WASHINGTON. Jan. 16. 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

WASHINGTON. 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.

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

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

Mr. Field's condition showed marked im
provement early tonight. 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. James,
Janeway and Billings:
Mr. Fields' condition remains practically
unchanged since the 4 o'clock bulletin.
