c PACIFIC ROAD'S PliAfl $0 SAYS SENATOR WHITE, OF THE SANTA MONICA HARBOR PRO-. „ . JECT. *"°* • . "■■ _3si THE STATE OBJECTS TO IT. ftUNTINGTO'N ACCUSED OF TRYING TO FORCE IT THROUGH THE SENATE. ftARKOR BILL AnOUT COMPLETED. ♦he Contested California Appropri ation Is the Only Matter Yet to Be Decided. WASHINGTON, May B.—The river and har ftor bill was completed ln the senate today with the exception of the item for a deep sea harbor on the Pacific coast. This has aroused keen opposition, the two California senators opposing the proposed contract appropriation of $2,998,000, for the harbor at Santa Monica bay, on the ground that it is a project fos tered by the Southern Pacific railroad as against public sentiment and the recommen- dations of two boards of army engineers. Mr. White, of California, commented on the extraordinary condition by which the com merce committee of the senate was forcing an appropriation on a state against the wish es of its senators, representatives and people. With the bond resolution out of the way, the senate gave its attention to an accumu lation of minor measures before going on With the river and harbor bill. Mr. Mitchell (Rep., Or.) gave notice that when the last appropriation bill was passed, he would press the joint resolution for the election of sen ators by the people, not for the sake of hav ing further speeches, but of actually adopt ing the resolution. The senate then took up the river and harbor bill, and disposed of it all except the reserved amendment for a deep-water harbor ln Santa Monica bay, and authorizing con tracts aggregating $2,998,000 for the work. Mr. White offered an amendment for the creation of a board of three officers to re port on the relative merits of Santa Monica bay, and of San Pedro harbor, for the pur pose of a deep-water harbor. Mr. White commented on "the extraordinary and pc- culiar conditions" under which the senators and local representatives from California ■were not consulted as to the proposed appro priation. It indicated that "some extraordi nary influence" had been brought to bear. The senator commented on the "persistency of the Southern Pacific railway," and de clared that this accounted lor the extraordi nary action. The senator commented severely on a com munication from "the third house," written by Civil Engineer Corthell, an employe of the Southern Pacific Railroad company. The senator repudiated the claim of Corthell that he made an "official Investigation," at the request of senators and members. It was Mr. Huntington whom he served. Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) asked if there was not some official recommendation in favor of the Santa Monica harbor. "None on earth," answered Mr. White, "and, further, this appropriation of $3,098,000 is pro posed without an estimate ol recommenda tion." Mr. George (Dem., Miss.) added further questions. "Do I understand," he asked, "that two boards of army engineers, sworn to tho performance of their duty, have reported (.gainst the appropriation which the commit tee recommends to the senate? And do I understand that the two California senators and the representative from the District op pose the appropriation which the committee recommends?" "Yes." "Is lt a fact that no edidence exists in ravor of the project except that of the two men in tho employ of the Southern Pacific railway?" Mr. White answered that others had given their opinions and views, but there was no bther professional report. Mr. Bate (Dem., Term.) added that he un derstood that the commercial bodies of the locality were opposed to the Santa Monica »ite. At this point Mr. White concluded, to ro on tomorrow, and the senate adjourned. EXTRA CLERK HIRE. House Members Voted Money for Their Secretaries.

Today the proposi tion to extend this allowance to members during recesses came up in the form of a res olution adversely reported from the commit tee on accounts. It occasioned some very sharp debate. It had the support of Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appropriation committee, but was opposed by Mr. Dingley, the floor leader of the majority. Mr. Aldrich (Rep., 111.) said it would involve an expendi ture of $216,000 per annum. The resolution was advocated by Sir. Cannon, Mr. Morse (Rep., Mass.), Mr. Hepburn (Rep., Io.), Mr. Boutelle (Rep., Me.) and Mr. Henderson (Rep., Io.), and opposed by Mr. Dockery .Dem., Mo.), Pinkney (Rep., N. J.), Mr. Tra cy- (Rep., Mo.), Mr. Wheeler (Dem., Ala.), Mr. Skinner (Rep., N. C.) and Mr. Tolbert (Dem., S. C). The resolution was amended so as to except chairmen of committees hav ing annual clerks, and as amended, was passed by a vote of 130 to 108. An analysis of the vote shows that 114 Republicans, 15 Dcrcocrts and 1 silverite voted for it, and 53 Republicans, 58 Democrats and 1 Populist against lt. A bill was passed to appropriate $5,000 for' the deoortation of the Canadian refugee Cree Indians from the state of Montana. There are about 500 of these Indians. They have been in" Montana since the close of the Rlel rebellion. The pension bills favorably acted upon at last Friday night's session were taken up and passed.

They Have Been Appointed by the House and Senate. Special to the Globe. WASHINGTON, May B.—The house con ferees on the bill for the relief of settlers on Northern Pacific Indemnity lands were ap pointed today. They are all members of the public lands committee, Lacey, of Iowa; Allen, of Utah, aid Underwood, of Alabama. The senate conferees have also been ap pointed, and it is expected that the consid eration of the measure will be resumed at once. The investigation Involves a contest between Senator Nelson and Congressman Towne. The senate has passed the Nelson bill, but on motion of Mr. Towne it was amended in the house, so that all after the enacting clause was stricken out and a new measure Inserted. Senator Nelson refuses to allow. the amended bill to pass the senate, and has therefore had lt sent to conference.

Senate Committee Rejects the Ac tion of the House.

The most important change made in the bill was that restoring the old system of making appro priations for the charities of tho district, and striking out the lump appropriation as made by the house. The action of the senate com mittee is in accord with that flrst taken by the house committee on appropriations, which caused the bill, after it was about completed In the house, to be again recommitted.

WRIT WILL BE GRANTED COMPELLING COUNTY OFFICIALS TO REMOVE FROM OLIVIA TO BEAVER FALLS. SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS. They Rale the Convention at Aber deen—Sioux Falls Elks Enter tain. Special to the Globe. REDWOOD FALLS, May B.—The Renville county seat contest case was called If the district court at 1:"30 this afternoon. Judge Webber issued an alternative writ some time ago ordering Clerk of the Court Cook to move back to Beaver Falls, and Cook prom ised to comply, but yesterday word was re ceived that he would refuse to obey the court's orders. This afternoon the attorneys for Olivia appeared before Judge Webber to answer for Clerk Cook not having obeyed the court's mandate. The answer they set up was that James Smith, the petitioner ln all the county seat proceedings, was not known to be a resident of Renville county. The public opinion is that this point has been raised simply to delay the forcing of county officers to go back to Beaver Falls. Olivia attorneys claim points of this kind which will delay the moving for three years. Judge Webber said that the point raised might be legal, but implied that he would require the clerk of court to go back to Beaver Falls. The city ls full of Renville county people, who are Interested In the case. CHARGE FALLS THROUGH. Evidence That the Accusers Were the Enibe-zlers. WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., May 7.— E. S. Woolfan, the tailor of this city, who was ar rested at the instance of Kaufman & Yezner for the alleged embezzlement of $600 worth of goods, has been discharged from custody, Judge Hutchins holding that there was not sufficient evidence to connect the defendant with the crime, and it was more probable that one of the state's witnesses, Samuel Bvrnsteln, knew more of the disappearance of the goods. The -case grows out of the famous Ely, Minn., swindle, whereby Kauf man & Yezner attempted to defraud Som mers & Co., and Kellogg, Johnson & Co., of St. Paul, out of $13,000 worth of goods. The $600 worth were shipped to this city and claimed to be placed in Woolfan's keeping, but when the flrm decided to turn their available assets over to Receiver French the stuff could not be found. It had been sold ln small lots throughout Northern Wisconsin lumber camps all winter, and Kaufman & Yezner accused Woolfan of embezzling the property. The evidence was very contra dictory by the Hebrew witnesses and the result ls a complete turndown for the St. Paul creditors, who backed the prosecution. A few days ago the replevin suit by which they attempted to recover what is left of the $600 worth failed. Wolfan says he will have Kaufman, Yezner and others themselves ar rested. The whole party have left the state, however. SOONERS MUST VACATE. Land Officials Get the Formal Order From Washington. Special to the Globe.

A Stay reporter on a correspondence' trip had occasion to stop all night in a "West Virginia cabin, where he had been entertained a year before. The cabin at his first visit had faced the road; it now occupied a position at a considerable distance from the high way, and faced the other direction. When asked about the change, the owner of the cabin said: "Had ter make it. Dad made sech a fuss 'bout it, my wife' lowed we'd hey ter move back. To' see, she nev er knowed the 6le man in his life time, an' she didn' like bein' pestered by him twenty y'ar after he wer dead." "How was that?" inquired the Star man. "Wall, the house uster be hyar fore thar war any road, an' when dad died we buried 'im over yonder by them oaks. The road was cut through an' we moved the house over dad's grave. He never had cut up none, though he war a great cavorter when he lived but when we moved the house he uster come every night to our bed an' try to sw'ar, but my wife kicked erbout it an' I moved the cabin back agin.

An English Company Proposes to In sure Poor People. Pearson's Weekly. What worse domestic calamity can befall a poor man's home than the ad vent of twins, unless it be triplets. That, at least, is the idea upon which the pro jectors of the Provident Bounty associ ation, organized recently, propose to bank the prospects of the concern. As a financial document it is unique. It bears some respectable names, and subscriptions to the capital stock of £10,000 are invited, with the most tempt ing inducements. "It is notorious," say these projectors, "that many people marry in the hope of improving their fortune; but frequently disappointment comes with the advent of an unexpectedly large family. This association provides to some extent for that contingency by at once giving a substantial sum in the case of the birth of twins." WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER.

An dorra is believed to be the only civi lized state in the world in which not a single paper is published.

It is nominally under the protection of France, but its 14,000 in habitants speak the Spanish tongue. Here, then, is an opportunity for an enterprising journalist.
