Chairman Payne of the house war and meant com mute announced tonight that he was con fident that the Philippine t art ft Mil will pass without amendment when put to a rote. He said he waa unwilling to accept the amendment propoaed by the beet sugar men and declared It would be' better for the bill to be defeated than passed In such I form that the amount of sugar permitted ! to come to the United States annually at reduced rate would be limited to a definite amount. In the opinion of Mr. Payne such limitation would defeat the purpose of the measure. Several conferences were held today between republican leaders of the two factions, but the administration faction refused to accept any of the compromise amendments submitted by the "insurgents," although they were carefully considered. The "stalwarts." who were reported to be lined up firmly with the administration two weeks ago, are now said to be showing WILL FAVOR A LUCK CANAL fmideot Is Fraparinf 8peoiat Hectare to Gongnu on Tbii Subject.

Jan. 15 President l.oose velt Is preparing to .send to congress a message which will favor a lock canal. He had conference today with suveral senate members of the lntor-oceanlo canal committee, including Senators Lodge, Dry dtn, Hopkins and Ankeny. The committee has in Its possession an advance copy of the report furnished by the president for use In examining Chief Engineer b.ovens when he appears before the committee to morrow at the opening of the investiga tion ordered by the senate. This report ills trlcts. Early In the session It was an nounced that the entire Nebraska delega tion would Btand by the administration measure. Two members have weakened al ready and others are said to be wavering nd Inclined to favor an amended bill. The beet sugar Interests of the state are re. ponsible for this change of view, and a number of other representatives from mid dle western state arc .said to be yielding to home Influences. On the other hand. there are several representatives from sugar beet districts who, tike Rrprtstnta tlve Cooper of Wisconsin, announce they will vote for the bill as it now stands and are confident that a full explanation of Philippine conditions will persuade their constituents that no harm will result to home grown sugar from the small amount of Philippine sugar which will come here under reduced tariff rates.

Judge Sut ton of tho district court decided Monday Afternoon that the Clvlu Federation was entitled to the transcripts of all testimony, whether oral r written, and that without cost.

The hoard room jnf the Fire and Police Coiwnlsslonrr whs crowded at the meet Ins of th board last night In anticipation of the trial of saloon keepers for violating the Sunday' closing law. But disappoint ment was the lot of the visitors, for no sooner did the matter come up than it was decided to postpone the hearings until a later dete, Elmer B. "homss, represent ing the "tlvlc federation, said that, while he waa ready to proceed Immediately, he would rather wait until after his cases are through the police court, where they are due January 8. The members ef the board rrrmed to favor postponement, and Mr. Thomas suggested January 9, the last meeting of the board in January. But it was argued that routine business Is al waya heavy the last of each month, where upon the first meeting In February, which falls on the HQ, waa decided on to hear tho cases against the saloon men. A communication to the(nonrd from As- slant Probation Officer O. R- Bathbun waa read In which the officer reported on the matter of lUttior being sold to minors. He said that, following instructions, he had watched the salcon of M. J. McMahon, KHil Cns street, and on the afternoon of a certain day sea- a a-year-old girl enter the pis re with a pall and emerge with it full Of beer. He said that he then took rutins to secure proper evidence to lay liefor vthe board when called for. The matter waa referred to the chief. . A communication was read from the Omaha Women's Chrlstisn Temperance urdon dealing With the matter of better conditions for women prisoners at the city Jail. It was asked that a night matron be provided and cvt.Vn sanitary and other improvements made. The aecretary was In structed to write a reply ststlng that the Improvements satrgested are under way, and that the mailer of night matron will be taken up. The board then proceeded to the open their amendments made since, and to which General Davis Is now getting their endorse ment. The message of the president will favor the construction of a lock canal, on the ground that It is In the Interest of the present generation and not for poa- e Urlty, and that It can be built at less cost - l of time and moner. It Is said the tr-sldent incidentally asked the republican members of the committee to support the nomina tion of Joseph B. Bishop to be a member of the canal commission and to use every effort to prevent indiscriminate reductions of the salaries of canal officials, which no fears may be the result of the Investiga tion.

The Southern Pacific Railway company confols the Pacific Mall Steamship com pany, according to the statements of the secretary of war and Mr. Stevens, who say thHt since the abrogation of the freight agreement between the Panama railroad and the steamship company th latter has Imcn dilatory In calling for San Francisco freight on the west side of the isthmus. It is charged that steamers frequently refuse to stop to take on freight and even leave port with only a partial cargo while great quantities of freight He on the wharves. It was alleged that the apparent motive for this course on the rirt of the steamship company was to hlmlTr materials Intended for the canal delivered at Colon by the steamships operated by the government from New York, so that shipments would be necessary over the lines of the Pacific Mall from San Francisco.

The rally which he experienced between ! and 2 o'clock in the afternoon continued five hour after It began, and so noticeably had Mr. Field Improved at the end of this period that those watching at his bedside began to hope for recovery. One of his three physi cians, wIk) earlier in toe day had announced to those at Mr. Field's bedside that prac tically all hope of. saving his life must be abandoned, said tonight that he believed Mr. Field had a chance of recovery. Dur ing the tally Mr. Field waa perfectly con scious, it Was stated by those who had been with him, and was better than he had been at any time during the preceding twenty-four hours. ' , During the earlier part of the day the patient's condition tu considered so grave that a forecast of tha weather conditions tonight and tomorrow was asked for by his physicians In the hope . tiiat a change from the exceeding dampness of the last two days would be a factor in his favor. His strength was very riw, but he seemed to indicate a determination to fight the disease to the very last. Although the area of congestion was still confined to one lung early tonight, the long strain had made great Inroads upon Mr. Field's strength and heart stimulants were freely administered. , - The following bulletin regarding the con dition of Marshall Field waa Issued at the Holland house at 11 o'clock by Drs.
