ent Deficiency Appropriation
Bill I'nnscd.
"WASHINGTON. Feb. o. Throughout
toia" session, the Senate had under con
sideration the urgent deficiency appro
priation bill and just before adjournment
paired it, substantially In the shape in
which it was reported to the Senate by
the committee.
During the early part of the session,
the case of Judge Arthur H. Noyes. of
the district court of Alaska, and Alexan
der McKenzie and others were discussed.
McCumber delivered an elaborate speech
In defense of Judge Noyes and McKenzie.
Incidentally he criticized the Circuit
Court of Appeals of San Francisco, for
permitting lu-elf to be iniluenced by
prejudice and bias. He became Involved
in a colloquy with Tillman, who said he
appeared in the novel attitude of a de
fender of the United States Judiciary.
The South Carolina Senator had inti
mated that he would deliver a speech on
the Noyes' case, but at the cbncluslon
of McCumber' s speech, he contented
himself practically with putting into the
Congressional Record the decision of the
Circuit Sourt of Appeals of San Francisco
in the case of contempt against Noyes
and McKenzie.
In a brief speech Stewart reviewed
the cse. speaking strongly against
Jjdge Noyes and his actions in Alaska.
Tlie Iroceelinjc In Dctnll.
At the conclusion of routine business
consideration of the urgent deficiency
b.ll was resumed. Hale, in charge of the
measure, made an appeal to the
Senate to permit the bill to come
to a vote. He hoped the "scandal
I.i Aiaska" would not be permitted to in
tr:ere with the progress of the measure.
He said It had no relevancy to an appro,
priatir.u bill, and while he was powerless
to prevent the discussion, he hoped It
"would not be prolonged.
Mci'uinber said he had no de
t.rc to prolong the dlcuslon. but most
M.iainous charges had been made against
JSer charges which he personally knew
u be unfounded and absolutely false. He
it land that certain mining syndicates
1 e J dsrod to obtain control of the whole
mt (Alaska) country. He believed that
it would be premature for the Senate to
icnkr a erdlct for or against Judge
.Arthur H. Noyes and. Alexander McKen
z c before the courts had had opportunity
t pass upon the merits of the case. He
trtured the opinion that the Senator
from South Carolina (Tillman), who rcp
Jsntea a chhalrous people, and who had
J fleeted so seriouiy upon Judge Noyes
J-au Alexander McKenzie. who had no op
J rtunliy here to defend themselves.
i ou'd i ot .have made the charges against
i .em If he had known Alexander Me.

1 ict.
1I declared that no person could put a
1 n-jir upon u blr.glc instance where Alex.
. ndtr McKenzie or Judge Noyes ever had
r ired jin man of a dollar. He paid a

ulr, a&aerted mat "not one scintilla of

McCumber then entered upon an ex
t a lid .statement of tnc ca-e against Mc-jwc-.zk.
going into minute details. He
K.a:talnt.d that the order of the Circuit

l a: McKenzie s lawjer advlted him that
me eourt's order was void. McKenzie.
tnttifor. did not comply with the writ,
inasmuch as. if he had. he would be in
e ). u ir.pt of an order of Judge Noves. Ho
therefore was between two fires. In such
e- union it was held by able lawyers that
M Kenzio ought not to be adjudged guilty
of an osYcnse.
Referring to the opinion of the Circuit
C ourt of Appea! McCumber asserted that
four-1fth.s of it wandeoted to the discus
sion of an aliened attempted conspiracy
lK:w.r. Judge Noyes and McKenzie, the
Sre.'ter portion of the Information 'con
cerning which came from San Francisco
new papers. He insisted that no man
could conccie of a more heinous judr
Jncnt than :1ns The parties wcro not
convicted of conspiracy, but of contempt,
ir.J in his opinion, ought not to have been
runishea to such an extent as were Mc
K.nzit. .Noyes end Dubose. The membero
cf the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Cir
cuit, he said, might be honorable men
but he was obliged to judge them by their
aot. That court had convicted Judge
Nojcs while he was 2n&) mllet, awav. and
hai arraigned him in most remarkable
language without an opportunity of a
hearing.
IU-.ert:ng to the situation as Judge
Noc found it In Alaska. McCumber de
c.arcd that the mining syndicates had
made every effort to bribe him. $20,000
being offered to him in one pum. Finding
It impossible to bribe him, the syndicate
hlre-d. McCumber asserted, a man to make
a perjured affidavit that Judge Noc.s had
accepted a bribe. These facts, lie said,
had been reported to the Attorney-General
of the United States, and for "reporting
these matters to the Department of Jus
tice. Mr. Frost, he said, had been sen
tenced to prison for one year because
his work had come in conflict with the
Circuit Court of Appeal-. That, he enld.
was the real reason for Frost's convic
tion. He simply would not be a creature
of the syndicate.
McCumber read the orders Issued by
Judge Nojes "known as the status quo
orders." upon which he said the Judge
had been convicted of contempt. "Why."
he as-ked. "war Frost sent to prison and
Nojes onl fined, if both were guiltv of
consplrac. T' He opined that it was be
cause Judge Noyes' character would be
sufficiently blackened by a fine, and then,
too. out of prison he could be impeached'
by a writ of habeas corpus. He referred
to what was, to his mind, appalling cor
ruption in Alaska.
T.llman interrupted to inquire whether
McCumbr did not think he owed it to
the Senate to give it all the facts con
cern.ng the "damnable corruption of cer
tain United States Courts" to which he
had referred.
McCumber replied that he had not ac
cused the members of the San Francisco
couru? of anything worwj than prejudice
and bias. He urged that he had proved
this prejudice from the record.
McCumber denounced the decision of
he Court of Appeals as 4S pages of segre
gation of testimony out of S000 pages of
closely printed matter. The conclusions
of the court, he said, were based for
the most part upon evidence which the
Senator from South Carolina. Tillman,
would not give the least credence to. He
said Tillman had cast serious aspersions
upon a man as honorable as he was,
a man whom the South Carolina Sena
tor might meet outside the chamber and
there, if he saw fit. call the vile names
he had applied to him.
Tillman disclaimed any intention to re
fleet Improperly upon anybody, his re
marks, he said, being directed to the
department of justice particularly for not
doing its duty in promptly investigating
.and acting upon such a scandal as had
developed in this case, whoever was the
guilty party. He Insisted that either the
judges of the Circuit Court of Appeals of
San Francisco were guilty of some in
famy, or the Noyes party was. He felt
it his duty to defend Judges who had
been arraigned so seriously, and to see
that their side of the controversy should
go into record. Tillman said he appeared
in the role of defender of United State's
Courts, when he was on record as having
made many scathing criticisms of Feder
al Judiciary, but he remarked facetious
ly, he would not be doing his dutv bv
his clients the three judges of the Snii
Francisco Circuit Court of Appeals, who
he had gotten into hot water if he did
not attempt at least to cool the water
a little.
Incidentally, the South Carolina Sena
tor saying that the, deb-ite had been
precipitated by the readii.g by him of
a clipping from a newspaper charging
Benjamin Daniels, whom the Senate had
confirmed as United States Marshal of
Arizona, with being entirely unworthy
to hold that office. Tillman made some
scathing comments upon the judiciary
committee for passing such a nomination
favorably. He supposed, he said, that
Senators from the state from which Dan
iels hailed now would foel called upon
to criticise him for introducing this news
paper clipping, bat he did it simply "to
hold up the mirror in order that the
other side might see thcmsslvos as others
saw them."
With this parting shot, Tillman con-

James S. Clarkson, who Is mentioned as a probable appointment as "official

record the decision of the Circuit Court

having withdrawn his objection.
Stewart criticised Judge Noyes conduct
of his office. He said that he had been
familiar with the law practice in miniqg
cases for more than half a century and
that he knew the policy of the American
people to protect the locaters of mines,
whereas Judge Noyes, immediately upon
his arrival at Nome, had appointed re
ctivcrs to take possession of at least six
new mining claims, following thee ap
pointments by others of a similar char
acter. He declared there was no prece
elent for a receiver for a placer mine
from which gold was being constantly
taken. If Judge Noyes was honest In
his action, then he was utterly incompe
tent Amendment to Dellcivncy Hill.
Consideration of some of tho amend
ments in the urgent deficiency bill, which
had been passed over, was resumed. The
first amendment, the one appropriating
JTiOO.000 for the establishment at Manila
of a military post, including the con
struction of barracks, etc., was agreed
to after Hale explained that the appro
priation was put upon the pending bill,
because it was efeblrable that the work
should begin at once.
A bill providing W50.052 (Mexican), to
reimburse the Philippine insular funds
for small gunbeats and ordnance stores
turned over to the Navy by the military
authorities at Manlia. caused Tillman to
make some inejuiries. Hale replied that
the Secretary Of the Navy had made es
timates for the purchase of the vessels
and stores on the recommendation of a
board of officers.
Tillman insisted, however that the rec
ord does not show where the vessels
came from, and what had been paid for
them. "It does not appear from the rec
ord." he said "that the money was hon
estly expended. Tills whole business is
entirely too slipshod and slack-twisted
for an honest government."
It was explaincel by Hale that the ves
sels were small craft acquireel probably
from private persons and had been con
verted into gunboats. They were being
used for patrol duty among the islands.
Bacon urged that the item be held up
temporarily until definite information was
furnished
Teller said there probably would be
a degree of looseness about all the ac
counts coming from the Philippines, but
he was not particularly oppose el to the
pending amendment, as it did not appear
at all doubtful that the money actually
had been expended. The amendment was
agreed to.
The committee amendment striking out
the House paragraph reducing the num
ber of land offices in Aiaska to one', to
be located at Sitka, aroused much dis
cussion. Cockrcl! said at only one of
the offices where the receipts of a im
portance. At one, the expenses of which
wc-re in excess of $4000 annually, the re
ceipts were only 10. He contended that
the House provision ought to stand.
After a long discussion the House para
graph was stricken out and another was
substituted, reducing the number of land
offices and land districts in 'Alaska to
one, the location of which shall be fixed
by the President, the President to es
tablish an additional land office for the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. In the execu

cussion of the nomination of Ben Dan
iels to be Marshal of the Territory of Ari
zona was continued. Senator Hoar ex
plained that Daniels' commission had been
already Issued, rendering Impractlcible
the adoption of Senator Teller's recom
mendation to reconsider the vote by which
he had been confirmed. Further explana
tion was made to the effect that the Pres
ident had begun an examination into the
case on his own responsibility by wiring
to Cheyenne for particulars" concerning
the man who was imprlsoneJ there and
who is supposed to have "been Daniels,
and by telegraphing to Daniels himself.
Instructing him not to enter on the dis
charge of his duties until the charges
made could be investigated. It was stat
ed that there was some doubt as to the
identity of Daniels with the Wyoming
conviction. With these explanations the
, matter was dropped for the time. Sena

the charges prove to be true Daniels will
be discharged from office.

GOVERNOR TAFT TELLS OF HIS RE
LATIONS WITH CHAFFEE.
Lnclc of Indimtry One of the Evils of
the Filipino Chnrneter The
PncIJicii Provinces.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. In his state
ment before the Senate committee on the
Philippines today Governor Taft dealt es
pecially with the question of the relation
ship between the civil and military au
thorities in the Philippines, and his ex
planation was received with much inter
est by the committee. The day's session
began with the understanding that there
should be no interruption by the members
of the committee.
Governor Taft said that originally the
civil and mllltay control of the islands
had been In the hands of the military,
andj that naturally there had been some
differences of opinion between the mili
tary authorities and the Commission as
to the methods cf proceeding. This dif
ference, hp said, had arisen with General
MacArthur, and there had been more or
less correspondence on the subject. The
General had contended that authority
over the islands was vesteel In the mili
tary and the representatives of the Chief
Executive, 'oecauso the Islands were In a
state of war. In this view the Commis
sion did not concur. This difference did
not. however, extend to the control of the
municipalities.
In this connection Governor Taft ex
plained at some length the contcitlon be
tween the Commission and General Chaf
fee, which had. he said, arisen over tho
habeas corpus provision in tho Cimmos
slon's code. That provision had been In
serted, he said, to protect native officers
who surrendered and who are subject ti
arrest on charge of crimes committee!
while In the insurrection service, believed
to be contrary to the rules of civilized
warfare. Such charges against these men
were common, and often they were un
founded. The provision had,' however,
been invoked In the Interest of an enlisted
man, who was seeking to secure his re
lease from the military service In an
indirect way. Thus a conflict had arisen,
and the question had been referred to
Washington, with the result that in
structions had come back that the dif
ferences must be compromised.
"General Chaffee and I are on the
friendliest and most cordial terms." he
said, "and we had no difficulty In reach
ing an understanding after a prolonged
conference. Our compromise was reacheel
on the understanding that a writ of ha
beas corpus would not He against mili
tary ameers, a civilian employe of the
military branch or a prisoner of war."
Governor Taft also said that there had
been some differences of opinion as to
other matters in the method of adminis
tration, and that, naturally, the natives
were more favorably Inclined toward the
civil Government, because they were rep
resented by men of their own nationality
In that branch of the service, while, on
the other hand, the army was princi
pally concerned in bringing the war to
an end. He thought, however, the mili
tary authorities were coming to look with
more favor on the civil administration.
In replying to a question. Governor
Taft said there are 34 organized and 13
unorganized provinces. In answer to a
question by Senator Patterson. Governor
Taft said It is not true that a majorlty
of the people can read and write. As to
the position of women in tho !:i.-infic y,
said that the women of the Philippines
held a superior position. They are the
active managers in general affairs and
the Spanish archbishop said to him that
if It was intended to confer any political
authority upon the Filipinos. It should
be conferred upon the female sex.
"Is It not true," Interrupted Senator
Dietrich, who has visited the Philippines,
"while the women are engaged in conduct
ing the affairs of the family th mn mv
engaged in attending cockfights or going
about the country with roosters under
their arms?"
M?. Patterson, in reply, read from the
War Department report to the effect that
the Tagals are Industrious, courteous, ar
tistic, quiet and orderly. Governor Taft
said that he had never met a Filipino
who was not a mus-ldan, and he added:
"All Filipino crowds are well-behaved
and polite, and the people are courteous.
The Filipino also shows capacity for
skilled labor, but he is negligent of ma
chinery. I wish it were true that tho
Filipino is as industrious ao it Is claimed,
but he is not. Indeed, there are many
of them who might secure work who do
not seek it. This condition leads to a de
mand for tho bringing in of Chinese."
This statement led Senator Hale to make
Inquiry concerning the presence of Chi
nese. The witness replied that the con
tractors and business men generally con
tend for the necessity of bringing In of
Chinese labor. The importation is. how
ever, generally resented by the natives,
not bo much because of the competition of
the Chinese as laborers as because of
their competition as merchants. The Chi
namen generally save their wagec, and In
a few months establish mercantile estab
lishments, the result being that the next
door neighbor, a Fillnlno is lrivpn nn
He said further that under the present
regulations no Chinese are admitted.
Replying to other questions, GDvernor
Taft fitatcd that In the Islanels there are
about 5.000.000 acres of land held by pri
vate person, and that of this -jeK.OOO acres
are owned by the Catholic friars. Of
these 403.000 acres. 250,XX) are the best
lands in the islands.
As to the honesty of the native Fili
pinos, Governor Taft sMd that many ex
aggprated and extreme picture had been
drawn. They arc relther so bad nor ro
good as they have been reported. Many
were arrested for theft, and there also
were charger, of treachery and duplicity.
That some are dishonest and others double-faced
Is true, but that all present
these characteristics Is not true. Hence
no general characterization Is possible.
Referring to the order of concentration
in Batangas. Governor Taft said he had
been misunderstood yesterday in mying
that he had advised General Bell agalnf-t
It. He had recommended that the order
should not be made so wide In its scope
as It was.
Tho committee adjourned to meet to
morrow, when Governor Taft. at the re
aucst of Senator Lodge, will discuss the
tariff question as applied to the Philip
pine a
Wnr TnT Reduction Rill.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. The pro
gremme for considering the war revenue
reduction act was the basis for numerous
conferences among "House leaders today
and an informal canvas of sentiment
was made to learn whether the members,
particularly those of the majority, would
favor a special rule bringing the bill to a
vote without an amendment. The pur
pose of such a rule would he to avoid an
amendment similar to that of Represen
tative Babcoek In the ways and means
committee, reducing the rates In the iron
and steel schedule, or amendments from
the minority In the line of general tariff
revision. It Is stated that the, result of
the canvass has shown a majority of the
House favorable to such a special rule.
In making the canvass the view has
been presented to Republican members
that tariff revisions, such as those pro
posed by Babcoek, might be left for de
termination of a Republican caucus sub
sequent to the passage of the reduction
bill. Those fully advised as to the can
vas, say it has shown a sentiment fav
orable to such caucus consideration of
all tariff amendments, thus leaving the
bill to be passed as reported.
