Fletcher (rep.) of Minne sota and Lassiter (dem.) of Virginia were the two voting In the negative. . The opposition to committing the government to the Nicaraguan route attempted to secure amendment to lodge with the president the discre tionary power to purchase and com plete the- Panama canal. If It could be purchased lor J40.000.000. The test came on the first vote, when the advocates of an alternative route polled 102 against 170 votes. -At each succeeding vote their strength dwindled until Mr. Cannon of IHinois, Under whose leadership the fight was made, was unable to get the ayes and Does on a motion to recommit. The debate which preceded the taking- of the final vote was made mem orable by a clash between Mr. Hep burn, the author of the bill, and Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriation committee. On several previous occa tons they have measured swords over canal legislation. Two years ago a similar bill was passed by a vote of 224 to S. The bill as passed authorized the president to secure from the states of Cbeta Rica, and Nicaragua, In behalf of the United States, such portion c-f the territory belonging to said states as may be desirable and necessary to excavate, construct and prospect a ca nal suitable to the wants of modern navigation and commerce, an dappro priates such a sum as Is made neces sary to secure the control of said ter ritory. Section 2 authorizes the president, after Recurlng control of the needed territory, to authorize the secretary of war to construct such canal from the Caribbean sea at a point near Grey town, to a point in the Pacific ocean near Erito, and also to construct pro per harbors at the terminil of said ca nal alld to make necessary provisions for the defense of the canal and har bors. VSR RIVER AND LAKE. Sections 3 and 4 authorize the presi dent to make such surveys and to em ploy such persons in constructing the canal as to him may seem necessary and directs that in the construction of the canal the river Stn Juan and Lake Nicaragua shall be used as far mm ttwy are available. ....... Section S authorizes the president to guarantee to the states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua the use of the canal and harbors upon terms to be agreed upon for all vessels ovrned by said States and by citizens thereof. The last section makes a present ap propriation of J10.00O.OO0 to carry on this work and authorizes the secretary f war to enter Into proper contracts for material a,nd work as may he deemed necessary therefor, such work and material to be paid for as appro priations may be made from time to time., The section fixes the aggregate cost at $10.000.000, to be drawn from the treasury on warrants of the pres ident.

Brigadier General Frederick Funston arrived here from Manila on the transport Warren. While his condition has greatly Improved since leaving Manila, he has not yet entirely re covered. On arrival here General Funston Im mediately went to Oakland to greet his family. He stated that he would re main here about two weeks and then visit his old home and friends in Kansas for a few dav's, after which he would go io Washington on Impo: tant business, the nature of which he would not divulge. General Funston said his leave of absence was for two months. He thought he would have it extended and it was possible that he would not re turn at all. General Funston had as a fellow passenger Brigadier General Robert Hughes, who has been on duly in the Philippines for a long period. Regarding the progress of the war in the Philippines," said General Fun ston, "there is little that can be added to the news that has been sent out from Manila by telegraph. In Batan gas our troops are? making good pro gress and In Leyte the situation Is very , promising. fwmar Is a puzzle. The island is being raked from side to side by columns of scouts, but it is very difficult to locate the Insurgents. The navy blockade is very effective, however.and we may be able to starve the insurgents out and compel a sur render of the armed forces there, which number about 3,500 men, in a few months. The army and navy are co-operating In an effort to force the rebels to come in and give up their arms, and good results may be looked for soon. "The work of the civil commission is progressing satisfactorily, but military rule must be preserved in those prov inces where stubborn and Influential leaders hold the Ignorant and blood thirsty natives in the palm of their hands and mold their opinion at will." CALEB POWERS ASKS FOR HELP. Indianapolis, Ind. (Special.) Wil liam S. Taylor of Kentucky held a conference with Mayor Bookwalter and other leading republicans here with a view to starling a movement in aid of Caleb Powers, former secretary, of state of Kentucky, who is now under conviction for complicity In the mur der of Governor William Goebel and is trying to get Into the supreme court on an appeal. Powers wrote a pathetic letter to Taylor, In which he states that bis two trials In the courts of Kentucky for a crime of which he knows noth ing have stripped him of every cent he has in the world and that money fur nished by his friends has also been spent in his defense. He says it will be necessary for him to have money before he can prosecute his appeal to the supreme court, and he asks that republicans be appealed to for assist ance. pearly all the members of the con ference expressed a willingness to requested to ascertain how much money Powers will need.

Foroaa Are Reduoed During tha Yaar by 18,320 Man In KHIed, Woun- dad and Captured. London. (Special.) A published re view of operations In South Africa during the past year, based upon offi cial report, gives an Interesting com parison of Boer and British losses. The review says that the total re duction of the Boer forces in killed, wounded, taken prisoners and surren dered, amounts to 18,3-0 men. Out of this total only 7,!W3 riries were m-vui-ed. The capture of Boer ammunition amounts to 2,300,000 caitlidges. Brit ish columns are supposed to have ta ken all the Boer artillery, amounting to twenty-seven guns, exclusive of the two captured by General Pewet at Zeefonteln. The capture of Boer stock has been enoi mous, considering the great hauls fmade during the earlier years of the war. During the last year a total of 29,Mi2 horses were captured, while of other stock, such as cattle, oxen and sheep,-'head were captured. LOSSES BIT BRITISH. The British casualties from actual fighting amount to only half of those sustained by the Boers, nam-ly 9.1113 men, of whom 1,513 were taken pris oners and have since been released. During the last year 4.0S0 men died of disease, fifteen officers and 342 men were accidentally killed and 25,800 men were invalided home. Lord Kitchener, telegraphing from Johannesburg, reports the occurrence of a number of skirmishes in various parts of the field. The most serious were at Amersfoot, January Z and 4, when Major W. K. Plomer and Colonel J. Spens were In contact with Com mandant Opperman's commands. They drove the Boers from their positions after considerable fighting, during which the Somerset Light infantry suffered severely. TWENTY-SEVEN KILLED. Major Vallenllo and eighteen men here killed and five officers and twenty-eight men were'wounded. The Boers left nine men dead on the field. Col onel Colenbrander surprised Field Cor net Louw's laager at Watervale Jan uary 5, killing five men and capturing twenty-nine. General French reports that the Bo ers In Cape Colony are so reduced In numbers as to require only an elab orate police system to keep them in check. The week'l totals of Boer cas ualties are thirty-sis men killed, nine hounded, 261 made prisoners and seventy-two surrendered. KNOX REVIEWS THE SCHLEY CASE. Washington, D. C Special.) The Post says: The case of Rear Admiral Schley Is now being considered by the attorney general for the purpose of discovering whether there was an illegality in connection with the court of Inquiry. It Is understood that at the recent conference and Rear Admiral S hley the latter pointed out some alleged vi olations of the law in regard to the court and these matters have been deemed worthy of examination. The attorney general Is not to puss upon the merits of the case, but will deal solely with its legal phase. If he shall find that the court was pro perly constituted, that the precept was legally drawn and that the ru!s of law were followed, as to the evidence, it will then be within the province of the president to consider the case on Its merits. If the attorney general de cides that there were Illegalities, as claimed by Adnjlral Schley, the verdict of the court would be vitiated. It Is understood that the future course of Admira.! Schley eooeerninir a formal appeal in writing to the pres ident will depend largely on the deci sion of the attorney general. MINERAL PRODUCTS OF UNITED STATES. Washington. D. C (Special.)

Shaw to be secretary of the treasury and of Hon. Henry C. Payne to be postmaster gen eral. The confirmation of Mr. Shaw was accomplished without comment, but there was some controversy over the action of the committee on post offices in reporting Mr. Payne's nom ination without going through the formality of a meeting. Senator Raw lins desired to sppear before the com foe Hie pii--.ne of requesting that an Inquiry be Instituted into the charge that Mr. Payne had been In terested In the efforts to secure lands for the purpose of prospecting for minerals on the Indian reservations in l'lah, having been president of the Ii.rence Mining company. In this connection extracts from letters to the senate were read. Senator Spooner as a representative of Mr. Payne's own state replied to this statement by reading a letter addressed to h!mlf by Mr. Payne and dated several weeks back. In which Mr. Payne said that his connection with the Lorence com pany had terminated two years ego and at present he had no Interest In that corporation. Mr. Rawlins there upon said that the expianhtion was satisfactory and after some further criticism of the committee for th? manner in which the report was made the nomination was unanimously con firmed. Senator Mason defended the action of the committee as in harmony with numerous precedents and spoke culogistli-aliy of Mr. Payne. GREETINGS OF IOWA TO SHAW. Ies Moines, la. (Special.) Governor Leslie M. Shaw was highly honored by the people a! Iowa on his return from Washington. He arrived at his office early in the day and devoted himself to business for a short lime, and then turned to his callers, of which he had many. The hundreds of legislators and others In the city kept him busy with their attentions. At li o-ciock he received ex-Congressmen George D. Perkins of Bioux City and a number of other notables. Before departing for lunch he received a personal mes sage from Washington apprising him of confirmation of his appointment by the senate. He w as pleased, but not surprised by the quick return. Governor Phaw refused to discuss his plans any further than in times past, but talked freely of the pleas ure of his trip to Washington and said he was delighted with his inter views with the president and others of his official family. He said that he would be back in Washington In time to take his office about January 2 and that he and Mrs. Shaw will take rooms at one of the leading hotels for the present. Governor Hhaw was given a compli mentary banquet and reception under the auspices of the Giant club In tlw Savery hotel. It was one of the fin est events of the kind In the history of the state. Most of the members of the legislature were here to attend the opening, also a large iiuii;!cr of prcmr inent republicans of the state. The re ception to the governor was informal and hundreds of friends greeted him. Fine music was furnished by a local orchestra and the Grant Glee club. The dining room of the Savery was pack ed to the doors and many who had desired to attend could not secure seats. It was one of the most distin guished assemblages In the history ol the state. Covers were laid for SiS or more. COMMISSION EXAMINING 6.1AIN RATES, Kansas Pity. Mo. F pedal.) The in terstate commerce commission began another hearing com-erriing the alleged manipulation of grain rates by the railroads running from Kansas City. W. P. Trlckett, chairman of th tra importation bureau of the Kansas City Commercial dub, testified thai Kansas City grain men suffered In competition with Chicago,' ft. Ixiuls, and even Atchison and Leavenworth, because the roads discriminated in favor of certain big firms at the places named. The Junior member ot the firm of Hall & Robinson, an un willing witness, slated that he had a private arrangement with W.

Industry Said to Ba at a Standstill While Immorality Thrive Unner a ISth Century Government. Washington, D. C (Special.) Secre tary Root gave an Interesting exposi tion of the condition of affairs in the Philippines, together with the outlook for terminating military by civil rule In the court of a hearing before the house committee on military affairs In connection with the army appropria tion bill. The meeting was behind los ed doors and no exact statement of Mr. Root's remarks was given out, al though the following is said to em body the more essential features: The discussion of the Philippines condition was brought out by a ques tion of Mr. Hay of Vliglnia as to whether civil government could be maintained In the islands without the presence of the army. In reply Mr. Root slated that the army was neces sary as a moral force to maintain the civil administration now established, tine of the main causes, he said, w hy there had not been more progress In the Philippines was that the Spooner amendinenl passed by congress lust, year and restricting the giant of fran chises, had the effect of preventing the Investment of capital and the conse quent employment of labor. Many people were, Idle and many of these became conspirators simply because they were idle. INDUSTRY, AT A STANUSTILU The secretary Instanced the fact that although rice was one of the main products of the Philippines, yet about fj,000,00 worth of rice had to be im ported last year. In (his and many other bran hes of industries the wheels of Industry were not moving, the peo ple out of employment were encour aged in viclousness and as a result it was necessary to keep 40.000 troops in the islands. In some Instances a very satisfactory civil administration had been set up. Rut Mr. Root pointed out that even In provinces where civil government I had been a success there were men conspiring to assist in the agitation and warfare carried on in nelghbor- ' Ing prov inces. ! On the whole, however, the secre ' tary expressed the belief that If con " Kress enacted (he bill proposed by j Senator Lodge, or that of Representa j live Cooper providing systems of law for the Philippines, It would be possi ble soon thereafter to gradually re duce the militnry establishment In the Philippines. He did not believe H would be a rapid or complete .termi nation of military rule, as the condi tions among the natives were firmly fix. d and it would take considerable time to bring about the new order of things, Mr. Root said that bitter progress h:id been made In the last year than hart been expected and he expressed the opinion that civilisation, ultimate ly, would bo extended to the people of ' the Islands. To illustrate this point, he said the Philippine people had been In effect living under a sixteenth cen tuiy government and the United States wanted to give them a twentieth cen tury government. The situdtlnn in Cuba was discussed only briefly, as Mr. Root iemark-d th..t wc were simply trustee there whereas cur interest In the Philippines w;is much more' definite and extended, puili- ulaiiy over the large sweep of public hinds. Mr. Root also stated during the hearing that It was the ex pectation of the wat i pnrini'-nt to do away with the army transport ser viee, so hat the transportation of troops thereafter would be carried on by private concerns. Some questions hud been raised by numbers of the ctisuniltt'e "to the propriety of an item In the bill of $1,000,000 for emer gency expenses of the war department The secretary said this amount was unnrnessary and had been estimated through oversight, so that the com mittee will doubtless omit this emer gency fund from the bill. TRAFFIC MANA6ERS VIOLATE LAW. Chicago, III. (Special.) A startling turn was given to the examination of the traffic managers of various rail roads before Ihe Interstate commerce commission yesterday, when they free ly acknowledged that they have been continually violating the Interstate commerce law against rebate in their dealings with the packers. Among those who testified to this effect are Paul Morton, ccond vice president of the Santa Ye; A. C. Hlrd, third vice president of the St. Paul, and J. M. Johnson, third vice presi dent of the Rock Island. It I the expressed Intention of the member of the commission to proceed at once against the packer for their acceptance of the discriminating rate.

Several high official were granted audiences today, (Turing will' h the em peror filled the role of a figurehead. The empress dowager sat on hi ma jesty's left and conducted th conver sations. According to the accounts of two of the offlilals who were received today, the dowager empress Ignored the emperor and the lnttcr did not at- tempt to take any part In the affair. These officials said his majesty ap pear ed melancholy and listless. Tbe prlui Ipal topic ot conversation during these audiences was the presence In I'ekln of the foreign garrisons. The dowager empress seemed Impressed with the necessity of a conciliatory polii y. Evidence accumulates pointing to I the timidity of the dowager empress about coining back to I'ekln. Her first reniHik upon slighting at the Machia pu station was: -Where are the for eign soldiers?" Upon seeing a number of newspaper correspondents at the station the em press bowed to tlum obsequiously. The dowager empress proposes to decorate the Amcrban and Japanese officers who guarded the Imperial pal ace during the court's absence. She wll lalso confer the decorations upon the officers and engineers who had charge of the imperial train during the railroad Journey from Pao Ting Fu. The dowager empress has signed an edict ordering the decapitation of Gen eral Tung Fuh Klang, the notorious autl-forelgner. A tartar general in Kan Su province has been ordered to carry out this sentence. RAILROAD FOR THE BIS HORN BASIL Cody, Wyo. (Special.) It is report ed from Garland, a station north of Cody on the Cody-Toluca line, that grading outfitters have stored their machinery there with the understand ing that the road will be extended on to the coal field near Meeeteetse, own ed by Senator Clark of Montana. The line has been surveyed and It Is un derstood that work will be commenced on the grade early in the spring. The distance from Cody to the coal fields Is ' about thirty-five miles. It Is also reported that Colonel Cody and his associates have a grant of 200,000 acres of land In the Hlg Horn basin which they will lose In another year unless they get water on It. It will cost upward of tl.000,000 to water, the tract, but when the canals are 'instructed the land will be worth $10 per Hi re. Without railroads It Is dim cult to get farmers to settle In the ba sin country, and Cody and his associ ates are working to have a number of branches of the P-urlington built, In cluding the line to the coal fields, to tap the large agricultural section. It Is said that the coming year will witness gnat activity in the Big Horn basin country. The Burlington rail road, which owns thousands of acres of valuable coal lands there, Is Inter- ested In the development of the coun tiy and will construct numerous branches that will ojien up sections now remote from railroad communica tion.
