This Measure is Passed, the Opposi

THE HOUSE AT ODDS OVER THE ARMY BILL
Houss Lays on Table Resolution Calling on Root
For His Reason For Dismissing Rebecca
Taylor. Three Republicans Vote
With Democrats.
. (By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 16.—After a discus
sion extending over parts of several days
the Senate today passed what is nopu
iarly known as the London Dock Charges
Bill. The opposition to the measure prac
tically collapsed and it was passed with
out division.
Consideration was then continued of
the Isthmian Canal project, Mr. Cu-llcm
(Ills.), and Mr. Kittredge (S. DA, deliv
ering speeches in advocacy of the Panama
route. The former based his argument
principally upon the report of the Isth
mian Commission recommending that
route, asserting that he was satisfied that
a good title to the property could be
IdainecT. Mr. Kittredge net only strongly
favored the Panama route, which in his
judgment was much the better, but also
ntta ked the Nicaragua plan as lacking in
definiteness. He pointed out that Costa
Rica was constitutionally unable to grant
the necessary concessions to the United
States and if the Nicaragua route v-cre
selected is probably would be a long time
before work could be begun, even if it
eve r could be. The speeches of both
Senators wore accorded close attention
by the Senate.
Just before adjournment a spirited dis
cussion was precipitated over a motion
by Mr. Proctor, of Vermont, to agree to
a conference with the House on the Army
Appropriation Bill. Several weeks ago the
Senate was affronted by a message from
tie House refusing to submit to confer
ence certain Senate amendments to the
bill. The opposition to Mr. Proctor's mo
tion was so vigorous that finally ho was
forced to withdraw it for the present.
Mr. \llison made a conciliatory speech
in whi h he urged that Mr. Proctor had
n ale Ills motion with the idea of facili
trtlrg public busino: c The question of
the \onor of the Senate was not directly
invv red. although the motion, in a sense,
di 1 v itend the olive branch to the House.
"Instead of extending the olive
branch." exclaimed ?.Ir. Tillman, “it is
running up the white flag. If the Senate
v.as wrong in appointing the special con
ference '■ommittec to insist upon its
rights why not say so? Why dodge the
question in this way?”
Mr. Tillman raid the adoption of the
amendment would remove the "hone of
contention." “If that,” said he, “is not
an Ignominious surrender, I don’t know'
what it *s.”
Aft r some further discussion the mo
tion was withdrawn.
Mv Cullom said in the course of his
remark ; on the canal question:
“We are called upon to select between
: route 183 miles long and one 10 miles
long; between a route costing $189,000,000
and one costing $184,000,000; between a
l cute which will annually cost $3,300,000
to operate and maintain and one that
will cost but $2,000,000 to operate and
maintain; between a route that will take
but 12 hours to navigate and one that
will take 33 hours; between a route that
has been a highway of commerce for 400
years and one that has never been used;
between a route the entire length of which
there is now in operation a railroad
worth ;even million dollars aud a route
with no transportation facilities. For
all these reasons the Panama route should
he selected.”
At the conclusion of Mr. Oullom’s
speech the Senate agreed to a conference
on tlm Naval Appropriation Bill and
Messrs. Hale. Perkins and Tillman were
named as conferees.
Mr. Kittredge (S. D.), then spoke in
advocacy of the Panama route.
In answer to an inquiry of Mr. Clay,
Mr. Ki**r»dge said the minority of canal
committee had recommended the Nica
ragua '•outc as an alternative proposition,
assuming es course that a firm and stable
legal foundation for the government’s
work could be obtained.
The South Dakota Senator pointed out
that at Panama the United States by the
acquisition of the Panama Canal Com
peny’s rights and property would ob
tain all the lands required for the canal
xvh 1 > at Nicaragua this government
would have to buy all lands except those
held hy the Nicaragua Government. How
much of this land would be in private
l ands when the time came to construct
the canal nobody now could say but cer
tainly the purchase of these lands would
add millions of dollars to the estimated
cost of the Nicaragua canal.
Mr. Kittredge indicated also that the
Maritime Canal Company would have a
claim against the United States in the
event of the adoption of the Nicaragua
room. This claim, he estimated at $13,-
(00 OfM) in addition to the amount of the
company's claim against Nicaragua which
the United States would have to assume.
That company, he said, was holding its
concessions for the purpose of re-imburs-

Miscellaneous Business in the House.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 16.—The House to
day transacted some miscellaneous busi
ness under suspension of the rules.
It included the adoption of resolutions
appropriating $25,000 for the prepara
tion of plans for a memorial in this city
to Abraham Lincoln, $100,0M) toward the
erection of a monument to the prison
ship martyrs who died off Brooklyn as
a result of the cruelties to which they
were subjected by the British during
the Revolutionary War and SIO,OOO for the
erection of a monument at Fredericks
burg, Va., to the memory of Gen- Hugh
Mercer, who was killed during the Revo
lutionary War. The resolution adopted
today was to carry out an authoriza
tion made for this purpose in 1777 by
the Continental Congress.
Two bills were passed to amend the
general pension laws, one to provide for
the restoration to the pension rolls of
the widows of soldiers who subsequently
married and were again widowed and
one to increase the pension of those who
have lost a limb or were totally disabled
while in the military or naval service.
The latter mill also carried an important
provision to increase the pension of a
soldier under the dependent act of 1890
from sl2 to S3O per month when such
pensioner requires frequent or periodical
attendance.
The resolution ealliing on the Secre
tary of War for his reasons for the dis
missal of Rebecca J- Taylor, a clerk in
the War Department, was laid on the
table, 109 to 84. Three Republicans voted
on this question with the Democrats.
A bill to authorize the Secretary of
War in his discretion to favor American
built ships in the transportation of Gov
ernment supplies to the Philippines was
defeated.
The House adopted a resolution to
make the Philippine Government Bill a
special order from June 19th to 26th in
clusive.
The Senate amendments to the Naval
Appropriation Bill were non-concurred in
and the bill was sent to conference.
Messrs. Foss (Ills.), Dayton (W. Va.)
and Meyer (Lao) were appointed con
ferees.

Hobson Gets Three Months Leave.
<By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 16.—Constructor Hob
son appealed today to Secretary Moody
for a three months’ leave of absence on
account of the condition of his eyes. He
is now on special duty at Elizabethport,
N. J. The Secretary conferred about this
application with Admiral Taylor, Con
structor Bowles and Surgeon General Rix
ey and decided to allow the leave. Naval
constructors are badly needed just now,
but Secretary Moody felt that he could
not disregard an appeal based on medical
reasons, as stated by the Surgeon General.
It is reasonably certain that Mr. Hobson
cannot remain in active service. At the
expiration of three months leave, if his
eyes have not materially improved he
will be orjpred before another retiring
board and it is believed chat this time
he will be retired.
Davis Monument Association.
To the Editor: The Board of Directors
of the Jefferson Davis Monument Asso
ciation met last week in Richmond in
earnest and protractive sessions. The
especial business before them at this
time was the selection of a design for
the Jefferson Davis Memorial Arch. Ten
models were presented for their con
sideration by the competing artists. Mr.
Charles Albert Lopez, the sculptor named
by North Carolina’s director, submitted
a beautiful and artistic design, considered
by a number of directors, though most
desirable of all in many particulars. A
bust of President Davis, six feet high,
just above the archway, wda most ap
propriate and beautiful; but the design
of Mr. Lewis Albert Gudibrod was the
favorite, and is a very beautiful model,
a description of which has been publish
ed in all the leading papers. A commit
tee of two, Mrs. Smythe and Mrs. Weed,
RALEIGH. NORTH CAROLINA. TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE 17.1902.
were appointed to visit New York and
confer with Mrs. Davis in regard to the
Arch. These ladies reported a most af
fectionate and touching interview with
Mrs. Davis, and said that she withdrew
all opposition to the Arch, as it was
strictly memorial. She desires the loca
tion, which had been selected by the
Daughters at Twelfth and Broad streets,
changed on account of the trolley line
passing through it. Several locations
were then discussed, but only two con
sidered available—Twelfth and Broad
and Monroe Park. O telegram was sent
to Mrs. Davis, asking her which of the
two she preferred. Her reply was, Mon
roe Park. The directors were the re
cipients of many graceful attentions from
the charming people of Richmond, and
nothing was left undone to make their
visit a most delightful one. Now, that
the matter of the Arch, and the location
%is settled and entirely satisfactorily to
all parties concerned, ways and means of
raising the balance of this fund is the
all absorbing question. Mrs. Edgar
Taylor, the efficient treasurer, reported
at this meeting $43,000 in bank drawing
interest. The arch, when completed, will
cost $75,000, so it is very plain we can
not be idle. It was suggested that a
bazaar be' held in Richmond next May—
each State to have a booth; it seems to
us, this is the easiest and quickest way
of raising the money. Before anything
definite is decided, however, directors are
requested to confer with their chapters
and make a report. Since Mrs. Taylor’s
last printed report, November, 1901, North
Carolina has contributed to date $272.27 —
her total contribution since the work be
gan—is $1,872.27. This is the largest
contribution of any State, Virginia ex
cepted, and is the largest of all division
contributions. North Carolina has done
well in this work, but we ask that her
best and noblest efforts, for the next
two years, be put forth for this glorious
cause. We ask the support of the people
of the South. Chapters are urged to sus
pend all local work, as far as possible,
until this memorial i-s completed.
We wish to thank the patriotic children
of the graded schools of Raleigh, Greens
boro and Concord, for generous penny
contributions. Cabarrus County Camp
No. 212 U. C. V., contributed to this
fund for 1902, and we earnestly hope that
other camps will send through their State
directors, contributions, no matter how
small. How glad we would eh to hear
from the sons of veterans. When the
subject of the arch was brought before
the convention at Wilmington, not a
single objection was heard.
The United Daughters of the Confed
eracy have pledged themselves to erect
this monument to the beloved and only
president of the Confederate States of
America. They will do it.

Bluefield, TV. Va., June 16 —There are
not as many men at work in the Flat
Top coal region today as on Saturday.
Several parties of a hundred and fifty to
two hundred strikers paraded the field
armed with Winchesters and a great
many shots were exchanged between
them and the guards at the mines. At
the Buckeye operation a party of a hun
dred strikers, most of them armed, pre
vented the men from going to work-
Thirty-eight armed strikers were met
by guards on Coaldale mountain as they
were erosing Elkhorn tunnel. The
rilies were taken away from them and
stored at Coaldale. This was accom
plished through the assistance of an agi
tator.
At the Tug river operation in the Tug

Parade of Strikers.
(By the Associated Press.)
Roanoke, Va., June 1C. —According to
advices received by the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company today the
only deviation from the usual quiet that
has prevailed oin the Pocahontas coal
region since the strike was inaugurated
was the parade of several parties of
strikers through the fields. Most of
them were accompanied by bands and
some of them were armed. These de
monstrations later in the day were
checked by the counselling of wiser
heads and the later reports indicate that
the armed bodies will give up their guns.
No serious trouble is anticipated.
The numerous meetings of the miners
on Sunday and the marching squads
have had the effect of somewhat lessen
ing the number of men who have been
returning to work- It is not thought
here that the strikers have gained any
recruits and it is known that some of
the men who were on strike last week
have returned to work today. In the
neighborhood of 350 cars of coal were
loaded on Saturday, which was a half
holiday. This was a gain of about 75
car 3 on the previous day.
Telegrams from the coal fields this
evening show that the armed marchers
have disbanded and laid down their
guns. The Norfolk and Western Com
pany has not yet resorted to the law in
order to avert deeds of violence and
state that they will not do so until every
other means has been exhausted.
Conditions in the Anthracite Field.
(By the Associated Press.)
Wilkesbarre, Pa.. June 16.—The sixth
week of the anthracite coal miners’
strike began today without a ripple to
disturb the calmness of the situation.
Several reports of assault on working
men and coal and iron police were re
ceived from different sections of the
region, but no one was seriously injured.
Most of these attacks occur under the
cover of darkness or at starting time in
the morning. It was expected that today
would witness the refusal of a large
number of fire bosses and other mine
bosses to go to work, but the best in
formation obtainable show that the num
ber of men who quit was not large. In
fact several of the mining superintend
ents in this region assert that they had
more men at work at the engines and
pumps than they had last week. Presi
dent Mitchell and other labor leaders on
the contrary, claim that nearly half of
the men who were at work on Saturday
refused to go into the collieries today.
Neither side gave out any figures.
Casper Clark, of Toledo. Ohio. Presi
dent of the International Team Drivers
Association, canto in for some attention
by labor leaders today. He submitted
to an interview, in which he said his
oiganization would do all it could to
help the striking miners. He said he
will make a thorough canvass of the
region to learn the sentiment of his
men, which will help to guide the na
tional association. if the miners should
ask the teamsters for help.
Nothing was given out at State head
quarters today. President Mtehell merely
said there was no change in either the
Anthracite or the West Virginia strike.
The mining superintendents of the big j
coal companies and individual operators
had nothing new to report.
Order Non-Union Men to Unit Work
(By the Associated Press.)
Roanoke, Va., June 16.—A number of
miners returning from the coal fields
reached here tonight. They report a
very serious state of affairs around
Simmons’ Creek and Goodwill mines on
the West Virginia side. They state that
about 500 strikers armed with rifles, re
volvers, etc., were today marching from
that section towards North Fork and
demanding that the non-union men now
at work quit. They also say that the
strikers have taken charge of the Good
will and Simmons Creek mines, and have
announced their determination not to al
low the workers to resume tomorrow.
They say they will resist any attempt
that may be made by the mine owners
to resume work.
THE BIEEL TRUST ENJOINED.
Restrained From Retiring $200,000,000 in
Stock,'lssuing $250,000,000,80nd5.
(By the Associated Press.)
Newark, N. J., June 16.—Vice Chan
cellor Emory today gave an oral opinion,
making a temporary injunction secured
a week ago by Miriam Berger, of Sulli
van county, N. Y., permanent. The in
junction restrains the United States
Steel Corporation from retiring $200,000,-
000 of preferred stock and issuing $250,-
000,000 in bonds instead. R. V. Linda
bury, counsel for the United States Steel
Corporation, gave notice of appeal.
In his opinion, the Vice Chancellor
held that the retirement of preferred
stock constituted a preferential reduc
tion of the corporation’s capital among
those assenting to the plan and a cor
responding impairment of the right of
those not assenting. According to Vice
Chancellor's decision preferred stock
holders have vested property rights,
which cannot be impaired by a board of
directors without the consent of the
holders of preferred shares.

there was considerable interest manifest
