censorship!
Leads to Another Spirited
Debate in the Senate,
STATEMENTBYGENEBALGREELY
Cullom DlHcnsftex the Rights of the
Treaty-Making: Povrer Xlevola-
tionsry DIschbbIoh Brosght
Up by Money.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. For an hour
today the Senate had under discussion the
question whether a censorship of press
dispatches existed In Manila. "While no
such turbulent scenes as yesterday's wero
enacted, the debate for a time -was very
spirited. The Secretary of "War -was
) quoted as saying that no press censor
ship now exists in the Philippines, and a
letter from General Greely, Chief Signal
Officer of the Army, was presented by
Beveridge, making the statement officially
that there Is no censorehip of press dis
patches, and that "the press Is entirely
free." It was contended by the opposition
that a press censorship does exist in the
Philippines and that copies of every news
dispatch filed with the cable company are
filed with the military authorities. That,
it was maintained, constitutes a virtual
censorship.
The Routine Report.
At the conclusion of routine business a
bill providing for the use by the United
States of devices invented by its naval
officers while engaged in its service and
covered by letters patent was passed.
Cullom, chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, then addressed
the Senate on the constitutionality of that
portion of the DIngley act which author
ized the negotiation of reciprocity
treaties. He said that the wording of the
provision was peculiar and mixed, but It
seemed plain that all treaties negotiated
must have been made and ratified within,
two years after the passage of the act.
Therefore, if that act is to control, It
would be useless to ratify the treaties.
Senator Cullom continued:
"In my opinion, the fourth section of
the DIngley act, so far as- It attempts to
confer, limit or define the treaty-making
power. Is not only an interference with
the powers of the President and Senate,
but Is unconstitutional because it comes
in conflict with that clause of the Consti
tution which says that, the President
'shall have power, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, to make
treaties.' "We do not, therefore, derive our
treaty-making powers from a law of Con
gress, and no law of Congress can. In any
way modify or limit these powers. The
DIngley act cannot limit the time in which
we shall be allowed to make a treaty."
Cullom contended that the fourth sec
tion of the DIngley act should be taken
as a mere expression of the view of Con
gress, and that the President did not need
authority to make the treaties. Cullom
discussed the provision of the Constitu
tion declaring that bills for raising reve
nue must originate In the House, and
said: v
"From the decisions and statements of
Justices Storey, Miller and Harlan, I can
not see how this clause would make It
necessary to submit a reciprocity treaty
to the House before It becomes effective.
The language of the clause Is that 'all
bills for raising revenue, or liv which rev
enue may incidentally arise.' A reciproc
ity treaty is not a bllL It Is true that It
reduces a duty which has been laid by
law, but I maintain that the treaty-making
power has authority to change a tariff
law the same as It has authority to
change any other act of Congress, and we
have seen that it has been clearly held,
from the decisions of Chief Justice Mar
shall down to the present, that the Presi
dent and Senate by treaty can change or
modify u law of Congress."
Cullom also said:
"This question before us here has been
before the Senate for 100 years. The ex
ecutive and the Senate have taken one
position, and this Is that a treaty is the
supreme law of the land. That position
has been sustained by the Supreme Court.
On the other hand, during all these 100
years, the House of Representatives has,
as a rule, insisted that they should be
considered In reference to certain treaties.
That does not relieve us, the Senate, of
the duty of standing for our prerogatives
and our rights, and insisting that the
rights of the executive shall be main
tained. A treaty made by the executive
and ratified by the Senate is the supreme
law of the land as well as an act of Con
gress. If the Congress is not satisfied
with the treaty it has a perfect 'right to
repeal It, let the consequences be what
they may. But until such action Is taken
the treaty remains a part of our law."
Addressing the Senate, Money took issue
with the statement of the Senator from
Massachusetts, (Hoar), a few days ago,
to the effect that the State of Massachu
setts had furnished more troops In the
"War of the Revolution than all the sec
tion south of what was known as the
Mason and Dixon line.
Hoar explained that In whatever he may
have said upon the subject referred to by
Money, he had no purpose of instituting
a comparison between any sections of the
country.
Lodge insisted that consideration of the
Philippines measure should be proceeded
with, and declined to .yield the floor for
Bacon to continue the revolutionary dis
cussion. His disinclination Irritated Till
man, who said:
"You can't gag us In your effort to force
this Philippine bill. How does the Sen
ator get his own permission to be so in
vidious and so ungracious?"
Lodge disclaimed any intention of being
ungracious. Lodge was about to proceed
when he was interrupted by Hoard, who
said:
"The most emphatic argument against
this whole Philippine business"
"Is the healthy discussion of the patri
otic Impulses of our ancestors," inter
jected Tillman, taking the Idea, perhaps,
If not the words, out of the Massachu
setts Senator's mouth.
Continuing, Lodge said that a careful
examination of the Associated Press dis
patch showed that General "Wheaton had
not criticised the Senate, but had con
fined his comment to the utterances of
Mr. Schurman, whom he had a perfect
right to criticise, In Lodge's opinion.
Galllnger read an extract from an Asso
ciated Press dispatch from Manila, pub
lished today, saying that General Wheat
on's vigorous criticisms referred entirely
to Professor Schurman's speech at Bos
ton. He did not think the Senator from
Idaho would contend that General Wheat
on has not the right to criticise a private
citizen.
"What I contend," replied Dubois, "Is
that It Is In exceedingly bad taste for an
Army ofilcer to criticise the utterances or
Professor Schurman, a man who was sent
by this Government to the Philippines In
a responsible official capacity, to ascer
tain the facts of the situation over there
'1 am glad," continued Dubois, "that
the gentleman on the other side of the
chamber Is forced to admit the accuracy
of the dispatch Introduced here. That
dispatch Itself was censored. I will say
there is a censorship in Manila, in my
judgment. No newspaper man can file a
dispatch with Jthe cable company in Ma
nila -without filing an exact copy or dupli
cate of It with the military authorities.
Xou may quibble over that fact. In my
opinion, that Is a censorship."
Q,HCxtion of Ccnuorjriiip,
Lodge said he had called upon the Sec
retary of War last evening and had been
assured by him that there is no censor
ship of press dispatches In the Philip
pines. "Now," said Lodge, "1 give my
authority. Let the Senat6r from Idano
give his."
"My statement Is made 'upon my respon
sibility as a Senator," replied Dubois.
"Our committee (the Philippine commit
tee) can ascertain the facts If they are
desired."
Beveridge presented n-ictter from Gen
eral Greely, Chief Signal Officer of the
Army, dated today, the essential portions
of which are as follows:
"Censorship In the Philippine Islands
has been removed entirely between these
islands and Europe and America, save in
the case of code messages of unauthorized
firms having no standing. The press is
entirely free. Necessarily, a limited cen
sorship is maintained over messages in
the Philippine Archipelago, and to adja
cent points, wherein Insurgent troops and
agents are in active hostility against the
United States. Press messages are not
censored to any place in Europe or Amer
ica, but only to points where the Insur
gents are actively engaged, through jun
tas or other agencies, such as in Hong
Kong or Singapore."
Beveridge thought General Greely's let
ter ought to settle the question of censor'
ship of press dispatches.
Dubois Inquired whether, if It should
appear that his statement was accurate,
the Indiana Senator would consider that
censorship.

MARCHESA CAPRANICA DEL GRILLO, KNOWN AS ADELAIDE
RISTORI.
The 80th birthday of Marchesa Cpranlca del Grlllo, better known to the world
as Adelaide Bistort, the famous actress, was celebrated yesterday by benefit per
formances In all the theaters of Italy. The proceeds were offered to the jreat
actress, as there is a popular Impression that her fortune has been reduced by
bad Investments, but she declined to accept it, and requested that the receipts bo
invested In a fund for the benefit of destitute and invalid members of her profes
sion. The fund will be. known hereafter by her name. The Government of Italy
celebrated the event by striking a sold medal In honor of IUstorl, which bore on
one side a profile nd on the other an appropriate inscription. Bistort was born to
the stare. Her father and mother were both actors, and she made her debut when
3 months old. being Introduced in a part by her mother. ."When she was 4 years.
old she had. a walking part, and played a Juvenile role until ehe was 10, when she
bad won truVClclenl fame to command a salary for herself. On June 4, 1S5G. she
made her debut In the Drury Lane Theater. London, In "Medea," and made her
first appearance In America In October, 1SC5, remaining In the United States for
two seasons, and playing In all the principal cities. Her second visit to the
"United States was In 1S73, and her third In 18S5. which closed her dramatic
career. Since then she has not appeared In public,' except at benefits and at oc
casional performances for charity.
to the present discussion of the Philip
pine triff bill," replied Beveridge, "but
the filing of copies of dispatches with the
authorities is not censorship, if no ac
tion by them is taken to prevent their
transmission."
Wellington thought It had been demon
strated that there existed In the Army In
the Philippines a decided spirit to criticise
Senators who were opposed to the war in
the Philippines. Ho denounced the war as
"unrighteous and unjust." He believed
that both members of Congress and pri
vate citizens had the right to hold views
in opposition to the Administration's "Im
perial policy." and to express those views
without subjecting themselves to the crit
icism of Army officers.
Stewart delivered a brief speech. In
which he declared that the people never
would consent to relinquish the Philip
pines. He believed they would prove or
Immense value to this country In many
ways.
Bacon gained the floor and criticised
Lodge for declining to yield to him at the
time ho desired to proceed, insisting that
according to the usages and proprieties ot
the Senate he had a right to the floor.
Tillman said he desired to "draw a few
draughts from tho fount of liberty," but '
would postpone his remarks upon the his
torical subject which had been broached
until tomorrow, when he would make
them while the Philippine measure was
under discussion.
As Cullom was about to move an execu
tive session Hoar suggested that the Sen
ate now might have a "little discussion
of the character of Mary, Queen of t
Scots," and amid laughter the Senate, at (
4:35 P. M.. went into executive session,
and at 4:40 P. M. adjourned.

operation will not be necessary."
'My leave of absence expires about
March 10," said General Funston today,

TREA1Y WITH DNMARK
THE SEXATE FOREIGN COMXITTKE
GIVES IT ATTENTION.
Members "Want Mere Information
About the Islands, hat "Will
"Report It Favorably.
WASHINGTON Jan. 29. The treaty with
the Government of Denmark for th ces
sion of the West Indian Islands, owned
by that country, to tho United States, to
day received its first attention at the
hands of the Senate committee on fqrelgn
relations. The committee adjourned with
out taking action. This postponement of
action was not due to opposition of the
treaty, but rather a desire on the part of
the committee to secure from the State
Department all the information possible
concerning the resources of the islands
and the advantages to bo secured by their
control by the United States. All the
members of tho committee. Including sev
eral Democrats, expressed themselves as
of the opinion that the possession of the
Islands would be advantageous to this
-4
country from a strategic point of view.
The present prospect Is the treaty will be
favorably reported after another meeting
devoted to Its consideration.
There was some discussion as to the
effect of the treaty upon the inhabitants
of the West Indies, but this apparently
was settled by the conclusion that any
resident of the Islands could maintain his
allegiance to Denmark as long as he de
sired to do so. There Is no provision In
the document itself for a plebiscite, but
the general opinion among members of
the committee, aa brought out In the meet
ing. Is that Denmark will exercise the
privilege of permitting the Inhabitants of
the islands an opportunity to express by
ballot their preference in the matter of
transfer.
EXCLUSION BILL HEARING.
LlvcrnaHli Concluded Ills Argaaeat
Before Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. E. J. Llver
nash, of San Francisco, today concluded
his argument before the Senate commit
tee on immigration, begun last Monday,
in behalf of the Chinese exclusion bill.
He had never, he said, discovered, after
diligent search for Information, any in
timation that the trade between the
United States and China had decreased
on account of the attitude of this Gov
ernment on the exclusion question.
In response to a question by Mr. Pen
rose, he said that the arguments ad
vanced by the Southern cotton producers
that their trade with China would be
severely crippled were not well founded,
because it had been proved that senti
ment was not a controlling factor in
trade. Answering another question by
Mr. Penrose, ho said that payments for
the successful smuggling of a Chinaman
into the United States range from J50
to $500 or 51000, and in the case of a. wo
man as high as $2500, where the object Is
to engage her in immoral practices.
In the course of the hearing Mr. Pen
rose remarked that it did not seem rea
sonable to prohibit the employment of
Chinese seamen" on the vessels plying be
tween this country and Chinese ports.
Mr. Llvernnsh said that question will
have to be met by Congress Bquarely. be
cause Congress is endeavoring to build
up a merchant marine, and this can
not be done until we have American sea
men at the mast. Our failure to protect
our seamen, he contended, is giving the
Pacific Ocean over to tho Asiatics.
The committee then adjourned to meet
on Thursday next at 10 o'clock.

one thing better than any one else knew
it; and that the world was always on the
lookout for such a man. He chose for
his especial study one of the most difficult
as well as one of the most controverted
subjects of bis time, and he mastered It
absolutely, so that before many years
had passed over his Congressional career
William McKlnley knew more about the
productive capacity of the United States,
more about the conditions under which
labor arned its wage and capital Its re
turn, more about the possibilities of our
magnificent future, than any other man
in America."

The second ground relates to the alleged
withdrawal of the squadron at night from
Santiago Bay and the character of the
I blockade, and the propriety of Commo-
J dorc Schley's conduct in tho premises.
This was one of tho points upon which
Admiral Dewey specifically dissented. The
petition recites the findings of the court
to the effect that the flying squadron did
not withdraw at night, and declaresthat
by this statement the court obviated the
necessity of expressing Its opinion as to
whether or not a close or adequate block
ade was established afld the propriety of
Commodore Schley's conduct In the prem

of all the witnesses were examined, and
about one-third of the whole period ot the
inquiry was consumed in its consideration,
yet "notwithstanding the facts herein set
forth, all ot which appear upon the record
of said court, the concurring members
thereof have failed utterly and entirely
to discharge the most Important duty Im
posed upon them by the terms of the said
specification, which duty was to report

petitioner declares that he will be with

most important specifications.
The third ground recites Admiral
Dewey's opinion to the effect that: "The
passage from Key West to Clen
fuegos wa3 made by the flying squadron
with all possible dispatch, having In view
the importance of arriving off Cienfuegoa
with sufficient coal; that the blockade of
Cienfuegos was effective; that the Adula
was pcrmuieu to gain iniurmuuuu, aim
finally that tife passage from Cienfuegos
