Adopts Report With Hardly a Dis-
Mnting Voice—Speaker's Remarks
Concerning the President M»M la
fta Not Justified.
Washington, Jan. 28.—Recommend
in* that the speech delivered in the
house last week by Representative
Willett of New York, in which the
president was severely criticised, be
expunged from the congressional rec
ord the select committee appointed to
consider the speech submitted its re
port to the house. A letter written to
the committee by Representative Wil
lett, urging that his speech should re
main on record, accompanied the re
port.
Declaring that "the consideration
of the speech in question involves a
consideration of what is and what Is
not orderly debate in the house" the
committee's report defines the priv
ileges of members of the house and
the limitations of debate. It discusses
at length the relationship of the two
houses of congress and the relations

stitution.
The report declares that It would
seem that the peculiar constitutional
duties of the house in relation to the
power of impeaching the president do
not preclude a clear line of distinc
tion between that criticism of acts
and conduct necessary for perform
ance of the constitutional duties of
the house and a criticism merely per
sonal and irritating. It also claims
that it is especially the duty of the
house itself to protect the president
"from that personal abuse, inuendo
or ridicule tending to eiclte disorder
in the house itself and to create a
personal antagonism on the part of
the president toward the house and
which is not related to the power of
the house under the constitution to
examine into the acts and conduct of
tt»- president."
Remark^ Not JuatlfM.
"Your committee has carefully con
sidered the remarks of the gentleman
from New York,' continues the re
port, "and finds that his remarks con
cerning the president are not justified
by any considerations of the constitu
tional duties or powers of the house
that they transcend proper limits of
criticism in debate: that they are de
structive of that courtesy, respect and
dignity which ought to be preserved
and that they ought not to remain in
the permanent official record of the
proceedings in the house."
The committee claimed that it was
Impossible to separate the objection
able remarks from the remainder of
the speech and that the only way to
eliminate the remarks considered out
of order would b? to strike out the

at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Jan. 28.—The hearing in
the Harriman merger suit was taken
up by Special Examiner Sylvester G.
Williams of Denver, Colo., in the
United States circuit courtrooms. At
torney C. A. Severance appeared for
the government.
The first witness called was Thomas

Southern Pacific railroads. He told
of the efforts to get trade by the rail
roads in the West and said there was
no competition between the two
roads named.
L. C. Beihler, traffic manager of the
Carnegie Steel company, testified that
prior to 1901 the Southern Pacific anil

traffic. Now they have the
same
agent, he said.

tween Union and Southern Pacific.
WANTS JAP CONSUL
GENERAL RECALLED
Resolution by IMer of Cali
fornia Legislature.
Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 28.—Senator
Marc Anthony introduced In thr
upper house a joint resolution calling
upon congress to request that th
Japanese consul general at San Fran
cisco be recalled by bis government
on the ground that the official had at
tempted to influence the action of the
California legislature. The alleged
offense
of the consul was that he had
called upon Governor Gillett and
asked him to prevent the enactment
of anti-Japanese bills pending.
In the assembly, on motion of As
sernlSlvman A. M. Drew, author of the
anti-alien land bill, action on all anti
Japanese bills was postponed for one
week, when the measures come up as
a special order of business.
When the Drew bill prohibiting
aliens holding land was called up for
consideration in the assembly its au
thor asl ed that it be put over. Mr.
Drew has held a conference with Gov
ernor Gillett and will amend his
measure to conform to the wlihea of
the feder**1 government.

PRESIDENT GOMflB.
Today is a general holiday throughout
Cuba and from all the six states men
prominent in the political, commercial
and social life of the island have gath
ered to attend the inauguration. The
principal officers of the American
troops still in Cuba, reinforced by the
officers of the American warships in
the harbor, made a brave showing in
their dress uniforms. The inaugura
tion ceremonies were preceded by a
parade of the rural guards and other
Cuban troops, in which the American
soldiers did not participate, as it was
thought that their presence in the
procession might recall too strongly
the fact that for more than two years
the island haa been under foreign
domination.
Congratulations for Gomez.
At the close of the ceremonies Pres
ident Gomez was warmly congratu
lated by the foreign envoys, who ex
tended to him the good wishes ol
their respective governments for the
welfare of his country. A conspicuous i Only
figure was Mgr. Aversa, representing gayly
the Vatican. Many messages of con
gratulation were received, notablj
from President Roosevelt and Will
iam H. Taft, president-elect of the
I'nited States. He has many friends
among prominent Cubans.
Word of the taking of the oath oi
office by President Gomez was sent
to the American battleships Maine and
Massachusetts, lying in the harbor as
representatives of the United States
government. Immediately the shores
of the harbor began to echo with the
