MORGAN STILnALKING
OBTAINS CONCESSION
The Spooner Act to Be Attactied to
Panama Treaty
The Gentleman From Alabama
Tonsentinff to a Dav f or
' "
His Remarks May Go Into the Congressional Record
He Finds Another Outlet for Expression in the Public
Prints of the Country Which Have a Wider Circula
tion Than Their Washington Contemporary.
Washington, March 10 Senator Mor
gan today cecure-1 the first material
concession that has been made by the
senate in. connection with the Panama
canal, treaty with Colombia. This
consisted of an agreement to attach
the Spooner canal act bodily to the
treaty. This change was made in
compliance with the re-iuer.t presented
by Mr. Lodge during the executive ses
sion cf the senate today, after the
necessity for it had htcn discussed by
Mr. Morgan and other ircinbers of the
seiKite committee. "
Mr. Morgan consumed almost the en
tire time of the clr.3e.1l session, dis
cussing the canal ciupsli a from vari
cus points of view. a:id going over
much ground already covered. Most
ci the speech was written, anil Mr.
Cullcm -asked him if the- speech he was
reading was a r.e w one or an old one.
He replied, with some manifestation of
vextttion, that it was ne.v, adding ho
did not have to repeat his addresses.
He discussed particularly the attitude
of the isthmian canal coirmlswl.in. on
which commission General Walker i"
the head, and criticised to some ext-r.t
the vhnngs of view taken by that cum
ir.iston in Us last report. lie p.lu
dwelt -on the variation cf the terms of
the treaty from these of the Speor.cr
law.
During' the progress of his address
,. Mr. Morgan expressed a desire to havo
eopies cf the correspondence , between
B-tc IZ'. ited Pf-iif t) purchase tiie canal
for C-lC,CM.C-.:0 and the scvi.ite cot!"..-! to 1
to request the secretary or rtat. f:rth;
correspondence. The papers had net
arrived t S:", o'cl ;ck. una Mr. Moigi-.n
stated that he would bi ur.nb'.e to pro
ceed witr.erjt their.. Mr. Cullom moved
that the senate adjourn :md this mo
tion prevailed.
During: the day there was more or
less discussion of the preposition to
permit Mr. Morgan to t.ul.iifh his re
marks in the Congee. Clonal Record, but
there was no effort to reach a. conclus
ion 011 this point'. Mr. Cullom, chair
man of the committee on foreign re
lations has taken the position that this
permission to print it shall not be
granted unless Air. Morgan will ;'gree
to allow a day to be fixed for a vote
on the treaty.
On the other hand Mr. Morgan soy.;
ho is entirely Independent cf th- sen
ate in this respect because he says
he can discuss to any extent he pleases
In the public prints the former treaty
between the United States and Colom
bia, "which was almost identical with
the pendirg treaty-and which has been
made public.
After the senate adjourned today a
number of democratic senators met in
formally in Mr. Gorman's room for a
general discussion of the pclitical situ
ation of the senate and country at
large. Mr. Gorman talked at some
length about the necessity of pai ty
unity, and pointed out the necessity
o.' harmony in the party in the senate
this time, because cf its possible bear
ing on the future of the democratic
party throughout the country. A num
ber of other senators expressed similar
views, but no action was taken, as the
meeting was in no sense official.

STARVING CATTLE.
Result of Late Storm in Western
Kansas.
Topekn, Kan., March 10. Detailed re
ports concerning the damage by the
storm in western Kansas on cattle are
being received. Thousands of cattle
died, and more will be lost before the
snr.w disappears.
The weather has not been so cold
but that stock could have survived
it, but the snow has been so deep that
the animals could not get either food
or water. The same condition pre
vails cn the western ranges now, am'
cattle in large numbers are starv

INCENDIARY'S WORK
DOCK DESTRUCTION
Portland the Scene of a Fiery Disturb
ance All Day
P'-rtland. Or?.. March 10. The Vic

the Willamette river, was entirely de
stroyed by fire about noon today, to
gether with 10.000 tons of wheat and
2,000 tons cf salt stored on the dock.
The total loss is estimated at $400,000.
The insurance is about $310,000.
It is certain that the fire was started
by an inc endiary, as a man was seen
leaving the dock after the fire had
gained some headway. Three times
during the past fortnight fires have
be"en started on the docks of this city,
and it is supposed the same man is re
sponsible for all of them. Several small
houses near the dock were destroyed,
the loss aggregating ?fi,000.
Earlier in the day half a block of
frame buildings not far from the Vic
toria, dock was destroyed. Eighteen
families who lived in the block were
rendered hon-.eless. The total loss wa
about $-5.00f-.
Canning, Wallace & Co. and Zan

steamer Karmania, from Marseilles,
Palermo and Naples, e-ause that vessel

Health Ollieer Doty after examination,
seid symptoms were so similar to those

health officer positively knows lhat
they are free from infection. The
bodies were buried at sea and the
meagre report o? che ship's doctor in
creased Ir. Doty's suspicion. Each of
the victims died in convulsions attend
ing attacks nf r.ousea and cramps.
Dr. Doty aft. r securing records of all
the deaths aboard gave out the follow
ing statement: "From the meagre re
ports of the ship's doctor I regard these
cases as very suspicious. We have no
cases to examine and as the borlie
were buried at sea, the only advice ob
tainable was the doctor's r.otes and
statements giving a history of the
eases. All the symptoms nausea,
cramps and sudden collapse and death
are so similar to those of cholera that
I purpose to treat the vessel 'nd pas
sengers as if it were certain. The ves
sel will be thoroughly disinfected, the
passengers, 733 in number, transferred
to Hoffman's island, and the crew, af
ter the vessel shall be docked, shall
also be taken to Hoffman's island.
These peopie will be detained there un
til I am positive lhat they are free
from infec-ti-n. This course is pursued
because of the suspicious character cf
the deaths and the absence of evidence
of the cause. No person on board the
Karmania appears to h able to ac
count for the outbreak."
This is the Karmania's second ex
perience of the kind. On August 3.

Lincoln, Neb., March 10 The flood
situation in Nebraska tonight is even
worse than twenty-four hours ago.
The wrecking by an ice gorge of the
main line bridge of the Rock Island

THE MISSISSIPPI
RUNNING HIGHER
A Grave State of Affairs Exists on the

Memphis. Tenn., March 10. The river
tonight is above thirty-five on the

at any previous time during the present
' rise. This is taken to indicate hat
there will be a rapid rise tonight and
tomorrow.
All of these conditions tend to give
the most gloomy view of the lloerd situ
ation and uneasiness is increasing on
every hand. Officials of levee boards
and LTpited States engineers continue
to say that there is no immediate
caufce for anxiety, but further than this
they give no encouragement and they
say a grave state of affairs seems in
evitable. The government steamer Atlee left
tonight for White river with a cargo of

mittedThe Eight Hour Bill Signed on the Last Day;
An Ineffectual Attempt to Move the Woman Suffrage
Bill.
There was more of a swirl in the legis
lature yesterday than there had been on
any other day of the session. Not a great
deal was accomplished, however. The
eight-hour bill concerning which some
apprehension had begun to be felt be
came a law. Yesterday was the last
day on which the governor could sign
it. If he should fail to do so it was
plain that the council could not raise
the necessary two-thirds vote to pass
it over his head. When the house as
sembled in the afternoon a message was
received from the executive chambers
announcing the signing of the bill.
There was a cheer of relief.
The Cowan bill was pocketed for a
time. Its friends say they are sure of
getting it out in time to pass it, but
they are uncertain whether that event
will take place today or tomorrow. In
the skirmishing yesterday morning it
became evident that the bill had lost
strength, and on what weie con.
strued to be test votes it seemed
doubtful if even a majority could be
mustered in its behalf. Later in the
day, however, in a vote on the Rowo
bill designed to supplant the Cowan bill
and which was defeated on a tie vote,
it appeared that the strength of th.j
Cowan measure might be safely put at
fourteen votes.
An effort was made to take the wo
man suffrage bill out of the council
committee on territorial affairs, but it
failed by two votes. The fricwids. o4f
the bill have been claiming a majority
for it and they still insist that they can
pass it once it is before the council, but
on the other hand the opponents of 'the
bill say they do not see how any greater
strength can be developed than was
shown yesterday. It is also announced
by the enemies of the bill that it will
be reported. Late in the day Dr. White
side introduced a bill similar to the one
which is being held up.
THE HOUSE.
Proceedings in the house were begun
on the Cowan bill early in the morning.
It came in with a lot of others from
the committee on enrolled and en
grossed bills, and at the same time the
judiciary committee, of which Mr.
Rowe, one of the most active opponents
cf the Cowan measure, unloaded a lot
of bills in advance, so that the Cowan
bill was given a place far down on
the list of immediate business. An
effort was made to take it up, but failed
on a point of order that the bill was
not on the calendar. There was a good
deal of preliminary skirmishing, after
which the friends of the bill permitted
things to take their course for the day
at least.
They succeeded, however, in intro
ducing the report of the special com
mittee appointed to investigate the af
fairs of the office of the territorial sec
retary with the object of determining
the amount of. the receipts of the office.
The"report was not read, but put on
the clerk's desk to be ,considered with
the bill. The report is a type-written
document of thirty-seven pages and
contains the conclusions of the commit
tee based upon an examination of the
secretary, his assistant and employees
of the office. Mr. St. Charles, one of
the members of the special committee,
refused to sign the report. The
report charges that the report

the amount of the business of the office

The committee was unable to find any
fee book. The secretary in his examin-
I ation said he had never kept any and
. that none cf his predecessors had kept
any. He believed that he was not re-
quired to keep such a book; he had an
I account book containing a record of the
J business of his office, but that was orfly
: for his own1 convenience and for th"5
'. convenience of those who were doing
business with the office. That record,,
had been destroyed sometime in Janu
ary. I This business having been temporar
I ily disposed of tne regular order wail
( taken up and the following new bills
j were introduced: By Mr. Ingalls. for
the restriction of granting franchises
for public utilities: by Mr. Barrow, to
regulate public printing In counties cf
1 the fourth and fifth classes; by Mr.
Cowan, amending the statutes in rela
tion td corporations keeping offices out
I side the territory; by Mr. Rowe, to pro
j vide for the distribution of taxes made
payable by the United States laws. The
bill providing that all section lines on
-jitrblio lands-shall . be - declared public "
reads was passed.-" - " '
Early in the afternoon a message was
received from the council announcing
the fate in that house of a lot of house
bills. Most of them of an unimportant
character were passed. The following
bills were passed by the house: To fls
a legal standard of weights and meas
ures; authorizing the governor to direct
the issuance of a parole to convicts
except life convicts who have served
one year in the territorial prison. This"
differs from the present law only n
that it makes convicts who have pre
viously served eligible to parole. An
I effort was made to amend Mr. Gonzales'
I bill abolishing the local option law in
I a most radical manner. The amend -I
meat provides that a local option dis
j triet may be established bv a simple
1 majority vote. Mr. Gonzales declined
j to accept the amendment and the bill
was returned to tne committee, sev
eral bills were indefinitely postponed.
