PASSED NAVAL BILL
Senate Disposed of Another
'Supply Measure.
SUBSIDY DEBATE CONTINUED
Cattery Occupied the Floor Through
out the Day in Opposition to the
Bounty Scheme More Efforts
to Prevent Consideration.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1L Shortly after
the Senate convened today the naval ap
propriation bill -was passed. The shipping
bin was then taken up and kept before
the Senate during: the remainder of the
legislative day. Caffery occupied the floor
throughout the session. Opposition Sen
ators made the point of no quorum sev
eral times, and demanded a call of the
Senate.
When the Senate convened Turley pre
sented the credentials of his successor,
Edward W. Carmack, elected a Senator
for a term of six years, beginning March
4, 190L Teller presented the credentials of
Thomas M. Patterson, elected a Senator
from Colorado for the same term. The
credentials of both Senators-elect were
filed. A bill providing for an additional
District Judge in the northern district of
Illinois was passed.
The naval appropriation bill was then
taken up. Tillman had expected to dis
cuss the armor-plate question, which was
before the Senate when the bill was laid
aside Saturday. He said he desired to
present evidence which would show the
bad faith with which the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies had treated the
Government. The companies had said
positively they were unable to make
Kruppe armor for less than Si5 per ton,
yet they had entered into a contract for
armor at a lower price. He would be sat
isfied, he said, if the chairman of the
naval affairs committee. Hale, would cor
roborate what he said.
Hale xeplled that there was no question
about the accuracy of Tillman's state
ment. Pettlgrew said that when a member of
one of the armor-plate concerns was be
fore the appropriations committee he ad
mitted that the Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies had an agreement to bid the
same sum for armor.
Tillman declared that the high price
named In the contract for armor was
fixed as an Inducement to the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies to make a large
contribution to the Republican campaign
fund. The bill was passed without divi
sion. Hanna then moved to take up the ship
ping bill. The motion prevailed by a vote
of 33 to H. Caffery addressed the Senate
In opposition to the bill, declaring It
would not promote the commerce and In
crease the foreign trade of the United
States, as its title proclaimed, but was
really designed to furnish a, donation to
certain steamship lines. He believed that
no new lines would spring Into existence
under the bill, as the entire subsidy would
be absorbed by the present lines. He
thought the bIH unconstitutional, and
dwelt at length on the large amount of
subsidy It gave to high-speed ships. Caf
fery asserted there was nothing in the
pending bill that would be of advantage
to American seamen.
Hanna Interposed to say that one of
the objects subserved by the bill would
be the increased number of places afford
ed to seamen upon American vessels. He
pointed out that the wages paid by ves
sels under the American flag "were just
about twice as large as those paid under
any other flag, and under the provisions
of this bill, American shipowners would
be able to pay such wages, and, at the
same time, meet foreign competition In
the carrying trade.
"By actual count." Interjected Jones,
"there are Just 10 Republican Senators in
the Chamber. I suggested the absence of a
quorum." The roll call disclosed the pres
ence of 56 Senators. Jones thought there
must be some good reason for the "man
ifest Indifference" of so large a part of
the Republican Senators to this bill. In
his opinion, the reason for the "manifest
Indifference" was that no Idea prevailed
that In the 17 days of the session remain
ing, the bill, a Senate measure, which
would have to be passed by the House to
become a law, could be disposed of. He
regarded It as "absurd" that any thought
of passing the measure at this session
should be entertained. He then moved
that the judiciary committee be dis
charged from consideration of the anti
trust bill passed by the House, and that
the Senate proceed to Its consideration.
Pending that motion, Wolcott said he
felt It his duty to say In reply to Jones
statements that at this time In the ses
sion many Senators were obliged to ab
sent themselves from the Senate chamber
in order to attend the Important commit
tee work. Their absence did not at all
Indicate an Indifference as to the ship
ping bill.
Upon objection by Chandler, the mo
tion of Jones, under the rules, went over
until tomorrow, the Arkansas Senator gl
lng notice that he would press it at that
time if he could do so without antagon
izing the appropriation bills.
Piatt explained that the judiciary com
mittee for several days had had the anti
trust bill under consideration, and he pro
tested that the committee should not be
discharged summarily for Its work.
During Caffery's speech the Senate was
called several times to produce a quorum.
Finally, at the conclusion of one of the
calls. Frye, chairman of the committee
on commerce, said: "The commerce com
mittee has permission of the Senate to
sit during sessions of the Senate. If
Senators desire to have a river and har
bor bill at this session, it may not be
possible for the committee to report it
if continually interrupted by the calls of
the Senate."
"In order to aid the committee," sug
gested Jones, facetiously, "it might D
well for the Senate to take a recess while
the committee is In session."
Caffery's speech was further interrupt
ed by a brief executive session and the
passage of a resolution offered by Spooner
calling upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury to furnish the Senate the number and
tonnage of vessels engaged in foreign
commerce, the number now engaged in
the coastwise trade "that could enter the
foreign trade under the pending bill, and
also the amount of subsidy each vessel
would receive under the bllL The resolu
tion also calls for the number of foreign
built vessels authorized to come under
American registry by the bill and the
amount of subsidy each would receive, and
the number of forelgji ships registered as
contracted to be built under the provi
sions of the blM.
Aldrlch. Allison and Jones (Ark.) were
appointed conferees on the war revenue
bill.
eRsumlng, Caffery declared that the
bill "Is a bald, bold grant of the people's
money to fill the pockets of shipbuilders
and shipowners. As such. It Is absolutely
unconstitutional and void. It is robbery
under the form of law. You can tax the
people for a public purpose, but you can
not give away the people's money for a
private purpose."
Before Caffery concluded, the Senate, at
6.35 P. M., went Into executive session,
and at 6 o'clock adjourned.
XOMI?ATIONS OF BRIGADIERS.
Trro Executive Sessions of the Sen
ate Held Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1L The Senate
held two brief executive sessions today
for the consideration of the nomination
of Brigadier-Generals sent in by the Pres
ident in the Army reorganization bllL In
the first session, the nominations which
had been favorably commented upon, were
committed to the committee on military
affairs. During the afternoon, there was
a hurried committee meeting, at which a
favorable report upon all the Brigadier
nominations before the committee were
acted upon, and at the second closed ses
sion of the Senate, they were all reported.
These favorable recommendations include
not only the nominations heretofore re
ported, but also nominations of Generals
Wood, Grant and Bell, which had been
previously passed over, and also those of
Generals FItzhugh Lee and James H. Wil
son, whose names were sent to the Sen
ate today. When the nominations were
reported, Senator Pettlgrew objected to
favorable consideration, and they went
over until tomorrow, under the Senate
rules. It Is understood there will be a
change In the order In which the nomina
tions were made which will relieve them
of the criticism that was made on account
of the high relative position the original
assignments gave certain officers.
The Senate confirmed the following nom
inations: Major-General Nelson A. Miles,
to be Lleutenant-General; to be Major
Generals Brigadier-Generals S. B. M.
Young, United States Army: Colonel Adna
R. Chaffee, Eighth Cavalry, United States
Army (Major-General. United States "Vol
unteers): Brigadier-General Arthur Mac
Arthur, United States Army (Major-General,
United States Volunteers).
The Anti-Trust Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. The anti-trust
bill was again under consideration by the
Senate judiciary committee today, but no
progress was made toward securing a re
port. Some of the members of the com
mittee expressed the opinion after the
close of the meeting that no report would
be made at present session of Congress.
The bill as It passed the House is neither
satisfactory to the Republican members
nor the opposition. The latter element,
however, has proposed that the bill be re
ported as It passed the House, with a view
of getting It before the Senate and there
attempting to amend it, but the Republi
can Senators have taken the position that
the bill should be perfected In commit
tee. The committee has practically agreed
upon Senator Hoar's amendment exempt
ing labor organizations from the opera
eratlons of the present law, but has made
no other definite progress.
The Spooner Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. The Senate
committee on the Philippines today au
thorized Senator Lodge to report the
Spooner amendment. Introduced Friday,
concerning the government of the Phll
innlne Inlands as an amendment to the
Army appropriation bill. One slight ver
bal amendment was made. As tne amena
ment was Introduced it provided that
r11 mllltarr. civil and Judicial powers
necessary to govern the Islands shall be
vested In such persons as shall be named
by the President, etc. The word "judicial"
was stricken out Because it was me opin
ion of the committee that all Judicial
functions are embraced In the civil ad
ministration. The Democrats on the com
mittee made no opposition to the report
ing of the amendment. The provision will
next be considered by the committee on
military affairs.
Omnibus Claims Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1L Senator War
ren reported from the committee on
claims an omnibus bill aggregating $2,9S9.

ed at Envoys' Meeting.
BERLIN, Feb. 1L "Tomorrow will be
held a meeting of the- foreign envoys,"
says a special dispatch from Pekin, "but
without the Chinese plenipotentiaries, who
constantly Interrupt, and render any ac
tion almost impossible. Hereafter, the
foreign envoys Intend to communicate
only In writing, and to designate their
decision as irrevocable. M. Pichon,
French Minister, with General Myron,
went today to Pao Ting Fu for a short
stay."
The Berliner Tageblatt publishes a dis
patch from a correspondent In Siberia,
who cites evidence going to show that
Russia considers that her recent acts have
annexed Manchuria and Mongolia.
France and the Alliance.
PARIS, Feb. 11. During the discussion
of the Foreign Office budget in the Senate
today M. Aunay called attention to the
situation in China, saying It was pregnant
with difficulties, and that he feared the
powers would Impair the integrity of
China. M. Decasse, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, said the powers' adhesion to the
French pioposltlons showed that the In
terests of each were thereby safeguarded.
He added:
"If we are ready to defend tenaciously
our interests and our rights, we profess
the same respect for the rights of others.
Chinese affairs have afforded the oppor
tunity to prove the community of inter
ests of France and the United States, and
the common action of France and Russia
in China, as elsewhere, shows that the
alliance was being dally strengthened
by the equal advantages which each
of the powers drew therefrom. France
deserved that party spirit should end
where the grave Interests began." Hearty
applause followed this statement.
Alliance Headed by Russia.
ST r. iRSBURG. Feb. 11. The Bourse
Gazette, in advocating an alliance be
tween France, Russia, America and Japan
to offset the Anglo-German alliance, which
a portion of the press persists in believing
real, says the other three powers should
accept Russia's leadership and make
peace without delay, regardless of the Anglo-Germans.
'Barton Hill's Sad Journey.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11. Barton Hill,

THE UNEASY SPANIARDS
DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE
ARISTOCRACY AND JESUITS.
The Trouble In Madrid Largely Due
to the Presence of Count Caserta
Riots in Other Cities.
MADRID, Feb. 1L Count Caserta, fa
ther of Prince Charles of Bourbon, spent
the afternoon yesterday In the grounds of
the palace. The Countess also did not
leave the palace precincts.
In an Interview today, Senor Sagasta.
the Liberal leader, said he disapproved of
the noisy demonstration, but be thought
the presence of Count Caserta in Madrid
was unnecessary, and that he ought not
have come to the marriage, as he might
have foreseen his presence would create
trouble. Senor Sagasta severely con
demned the brutality of the police.
"The government," added Senor Sagas
ta, "hopes the agitation will cease the day
of the wedding, but I doubt it, A carnival
Is often the occasion for disorders. I am
astonished that many people do not attach
importance to these events. It is Impos
sible to foresee what the future has In
store. We know how events begin, but we
never know how they will end."
The disturbances of last night, which
were more menacing than those previous
ly occurring, left a decided spirit of un
easiness in official circles. The day passed
without a startling incident. But the
crowds increased during the day. The
idle classes have been wandering In the
streets, apparently waiting the cover of
night to give vent to their hatred of the
aristocracy. The Puerta del Sol (a large
square In the center of the city) was the
principal gathering spot. Mounted civil
guards patrolled it all day long. With the
fall of night the assembling increased un
til the square was black with people. The
single cries and low-toned murmuring
were becoming louder until the outcry al
most became a roar.
At 7 o'clock, the guards cleared the
space and their numbers were increased,
for the carriages of the higher classes
of people, diplomats and others, have to
traverse the square In going to the ball at
the palace tonight. As the papal nuncio's
carriage was stoned yesterday evening, it
Is feared the other diplomats may now
suffer.
MADRID Feb. 12, 2 A M. Yesterday,
a day awaited with some anxiety in offi
cial circles because It was the anniversary
of the establishment of the Republic,
which was accentuated by recent mani
festations, passed off more quietfy than
several days of late. Just after nightfall
an Idle crowd, chiefly composed of street
gamUs, gathered on the Puerta de Sal,
but when shouts arose the civil authori
ties charged and cleared the space, after
which there was no disturbance.
Meanwhile the aristocrats of Spain
gathered at the palace to attend a court
ball In honor of the wedding of the Prin
cess of the Asturlas and Prince Charles of
Bourbon. The magnificent structure,
which was ablaze with electric lights,
could scarcely accommodate the long line
of guests. The members of the diplomatic
corps awaited the royal party, which en
tered promptly at 10 o'clock. The Queen
Regent was escorted by the Count of
Caserta. The Queen and her partner
opened the dance within a reserved space.
The room was densely packed, and circu
lation as well as dancing was virtually
impossible for two hours. The people
were literally jammed In, and it was not
until the Queen Regent, on the arm of
her brother and followed by her mother
and the royal party, left the ballroom
that any one could move about in the
dense throng.
The whole scene was a bewildering spec
tacle of court grandeur, In which bril
liant uniforms were less noticeable than
evening dress. Particularly noticeable
was the cordiality everywhere extended to
Ambassador and Mrs. Storer. It Is esti
mated that there were 5000 guests at the
ball.
Demonstration at Granada,
GRANADA, Feb. 11. A mob paraded
the streets here today shouting "Long
live liberty!" "Down with the Jesuits!"
A crowd gathered around a cenvent and
shots were fired from within. The crowd
Increased In size, and the Prefect, with a
detachment' of gendarmes, appeared. The
Prefect entered the convent, and when
he emerged he explained that the shots
were fired by a couple of gendarmes with
in the convent, in order to attract as
sistance. They had not flred on the mob.
The latter renewed Its anti-Jesuit cries
and attempted to break Into the building,
but gendarmes dispersed the rioters. Ex
citement still prevails.
Martial Larr at Valencia.
VALENCIA Feb. 1L Deputy Ibanez
headed the demonstration here when the
Prefect's carriage was stoned. The mob
threw petroleum on the monastery of Ca
mlllez, but the gendarmes succeeded In
preventing a conflagration. The disorder
continued all day. A procession of the
rosary did not leaVe the church, owing to
the threatening attitude of the crowd.
Martial law has been declared. The stu
dents presented themselves at the gate of
the university, and, finding It closed, pro
tested against the holiday and marched
to the Prado, shouting, "Down with the
Jesuits!"
Saragossa Monks Stoned.
SARAGOSSA, Feb. 11. During an anti
clerical demonstration here today, the stu
dents stoned several monks. They were
dispersed by police and gendarmes. Dem
onstrators carrying a republican flag flred
on the gendarmes, and a Sergeant and
several people In the .crowd were wound
ed. The troops are now confined to bar
racks. Captain-General Borrearo was
greeted with cries of "Long live the re
public!" having reference to his repub
lican antecedents.
Many Arrests Made.
LONDON, Feb. 1Z A Madrid special
received at midnight says:
"It is asserted tonight that about 40
arrests have been made. Several police
men and some of the rioters have been
Injured In Madrid, as well as several
rioters and four gendarmes at Saragosso,
where martial law has been proclaimed."
BOER WAR NOT ENDED.
England's Need for More Mounted
Men at the Cape.
NEW YORK. Feb. 11. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The dispatch which was issued yester
day by the War Office goes a long way to
prove that the big reinforcement of 30,000
mounted men now under orders for the
Cape Is really essential to the fulfillment
of Kitchener's task. An engagement, In
which the attacking force numbered 2000
Boers, and which resulted in at least 24
men being killed, cannot be considered a
mere guerrilla attack. Nobody nowadays
affects to believe that the South African
campaign Is virtually over, and It Is quite
evident that a general surrender of the

Boer forces Is not likely to take place
for some time to come. Louis Botha
. failed in his attack on Dorrien's camp,
but, although he suffered severely, he ap
pears to have Inflicted sufficient losses
on the British forces to prevent the re
pulse from being turned Into a serious de
feat. The Boers everywhere seem to be
displaying increased audacity, and peace
proposals are not likely to meet with a
cordial reception as long as the present
bitter feeling between the Boers and the
Britons In South Africa lasts. Nothing
would delight England so much as to hear
that Dewet's persistent attempts to gain
a footing In Cape Colony has at last
ended in his capture.- Already irresponsi
ble people are beginnlg to advise the mili
tary authorities what they should do with
him, and an influential newspaper sug
gests, in the event, of his being caught
alive, that he should be tried for murder.
Plague at Cape Town.
CAPE TOWN, Feb. 1L The govern
ment has decided to give notice to the
foreign nations of the fact that Cape
Town Is Infected with bubonic plague.
There Is no longer any doubt as to the
nature of the disease.
Joseph Chamberlain has addressed a
communication to Sir Alfred Milner ap
proving the latter's remarks made In his,
reply to the Afrikander deputation sent
with a resolution addressed to Queen Vic
toria. "The government has no intention,"
says Chamberlain, "of changing the policy
which it has repeatedly declared, and
which has been approved overwhelmingly
by the empire."
Thefts of Military Stores.
LONDON, Feb. 12. The Pietermarltz
burg correspondent of the Daily Mall
says:
"There have been wholesale thefts of
military stores, and prominent officials
and merchants are implicated. Several
arrests have been already made along the
railroad line."
The Cape Town correspondent says a
report has been received there from Dela
goa Bay asserting that the natives of
the North Transvaal have risen against
the Boers.
Depends on Devret.
WILLISTON, Cape Colony, Feb. 1L
The Dutbh here say that the Boers have
decided If Christian Dewet's incursion Into
Cape Colony Is not successful, they will
treat with a view to surrender, being
tired of the war.
GERMAN HUSBANDISTS.
Their Struggle Compared With That
of the Boers.
BERLIN, Feb. 11. Baron von Wagen
helm, in the opening speech at the annual
meeting of the husbandists, held here to
day, compared the struggle of the hus
bandists for protection to agriculture with
the resistance of the Boers In South Af
rica, declaring that the husbandists and
the burghers were alike fighting against
"rank mammonlsm." In the course of
his address he alluded slghtlngly to the
late Count von Caprlvl and to Prince von
Hohenlohe. Dr. Roeslcke said: "If we
do not secure sufficient agricultural duties
and the projected commercial treaties,
then German agriculture Is doomed."
A resolution was adopted demanding
that the government grant such protec
tion to agriculture as would enable it to
form prices independent of the Bourse.
"Above all," said the resolutions, "Ger
many must not grant the same tariffs to
countries discriminating In their tariffs
as in the case of the United States."
Cambou and the Kaiser.
PARIS, Feb. 11. The Gaulols today says

"Well, M. Cambon, are you not coming
to greet me?" and as the latter ap
proached, the Emperor added:
"I wish It to be well known that I love
France very much and shall never allow
her to be touched."
"Sire," replied M. Cambon, "I thank
your Majesty for what you have been
good enough to say. France Is a peace
ful country, but If ever she Is attacked
she Is capable of defending herself, quite
alone."

toms tariff will very Bhortly be concluded.
He hoped soon to submit the draft to

Hearing of Arguments Before the
Cincinnati Judge Closed Yester
dayPreparations Continue.
CINCINNATI. Feb. 11. The hearing of
arguments by Judge Holllster on the ap
plication for a permanent injunction
against the Jeffrles-Ruhlln contest here
next Friday night closed shortly after 6
o'clock tonight. Judge Holllster an
nounced that he would reserve his decis
ion until 11 A. M. next Thursday. This
means that the present suspense of the
Saengerfest Athletic Association, the con
testants and others will continue until the
day flxed for the contest. All the ar
rangements at the big hall and elsewhere
are completed and the sale of .tickets
continues brisk.
Manager Brady was In court a short
time this afternoon, but Ed Cook, Mad
den and all the rest were busy in their
arrangements and usual programmes were
carried out at both quarters. The argu
ments of Hertensteln, Bettinger and Wil
son, for the defendants, and of Harmon
and Wald, for the plaintiffs, were very
vigorous today, and commanded the clos
est attention. The plaintiffs urged the
court to make a precedent for such ex
traordinary cases. Counsel for the de
fense replied bitterly to the plea for In
venting precedent. The most remarkable
address or argument was by Gustavus
Wald, who closed and who, as a repre
sentative German, Insisted that he did
not represent any creed or class, but the
Interests of secular government.
Most of the clergy of the city were In
the courtroom. Wald turned to them
when he said that neither he or any mem
ber of his family belonged to a church
and that none of his kindred for gener
ations have belonged to any chuch, and
that he was opposing the prizefight for
the Interest of the state.
Fred Hertensteln, counsel for the de
fense, argued at length against the juris
diction of the court of equity in a case
where no property rights are affected,
holding that the contest could not be
held to be a public nuisance for the pur
pose of restraining the defendants In ad
vance of their act. Then he maintained
that the defendants are law-abiding citi
zens and never contemplated the violation
of law; that they propose to give a legal
boxing contest and not a prizefight. Her
tensteln stated that Jeffries and Ruhlin
were the only .ones who could tell Just
what would hap'pen next Friday night and
that they were not put upon the stand by
the plaintiffs.
Judge Judson Harmon followed for tho
plaintiffs. He maintained that prizefight
ing was a crime in Ohio, and that they
had shown In evidence that the event
next Friday was to be a prizefight for the
championship of the world and a large
reward. He said the Mayor made a fool
ish promise and insisted on keping it and
that the municipality, including the po
lice, were In collusion with the defend
ants and hence It was necessary for the
state to Interfere and restrain this fight
as a public nuisance. He insisted that
the Governor would use all the power of
the state to prevent the contest and ap
pealed to. the court to restrain the pro
moters so that there would be no con
flict between municipal and state forces
