2 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. H. H. MULLIN, Editor. Published Every Thursday. TERMS OP SUBSCRIPTION. Per year f2 (10 If paid in advance 1 •>»ld> Hill—Or mil lid* of llie Peo ple. [Special Correspondence.] Judging* from the manner in which congress has disposed of important measures during the first third of the short session, it looks a* though the fear of an extra session was ground less. To he sure, the house is the branch that has disposed of the great est amount of work, and that the sen ate has done but little more than get the Hay-Pauneefote treaty out of the way. l!ut there is every reason to be lieve that the army reorganization bill will soon come up for consideration in the senate, although no man is able to say how long it will be under dis cussion. There is some talk, now, that it. may prove to be necessary to ex tend the present law for another couple of years, in order to avoid, in the senate, the somewhat endless de bate which some think will be sure to follow the consideration of the reor ganization bill. * * * When congress reconvenes it will be Interesting to note the outcome of the maneuvering that will occur in the senate on the part of those who desire to secure precedence for the army bill, and those who stoutly maintain that the shipping bill, which has the right of way. should preserve its position. In view of the rumors' —none of which can be confirmed —of opposition to the latter measure on the part of repub licans. a test vote on what measure shall be given the right of way will probably disclose, or rather "smoke out" the latent opposition to the ship ping bill, if there is any. * • * The statement now is that two or tltree senators, whose terms expire With the 4th of March, and who are al ready assured of defeat in their effort for reelection, will band themselves together in order to prevent a vote on the shipping bill. Senator Pettigrew has been quoted in an interview pub lished in the Herald, of New York, that lie will lead in a campaign of filibuster ing ajrainst the merchant marine bill. He is quoted as saying that if it is the desire of the administration to pass the bill in question, it will lie necessary for the president to call an extra session of congress to accomplish it. * * * It cannot be doubted that such a course as is thus proposed will revive the discussion of the need of applying the cloture rule in the senate —a rule by which a vote can be taken, after a reasonable amount of time has been given to the discussion of any measure. As it is now. under the so-called "sen atorial courtesy" procedure, any sen ator may indefinitely postpone a vote on any measure, if he chooses to occupy the time of the senate in speaking on it. If senators revive such tactics, and which involved, when filibustering was last resorted to. a reading of long* chap ters from encyclopedias, and from other great tomes, nothing can he done, as the rules now are. to prevent them. # » * Some time or another this sort of horse play in the United States senate will be "played out." While a reason able amount of time for a full discussion of important legislation is desirable and wi*e. it is quite contrary to the wishes of the people and to the inter ests of the country for an irresponsible minority—or a few of such a minority, who have already been repudiated by the votes of their constituents to block important legislation. And if this matter has to be fought to an is sue in the senate, it may as well be done this year, as in any other, extra session or not. Tf it is not. responsible government actually ceases to exist. • • * It may be that the shipping bill, as well as any other measure, will do to apply the test of reasonable debate to the proceedings of the senate. Here is a measure that seeks to establish an American maritime policy, under which American ships will succeed to the car rying of our exports and imports. It is shown that sl7s.ooo,t: to the Bryan silver policy? Has Mr. Bryan learned nothing as the result of two decisive defeats? His position may be attributed very just ly to the intense ardor and the sin cerity with which he clings to his views, to the exclusion of all consid erations of practical conditions or ex pediency. His honesty in this posi tion is unquestioned, and in sticking to the path of duty as he sees it no one can condemn him. But it is to be regretted that the plain fact that the American people are afraid of fantastic economic and financial schemes and will not ex periment with them should not have been grasped by Mr. Bryan. The cam paign of 1896 may have been but a "first battle:" similarly, the cam paign of 1900 may be regarded as a second battle. After what number of unsuccessful battles will Mr. Bryan be content to admit that the judg ment of the majority is unalterably against his financial theories? —Chi- cago Record (Ind.). NO FRIEND IN THE LOBBY. Sennlnr Ultima'* Shipping Hill Li \ol Viewed with Favor l»y For etgn Comiia n leu. When Senator llanna was informed of the extensively circulated report that a powerful lobby was working in Washington to bring about the passage of the shipping subsidy bill, he replied that the only lobby of which he knew anything was that employed by foreign steamship com panies to defeat the bill if possible. There was no desire on the part of the friends of the bill to force it through, he said; they wished it tc become law on its merits. Those persons who pretend to re gard Senator Hanna as a man who ff actuated by ulterior motives in all that he does or says will proceed to sneer at- this statement of his, just as they have been sneering at every thing that he has said on any sub ject. They will impute to him disre gard for veracity, in accordance with their habit. But fair-minded persons, whether they are of Mr. Hanna's po litical party or not, will recognize and appreciate the force of what he says. The foreign steamship companies which are at present receiving some thing like a hundred' millions of dol lars each year for furnishing trans portation to American commerce are naturally the ones most interested in the bill. Its passage means the grad ual, and ultimately total, loss of im mense revenue. To existing Ameri can steamship companies the passage of the bill means but a moderate in crease of revenue, limited in duration and liable to decrease during its con tinuance. Does, anyone believe that, American companies consider it worth the while to engage high priced lobbyists to make efforts to promote the bill, which efforts would be likely to defeat their intended pur pose rather than to accomplish it? Does anyone doubt that the foreign companies will put forth every effort and goto large expense, in order to defeat the measure if possible? The eyes of the American) people will be upon those who vote against the bill when the vote is taken: not upon those who vote for it.—Albanj' Journal. lE?"Those democrats who are saving that if "the Cleveland crowd" comes back in the democratic party they must take back seats may overesti mate the number of such scats.

II IK Full of I.oophole* Through Which Hie Cclcktlula ICVIHIC tUr Object* Sought bv ll* Frallicrft. Washington, Jan. 9. Representa tive Jenks. of Wisconsin, has report ed to the house a bill agreed upon by tin- judiciary committee, designed to correct some of the abuses existing under the Chinese exclusion act. The legislation proposed was favored l>y the attorney general and is the out growth of conditions which have pre vailed in northern New York, as a result of which it is alleged that many Chinamen have succeeded in unlawfully entering the United States. The attention of the com mittee. according to an accompany ing report, was called to the matter in a letter received from District At torney Curtis, of the northern district of New York, which district he says is being overrun with Chinamen com ing into the country in violation of the law. They are made up of two classes, the first of merchants and labore-s who have a lawful right to enter the United States and who come through the custom houses and are admitted without trouble. The other class. Mr. Curtis says, has no right to en ter. They are either smuggled across the border, or come openly to the border to be taken before a commis sioner for trial. Since the supreme court decision that persons born of Chinese parentage in the United States are citizens and entitled tore enter without certificates, the num ber eoming under the pretense of having been born here has constant ly increased. More than 300 Chinamen crossed the border into Franklin county last year and were taken before Commis sioner Paddock at Maione for trial. The government, however, failed to secure any deportations to stieni. in the trials before Commissioner Paddock. "I took personal charge of a num ber of cases before him in July and August," says the district attorney, "and in my opinion iuany of his rul ings were erroneous.' The district attorney says it is highly important that the govern ment be clothed with power to direct that these prosecutions be instituted before such commissioner in the dis trict as it may select, and one of the amendments proposed by the bill has this object in view. The district at torney further says: "Th- efforts of the government are being circum vented by the sheriff, bis deputies and by the United States commis sioner at Maione. While endeavor ing to get the cases before other commissioners, 1 have been informed that parties who are steering the Chinamen notify the sheriff of Frank lin county at what point on the bor der they can be found and he or his deputies goto the border and receive them and then institute complaint before Commissioner Paddock." A NEW COMBINE. Amalgamation of American, ICncllnli and Canadian Merl Companies I* Planned. London. Jan. 11. —The negotiations toward the formation of another American iron and steel combination which have been carried on recently in London, reached a point last even ing where their culmination became practically assumed. The companies intending to amalgamate are the Can adian Steel Co., the Lake Superior Power Co.. the American Sheet Steel Co., the Oiis Steel Co., the Pittsburg Steel Co. and the Wellman-Seaver Co., of Cleveland. Combined with these, if the deal is completed, will be sev eral Knglish firms. It is the intention of the projectors to erect plants at various places, with the Wei land can»il as an outlet. The object is to minimize expenses and, acting with the Knglish co-op erators, to secure markets here and elsewhere. The project, may be termed an Knglish-American-Canadian combina tion to take advantage of existing opportunities. It is freely discussed in the Knglish press. The reason for holding the meeting in London was that Knglish capital and trade are desired. The capitalization has not yet been decided upon. LARGEST IN THE WORLD. Pipe and Tube Work* to be Krccted at (onnraul Harbor, 0., by tlie Car* nestle Co. Pittsburg, Jan. 9. —In explanation of the extensive land purchases of the Carnegie Co. at Conneaut Harbor, 0., President Schwab yesterday made clear the plans of the company with respect to these purposes. Mr. Schwab states that for over a year the Carnegie Co. has contemplated entering into lines of manufacture other than those in which it has been engaged hitherto, and the first step in carrying out this purpose is to be taken' at once by the establishment of the largest pipe and tube manu facturing plant in the world at Con neaut Harbor, which is the Lake Erie terminal of Carnegie's Pittsburg, Bes semer & Lake Krie railroad, 153 miles from Pittsburg. The company has purchased 5,000 r.eres of land immediately east of the Cpnneaut Harbor docks and a large part of this large tract will be uti lized as a site for the tube works. The works will stretch over a mile of the lake front and will be the most extensive plant of its kind in every branch ever built. The investment, exclusive of ground, will reach about $12,000,000. Niece* Content (lie Will. New York, Jan. 9.—Two nieces o| David Harnett, who died in this city on January 1, 1900, leaving an estate valued at $350,000, have begun suit in the Kings county supreme court to have the provisions of the will de feated and to prevent Archbishop Corrigan or his successor in the Ro man i atholic see of New York from receiving $107,500 which was lie bequeathed to the archbishop by Mr. Harnett. The nieces, who were not mentioned in the wilt, hope to break it on the ground that the bequest to tlie church is contrary to law. Thf I'rolrHlona lllr>l»nrr.
