SCOTT'S SEAT SAFE
Senate Refuses to Go Behind
the Returns."
THE VOTE IN HIS FAVOR 52 to 3
Denial That Allen IIbto Mining
Right in Alnaka us Acnlnat
Cltlxena of United Statea.
WASHINGTON. April 27. The Senate
today voted upon the resolution declar
ing Nathan B. Scott to be entitled, to his
seat in the Senate from West Virginia.
The number of votes In the negative was
only three. The Alaskan and cotton
claims bills took up the rest of the day,
save for an announcement concerning the
Clark case.
Debate on Cotton Claim.
Money called up the bill to amend an
act to provide for the collection of aban
doned property and prevention of frauds
In Insurrectionary districts within the
United States. He desired, ho said, to
submit some remarks upon the measure.
Before proceeding, however, he offered an
amendment lu the form of a new section,
restricting the provisions of tho bill to the
proceeds of cotton and teed sold under the
act of 1SG3. Money explained that the
bill. If passed, would afford opportunity
to owners of private property to estab
lish their proprietorship of-the cotton that
fell Into the hands of the authorized
agents of tho United States during tho
Civil 'War. The doors would not. he said,
be opened to a general raid on the Treas
ury. The amount Involved would be. less
than J3.000.CCO.
Chandler snid that half the money which
the Government had realized from the sale
of seized and abandoned property had
been returned In times past to the people
of the South. It had cost the United
States JCOO.OOO.OOO and 3X.00 lives to carry
tho Civil War to a conclusion, and he
thought it well to place this little pit
tance as a sot-off against tho enormous
txpendituro of C00,(O0.0CO.
Money said he had a doubt of the posi
tion of Chandler, and fully expected him
to act In accordance with his Judgment,
but there was a right In this case which
no man ought to disregard. He nppeaied
to Senators opposed to the measure to per
mit It to come to a vote.
Sentt Entitled to III Sent.
The bill was then laid asldo and con
sideration was resumed of the resolution
declaring Nathan B. Scott to be entitled
to his feat as a Senator from West Vir
ginia. The pending question was the mo
tion of Pettus to recommit the resolution
to the committee, with Instructions to
Investigate the case thoroughly.
Turner (Dcm. Wash.), while, soylng he
knew nothing of the case except what ho
had heard in the course of debate, de
clared that If the facts were as stated
by Pettus. Scott was not entitled to his
seat. He believed there .had been duplic
ity, double-dealing and fraud in the elec
tion of Scott. He particularly attacked
the agreement which hail been entered into
by certain Democratic and Republican
leaders of the Legislature affecting the
scats of members of Uie West Virginia
House, maintaining that this presented
such a stato of facts to the United States
Senate as would warrant It In making a
thorough investigation of the Scott case.
Chandler, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, read some
remarks of Morgan (Dcm. Ala.) made
yesterday. In which he said the Alabama
Senator seemed to lean to the belief
that the Indiana case affecting the right
of Senator Turpie to a seat In the Sen
ate had not been decided correctly. Chan
dler said If Morgan really did believe the
Turpie case was not decided correctly,
and that It ought to be reversed, he would
stand with him.
Tho decision In that case was that the
Senate would not reopen the determina
tion of the legislature of Indiana. Chan
dler was willing to have the declilon In
the Turpie caso reopened if the Demo
cratic Senators were, and he was sure
Scott could stand on the facts. He gave
warning that In the next Senate the cre
dentials of Blackburn (Dcm. Ky.) would
bo considered, and If the doctrine estab
lished In the Turpie case, which had
been recognized as binding on the Senate,
was to be overruled, the Senate would be
called upon to go Into the Question as to
tho competency of the Federal power to
go back of the returns of a duly and
legally constituted Legislature.
Bacon (Dem. Ga.) sId he believed the
majority report of the committee was
based on sound law, and that the United
States Senate could not enter Into any
Investigation of a Legislature's right to
determine the qualifications of Its mem
bers.
Teller took similar ground, holding that
the doctrine accepted as established by
tho decision In tho Turpie case was sound
nnd safe.
The motion of Pettus that the report
nnd resolution le recommitted to the com
mittee for full Investigation was defeated
without division. The resolution of the
committee, declaring that Scott was en
titled to his seat In the Senato was then
adopted. 52 to. 3, the votes In tho nega
tive being cast by Morgan. Pettus and
Turner.
Xotlce of the Clark Cane.
Chandler then gave notice that on next
Wednesday he would ask the Senate to
take up the caso of Senator Clark, of
Montana, adding that If no one should
desire' to speak In opposition to the re
port of the committee he would, have
nothing to say In support of 1L
Allen expressed the hope that the Senato
would not be asked to act upon thl
caso until the Senators could have an op
portunity to read the testimony. In view
of the fact that the committed had taken
two or three months to Investigate the
subject, ho did not consider It fair that
the Senate should be asked to dispose of
the matter on two or three days' notice.
Such a request was ridiculous in any
tribunal.
Chandler then stated that ho had no
desire to press consideration of tho case
unduly, and, while he did not withdraw
Ms notice to call the case up on Wednes
day, he said there would be no disposi
tion to press the resolution in a way to
Impair the rights of any one. The case
could be postponed If such disposition was
thought best. This explanation of the
attitude of tho chairman of tho commit
tee on elections appeared to bo satisfac
tory, and tho Senate took up the Alaskan
bill.
Aliens In Alnnkn.
Rawlins (Dcm. Utah) spoke on the
rights of aliens In mining locations, advo
cating the elimination of section 71 of
tho code bill, and supporting In tho main
Carter's amendment. His argument was
devoted to showing that under the decis
ions of the courts, aliens had no rights as
against citizens In the location of mining
claims. To concede the right to aliens to
locate might nfford to the Inhabitants of
Siboria the opportunity to Invade our
shores and locate all tho mineral lands
on the American shore of Bchrlng Sea,
thus shutting out our own citizens en
tirely from the vast and rich mining field.
After a brief executive session, the Sen
ate, at 5:15 P. M.. adjourned.

WASHINGTON, April 27. Tho croso-ex-atninatlon
of Bartlett Sinclair was con
cluded at tho Cocur d"Alcne Investigation
before the house military affairs commit
tee today. Nothing new was developed.
Captain J. V. Bennett, an aid on the

the stand. He described his Journey with
General Merrlam from Denver to Ward-
ner. and said he was present at the Inter
view on the train between General Mcrrl
am, and Governor Steunenberg, while they
were en route on April 30, the day after
the Bunker Hill mlno was blown up. In
response, to General Merrlam'fl question
as to -whether It would be necessary to
bring troops. Governor Steunenbcrg had
responded In the affirmative.
Under General Merrlam's direction he
had censored all telegrams filed at tho
telegraph office relating to tho movement
of troops and the military situation there.
Ho examined all press dispatches at
Wardner. In only ono case had he had
occasion to object to anything tiled. He
had seen no rough treatment of prtaners
on tho part of the soldiers and heard no
harsh language. He heard no complaints
from prisoner About SCO of them were

new.
He was followed by General Merrlam.

tho War Department, and the assembling
of troops there by hto orders. Ills orders
to his Inferior officers were that arrests

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27. The
American noto handed to tho Turkish
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tewflk Pasha,
on Tuesday, Is couched In peremptory
terms, demanding Immediate payment of
the Indemnity several times promised to
Minister Straus by the Sultan. The note
does not fix a time limit for an answer,
but Its tenor Is not far from the character
of an ultimatum, it has produced a great
Impression upon tho Porte, which, how
ever, shows no disposition to modify the
attitude hitherto maintained, namely, re
pudiating the responsibility and seeking to
diminish the importance of the matter.
It Is presumed that the Porte's reply
will be In this sense, and hence It Is
feared tho United States Government will
bo obliged to take steps to enforce Its de
mands. Turkey's decision to send an officer to
America to study naval construction la
AND DEWEY THINKS THIS IS EASY.
China nnd the United States, the question
of transportation will no doubt com
more and more to the front. In days not
very long past the American flag Was a
common sight among the shipping ot
Hong Kong and other Chinese ports. Now
It is conspicuous by Its absence. 11
Americans are to make good their claim
to a due sharo of the commercial advan
ages In China, It Is essential that they
should revive their carrying trade on Chi
nese waters. I have been Informed that
more goods have been offered ot late to
the steamship companies at San Francisco
than they can possibly carry with the
limited facilities at their command. The
result Is that the freight rates to the
Orient have taken a sharp rise. The ex
porters from the Eastern states cannot
but be Injuriously affected.
"If an isthmian canal wero In operation,
connecting the waters of the Atlantic with
those of the Pacific, such congestion of
traffic at any point on the Pacific Coast
would be at once relieved. But. unfor
tunately, the day Is still far "distant when
steamers can pass from ocean to ocean
across the Central American Isthmus. In
the meanwhile the time and tide of trade
tarry for no man. Demand for Ameri
can goods continues to pour In from ths
East. Without adequate transportation
facilities, how Is It to be met? After dua
Inquiry. I find that Americans do not con
trol a single line of steamers plying be
tween New Tork and Shanghai by way of
the Suez Canal. I have no hesitation In
saying that such a line. If established, will
contribute materially to the expansion ot
trade between the two countries.
"Mr. Goodnow, your Consul-Gencral at
Shanghai, reports that rates of freight
from New York to China and Japan ,vla
Suez vary from 22 shillings 6 pence to
27 shillings C pence (C 46 to $3 CS) per ton
of 40 cubic feet, against 43 shillings to M
shillings (J10 93 to J12 15) charged by
steamship owners from London and Liv
erpool to the same destination. Thus It
Is npparont that British steamship com
panies give preferential rates to Ameri
can shippers.
"The English aro noted for their acuta
Judgment in matters of business. If Eng
lish shipowners think It worth their while,
for business reasons, to offer cheaper
freight rates to American than to Eng
lish shippers, it Is not to be supposed that
they cherish greater love for their Ameri
can cousins than for their English brcth.
rcn. It Is because they believe It good
business policy. Such being the case. It
seems strange that you enterprising
Americans should so far have made n
serious attempt to secure at least a shar
of the profits arising from carrying your
own goods."

times talked casually with mine operators
who came to or wero pacing through
Wardner.
General Merrlam stated positively that
he had never been In the room where the
Inquest was held at Wardner. denying
the statement of Attorney Robertson to
that effect. Mr. Robertson Interrupted to
state that he had been under the Impres
sion that General Merrlam had been pres
ent General Merrlam's testimony followed
closely the lines of hi report. During IS
years of service, ho said, ho had never
known a soldier to strike a prisoner with
a musket or Jab with a bayonet. Such
testimony, he said, therefore, to him was
utterly Incredible He declared most em
phatically that a stato of rebellion existed
In Idaho, and that there was a menace
to public safety there. He took up each
preamble of tho rwolutlon under the op
eration of which tho committee was acting,
denying absolutely most of the facts al
leged therein. General Merrlam said the
United States troops were In charge of the
prisoners simply as guards. In carrying
out tho authority of the state.
The General said he felt solicitude as to
tho prisoner nnd to their long confine
ment. He finally took up the matter with
tho War Department, telegraphing on the
eubject. Two of tho letters had not here
tofore appeared In tho correspondence fur
nished by tho War Department, evidently
hating been mislaid. In these letters Gen
eral Merrlam pointed out the evident pur
pose of tho Idaho authorities to continue
tho military control for some time, and
referred to the adjournment of the Dis
trict Court, with the case? of many of the
prisoners still pending. In one of the let
ters. General Merrlam advised that a part
of tbo troops be withdrawn. He stated
also that the continued service of the
troops on guard duty had led to the brib
ery of a Sergeant and tho escape of eight
prisoners.
At present. General Merrlam-stated, tho
troops were not guarding any prisoners.
A few troops remained In garrison In the
locality, but without having any duties In
connection with tho disturbance, although
available In caso of an outbreak as long
as martial law continued. General Mer
rlam's cross-examination will begin tomorrow.
Interpreted to bo another sop. It Is the
revival of an old project to buy a cruiser
In the United States, In the price of which
tho indemnity shall be Included, so that
tho Porte will be able to say It has not
paid the Indemnity. Tho American Gov
ernment has already categorically re
fused such a compromise, which would
mean prolonged negotiations and the
dragging out of the matter Indefinitely,
to which the United States will not lis
ten. As regards the Indemnity. It Is In
the nature of a debt of honor. If the
Porte wants to buy a cruiser, that Is a
matter In no way connected with the
indemnity.
The Porte's reply to the last collective
note on the subject of duties has not
been made, and the embassies arc ex
changing views In regard to the terms on
which to consent to an Increase of duty.
It Is thought that before tho beginning
of negotiations the embassies will Invite
tho Porte to abolish ransoms and meas
ures Introduced In violation of treaties.

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
Wo Tine l'nnjr Snya Freer Inter
course Would Help It.
BOSTON. April 27. In his speech at the
banquet of the National Association of
Maunfacturcrs last night. Wu Ting Fang,
tho Chinese Minister, said:
"That the trade of this country "with
China has been rapidly Increased within
the last few years Is borne out Dy tho
statistics published every yar, but It Is
not generally known, and It Is a fact
which should be remembered, that ' our
merchants are the only exporters of your
goods to China. Take, for Instance, the
case of flour. All that Is sent to China
is upon order first received at the mills
In this country. This shows you clearly
the lmportanco and necessity of allowing
the Chinese merchants and traders to
have free and friendly 'Intercourse with
the manufacturers and merchants In thli
country.
"If Chinese merchants could come mora
freely to this country and see how things
aro dono In your business establishments.
It would certainly give them a better Idea
of American enterprise and energy and
impress them with greater respect for
American methods. They could also see
many things which aro new to them, as
certain their utility and the'Ir uses and
would then purchase them. I ntn com
pelled to say, and I say It with great
reluctance, that no such facilities are af
forded to Chinese customers to come to
this country.
"American manufacturers may have
agents In China to sell their goods, but
Chinese merchants certainly ought to
know best what Is most suitable for
their home markets. If they could enter
this country without unnecessary re
strictions, they might be in a better posl
tlon to select not only what they came to
buy. but also carry home with them a
great many things which they had no In
tention of buying at the outset. It seems
to mo that self-Interest alone ought to
point out the best course for the Ameri
cans to follow. If you should wish to In
crease your trade with China every obsta
cle In the way of free Intercourse! between
tho two countries should be removed. As
the progress ot civilization has leveled one
natural barrier after another. In order
that the peoples of the earth may bt
drawn tocothcr Into closer relations. It is
certainly contrary to the spirit of the
times to erect artificial ones by means ot
hostile legislation.

But very different is "that tired feeling," from
-which so many complain, and which may
even be classed as a disease. That tired feel

tired. You have no appetite, have bilious
taste, dull headache, are nervous and irritable,
blue, weak and discouraged. In such condi

tonight: Gardner opened the light! using
a hard left Jab, followed by. right hooks
to tho body, and wore his opponent down
with body blows. Gardner ropeatedly
forced his opponent Into awkward cor
ners, but Bernstein took his punishment
gamely, and the bell always found him
ready and. willing. Once in the eighth
round Gardner found the floor, with his
opponent on top. Bernstein showed good
lighting from a technical standpoint, but
up to the end of the thirteenth round It
was anybody's light.
Tho fourteenth was particularly fierce,
both lighters doing serious damage to the
face and body. Bernstein drew blood
from Gardner's cheek and was on the
Hoor twice from fast work. The rapid
pace continued during the fifteenth, most
of the fighting being done during the
clinches, with one hand free. Bernstein
