CHARGES BODY WITH LACK OF COURTESY Falls rnlitr Resolatlaa Kear la Coatraet Relative the Transfer ef Casta over. Many farmers lost their hay. no building were burned. but WASHINGTON. April 1.-When the sen ate met today Mr. Morgan called up his resolution for the discharge of the com' mlttee on Interoceanio canals from consid eration for the resolution calling on the attorney general for Information relative to the contract of the United States with the new Panama canal company for the transfer of the Panama canal. He con tended that the passage of the resolution was more important since the passage of the bill for the government of the canal bet than It was before. He accused the committee of lack of cour tesy to himself In falling to consider his reaolutlon and said that there was no re course left but to aak the senate to take the matter from the hands of the com mittee. Mr. Gorman made a plea for favorable consideration of the resolution, saying that it was only fair that the country should be Informed as to the details of the trans action. Before a vote could be taken Mr. Hale presented a partial report of the conference committee on the naval appro priation bill. The report was agreed to and a further conference requested. roll call was ordered on Mr. Morgan's motion and it was lost, ayes 17, nays SS, a party vote. The bill providing for a modification of the agreement wtn the Indians at Devil's I-ake reservation in North Dakota so as to permit the sale of the lands ceded at M M per acre and requiting settlers to pay the aggregate sum the Indiana shall re ceive for the entire property was taken up. There are five other similar bills before the senate affecting other reservations and all of them are opposed by Mr. Dubois and other senators on the ground that the policy of requiring payment In thia matter Is a reversal of the settled policy of the gov ernment. Mr. Dubois antagonised the Devtl'e Lake bill and presented aa amendment fixing the maximum price at S2.W per acre and per mitting entries under the homestead law. lie apoke la support of the amendment, contending that settlers should be encour aged to take remaining public lands and not discouraged from so doing. SPEAKER CASSOM RAPS FOR ORDER i Lark of Interest Maalfest la District of Colasaala Legislature. WASHINGTON, April 14. -On convening the house today began the consideration of legislation affecting the District of Co lumbia, fourteen bills being on the cal endar. Among the bills passed was one to incorporate "The American Cross of Honor." The lack of interest In District legislation and the consequent hum of conversation on the floor resulted In several sharp repri mands from Speaker Cannon. At 1:45 consideration of the general de ficiency bill was resumed. Consideration of the bill was suspended at 6 o'clock. Mr. Benton (Missouri) outlined the po sition of the democratic opposition to the recent executive order making age the evidence of pensionable disability. This opposition, he said, was not based on a desire to do aught but liberal Justice to veterans of the civil war as evidenced by support of liberal appropriations for this purpose. The paramount issue In the next cam paign will be Theodore Roosevelt, accord ing to Mr. Patterson (Tenn.) who wanted It understood that in criticising Theedore Roosevelt, the candidate, he was not crit icising Theodore Roosevelt, president of the I'nlted States. After expressing his admiration for the president as a ranchman, a soldier and an author, Mr. Patterson quoted at length from the writings of the prenldent and Oummenied on them as grossly unjuot criticisms. W hlle referring to the presi dent's "Constant talk of war," Mr. Pat terson was asked by Mr. Cooper (Wis.) why it was that the foreign relations of the I'nited States were so cordial under Mr. Roosevelt's administration. When this was the case the talk of war was Inexcusable, waa the reply. The house adjourned at t:l( p. m. Raaea Has Telepheae Systeat. HUMBOLDT, Neb..
