PLEADED FOR BOERS
Senator Wellington Spoke on
Sympathy Resolution.
ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE AGAIN
Attack Upon the Industrial Commis
sion as a Republican. Carapaism
3Iachine.
WASHINGTON". May 28. In the course
of a speech In favor of the adoption of
a resolution expressing the Senate's sym
pathy for the Boers today, "Wellington
referred to a secret understanding exist
ing between the United States and Great
Britain. "When Lodge demanded proor
that such an understanding existed, Wel
lington said that, under the circum
stances, it was difficult to present tangible
proof, but he believed the proof could
t& found in the secret archives of the
State Department. Lodge replied that un
der our form of government no such
understanding could exist, and, as tne
Secretary of State had emphatically de
nied the existence of any alliance or un
derstanding, he believed the country would
accept his statement as true.
The reading of the sundry civil appropri
ation bill was completed, but not all of
the committee amendments have been
disposed of. A lively debate was precipi
tated over the proposition to continue the
tlfe of the Industrial Commission until
October 31, 190L Charges were made that
the commission was being used as a Re
publican campaign machine, and that im
portant testimony had been suppressed.
The committee amendment, however, was
agreed to.
This was a dull day In the House, mark
ing the near approach of final adjourn
ment The Alaska civil government bill
was passed, and some odds and ends of
legislation were cleaned up. Dalzell gave
notice that the anti-trust resolution and
Mil reported by the judiciary committee
would be considered Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday of this week under a spe
cial order.
THE DAY IN DETAIL.
Senator Wellington's Pro-Boer Talk
Sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON. May 28. In urging
prompt action by the committee on the
District of Columbia in reporting a bill
.granting a charter to a telephone com
pany. Hale (Rep. Me.), In the Senate, said
isuch action was necessary, as he had no
doubt Congress would adjfurn June 6, and
the bill ought to be acted upon before that
time.
Hale presented a partial report of the
conference committee on the Naval ap
propriation bill, the armor-plate question,
the course of instruction of cadets at An
napolis, and the Insular coast surveys
yet being in dispute. '
Butler (Pop. N. C.) inquired what had
been done about the proposition to au
thorize the Secretary of the Navy, if he
deemed It advisable, to move the Port
Royal naval station to Charleston, S. C.
Hale replied that it had been agreed to
by the conferees.
Butler objected to the report, insisting
tha,t the question of location ought to
be left open, with a view to securing the
best harbor on the Southern coast for a
station. He maintained that Wilmington
was a better harbor than Charleston.
Hale's motion that the conference re
port be agreed to was carried, 33 to 1L
Wellington (Rep. Md.) thon called up
Teller's ,resolution expressing sympathy
lor the Beers and declaring the desire
that the Government should extend, lis.
incnaiy omces to Doin ureat .Britain ana
the Transvaal, with a view to bringing
the war to a close. Wellington maintained
that Congress would not have 'performed
the full measure of Its duty if. before ad
journment, it did not redeem Its pledge to
give the people of Cuba a free and inde
pendent government: if It did not declare
Its policy as to the Philippine Islands, to
the holding of which by the United States
he was unalterably opposed, and If it did
not take definite action In favor of the
Boers. The American people, he assert
ed, were in profound sympathy with the
Boers, who were struggling for liberty
against untold odds.
"Unless we wish to be recreant to our
duty, we must act," he exclaimed, "and
unless we act quickly It will be too late."
He declared that this country, so far as
Its government was concerned, had yielded
to British blandishments, and was under
the sway of British Influence. England
dared not, he said, attack us by force,
and, realizing this, was gaining points
against us by diplomacy. So It was dur
ing the Hlspano-Amerlcan War, that Eng
land professed herself our friend after we
had broken the power of Spain.
"That," he exclaimed, "was the begin
ning of an alliance conceived in darkness
and carried out in iniquity. There has
been between the two governments a
secret understanding although as yet no
open alliance and, a surrender of Ameri
can Interests to Great Britain. Despite
the desire of a vast majority of our peo
ple that we should extend our sympathy
and good offices to the Boers, the diplo
macy of Great Britain now binds the
hands of our country."
Wellington discussed at length the ori
gin of the pending war, and declared that
what Great Britain was unable otherwise
to accomplish she accomplished by "mis
representation and lifcal." He denounced
England for what ho declared was Its pol
icy of aggression against the Boers, driv
ing them -from place to place, each ot
which had been purchased by the money
of the Boers and baptized with their
blood. Despite the treaties of friendship
between the Boers and Great Britain, they
were violated because, he maintained,
"England never kept a promise where It
was to her advantage to break it."
"England had determined to gain pos
session of the rich gold mines of tne
Transvaal." said Wellington, "and the
conspiracy opened by Cecil Rhodes ana
Joseph Chamberlain soon developed Into
one of the awfullest tragedies of modern
times."
He declared the United States Govern
men need have no fear of acting In the
matter, as Great Britain would not go to
war with tho United States, and Jthe Unit
ed States Government should give to the
Boer envoys the same cordial welcome as
had been extended to them by tho people
of the country. But this reception was
being -withheld by the Government, be
cause of an understanding between this
Government and Great Britain.
Lodge (Rep. Mass.) asked: "What proof
has the Senator of a -wcret understand
ing between the United States and Great
Britain?"
Wellington replied that he would reach
that point later, but soon closed his speech
without reference to the matter. Lodge
thereupon said he had listened in vain for
any proof of an understanding, secret or
other ise. between this country and Great
Britain. Wellington replied that naturally
there could be no taugiMe proof of such
an understanding until tne secret archives
of the State Department were opened.
"Then It comes back simply to this," said
Lodge: "The Senator believes a secret
understanding exists. The fact Is, there
is no such understanding. Under our
system of government it could not exist.
Tho Secretary of State, an honorable and
patriotic man, has denied that a secret
alliance or understanding exists. I be
lieve him. and the American people do
and will believe him."
The Boer resolution then went over.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The
item appropriating J20M for compensation
of tho woman commissioner to represent
the United States and the National So
ciety of the Daughters of the American
Revolution at the Paris exposition was
stricken out, Allison (Rep.1 la.) saying the
Daughters of the American Revolution
preferred to bear the expense themselves.
Wh.en .the committee's amendment, ex
tending the life of the Industrial Commis
sion until October 31, 1901, was reported,
Jones (Dem. Ark.) attacked the Commis
sion because It was not, he said, what had
been intended by the law cresting it a
nonpartisan body. He thought not to ex
ceed nine members of the Commission
should be of the same political party.
Mallory (Dem. Fla.), who is a member
of the Commission, at the request ot
Pettlgrew (SJj. S. D.) announced the po
litical affiliations of some of the members
of the Commission. When be reached the
name of Kyle (Ind. S. D.), he remarked:
"The Senator from Soura Dakota can no
doubt tell the politics of his colleague."
"I do not know his politics," laughingly
commented Pettlgrew.
"The junior Senator from South Da
kota," retorted Kyle, warmly, "Is able to
take care of his own politics, and he la
satisfied the people of South Dakota will
take care of the politics of the Senator
(Pettlgrew) at the coming election."
Pettlgrew. complained that the subcom
mittee of the Commission on labor and
capital was composed of five men, includ
ing his colleague (Kyle) who were In sym
pathy with the present Administration.
"This committee," said he, "Is to sit
until after the election, and publish
the world such bulletins as will be of ad
vantage to the Republican party In the
coming campaign."
This he declared was a perversion of the
original Intent of the Commission.
Carter (Rep. Mont.) said that of the five
members of the Commission appointed
from the Senate, only one was a Republi
can Penrose of Pennsylvania. Four others
represented tho opposition to the Repub
llcan party. He admitted that Kyle and
Mantle were now regarded as Republi
cans. The several representatives of or
ganized labor on the Commission, be said,
had the confidence of the country, and the
action of the President in appointing them
was guided by the wishes of organized la
bor: politics did not enter Into the, matter.
Allen (Pop. Neb.) declared the Commis
sion was a sham and a rraud.
Mallory offered an amendment provid
ing that in filling vacancies, appointments
shall be made so that not more than nine
members of the Commission all belong to
the same political party. This amend
ment was agreed to.
Jones raised what he regarded as a very
serious point, viz., that the Commission
had what was called an "editing commit
tee." He had understood, ho said, from
persons who had appeared before the Com
mission that their statements had been
"outrageously garbled."
Kyle explained that no changes were
made In the statements of any witness,
except In mere matters of grammar and
phraseology. One or twice the entire
Commission, In considering testimony, had
ordered parts of It struck out. This was
true, he said, of the testimony of a wit
ness named Lockwood, because of lt3
character.
Pettlgrew said Lockwood was pres!dent
on an anti-trust league. His testimony
was substantially and materially change.
If that was a sample of the Commission's
work, said Pettlgrew, it had "better be
reorganized or abolished at once.
After further criticism on the same lines
by Chandler and Caffory (Dem. La.) the
committee amendment was agreed to, the
amount appropriated being Increased from
$122,000 to $129,500.
Under the paragraph "Territory of Ha.
wall," an amendment was inserted provid
ing for a private secretary to the Gov
ernor, at a salary of 52000. The bill wat
then laid aside for the day.
After a brief executive session, the Sen.
ate, at 5:33 P. M., adjourned.
In the House.
Dalzell (Rep. Pa.) gave notice that
"Wednesday the committee on rules would
report a special notice setting aside Wed
nesday, Thunsday and Friday for the con
sideration of the anti-trust bill and the
resolution reported by the judiciary com
mittee. "Wednesday Is Decoration day," sug-r
gested Richardson (Dem. Tcnn.). "it
is"ut?ual to adjourn on that day."
"I do not think we can better observe
the day," replied Dalzell. "than by de
voting It to public bus.ness."
The House then resumed consideration
of those portions of the Alaska civil gov
ernment bill which had been passed over
last week.
During the course of the debate. Driggs
(Dem. N. Y.), who raised something of
a sensation about two months ago by
charging reckless extravagance In the fit
ting up of the transport Sumner, re
curred to that subject. Since then he
has continued his investigation of -the
cost of the refitting of that transport, and
today he charged that $652,000 was spent
upon her, her original cost being JIGO.MO.
The Secretary of War reported that onlj
$262,000 had been expended in refitting
Driggs said that $400,000 was expended by
the Navy Department before she was
turned over to the War Department
The Alaska code bill was then parsed.
Senate joint resolutions were passed to
authorize the President to appoint 10 first
lieutenants for the Signal Corps, whofe
commissions ehall expire June SO, 1901.
and to provide for six additional officers
In the subsistence bureau of the War

RETALIATORY DUTY.
American Legislation to Offset the
German Kent Bill.
WASHINGTON. May 2S. As the result
of conferences today between President
J. W. Springer, of the National Live
stock Association, and members of Con
gress, relative to tho German meat In
spection bill, a bill was Introduced In the
House of Representatives by Representa
tive Bailey, of Kansas, as follows:
"That whenever the President of tho
United States shall be Informed that the
Government of the German Empire has
passed a law imposing prohibitory duties
on meat products which may be Imported
Into that country from the United States,
he shall Issue a proclamation fixing a
time when all articles produced or manu
factured In the German Empire, when en
tered for consumption at the porta of the
United States, shall pay a duty of 10 ier
cent in excess of the duties imposed there
on prior to the passage of this act; and
all such products and manufactures when
so entered for consumption after said
time fixed by the President shall pay such
increased duties."
The bill was referred to the ways and
means committee, and Mr. Springer saw
members of that committee tilth a view
to urging early action. He said as to tha
measure:
"The National Livestock Association Is
the largest organization of its kind In th
world, representing over $900,000,000, and
with It are federated on this subject the
American Shorthorn Breeders' Assocla
Hon, tho National Hereford Breeders'
Association and some 100 livestock organ.
Izatlons. We feel that tho livestock in
dustry Is singled out by the German Em
pire for direct discrimination, -and all the
stock peoDlo will feci the effect of such
action. They feel, too that the time hn
come for the allied stock Interests of the
United States to speak out in no uncer
tain tone, and they hope to direct the
attention of Concrete and the Govern
ment to the situation. All the livestock
states are deeply Interested in what If
being done rnd are dextrous of having ad
equate measures adopted to overcome this
discrimination by Germany."

DECIDED AGAINST DEWEY
SUPKEXE COURT'S DECISION IX MA
NILA BOIOTTY CASE.
Tke Admiral and His 35en Are De
prived of Half tke Amount
Claimed by Them.
WASHINGTON. May 28. The - United
States Supreme Court today decided Ad
miral Dewey's bounty claim against the
Admiral's contention. The effect is to de
prive the Admiral and the men engaged
with him at Manila of half the amount
claimed by them. Chief Justice Fuller
delivered e. dissenting opinion. Justice
Harlan rendered the opinion of the court,
which turned on whether the words "su
periority" or "inferiority" in the statute
had reference to the support of the en
emy's vessels-by land batteries, mines and
torpedoca." l
"We cannot do that," eald Justice Har
lan, "without going far beyond the ob
vious .import of the words employed by
Congress. It Is not unreasonable that
all the difficulties of every kind with
which they were actually confronted
should be taken Into consideration. But
that Is a matter which we cannot sup
pose was overlooked by Congress."
THE ECLIPSE PROCEEDING IN SOUTH AFRICA.
New York Tribune.
Upon the question of policy, the court
said:
"All genuine Americans recall with de
light and pride the marvelous achieve
ments of our Navy in the memorable en
gagement at Manila. But this court
"cannot permit considerations of that char
acter to induce it to depart from the es
tablished rules for the Interpretation oi
statutes. Nor can we allow our Judgment
to be Influenced by the circumstance thut
Congress has recently repealed all statutes
giving bounty to officers and sailors of
the Navy for the sinking or destruction
hereafter In time of war of an enemy's
versels, thereby. It may be assumed. In
dicating that In the Judgment of the leg's
hitlve branch of the Government the pol
icy of giving bounties to the Navy was
not founded )n wisdom and should be
abandoned.,. Thls court has nothing to
da "with questions' of mere policy that
may be supposed lo underlie the action
f Congress."
The orlgiral claim of Adhv.ral Dewey
and his sailors was about $400,000. Tho
Court of Claims reduced it to $200,000
That dec'slon Is sustained by today's de
cision. The Admiral's personal claim la
reduced from about $20,000 to about $10 0M.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices White
and McKenna dissented. Ex-Secretary
Herbert, counsel for Dewey and his men,
filed a petition for a rehearing.
Snpremc Conrt Adjourns.
WASHINGTON. May 28. The United
States Supreme Court adjourned for tho
term today, and will not sit again until
next October.
NOT A LODBYIST.
Chinese Minister Explains His Visit
to the Senate.
NEW YORK, Mav. 2S. A special to tne
Herald from Washington, says:
Wu Ting-fang, tho Chinese Minister, ex
pressed regret that a visit of his to the
Senate has been misconstrued and that he
had been placed in the position of a lob
byist. "I received a dispatch from the Chi
nese Consul-General in San Francisco
several days ago," he said, "stating
that It would be wise to watcn
the appropriation bills, as an effort would
be made to attach to one of them a rider
of an anti-Chinese character. Before mak
ing any representations to the State De
partment, I decided to go to the Senate
and ascertain If tho report was true. T
went to the office of the immigration com
mittee and opened the door. Several gen
tlemen there recognised me, and I ob
tained from them the Information desired.
I certainly did not understand that the
committee was holding a meotlng, other
wise I would have Immediately retired.
These gentlemen displayed considerable
Interest In the subject and I discussed
the Chinese situation with them. My
action was entirely Informal.
"The call I made yesterday on Senator
Allison was at the suggestion of the
Treasury Department, which has charge
of matters relating to the admission of
Chinese."
Secretary Hay Informed Mr. Wu soma
time ago that there would be no objection
to his dealing directly with the Treasury
Department In Immigration matters.
The Minister therefore thinks that ho
had ample authority for approaching Sen
ator Allison.
MAY FIGHT AT KLIP RIVER
Boers Said to Be Preparing; for
Strong; Resistance.
LONDON, May 2S. Although the Fed
erals are said to be preparing for strong
resistance at tho Klip River, those who
have most closely followed the progress
of the war since the British and Boer
armies came in touch at Brandfort are
skeptical as to the burghers seriously dis
puting Roberts' advance even there. If
no stand Is made at the Klip River, the
safety of the Boers' guns at Lalngs Nek
will he seriously Imperilled, for there will
be nothing to prevent Roberts from seiz
ing the Johannesburg-Laing's Nek Rail
road. Indeed, It is already reported that
the railroad has been cut and it Is quite
possible the first official news will record"
the occupation of Heidelberg.
Roberts may be forced to halt at the
Vaal River to repair the bridge and get
his guns and transport across, but the
mounted men will not be delayed. It
Is said In high quarters that the speedy
announcement of the arrival of the Brit
ish cavalry at Johannesburg will not sur
prise the War Office.

THOMPSON'S SPRINGS. Utah, May
23. Several posses today started In pur
suit ot the bandiis. who murdered Sher
iff Tyler and Sam Jenkins last Saturday
at Hill Creek, 50 miles north of here. It
s learned that men answering the de
scription of the outlaws- passed through
here last Wednesday, coming from Moab.
After the shooting they rifled the pock
ets of the two dead men, knowing that
Day and others woujd .return to take
the bodies away. The outlaws left part
Of their camping outfit to make the res
cuers believe they were still there.
The. men stopped at Turner's cabin in
Hay Canyon, eight miles north and 12
miles aat of; the scene of the-tragedy,
and took four of Turner's best horses.
Before leaving, the leader of the crowd
said: t "We, are going . up Hay Canyon
and wfll cross- the White- River. Just as
soon as we get some money we will pay
you for the horses, providing we ain't
killed. One thing Is certain, we will
never be taken alive."
Much speculation is being Indulged In
as to who the outlaws are. Some think
they are- tho gang who killed the two
Mormon boys In Arizona, last April.
Bush Casiday, the Jones brothers and
Harvey Curry, alias Kid Curry, are be
lieved to be in the gang. There Is a
rtandlng reward of 53000 for the arrest
of the latter for robbing the Portland.

certain that one or the other of the pesses
will come across the gang within the
next few days, when some lively shooting
Is looked for.

Chamber, and a Suspension.
PARIS, May 2S. There was a crowded
attendance In the Chamber of Deputies
today In anticipation of an Important so
slon arising from Count Boiii de Casttl
lane's Interpellation taking the govern
ment to task for Its relation with M.
Rolnach. The Chamber decided upon an
Immediate discussion at the matter,
whereupon the Minister of War, the Mar
quis, de Gallifet, arose and repeated his
assertions-, of last Friday regarding the
Frltzch affair. He said he hoped the
army would not listen to those wh4
preached Insubordination and would not
allow Itself to be imposed' on by an ad
venturer, as was the case 15 years ago.
The denunciation of Boulangerlsm brought
ringing "cheers from the Socialists and
vehement protests from the Nationalists
Count Bonl de Castellane followed. Th
procedIngsbecame so uproarious that the
chairman. M. Dcschanel, was compelltd
to suspend the session.
Before M. de Castellane spoke, Mi
Poulin-Mery, Socialist, cried: "It la cow
ardly thus to Insult the dead." M. De
schanel. amid a scene of tumult, called
M. Poulin-Mery to order, but the latter
loudly repeated: "It Is an act of coward
Ice. Boulanger Is dead." The president
of tho Chamber again called M. Poulin
Mery to order.
General de Gallifet continued In his
usual bluff manner, saying: "I alone am
responsible for what has occurred In the
War Office. If you wish to strike any one.
strike me." Socialist cheers greeted this
declaration.
M. de Castellane asked the Premier. M.
Waldeck-Rousseau. what measures he In
tended to take against M. Relnach fcr the
insinuation which he had made that the
government had agreed that the Dreyfus
case should be revived after the exposi
tion, provided the Dreyfusards maintained
a truce during that period. M. de Castel
lane Intimated that the action of Tomps,
th? detective, was part of this arrange
ment, because, he added. Tomps could
hardly have gone abroad and made money
propositions to spy without M. Waldeck
Rousseau knowing It.
Other Nationalists continued the debate.
Insisting that Captain Frltzch's divulga
tion of the Tomps letters showed the
Cabinet was working wUh the Dreyfus
ards for opening the Dreyfus conflict.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau replied to M. de
Castellane. denying that there was any
agreement with M. Relnach. whose -words,
he asserted, were entirely contrary to the
sentiments of the Cabinet. Continuing,
the Premier said Captain Frltzch had dl
vnlged the Tomps letters In order to en
able the Nationalists to commit a coup
de theatre, and his action was a felony.
An uproar ensued. The Socialists in
dulged In rounds of applause, while the
Reactionaries and Nationalists loudly pro
tested. Nearly all the Deputies stood up.
gesticulating and shouting. M. Deschanel
vainly rang his bell, and General de Gal
lifet. amid- the tumult, left the chamber.
He was feeling indisposed. As he crossed
the floor the Nationalists raised a mo
notonous 'and Ironical chanting of the
name of "Gallifet." M. Gallifet took n
notice, but the Socialists and Radicals
retorted with shouts of '"Vive Waldeck
Rousseau!" "Vive la republique!" and
gathered around the Ministerial bench,
cheering wildly.
M. Deschanel. being powerless to indue
silence, suspended the session.
11:45 P. M During the suspension, th
lobbies of the Chamber were filled with'
Deputies. Journalists and the public, ex
citedly discussing the Incidents of the ses
sion and especially the reason .for Gen
eral de Galllfet's withdrawal, as to wheth
er It ;wasy due to a, sudden indisposition
orTntended.' as a protest against tho Pre
mieres remarks. The general opinion was
mat ii me latter naa neen the case, it
would lead to the downfall ofthe Cabi
net. In view of the reports, the resumption
of the session was awaited with fever
ish interest. When- the doors were re
opened, the Deputies and public flocked
Into the- hall and it was -Immediately re
marked that General de Gallifet was ab
sent. M. Waldeck-Rousseau ascended the
tribune, and his first words tended to con
firm the lobby reports, as. he immediately
made an apologetic explanation of his
previous remarks. He said:
"I declare I never had any Intention
to Incriminate the character of an officer
whose service has been particularly bril
liant. In expressing myself as I did on
his account, I only repeated what tha
Minister of War had previously expressed,
and I join in the eulogies he addressed to
the loyalty of tha Army."-
"We accept your, apoloj-y," cried M. de
Cassagnac.
M. .Deschanel then, read a number of
orders of the day criticising the govern
ment's -attitude, and one proposed by M.
Leon Bourgeois, Republican Radical,
couched, thus: "The Chamber, approving
the acts of the government and confident
of the devotion ot the army to the father
land and the republic, passes to tho order
of the day." The first part of tha motion
of Bourgeois, "approving-the acts of the
government," was adopted by 83 Votes
agamst 247, and tho second was passed
unanimously. '
The session was then adjourned untfl
Thursday next, and the Chamber emptied
amid Ministerial shouts of "Vivo la re
publique." The Waldeck-Rousseau Cabi
net thus emerged victorious from the
most -vigorous assault yet delivered against

TAMMANY'S ATTITUDE.
John Cnrroll Issues a Statement
.. Understanding With, Bryan.
NEW YORK, May 23. Jghn F. Carroll,
leader of Tammany Hall, In the absence
of Richard Croker, gave out the follow
ing carefully prepared statement last
night:
"I do not believe that the attitude of the
Tammany Hall organization, at tha state
convention, will be either doubtful or
equivocal. As far as I have' been, able to
consult with the representative men of
tho organization, they entirely accord
with my views of both the propriety and
expediency of sending to the National
convention a delegation instructed for W.
J. Bryan as the Presidential candidate.
"It is safe to say that every delegate
will favor the programme, and whatever
Influence T may possess will be exerted to
impress the desirability of Its adoption
upon the delegates from the other locali
ties In the state."
Mr. Carroll declined to add a word to
the statement, but it "is 'understood .it

counties favor an Instructed delegation?
