
safety. Re-enforcements of troops ar
rived on the scene and drove off the
Republicans. Many people were injured
and there was a number of arrests.

FOUR BOYS DROWN

East Jaffrey, n. H., Jan. 5.-Four boys

DEMOCRATS TALK OF HARMONY.
This the Chief Occupation of Majority o.
Committee on Appropriations.

Representative Gillette said yesterday
that the Republican members OF the
committee on appropriations had not yet
met or considered the bills which must
be passed at this session. The Demo
Gratis have given some thought to the
needs of District of Columbia, but other
wise they have done nothing but talk
harmony. One Of their chief objects OF
attack will be the presidents economy
and efficiency commission, of which Mr.
Frank Chase of Haverhill, Mass, is
member. The Democrats want to be
shown that the commission has made
good and the commission, according TO
reliable rumor, is delighted to have the
chance to give publicity to its work, the
extent and value of which is not yet APP
preciated by the public, let alone Con-
nress. A story was current last year,
when the question of continuing the
commission came up, to the effect that
in case the government would not APP
propriate funds for the work OF DR.
Cleveland and his experts, private funds
would be forthcoming which would en-
able the co mission to keep on with
status sin to that of the municipal
bureau of research in New York. From
whose pocket these funds would come
il not known, but it is believed that the
same parties will be willing to help in
the same way should the Democrats
cut out the necessary $4,000.
