Lively Discussion in (ho
Senate Yesterday.
The Original Package Bill
Causes a Stir.
The House Passes the Cliicamuuga
Military Hill and the River
and Harbor Kill.
Washington, May 28. Senator Sher
man from tho committee on foreign
affairs, reported an amendment to the
consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill, authorizing the President to carry
into effect the recommendations of the
international conference by tho appoint
ment of three commissioners to repre
sent the United States in the Inter
Colonial Railway commission. Also to
detail from the army and navy, otlicers
to serve us engineers under such com
mission. The Senate bill subjecting iniorted
liquors to the laws of several states was
then taken up. Faulkner expressed
himself in favor of doing something.
Of passing some bill that would relieve
the situation that now confronts congress.
In speaking of the regulation of the
liquor tratlic, he said he himself believed
as did the people of his State, that tho
high license system was tho true
method of dealing with the question.
He had given notice of an amendment
somewhat similar to the substitute
reported by the Judiciary com
mittee. He criticised tho sub
stitute, objecting, for instance,
to the use of tho word "prohibition,"
and suggested that the object could be
obtained by the use of tho word "re
qulation." Wilson, of Iowa, did not agree with
Faulkner and argued in favor of the
substitute.
Pugh argued in favor of tho bill and
said its defeat would leavo tho states in
a mo-it serious predicament.
Mr. Call expressed sympathy with the
idea that tho States hail nbsolute con
trol of tho trallic in intoxicating liquor
and was willing to bo for almost any
bill which would attain that end.
Calla yielded the floor to Allison, who
presented the conference report on the
army appropriation bill. Ingalls in
quired what had been done in regard
to the Senate amendment prohib
iting the sale of liquor at canteens. Al
lison said the provision had leen modi
lied to read: "That no alcoholic liquors,
lwer or wine shall bo sold or supplied
enlisted men in any canteen or iost
trader's store in any State or Territory
in which the sale "of alcoholic liquors,
beer or wine is prohibited by
law." Replying to a question
by Iilair, AllNon f-nil, tho Senate con
ferees found it necessary to yield to the
House conferees in the matter.
There was quite a spirited debate on
this ioint. Iilair held that it is an en
tire surrender of the proposition. Alli
son said of course the provision applies
only to States and Territories wliero
prohibitory laws prevail. The House
conferees were unanimous in insisting
that the Senate provisions should not
remain in the bill. Paddock said it is
within bonds to state that nineteen
twentieths of the troops are stationed out
sido of the States and Territories where
prohibitory laws are enforced. Allison
said that the Senate conferees did tho
best they could in the matter. Iilair in
sisted that the language adopted is a
substantial surrender of the senate
prorito and that the annv canteen will
remain in substantially full force.
Ingalls said either the control of the
army so far as tho sale of intoxicating
liquor is concerned ought to be in
the United States or it ought not.
Congress ought either to say all sol
diers shall have the opportunity of get
ting drunk or it ought not. The propo
sition to leave the control of the ques
tion to the local legislation seems inde
fensible and so far as tho Senate is con
cerned it would bo more manly to relin
quish the whole thing absolutely rather
than to have it so mutilated.
Allison withdrew tho report and said
he would call it tomorrow.
The Honso fortification bill was re
ported with amendments and laid on
the table.
The conference report on tho bill for
a public building at Cedar Hapids, Iowa,
was agreed to.
Consideration of the liquor bill was
resumed. Pierce criticised tho argu
ments, of some of the Democratic Sena
tors, and made an argument in support
of the bill. Turpie said the Senate nad
under consideration no duty whatever
to perform on this subject. With
respect to tho shoddy, transparent and
gauzy essence, or imago of an essence,
that is called, "Moral Sentiment Behind
Prohibitory Legislations," ho did not
ltelieve we had denomination of coin
to measure its value. After further
debate the Senate adjourned.
The House.
Washington, May 28. Hon. Richard
Vnux qualilled as tho late ex-Speaker
Randall's successor.
The bill passed appropriating $125,000
for tho establishment of a national mili
tary park at tho battlefield of Chica
mauga. A conference was ordered on
the appropriation bill.
Tho House went into committee of
the whole on the river and harlwr bill.
The endiiig question was on the point
of order raised by McCreary against tho
clause prescribing penalties upon own
ers of bridges which obstructed naviga
tion. The Chair overruled tho point of
order. On motion of Duiinel tho sec
tion declaring it shall not bo lawful to
construct bridges over any navigable
water-way pf tho United States within
the limits of a State without obtaining
tho approval of tho Secretary of War
was then stricken out. The conimitteo
then roo and reported the bill to tho
House.
Dockery moved to recommit the bill
with instructions to tho conimitteo on
rivers and harbors to report it back
with tho Hennepin cnnal clause
stricken out. Tho motion was lost.
Tho bill then passed without division,
after which tho house adjourned.

mended that the main features of the
Inter-state Commerce law be made a part
of tho law of the different States and
that laws be enacted by Congress secur
ing uniformity in various details of

Organized Hand of Smugglers.
Portland, Ore., May 28. The authori
ties last night made a seizure of 310
5-tael cans of opium, valued at about
$2000, at a Chinese washhouse on
Second street.
The authorities have suspected for
some time that an organized band of
smugglers existed here. They arrested
John Mays a brakeman on the Northern
Pacific railroad as one of the principals.
It bcems that the opium had l)een
sent to Lee Hing, a chinnes-e merchant,
upon its arrival. Hing in company with
Mays and a conductor went down to
receive it. When thev arrived at the
washhouse they found the opium had
been located by Customs Officers and re
fused to pay for it. The brakeman and
conductor, " at the ointa of a pistol,
forced Hing to write a note
to his partners telling them to
send the money or the railroad
men would kill him. The note was
given to Mays to deliver, but fell into
the hands of the officers who caused
the arrest. Before the other principals
could be secured they forced Lee Iling
into a Hack and escaped, taking the
Chinaman with them.

to Control Over Parochial or

Milwaukee, May 28. At the after
noon ses.-ion of the German Catholic
society the following resolutions were
unanimousls adopted:
In view of the attacks upon the most
i-acred rights of parents which have
recently been begun by the Rationalists
nnd adhearnts of paternism we are com
pelled to pret-ent to the people of this
state the following declarations:
First, "That natural and low parents
are entitled and in duty bound to pro
vide for the education of their children.
Therefore we claim for parents the right
to f elect such school for the education of
their children as they are convinced
will Imj best to promote the wcllfare of
theirchildren."
Second, "In case parents neglect this
duty the State is justified in compelling
them by appropriate legislation to dis
charge'their duty.
The state iiiay'uUo, when the parents
fail to provide lor the education of their
children, assume this duty. There is
justification for compulsory school at
tendance under the above mentioned
conditions. The necessity of public
schools and the right of general taxation
for their support is not denied.
Third, "v e declare that as we make
no claim uion the public school funds
for support of the Lurochue and other
private Kchools, but as citi?ens and tax
payers we insist on our rights, even at
the risk of lcing decried as enemies of
the public schools to proiest against any
measure and waste of this fund. As we
make no claim on the support
of the State for our Parochial
and private schools we deny
the light of the State to exercise any
control over our schools. We only then
grant it a right to interfere with tho
management of private schools if these
collide with public order or the law of
morals. Bevaut-e the so-called Bennet
violates the alwve mentioned principles
and unneeehsarily and unjustly curtails
our religious lilx-rty, we hereby declare
ourselves for the unconditional repeal
of that law. Whatever good there is
contained in this law has leen offered
by other laws and heretofore, and we
cannot recognize from it any other in
tention but this : To compel citizens
who provide for the education
of their children to adopt the methods
of those who hate their religion and
nationality.
"We, therefore aho declare that with
out regard to former party connections
we will vote for such candidates as shall
pledge thenn-elves to work for the repeal
of this law."
