The Alabama Senator lay That Action

Washington, December 11 Harris,
President pro tern., called the Senate to
order to-day in the absence of Vice
President Stevenson,' who had not re
turned from Ashevllle, N, C. Call pre
sented a resolution setting forth that the
independence of the Island of Cuba
an object of great Importance to the
United States and requesting the Presl
dent to continence negotiations with
Spain for the recognition of the inde
pendence of the islund and for the guar
antee by the United Slates of the pay'
ment of such a sum of money as shall
lie agreed upon between the United
Slates and Spain. The resolution went
over till to-morrow. Call also presented
a resolution declaring the further prose
cution of the war between China and
Japan will not be advantageous to the
people of civilization, and that interests
ol the world require tliat all govern
ments should unite in negotiating with
Japan and China for a termination of
the war. Without discussion the reso
lution was referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
Allen next called np his resolution in'
tended to expunge a Doition of the Con
gressional Record and to send a resolu
tion introduced by hi in last July to the
Attorney-General. The latter resolution
called lor information concerning the
t'ullinan strike, tins resolution was
adopted, but was reconsideied On motion
of 1'ul'Ii. Allen bitterly assailed this
action, and also attacked the Attorney
General, to whom he attributed the ac
tion of the Alabama Senator, Pugh
vigorously defended the attitude taken
by Olney, and declared the position of
tiie Senator from Nebraska waa unrta
son able and untenable,
At 2 o'clock the whole matter went
over and the Senate on motion of Mor
gan took np the Nicaraguan Canal bill
Hie bill was read at length, and Morgan
Degan ois remarks ny making a state
m ;nt of the national and international
aspect of the subject, upon which the
Senate and Houbo bills agreed. Careful
calculations, he insisted, showed that
the canal could be constructed at a cost
that wonld yield a remunerative profit,
so that it was a necessity : that it would
be of the greatest Importance to the
United States; that it could be operated,
and that there was nothing to render
impossible the concessions made by the
Central American government to the
cftizeus of the United States. Finishing
this general statement, the Senator de-
voted some Mmo to the discussion 01 the
characteristics of the country through
which it is proposed to build the canal
and its advantageous route compared
with that of the Panama Canal route.
and asserted that no such improvement
con itl be given to commerce as tne con
struction of this necessary complement
to the Suez Canal. The route is feasible,
the engineering work easy, and there
will be no extraordinary work required
at any place on the whole route. Mor
gan quoted from the report of Chief
engineer juenocal, who estimates that
the canal could be built for 188,000,000,
and said he thought the expenditure of
the 14,000,000 already spent had demon
strated that the actual cost would be
even lower than that estimated by Mr.
Menocal. The two Houses of Congress
practically agree that the cost of the ca
nal would' be about .70,000,000. Morgan
concluded :
1 The manner of raising the money is
a matter that should not be allowed to
affect its construction. The canal must
be built under the fostering care of some
government. We m ust act now or aban
don the canal to its fate."
At the conclusion of Morgan's Bpeech
Mitchell of Oregon briefly expressed his
hearty approval of the scheme to build ,

Integrity In (Jueatlon.
Coi.uMiiiA, S. C, December 11
Through a friend ex-Governor Tillman
to-night gave to the press his defense
against the charges all'ecting his official
integrity, which were made by B,
I'erry to a member of the South Caro
lina Leclnlature few davs ago. He was
accused of buying property largely be
yond his means, and it was charged that
he had received and pocketed rebates on

certificate from the Clerk of the couit of
Edgefield county shows that there are
recorded in his oliice su.utvol mortgages
on Tillman's hdgeueld farms. Hie 1'res
ident of the Carolina National Dunk of
tills city makes a statement that his
bank furnished 18.000 of the money se
cured by these mortgages, 10,000 o
which was furnished to pay for the plan'
tation he hug lately purchased. The
President of the railroad which has
brought the dispensary Honors into the
State makes denial of the statement that
Ins road gave or Tillman received a re'
hate on the freight. An agont of the
Aim Ureek IJiBtilling Uompany of Jm
rinnati, from which Tillman bought
most oi ins winsKv, in an interview
states that his company gave no rebate
on it, the purchases being made at a
price which would auow no rebate.
NO FURTHER PROSECUTION.
Knox, Compton and Mullen Will Mot be
llrought to Trial.
Sackamknto, Cal., December 12. It
is not likely that either Knox, Compton
or Mullen, members of the mediation
committee during the recent strike, and
who were indicted for murder, will ever
be prosecuted. There has "been a rumor
to that effect afloat for some time, and
the matter which gave rise to it has now
come to light. It seeniB that a suit for
(30,000 damages has recently- been
brought against the railway company by
the wife of Edgar B. Urilley, the engi
neer who was killed in a collision at
Davisville two years ago. The papers in
lite case show that General A. L.Hart,
who has been defending the Strikers in
their trials in Woodland, has been re
tained bv the railroad company to de-
feud them in this damage suit. There
is every reason to believe that besides
a mouev consideration as a fee in the
damage suit in which he was asked to
act General Hart demanded and re'
wived from the railroad company an
agreement to the effect that the mem
bers of the mediulion committee Bhould
suffer no further prosecution for the part
they took In the recent strike.
AN OLD MATTER REVIVED.

Tacoma, December 12. Four years

consigned to Ritzville, Wash. About

Walla Walla, December 11. The
scheme by, which Warden Coblentx
robbed the rotate of at least (15,000 dur
ing the past year has been given as fol
lows: i
Accessory to the crime are Dusenberry,
the euibeuiing Puyallup banker and
confidential clerk of CoblenU, and Wood-

who carried a dead.uiau on his pay roll,
Woodlake was accountant at the lute

and au order given to the jute mill to
deliver so many sacks to bearer. ' This
was done, but it has been found that
these applications and the original books
of entry huve been destroyed, so that no
record can , he found. The money re
ceived would drop into Coblentx' pocket,
and he no dpuht would feed Dusenberry
aud Woodlake. The Governor questioned
these men, asking them to make a plain
statement Of facts. Woodlake refused
to talk, an every inducement to have
him make clean breast of the crooked
ness tailed; tiusenberry, however, ad
mitted thai he had plaved a star en

stated that Coblentx had commanded
him to falsify his books. He said he did
not like to do it. but he was helpless to
do otherwise. It is not believed by the
directors that Albertson willfully did
anything wrong. It has always been
noticed how independent and happy
were the dispositions of Dusenberry and
woodlake. it can be summed up that
they held .'lucrative positions. They
were not required to wear the prison
garb, but dressed in citizens' clothes.
tJhalrniau in ye said to-day that the
" trusties " guilty of assisting Coblentx
in his steal will b'e put in stripes and be
made to work in the jute will. The
books have been locked np, and experts
will have exclusive control of them un
til Cohlenlz' administration baa been
thoroughly investigated.
It has come to light that Albertson
kept a private account of all transac
tions, and the Governor hus tiie figures.
Albertson says that while he was com
pelled to L.ake false entries be kept true
accounts nnlx-k.iown to any one, so that
if the matter should be brought out he
could vindicate himself. It may be said
without fear of successful contradiction
that Albertson divulged the information
to Chief. Clerk Collins, who in turn noti
fied tlie'tlirectorsThe stealing was com
menced in May, and was mostly done
during the big sales of jute bags.
Uohientz' bondsmen are Aino K-nv

iNn.d calls for $10,000. This fulls much
ore of paying the shortage, i he Gov-
rnor appears to deeply regret the trag
ical end of Coblentx, yet the dead War
den was his own enemy.
The great surprise to tne people here
that Coblentx committed suicide.
There was no great confidence in his
honesty, but it wus thought he would be
the last person to take his own life. He
was greatly devoted to his family, and
their everv wish was cheerfully sunnlied.
the body is being embalmed, and will
shipped to Mom II ton, Ark., to-day
or to-morrow. Mrs. Coblentx is bearing
the affliction nobly, in fact much better
than was expected.
Tins has been a quiet day at the peni
tentiary. The guards are awe-stricken.
yet the usuul discipline is in motion.
Governor McGraw visited Jevi An-

via Portland to-night. Attorney-Gen

shots were fired from the front end of
the train, and the passengers were
warned to keep their heads in the win
dows. The train was detained ten or
fifteen minutes, during which time those
who caught a glimpse of the proceedings
saw three masked men with guns leveled

finished their work the robbers made

kept so close while the train was being
robbed that they did not know much
about what was going on, and the rail

make any statements. It is not known
how much booty was secured. The rob

President has issued a proclamation for
feiting to the United States certain lands

Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail
road Company under an agreement be
tween the company and the Sioux In
dians ratified by an act of March 2, 1889.
The lands involved are three lols in sec

184 acres, and 640 acres in ranges 71 and

DUNRAVEN'S CONDITIONS.

Karller Than October.
London, December 8. An intimate
friend of Lord Dunraven was questioned
to-day concerning the report that Lord
Dunraven bad already forwarded to the
New York Yacht Club a challenge for
tbe American cup. The gentleman in
terviewed appeared not to be aware that
a challenge had been sent, but added
that a letter might have been sent with
the view of gaining time under the ten
months' notice clause of the deed of gift,
which letter under certain conditions
might tie construed as a challenge. lie
was certain that if a challenge were sent
it would not hold good unless the cup
committee granted the two conditions
demanded by Lord Dunraven. One of
these conditions is that the race be sailed
on terms identical with those in the Valkyrie-Vigilant
contesta. Tbe other is
that the race be sailed earlier than Oc
tober. He believed that after the letter
announcing the enp committee's decision
had (wen received by the Royal Yacht
squadron a letter bad been sent to J. V.
H. Oddie, Secretary of the New York
Yacht Club, offering to challenge for the
cup on the conditions mentioned.

SHIPPERS' RIGHTS
Annnal Report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
VARIOUS SUBJECTS TREATED
It Dealer In Favor of a Single Classl
tlostlon of Commodities for the Whole
Country t'ongre.a Can Freaorlbe
Hulea Regulating Commerce.
WAHiHNOTON.December 9. The eighth
annual report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which was sent to
Congress yesterday, ranges through
variety of subjects, opening with that of
court decisions, noting the case of Brim'
son and others. The Supreme Court
held that Congress may employ any ap
propriate means to accomplish the ob-
ject of the luw granted to it bv the con'
stilution, aud that Congress has plenary
power to prescribe the rules regulating
interstate commerce; that provisions of
the 12th section of the act to regulate
commerce, requiring the courts to use
their process in aid of Inquiries before
the commission, are constitutional and
valid ; that in a proceeding to complete
tne attendance and testimony ol wit
nesses .before the commission or to com
pel the production of books, papers and
documents, in a case of which under the
constitution a Federal court may take
cognisance, the failure to obey an order
of the court requiring the giving of such
teaiimony or toe prouuciion oi docu
ments before the commission is properly
punishable as contempt of court.
Regarding criminal and civil proce
dure under the law the commission, call
ing attention to misapprehension upon
this point, explains that its duty is to
report to the Department of Justice facts
concerning alleged violations of the pe
nal clauses of the act, and says this does
not clothe the commission with detective
or prosecuting functions, its connection
witu tue criminal auie oi tne taw enuing
with such report to the Department of
41 ! T 1 !.! -I il.. I J:
Justice. The report says that it is the
duty ol shippers , railway managers and
citizens generally to assist the govern
ment in running down violations of
BtatuteB designed to protect their inter
ests. Transportation should not be re
garded aa a part of the private business
of shippers. It Bhould be viewed as an
agency provided under government sanc
tion. It recommends that the carrying
corporations be made indictable and
subject to line for violation of the act.
The report presents at length a state
ment of the work of the commission
and discusses the long and short-haul
clause. Due observance of that clause,
it says, will encourage legitimate and re
strain illegitimate competition in the
carrying trade.
speaking ol theciassincationot freights
the commission refers to the progress al
ready made toward harmonious railway
operation, which iB desirable for the pub
lic interests, and explains the necessity
of providing single classification of com
modities for the whole country. The
advance in th past, ! t .asserts, demon
strates that uniformity is practicable,
and the failure to secure satisfactory
progress in this work is due to the fact
that the three classifications now in use
iiave been separately developed by the
associated lines operating in sections
where the classifications apply, and that
each group ol carriers has accomplished
its separate task, but seems unable to
agree upon and enforce a single classifi
cation. Uniform classification, the re
port says, depends npon the passage of
a statute requiring its accomplishment,
and the commission recommends that it
be directed to make and prescribe within
a time to be named for such classifica
tion. UTAH COMMISSION B BEPOBT.
Washington, December 9. The an
nual report of the Utah Commission sub
mitted to the Secretary of the Interior
yesterday reviews the general perform
ance of its duties in the supervision of
the elections in that Territory, The
commission says the registration of vot
ers preparatory to the general election
was made in fairness. About 3,000 reg
istration offices were apportioned among
the twenty-six counties and over 1,000
, iatlKe8 of election appointed
The total
amount of appropriations for the com
mission for the fiscal year was $32,000,
and the disbursements $20,073.
CURIOUS COMPROMISE.
Settlement Kffected by a Liquor Dealer
With Government Ottiolal.
8gATTLB, December 12. A curious
compromise has been made in a case
where Aaron Jafle, one of the proprie-
tors of the California wine house, plead-
e(i nity before a United States Com-
missioher to tbe charge of wholesaling
liquor without a government license. He
was accused of manufacturing and sell
ing, wholesale and retail, a concoction of
his own manufacture purporting to be
the genuine whisky of a well-known
brand. The conditions of the release,
which were complied with, were tliat he
should pay the government for both a
wholesale and retail liquor license from
September 1 to the close of the present
fiscal year; that he should also pay 50
per cent penalty for not taking out li
censes ; that he should give a good bond
to the whisky manufacturers not to
counterfeit again either their product or
label and give up all labels printed, and
finally should pav the costs incurred by
the government in prosecuting the case.
The cost to him was about $600, but he
escapes a heavy fine and perhaps I in
prisonment. The settlement was made
between Jaffa's friend, J. P. Gleason,
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue,
anu iiemct attorney xtruiaer.
BRAND TUB CLAIM An FALSI!.
World' Fair Official

Expose
Award.
a Pre-
Chicago, III., Nov. 11. One of the
odd results of the World's Fair is the
claim now made to awards by some
who were not even exhibitors. Oificials
of the Exposition have not as yet taken
final - action in the matter, believing
the quick wit of the people will delect
the spurious dniin. But to the rae of
4 New Yrk baking powder, that has
been widely advertising an award, the
attention of the Chief of Award for
Agriculture, haa lieen directed, ife
brands the claim of thia pretender as
false, declaring "Neither the records of
this department, nor the official cata
logue of the World' Columbian Expo
sition, show that tun New York Com
pany waa an exhibitor; consequently it
could not receive an award at lite
World's Fair."
Those who fairly won their honors at
tbe Fair aeem disposed to treat this
fraud aa any other fraud should be
treated. The Price Baking Powder
Company of Chicago, having received
the highest award, say they are con
vinced their claims, and those of ail
other holder of rightful honors, will be
fully vindicated by the public. ,
