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.

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.

FOR THE ST. LOUIS FAIR
HOUSE AGREES TO THE $5,000,000
APPROPRIATION.
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."

Post-Dispatch from Longview, Texas,
says:
The northbound Cannon-ball train on
the International & Great Northern

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. At daybreak, the penitentiary
bloodhounds were 'brought from Rusk
and put on the trail.
This hold-up occurred near the place
where the same train was robbed five
years ago."
