THE MOANING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1900.
POLITICS IN SENATE
Hanna, Hale and Tillman Led
in the Debate.
FIRST IT WAS THE BOER WAR
Armor-Plate Quentlon Then Canned
Controversy Naval Appropria
tion Bill Sent Back.
- WASHINGTON, June 1. The Senatorial
debate today was caustic and as warm as
the weather outdoors. At -times the ex
changes between Senators bordered on
personalities. Much of the discussion waa
of a political nature, although In them
selves" the questions Involved were not
essentially political. Soon after the Sen
ate convened, a memorial was presented
from the people of California asking that
Ihe Government provid sotae relief for
the starving people of India. Hale", with
this as a text, severely arraigned-Great
Britain for expending hundreds of mill
ions of dollars In crushing liberty and
freedom in South Africa, Instead of car
ing for the helpless and dying people of
England's chief colony. Aldrich charged
Hale with making political speeches on
irrelevant matters, and a little later,
when Hale reported a further disagree
ment on the naval appropriation bill, an
exciting discussion arose over the armor
plate question. A sharp political twist
was given to the debate by a speech
which Hanna delivered in favor of leav
ing the whole matter In the hands of the
Senate conferees, and of conferring discre
tionary powers upon the Secretary' of the
Navy In accordance w 1th the House prop
osition. Ho became involved In a contro
versy with Tillman and Allen over the
Government's ability to manufacture ar
mor satisfactorily, in which the sparks
flew, to the Intense interest of the audi
tors. Teller, Allen and PettlgreW replied
to Hanna, all speaking In a political vein.
The bill finally was returned to confer
ence. Seventy-nine private pension bills
were passed, and also the Military Acad
emy appropriation bill. The Military
Aeademy bill carried amendments mak
ing General Miles and all future com
manders of the Army Lieutenant-Generals,
and General Corbln a Major-General.
Consideration of the last of the appro
priation bills, the general deficiency bill,
was begun, but was not completed.
The Proceedings.
Perkins (Rep. Cal.) presented a petition
from organizations and individuals of his
Etate asking Congress to make an appro
priation for the relief of the famishing
people of India, and ho asked that it be
xeferred to the committee on appropria
tions. Ho was not, he said. In possession
of sufficient information to cnab.e him to
prepare a proper resolution dealing with
the qucston. In 1S97 he had asked for and
procured ships to carry to India provisions
given by the citizens of California. Ore
gon, "Washington. Nebraska, Kansas and
Iowa. The provisions aggregated 4000
tons. No official acknowledgment had
ever been received of that donation so
far as he was aware. He hesitated now,
therefore, to press a resolution looking
to the relief of the people of India lest
tho Government of Great Britain might
not look with favor upon the action ot
Congress in sending to India unsolicited
alms, as It might not look with favor on
a. friendly Intervention by this Govern
ment In the South African War.
"Tho world has been horrified almost
stupefied," Interjected Hale (Rep. Me.),
Epeaklng with deliberate emphasis, "at
tho suffering now being endured in India.
That is the chief of England's cplonies.
The pestilence and famine are appalling
to the Imagination. Whole families are
being wiped out of existence; the., babe
lies dead beside Its mother. The situation
is awful. Now, the Senator comes here
with a proposition that wo should appro
priate money for the relief of these peo
ple. I should like to ask the Senator
what England has done for the people of
India. She has spent tens and hundreds
of millions of dollars in striking down
and crushing republics. It is the most
brutal manifestation of strength against
liberty and weakness that the world has
ever seen; and I am moved, therefore, to
ask the Senator what Great Britain has
done to relieve tho suffering of her Indian
subjects. What has he in the way of In
formation upon that point? What Infor
mation has he as to England's action In
this matter uhlle she Is spending hun
dreds of millions In destroying the Boer
Republics?"
Aldrich (Rep. R. I.) Interjected some
caustic remarks about making pro-Boer
and political speeches every time a peti
tion was presented, and then Perkins, re
plying to Ha'.e, said he fully realized the
force of Hale's question. "I am not ask
ing the Senate to take action at this time.
I ask that the memorial be referred to the
committee on appropriations. In order
that the members of the committee may
carefully consider the subject." It waa
eo referred.
For the conferees on the naval appro
prlation bill Hale reported another dis
agreement on tho subject of armor plate,
and the surveyors' course of study at the
Naval Academy. He said there was an
absolute deadlock between the conferees
of the two houses, and he expressed a
desire that Senators state their views, so
that the conferees might have the benefit
of their opinions and suggestions.
Tillman (Dem. S. C). one of tho con
ferees, declared he would rathor see the
bill fall than that the Senate should yield
to the Bouse proposition.
Hanna (Rep. Ohio), a member of the
committee on naval affairs, said that since
his advent into the Senate he had devoted
considerable time to a study of the armor
plate question. He was familiar with man
ufacturing, and had some knowledge of
the. armor matter from personal Investiga
tion. He was In favor of tho construction
of a formidable navy as rapidly as pos
sible, and was satisfied the delay in the
navy's building now was tlue in a great
degree to the opposition of the Senators
Irom. South Carolina (Tillman) and New
Hampshire (Chandler) to tho payment of
a reasonable price for armor.
"The responsibility for this delay," said
The. "rests upon these two Senators for
putting a price on armor below that at
which it would be manufactured by any
concern In the country, and the Senator
from South Carolina has given you the
animus of his opposition when he said
that he would rather see the bill fall than
to see any concessions mado to the armor
companies."
On his responsibility, as a Senator, he
was satisfied to say that $443 per ton was
not only a reasonable, but a low price for
armor.
"Did not the Illinois Steel Company,"
inquired Wellington (Rep. Md). "offer to
make the Government's armor for 2G0 per
ton?"
"Yes. It did," replied Hanna. "I know
something about that transaction. It was
a pure bluff. The company had no idea
that Its offer would be taken seriously."
"In addition to that," Interjected Pen
rose (Rep. Pa.), "the company stipulated
that it should have a contract of G000 tons
annually."
"That Is true," said Hanna, "but it did
not want the contract at any price."
Further along Hanna argued that It
would be the part of wisdom to place the
matter within the discretion of the Secre
tary of the Navy, who was everywhere
regarded as an upright and honorable man.
Hanna argued that it would be Impossible
to construct an armor plant under five
years that could supply the Government
wi'h suitable armor, and then It would
cost perhaps 50 per cent more than It
could be procured for from a private con
cern. "Has the Senator ever read Mr. Car
negie's testimony," Inquired Tillman, "in
which he cold that ho could begin the
manufacture of plate within nine
months?"
"Oh, yes," replied Hanna, "and it mgy
be said in that connection that Mr. Car
negie hsfi everything In Teadlness for the
manufacture of the plate at that time."
"Well," retorted Tillman, "when the
Senator Is so reckless in his statements, 1
thfcik It is just as well to call his attention
to some facts."
"If I were so reckless In my statements
as is the Senator from South Carolina,"
said Hanna. warmly, "I should feel badly
about it."
Hanna then proceeded to point out that
It would be Impossible to get the neces
sary presses for the armor-plate factory
under two years, as they had to be road
on special order, and he declared that It
now was Impossible to make a contract
for an engine ot 1000 horse-power to be de
livered under a year and a half. .
"How does it happen," Inquired Tillman,
"that several steel mills have recently
been shut down. If that be truer
"The same man who said he could man
ufacture 6teel armor plate at $200 per ton,"
.retorted Hanna, "closed down the steel
mills to influence the stock market,"
"That is the way with men when they
become millionaires through tho medlurs
of trusts,"- returned Tillman, caustically.
""They all become liars and thieves."
"Well," replied Hanna. calmly. "I hope
tho Senator does not quite mean that."
"Oh;" said Tillman. "I mean the remans
only as a general proposition."
Hanna was then proceeding with his
discussion of the manufacture of armor
plate, carrying his description from tho
ore mines to the completed ehlp, when
he was interrupted by Allen (Pop. Neb.).
"Is the Senator Interested In the man
ufacture of armor-plate?"
"I am not," emphatically replied Hanna.
'"Has the Senator ever manufactured
armor-plate?" pursued Allen.
"No."
"None but political armor-plate," sug
gested Allen, sarcastically.
"None but political armor-plate," re
torted Hanna, turning squarely to Allen.
"And I have found that pretty Invulnera
ble." (Applause and laughter.)
In concluding, Hanna protested against
the malting of the armor-plate question a
personal matter. "I protest," said ho,
"against 'the statement of the men who
say that they would rather see this bill
fail than that It should pass containing
a provision to pay a reasonable price for
armor."
Elklns (Rep. W. Va.) contended that
the proper way to dispose of the matter
was to leave It to the Secretary, but It
might be well to fix a limit to the price.
Allen said this discussion had brought
out the fact that the friends of the trusts
were in the saddle. No previous -discussion
had been sufficient to bring Hanna
or Elklns to the front, "but the moment
that we attack one of these trusts that
are preparing to rob the country of mil
Tons of dollars," he said, "they appear
here as advocates of this great octopus,
and undertake to persuade the Senate that
the Government should not manufacture
armor-plate, but that it should stand up
and allow Itself to be rifled."
Teller (Sll. Colo.) said that long be
fore the Senator from Ohio "had taken any
part In public life he had been advocating
and voting for the increase of the Navy.
"Now." he said, "we aro guilty of treason
If we don't fall Into the Ideas of the Ad
ministration on imperialism, and if we are
not willing to allow the Government to
ne robbed we are charged with being
against, the Navy."
Continuing, Teller said he had not In
tended to bring politics into this contro
versy, but that when the chief representa
tive of the Republican party, as he regard
ed Hanna. came here as the champion of
thn combination?, he felt that he wns jus
tified In saying that tho Republicans ex
pect to repeat this year the tactics of
18. which consisted of levying assess
ments upon every manufacturing Institu
tion In the country.
"I deny the statement," Interjected
Hanna. "It is not true."
"I expected the denial," responded Tel
ler. "Technically, the charge may not
be true, but subtnntlally it Is. It Is no
torious that -the National banks were all
assessed. Even the banks of Colorado
were notified that they were expected to
make contributions for the election of the
Republican ticket."
Hanna The First National Bank ol
Denver was the recipient of all the con
tributions of the Democratic Campaign
Committee, and Its president was the solicitor-general
for them.
Teller If that Is true, the amount
raised was lnconwqiiPntIal.
Hanna Over $200,000.
Teller Oh, no; I know of everv dollat
that went through that bank for the cam
paign. Hanna So do I.
Teller Then the Senator knows that
the amount was not $200,000 nor $100,000.
either.
Continuing, Teller fald that. In view of
the fact that the policy of, 1S96 was to
be repeated In 1900, It was not difficult
to account for the Interest of the friends
of the armor-plate makers In the Sen
ate. He did not suppose that the disposi
tion of the armor-plate question had any
thing to do with Carnegie's declaration for
McKinley. but hedld know that the class
of men for whom he stands seemed to
feel that It was essential that he should
be re-elected. This was a mistake. If they
meant to pursue fair methods. He con
cluded with the assertion that the meth
ods of the friends of the Administration
would not bear Investigation for an hour.
Pettlgrew (Sll. S. D.) asserted that the
two armor-plate manufactories of the
country had been built up on -the profits
received from the Government; that they
were ln,WUus!on, 'and that they had sold
armbr-pTate'to the Russian Government
for $200 per ton. He said that If the price
to Russia had been increased, as Hanna
declared, to $545 per ton. It was only be
cause there was an International armor
plate combine. He said he was not sur
prised to find the manufacturer who col
lected the funds for the Republican party
In 1896 standing up in the Senate and de
fending "this combination for plundering
the Treasury of the United States."
An aye and no vote was taken on Hale's
motion further to insist upon the Senate
amendments to disagree to the proposed
amendment of the House as to armor
plate, and that the Senate agree to a
further conference. The motion was
agreed to unanimously, G7 votes being
cast. Hale, Perkins and Tillman were ap
pointed conferees.
Seventy-nine pension bills were passed.
The Military Academy appropriation bill
ias passed, with the following amend
ments: 4That the senior Major-General
commanding the Army shall have the
rank, pay and allowances of a Lleuten-ant-General,
and his personal staff ."hall
have the rank, pay and allowances author
ized for the staff of a Lieutenant-General";
that "the Adjutant-General of the Army
shall have the rank, pay and allowances
of a Major-General In the Army of the
United States", and on his retirement shall
receive the retired pay of that rank," this
latter provision to apply only to the pres
ent Incumbent, General Corbln; "that the
corps of cadets shall consist of one from
each Congressional district, one from each
territory.' one from the District of Co
lumbia, and 50 from the United States at
large, not more than two of whom shall
be from the same state. They shall be
appointed by the President, and shall be
actual residents of the Congressional of
territorial districts, or of the District of
Columbia, or of the states, respectively,
from which they purport to be appointed."
On motion of Fairbanks (Rep. Ind.). It
was agreed to consider the Cuban extra
dltlon bill Immediately after the general
deTlcleney bill. Hoar (Rep. Mass.) declar
ing that It would be a National scandal If
action were not"had on the bill prior to
final adjournment. An agreement was
reached that the deficiency bill should be
read tonight, uncontested amendments to
be passed upon, but contested amend
ments to go over until tomorrow. The
bill was read, all commltee amendments
adopted, and at 7:15 P. M. the Senate
adjourned.

Appreciation of General Sickles' Re-
siarks at Fredcrlclulinrg
An Excltinff Scene.
IXUISVIliI.E. June L Tho 10th annual
reunion of the United Confederate Veter
ans adjourned sine die. The morning ses
sion ended in great excitement and com-
slon. The trouble arose at the conclusion
of the presentation of the report of tho
committee on resolutions. A resolution
had been incorporated In the report to
the effect that the convention of Confed
erates recognized with appreciation the
language of General Daniel E. Sickles, tho
orator at the annual reunion of tho Army
of the Potomac at Fredericksburg, In
which General Sickles had mentioned most
kindly the men of the Confederacy, and th
resolution said tba Confederates recipro
cated the feeling shown toward them by
the men of the Arcny of the Potomac
General Gordon put the question of the
report. There was a chorus of "ayes," and
when he called for the vote in the nesa
tivo he said: "The ayes have it." After
he had announced the vote there came a
few cries of "no." General Gordon said.
"I did not think that there would be any
negative votes on such a question, but as
there were some after I had declared the
vote, I will now resume it."
The author of the resolution. W. II.
Burgoyn, made a strong plea for Its adop
tion. He said that he had been present
at the meeting at Fredericksburg, ani
had heard the kindly sentiments expressed
by the soldiers of the North, and he de
sired the passage of the resolution merely
as a matter of courtesy.
Colonel J. H. Shepherd, of Richmond,
Va secured the floor and said:
"I want no coquetting with the Yankees
who defeated us. For God's sake don't
accept anything from their hands. Don':
accept anything from Union soldiers. Vote
It down: comrades vote It down."
Instantly there was a terrific uproar.
Dozens of delegates were on their feet
demanding recognition from the cnalr.
General Gordon finally restored order, and
in respect to a call for his opinion, said:
"I trust the time will never come, while
I stand on Southern ground or among tho
chivalrous men of the South, when I will
refuse to send a kindly message to an
enemy."
Then, coming down to the front rail of
the platform, the General raised his voice
In emphatic earnestness, Eaylng:
"I know the sender of this message. On
tho heights of Gettysburg he stood gal
lantly in front of my lines, and It was
my bullets that sent him to the rear with
a leg off. For me, I am going to recipro
cate the kindly message of the Northern
soldiers."
Wild cheers greeted the declaration.

In response to a communication from the
attorneys of the Chinese Six Companies,
stating that the quarantine now being
maintained is causing great destitution
among the Chinese, most of whom are
dependent upon their dally labor for their
support, the Board of Health has asked
the representatives of the companies to
submit an estimate of the dally supply of
food necessary for indigent persons In
Chinatown, which estimate will be pre
sented to tho Board of Supervisors for
action.
An autopsy at which tho Chinese will be
represented will bo held on every suspi
cious case of death in Chinatown. Efforts
will be made to secure detention stations
on Islands n the bay with accommodations
for 7000 persons.
Consul-General Ho Yo states positively
that the Chinese will never submit to the
haffkine treatment. He says that the
prices of food have risen 25 per cent
since the quarantine was declared, and
adds that if they are not fed by the
city, resort will be had to the courts. He
complains that the Chinese quarter is
without police protection nnd sapa that
highbinder outrages may be resumed. In
fact, there was a murder within the lines

having some further communication with
the State Department respecting the com
plaint by his Government against the
treatment of its citizens by the health
authorities at San Francisco, In connec
tion with the quarantine against the

plaint Is that not only have the Japanese
residents in San Francisco as a whole

authorities enforced the regulations as to
Inoculation not only with severity, but
with great rudeness.
People of the better class, among them
a member of the Japanese Parliament, It
Is asserted, have leen treated with great
Indignity, and Japanese ladles residing
outside of San Francisco and returning
from shopping trips have been rudely
seized and obliged to submit to Inocula

ter, who are state officials, assert that
they have been acting under the direc

Inclined to accept this responsibility, and

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.
General Wood Says the Reports
Have Been Exaggerated.
NEW YORK, June 1. A dispatch to the
World from Havana says:
General Leonard Wood, Military Governor-General
of Cuba, authorizes the
World correspondent to cable to tho
World the following statement from him
relative to the frauds in the Cuban postal
service, and the general condition of the
Island:
"I firmly believe that the Irregularities
In the Cuban postal service which amount
to plain theft only, are all that will be
discovered. - The postal service has not
been under my Jurisdiction. I learned of
the frauds, Instituted an inquiry, and. took
steps to secure the punishment of the men
implicated,
"I have since Inaugurated a thorough
"investigation into all the departments, and
am confident that the conditions of the
affairs of the postal service do not exist
fn any other branches. Of course, there
have been many rumors. Inspired by the
postal scandal, of fraudulent transactions
In the other departments the customs
service, the engineers' department and the
department of parks. Lhave every rea
son to believe that these departments have
been conducted In a most businesslike and
honest manner. If there Is one depart
ment I am sure of, It is the customs
bureau. You can readily understand that
men who have been In the habit of swin
dling the Government under the Spanish
regime do not take lcindly to the Intro
duction of the methods inaugurated by
the United States. I think that on the
whole the entire public service of Cuba
has been Improved."
"Should you discover the existence of
Irregularities In any other department.
General, what would be your action?"
"I would Institute a thorough Investiga
tion and punish the offenders," replied
the General firmly.
"Has an Intimation been conveyed that
the Administration at Washington would
for political reasons rather that no other
scandals be disclosed, and, that the full
extent of the Irregularities In the postal
service be kept a secret as long as pos
sible?" was the next question.
"I have not received suoh an Intima
tion," was the answer. "It la my place
to find out whether the Government serv
ice Is properly administered. If I find It
Is not. I shall insist upon the immediate
punishment of any offender, no matter
who he may be, or what Influence, po
litical or otherwise, may be exercised to
protect him. I am responsible for the
honest conduct of the Government, and
any person found guilty will be punished'
"What have you to say regarding the
reports of .unwarranted extravagance on
the part of the officials sent by the United
States Government?"
"There Is nothing In the condition oi
affairs to Justify such a statement. I know
a number of officials who bave been com
pelled to spend more mbney to maintain
the dignity of their rank and Country
than the United States has allowed them.
They have drawn upon their private in
comes to do so, and the Government has
pot been called upon to foot "their bills."
"How many have been found guilty of
fraud and either quietly dropped from
the service or placed under arrest?"
"Very few, and with one exception all
were In civil branches of the service. Out
of CO.OOO soldiers sent to the island, but
one man has been directly charged with
embezzlement. He was a volunteer officer,
and the amount of his stealings was $10.
He was tried, found guilty, and sentenced
to three years. Aside from Neely, Reeves.
Rich and other men Implicated m tho
postal scandal, there are a number of
men awlting trial for perpetrating frauds
In the customs service. If guilty they will
surely bo punished."

SAFE CRACKERS' WORK.
Cttsens Aroused hy the Explosion
Held at Bay hy the Robbers.
DES MOINES, June 1. The safe of tho
Bank of Sheldahl was blown up last night
by robbers, who secured $16C0 and escaped,
after holding 50 citizens at bay with rifles.
Shortly after midnight a terrific explosion
shook the town, and Immediately the "n
habitants turned out to Jenrn the cause.
A glance up the main street showed the
building of the savings bank to be In ruins
and the. timbers burning. Fifty citizens
rushed to the place, to be met by two
rifles In the hands of two strangers, who
ordered them to ha'.t. As the ruins burned
brighter, two other strangers were sen
looting the wrecked safe. The crovtu nad
brought no weapons. The two robbers on
guard threatened death to the man who
moved from his tracks, and the helpless
citizens wore compelled to witness tho
robbery of their savings without lifting a
hand in remonstrance. When tj two
robbers who were looting the safe had se
cured all the money available, they Joined
their two confederates, and with leveled
rifles the four marauders lined up the
band of citizens, who stood with hands
held high as ordered until the four rob
bers had backed away Into the darknes3
and fled. The bank building is a total
wreck. The loss is estimated at $3000, in
addition to the $1600 secured by the rob
bers. No trace of the robbers- has been
discovered.
