CABHINTrON, March 28 The house
to4ay began conalderatlon of the sundry
tnvlt appropriation bill. Ten hours were
ax?d fur general debate on the measure,
but at the end of an hour and a half there
were no speakers ready to continue and the
house adjourned for lack of talkers.
In ' his statement ,on the sill, Chairman
Hemenway of the appropriations committee
and Mr. Benton (dem.). filed statements on
thJ bill. Mr. J lemon way summed up the
flscsl conditions for the next fiscal year,
showing that after all legitimate expenses
, hal been paid there would be 122,000,000
surplus for the year.
Mr. Hemenway estimated the annual ex
; penses for 190S to be $W7,1W2,S;!4, to this sum
- must he added the Interest on the public
-debt, estimated at $84,171,820. The revenues
. for the year, ho said, were estimated at
t 704,472,HO. The total estimates of the de-
' partment for the expenses of the govern-
' ment. for 1S06 aggregate 1747,317,922, or an
exerts of $42,848,862 over the revenues.
i By scaling down the estimates and omit
; ting to pass a river and harbor and public
" buildings appropriations bills the expendl
t tures had benn reduced I22.O00.00O less than
' the estimated revenues. This estimate, Mr.
; Hemenway s;ild, contemplated all reason-
able additions that might be made by the
' senate to the several appropriation bllii
and was also sufficient to cover all legit!
mate deficiencies that might be provided
for the next session.
Mr. Benton complimented the republicans
on, the bill, saying that It was altogether
the best republican bill he had seen come
from the committee In years. It, however,
did not meet with his approval from a
democratic! standpoint.
A number of minor bills were passed by
unanimous consent and special orders were
made for the consideration of pension hills
which had the right-of-way today. After
the sundry civil bill has been disposed of
the omnibus claims bill will follow pen
slons as a special order,
Iowa Bill Pauses.
A bill was passed authorising the Daven
port Water Power company of Iowa to
construct a canal along the bank of the
Mississippi river in Scott county, Iowa. The
sundry -clvlf appropriation bill was U.en
taken up.,
Mr. Meiers (Ind.), referrfhg to the re
cent order of Pension Commissioner Ware,
granting pensions to soldiers of 63 years
and over, said that he had wslud for
several days for some member of the
majority to make an explanation to the ef
fect of the order, but none had teen made
and he had to do so himself. In estimating
what it would cost to place the order In
effect, Mr. Meiers divided the soldiers Into
three pensionable classes. Those who are
.'.not receiving any pensions; those who are
receiving pensions under the service pen
Ion act, and those receiving pensions un
der-The general pension law.
rO( the first class, ha snld, there were, nc
i cording to the best estimates, between ISO,-
400 and 300,000, subdivided Into classes ac
I cording to age, 78 per cent being C and en

TALK OF AMENDING TRUST LAW
Merger Derlsloa Caaaes grantors to

Railroad Systems.
(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
WASHINGTON, Mnrch 28 NeW York
Herald Service Special tQ The Bee.) What
Mr. C. P. Beach has to say on the merger
decision has caused much discussion In the
senate. Mr. Beach's suggestion that the
Foraker Amendment, providing the courts
with power to pass on the "reasonable
ness" of restraint of trade, was the proper
solution In the matter, was discussed In
such a manner as to reveal the fact that
the senate leaders are now laboring under
the conviction that the merger decision In
dicates the necessity of some legislation
modifying the anti-trust law, at least as It
applies to railroads. The only question Is
how far to go.
The foraker bill Is said to have been
Introduced at the time It was so that It
could come In before the merger decision,
and therefore escape tho charge of being a
measure brought to relieve those who were
"put In the hole" by the supreme court of
the United States decree.
It Is the opinion of many of the leading
senators that legislation, such as proposed
by the Foraker bill, must be passed to pre
vent all the railroads of the nation being
ultimately controlled by two or three sys
tems. Agreements among railroads as to
operating In a substantial division of terrl
tory. It Is asserted, Is necessary to the
proper conduct of great systems of ths
present day.
TARIFF RULING MAKES TALK
Secretary Shaw May Hot ApproTO De
cision of Appraisers In Hew
York Case.
f
(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
WASHINGTON. Mnrch 26. (New. York
Herald Service Special to The Bee.) A
further discussion of the tariff law and the
treasury regulations based on It will prob
ably follow the opinion of Mr. Somerville,
handed down from the general appraisers'
bench in New York last wtck, declaring
dutiable some of the personal belongings
of A. Obendorf within the $100 limit, be
cause they were presents.
The decisions of Secretary Shaw In pre
vious cases brought before him have
pointed In the opposite direction. All his
efforts have been aimed at liberalising the
operation of the personal belongings ex
emptlon ns far as the actual terms of the
law would permit. It seems unlikely that
he would pay any attention to an opinion
of the general appraisers if he regarded' It
as In conflict with the broader principles
laid down by the circuit court.

RIENDS OF THE BILL HAYE LAST WORD
Opponents Present Stroaar Argament
Agalast Measnre, Which They
Regard Too StrlBgrent, and
Gompers Favors BUI.
WASHINGTON, March 24 Hearings on
the eight-hour bill, which have been pro
ceeding before the house committee on la
bor for six weeks, closed today, both .sides
to tho controversy txtng heard and the
friends of the bill having the last word.
Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport, Conn.,
representing the Anti-Boycott association,
began the argument against the bill. ' He
maintained that, taken In connection with
the law of 1392 Uniting work in govern
ment navy yards to eight hours, the pend
ing bill. If passed, would be an Infringe
ment of the personal rights of contractors
and therefore unconstitutional.
Under ythe former law, Mr. Davenport
said, a contractor violating the proposed
Ight-hour law would be subject to a fine
of 11,000 and Imprisonment for six months;
the subcontractor would be subject to the
same penalty. Then under the proposed
law this said contractor would be subject
to a fine of $8 a day for each man In his
employment should he operate his plant
one minute over eight hours. , The law.
he said, would apply to the construction
of the Panama canal, all river and harbor
Improvements and all publlo buildings.
Believe Too Stringent.
James L. Hayden of Washington, repre
senting the Carnegie Steel company, closed
for the opponents of the bill. He com
pared the contrscts for government ves
sels with contracts with a tailor for a
suit of clothes. Both, he declared, re
mained the property of the contractor un
til delivered. He asked who was to . say
where the operation of the measure be
gins and where It ends. He said he believed
It would apply to all goods manufactured
for the government which, If not delivered,
would find sale In the open market.
Those favoring tho bill were given from
11 O'clock until 1:15 p. m. to close the hear
ing. Samuel Gompers took up the argu
ment, saying that many of the contentions
by the opposition had foundation In fact.
Among the truisms which he accepted
was the statement that the purpose of the
bill was to influence the Industries of the
country to come to the eight-hour basis
at the earliest day possible.
Mr. Gompers confined himself largely to
statements that had been made by oppon
ents of the bill and endeavored to show
the other side of the question. Vie was
asked If he deemed the law constitutional.
Constitution Always Questioned.
"We assert It," he said, "we have con
sulted some bf the beat lawyers Jn the
country and they have assured us on this
subject." Mr. Gompers reviewed the main
disputes labor has had with capital and
said the worklngmen never had made a
move that the constitution was not brought
up. .......
Referring to the frequent statements
from representstlves of manufacturers that
they want no special favors but "do want
to be let alone," Mr. Gompers said this
was true when they were engaged In
grinding labor, but that when they were
asking for subsidies ' snd special legisla
tion they did not want to be let alone.
In closing Mr. Gompers said he felt com-
Delled to answer the Imputation of op
ponents of the bill that the bill did not
meet the Wishes of. the laboring men ana
that the champions of the bill were not
representative of the laboring class.,
The committee adjourned subject to can.

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOU
W. M. Gtller of this chy, supreme repre
sentative of the grand council, Royal Ar
canum of Nebraska, accompanied by Su
preme Regent A. S. Robinson of the same
order, represented the Royal Arcanum In
an argument before State Auditor Weston
and the state Insurance department at Lin
coln Friday on the protest of W. B. Price
against allowing fraternal Insurance com
panies from Massachusetts, Vermont and
New Hampshire doing business In this
state, and protesting against the rellcens
Ing of the Royal Arcanum to do business
In Nebraska. The contention of Mr. Price
was that the legislature of Massachusetts
In lfol enacted a law whoreby all fraternal
Insurance companies that sought to do
business In that state after that date should
charge the same rates as fixed by the
fraternal congress, which, he held, worked
a hardship, for the reason that many com
panies already doing business In that state
were not affected and charged a less rate
than fixed by the fraternal congress, there
fore It was Impossible for other companies
to enter the state. The protest was filed
on February 11, under section t of the
Nebraska Insurance laws. Under this sec
tion, he maintained that the Massachusetts
and other New England oompanles should
be prohibited from doing business In Ne
braska. .
Mr.- Oilier argued for the Massachusetts
companies, taking the Issue that the sec
tion mentioned did not refer to fraternal
insurance companies, and In support of his
argument quoted section M of the Nebraska
Insurance laws, which provides that "such
societies (beneficiary fraternal) shall be
governed by this act and shall be exempt
from the provisions of the statutes relating
to life insurance companies, except as here
inafter provided, and no law hereafter
passed shall apply to them unless they be
expressly designated therein."
The matter has been taken under advise
ment by Auditor Weston. The Royal Ar
canum has a large membership in this state
and has been doing business In Nebraska
for nearly twenty-five years.

COMBINE FOUR TERRITORIES INTO TWO
Indian Territory Julneil to OkUtkesM
and New Mexico to Arlsoat evjr
Measure Now Iniltr
Conalderatlon.
WASHINGTON, March K. The states
of "Oklahoma" and Arlxono." are treated
In a bill which has been completed by the
republican members of the euboommlttea
of the house committee on territories. The
democratic members of tile subcommittee
have been placed In possession of the bill
and after they have considered It for a
few days a meeting of the full suoocin
nit I tee will be lie-Id. The two states men
tioned are ompoecd of Oklahoma and la
dlan Territory as "Oklahoma" and ArUon
and New Mexioo as "Arlsona." The ad
mission of the latter two territories Is
not delayed by any restrictions of lw, but
may be effected as soon as a oonveuttou
can be called to form a state constitution.
The bill provides, however, that Okla
homa and the Indian Territory shall not
be admitted as a state until the year 1906.
By this time the Indian lands will have
been alloted. The problem of providing
proper revenues for schools, growing out
of the fact that the Indian lands of Okla
homa and Indian Territory have been al
loted In severalty to the Indians under a
law which makes them nontaxabe, has
been mut by a provision for an appropria
tion of fC,UuO,u0o out of the treasury. This
money Is to be used to establish and main
tain schools. The principal of the fund
may be used to the extent necessary, tho
balance being placed on deposit at I per
cent Interest to the credit of the state
for the maintenance of the schools estab
lished. The state conntltutions to be formed
under the bill must contain an absolute
prohibition of polygamy. Suffragists can
not be restricted except for Ignorance, Im
becility, age and sex. This will not pro
hibit woman suffrage If the constitution
to be adopted shall so provide. Negru
suffrage cannot he restricted as such.
