Washington, Special.- Senator Dry
fleu has revised his bill contemplating
oveiimient control of insurance and
will re-introduce it in the Senate
soou. He has followed very closely
the investigation now being conduct-'
ad by tbe New York legislative com
mittee anl this has aided him in per
fecting his measure, until he expesse?
the 'belief - thaat it will correct par
ticularly all of the insurance evils
exposed by the New York inquiry.
Publicity is the keynote, and coupled
with are safeguards for the detect
ion of wrongdoers and the punish
ment of . those - so offending. It de
fines politics, or insurance contracts,
as instrumentalities of commerce, and
provides for the regulation of the
business through the , medium of a
Comptroller of Insurance and along
lines similar to the control exercised
over netioual :, banks. The Senator
says that the bill has the endorsement
of the President, administration offi
cials, and eminent cnstitutional law
yers in and out" of Congress. Discus
sing the -principal features of the bill.
Senator Dryden said:
''The bill contains some 50 separate
provisions, of Avhich the first 13 relate
to the organization of the proposed
Bureau of Insurance in the Depart-
ment ot commerce . ana ..Labor, in
charge of (Comptroller of Insurance,
bondede at $100,000. '
Dominician Rebels Routed.
Cape Haytian, Hayti, By Cable.
A sanguinary and what probably will
prove to be the final battle has taken
place near Guayubin, between the
troops of General Caceres, . the tem
porary President of Santa Domingo,
and the insurgents. The former
were victorious. Several generals on
both sides were-killed or wounded.
The gunboat, Indipendencia, which
recently went over to the insurgents,
intends on the advice or former
President Morales, to return to Santo
Domingo and surrender if the govern
ment will guarantee the safety of its
officers and crew. It is expected also
that the Governor of Monte Christi
will follow the advice of Genera
Morales and'- surrender that place.
provided the necessary guarantees as
to safety be given.

"The followin table indicates the
present condition of the cotton, wool
en, silk and knitting mills onw being
operated in the State, 287 of these be
ing represented. "There appears to-be
a strop tendenee toward the consoli
dation of textile institutions in sever
al counties and a number of instances
of the kind have occurred since the
publication of the department report
of 1904. The reason assisned for this
is scarcity of labor, a condition which
is not confined to any particular sec
tion of the State. A number of new
mille have been constructed and are
soon to be operated, but the list does
not appear in this as it was impossible,
to obtain from these such; information
as the tables present.-
- " The 287 mills reporting show an
inVesfment of $37,494,025. and the
employment of 2,267,625 spindles, 45,
C63 looms, 3,933 knitting machines

363 persons are dependant upon the
mills for a livelihood ; 88 per cent, of
adults read and Avrite, and 79 per cent

" In response to the question with
reference to children under twelve
years of age working in the factories,
76 per cent, of the manufacturers
answer in the negative, one per cent,
in the affirmative nd twenty-three
per cent, express no opinion, upon the
subject. ' r

seven per cent, report financial condi
tion of employes as being good ; twen
ty per cent, say, it is fair; two per

seems that Nelms .- had purchased a
new- pistol and he and young Thomp
son were out in the yeard trying it.
Thompson was holding the pistol and,
in some way, it was discharged, the
load taking effect in Nelm's head. The
ball entered at 'the chin .and, passing

i -Fact of Harmony Tin own is Passed
vNev; Orleans, Special. With; a
large and representative attendance
from the cotton-growing states, the
Southern Cotton Association opened
a, three days' session here. The hall
was crowded when President Jordan
called the convention to order. A
feature;' that attracted attention was
the presence of a negro delegation
Jf TT -r' ' '
xrom nines county, iiiississippi. ec-
retary Woods of the Mississippi asso

John M. Parker of New Orleans,
planted 7,000 acres in cotton last year,
and one of the most progressive and
successful men in the entire South, as
chairman of the reception committee,
welcomed the delagates to the South
ern Cotton Association convention.
-New Orleans, Special. That the
sum of work of the Southern Cotton
Association was to be a declaration
for 15-cent cotton, with reduction in
the form of diversification, was prac
tically settled at the afternoon session
of the convention when Chairman
Dancy, of the committee on holding
in advance of the presentation of its
report, announced that the committee
had unanimously decided favorably
on that proposition. The announce
ment provoked the convention to a
whirlwind of cheering.
The premature announcement of
the conclusions ' of the committee was
forced by advices from New York to
the effect that newspaper dispatches
and Wall Street reports printed and
circulated there indicated a lack of
harmony among the elements making
up the convention and dissesions over
the 15-cent proposition.
Secretary of War At Charleston.
Charleston, Special. Secreary Bon
aparte and a "party of officers of the

the grounds, visiting each of the build
ings in turn and the dry dock. Secre
tary Bonaparte followed the govern

lighten the visitors about the work.
The secretary and officers of the ship

THE WORK OF CONGRESS
What Our National Law Makers Are
Doing Day by Day.
- : Admit Congress Shirked. . ,
- The . Senate gave attention to the
Panama Canal, the situation is Santo
Domingo and the merchant marine
shipping bill. The canal question
came' up in connection ; with a letter
from the President, in which, among
other things, he invited the closest
scrutiny into all that had been done
by the government in" the Isthmus
of Panama. Mr. Gorman made tha
utterance the text - for a speech in
which ' he critisizeVl the salaries paid
for work in connection with the canal
and urged congressional inquiry.'. He
said that the President was not so
much to blame as Congress for his
assumption of control on the isthmus,1
and that the chief, mistake had been
made when Congress released its hold
upon canal affairs.
Philippine Tariff Sole Topic.
Washington, Special. The, Philip
pine tariff measure , was the single
topic of conversation in the House.
The speeches were, uniformly against
the measure and w-cre allowed" to go
in general . without answer. Digres
sion in the fornvof tariff revision dis
cussion was made in a brief speech by
Mr. Gillett, of Massachusetts, who fa
vored Canadian reciprocity. V
$200,000 For Confederate Graves."
The Senate made it plain that it
had heard all that it wants to hear
for the present on the Moroccan. ques
tion. There were two opportunities to
resume consideration of the subject;
but both were avoided and apparently
with the assent of all the members
Having had its day in court, the reso
lution dealing with the subject as
placed on the calendar, and when it
.was reached in regular order no one
manifested the least disposition to dis
turb it there, and the Senate ad
journed at a comparatively early hour
rather than take it up.
Notwithstanding the early adjourn
men, a great deal of business was dis-
rosea oi. ivooui ou Dins were pass
ed, leaving on' the calendar only six
or seven measures. Of the bills pass
ed a large majority grant private pen-'
sions and many ..we're bridge bills. One
of the bills favorably acted upon ap
propriated $200,000 for the appro
priate marking of the graves of Cen
federate soldiers who died in North
ern prisons during the civil war.
; Row Over Patronage. ,
Representative Overstreet ". (Ind.).
secretary of the Republican congress
ional campaign committee, announced
thai the President 's i failure to, allow
him to name the surveyor of the port
at Indianapolis has discouraged ,him
so badly that he will not again serve
on the committee.
In . a written statement-issued by
Mr. Overstre6t. he discusses the fail
ure of President Roosevelt, to appoint
Frank D. Stalnaker, the Overstreet
candidate for the Indianapolis sur
veyorship an4 the appointment of L.
G. Rothschild, Senator Beveridge's
candidate. The. statement sa3Ts the
surveyorship has always been regard
ed as the patronage of the Indian
apolis Representative. Mr. Overstreet
says Senator Beverage has more than
his share of Federal offices in In
dianapolis. He says he feels he has
been badly treated by the President.
Philippine , Tariff in the House. , t
The Philippine tariff debate in the
house consisted more of party manbe
vonring for advantageous f campaign
material than a discussion of the
pnestion at issue. The tariff was the
text of a speech by Mr. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, who began the debate,, and of
an extended reply by Mr. Williams,
the minority leader. '
Mr. Adams of Wisconsin, opposed
the bill, but advocated a readjustment
of the tariff on business principles."
Mr. McKinley of California, deliver
ed his first speech in the house in
favor of the pending measure and
pointing a finger of warning toward
the growing industries of Japan.
In secret session the senate discuss
ed the status of Senator Bacon's
Moroccan resolution for. three hours
and in the end it was left on the
calendar. Vice-President Fairbanks
declared that' his course in . placin
the resolution on the calendar had
L been the unvarying: practice "and ? he
produced- as a precedent, a , ruling
made by Vice President ilorton m an
identical situation. Several -: other
precedents were quoted in brief
speeches. . Senator Teller and Morgan
defended - the contention of - Senatoi
Bacon that the . resolution had been
placed on the calendar wrongfully;
the first mentioned making & long
speech in support of his position. , No
Republican members talking on the
resolution, leaving the "course of' th
presiding officer to himself to defend.
