WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. (Special Tele
gram.) Congressman Stash say'hscaa
not support tba lrrlgatloa measure now be
fore tbs bouse committee on Irrigation' of
rid lands unless Nebraska Is protected.
In tbls position Unrepresentative from
the Fourth Nebraska district says Be Is
entirely consistent, as originally. hs .placed
himself on record In a -letter' to Repre
entatlve Newlands relative to certain fea
tures of the measure, which, was then. In a
nebulous condition, before tba gperisll'cvjn
mlttee of senators and representatives from
the arid and semi-arid states 'chosen to
formulate soma measure whlph they' could
support as a unit. . . .
Congressman Stark will , endeavor ; to
amend the bill, so that 25 per cent of tba
reclamation fund, so-called, shall be used
for the examination and construction of
Irrigation worts for tbs atorage,-diversion
and development of, Waters. He goes fur
ther thsn.-ihls and Insists that tba bill
should be-amended'trf as to provide that
76 per cent;' of--. the' amount raised from
each, state, o( territory shall be expended
within the, borders ef, the said tata or ter
ritory. :f ;',.. . . . V . ir . ..
Ha also proposes to amend section t of
the bill,, which .la of. vital. Importance . to
Nebraska, aa this section, relates .to the
control, approptlatlon, use. and, distribution
of water used for the purposes of Irriga
tion. Tola eectlon as draws would permit
Wyoming to use all the water in the Platte
river before It ever reached the borders of
Nebraska, leaving but a atreak In the
landacape to mark where once the Platte
Sowed.
Congress to Control Platte.
Mr., Stark . proposes to put the Platte
river' tinder' 'control' of congress, making
tht toddy arbiter over an Interstate stream,
Which he' claims it' has the right to be
tinder ; the constitution, ' and removing it
from the domalfl Of State control. To do
thl Tie' ' proposes an amendment netting
forth, that th act shall not Interfere with
the laws of ny slate or. territory relating
to the distribution of ' water from "any
stream, natural or artificial, that Issues
and -empties into still water within the
borders of said state or territory," and as
a. further safeguard he provides that the
water' OseJ In works constructed for Irrl
. gatlcin purposes "shall net be taken from
any stream or branch of the same that
flows into another state or territory, and

In those, sections .of, the country where the

It appear to the Agricultural department
that the dlaease Is probably due to a

it atthnuffti Mr. Mitchell of Oregon, Mr.
Foraker of Ohio, Mr. Mallory of Flor.da and
Mr. Tillman of 8outh Carolina all took more
nr laaa tvart in the general debate on the
subject. Mr. Burrow maintained that con
gress waa dealing with the question as it
was today, and with no reference to wnai
took place In the past or what might take
place In the future.
He maintained that the United Btates' oc
cupancy of the Islands was with due regard
to International obligations. Mr. Manory ot
Florida spoke particularly In favor of tis
amendment to that portion of the bill re
lating to the navigation laws and said that
it naraaaarr In the. interest of Amer
ican shipping. Mr. Money maintained that
it was as much a question of what couia oe
done with the Filipino aa it wa to legls
tata In tha. interests of our own people.
There were several rather lively exchanges
between Mr. Foraker and the opposition
senators during the debate.
Tillman's Resolution Adopted.
a raanintlnn offered by Mr. Tillman of
or.tn Carolina was adonted. directing the
Civil Service commission to transmit to the
senate a statement howmg tne appoint

and the District of Columbia, together with
the percentages of employe m tne aepsn-
ments.
Wa hold the Philippine Island Dy a
title that cannot be challenged by ny
court In Christendom," ald Mr. Burrow,
resuming his speech. "We have become re
sponsible for them to the nation of the
world. The pending bill simply furnishes
revenues enough to meet the need of the
government of the Philippine."
Mr. Burrows epeecn was mmmipwu
allow the enate to agree to a conference
on the houe bill establishing a permanent
census office and to appoint senators wuar
les. McComas and Taliaferro a conferee
on the part of the aenate.
Mr. Burrow resumed nis ,jeecn who a
nf tha beginning ot the war In the
Philippines, his effort being to show that
the United States proposed to maae us oc
cupation of the islands as gentle aa poa
slble with a due regard to this government'
International obligations.
Question of Authority.
TChiia tha Mlchla-an senator wa reading
the proclamation of President McKlnley
known as the "benevolent assimilation"
.MAi.mitinn Mr. Tillman Interrupted to
nnniu it ha contended that the president
had authority to issue tnat proclamation.
"NO-dOUbt OI It, replied r. oiure
'ttrtiiia tha treaty, had .not been ratified
.i.. ...... M..t hail tha authority to Issue
such a proclamation a a guide to' th
troop." .

"altbouga that proclamation Ignored the
nnmirai status ot tne rniuriDines. it -was
expected, that the' 9,000,000 of people would
aaaA tn Ita nrovlalon." '
' Mr. Culberson Interrupted to say that the
proclamation was considered so ' extreme
that a part 01 it wa suppressed Dy ueu
ral rttla.
Mr. Burrows asserted that the Filipino
were not prepared by either education or
exnerlence for Independence and could not
maintain It If granted them.
Opposed to Innovation.
Mr. Mallory of Florida declared hi op
position to the principle underlying the
pending measure. ...
Ha maintained that the DrODOSltlon of
the majority to admit foreign ship to our
coastwise trade waa too great an innova
tion and it ought not to do considered
iirhti ;Vr Mallory did not want to em
barrass the shipping on the Pacific., so hs
bad fixed in his amendment a limit or time
riurin which foreign ship should enjoy
participation in the Philippine trade.
That limit wa July l, isos. Alter mat
time, according to hla amendment, the
United states navlaatton law would apply
to the Philippine trade exclusively.
Mr. Money of Mississippi replied to some
nolnta In tha aneech made by Mr. Mitchell
a tew day ago, contending that our failure
to recognise the Independence of the Fili
pino at any time could have no peering on
their standing a a people.
Mitchell Replies to Money.

pecially tor the"' purpose" of eradicating
from our country tne practice on tne part
ot congress of conferring autocratic powers
on the executive.
,"We will find befqre we. terminate tbls
experiment," he said, '.'that the saddest day

as be said, from the day the first democrat
purchased a bogus coat-of-arros from Queen
LUloukalanl, by. the last democratlo presi
dent. He finally dismissed the whole sub
ject by saying it ahould be accepted abroad
a on of tha "erratlo and sporadlo phases
of Amsrlcan humor."
Hamilton n Trasts.
Mr. Hamilton, a Michigan republican, en
livened the session with an entertaining
speech on trusts. The other speakers were
Mr. Little ot Arkansas, who discussed con
dition In the Indian Territory; Mr. Cor
liss of Mississippi, who spoke of the Pa
cific cable; Mr. Tlmmlna of Texas, on
statehood for Oklahoma; Mr. 8ulzer of New
Tork, on Increased pay for letter carriers;
Mr. Fitzgerald of New Tork, on the educa
tion of the Indians; Mr. Jackson of Kan
sas, en the election of senators by the
people, and Mr. Newlands of Nevada, on the
bill to redeem silver dollar In 'gold.
Mr. Corliss of Mlohlgan delivered the
second installment of hla speech In favor
of the building ot a government cable to
the Philippines. He argued against any
consideration of the Commercial Cable
company' offer to build a cable from Saa
Francisco to Manila, denouncing th cor
poration as an ally of the Eastern Exten
sion Cable company, whoee allied lines, he
said, embraced a system which aggregates
nearly 70,000 nautical mile ot cable, cov
ering the most extensive and powerful cable
and telegraph monopoly in the world.
Extend Present Monopoly.
He said their line reached every con
tinent, except North America, and the pur
pose of the union with its American ally,
the Commercial Pacific Cable company, la
to encircle the globe and to extend the In-
fluence and advantage ot its present mo
nopoly In the Pacific ocean and far east. .
"What have you to say to the allegation,1
Interrupted H. C. Smith of Michigan, ".that
your bill Is In the interest ot the Western
Union Telegraph company?". .
Mr. Corliss replied that he was glad the
question had been asked, he said: "In the
Flttjr-fifth congress the Pacific Cable com
pany and the Commercial were aeeklng leg
ltlatton for the privilege of constructing a
subsidy-fed cable. He had then cou
tended, he said, . that . If two great com
panlea. .wanted the privilege it should be
given to the lowest. and. best bidder, or that
a aovernment cahla should bs built. At that)
flme, lie said, the Western Union opposed,
his Idea and the Postal ' encouraged the
Idea of a government cable.' The Postal and
the Commercial had formed an alliance
With 'the Eastern company and was now
opposed to a government cable. The West
ern Union and Atlantlo Cable company were
now threatened with a monopolistic cable
combination.
For Popnlar Vote. '
Mr. Jackson of Kansas spoke In favor of
agitation against the aenate to compel it to
rass the joint resolution for a constitutional
amendment for the election of senator by
direct popular vote.
.Mr. Kern of Illinois, who announcsd that
he represented a large German constit
uency and was himself a son ot German
parents, protested against the attempt to
make political capital out of the recent
speech ot. Representative Wheeler, which
he characterised a an "insignificant incl
dent."
Mr. Boutell of Illinois congratulated Mr.
Kern on hla accession to the band of Amer
ican humorist in which Mr. Wheeler
ranked so high. Mr. Boutell then pro
ceeded with delicate humor, to trace the
origin ef what Mr. .Wheeler- had: called
'truculent sycophancy." First, be read a
letter written by Thomas Jefferson In 1771,
In which he authorised the purchase of a
ocat of arms tor him, and from another
written four yeara later, in which he eald
he would rather be dependant on Great Brit
ain than any other country or than none."
Down to Martial Van Bnren.
Then he passed down to the dsys of Mar
tin Van Buren and told ot the visit of his
son John to th court of St. James, which
earned for him the sobriquet "Prince
John," by which he was known afterward.
Mr. Boutell said he felt sure that when the
daughter of the president returned from the
coronation of King Edward abe would not
be known as "Princess Alice."
Mr. Boutell caused great amusement by
reading a published account of the tour of
the United States by the . Grand . Duke
Alexis In 1871, dwelling upon the details of
his visit to Kentucky, where he was re
ceived "officially", and with grsst state.
With exceedingly good temper be concluded
by expressing the hope that what had oc
curred in the house within the last -week
would be accepted abroad simply ss an
other evidence ot the erratlo and sporadlo
form which American humor sometimes
took in the American house Of representa
tives. i .
Mr. Fleming ef Georgia closed the Inci
dent with a few remarks, explaining
wherein ho took issue with Mr. Wheeler.
General debate on the Indian appropria
tion bill wa closed and at 8:05 p. m. the
bouse adjourned.

Regulations.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Secretary Shaw
ha received from Elisabeth C. Hobson,
secretary of the commute of women who
recently made, complaint of the personal
baggage Inspection methods at New York
and other port la th United State, an
answer to bis circular letter to the women
making complaint, asking them numerous
questions on tbe subject. The answer says
the secretary' letter "seems to be quite
beside the mark."
' "The real question," say Mrs. Hobson's
Istter, "is whether or not you propose to
maintain the regulations or alter them?
You know that receipted bills are not ao-
eeptsd as proof of value. Others of your
questions relate to the recollections of
traveler aa to what happened oa different
voyages during a period of three yeara and
their futility suggest that they were pre
pared by the aame one of yeur subordinate
a drafted the Impossible regulations. It
is not for us ta say how you should admin
later the lsw, but It seems proper to point
out wherein regulations constitute ah
offense."
REDELL HEARING UNDER WAT

a yell like wild Indians, and up the stairs
they rsn to sign It."
t'nrsed the Men la llonaea.
Firemsn Edward Leeder related another
phase of the Redell character. "I've seen
blm come Into engine house No. 1 on cold
winter days," said hs, "when he would have
bis overcost and gloves on, and curse and
swear at the men because there was a
little Are in the stove. I've known him
also to raise Csln because the man who
was on the night watch wanted to burn a
little gaa to read by.
'I waa at the Mercer Chemical eompany
lire, when four firemen were killed. One
fireman looked out of the second -story
window at hla dead comrades lying below,
when Redell bawled at him like a wild bull,
'What are you doing up there?'
'The man said be- was looking at his
dead comrades. i
" 'Well, ro home! . Go home; -
you!' Redell yelled at blm.
"At another Are I saw blm knock down
an outsider, who waa standing looking on.
Tbe crowd took It up and jeered him." .
Tamed th Hose on Them.
Lieutenant Patrick H. Dempsey toid what
happened at the Glencoe mill lire. "Eight
of us were trying to life a slxty-two-foot
ladder up to a third-story window," aald
he, "but there was a telephone wire In the
way, which caused some delay. Redell
didn't seem to understand the situation, for
he flew into a passion, and began cursing
us. Suddenly he snatched a hose nozzel
away from some firemen who were playing
It on the fire and turned it square upon us
He was about twenty feet away from us
'You damned blockheads,' he screamed, 'I'll
wash you off the face of the earth!'
"I jumped behind the ladder, which broke
the force of the stream so fsr as I was
concerned, but one ef the men was knocked
down by it. There waa a pressure of about
nln3ty-five pounda to the square Inch. The
water came with such force that If it bad
truck a man in a vital spot It would have
disabled blm for life, or If it had struck
him square in tbe face it would have pnt
bis eyes out." .
"Did the chief pull the stream off th
fire In order to turn it on you men?" asked
Attorney Connell.
"Yes, sir," was the answer.
'"Did It have a tendency to stimulate the
men to greater effort?"
"No, sir; It demoralized us, and made" us
so nervous we couldn't do anything. We
were doing everything in our power before,
but when he turned the water on' us we
had to drop the ladder'
Effects of Choking a Fireman,
At this point Attorney Connell introduced
In evidence the petition for personal dam
ages filed In the district court by Fireman
Jamea Slber against Redell, wherein the
former claimed that Redell had choked blm
by squeezing his hands over hi throat, in
flicting Injuries which were permanent..
Ppltce Officer Rentfrew confined hla testi
mony to an account of the Monro fire,, on
which occasion. Redell Is alleged.. to have
applied an opprobrious epithet., to Mayor
Moores. Robert Vanderforji . corroborated
