WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. The anti-polygamy
cruiiulo which resulted In driving Mr.
Honoris, Utah's representative, out of the
house cf rcpretiontatlves ut the last ses
sion, bad an echo In the house today during
tho consideration of the agricultural ap
propriation bill. When tho section making
thu appropriations for agricultural col
leges of tho severul stntcs wus reached
Mr Land Is of Indiana offered an amend
mint providing that no money should bo
paid to the college In t'lah until tho sec
retary of agriculture was satisfied that no
trustee or teacher In tho Institution prac
tlicd polygamy. Tho amendment carao as
a complcto surprise. Mr King, who Suc
re eded Mr. Roberts, tried In vain to head
It o!f with a point of order, and then In
vulghed against It us simply an aftermath
of tho Roberts crusade. Ilo Insisted that
polygamy was a thing of the past. Mr.
Ltindts replied by alleging that two of the
professors of tho I'tah Agricultural Col
lege were polygamlsts and that onu of tho
trustees had seven wives und thlrty-nlnn
ihlldrin. Vyon this showing tho house
adopted the amendment, whereupon Mr.
King retaliated by offering nu amendment
providing that none of tho money should
go to agricultural colleges In any stato
wbc.ee Instructors or trustees have en
gaged In lynching or been guilty of adul
tery or fornication. Ho afterward modified
It so ns to apply only to tho agricultural
rollcgo of Indiana. It was overwhelmingly
defeated.
Subsequently, when tho bill was reported
to tho house, tho Landls Amendment was
stricken out by a voto of 09 to 19. The
"friends of tho farmer" were much In evi
dence during tho day and against nn ag
grcsslvo opposition, led by Mr. Mnhon of
Pennsylvania, voted Into tho bill nn addi
tional nppropt.'atlon of $50,000 for "farmers'
bulletins."
Thero was also considerable, discussion
of tin Irrigation of nrld lands In connec
tion with tho paragraph providing for an
Investigation of that subject. Tho bill was
pasioJ.
Am-liMilliirnl lllll Axil In.
When the house met today Mr. Tay
lor of Ohio, chairman of the
commlttco on election No. 1, sub
mitted thu report on tho contested election
tnsu of Walker against Hhca from tho Ninth
Virginia district. Tho committee found thut
whllo gross frauds nnd Irregularities oc
curred In tho election they "fell very fnr
short" of changing tho result. Tho com
mittee Ihercforo recommended that Mr.
Hhca, the sitting member, who Is a demo
crat, should retain his seat. Messrs. Ltn
nc) of North Carolina and Samuel Daven
port of Pennsylvania dissented from tho
conclusion of tho majority and wero given
leave to fllo their vlows. Tho report will bo
called up In tho near future.
The bouso then resumed tho consideration
of the agricultural appropriation bill.
Tho Fictions of the prcsont law relating
to tho scientific bureaus of tho department
wero substituted for tho provisions In tho
bill which went out yesterday on n point of
crdor made by Mr. Mahon of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Latimer of South Carolina offered
nn amendment to Incrcaso the appropria
tions for farmers' bulletins to $50,000. Mr.
Mabon of Pennsylvania declared that tho
Increased dissemination pf farmers' bul
letins would not do tho farmers any good.
Ho declared that members desired to
distribute theso bulletins to mako them
selves popular with tho farmors. They
thought it was a good political move. Ho
had thought so at one tlmo and tried It.
"I put It to tho test." said ho. "I sent a
public document to every registered votor
In two countlcn In my district. Tho result
was that I ran behind In ovory voilug pro
clnct In each ono of them and ran abend
In overy precinct to which I did not send
documents, (Laughter.)
"Perhaps, whero you distributed tho most
Information, you ran worst!" suggested Mr.
I.acoy of Iowa.
"That Is possible," replied Mr. Mahon
dryly.
Sluieklcforil DcfumlN Dcpurtineiit.
Mr. Talbert of South Carolina and Mr.
Shickleford of Missouri supported tho
amendment. Mr. Shacklcford said that one
on tho pravoutntlou of n mlldow In grapes
had saved his district hundreds of dol
lars. Mr. Mnhon made an Impassioned reply.
Ho Invelghod against tho alleged friends
of tho farmers, who wero always howling
ngainHt railroads and prating of their
friendship for tho farmers. The farmers of
Pennsylvania, ho said, knew moro about
ugrtculturo In an hour thnn thoso pcoplu
over thero at tho department. Tho secrot
of tho prosperity of tho farmers of his Btnto
was that In tho neighborhood of ovory city
nnd town thore was n manufacturing plant
which afforded tho best market for their
product.
Mr. Shacklcford then replied to Mr.
Mahon, referring sarcastically to his eco
nomical Ideas on thu subject of approprl-
Headache may be called a woman's
ailment. Some men suffer from it. But
almost all women have to endure its pain
with each recurring month. This fact
points at once to tlic intimate relation
between the health of the delicate
womanly organs, and the general health
of the whole Ixxly. Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription banishes headache by
banishing its causae. It cures the dis
eases which irritate the delicate womanly
organs, fret the nerves and waste the
strength. It increases the vitality and
builds up the nervous system. " Favorite
Prescription" contains no opium, cocaine
or other narcotic.

Atlons for the Agrlculturo department
whllo ho pleaded for the payment of big
claims for the down-trodden Cramps Ship
Ilulldlng company.
Tho Latimer amendment was adopted, 92
to 82.
I.itnilli Alum II In tv nt Polyiiitiiiy.
Mr. Landls of Indiana offered the follow
ing resolution as an amendment to the
section making appropriations for agri
cultural colleges.
Provided. Thnt no part of this appro
prlbtlon shall bo available for the agricul
tural college of t'tah until thu secretnrv of
agriculture shall bo sntlsllcd, nnd so certify
thai no trustee, olllcer, Instructor or oni
pleyn of said college Is engaged In tha
pructlco of polygamy or polygamous rein
tic ns.
Mr. King of Utah made a point of order
against the amendment. Ho declared that
ho would not oppose It If It had been of
fered In good faith, but ho considered It
an nftermnth of what ho had denominated
tho "cruBado" against bis predecessor, Mr.
Hoberts. Mr. King said tho practice of
polygamy In Utah was a thing of the past.
No polygamous marriages were now solemn
ized. A few of those who had entered Into
such marriages prior to 1890 might be se
cretly preserving polygamous relations, but
they were few In number.
Mr. Landls In reply snld he was credibly
Informed thnt one of tho professors In tho
agricultural collcgo had three wives and
another two, whllo ono of tho trustees had
seven wives who had blessed him with
thirty-nine children. Theso statements, he
said, had been made by one of tho leading
papers of Salt I.ako City, and so far as
ho knew tho olllclnl organ of tho Mormon
church had not denied It.
Tho chair ruled that the amendment wan
In order and tho amendment was adopted,
70 to U.
KIiir Offer Itrtiillntury Meimure.
Mr. King, who was taken by surprise by
the amendment, hastened to retaliate by
offering nn nmendment providing that no
person should bo a teacher In any agricul
tural college who has engaged In any lynch
ing, or who has been guilty of adultery or
fornication. Tho reading of this amend
ment created n furore. A scoro of mem
bers Jumped to their feat, with domands
for recognition.
Mr. Orosvcnor of Ohio was recognized.
II snld ho desired to raise a point of order
against tho nmendment, not one, but a
half a dozen. Ho argued that tho amend
ment was an nttcmpt to legislate on an
appropriation hill. As he proceeded ho
warmed up and charged that tho amend
ment wan nn aspersion on tho teachers In
all tho agricultural colleges. Ho becamo
enraged In a wordy duol with Mr. King, In
tho courso of which Mr. King declared that
the Ohio member had becomo n common
scold. "If tho Inw against common scolds
woro still In force," Unshed back Mr. Oros
vcnor, "you would hnvo been ducked to
denth long ago."
"And you would have been ducked an
terior to that," rotortcd Mr. King.
At this point, when tho chair intimated
that 'he amendment ns drawn was not In
order, Mr. King chnuged It bo ns to plsco
It In tho exact language- of the Landls
amendment and making it apply only to
Utah and Indlnna. Mr Pnyno of Now York
who was In tho chair, thought as tho amend
ment would modify the previous eftoct on
Utah, It would not bo In order.
milium Used its n Tnrm-t.
Mr. King seized eagerly on this suggestion
and modified It so as to make It uppllcable
to Indlnna nloue. In this form tho chair
held It was In order. Mr. King explained
briefly that he would havo been perfectly
willing to Include Utah with Indiana, but
could not do so without leaving It subject
to n point of order. He again reverted to
tho amendment, which ho dcclnrcd was a
gratuitous Insult to his stato. Ho spoko of
tho Agricultural college of Utah as ono
thnt hud gained a splendid reputation by
Its achievements and paid a high tributo
to tho govornor of Utah, who, ho Bald, had
appolntud so-called "gentiles "
If teachers had been appointed who wero
obnoxious they had been appointed by
men outside tho pnlo of tho dominant
church. Tho amendment waB nn affront
to tha peoplo of Utah and to tho republican
officials of tho stato. Mr. Orosvcnor said
ho hod not otcd for the amendment with
tho Idea of assaulting the pooplo of Utah.
Mr. Mlers of Indiana appealed to Mr.
Kins to withdraw tho nmondment. It had
served tho gentleman's purpose, he snld, and
ha uppealed to him not to cast n reduction
on tho college nt Lafayette, Ind.
Kluir IteiH-iit Tim I,nte.
The dobitto was cut short by a demand
for tho previous question, nnd tho amend
ment was voted down by a viva voco vote.
After this action had been taken Mr. King
asked tho privilege of withdrawing It. He
said It had noi boon his Intention to allow
It to carao to a vote. It was not granted.
Tho paragraph appropriating $30,000 for
Investigating the question of Irrigation and
tho publication of reports on tho subjects
precipitated nnother debnto. Mr. Moody of
Massachussotts, a member of tho comn.ltteo
on appropriations, called attention to tho
paragraph, and warned congress thnt It
would soon bo called on to deal with this
question involving expenditure of vast sums
of money.
I.iiiiiIIn Aiiiriiilmriit llejeeteil.
Mr. Nowiands of Nevada replied to Mr.
Moody, pointing out tho various methods
by which tho Irrlgntlon of tho arid lunds
so much desired by the west could be ac
complished. When tho bill was reported
to tho house Mr. King demanded a separate
voto on tho Landls amendment, which was
then stricken from the bill, by a rising
vote. 69 to 19. Tho bill wns passed and
at u.45 p. m. tho houso ndjourncd.
ATTACK SHIP SUBSIDY BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. Tho shipping
bill was kept nt tho front in the sennto
throughout today. No appreciable progress
was made, most of tho tlmo being occu
pied by Mr. Turley of Tennessee and Mr.
Jones of Arknnsas In speeches opposing tho
bill und severely arraigning Its alloged
favoritism. Mr. Jones declared It should
be entitled "a bill to permit n select coterie
of shipowners to loot tho United States
treasury." After tho speeches tho formal
reading of tho bill wns completed, but the
consideration of amendments was not en
tered upon.
Mr. Clupp, tho now senator from Minne
sota, presented tho credentials of his col
league Mr. Nelson. Mr. Burrows of Mich
ignn also presented tho credentials of Mr.
McMUlnn as senator from Michigan each
for tho full term of six years from the 4th
of March next.
The senate agreed to a resolution Intro
ducul by Mr. Jones of Arkansas requesting
the secretary of war to Inform the senate
whether tho exccutlvo council of Porto
Klco has ngreed to guarantee dividends to
corporations doing business. in that Island.
Tho conference report on tho army re
organization bill wan then presented by Mr
Hawiey.
Mr. Hawiey explained the report and said
the committee on conference had Introduced
no new legislation In tho bill. Mr. Hale
asked especially whether thero had been
any Increase of officers In any Instance ovor
the number permitted by the bill, either as
It passed the house or the senate.
Mr. Hawiey replied In the negative, but
Mr Uutler of North Carolina Insisted that
there and been an Increase of color
sergeants In the srtlllery provision.
Milp .Snln.li!- lllll in ken I p,
At 2 o'clock the army reorganization con
ference report wns under discussion nnd
the senate gavo way to the subsidy bill.
Notice wns given that the army bill would
be called up again tomorrow.
At 2 o'clock tho shipping bill Was laid be
fore tho senato as tho unfinished business.
Hut ns tho army conference report was
still proceeding, .Mr. Aldrlch nsked that
tno shipping bill bo laid asldo temporarily.
Mr. Pcttlgrow promptly objected. This
created a parliamentary blockade, which
cancelled either the subsidy bill or the army
bill to glvo way.
Mr. Hawiey, In charge of tho army bill
concluded to yield, but gave notlco that
ho would call up that measure tho tlrst
thins tomorrow.
Consideration of tho subsidy bill being
resumed, .Mr. Aldrlch gave notlco of two
amendments, one providing that applicants
for subsldv shall contract to build a new
vessel within the United Stntes within threo
years and a second providing that the utmost
limit of subsidy shall bo flftoon years, Instcnl
of twenty years, as provided In the bill.
Turley rmio AuitlnM lllll.
Mr. Turley of Tcnncsse then spoko against
tho bill, pointing nut tho largo expenditures
Involved. He declared that already tho
shipping Interests had unusual privileges,
under tho tariff, tho postal bounty laws and
In mnnyothor wnys, Mr. Turley compared tho
cost of shipbuilding In various countries.
This brought out a statement from Mr.
Vest thnt ships could bo built for less In
tho United States thnn In any other coun
try. As a proof of this, he said Japan
had advortlscd for tho lowest and best bid
on n cruiser and tho American bidders had
taken tho contract, underbidding tho Brit
ish shipbuilders by 20 per tent. Later, whon
Kussln called for like bids, tho American
builders again underbid the foreigners. Only
two weeks ago Mr. Vest said, tho Cramps
had secured a contract for building a cruiser
for Turkey, ns against all other competitors.
Mr. Turley spoke for two hours nnd was
followed by Mr, Jones of Arknnsas In op
position to the measure. Mr. Jones said
the bill proposed to take millions out of
tho public treasury and give It as a free
gift to certain .favored "subsidy beggars."
Ono of tho worst features of tho mcnsi'.re.
lie snld, was that thu vast sums to bo
paid as subsidies to a few wealthy con
cerns were wrung from tho laboring peo
plo nnd tho poor. Mr. Jones snld tho bill
should be entitled "a bill to cnablo n se
lect coterie of shipowners to loot the
United Stntcs treasury." Ho nrgucd that
commercial development nnd extension
must como from our natural advantages
nnd enterprise nnd not from tho legislative
stimulus of subsidies.
.Viit the Old llniimi lllll.
Mr. Jones Bpoko for two hours and then
Mr. Berry of Arkansas railed for tho formal
rending of th.i bill. This brought on con
siderable controversy ns to tho present form
of tho bill. Mr. Frye declared that demo
cratic senators were delivering New York
Reform club speeches against tho measure,
apparently believing It was tho Hnnna bill
of two years ago, whllo It had been en
tirely changed nnd boro little resemblance
to thnt measure. Mr. Morgan snld he
thought n few senators knew what was In
tho bill. He bad been "fox hunting," try
ing to locate amendments nnd learn what
was In tho bill, but had been unable to
do so.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas also spoko of tho
kaleidoscopic changes of tho bill and tho
Inability of people to keep track of It. As
a matter of Information, the detailed read
ing of tho bill was agreed to.
After tho formal rending of tho bill It
was temporarily laid aside. Bills wero
passed establishing fish hatcheries und flab
stations In Idnho and In Indiana.
At 5:55 p. m. tho sennto adjourned.

SEES THE NEEDF0R LENIENCY

WASIIINOTON, Jan. 30. Being obliged by
tho uttltudo of the other powers to contlnuo
at Pekln tho negotiations looking to a
bettlemont of the Chinese difficulties, In
splto of a most discouraging outlook for n
favorable conclutlon there, tho Department
of Stnto hns now sent by cablo to Mr. Conger
very precise and detailed Instructions for
his guldur.co In trentlng ot tho question of
Indemnity
Tho ministers havo llnolly reached this
Important topic, which was ono of two or
threo that tho Stato department earnestly
desired to have dealt with by other agencies
nnd at another, capital than Pekln. Hence,
It Is found necessary to turnlsu Mr. Conger
with such eact Instructions as will prevent
any possible misunderstanding as to tho
purpose of the United States government
upon this subject. Iteallzing tint It Is
easily possible to destroy the Chinese gov
ernment nnd bring about tho partition of
the empire, which nil powers express them
selves ns desirous of preventing, by an Ill
judged effort to foico terms as to Indemnity,
tho State department, It Is believed, hns
adopted a lenient attitude, and will lose no
opportunity to Influence other power ac
cordingly. lomtn fur Aliithnu Unit.

the ease ot Mablnl, the Filipino Insurgent
leader, in order to answer the resolution
ndopted by tbo xenato at thu Instnnco of
Senator I'ettlgrew, calling for the facta In
tho case.
It appears from his ofllclal record that
Ilablnl was captured by tieneral I.uwton In
onu of tho famous raids In southern Luzon
nud was sent to Manlln ns a prisoner ot
war. He wnf. granted parole, and, It is
said, violated Ins oath by roIiik bnck among
hla peoplo nnd Inciting them to sedition and
rebellion against the authority ot the United
States. For this ho was again placed In
confinement. Recently, to limit his
activities, (lenural MncArthur changed his
place of contlnement from Manila to tho
Inland of Guam, whero ho will bo held ns
a military prisoner of war. Although a
cripple and In poor physical health, ho Is
undoubtedly ono of tho strongest nnd one
of thu most formidable opponeuts of Ameri
can' sovereignty in the Philippines by
reason of his superior lutellcctual attain
ments. Tho report of the secretary of war
on this case will bo forwarded to the senate
In n few days.
