ROOSEVELT IS SURE TO WIN

Greater Than That of McKinley
-Urgent Deficiency Bill Up.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. Boutelle (111.)
addressed the House for nearly two hours
today In a reply to statements made by
"Williams, o Mississippi, the minority
leader, on his "stand-pat" speech of a few
days ago. "Williams, In turn,, replied to
Boutelle. -
The House had under consideration at
the time the urgent deficiency bill. Bou
telle received close attention of both
sides of the chamber, and when "he spoke
of the passing of the last trace of bitter
ness between the North and the South, he
was loudly applauded on both sides.
Boutelle was humorous and grave, pa
thetic and poetic.
"Williams, in his reply, was likewise
humorous; Referring to tho Philippines,
be said:
"If that is another thing you want to
stand pat on, stand pat on your un-American,
old European-army-mllltary camp,
grab-nation policy of an indellnlte colon
ialism." "When Boutelle had concluded Williams
crossed over and shook hands with him,
Boutelle returning the compliment when
"Williams had concluded.
Another Free-Carriage Inquiry.
A resolution calling on the Postmaster
General for Information relative to the
number of carriages maintained by the
Government for the Postofllce Department
was passed after a spirited dobatc.
Overstreet (Ind.) from the committee on
postofllces and postroads. brought up this
resolution when the House convened. He
then moved the previous question and 40
minutes debate was allowed. After Hitch
cock and Overstreet had spoken briefly
tho resolution was adopted and the House
went into committee of the whole with
Tawney (Minn.) In the chair for the con
sideration of the urgent deficiency ap
propriation bill.
Hemenway (Ind.), chairman of the com
mittee on appropriations, explained the
provisions of the bill. He called atten
tion to the fact that If all the recom
mendation? to the committee were fol
lowed the appropriations bill will create
a deficiency In the Treasury of 542,000,000.
In the bills thus far passed,' the estimates
have been cut a little over 57,000,000 and
that ratio would reduce the estimates
only $12,000,000, thus leaving a deficit of
530,000,000. Ho urged the necessity of
paring and cutting, saying if this Con
gress did as well as the last the estimates
would be cut $20,000,000.
In explaining the Item of $145,000 for
mileage for Senators and Representatives,
being 40 cents per mile, to pay their ex
pense of attending the extra and present
session, Hemenway said the committee
simply had followed precedent established
In the 5Sd and 54th Congresses.
Sees Abuse of the Fund.
Underwood (Dem.. Ala.); a member of
the subcommittee which prepared the bill,
said there was. from testimony of heads
of departments beforj the committee,
much abuse of the contingent fund. Car
riage hire was one of these abuses, and
he advised a specific regulation In this
matter. Underwood said he had voted
on the committee for the Item to pay the
salary of the new Minister to Panama, and
he should support This item in the House.
He explained that the committee fixed
tho salary of the Minister at Panama at
$10,000, because the testimony shows that
that Is an unhealthy post and that part
of the ?10,to0 went for living expenses and
tho remainder for life Insurance.
Underwood differed from his colleagues
on tho legal status of the mileage ques
tion. He contended there had been only
one session and that the members have
received mileage for one session and that
is all they are entitled to receive. Boutelle
(111.), replying to statements made by
"Williams of Mississippi, a few days ago,
on protection, evoked laughter by liken
ing the Democratic party to characters
in Biblical history, and speaking of Mr.
Bryan's trip to Europe said he got an
inspiration from Mr. Crokor and brought
back an Idea.
"You still have got "William Jennings
Bryan to reckon with," he declared, ad
dressing himself to the minority side,
adding that he again would play the part
of Nebuchadnezzar or the part of Samp
son, and charged the Democrats to see
that he did not pull down the pillar of
their house and again bring them Into the
position of idolators.
Boutelle read a large number of extracts
from Southern newspapers to show that
prosperity has prevailed throughout tho
South. He said it was a story of great
prosperity with prospects of a still
brighter year. He did not hold this was
due to protection, but said the Dingley
act was the wisest and most beneficent
measure ever placed on the statute books.
He said he was glad he had lived to see
the time when the last trace of bitterness
betweon the North and South had passed
away.
Record as Its Platform.
In conclusion Boutelle said the record of
the Republican party would be its plat
form in the coming campaign.
"There Is no more doubt about our
leader," he said, "than there Is about the
platform. Some of the other side have
criticised tho President for being impetu
ous." he said, "but the people prefer the
President to be frank rather than of the
subterranean character.
"Tho people know what Roosevelt Is."
he said, adding that he was loved for the
enemies he had ms.de. Laughter on the
Democratic side was evoked when Bou
telle asked. If the President bad forfeited
esteem because he had enforced the law
against illogal combinations. He had
heard It said that a number of men were
being groomed for the Republican nomi
nation, but that was nothing, he said, as
It was true back to Washington's time. He
declared Roosevelt would be nominated,
and that he would have as laree a ma
jority as Lincoln. Grant or McKinley. and
If it wore not for the "geographical"
Democrats, it would be much larger.
"Williams, the minority leader, replied
lo Boutelle, saying he was glad there was
not a line of custom-houses along the Po
tomac and along the Ohio to protect one
side against the other. He asked If a
stronger -word than "impetuous" had been
used In referring to the President. Re
ferring to Mr. Boutelle's statement that
Roosevelt -would be the Republican nomi
nee. "Williams said:
"You have gone so far you cannot go
hack and you are going to stand pat on
him."
Imperialism Is Revived.
Replying to the charge that they had
worshiped the Idol of opposition to the
holding of the Philippines, he said "Wash
ington fought and s!die.rs starved at Val
ley" Forge because opposed to the principle
Involved In this charge. He told the ma
jority to stand pat on what he termed that
un-American policy, and again referred to
It as "colonialism, restlessness, land grab
bing and greed," and spoke of "putting
bullets in the brown man."
"The distinguished accidental Incumbent
of the house at the other end of the ave
nue dared to call Thomas. Jefferson a
coward," he said. "Is a man a coward who
in the ISth century dared to deny the di
vinity of Christ and run for. the Presi
dency?" In answer to a question by Boutelle.
"Williams announced himself most posi
tively on the silver question.
"Conditions are such that the silver
question has been relegated to the rear,"
he declared, amid continued Democratic
applause.
Williams explained that he was speaking
simply as the Representative of the
Eighth Mississippi District, and for him
self alone.
At 5:47 P. M., the House adjourned un
til tomorrow.
HEYBURN URGES LAND REFORM
Idaho Senator Makes His Maiden
Speech-Stons Talks of Panama.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. The time of
the Senate today was again divided be
tween consideration of the Panama ques
tion and other subjects. There was only
one speech on the canal, and It was
made by Stone, of Missouri, who spoke
to a resolution directing the Senate
committee on foreign relations to make
an investigation into the Panama revolt
He contended the circumstances indicat
ed complicity on the part of the United
States in tho secession of Panama, and
urged that In the interest of the country's
good name, all the facts should be
known.
Heyburn, of Idaho, made his first speech
in the Senate in support of a resolution
Introduced by himself prohibiting rail
road companies from taking up land In
a solid body In lieu of land in forest
reservations.
A number of bills were passed, Including
one for a memorial bridge across the
Potomac River at Washington.
Heyburn Urged Land Reform.
When the Senate convened, Heyburn
made an address on his resolution direct
ing a stay of proceedings on applications
to patent even-numbered sections of pub
lic lands in lieu of odd-numbered sec
tions, held by railroad companies in for
est reserves. He complained that the
present law permits railroads to surren
der worthless lands, and take up other
territory of much greater value. The res
olution was referred to the committee on
public lands.
The resolution presented yesterday by
Tillman asking for information from the
Secretary of War concerning the ap
pointment of General Wood and other
Army officers, was taken up and passed
without debate.
Stone then offered a substitute for his
resolution directing the committee on for
eign relations to make" inquiry into the
facts relating to the revolution In Pan
ama, In accordance with the Democratic
Senatorial caucus of last Saturday. The
substitute is as follows:
"That the committee on foreign relat
ions is hereby Instructed to investigate
and ascertain whether Bunau-Varllla and
other persons residing in the United
States subject to our laws did aid and
promote an insurrection in Panama
against the republic of Colombia, and
did give assurance to citizens of Pan
ama that they should have tho aid and
assistance of our Navy In behalf of such
Insurrection, and whether any officials
of any department of this Government
did disclose or make known to said
Bunau-Varllla or to any other person the
action which the -Government of the
United States designed or proposed to
take In the event of an insurrection."
Stone did not discuss the merits of the
Canal treaty, but made an appeal for a
searching investigation. He would vote
for the treaty In the interest of a canal.
He fancied the president's attitude would
be gratifying to Calhoun and Jefferson
Davis if they were living and said no
Republican orator could hereafter be Jus
tified in waving the bloody shirt after
President Roosevelt's utterances In con
nection with Panama. The resolution
went over.
Merits of Treaty Not Discussed.
Stone did not discuss the merits of the
canal treaty, but made an appeal for a
searching Investigation. Ha said he could
not shut his eyes to the fact that our in
terference In Panama had a suspicious
and sinister appearance. He did not
charge Intentional wrong, but attributed
our course to the President's "volcanic
nature," and "his love for the tragic,
lurid and sensational."
Stone said he fancied the President's at
titude would be moat gratifying to John
C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis were they
living. Panama could do nothing unless
Independent, and "the President thus ad
mits his willingness to inspire and aid
rebellion."
If the President was willing to foster
revolt he must have been willing to up
hold it. Hence (Stone) was unable to un
derstand why the President should be ao
sensitive over charges of complicity.
Stone made it plain he would vote for
the treaty In the interest of a canal. He
sharply criticised M. Bunau-Varilla. and
said he had been Instrumental In bringing
about the revolution.

against what he termed were the misrep
resentations ot opposing Senators. He
alleged Panama never had been a legiti
mate part ot Colombia, and that she
would: have achieved her independence

there been a worse gang of robbers than
the men who constitute the government
of Colombia."
The resolution went over.

TIRED OF GETTING LETTERS.
The Sultan of Morocco Finally Gives
$50,000 to the St. Louis Fair.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26. In tho list of na
tions which are to be represented at the
World's Fair by national pavilions, Mo
rocco probably will be missing. Secretary
Stevens states that it Is not now ex
pected that Morocco will officially partici
pate by erecting a pavilion, but that some
use, doubtless, will be made with the
35C.O00 appropriated.
According to Information received by
the Exposition officials from Commis
sioner J. W. S. Langerman, who recently
returned from a mission to Morocco, be
tas empowered as the Sultan's Commis
sioner on his return, the amount appro
priated by that potentate was $50,000. Anent
this appropriation an Interesting story is
told by Mr Danforth, assistant to Com
missioner Langerman. The amount was
not given with very good grace, according
to Mr. Danforth, who Quotes the Sultan
as saying: .
"Here is $50,000. Take it and do what
you please with It I don't care whether
you use it for the World's Fair or put
it in your own pocket. I don't know where
St Louis is, except that it is somewhere
in the United States, and I don't care.
And please tell President Francis, who
ever he Is, to stop writing me letters about
his fair, as I am tired of getting them."
Mr. Danforth says that the money was
brought to Tangier by Langerman and
deposited there. Being in sliver It re
quired a caravan of about 20 mules to
transport the money through the desert
When counted it was found to be all good
money, however, with the exception of
some $300 counterfeit pieces.
