The Spooner Amendment Sub-stlted for the House Measure' 42 to 34 Conferreea Appointed. WASHINGTON. June 19. The Senate today declared in favor of constructing the Isthmian Canal on the Panama route It nrcticable, and the leaders of the House predict that that body eventually will come.

around to the Senate a way ox looiang at the matter. The word eventually In this connection does not mean next month, but tome time before the close of this session of Congress. The House' leaders may be rciitaken In their Judgment of what the attitude of the House will be after the lapse of a few days, but they- talk confidently about a final settlement of the canal Question before the Fourth of July. The action of the Senate came- through the substitution of the Spooner amendment to tbe House trill for the bill itself. This substitute authorises the President-to build on the Panama route if he can get good title to its properties from the Panama company and proper concessions from the Government of Colombia.

The yea and nay Tote In favor of the substitution was 42 to SI. On the final passage of the amended bill the vote was 67 to 6, the negative votes being given by Senators Bate, Cockrell. Daniel, Dubois, Pettus, and Vest. At soon as the vote was announced, Mr. Morgan, in order to expedite business, moved that the Senate Insist on Us amendment and ask for a conference.

The motion prevailed, and the Chair appointed Senators Morgan, Hanna. and Klttredge conferreea on the part cf the Senate, the last two being strong Panama men. The amended bill will get back to the House to-morrow, and the prevailing expectation is that the House will not concur Immediately In the Senate amendment, but instead of that will grant the conference asked for by the Senate. If the House conferreea should be appointed according to custom, they would be Mr. Hepburn and Mr.

Sherman. Republicans, and Mr. Adamson, Democrat. least two of these gentlemen, Messrs. Hepburn and Adamson.

are at present Nicaragua men. And tbe assumption la that they would fce against yielding to the Senate conferreea. Precisely what Mr. Sherman would do Is not known. Possibly he would Join tbe Hepburn-Adamson contingent.

In any event, in case of a conference. would astonish the House If its conferrees should report In favor of agreeing to the Senate amendment. Mr. Hepburn said this nfternxm that he did not think the House would concur in lbs Senate amendment, and Mr. Adamson was aggressively out spoken as an opponent to the Panama route.

Precisely what the House leaders expect happen after thelrt conferrees report disagreement they do not disclose. How far Mr. Hepburn will carry his oppo sition to the Panama route Is uncertain. Really It Is Mr. Hepburn who will block legislation this session If there shall be no legislation, few persons doubt that it is' in his power to lead the House Into concurrence with the Senate.

It Is possible he may not be able to prevent concurrence; the measure of his capacity as a stumbling block Is net absolutely known. But as Chairman of the committee which reported tbe Hepburn bill to the House, and as tbe person whom the House recognizes as the father of the Hepburn bill. It Is com monly thought he could swing the House into agreement with the Senate If be would. Of course, there Is disposition on the part of a largj number of the Democratic members of the House to stick to Nicara-- gua because the word. Nicaragua Is used in tbe last Democratic platform In the declaration relating to the building of an isthmian canal.

But there also is a strong body of Democrats In the House who believe the Panama route to be the better route. Mr. Hepburn therefore would not run up Against a practically solid Democratic opposition if he should move to concur in the Senate amendment. The situation would be quite different from that In the Senate, where the Democratic Senators polled pretty near their party Vote against tbe Spooner amendment, mak lng a political question of the canal If Mr. Hepburn should swing practically the solid vote of his party In favor of concurrence the chances are the Democrats pretty generally would vote the seme way because, if they should not.

they would be charged in the Fall campaign with having done wbat they could to prevent legisla tion providing for the building of a canaL The question has arisen whether there will be an effort to override Mr. Hepburn In the House in case he tried to prevent concurrence with tbe Senate. In that event the attitude of the Democrats might be the deciding factor. It is not Improb able that a combination of Democrats and of Republicans, following Mr. Hepburn's leadership would outnumber tbe combina tion of Democrats and Republicans favor ing the Panama route.

Tbe House leaders think Panama would win. Failure of the House and Senate to agree before the adjournment of Congress would not necessarily Imply that the canal question would go over to the next Congress. Upon the reconvening of Congress la December the conferrees again would take up Coattaue Pas 8. INDEX TO DEPARTMENTS. 6tof Financial' Marketay-Pages Wheat.

The call Issued by President John Mitchell for a convention of the United Mine Workers of "America in Indianapolis on July IT has aroused the apprehensions of operators as to the future In the bituminous coalfields. Officers of the Illinois districts have advised the operators that they will oppose a strike, but what thcdelegates who are sent to the convention wiU do remains to bs seen Illinois miners generally. It Is believed, favor living up to the contract entered Into with the operators last March, but tbe appeal for assistance from the anthracite fields may be of sufficient strength to compel them to disregard their agreements, Efforts to obtain the sentiments of the miners In the southern part of the State in dicate that many of the men are averse to quitting at this time and will seek to avoid It Railroads obtaining coal from the South ern section have placed heavy orders and a large force of miners Is engaged In filling them at the present time. At least one of the Northern roads which hitherto has ob tained tbe largest part of Its supply from Iowa has entered the Illinois field with a heavy order. The anxiety of the railroads to secure a heavy supply Is believed to have 'been caused by the possibility of a sympathetic strike In tbe West "WILKES BARRE.

June 19. The arrival of President W. R. Russell and Secretary-Treasurer W. Ryan of the Illinois miners' organisation for a conference with National President Mitchell waa the only event of any importance around strike headquarters to-day.

The two Illinois leaders arrived at 8 o'clock and Immediately went Into conference with their chief. President Mitchell, after the meeting, said the Illinois men came to see him for tbe purpose of discussing Western mining matters." When he was asked what particular matters were talked over and whether business connected with the coming special National convention waa considered, he replied thae-be would prefer not to say anything more. Neither Mr. Russell nor Mr. Ryan had anything to say beyond the statement that they felt satisfied with the situation both Easf and W'es.

left for their homes late to-ntrht. There is not the slightest doubt that the Illinois officials brought Information to Mr. Mitchell which will be of use to him in connection with tbe Indianapolis meeting. Information has reached here through dif ferent sources that the soft coal miners In the West are not unanimous for a general strike, and some of them, it is said, are against a partial suspension. Those men who oppose a strike are willing to give financial aid to the anthracite strikers, but some of the leaders are not ready to accept this sort of ald.

In the Spring of 1900, when a strike levy of 25 cents a month for each member of the Unltad Jdlne Workers was made, there were only three State ergsTilsatlons that responaea in run: tney were lows, Illinois, and There Is now a strike tax of 10 cents a month for each member- in force, but as far as can be learned this Is not being paid in full by all tbe districts in the country. For this reason the leadeis wouia ramer nave tne bituminous miners either strike or nartlv suspend onerations. President Mitchell received information to-day from est Virginia, which, he says, indicates tbat the strike there is Droarresa- lng most favorably. He says that more men are now out in that territory than at any other time since the strike in the Virginias began. Large gains have been made, he said, along the line of the Norfolk and western Kawroaa.

The canvass to bring out all the enrf neers, firemen, snd pump runners who have failed to respond to the strike order goes steadily on. Additional men are per suaded each day to quit, but the coal com panles say they always have men on hand to fin tneir places. HAZLETON. June 19. After In vestigating tbe action or the firm of Kem merer District President Duffy an nounced late to-day that the engineers, firemen, and pump runners bad been granted the eight-hour day In accordance with the demand of the mine workers, and that this class of employes at Sandy Run would be permitted to return to work under the new scneauie.

PITTSBURG. June 19. The sentiment among the officials as well as the rank and file of the United Mine Workers In the Pittsburg district is apparently opposed to a general strike. Secretary Doda said tonight that contracts between operators and men ror tne year nave oeen aignea ana should not be broken. CUMBERLAND.

June 19. Agitators are at work among the miners of the Georges Creek region, looking to the selec tion of delegates to tne tndianapous miners" convention favorable to a xeneral strike. The region is thoroughly organized. Tbe younger element, it is said, are favorable to a general shut-down. The older men seem to desire conservative action.

ROANOKE. June 19. Norfolk and Western Railway officials asserted to-day that the situation in the Pocahontas coal fields showed some improvement. Three hundred and seventy-five cars of coal were loaded yesterdsy, which Is a gain of forty cars over the previous day. A number of the mines are working many more men than on any day since the strike was declared.

Re garding the strike situation, since the call for a National convention was Issued, operators here to-night authorised the follow lng statement: The latest move of the United Mine Workers by their executive officers is not causing us the slightest uneasiness. We are in the fight to stay.

Such a call as that Issued Js the best evidence that the United Mine Workers cannot be considered as a responsible body with which an agreement can be made, because the calling of the convention is proof positive that any agreements made are made with a secret reservation. "The naming of so late a date as July 17 we look upon as a sign that the officers of the union believe the fight Is lost, and they are now only calling the convention In order to preserve the union from falling to pieces right away. So far as we are whatever Is the action of the National convention no concessions of any kind will be made to the union." A $5,000,000 Cutlery Plant SHcUl li Tki Ntw Yarh Timtt. PITTSBURG, June 19.

June will be a battalion of the First Regiment from Newark here to-night to do guard duty about the silk The Mayor to-night yielded against bis own best judgment to the demand oil the mill owners that troops be called. I A delegation representing the mill own ers callejl on the Mayor this evening 'and demanded protection. The Mayor replied that he Iwas affording it To this It was replied that the force was too small, and would be overridden by a mob of any slse.

That It was Impossible to concentrate any great number of men at any point, that a large portion of the Deputy Sheriffs were green hands and unreliable. It was pointed out that the mill hands were afraid to work, ai that to-day those who worked were In i lomentary fear of attack and their efflctenc: was- spoiled. After mucn sucb talk the Mayor finally decided tb ask Gov. Murphy for a battalion of soldiers. They are to act as guards to the mills In greatest danger and thus re lieve the Ipollce.

The catling out of the troops Is looked upon wit disfavor generally, as It is feared that the weavers and other branches of the silk trad i will refuse to work under armed guard, aid that a complete shut-down of the silk 1 idustry will come before sundown. Gov. XI urpby at midnight ordered a part of the rat Regiment of Infantry and the entire Pi rst Troop to Peterson to preserve order.

The Ne Tork police have been asked to aid In search for these three men and others 10 were prominent In Wednesday's riots.

The su spenslon by Mayor Hlncbcllff or Chief of Police Fred C. Graul took place early th morning. The Chief was summarily (moved from office by a formal order set out from the Mayor's office. Concert ilng his action the Mayor said: Chief Graul's work for some time has been urn atlstactory. and It has been very bard to i any satisfaction from him.

He had plen ty of warning yesterday morning early tha there was likelihood of a general strike, a id he ought to have known what It mean He should have had his men ready, a id they were not ready to cope with th mob, yet they made a gallant fight ant deserve a great deal of praise. I am now Chief of Police of this city. and will I remain as such until all signs of trouble are over. I will not' permit any more meetings in this city Unless they sre executive, and then onlr under condition that the police are allowed Inside to see that there Is no talk of violence. We will see what can be done to restore the good name of the city.

This afternoon the real reason why Msyor Hknchellff lost all patience with Chief-Grkul became known. Testerday, when the rioting became serl oua, the Mayor, over the telephone, ordered the chief! to arm the firemen with revolvers and clues. Tbe chief protested that it would bad policy. The Mayor Issued an order! Then the chief protested he had no weapons. The Mayor ordered that they be lnstaatly purchased, and cartridges as well.

Tfen It appears the chief yielded. but in place of sending some one to make the purchases he went himself around to hardwarl stores to buy the revolvers. He took then to the station house and ieft. He did riot return. While the chief was buying the revolvers he stopped to talk with a mill owner who demanded protection.

He replied that peo ple werd getting excited over nothing. wnue nfc was talking a patrol wagon loaded tMitn men aasneo past; and a mo-, ment latir a trolley car taken possession of by the men who could not get into the wagon flfew past, but the chief did nothing. Had the Mayor's action and firm stand been mo; generally known earlier In the morning It Is probable that all the mills and all tie operatives would have been at work aa usual. As It was, however, a few of the smaller mills did not dare open, fear ing a repetition of the troubles of yester day, andl In the mills that did open there would hkve been more hands at work. Practically all of the weavers were at work by noon.

The women formed the bulk of the absentees this morning. Practically all the men were on hand and all mn umMi.

To them the Mayor said that yesterday's violence vas a result of a meeting such as they proposed. The authorities were at that time unprepared to cope with the trouble; to-day, towever, any attempt at violence would be met with a determined frant.

yes terday succeeded In creating a great deal of trouble and in getting themselves into serious difficulty. There was a desperate hand-to-hand fight at Union Hill between a mob, lead by a number of notorious Pater son Reds and the police. The strikers hurled stones and missiles of every sort obtainable, and several of the officers were Injured, The police swung their clubs vigorously, and from tbe unorganised ranks of the disturbers man after man dropped la his tracks, and was either picked up and carried back by his comrades or left to be bustled off to the police station. -One skirmish was particularly fierce. When the mob -was driven back momen tarily fifteen of the rioters were stretched upon the ground.

Later two other strikers were arrested, making a total of seventeen persons In the police station last night. Just after the fjerce skirmish between the police and rioters took place, the- mob. driven back for a moment, renewed the charge with great force. The forwara movement was concerted, and the handful of officers, under Capt, Knight, was swept back in tbe direction of the mill, which the police were endeavoring to protect. It seemed for a few minutes that tbe Infuriated mob would overcome the officers.

Just at that moment an Alderman turned In a fire alarm. The entire Fire Department responded. The mob vacillated and permitted the wagons and engines to pass. and then closed into line again. Then they pressed forward on the police.

When their services were most needed, the firemen showed their band. From eight nozzles great streams of water gusbod forth almost simultaneously. They were turned on mob, and the strikers Were drenched to the skin. This did not seem to cool their ardor, however. The most enthusiastic Insisted on continuing the charge, for they were then near the mllL Hut they could not stand In front of the streams.

They were literally swept off their feet, and sent rolling in the muddy streets. There was a scramble, and the rioters fled In all directions. Several policeman were hurt In the fight. Patrolman Menges had his left arm rendered useless, but with it hanging limp at his side he retained his place ty his fellow-officers and continued the fight.

It was this mill that was so bravely defended against bis: by the police and fire men yesterd: A delegation of Paterson dye workers went first to West Hoboken yesterday morning, and found there one mill, at Paterson Avenue and West Street, running. Organising a email mob of discontented they marched to the mill shortly after 7 o'clock. A representative delegate asked the Superintendent to shut down. He refused. The mob grew larger and more threatening.

The police were called by telephone, and Officers Schaumburg and Rohrhaek resDonded. There was a hurried consultation while the rabble waited Impatiently outside, growing more noisy and demonstrative, within half an hour it was decided that little was to be gained by running tbe mill, the machinery was shut down, the employes sent home, and the doors closed. Jubilant over their first victory the Pet erson leaders, with a number of local ad herents, pressed on toward union Hill. They had received word that Simorv'e mill waa running. They had determined to k-close it down.

Arriving at tbe mill a spokesman asked Mr. Bimon to snut hnn at once. Mr. Simon said that be ha enough dyed stock on band to continue working, but that if his handa wanted to quit wora tney were ai iioeny to.no ao. This did not sausry uie iinntn.

Police Captain Knight with several officers hurried to the avenue and took up a position about a block from the mill. They were concealed back of a house, and as the strikers approached the officers leaped Into the avenue In front of the mob and commanded tbem to disperse.

Will Suspend Diplomatic Relations If It Is Not Rescinded Interview With the 1 Concesslonnalre. WASHINGTON, June 18. It became offi cially known to-day that the Brsslllsn Government has conveyed to the Govern ment of.

Bolivia notification tbat If tbe contract for the lease of the territory In the Acre region to a British-American syn dicate Is not rescinded, diplomatic rela tions will be Immediately suspended, and every obstacle will be placed la the way of developing the territory la question through the affluents of the Amason running Into Brazil, According to Information conveyed at the same time, a filibustering movement Is on foot In the State of Amaxonas. BraxtL with a view to the invasion of the territory said to have been turned over by Bojlvla to the syndicate, and the organisation of a revolution In that locality. While the Information contained In the foregoing dispatch is of a 'most serious nature, the I news that Brazil has given notice of her Intention to do all In her power to thwart the plans of the Amer ican capitalists who are Interested In the development of. the 'Acre region Is not al together unexpected. Less than a week ago Baron Rio Branoo, the Brazilian Min ister to Germany, having learned that an endeavor was being made to Interest Ber lin capitalists In the new enterprise, issued a warning to Investors, declaring that any connection with It would entail considerable risk, as the boundaries of the Province of "Acre were In dispute, both Brazil and Peru claiming a portion of that territory.

He declared that negotiations between Brazil and Bolivia concerning the matter were still being conducted. While reference is made In the foregoing Washington dispatch and in cable dispatches previously to a syndicate." no company has yet been formed either In this country or In Europe for the development of the Acre region. Tbe concessions from the Government of Bolivia were obtained by F. W. Wbltrldge of this city.

Mr. Whitrldge was seen at his home, 14 East Eleventh Street, last evening by a Tiaras reporter, and spoke as follows concerning his connection with the plan to develop Acre and the dispute between Bolivia and Brazil concerning the boundary: At present I am tha sole concessionaire, my rights having been secured by act of the Bolivian Congress, passed at a special session of that body. Of course, a number of wealthy Americans are Interested In tbe project, and. while no syndicate or corporation of any kind has been formed yet. it Is likely that a company may be Incorporated later In the 8tate of New Jersey.

Naturally. I am sorry to hear tbat Brazil has taken such an extreme attitude In regard to this matter; but at the same time I am not greatly surprised. I know the feel ing in that country with regard to all things American, and know tbe special reasons why the people of Amaxonas would be willing to resort to almost any means In order to endeavor to thwart any proposed settle- ntent by Americans In this territory. If yon consult a map of the westers portion of Brazil you win find that the Acre territory Is practically a triangle, one angle of which is formed at the meeting place of the boundaries of both Peru and Bolivia with, tbat portion of Brazil which Is known as the state or Amaxonaa. "This triangle of land Is watered try some twelve or fifteen rivers, many of which pass over the boundary of Bolivia into Brazilian territory.

call attention to this fact because these rivers are the means by which the enormous supply of rubber which exists In Acre may be transported to the outside world. At the present time the Bolivian Government has Custom Houses on but two of these rivers, the Purus and the Madeira. Consequently, for years past. It has been customary for the Brazil tans from Amaxonas to go up one or the other of the rivers on which there are no Custom Houses and to poach all the rubber that they without bothering the Customs people at all. When tell you that a section of the concession which gives to the concessionaire the ''administration of the Acre territory allows mm to collect customs tolls on all these rivers, you will understand one or the reasons why the people of Aroazones are so Indignant and threaten invasion.

Now, concerning this dispute, or alleged dispute, about the boundary line. treaty was signed between Brazil and Bolivia la the sixties, fixing the line as running from a fixed point on the Madeira River (the point Is at Madeira Falls) to a point on the Javart River. In 1874 a dispute arose as to the exact location of this point near the source of the Javart. and a line was run to determine 1C Later Brazil entered protest. and another surrey was made, and tt was moved slightly south.

Three years ago a Joint commission wss appointed, and the flnal'decislon Was greed to by both countries! Whether this finally disposed of the matter In so far aa Brazil waa concerned may best be Judged by the following extract from the second message Dr. Man- oel Feras de Campos Bailee, President of Brazil, to the Brazilian Congress In June. 1900: 4 By means of a protocol signed here on Oct. 30 last year, 1800, the dispute between Brazil and Bolivia as to the source of tbe Javarl River was satisfactorily set It so happened that on my last visit to England, from which country returned but recently, met the surveyor who was engaged on the work when each of the three lines was run. He assured me that there could be no dispute as to Bollvia'a right to all the territory south of the points at which her present Custom Houses are established, It remains to ask what I am going to do about tbe present situation.

I cannot see that can do anything. Certainly am not In a position to go to war with Brazil to protect my righta. and tbe con cessions which have been made to me. Reaad Trie Tlekete te Callfaaaii At all Uckat afflcaa. offarlns alvsralty of routas going- aaa muniini, nirmro aaa Nona- WMtara.

I would prefer to ask what the Government of the United States Is going to do shout It. It Is not likely that It will coerce Brazil. although a former Administration expressed Itself very plainly concerning Its right to act In such a manner on the continent of America If It chose. But think that at least, when' American property la endangered, we may hope that a gentlel utlmsv-tfjn that It would scarcely be fitting for Brazil to act in so high-handed a manner with a weaker neighbor, or some such message, couched In diplomatic language, may be conveyed from Washington. I believe that the State Department regards our enterprise with friendly eyes, and shall hope that the difficulty may be arranged.

Of course the Brazilians don't want us down there. Tbat Is not to be wondered sL They love neither us nor our methods. But think that the concession which has been granted will be worked, Mvertheleaa."
