THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, FEBBUABY 10, 1905. DEFICIENCY BILL IS PASSED Senate Approres i enure u Reported by the Committee. SHARP DEBATE OVIR CANAL SECTION lrevlsln Abrogating Elght-Hn Uw lithmii Is Allowed to Stand After Long Dlacnaalon. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. Almost the en tire session of the senate today waa de voted to the consideration of the urgent deficiency bill, which was passed practically as It was reported from the committee on appropriations. The only discussion In con nettlon with the bill was over an amend ment suggested by Mr. Patterson to strike out the provision relieving alien workmen on the canal from the operations of the eiglit-hnur law. Mr. Patterson contended that to require men to labor more than eight hours a day In the tropics was In human and srgued that the requirement would do injustice to American labor. Sev eral senators on both sides of the chamber l!ontfoverted the position. " Would Amend Statehood Hill. At the beginning of today's session of the senate Mr. Foraker presented an amend ment to the statehood bill, directing the method of preceding In Arlaona and New Mexico on the question of admission. It di rects thst within thirty days after the ap proval of the statehood bill the governors of the two territories shall respectively call elections for submitting the question of statehood. Voters of the two proposed states shall vote separately and the union shall not be consummated unless a majority of tho rotes In each territory are cast In the affirmative. The urgent deficiency appropriation bill was laid before the senate and read at length. Mr. Patterson moved to strike out of the deficiency bill the provision abrogat ing the eight-hour law on the canal son. He argued that the provision was adverse to Americans as well as aliens. Mr. Money opposed the Patterson amend ment. "What It all means In plaln.brutal Eng lish Is that there Is being prepared on the Isthmus a slaughter house for aliens and that the canal Is to be built at a fearful cost not only of money but of life," re sponded Mr. Patterson In persisting In pressing the amendment upon the senate. Mr. Oalllnger called attention to the state ment of the canal officials that sanitary conditions on the Isthmus were much Im proved, and Mr. Patterson replied that these statements did not correspond with the testimony given by senators. Tillman Replies to Patterson. Mr. Tillman also took Issue with Mr. Patterson, saying that "when the Colorado senator makes an appeal for alien labor he would better look a little closer home and consider the American laborer, who In the end must pay for building the canal." He made an appeal for a com mon sense course In dealing with the canal and for the exclusion of can't from the consideration of the question. Mr. Patterson withdrew the amendment ha had offered and offered another fixing the limit of a day's labor on canal work at t,en hours Instead of eight. The amendment waa lost. Mr. Tillman expressed dissatisfaction with the relation ship between the canal commission and the Panama Railroad company and said be hoped the canal committee would find means pf unifying the canal and the road. .Mr. Hale agreed with the statement made by Mr. Tillman as to the desirability of tdolng away with the dual arrangement. The bill was then passed and at 3:08 p. m. the senate went Into executive session and adjourned at 8:15 p. m. until Monday. Is raised to the point which does away with the discrimination against American goods. Low grade and children's shoes are placed In a lower class, making the tariff less, as Mr. Payne stated, to secure the wearing of shoes In the Island. No one wished to debate the bill, which, was passed without objection. At 1:31 o'clock the house adjourned until Monday. PENSION DAY IN TUB 1IOU9E roar Hundred and Twenty-lf lne Bills Taased In Seventy-Two Minnies. WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. The house to day ground out Its usual semi-monthly grist of private pensions, passing in seventy-two minutes 429 bills for the benefit of veterans who are barred for one reason or another from coming In under the general statute. Sever.ty-flve per cent of the bene. flclarles are either blind or bed-ridden. This order, with a numoer of minor kills and the passage of two amendments to the Philippine tariff act of 19JS, constituted the transactions of the day. The tariff amendments place American cotton goods on an equality so far as the cost of pro duction Is concerned with European goods. Ijow grades of shoes were admitted 'at a lower tariff. The house adjourned until Monday. Pension leglslntlon had the right-of-way In the house today. The calendar contained ( X senate bills. 191 house bills and one cor reetlng a military record. Seventy-five per cent of these Mils are for the benefit of persons either blind or bedridden. Before taking up the pension Mi's the bouse voted to ndloum until Monday at the close of today's session. It also paused bills as follows: For the removal of te rountv sent f WeeMta ooiintv. Oklahoma, from Olnud Chief to K- Cordell A'lthoHrln the secretrv of trr to ee er a bnfHlo Tiaotnre eeres of land 'n Ptnlev county, Booth raVot". A bill to amend the Philippine tariff act was called up by Mr. Payne (N. Y.). chair man of the ways and means comm. t tee. He explained that the bill related to cotton goods and shoes. The cotton manufacturers In this coun try, he said, make goods twenty-two Inches wide. European manufacturers weave In double this width and then cut the strip In the center, thus saving half the cost. These goods are known In the trade as "false selvage'' goods, on which the rate MAGOO BErDRfl THE COMMITTEE Governor of Canal Zone Says Con ditions Are Improving. WASHINGTON, Feb. I. Charles E. Ma goon, governor of the Panama canal sone, was before the senate committee on ln teroceanlc canals today and gave his testi mony In connection with the Investigation of the canal wnr. In response to a request from Chairman Millard, Governor Magoon outlined condi tions on the Isthmus when he was as signed to duty there last spring. . He had, he said, found an excellent organization for the government tone, but that the men there were much overworked and very anxious over the effects of the reorganiza tion. No removals were adopted. The sanitary force was also wtll organized and it had done and is now doing excellent work;. The government had been especially fortunate in securing In. that force a num ber of army men who had been engaged In the sanitation of Cuba. Governor Magoon contended that fever conditions In Panama are better than formerly. Under examination by Senator Morgan th question was raised whether the courts, a constituted by the Isthmian Canal commission, could deny to an Amer ican citizen his Inherent right to trial by Jury when charged with a capital offense. Judge Mngoon said that presented a serious question. In a general discussion nf th nitit Senator Knox said he should not lik in decide what the ruling of the United States supreme court would be in this matter. Jury trials are not had In the canal zone, nor In the Philippines, and in the latter me supreme court had upheld the system as arplied to the trial of a native Filipino. Senator Knox suid he could not say what the difference would be If an American, going to possessions of the United States, were tried and convicted In like manner. a recess was then taken. At the afternoon session Judo-a continued his explanation of the govern ment of the canal zone. He said that the apparent 40 per cent profit mado by this government through the purchase and use of Panama stamps surcharged "canal zone" wouia not pay the cost of the postal service In the zone. He testified at length con cerning land titles in the inna an oaM legislation would be necessary to adjust many or mem. About half of the lands there are claimed bv nrlvutn nanio. n explanation given by Governor Magoon of tne interest the United States had In es tablishing the Panama currency was that the use of American money doubled the price of everything, as the people wanted as many silver dollars worth 100 cents as they had received pesos worth so cunit tn- articles sold. Discussing the necessity for the coinage system, and the agreement to maintain parity, and the .associated banks' agree ment to supply silver to tho commission, Governor Magoon said that the new cur rency became so popular that it was al most Immediately absorbed by commerce. Senator Morgan ajsked if the United States ehould not establish a subtreasury on the Isthmus to aggregate the necessary silver. Governor Magoon replied that that could be done, but that as rapidly as the silver waa shipped to the treasury and paid out It would disappear and never come back: that the people liked the money because It was stable and It drove out all other cir culating mediums. "That la about the most logical free silver 'plan exploited since Mr. Cleveland" began Senator Mor gan. He had meant to say Mr. Bryan, but after a pause be completed his observation as he began and repeated, "since Mr. Cleveland disappeared." The examination of Governor Magoon will be resumed Mon day. ' PHILLIPS AND JOHNSON TRIAL limber Cutting; on Blackbird Island Xest Case on Federal Court Docket. The next case to come to trial before Judge Munger In the United States district court will be that of the United States against George F. Phillips and William I Johnson, who are under Indictment for cutting timber on public lands on Blackbird Island. The Island is a part of the Omaha Indian reservation and was filed upon by Phillips and Johnson through an Iowa land office under the presumption that the island was open for public entry. The parties at once began to cut a lot of valu able timber from the land, against which the Omaha Indians protested, as they held the Island was a part of their reservation. The island was resurveyed and It waa found the contention of the Indians was correct and the entries of Phillips and Johnson were cancelled. Suit was there upon brought against Phillips and Johnson for trespass and illegally cutting Umber on government land. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE Eniiceis it Winter Apparel and Tnel Simulated by Colder Weather. B.G INCREASE IN RAILWAY EARNINGS Nearly templet Reports for January Sbow Cain t 16. Per Cent Over Year Ago. NEW TORK, Feb. 9.-R. O. Dun Co.'a weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Distribution of heavyweight wearing ap parel, fuel and other seasonable inerchan di.se expanded rapidly In rt-nponse to the more normal temperature, but the week's business has not depleted the accumulation of last month, and retail slocks of tuess goods are sthl burdensome. Heports are much more satisfactory, however, and an Impetus has been given wholesale trade in spring dry goods and other forward busi ness depending upon conlidence In con tinued national prosperity. Jobbing re turns and manufacturing statements Indi cate little Idle capacity, the luudtng in dustrial plants having added to tnelr al ready heavy contracts on hand. Mercan tile collections are prompt as a rule, al though some extensions aie asked. Com modity prices are fairly steady, no im portant variations ' occurring during the lost week. The only adverse development of the week was the less pacific news from the coal fields, although a strike may be prevented by agreement any time btiore April 1. Reports of railway earnings for January, now fairly complete, show an Increase of 16.6 per cent over last year's figures, whlie foreign commerce at this port for the last week made a most strik ingly favorable comparison with the same period In 1106, ' exports gaining 0,oStO,6So; while imports increased $iii6,WJ. Iaus urgency to place orders for Iron and steel products during the last week is a satisfactory development, because It testifies to the absence of speculative oper ations that might easily produce unwhole 8ome inflation of prices. Yet the last week was by no means devoid of new in quiries, particularly In regard to the structural steel for lake vessels and manu facturing plants. Seasonably poor quality of hides has weakened the tone of the maiket, the only firm department being packer branded hides for sole leather. New business In boots and shoes Is quiet. Failures this week number 229 in the United IStates against 2n6 lust year and 23 in Canada with .7 a year ago. REPORT OF THE CLEARING IIOISE Transactions of the Associated Banks for the Week.

Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Reports as to spring JohblnR trade are of a vtry favorable character and more sea sonable weather has stimulated some lines cf retail trade. Shipments of finished products of nianufacture are of enormous volume nnd mills are still pushed to till ordeis previously booked. Railroad earnings returns Indicate that January was the most active ever experi enced by the companies, gross receipts showing a gain of 20 per cent over last year, a very active period likewise. Re ports ns to winter wheat are satisfactory as a whole. Against these favorable fea tures are to be cited the disquieting In fluences of predictions and preparations for a general coal strike, possibly involving 6' 10,000 men. It Is also to be noted that the mild weather has caused an accumulation of retail stocks of heavy clothing, shoes and kindred products and eliminated re order business from Jobbing hands, though western reports speak of possible earrlcd over stocks being quite well reduced, con sidering weather conditions. -That buyers are disposed to buy conservatively for fall Is reported In the lines affected, notably tnen's wear, woolens and shoes. Money Is easy and collections range from only fair to good, accordingly as the sec tion of the country Is considered. Price movements of leading staples are generally toward ease and eume recessions, as for Instance, pig Iron, develop new business. Detailed telegrams to Bradstreet's report a generally active appearance to all lines of spring Jobbing trade. The northwest, central west, the south and the east all Rive testimony to confidence In buying lor the nearby season. Cottons, silk and dress woolens are all active, but men's wear woolens for fall delivery lag. The cold v is said to have come too late to help the fur trad. Raw wool is active on manufacturers' buylnx and prices are firmer. Lower raw cotton prices have not yet affected the goods market, which Is strong. 8ome revival In export trade with China Is Indicated.

Dates for Track Meet. IOWA CITY. Feb. 9. (Special.) Two dates are being considered for the coming F.W HARNESS RACIM4 RVI.15S Stewards of Incorporated Track Cir cuit to Have Control of Contest. CHICAGO. Feb. 9.-A satisfactory ad justment was reached on sll queatlons un der discussion by the Grand Circuit Trot ting Tracus and the American National Trotting association at the rules commit tee meeting here today. As a result ot tne final negotiations there will be vresented at the congress of the National Trotting Rssoclatlon to be held In New York next week a rule which reads as follows: "Any circuit of five or more tracks be longing to either the American or National associations may, after Incorporation, haw the authority to appoint racing stewards, who shall have full power over the ruclna at the tracks of tiio circuit. The names ol tnese stewards shall be submitted to the presidents of the American and National associations, and if the nominations aro agreed to by both the parent associations tney will constitute a governing body for the circuit by which they are named; act ing Jointly for the tracks and the parent associations and their decisions shall be binding until the close of racing on the circuit for which they act." Another matter of which the conference took notice is the making of the time tecords by trotters and pacers. At present the rules governing trials against Mm are not observed in spirit by soni of the tracks where trials are made. A new rule was formulated which provide, amoug other thlnas. that not only must the meet ings at which time trials take place be in every respect bona fide, but also that the events aside from the time trials mak ing up each day's program must be real contests In which every horse tries all the time. , A stop nlso Is to)e put to tne practice of having three colts making up a so-called race arranged for the purpose of giving each animal a mark about a fast as it can go. During the conference here the P.eglster association held Its anntial meeting and elected tilflcers for the ensuing year.
