WASHINGTON. Jan 14. The Oerinan For
rlgn office haa denied the statomcnt that '
(lerniany was endeavoring to nocure con- .
trol of the Panama canal franchise.
In transmitting this denial Mr. Tower j
did not credit the German government with i
any feeling for or against the enterprise, I
but It la gathered that public, feeling In
Xrlln. certainly In commercial clrclea, la
favorable to American construction because
of the benefits expected to accrue to Ger
man hhlpplnt,.
There is no change In the status of nego
tiations with Colombia respecting the canal,
fircnl Impatience la exhibited at the delays
and prcKsura la being brought to bear to
hasten a conclusion bo that the president,
before adjournment of the present rongresa.
may have acquired control of either the
Panama or the Nicaragua route and be In

treaties with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
conveying the tiecessary authority for the
construction of the Nlcaraguan canal.

National Company Law.
The report of the committee on national
incorporation law, signed by B. F. Thurbor,
Morris 8. Wise, F. L. Hitchcock and David
Hatzler, contained the following resolution:
Whereas, Steam and electricity have wid
ened the areas of commercial effort and
forced the organisation of industry into
larger units
Resolved. That enlightened statesmanship
ration .mi to this .nd th. Kniinnsi Uor.i I
of Trade recommends a national Incorpora
tion law. witnin constitutional limitation,
which will permit the co-operation of many
small partnera as stockholders In organiza
tions which can effectively deal with the
economic problems presented In Interstate
and foreign commerce.
The motion waa unanimously adopted.
Mr. Clarkson, clothier, of the Philadel
phia Trades league called up .the resolu
tion introduced by that body recommend
ing congress to admit to the Philippines
not mere than 200,000 mnle adult Chinese.
Prof. Elroy Avery of the Cleveland

On the question of tariff revision the

mended that feature of the law reserving
reclaimed landa for actual settlers and
urged that in the future administration of

FREE COAL IS GIVEN
(Continued from First Page.)
not believe Its enactment would result In
the Importation of much coal, or much re
ductlou In Its price.
Mr. Maddox (Ga.) denounced the whole
proceeding as a piece of humbug.
Mr. Cochran (Mo.) declared that thla was
"late-day repentance" on the other side.
It the president and Department of Justice
hid done their duty months ago, when they
were galavantlcg around denouncing trusts
the situation would be different now.
In reply to a question by Mr. McCsll
(Mass.) Mr. Tayne said In his opinion the
rebate on coal would apply to coal In bond
Mr. Dayton (W. Va.) wanted to do every
thing In bis power to relieve the existing
distress, but did not believe the pending
bill would accomplish anything. A drastic
method, he said, might be effective the
suspension of the clause of the Interstate
commerce law which prohibited dlsrrira
Ination against classes of freight (or sixty
days. He said that the mines of his slat
were running half time because they could
not get cars to move their coal.
Defends High Prlres ( Barges'.
Mr. Calnes (W. Va ) opposed the bill, de
daring that It would give no relief. He de
fended prl.-ea charged Ly eoal operators
"I know," said he, "of no class of bus!
nets men who do not etui e whatever the
market persons them to charge."
Mr. Mondell (Wyo ) also opposed the bill,
aaylog it would Injurs the coal UluaUy
of his section by allowing Chinese-mined
coal from Canada to come Into competition
with it.
Mr. De Armond (Mo.) aald the bill should
have been passed the first day of the c
slon. Mr. MeDermott (N. J.) declared that the
bill wss an admitted pretense and was
merely an attempt to deceive the public
Into the belief that something was being
done. The limitation of the time would
prevent foreign coal producers anywhere
from permanently Investing capital to pro
duce for the American market.
The bill was then passed by 2S8 to IS.
The house then resumed the consideration
of the army appropriation bill.
While the army bill waa under considers.
tlon a message from the senate announced
the passnge of the coal rebate bill with an
amendment permanently removing the duty
on anthracite.
Mr. Payne (N. T.) 'moved to concur In the
amendment. Its reading was applauded on
the democratic aide and Mr. Richardson
remarked that the privilege of making the
motion should have been accorded hie side
of the house. The amendment ras unani
mously concurred In and the bill passed.
The consideration of the army bill waa
then resumed and at 6:30 the house ad
journed. SENATE ACTS UNANIMOUSLY
A (trees to Rons Coal Measare With
out glnarle Dissenting;
Vote.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 The senate to
day acted promptly on the house bill pro
viding a rebate on the coal duty and
passed it unanimously, without debate, a
few minutes after it W'as brought over
from the house. The military bill was aleo
passed with an amendment striking out the
section providing for the reserve force of
trained men.
For an hour and a half Mr. Tillman (S.
C.) denounced trusts and monopolies and
severely criticised the attorney general.
The statehood bill was up for a short
time, during which Mr. McCumber (N. D.)
spoke in favor of granting statehood to
Oklahoma, Arttona and New Mexico. After
a brief executive session the senate ad
journed. Soon after the senate met Mr. Hoar
(Mass.) introduced a concurrent resolu
tion calling upon the president to inform
the eenate what government existed in the
Island of Guam and through what execu
tive department the powera of such gov
ernment were executed and administered,
as well as the number of Inhabitants, and
alio by what authority Mablnl, the Fili
pino chief, was being detained at Guam.
At Mr. Hoar's request the resolution went
ever until tomorrow.
The Vest resolution regarding the duty on
anthracite coal then was considered. Mr.
Tillman (3. C), in pursuance of his notice
of yesterday, addressed the senate. He aald
that Mr. Aldrich, since the resolution came
tip, had become more strenuous and had
exhibited more feeling and earnestness thkj
he thought him capable of.
The energy of the venerable and brilliant
senator from Missouri, Mr. Tillman said,
had put a apur to the lagging horses in the
house of representatives, and those In the
senate who had been cold-bloodedly con
templating the condition of r. flairs for a
month. His only wonder, he said, waa that
ln tnoBe "J'og time of ceath and distress
mobs were not taking steps to show mo
ropollsts that In the laet resort men
would never starve or freexe to death, but
would throttle the law If necessary and
take It Into their own hands.
He criticised those who said there waa
no sufficient remedy tor the evils and aald
hey may load down the statute booke with
laws, but unless the wworn officers of the
law discharged their duties fearlessly and
honestly every effort to protect the people
would fall because of their dereliction.
"Efforta have been made," he continued,
'proof has been filed, pleadings have been
made, petitions lo ihe attorney general
warning and begging him to protect thj
people against the Impending danger, but
he baa sat quietly in his office and done
nothing. Rich and poor alike are freezing
becauae of the fact that a monopoly doea
exist, but the lawyers have failed to in
terpret Ihe law In the Interest ot the peo
ple."
He criticised the coal strike commission
ers and said they were taking Irrelavent
and unnecessary testimony, whe.i If thiy
wanted to they could find out about the
combination and report to congress that
such a monopoly existed.
He criticised a decision by Judge Taft
Involving a case under the interstate com
merce law and said It was the same judge
who would not leave "the onerous -and
odious" duties to which he was now en
gaged In the Philippines for a seat on the
supreme bench.
At 2 o'clock the statehood bill was taken
up, and Mr. Tillman gave notice that te
would continue his remarks tomorrow.
Mr. McCumber (N. J ) then addressed the
eenata on the statehood bill.
Mr. McCumber favored statehood for
Oklahoma, Arlxona and New Mexico and
compared the conditions existing In those
territories with those which prevailed In
Dakota before NOrth and South Dakota
were admitted Into the union.
The house bill providing for free coal
was reported favorably by the finance com
mittee, Mr. Aldrich (R. I ) remarking (hat
the committee's action was unanimous.
He offered a committee amendment add
ing a new sertlou to the bill providing
that the provisions of paragraph 415 of
ihe Dlngley art should not be constructed
thereafter to authorize the Impoeltoln of
any duty on anthracite. He asked imme
diate consideration.
Mr. Vest (Mo.) remarked that fc" hoped
the bill would pass without a single dis
senting vote. The amendment phased unan
imously.
The statehood bill was laid aside and the
military bill taken up. Mr.Quarlea (Wis )
offered an amendment, which was agreed
to, striking out all of section 14, regarding
a reserve force of 100,000 trained men. The
bill waa then passed.
At 4:33 the senate went Into executive
session and adjourned shortly afterward.

roiin contest before the Whlttington Park
Athletic aspoclat Ion.
Just before the end of the seventeenth
round Corbet t landed a stiff left swing
glancing on the stock, and as a result "Rlc
was siok and all but helpless. On the call
of time for the eighteenth round "Battling"
Nelson, Rice's eecond, threw a towel Into j
the ring and Corbett was given the de
cision. As a whole the fight whs disappointing.
It had been freely predicted that Rice would
not stay ten rounds and most of the bet
ting was on that basis. The feature of the
contest was Rice's foot-work, but for hla
success in dodging Corbett'a lunges he
would have gone out In quicker time.
Nearly every round consisted of rushea
and aegresBive fighting by Corbett and
feinting Rnd dodging by Rice.
Once the champion went to tho floor, hia
foot slipping as ho dodged a lunge from
Rice. Rice fell to his knees under similar
circumstances, but both men were on their
feet in an instant.
Rice landed almost as many blowa aa
the champion, but they lacked force and
did but slight damage. Corbett in return
landed many face blows, but his most
vicious swings or uppercuts were either
dodged or blocked and those that went
home had small effect.
Rice's fight was purely to Mny the
twenty rounds and he fought almost en
tirely on the defensive. Bo successful waa
he in dodging that Corbett sawed the air
and ran into the ropes with force.
The fight was referred by Tat Early, for
merly of Chicago. At the ringside were
many prominent sporting mil. Manager
Mullen of the association received many
telegrams from all parts of the country
challenging the winner. They were re
ceived with great applause by the spec
tators when read from the ringside.
ROGERS WOULD PREFER LAW
Philadelphia Rnse Rail Treasnrer Ite
pndlates Cincinnati Pence
Treaty.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14 John I.
Rogers, treasurer of the Philadelphia Na
tional League Pase Rail club, In an Inter
view todnj denounced President Johneon
of the American league os a man who fails
to keep his word, and denied ihat the
pence cemmlttee of his league had power
lo act.
The committee, Mr. Rogers said, waa
originally Instructed to meet the repre
sentatives of the American league with the
Idea of ascertaining itpon whxt terms the
two leagues could come to an amicable
agreement and end the co-called base ball
war.
Asked whether or not he had been con
sulted on the matter of peace terms, Mr.
Rogers admitted having received a com-1
muulcatlon from Chairman Herrmann ask
ing the attitude of the Philadelphia oill
clals on five polnta likely to be taken up at
the conference, one of them being the dla
posal ot the players. According to Mr.
Rogers a most emphatic refusal was glv.Mi
to even consider the last named proposi
tion. "Outnumbered ninety-nine tq one," in
sisted Mr. Rogers, "we Would never agree
to give up that which rightfully belongs to
us. If pushed, we should naturally take
the matter to the courts.
"1 am at a loss to ascertain what hap
pened, ns I know nothing beyond what was
In the newevapere."
He Hi kiinw b-dged, however, receiving a
typewritten report from Cincinnati, which,
however, he argued, was Identical to word
ing to that given to the papers and con
tained no reason for disregarding the
wishes of the Philadelphia club.
"What action w-'M you take nt the Na
tional league meeting in Cincinnati on
Monday?" Mr. Rogers was asked.
"None whatever, was the reply, "as 1
cannot be tbtre. The club, however, will
be represented. As to what stand we will
take remain to be seen. I never cross
bridges until I come to them. The whole
nspect of things may be rhnnged wh-n I
hear from Mr. Dreyfus. There may be
t'-rtaln clauses, stipulations or agreement
not Included In the general report which
will place an entirely different light on the
subleet."
Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburg called on
Mr. Kopers today, but remained only 't
short time. He will meet Mr. Rogers agnlti
tomorrow. Concerning Mr. Dreyfus' visit
Mr. Rogers said:
"I have no knowledge whatever of any
deal by which the vlelt of Mr. Dreyfus can
be connected with the stile of the Pbllndfl
pTila club, although, as I have o often
said, I would be heartily glad to get out of
the business."
