CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
What the Nation's Lawmakers Are
Doing Day By Day,
Speaker Takes the Bit.
Speaker Cannon Friday took the bit
in his teeth and ran completely away
with sanctified legislative precedent in
the House. Incidentally he broke all
pievious records in the dispatch of private
pension bills. Under his guidance
320 of these measures of relief received
the favorable consideration of the committee
of the whole and passage by the
House in the short space of 155 minutes.
Nearly the whole of this time,
however, was consumed ia committee
of the whole. The House passed the
bills "en bloc under unanimous consent,
which the Speaker himself asked
iur. AUUlll llUll Ul llic LfUIO n CiC uaoposed
of uhder this request?those
without amendment. When objection
was temporarily made the Speaker
plainly showed his displeasure by dragging
the proceedings.
The objection was withdrawn when
the remaining bills were declared passed
without even the formality of having
the clerk read their numbers. Mr.
Finley, of South Carolina, was the objector.
He made the statement that ht
did not consider this mode of procedure
proper for a legislative body.
"The objection is perfectly proper,"
replied Speaker Cannon. "This method
of procedure could only be done by
unanimous consent, and the chair has
been very careful, and it is quite within
the power of any member to object."
Then, with a note of disappointment
in his voice, he concluded: "Objection
is made. The clerk will report the first
bill."
The first bill contained an amendment.
and when the clerk announced
that fact, the Speaker inquired facetiously:
"Does tha gentleman from
Carolina desire to hear the amendment
read?"
? " HAnllorl Mr Vinler
WU, 1IW, i in, * (uiv^
"Well," continued the Speaker, "the
gentleman does not know what the nature
of the amendment is. Neither does
the chair."
He then insisted on the reading of
the entire amendment and, when this
was done, his announcement of the
third reading and passage of this bill
was noticeably slow. In the meantime
Chairman Loudenslager, of the pension
committee, and several of Mr.
Finley's Democratic colleagues went
to his seat to remonstrate with, him for
Ihe objection. When a fresh request
for unanimous consent was made no
objection was offered.
Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio, made what
he declared, with some heat, was his
last attempt to get a day set for the
consideration of the bill creating a
ioint commission to consider the question
of ship subsidy. His request was
that this measure be made a special
order for Feb. 20. Several objections
had been made and withdrawn.
Mr. Hardwick. of Georgia, objected
because Mr. Bartlett. his colleague, had
objected when the request was made
previously and was not in his seat at
the time.
- The Senate will vote on the Panama
Canal treaty on some day between
February 15 and 23. An agreement
was reached in executive session today
to take action on Monday next to de
ude upon a time for voting on the
treaty, and it was determined that
such date should be on or before KebFuary
23.
The Senate was in executive session
tor more than four hours, and after
the agreement to vote on the treaty
lad been reached nearly the entire time
ivas devoted to general discussion of
th encroachments of the Senate and
the President on each other's prerogative
under the constitution.
Senator Teller opened the debate on
this subject. In a speech lasting more
than two hours, and filled with inci- I
lents where the Senate nas interrerea ;
vith the President in regard to making
federal appointments, he aroused a
lumber of the Republican leaders to
he defense of President Roosevelt,
tome of the Republicans agreed that
here had been many encroachments
iv the White house upon the rights
)f the Senate. The political phases of
he debate were flnaly eliminated, with
lie result that several administrations
vere discussed and brought under the
)an of disapproval. The first was unler

vhich it was said that the President

of the clemency of the Japanese in
returning to the harbor, then taking
refuge on the foreign vessels and refusing
to surrender, whereas the Japanese
fleet refrained from sinking

A magnificent episode in the battle
was the second sortie of the two Rus

national anthem, the international
fleet loudly cheering the bravery and
gallantry of the Russians, the Variag

in what was certain death. The positions

Japan Strikes Hard and Fast?The
Japanese Did Not Lose a Ship.
London. By Cable.?Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister here, has received
official confirmation from Tokio of
the destruction at Chemulpo, cf the
Russian first-class cruiser Variag and
the third-class cruiser Korietz. The
text of the official dispatch received by
Baron Hayashl is as follows:
"On Monday, a Japanese squadron
escorting transports met on the way
to Chemulpo, Korea, the Russian gunboat
Korietz, as the latter was coming
out of port. The Korietz took up
n nffpneivA attitude towards the Ja
panese vessels and fired on the Japanese
torpedo boats. The latter discharged
two torpedoes ineffectively
and then the Korieta returned to. her
anchorage in the port.
"Early in the morning of Tuesday
Admiral Urik. commanding the Japanese
squadron, formally called on the
Russian warships to leave Chemulpo
before noon. The admiral added that
if his demand was not complied with
he would be compelled to attack them
in the harbor. The two Russian warships
left the port at about 11:30 a.
m. and a battle ensued outside the
Polynesian Islands. After about an
hour's engagement the Russian warships
sought refuge among the islands.
Towards the evening the Russian
cruiser Variag sank and about 4 a. m.
today, Feb. 10, the Korietz was
ported to have also sunk, having been
blown up. The officers and men of the
two sunken vessels sought refuge on
the French cruiser Pascal. There were
no casualties on the Japanese side."

"In our solicitude for*the maintenance
of peace, which is dear to our
heart, we made every exertion to conserve
tranquility in the far East In
these peaceful aims we signified our
assent to the proposals of the Japanese
government to revise agreements
regarding Korean affairs between the
two governments* The negotiations
begun on this subject were not brought
to a conclusion and Japan, not awaiting
the iast responsive proposal of our
government. declared negotiations
broken off and diplomatic relations
with Russia dissolved. Without advising
us that a breach of such relations
would mean the opening of warlike operations,
the Japanese government ordered
its torpedo boats to attack suddenly
our squadron in the outer harbor
of Port Arthur. Upon receiving
reports from the Viceroy of the far
Ea?t about this, we immediately commanded
him to answer the Japanese
challenge with an armed force.
"Making known this our decision,
and with firm expectation of and reliance
upon the unanimous willingness
of all our loyal subjects to stand with
us in defense of the Fatherland, we
ask God's blessing upon our stalwart
