on Its proposed requirement that after Jan-I without division tha nennlon en-
vary 1. 19M, the tariff on export ana im
port traffic ba published and filed with the
commlsalon the fame ai domeitlo tariff.
A large number of representative of both
tha railroad and shippers att)nded tha
meeting. The former contended that under
tha present system the ahlpper are better
protected than under an Iron-clad printed
proprlatlon. bill carrying tl3S.150.100. While
tha bill was under consideration there waa
a general discussion on Panama, rural free
delivery; tariff and pensions.
Speeches were made by Meagre. Scott,
rep.'(Kan.), Mlera, dem., and Burneas, dem.
(Ksn.).
When tha house convened today the

,The railroads contended t'oat this cor.sll
tuted as fair a public advance notice of

of the various ports wliil the resulting

eattlc reaspaay acts Secret Rate.
During the aeanlon an admlaaion was
made by Frank Waterhouae, representing
tha Boat on Bteamahlp company of Seattle,
of a discriminating contract between that
company and tha Northern Pacific railroad
Mr. Waterho'iae was discussing the TS tent
through rate In hemp from Manila to Bt.
Paul, equally divided Between the wair
liner and the rallrOaJ
"Does It not come to this, then," asked
Chairman Knapp, "that you want the
Northern Pacific road to tarry hemp front
Beattle to 8L Paul for 37 cents when It la
brought over by your steamers, but If
brought over on a tramp steamer you want
them to charge twice this much as their
proportion of the rate?" '
Mr. Waterhuuss-fc-If brought over on a
tramp steamer they won't take It
Chairman Knapp Why not 7
Mr. Waterhouae Because they have a
contract with our - Una which prohibits
them from taking it.
Chairman Knapp You don't mean quite
that, do youT
Mr. Waterhouae? Yes, sir1, I mean that.
Chairman Knapp-The Northern Paciflo
has an arrangement, with you under which
they will not carry any hemp except that
you bring It over In' your at earners T
- Mr. Waterhouae I mean they will not
take It at the same rate. They would not
make the same through rate to a tramp
sailing ahlp or tramp, steamer that arrived
In tha habor of Seattle or Taooma that they
would to the regular line. ,
This admlaaion caused excitement, and
General Counsel M. D. Grover of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern- took the
stand to "explain the situation." '. .
the Cuban reciprocity treaty, using a gold
pen'provlded by the Cuban minister.
t'pon the reading of the bill permitting
Phoenix, Temps and Mesa. Arls., to bond
themselves for the construction of a wagon
road from Phoenix to the Bite of the 16,000,
000 dam to be constructed by the govern
ment for the Salt river valley irrigation
reservoir, Mr. Olmsted, rep. (Pa.), face
tiously Inquired If the proposition (o dam
Salt creek had been submitted, to the
minority.
Then the house went Into committee of
tha whole to resume consideration of the
pensions appropriation bill.
Mr. Scott, rep. (Kan.), reviewed the his
tory of rural free delivery, showing the at
titude of the democratic members toward
the system end contending that credit for
its successful establishment Is due the 1st'
ter.
Mr.' Mlera, dem. (Ind ), addressed himself
to the pension appropriation bill
The Panama question was discussed by
Mr. Sims, dem. (Tenn.), who took the
ground that the consistent course to pursue
was for the democrats to vote against the
treaty. This, he aald, would defeat It, in
which event he believed the president would
build the Nlcaraguan canal.
Mr. Reeder, rep. (Kan.), advocated a
service pension and spoke for the deserv
ing veterans.
Mr, Bui-yes, dem. (Tex.), taking the
policy of "utand pat" for his text, denied
that any measure of prosperity Is due to
the republican policy. Ha denied that pro
tection had helped the wages of labor. He
understood tho expression "stand pat" to
have come from the senator from Ohio, to
whom he referred as the greatest player of
American politics, but said he might now
be termed "the surppressed possible presi
dent." He said the "stand pat" hand had
been turned over to the New York men to
play. After tho election, he said, the hand
would be called and the democrats would
demand to see all the cards.
When . Mr. Burgess had concluded the
committee rose and the pension bill waa
passed without division.

President Roosevelt entertained at lunch
eon today former Governor Crane and Sec
retary Cortelyou and Benator Lodge. The
fact that Governor Crane was at the
luncheon. In addition to being Invited
to the president's cabinet dinner to
night, caused considerable comment.
It has been known for many '. months
that it Is the desire of the president
that Governor Crane should be identified
In some Intimate capacity with the presi
dential campaign. It has been suggested
that ha might be the chairman of the re
publican national committee In the event
of Senator Hanna's refusal to again fill the
place. It la said, however, that this sub
ject was not discussed at the luncheon
today. Mr. Hanna has been requested by
President Roosevelt to retain the position
until he shall have determined definitely
whether or not he will retain It, In any
event, It is understood Governor Crane
will fill an important place 'In the cam
paign management next year.
Black May Saeceed ' Proctor. '
The president has tendered the position
of civil service commissioner made vacant
by the death of John R. Proctor to Gen.
eral John C. Black of Chicago. General

ers and to all persona who had observed the
fata of the canal treaty In the Colombian
congress. He-said:
No agent was sent to the president and
no agent was sent to Panama, which had A
right to go Into rebellion. . Weeks before It
eclared Its Independence It became known
that It would take that Step. .
"The administration at Washington." he
aid, "was not unmindful of, the situation
nd the president took, the steps Indicated,
nd Senator, Hoar derived such conclu-
lons." r - , .', v
Mr. Hoar was on his, feet again and In
terrupted: "I distinctly said that I had no
crltklsm to mak$ tn that subject and that
the little matte of time could not be at all
effected by th time we took In the civil
war. I not only, disclaim all that the sena
tor attributes to wis. .but made what was
the strongest argument I could think to
show that so far as I waa concerned that
there was no criticism whatever."
I am glad the senator has reconsidered
and hss concluded to Interrupt me again,"
remarket Mr.' Foraker, amid the laughter
f senators. v.
I mads no such statement," declared Mr.
Hcsr. ,
Mr. Foraker Then I hope you will make
It and stick to it. i '
Foraker Loses Ilia riaee.
Mr. Hoar The senator Is " always de
lighted to have me Interrupt, him. That is
the only way the' senator has to get the
better of his adversaries, , remarked the
senator. ,''.-
"Yes, Interrupted by him," said Senator
Foraker. "I will proceed If the senator will
say where I was."
"I will tell him," said Mr. Hoar, with a
smile. "He w&s .misstating one of my
propositions.,
Well," retorted Mr. Foraker; amid gen
eral laughter, "that does not help me any.
He has made so many of them I -don't
know which one It was."
Mr. , Foraker concluded by saying that
there was no real ground for criticism of
the course of the administration in the
Panama matter, Mhat even the democrats
might take advantage of. He deplored the
discussion of the -matter In the open senate,
however.
Mr. Mitchell then made a speech In advo
cacy of the bill, and referred to the Lewis
and Clark exposition at Portland, Ore.
The following bills were passed: Author.
ixing a change of conditlona of the sale of
lands In the Fort Hall Indian reservation
in Idaho; repealing the law prohibiting the
employment of persons over 46 years of

land to strengthen the party and secure

When Mr. Gorman had concluded Mr.
Foraker began a severe arraignment of Mr,
Hoar's position, saying that when he read
the newspaper accounts of the democ ratio
caucus which agreed that caucus action
should be binding, he knew that there
would, be trouble; that the democrats would
vote as a unit 'on every matter except when
the vote Interfered with individual con
science.
Hoar garprises Foraker.
Mr. Foraker said he had felt no great
surprise when the attack on the president
had been made on the democrat lo side of
the chamber, but that he had been shocked
when the senator . from Massachusetts
made the character of speech he did, and
thought the country would be equally sur
prised. He said Mr. Hoar's speech should
have been made In executive session, If
at ail. " ,
Mr, Foraker declared that an attack had
been made, not on the president alone, but
on the country, and at a time when the
eyes of the world were on us. "I havs no
doubt," said Mr. Foraker, "that the preal
dent acted with loftiest of motives and the
highest of Ideals when he took the action
he did In reference to the Republic of
Panama."
Mr. Foraker said he could think of no
action on the part of the president calling
for such remarks as those made by Sen
ator Hoar.
Mr. Hoar, Interrupting, said: "Tha aen-
ator from Ohio either wholly misunder
stands what I said or willfully perverts
my meaning," . . ,,...... i
After a little further debate Mr. Hoar
obtained the floor. .
Haar aa Farakar Clash.
My point Is this." said he. "I say the
president has said te the public, and not to
the senate, that he disclaims certain con
duct as unworthy of him. and I called at
tention to the fact, that the documents
which he sent in failed to make that clear,
by not distinctly claiming that he or the
administration bad notice of that revolu
tion, or that our forces had prevented the
lawful government from anticipating that
outbreak;- that I bellaved from my knowl
edge of the president that his statement was
actualy true, and therefore I asked him to
supply the lacking Information by stating
on what ground the administration pro
ceeded In takinar the ateD. That la alL and
I I do not propose after thirty-four years of
service within these walls to trouble myself
to contradict again an Imputation to me ot
any other meaning or indirectness or arti
fice on my part If the senator from Ohio
chooses to charge me with It, of course I
lar-uot help It. He will do his duty."
"1 am delighted." retorted Mr. Foraker,
"that the senator from Maaaachuaetts is not
afraid of anybody. I do not know of any
reason why he ahould be afraid of any
body. . He mad a speech. I sm undertak
