SACIIAMaCKTO, FRIDA*. JUJNji IT, TITT2 2 DAILY RECORD-UNION meet it than ISSUED BY THE Street, Senator White has written to the San Francisco "Chronicle" a long letter, the sum and substance of which is a denial that Mr. White is serving the Hawaiian sugar trust in opposing annexation. If he is not consciously doing what is charged then the Senator is exceedingly insensible to the effect of his opposition and the sugar trust is very fortunate in having an advocate it does not have to pay. Mr. White attempts to make a point in his own favor that he proposed and advocated a tax upon the trust in the war revenue bill. But he neglects to add that when the war revenue bill came to a final vote his name was recorded against it, and there it stands upon the roll call of the Senate to-day. Mr. White attempts to absolve himself from the instruction of the Legislature that elected him, by saying that when a matter of principle is involved he permits no one to instruct him how he shall vote. This amounts to admission Mr. that Senator White represents White, and that so far as he is concerned the people of California are unrepresented in the Senate of the United between J and K.

We believe that it will be an eminently wise act, that the nation will never have occasion to regard it with any regret, and that future generations will feel and express gratitude to that of to-day that so great and needful a work was done. American influence in Hawaii, with annexation, will begin a growth of expansion that will rapidly push back and finally overcome and absorb all others. The superior mind and activity will dominate as it always does where the fittest comes into competitive contact with the less fit. THE WARNINGS OF THE FATHERS.

But the amazing part of the Senator's i letter is his disclosure of the astound! ing "fact"?it must be verity since he so asserts?that the sugar trust is fighting under cover, and is really in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. We confess that this comes like a peal of thunder out of a clear sky. t It fairly takes away We will not hereCalifornia breath. after be able to trust the evidence of our own sf*nses. We recall the fact that a few months ago when the beet sugar wave was passing over this State, that the agents and friends of the sugar trust were out in the open, attempting to secure the passage of resolutions by Chambers of Commerce and citizens' sugar meetings, against the annexation of Hawaii, an | attempt in which they signally failed. ! But according to Mr. White that effort iwas a mere dream, a gauzy thing of unreality, or else it was shrewd un the part of the trust to accomplish an end they were avowedly interested in defeating.

SICSAMENTO PUBLISHING COMPANY Otfloe: Third when we had the oldand weapons. style of warships : I , *' HIS GREAT FIGHT FOR THE DEBRIS COMMISSION. He Meets and Congressman the Wily From Illinois, Defeats Mr. Cannon. In the House of Representatives on the Bth inst. there was a lively debate upon the proposition to bring the Federal Government and the State of California Into harmony for the expenditure by each of $250,000 for improvement of the Sacramento River and its tributaries by construction of works to restrain the deposition of debris in the rivers. We give below the full debate from the "Congressional Record," that readers of the "Record-Union" may understand the ditficultles under which Congressman DeVries labors in getting legislation through Congress for work related to rivers in California. The opposition was led by Mr. Canno of Illinois, the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the most important of all legislative committees. Against him were pitted Congressman DeVries of this district, who, aided by completely several of his colleagues, overthrew the objections of Mr. Cannon, which, had they prevailed, would have defeated legislation upon the subject for this Congress. It will be observed that Representative DeVries handled the matter in a masterly way, that his presentation of the subject had the strength of simplicity and lucidity, and that he succeeded in carrying the House with him against the most powerful influence that could be marshaled on the subject in the House of Representatives. The entire debate will well repay reading, because it involves a subject of so much interest in this State, and illustrates the work of getting Federal legislation in motion for California, and likewise the readiness and skill with which the Representative from this district meets opposition to legislation for California interests. The Speaker?The question is on the motion of the gentleman from California to recede and concur in the Senate amendment. The motion was agreed to. The next amendment was read, as follows: "Page 7b\ after line two, insert: For the purpose of carrying out the following provision of the River and Harbor Act of 1896: 'For the construction of restraining barriers for the protection of the Sacramento and Feather Rivers in California, $290,000, such restraining barriers to be constructed under the direction of the Secretary of War in accordance with the recommendations of the California Commission, Debris pursuant to the provisions of, and for the purposes set forth in Section 25 of the Act of the Congress of the United States, entitled "An Act to create the California Debris Commission and regulate hydraulic mining in the State of California." approved March 1, 1S03; Provided, That the Treasurer of the United States be. and he is hereby, authorized to receive from the State of California, through the Debris Commission of said State, or other officer thereunto duly authorized, any and all sums of money that have have been, or may hereafter be, appropriated by said State for the purposes herein set forth. And said sums, when so received hereby appropriated and for the purposes above named, to be expended in the manner above provided,' and for the further purpose of making available to the United States the appropriation, or any part thereof, made by the provisions of an Act of the Legislature of the State of California, approved March 17, 1597. entitled 'An Act to amend an Act entitled "An Act to provide for the appointment, duties and compensation of a Debris Commissioner, and to make appropriation to be expended under his directions in the discharge of his d.uties as such Commissioner, approved March 24, 1893" and of said amended Act, the Secretary of War is hereby authorized, in the preparation for and the construction of the proposed works authorized and appropriated for by the aforesaid provisions, to enter into an agreement that the contractor shall look solely to the State of California, for one-half of such expense, to be paid out of such appropriation, and the United States shall in no manner be liable for said one-half." Mr. Cannon?l move that the Hous\? insist on its disagreement to this amendment of the Senate. Mr. De Vries arose. The Speaker ?Does the gentleman from Illinois yield to the gentleman from California? Mr. De Vries?l desire to move that the House recede from its disagreement and concur in the Senate amendment. Mr. Cannon? Does the gentleman desire to be heard on that proposition? Mr. De Vries?Yes, sir. Mr. Cannon I yield the gentleman five minutes, and I want to say to the Houce to give attention to this matter, because, while it is not a river and harbor improvement, it is a question of very great importance. Mr. De Vries?Mr. Speaker, I am unable to conceive of any reason why there should be the least opposition to the proposition embraced in this amendment. The history of this proposition is short. In 1890 Congress determined to enter upon the improvement of the Sacramento River, California; and a part of the system of improvement determined upon was the construction of debris dams at the headwaters of that river and its tributaries, particularly the Feather River In accordance with that determination Congress appropriated for the work of constructing debris dams to be constructed in accordance with certain other Federal legislation named. That appropriation was made In 1890 It is available for use for that purpose to-day. and has been so available since the appropriation was made. It was represented by the gentlemen who appeared at Washington in behalf of *hat appropriation that if it should be made the State of California would meet Congress half way, and appropriate a similar sum for the same purpose. Those gentlemen returned to California and the appropriation was made by the State in accordance with their promise. But upon Investigation it was found that that appropriation, being directed to be paid into the Federal Treasury directly by the State Act appropriating the same, could not be so paid under the Constitution of California, and the Act was held unconstitutional by the Attorney General of the State of California. on the this sum was reappropriated by the State Legislature the Act directing it to be expended under direction of the State agents aj by the Constitution of the State required and is now r-o available. Congress had previously provided for the receipt of this R250.000 from the State of California by providing that lt should be paid directly Into the Federal Treasury. But it being found that it could not be so paid by reason of ' ? the constitutional difficulty under the Constitution of California, it was necessary to determine upon some method by which this appropriation made by the State could be availed of for this purpose. Accordingly I addressed the Secretary of War, and the matter was Judge laid before the Advocate General, that he might decide upon some provision of law to be enacted by C ngress, if possible, whereby the State of California could carry out the representations upon which said Federal appropriation was obtained and its desire in the matter, and in such a manner that might avail the Federal Government of the sum of $250,000 now in the State Treasury to meet the turn already in the Federal Treasury for the purpose contemplated. The proposition embraced in this amendment is the result of that opinion. It has been prepared in accordance with the opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the War Department. It was submitted to him after it was prepared; and he approved of its provisions, declaring it was the properenactment to be passed in order that the money now in the treasury of the State of California could be availed of for this purpose. That is a statement of the history of the proposition. The carrying into effect of this amendment will simply enable the Federal Treasury and the War Department to utilize the sum of $250,000 now in the treasury of California, appropriated for the purpose of carrying out this project. It does not take a cent of money from the Federal Treasury. On the contrary, it puts $250,000 into the treasury. It does not hasten the expenditure of 1 cent of money now in the Federal Treasury; but on the contrary, it will delay the expenditure of that money by the use of the money in the treasury of the State of California The law as it stands does not require that the War Department should await any action on the part of the people of California It does not require that this appropriation should be made by the State of California. In the natural course of events, therefore, the officers having charge of this improvement would proceed in accordance with the law and adopt plans for the work, and, when they come to let the contract, would let it in such a way that the money would be drawn from the Federal Treasury alone unless this amendment be carried into effect. Mr. Loud?Will my colleague allow me a question? Mr. De Vries?Yes, sir; with pleasure. Mr. Loud?ls not this amendment simply a provision to permit the use of the $250,000 appropriated by the State of California? Is not that just what this proposition resolves itself into? Mr. De Vries?That is all. It does not take a cent out of the United States Treasury; it does not hasten the use of a cent in the United States treasury; it does not affect the proceedings of the Government engineers in any degree. ?imply It enables the Government engineers when they c-ume to pay for this work to call on the State of California for half of the money, instead of calling on the United States tor the whole of it, and to this extent will reserve the funds in the Federal treasury.

Mr. De Vries ?Now, gentlemen, will observe that the first commission mentioned in the Act referred to which is to report plans is not the Debris Commission. It is a separate and distinct commission, altogether, the functions of which are the improvement of the Sacramento River proper. Two commissions are by the River and Harbor Act of 1596 provided for. The first is to prepare plans and submit them for improvement of the Sacramento River proper, known as the Sacramento River Commission. The second is the California Debris Commission, which is not required to prepare and submit plans as a condition precedent, but into whose hands is placed $250,000 to be expended in the construction of debris dams, and they are directed to proceed with the work.

Mr. De Vries?Oh, no; legislation which committed it to the payment of f the whole amount.

I have in my hand here the River and Harbor Act of 189G, which appropriates for improving Sacramento and Feather Rivers and their tributaries, and authorizes the Secretary to appoint a board of three engineers to make surveys of said rivers and submit a plan for the improvement of said rivers and the navigation thereon, and to have charge of the work as appropriations above recommended are made therefor: "Said board may, under the direction of the Secretary of War, expend any balance now remaining to the credit of said rivers in the improvement of the same."
