Sutherland of Utah Argues His Right
to Seat Declares Smoot Has Al
ways Been An Anti-Polyga- ,
. mist and Respected Law.
refused landing by Immigration Com
missioner North, under instructions
from Washington. It is presumed that
the Japanese came to Honolulu under
contract and after serving a short
term of employment in the Hawaiian
islands ,were sent to Pacific coast
points under contract.
AN ISLAND WAS ENGULFED.
The senate Tuesday passed the com
promise Foraker resolution authoriz
ing the committee on military affairs
to investigate the facts of the affray
at Brownsville on the nights .of Au
gust 13 and 14 last without question
ing "the legality or justice of any act
of the president in relation to or con
nected with that affray." This action
came after the subject had been under
consideration almost daily since the
first day of the present session of con
gress and every phase of the question
had been discussed.
Before the adoption of the resolu
tion several substitute measures were
voted down. One by Senator Mallory
declaring that the president had au
thority for his course and acted justly,
which was tabled by a vote of 43 to 22.
Another by Senator McCuniber simply
providing for an investigation without
reference to the president in any man.
was tabled by a viva 'voce vote. A
third by Senator Culbertson, simply
endorsing the president's action and
providing for no Investigation was tab
led by a roll call vote of 46 to 19.
There was no record vote on the
resolution adopted.
Senator Culbertson came to the de
fense of his colleague. Senator Smoot,
of Utah, defending his right to retain
his seat in the United States senate.
Prefacing his argument with observa
tions on the gravity of the charges
aginst Mr. Smoot, the junior Utah
senator said if Smoot was a violator
of the law, either as principal or as
accessory, or recognized any ellegiance
to any power paramount to the alle
giance he owed his flag and country,
or if by reason of his conduct he was
so morally unfit that his continued
presence in the senate would bring re
proach or shame upon it, he should not
retain his seat, otherwise he should.
In the course of his. remarks he said
the Senator Smoot has always been
anti-polygamist and that he- always
taught respect for law.

struction wrought by the tidal wave

Simalu is situated off the northwest
coast of the island of Sumatra.
COAL FAMINE MORE SERIOUS.
Attention of the President Called to
the Situation.
The coal famine situation in North
Dakota has become so serious that
Senator Hansborough conferred with
President Roosevelt to see if federal
means cannot be found to relieve the
situation. Telegrams appealing for
relief were laid before the interstate
commerce commission by Senator
Hansborough. The commissioners
have called the attention of the rail
roads interested to the renewed com
plaints. Senator Hansborough's conference
with the president was brief and no
conclusions were announced at the
white house.
MUST LEARN MACHINE WORK.
Day of Hand Typesetting Has Ended
. Says Stillings.
Public Printer Stillings has issued a
general order, in which he says the
days of hand composition are fast com
ing to a close. The order was issued

printing office's night school of instruc
tion on typesetting machines. The
school held its first session last night.
The instruction will be free, but no
pay will be given for the work accomplished.

SAYS CHILDREN ARE SOLD.
California Congressman Tells of Slav
ery Among Chinese.
"Chinese hoys and girls are sold in
the San Francisco markets every day
like horses and mules," was one of
the statements made by Representa
tive McKinlay of California before the
house committee on foreign affairs
which is considering the Perkins bill
to modify the Chinese exclusion act.
Mr. McKinlay urged that only a few
great companies, which brought such
young children to the country in prac
tical slavery would profit by afly modi
ucations of the exclusion act and said
the majority of Californians are op
posed to any tampering with the pres
ent law.
He expressed the belief than any
changes would indicate to the Chinese
that this government was weakening
in its position towards the Chinese
boycott against American products
and might result in a renewal of the
boycott.
"The idea that the anti-Japanese
and anti-Chinese movement is the
work o labor agitators, is erroneous,"
said Mr. McKinlay. . . , .
LABORERS FOR THE CANAL.
Mutinied on the Way to Isthmus-of
Panama.
The French line steamer Canada,
with 900 laborers on board, arrived at
Colon. The laborers are to work on
the canal. On January 11, while the
steamer was at Fort de France, Martinique,-
the laborers mutinied because
they did not want to come to the isth
mus, but preferred to disembark there
or at Trinidad. This the government
of these islands would not permit. Fif
teen of the leaders of the mutiny,
Italians and Spaniards, were placed
under arrest on board, and have been
turned over to ,th canal zone authorities.
