T 2 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1900. tr WE MUST HOLDTHEM Philippines in the Pathway of the World's Commerce. TELLER'S SPEECH IN THE SENATE A Republic May Hold Colonies, He Saya, But They Should Partici pate in the Government. "WASHINGTON, June 4. The Senate convened at 10 o'clock today, with no special order of business in view. Mor gan (Dem. Ala.) reported from ..the com mittee on interoceanic canals e resolution declaring the Clayton-Euley treaty ab rogated. He gave notice that he -would call the resolution up tomorrow. Allen (Pop. Neb.) asKed that an hour he set aside today for the consideration of pension bills. Pettigrcw (Sil. S. D.l objected. He said there to ere many bills on the calendar which were more meritorious than the pen sion bills. The pension laws, ho thought, tv ere defective and unjust, and splal favors were being granted for political effect. Further, he declared that more pension bills had been passed at this ses sion than at any session for years.' , Gallinger (Rep. N. H.), chairman of the committee on pensions, challenged Pettl grew's statement as to the number of pension bills passed. It was then, on mo tion of Allen, agreed that a recess should be taken this evening rrom 6 o'clock un til 8. Aldrich (Rep. R. I.) reported from the' committee on finance a mil to provide bet ter facilities for the safekeeping of public money in the Philippines and in Cuba and Porto Rico. The bill provides for the deposit of money by the Goernment in euch banks on the islands as will deposit with the Gocrnment as security United States bonds to the full amount of the deposits. The bill was passed. Several private measures were passed. After many efforts had been made by Senators to obtain consideration for -various billa, all of which were blocked by objection. Teller (Sil. Colo.) addressed the Senate on the Philippine question. He referred to the speeches on the same sub ject -delivered by Beverldge (Rep. Ind.), Lodge (Rep. Mass.) and Spooner (Rep. Wis.), declaring they contained a strong political bias, and an evident desire to ad vance the policy of the Admlnlstratloa rather than to arrive at a Just and right eous solution of the problem presented. He declared the speeches of the Senators he had referred to had eacn contained eu logistic references to trie President -of the "United States, tvhlch, he said, were syco phantic In character. Some of the speech es of the Republicans ha'd" been marred, in his opinion, by attacks upon the late Democratic candidate for the Presidency (Mr. Bryan). It would be his effort not to make a political speech, although, he added, "my remarks may.be tinged with my opposition to the Republican party." He was one of those who believed Ameri can sovereignty attached to the Phlllp plne, to the Island of Luzon, at least "When we became masters of the Island pf Luzon, we became -.practically mas er of all the islands. Further along, Teller said: "I believe a republic may have and may hold colonies, but those colonics must be founded on a partlclpatlen in the govern, ment of the people by tho colonics. I see no way to surrender the Philippine Isl ands." Nobody, so far as he knew, had advocat ed the abandonment of the Philippines. As to the question relating to the Philip pines, as it will be presented in the ap proaching campaign," teller said: "I don'T; know whether 'Imperialism is to be an issue In the coming campaign or not. It will not be, unless the Republi can party shall make It an Issue.." He referred to the speech of -Hoar (Rep. Mass.), m showing infinitely more concern as to tr-s fate of the Itepubllcan party et the elections- of next November than that Justice and right should be meted out to the Filipinos. So It was, he declared, with the Republicans everywhere. if. was the most striking part of the Senator's speech, said he, that he had. presented so strong an appeal to his party not to face defeat in the campaign by, refusing to change Its policy. Entering upon a sharp and extended crit icism of the government provided by Con. gross for the people of Porto Rico, Teller said it was part of the imperialistic p6llcy of the Republican party. In conclusion Teller said he .would not support the Re publican party in the approaching cam. palgn. "I did not support its financial policy, and I do not support the Philippine policy us foreshadowed in the pending measure (the Spooner bill), and I do not want to give up the Islands, either. They should be a source of great advantage to us. They stand In the great pathway of the commerce of the world, and they can be made of immense value to this country." At the conclusion of Teller's speech, "Wolcott (Rep. Colo), chairman of the committee on postoffices and' postroad, moved to recommit to the committee a bill for the classification of clerks In firs' and second-class postofllces. Wolcott said it had been stated that the first ard sec ond-class 'postoffice clerks of the country had contributed $10 or more each to be devoted to lobbying this bill through Con gress, a caue abolutely sienseless and t0n-rinse whatever. As lobbyists, tVoU cott said, some good men. perhaps, and certainly some notoriously bad' men, "had been employed. He thought the -clerks ought to be advised that such contribu tions gained them nothing. Butler (Pop. N. C.) Interjected the re mark that the amount assessed-upon the clerks had reached the sum of $600,000. "Wolcott said he had utile doubt of that, as every lobbyist with a political pull was on the pay-roll. The bill was -then recommitted. The following bills were passed: Chang ing the place of holding the United States Court from Cameron, I. T., to Poteau, L T.; to provide for the use of timber and etone for domestic and industrial purposes In the Indian Territory; referring to the Court of Claims for adjudication the claims of Smith. Meyer snd Pelse, archi tects of the Congressional Library build ing. "When the House bill for the regulation of trusts was received, Pettlgrew-moved that It be placed on the calendar, .Instead ot referring to a committee, as usual in such cases. Gallinger suggested the Importance of the bill, and moved it reference to the committee on Judiciary. Pettlgrew said he would ask the ayes and noes on this motion, and expressed the opinion that Congress should not adjourn finally without enacting sprue, anti-trust legislation. Tho chair decided a motion; previously entered by Allen, to go into executive ses sion, to be In order, and this motion pre-A-alled without division. The Senate re mained in executivo session until 5:45. and when the doors were reopened some rou tine buslne was transacted. The parliamentary status of the anti trust bill was asked for by Hoar, and ths chair stated that it had been read -once. ' but could not be read a recond time un less by unanimous consont, and until It was read a second time, no motion to refer or to consider was In order. Allen asked unanimous consent for Its second reading. Aldrlch objected, saving that the Mil coulq not be passed at this session. It then went over until tomorrow. Pettlgrew giving no tice that he would move to consider It tomorrow morning. The Senate then took a recess until S o'clock. The NlKht Session. At S o'clock the Senate reconvened. Pet tlgrew "taking the floor on "the Philippine question. He criticised; the Administra tion for not giving Congress and the peo ple full- Information concerning affairs In the Philippines, and said that most of the Information received had come through "a censored press" apd private letters. Speaking of some of the infor mation furnished by Spooner (Rep. Wis.) to the Senate, he said It was supplied only to "Administration Senators," and "was not available to those of us opposed to the Administration's Imperialistic pol icy." At great length Pettlgrew argued that the Filipinos were allies of the United States. He said he had no desire to im peach the veracity of Admiral Dewey, out since the Admiral had denounced as false his (PettlgreWs) statement that the Admiral had recognized the Filipinos as allies, and had saluted their flag, he (Pet tlgrew) felt it Incumbent upon him to present the facts and let the American people Judge as to the Admiral's veracity. He presented a mass of matter In sup port of his contention, but nothing nett except a letter from the executive officer of the Olympla, Admiral Dewey's flag ship, who wrote that, while no naval salute was made to the Filipino flag, -the Olympla's flag was dipped to- the Filipino colors. This, Pettlgrew contend ed, was a salute to the Filipino flag. Among other documents quoted by tho South Dakota Senator was the protest signed by the American correspondents at Manila against the censoring of their dis patches by General Otis, and the letter explanatory of that protest written by Robert M. Collins, of the Associated Press. Discussing the Spooner bill, now pend ing, Pettlgrew quoted a dispatch from Manila, published today, saying that Judge Taft, head of the Philippine Com mission, had expressed, upon his arrival at Manila, surprise that the Filipinos had not heard of the Spooner bill, "by which, Pettlgrew said, "Taft was to be come the Civil Governor of the Philip pinesthe despot of the island." The reason they had not heard of it, Pettlgrew added, was that the Adminis tration had changed Its mind, and there was now no intention of passing the bllL Pettlgrew will conclude his speech tomor row. The following bills were then passed: Granting right of way for a water-pipe line through the public lands to the town of Flagstaff, Ariz.; authorizing the ap pointment of George "W. KIrkrnan as a Captain In tve .Army; authorizing the Seneca Telephone Company to construct and maintain lines in the Indian Terri tory; to provide for the sale of Isolated and disconnected tracts or parcels of the Osage trust, and diminish reserve lands In Kansas. The Senate at 10:53 o'clock adjourned until 1 o'clock tomorrow. COEUR. D'ALEXE EWESTIGATXOX. Minority Report Cenrrarea McKinley, Merriant and Stenncnberg1. WASHINGTON, June 4. Tho minority report on the Coeur d'Alene investigation was given out today by Representatives Lentz, Of Ohio, and Hay, of Virginia, who drafted it. Tho following is a sum mary of Ite main features: "The. minority points out that the evi dence . taken during the investigation shows that there was absolutely no riot ing Mn. ' Shoshone County, Idaho, after April .29, 1S99; that when the United States troops arrived upon .the scene quiet had been restored, and no resistance was be ing made to the etate authorities, who were arresting as rapidly -as possible those who were suspected of being Implicated In the crime of April 23, 1S99. "It Is maintained by tho minority that tho troops sent to Idaho by the President of the United States continued to be under the control of the President, and that the military commander in charge could only uee the troops In aid of the civil authori ties of the state to preservo peace and order, and to prevent resistance being made by lawiess persons to the process of the courts and the proper civil authori ties of the state: Tho President of the United States has kept and still keep ing sojdlers li that community, and by so doing Is upholding the tyrannical course of conduct pursued by the Governor of Idaho. The minority points out flagrant Instances of abuse or power and violation of law by General Merrlam, the command en of the troops: "1-GeneralMerrlam sent on May 3 about 150 troops to" the fown of Burke, nnd ar rested, j without warrant, the entire male population of the town, consisting of about 300 persons.' irwas'fin outrage on the liberty of the citizens which has no par allel In the annals of this country. "3 General Merrlam eent a detachment -of troops' into the State of Montana for tho purpose of arresting fugitives from the State Of Idaho, an Inexcusable exer- c!s 6f arbitrary power by General Mer T'am. "3 Lieutenant Lyon, acting under tho order of his superior officer, by threats of violence forced certain citizens to work In the Tiger-Poorman mine against their will. No such .flagrant invasion of the right of the citizen can be cited In the h'story 61 this "country. "4 Major Smith suppressed the Mullau Mirror, a -newspaper published at Mullan. thus denying free -peech and free press. This wop a gross violation of law, wholly unjustified. t "5 The permit 6ystem. In fact, a black list system approved by General Mer rlam and kept In operation to this day bv tile presence of the military forces of the United States", Is a violation of law which" cannot he defended." ; In eummlng up the minority says It is 'satisfied from the evidence adduced be fore the committee that General Merrlam .was wholly mistaken as to his powers and duties; that his conduct has resulted In the gravest injustice to the liberty of the Individuals. "Innocent men have been kept In prison for months without trial, and have been Anally' discharged without any charges being preferred against them. At on time or another there were over 1100 men In the prison at "Wardner known as the "bullpen. They were kept there many months. They were not tried. They were not charged with any crime: the? were held and guarded bv United State troopa It was th duty of General Mer rlam and of the Pres'dent of the United States to inquire Into the causes and reasons for the detention of so many Arwrlcnn citizens. No such Inquiry was ever made. Such indifference Is hard to understand and harder to excuse. The plea, that General Merrlam was acting at the request of the Governor of Idaho and his etate representative, Bartlett Sin clair, is not good. Neither the Governor nor Sinclair had the right to violate tho law. And General Merrlam knew it or should have known It. "Although the Governor of Idaho has for a year and more been governing Sho shone County by martini law, he has never called the Legislature together; the laws of Idaho provide thnt-e seaslon of the Leg islature can be- called on 20 days' notice. The minority holds that the Preeldent Is not Justified In keeping United States sol diers Indefinitely In Shoshone County at the mere wlll-of -one man, when tho Xeglslature, representatives of the peo. pie, could have- been and ought to b convened, and- their wishes ascertained." The majority report was alw completed today and pubmltted to the minority mem bers, but It will not be made iuhllc until approved by the House ml'itary com mittee, which condu"Ud the investigation.

Only Four Bills Remain In Dispute Everyt&ins Indicates a Final Adjournment "Wednesday. "WASHINGTON, June 4. The House to day agreed to the Senate amendment, to the sundry civil bill, appropriating l",G0rt. 000 for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. There was not a word ot debate on concurrence In the amendment. It was after C o'clock when the matter camo up, and owing to the lateness of the hour, and the overwhelming majority in Its favor, the opponent of the fair appio priatlon did not make a show of oppo sition. They contented themselves with demanding a roll-call, which resulted 127 ayes to 75 noes in favor of the proposition. Only four appropriation bills remain In dispute between the two houses. Tawney (Rep. Minn.) Is maklnfc nn effort to delay final adjournment unless action Is bad on the Grout oleomargarine bill, but he met with no success today. All scenes about the House presaged the near approachof final adjournment. Lead ers in charge "of the appropriations were all in attendance. The galleries were thronged with advocates of belated bills, engrossing clerks were hurrying about, and the Speaker was constantly bebieged by members with private bills, which they desired to get through. Three members were on the floor demanding recognition on a question of personal privilege after the Journal had been approved. Alexander (ReD. N. T.) was first :eog nlzed. His question of privilege was an echo of the bitter fight now being waged In Northern New Tork against the nomi nation of J. R. Hazel, as a United States District Judge, and consisted of a denial of statements made in a speech by tx- Ropresentative S. B. Mahany, of Buffalo. MIers (Dem. Ind.), ao a matter of priv ilege, moved tho.adoptlon of a resolution of Inquiry, offered more than a week 030, and which had been reported back from the committee on Invalid pensions, within the time in which it must be reported back upder the rules. Tfcw resolution called upon the Secretary of toe Interior for all reports relating to the dropping from tha pension rolls of certain widows. He un derstood, he said, that more than 30 wid ows have been dropped from the roll upon the report of Special Examiner Good love, who, he was Informed, had askei the widows questions which could not be repeated in the House. He also was In formed, although he did not believe 16, that the Commissioner of Pensions had authorized this infamous line of questions. Special Examiners Harris and Room, he Was Informed, had made special reports upon Mr. Goodlove's action, for which both had been reduced. The line of in quiry complained of had reference to the character of the widow since her hus band's death. Mlers had read an inter view with cx-Commlssioner of Pensions Tanner, denouncing the propounding of such Insulting questions to the widows of soldiers. "By the Eternal," said he, In conclusion, "I propose that the country shall know what truth there is in these charges." Ray (Rep. N. T.) criticised the resolution as being indefinite and unintelligible. The words of the resolution were "certain wid ows." "Who were they, he demanded to know. He insisted that names and resi dences should be gtven. He challenged Micrs to give the name or one widow. "I will, to the gentleman's shame," said Mlers, amid applause from the galleries. "Is the gentleman prepared to give names of widows who have been offend ed?" persisted Ray. "I will respond in my own time," re plied Mlers. "The gentleman's response," retorted Ray, "shows the purpose of this resolution. It is a covert assault on the Secretary of 4 the Interior and the Commissioner of Pen- I sions." Lacey (Rep. la.) said he did not presume Mlers expected tb- resolution to be adopt ed. "It has served the gentleman's pur pose," said he, "In giving him an oppor tunity to make a speech. If any specific charges are made-, they will be Investigat ed. The resolution should be voted down." The chair held that the pending qnes tlon was to discharge tse committee from the consideration of the resolution, aid not on the adoption of the resolution, and that the pending" question was not debat able. His decision cut" off debate. The motion was lost. 111 10 131. This left the resolution still In possession of tho committee. Grout (Rep. Vt) presented the confer ence report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Fitzgerald (Dem. Mass.) criticised the action of the conferees In striking out an appropriation of $1S00 tor the St. Joseph Orphans Asylum (Catholic), in thl3 city, and Inveighed against the narrow religious prejudice which crusbd out these worthy charities because they were Catholic. "Tho same sort of legislation," he said, "was enacted In Germany and resulted In building up a great Catholic party there, and If this sort of thln-r continues in this country, a similarity may spring up here, although I hope nothing of the kind v. ill ever be necessary." The only Item still In dispute between the two house. wis the aopnpn?tion of $100,000 for the Municipal H bpttal. in this city. This appropriation wi? concurred in. Tho bill now goes to th i--isldcnr. Cannon (Rep. 111.), chairman of the ap propriations committee, then presented the conference report on tun sunl.v civil ap propriation bllL It was a uarral report, covering about two-thirds of the items In disagreement. Cannon explained, with reference to the, Items still In controversy, that the Senate amendments were not sub ject to a point of order in the House, though, as original propositions,, they would be subject to a point of aider. Neither could the House amend such amendments. The result was thit the House was helpless. It was- forced to act on propositions which could get- through J the House In no other Tt-uy. , . "I will not say this system lsrjnf smqus, ' said he, "but it is thoroughly bad.' J should be glad to have the concurroai-c of the House in rejecting these apprapria. lion? not authorized by law.' The partial conference was adopted and Cannon then moved that the House. Insist on Its disagreements to the Other Items, Various members demanded separate votes on a dozen of the items "till In dis pute. Boutell (Rep. Ill) demanded a sep arate vote on the appropriation of $3,000,(0) for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The amendments on which separate votca were demanded were considered in" their order. A motion to recede and concur In the amendment appropriating $30,000 10 commence the construction ot ths me morial bridge across the Potomac River was defeated, 117 to 31. Tawney (Rep. Minn.) attempted to se cure an adjournment in the Interest of the Grout oleomargarine bill, but bis mo tion was defeated. Boutell made the mo. tion to recede and concur In the St. Louis fair appropriation. Owing to the latjapsj of the hour, Boutell said he was -willing to vote without debate. "Vote, vote," came from all sides of the House. "I think the House should understand what It is voting on." observed Steel a (Rep. Ind.). "Everybody does," shouted a dozen mem bers. ' " Steele did not claim Ihe fl-or. and tho vote was taken without debase. On tbo division It stood 100-66. "I demand the ayes and noes," said Sims (Dem. Tenn.). "No, no," came from some friends of the appropriation; but the de-naii was seconded and the roll-call prdsred. The amendment was carried, 127-71. The "an nouncement was greeted wKh-loud ap plause. The other amendment? wer then disagreed to, and the bill was sent back to conference. -, ". The emergency river and harbor bill was sent to conference. Burton (Rep. O.), Reeves (Dem. HL) and Catchlnjs (Dem. Miss) were appointed conferees. At 7:05 P. M. the House adjourned. CLAYTOX-BULTVER TREATY. Senate Committee Iteports Favora bly on It Abrogation. "WASHINGTON, June 4. Senator Mor gan, from the commlttea on lnter-oceanic canal, today favorably reported a resolu tion for the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty. As reported the resolu tion reads; "That the treaty known as the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty between Great Britain and the United States, which was con cluded on the 19th day of April, 1S30, Is abrogated." Morgan, made a writes, report travers- Ing tho grounds for abrogation of tho treaty in considerable detail. The re- port Is practically a plea for the House ! committee's Nicaragua Canal bill. In It, Morgan says, If the Clayton-Bulwer treaty stands In the way of tho purposes of our Government, It must give way to the par amount law if the Hoube bill is enacted into a. statute of the United States. He Forecast forJ admits, however, that it Is a question whether It is an obstrutlon. The effect of the Hay,-.Pauncefote ne gotiation is discussed in detail, and the conclusions Is drawn that "as to all that relates to the canal, the Hay-Paunce-fote treaty, If it is ratified, terminates and abrogates the Clayton - Bulwer treaty." "But If the Senate should reject tits Hay Pauncefote treaty," he said, "th st.irtllng question will be raised whether ihe Sen ate, In the exercise of its treaty -making power, can abdicate or paralyze its trtaty maklng power. Can one-lhird of the St. ate, by defeating the Hay-Pauncefoti ne gotiation, compel a majority of She Senate -to abstain from enacting the House Vi, because the Clayton-Buiy-or treaty would thereby be put Into full eAoit as .v. bar to such... actions?" In conclusion, the report ?ayr that "If the Clayton-Bulvjer- treaty Is in for.;e, am1 If Great Britain, so Insists the clear duty of Congress Is to declare that t is aLro.- gated. If the treaty is abrogated, ihe conclusion Is that the way Is cleared for proposing to Nicaragua and Costa Rica, such terms as may be appropriate for ac quiring In those states whatever rights and powers they aro at liberty to concede to enable the United States to construct and control the canal, and also to open tho way for such a general declaration ns fo the neutrality of the canal as shall meet the approbation of the civilized powers. "If this resolution is rejected and tho Hay-Pauncefote treaty Is not ratified. we will be left," says the report "to tHfe- al ternative we should now accept of declar ing that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty can not stand as a perpetual barrier, if such is the pleasure of Great Britain, against the right of the United States to construct and own a ship canal m connection with Nicaragua to connect tho waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The possago of the House bill now pending should be the first step in the lndltpensable move ment, and the Senate should not permit the conclusion It may have on the Hay Pauncefote treaty, which Is a minor con sideration, to obstruct the will of the ma jority of this body in its action on. the House bill." SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. Items Agreed to and Disagreed to in Conference. "WASHINGTON, Juno 4.

BANDITS DRIVEN OFF. Desperate Attempt at Tralnrolibery in Texan. ST. DOUIS, June 4. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Longview, Texas, says: The northbound Cannon-ball train on the International & Great Northern was held up after midnight near Price's! Switch, 60 miles south of this city, and but for the plucky fight of Express Messenger Rutherford and Baggage Mas ter Strong and the strategy of Engineer Rich, another robbery would have taken place. The engineer saw a pile of cross ties and lumber on the track and stopped. He was ordered down by three masked men, who forced the engineer and fire man to uncouple the mail, 'baggage and express cars and pull about two miles from tho remainder of the train. The robbers then commanded the messenger to open the door of his car and falling tp get any response," made Fireman Love break a hole In the end with a coal plckL While this was being done the fireman begged the messenger and baggagemen not to shoot The messenger, who was well protected by a barricade, said ho would kill the first man who entered the hole. Love was forced In and the mes senger shouted, "Get aside. Love," as he fired through the hole. His shot just missed the robbers, who undertook to kill the messenger by shooting through the side of the car. In the confusion re sulting. Engineer Rich crawled upon his engine, pulled the throttle wide open and left the robbers behind. A quick run was made to Jacksonville. 15 miles north.
