by the present appearance of things , but
he added that there were still more con

however , and 1 'hlnk eoon , " he added. "We
h.-no a tedious job , but It Is not a hopclpfo
one , and there Is no foundation to the re-
potts that we are In danger of not reaching
an agreement. "
The day was spent In considering minor
details of the bill which had been passed
over , with an occasional reference to the
differences on the sugar schedule , which
Is still the stumbling block There was
eorno dlncuKslon of a comprom'so ' on this
och dull1 , and the general impression about
the stnate was that the changed aspect In
the committee was due to the fact that there
was a conciliatory disposition on the pan

WASHINGTON July 13 Mr. Stewart
moved In the senate toda } a reconsldeiatlon
of the action of the senate In passing the
lesolution directln ? the ( -ccietnry of war to
proceed In the construction of a breakwater
at Han Pedro , Cal. It reopened the long
standing ccntroveisy over the location of a
deepwater harbor on the I'.iciflc coast and
led to an exciting debate letween Mr Stew
art and Mr. White of California. Mr. Stew
art argued that the original law provided for
a deepwnter haibor to cost about } 3 000,000 ,
while the inquiries of the sec-rotary of war
disclosed that the breakwater would cost
this sum. while the entire harbor would
cot about $3,300,000.
Mr White answered that government en
gineers had reported that tne breakwater
would give a hirbor of commcicc and In
addition to this there was an Inner harbor
available. It was rather surprising. Mr
White added , that the senator fiom Nevada ,
who presumably represented the people of
hl.s state and not of C Ilfornia , should In-
teifere in th's question.
This stirred up a hot pciiional ccntest
With evident agitation .Mr , Stewart declared
that ho rescn'ed the Intimations made. He
hail 11 light as a senator to adopt such
course as ho desired and ho had no peisonal
Interests to nerve , such as tboso who
reprcEcnti'd terminal railroads. Ho did not
proposu to diag in such questl ns.
Mr White responded that as far as termi
nal railroads were concetned he did not
represent any of them , He represented
California , ami on tula question ho had
the concurrence of his colleiguo from
California , the California delegation In con-
press and the people of the stale , and they
felt that they could attend to the interests
of the state without the assistance of the
senator from Nevada "It Is lather singu
lar , " proceeded Mr. White , "tint when we
have n matter affecting the Southern Pacific
railroad the senator from Nevada steps In
and attempts to do the duty cf a senator
from California. Inferences can lie deducted
and cnly ono Infeience can be deducted
that the senator does not represent any con
stituency whatever in this matter. The
people of Nevada have no Interest In It "
Mr Stewart had rcmalred on his feet ,
and in indignant tones answered : "I repel
the charge I am hero as a senator of Ne
vada 1 do not allow private Interests to
affect niote or in } action I can do rlghl ,
notwithstanding the Southern Pacific or any
body who is connected with It. 1 do
not oppose everthing that comes up that

Ncrthern Pacific , or the people at large
I do not hold up any man or corporation
I hate ai a led tlag agalr.Ht legislation "
Tlio senator called on Mr White to show
anything In his course In the scnato to
warrant such criticisms Then It would bi <
tlmo to make charges , but until then he
would proceed as he deemed right , without
regard to sneers from an } ono The rootlet ,
to reconsider was then disagreed to on a viva

left on their vacations Wednesday , but their
abaine-e was not pcicepliblo In the atoembly
room } esteiday.
The ilret Mibject treated In the momlng
waii "Indian School imploes : In Inillaii
Schools , " which was opened with n vely
well piepued paper bj Ur C H. li\on ) ot
ll.is.kell , Kan. Ho &poke brlelly ot the manner -
nor In which the Indians were gradually
leaching th.it degree of civilization In which
uielr eel \lcis could bo utilised In the In
dian bchools. About III per cent of the pris-
eiu Indian sen lie t'lnplnjea were Indians.
Most of them were cinplujed In minor posi
tion * , at fcinall salaries , but they wire
gradually showing themseives competent to
Illl more linpoitaiu poslttuis. An Investi
gation had developed ihc fact that the In
dian emplojci had done an well or better
than the white umplocn who hid previously
held these positions 'Ihej had been moro
competent than white euiilo ] > iii who hail had
equal opportunities for preparation. One ob-
jee-tun was the fact tint in most cases tno
Indiana had lehs regard for the welfare of
the puplki than the white empocs. ! The
hop ot emploj incut was , however , a gloat
tiueeitlvo for the Indians to html their
children to the befools and to the pupils
10 Improve- their oppit tunllU-K The/ fact of
earning munuj had an uect In developing
ludivlduallt } and cultivating a feeling of
Independence.
THOItOUfill TRAINING NEEDED.
In conclusion the speaker warned the
Kupcrlniemlents ngaltiht recommending a
pupil for a position In sonic other school ,
simply because he could not keep up with
big grade anil he wanted him off Ills hands ,
lie contended for a moie thorough aril
practical tialnlng foi Indians w'Mo vvero to
become teachers. There wa no reason why
the - > amo. qualifications should not be re-
quliod from an Indian that were necessary
In a white teacher.
N II Herr. an Indl > n from Fort Lewis ,
Colo. , dlhcusscd the same subject. He said
tint a threc-jonr ! ? course was not sufllclcnt
time In which to implant In an Indian tlio
seeds of civilization The pupil was sent
homo aftei a three yeara' comse and Ilia
parents induced and even compelled him to
htay. The icaiilt WJB that 111 a } ear ho was
again wealing a blanket and entirely dls-
lardmg the use of UnglU-h
In speaking of the emiiloymcnt of the
Indldii In the t-ervice the speaker fcald that
the Ilrst ( | uestlon was whethei the applicant
had an uppltillon to hiiccced In his work.
Ho could not be Hiiccmsful unless ho was
willing to assume the full iisponslblllty of
tne position and make the must of It It
was also Inadvisable to employ an Indian
tendur in a school wheie any of the puplla
were of his own tilbe It was the alincnt
universal experience that In these cases they
dVicaided Ungllflh and conversed with the
pupils In their own language.
The dlscusrtion which followed was led by
