that they have cut adrift from the

reticent in staling that much of their
labor troubles are directly due to the
way their Interests have been handled
by the stevedores'of the port. A fur

laborers; tobacco wEI be stowed for 90

Immediately resumed on the levee by

OHLNBSF, DBFHlUnjD.
TVaShlngton, March 1.—The general
deficiency bill, the last but one of the
thirteen great appropriation bills
which congr.ss has to pass every ses
sion, occupied the attention, of the
senate tod'ay. There was but one im
portant amendment reported by thj
committee on appropriations and that
appropriated (1,809,539 to pay a Judg
ment In favor of 'he Southern FuclAc
Railroad Company for government
tranaportoltion. This Item provok 'd
very strong opposition and would prob
ably have experienced the fate which
has overtaken It every seslon for
many years back, had it not been
accidentally fortified -by an amendment
to It for the payment of about one-holf
the Judgments of the courts of claims
under the French spolllatlon act, aiul
which Is known as the Bynum act.
(900,000) had 'been curried and attach d
to the measure, and then the amend
ment, as anus amended, was eiBla
by a vote of 32 to 24. The question of
nepotism was started by an amend
ment offered by Mr. Munderson, to the
effeot that the wives and daughters
at senators or representatives should
rot be borne on the rolls as clerks,
and Mr. Mandeison availed himself
of the opportunity of giving bis opin
ion in that not very unusual practice.
Ihe only Important amendment add 1
to the deficiency bill was one for the
acquisition of the Mahone lot as t r.te
for the governmmrt priming office. It
was ruled out on a point of order by
the presiding officer, Mr. Faulkner,
and the senate reversed the ruling.
Tho senate refusd to lay It on the
table—20 to 31-urtd then the opponents
at the proposition gave up the ii^nt
nnd the amendment was ad-Tte-l.
The question of the Behring Sea In
demnity fund ewne up no two ,. ,a-
glons .today—first on .1 n's .hri .:i ..f-
fored by Mr. <W r.'.n (Democrn!) of
Aldbomi.1. to refer the matter t.. the
comenh.toe on foreign rdlallons with in
structions to Inquire »li. tn-r H ere
I |e wh.it "lax end,
on the pari of 'the United Stales.
This resolution was briefly but point
edly • ! s-u 1 ami then went overfbn
S'. .,..! time that ir .-Vino up It was in
tlie -I, of an .nirendment offer, d bv-
| Mr. Oockrell go ■ o ■■ 1. M tp-
arbttratlou as t. the indemnity. Thu
was airtagonlze.1 y Mr. Shorn in m
an unwise proposition, whfab would re
sult In niuch larger cost to tho govern
ment and In weakening the principle
of international arbitration. He offen d
a substitute for It—to pay (425,000,
which was agreed upon by the secre
tary of state.
Mr. Morgan, who had been a delegate
to the original Bering Sea conference
at Paris, declared that such payment
would be disgraceful to the adminis
tration and to the people of the United
Slates. Mr. Cockrell, In order to avoid
a long discussion, withdrew the amend
ment, and .Mr. Sherman's substitute
fell with It. And so me deficiency bill
contains no Item on the subject of the
Behring sea Indemnity.
