PRESIDENT AT THE TIME
BarthoidtTakes Up Democratic
Cry Against Roosevelt,
HOUSE DEBATE GROWS WARM
Bartlett, to Set Cleveland RIght,-Has
Read Another Letter In Which
He Denies Having Dined
a Colored Person.
WASHINGTON. April 12. The race
question again was Injected Into the pro
ceedings of the House of Representatives
today, -when the Alaskan delegate bill was
taken up. Scott (Kan.) delivered a long
address. In which he referred to his pre
vious statement that It was current In
Kansas that ex-President Cleveland had
dined with C. S. H. Taylor, a Kansas
negro politician. He read several letters
from Kansas citizens that It had. been
Taylor's boast that he had received such
social attention from Mr. Cleveland. Ho
also said Mr. Cleveland, while Governor
of New York, had signed a bill providing
for mixed schools.
In a spirited reply "Williams (Miss.), the
minority leader, defended the attitude of
the South toward the negro.
At the instance of Bartlett (Dem., Ga.),
a letter from ex-President Cleveland was
read, denying that he had ever dined
with a negro. Bartlett also declared
Judge Parker, of New York, to be the
man whom the Democrats will nominate
for President.
Bartholdt (Mo.) spoke of the fact that
Thomas Jefferson had honored a negro
with a formal invitation to dinner with
his family. The only Veason that fact is
not generally known, he said, was be
cause nobody thought anything of it, and
no one saw fit to criticise Mr. Jefferson
for It
Bartholdl said. If in the judgment of
the Democrats, President Koosevelt had
made a mistake in inviting Mr. Washing
ton to dine with him, then what Thomas
Jefferson did must be an unpardonable
social sin. The President's luncheon to
Washington, he said, was a hurried, Im
provised affair, while in the case of Jef
ferson It was a well-arranged, well-prepared
banquet.
Scott (Kan.) resuming had read the law
of New York signed by Cleveland, while
Governor, providing for mixed schools,
although Cleveland had denied he signed
Buch a measure.
Williams Defends the South.
A vigorous defense of the South for its
attitude on the negro question was made
by Williams (Dem., Miss.), who said it
was an old game, known a long time to
those who know nothing' about American
politics, that when the Republican party
found Itself faced with issues that threat
ened its supremacy, it began to wave the
bloody shirt one -way or another. He
Bald, however, there was one thing neither
the Republican party nor the entire world
could do, and that was "to make the
South consent to regard social equality
as a thing to be desired." Nor could they
make the South consent to the proposi
tion that the right of the negro consists
In giving him power to govern the white
man of the South.
"The Republican party cannot persuade
Southern white men," he said, "that it is
not a good or humane thing to maintain
In the South the white man's civilization,
and to perpetuate there the two things
upon which It was founded, the white
man's code of ethics and the sanctity of
the white man's family."
The people of the South were going to
lift the negro raco, gently, sanely and In
the proper way. It had the kindliest feel
ing for the negro.
"You can't deflect us from live pending
Issues," concluded Williams. God, he
said, had given the negro to the South
as a trust, and that trust should be kept.
There was not to bo a hybridized South.
McCall (Mass.), chairman of the select
rmnmlttee of the House to investigate
' the connection of members with the mat
ter complained of in the Brlstow "report,
presented the report of the committee,
and it was read at length. While agree
ing with all the report contained, McDer
roott (Dem., N. J.) presented some views
of the minority members of the commit
tee. Both reports were ordered printed.
A Senate bill was passed appropriating
$20,000 to supply a deficiency In the con
tingent fund of the Senate. Consideration
of the Alaska delegate bill then was re
sumed, i '
Cleveland's Letter Is Read.
Bartlett (Dem., Ga.) had read the fol
lowing letter from ex-President Cleveland,
dated March 4, In reply to one from him
self: I have received a number of Inquiries similar
to yours, touching my invitation to Frederick
Douglafs to a weddine reception, and slgnlnp,
while Governor o New York, of a bill pro
viding for mixed schools.
I do not suppose that ThomaB E. Watson
believed, or had any reason to believe, either
of the allegations when he made them. At any
rate, they are both utterly and absolutely
false.
I cannot afford to devote a great deal of time
In denying such foolish tales. I Ehall, there
fore, attempt to cover every phase of the sub
ject, now and for alL It eo happened that 1
have never In my official position, either when
sleeping or waking, alive or dead, on my head
or on my heels, dined, lunched or supped, or
Invited to a wedding reception, any colored
man, woman or child. If, however, I had de
cided to do any of these things, neither the
fear of Mr. Watson or any one else would have
prevented.
"When I was Governor, a movement was
made in the Legislature to abolish separate
colored schools In New York City. I opposed
the measure, and it failed. I do not And that
I Interposed a veto, and I have forgotten the
course the matter took, but I know that what
ever I did was in favor of maintaining sep
arate colored schools, instead of having them
mixed. Yours, -very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
After its reading, Bartlett said that
whenever Cleveland's name was suggest
ed as a possible candidate of the Demo
crats for President, the Republicans
seemed to get very much excited and
afraid. Bartlett added:
"I know he will not be nominated. I
know, too, that he does not desire to bo
nominated." He said he also knew the
jcratlc party would nominate some
one who was a true Democrat; and he
added with some deliberation:
"It is not very difficult now to state who
that will be."
"Does the gentleman -now who it will
be?" inquired Dalzell (Pa.).
"Yes," said Bartlett; "the whole coun
try knows Judge Parker, of New York,"
which elicited Democratic applause.
Iacey (la.) facetiously asked Bartlett If
he were not discourteous to his two col
leagues, Williams, of Mississippi, and
HesT2t of New York.
withdraw In the interest of party
harmony," ejaculated Williams, amid a
laugh.
Hearst was not In his seat.
At 5:10 the House adjourned until tomorrow.
CONGRESSMEN ARE CLEARED.
House Committee Recommends They
Deal Less -With Postal Affairs.
WASHINGTON, April 12. The report of
the special committee of the House ap
pointed to Investigate the report from the
Postofflce Department, printed under the
caption "charges concerning members of
Congress," was made to the House today
by Chairman McCall. The report 1? signed
by all seven members of the committee.
The minority members, however, append
eupplemental views.
The important phase of the report is a
finding regarding the connection of mem
bers with the business of the Postofflce
Department. This finding Is as follows:
"After a careful consideration of all
cases specified in the report numbered 1395
the report of the Postofflce committee,
on 'charges against members of Con
gress' so far as they relate to present
members of the House of Representatives,
which the committee assume to be out of
their jurisdiction, they have unanimous
ly reached the conclusion that nothing
has appeared in connection with said cases
that would justify the finding that any
member of the House of Repesentatlvcs
has profited financially in the slightest
degree, or that any member was guilty
of improper conduct in connection there
with, or that any member has done in
connection with any of said cases any
thing that did not appear to be within the
line of his official duty according to long
established custom.
"Having reached this conclusion, the
committee feels constrained to add that
in their opinion It would be well to make
as formal as may be, and to restrain
within the narrowest possible limits the
action of members in connection with
postofflces and details of other executive
matters, and that the severance of mem
bers from work of that character would
augment the efficiency of the House of
Representatives."
Before reaching the above conclusion,
the report gives a history of the compila
tion and publication of the report, impli
cating members. Its Inception, so far as
the "clerk-hire" cases are concerned, the
committee states, was with Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster-General Bristow, who or
dered a compilation of all cases where
members had made recommendation re
garding clerk hire, for the purpose of se
curing evidence to justify the assertion in
his report on the postofflce Investigation
"that a hundred similar cases could be
cited." Nine hundred such cases were
finally included in this list, and opposite
each case was placed the name of a mem
ber of Cngress.
The testimony of First Assistant Wynne
Is quoted in this connection to show that
the mention of the member's name In a
case "did not mean that they had ever
recommended the allowance, but they were
put there for the use of the officers, and
some cases when only notice had been
sent to a member that an Increase had
been made affecting an office in his dis
trict, although the member had made no
request concerning the same.
"Under the impression that the sending
of the names of Senators and Representa
tives upon the list made up In that man
ner would be unfair to them, the First
Assistant Postmaster-General, after con
sultation with the Postmaster-General,
prepared a list of offices, omitting there
from the names of members of Congress
and all other persons.
"The list In that form was sent to the
committee on postofflces and postroads,
but in some way which the testimony
does not make clear the information was
received by the Postofflce Department that
the list should Include the names of mem
bers, and, accordingly, the list was pre
pared, which appears In House report
No. 1395."
Specialist to Investigate "Loco."
DENVER, April 12. Practical Investiga
tion to determine the exact composition
of the "loco" weed, "which 13 the cause
of much worry and expense to cattlemen
throughout the West, and to detect the
cause of Its poisonous effects upon ani
mals, will be undertaken early in May
by Dr. H. H. True, of the Bureau of Plant
Industry of the Department of Agricul
ture, who Is now in Denver. In conjunc
tion with Professor W. L. Carlyle, of the
Colorado Experiment Station at Fort Col
lins, and Secretary Johnson, of the Colo
rado Cattle and Horsegrowers Associa
tion, Dr. True and his force of experts
from Washington will make a thorough
investigation and report upon the effect
of the plant upon different animals. From
experiments already undertaken it is be
lieved the loco weed is without serious
effect upon sheep.
New Immigration Law Needed.
WASHINGTON, April 12. There were
landed at Tacoma, Wash., recently, 50
Filipinos, who were brought to the
"United States under contract to take part
in the Philippine Islands exhibit at the
St. Louis Exposition. Thirty-nine of the
number were afflicted with trachoma, a
disease of the eye. Under a ruling by the
Attorney-General, natives of the Philip
pines and Porto Rico are not aliens in
the meaning of the immigration act. and
they had to be admitted. Congress will
be asked for legislation to meet such cases
arising hereafter.
Ware Before House Committee.
WASHINGTON. April 12. Commission

quired for pensions under CS, the age pen

minority report, and a contest over this
Item, on the ground that to appropriate

'INSULT," SAYS TELLER
SENATOR WAXES WARM OVER
WORDS OF HOPKINS.
Illinois Man Questions Statements of
the Late General Thomas Re
garding Civil Service.
WASHINGTON, April 12. A sharp col
loquy occurred In the Senate today be
tween Senators Teller and Hopkins, grow
ing out of the reading by Teller of a
letter written by the late General H. H.
Thomas, of Chicago, attacking the civil
service administration of the Treasury
Department. Hopkins took exception to
the quoting of the letter, and declared
that the Colorado Senator would be will
ing to accept "authority from the slums,"
whereupon Teller declined to yield fur
ther, declaring Hopkins reference to the
slums to be insulting.
The incident occurred in connection
with the discussion of the postofflce ap
propriation bill. That measure was un
der discussion during the first half of the
session, all amendments offered by the
Democrats being voted down.
Hopkins entered the chamber when
Teller was speaking. He said he knew
enough about the matter to know that
the statement of the Colorado Senator
was untrue. Toller replied that his Infor
mation was as good as any Information
obtained from the statements.
Hopkins retorted he was not afraid of
anything In his own record, and' Inti
mated that the Colorado Senator could
not say as much.
"I will say," remarked Teller, "that
after more than 25 years in public service,
that is a gratuitous Insult."
Hopkins tried to make reply, but Tell
er declined to be further interrupted until
the Senator from Illinois could acquire the
manners of the Senate. He then went on
with his speech.
The bill providing a form of govern
ment for the Panama canal zone was
taken up, but debate on it had not be
gun when the Senate adjourned.
Senator Tillman was In the Senate to
day, after an absence of six weeka of Ill
ness. The postofflce appropriation bill
was taken up, and Gorman's amendment
providing for the appointment of a com
mission to investigate the affairs of the
Postofflce Department was laid on the
table. 40 to 19. The division was strictly
on party lines.
Teller presented an amendment for ah
investigation committee composed entire
ly of Senators. Teller said that any Sen
ator who said he did not know what the
charges were could not have read the
Brlstow report or the public press. He
had seen a charge In one newspaper
"that more than, a hundred Senators and
members had been caught In the Bristow
trap."
He asserted that such charges had been
made against the Treasury Department
that they would under any other Admin
istration have caused the head of the de
partment to call for an inquiry.
Aldrich interrupted with a denial that
Republican Senators were trying to avoid
an inquiry.
"The Senator can speak for himself but
not for any one else," Aldrich replied
sharply, and Teller responded by saying
that every resolution looking to any in
quiry had been voted down.
"Can the Senator of his own knowledge
make a specific charge of malfeasance in
office that has not been investigated?" Al
drich asked, and added: "If so, let him
name the man."
Teller replied he did not Intend to give
any names, adding It was an insult to
ask him to do so. He declared, however,
that It was evident to all that there was
corruption In the Postofflce Department
that had not been uncovered and that the
Republicans were afraid to let in the light.
Penrose interrupted to say that he never
had thought so, and never had said so.
Teller quoted a statement In the Congres
sional Record to the effect that the Penn
sylvania Senator had voted for an Inves
tigation, and declared the chairman of
the committee originally had recognized
the necessity for Inquiry, adding:
"If other Influences have been brought
to bear upon him causing him to see the
matter In a different light, he cannot es
cape the conclusion that he had heard
sufficient charges to Justify his demand
for investigation."
Lodge moved to lay the amendment on
the table, saying for the majority:
"In our own way, in our own time, and
when we think propor. we will provide for
an Investigation, but we will' not make
such provision on an appropriation bill."
The motion to lay on the table pre
vailed, 35 to 15. The Postofflce appropria
tion bill was passed.
The conference report on the Indian Ap
proplation bill was agreed to.
A joint resolution was adopted, author
izing the Secretary of War to negotiate
with John T. Dolan, of Portland, Or., for
the purchase of an original manuscript
copy of the "Order Book of General Ar
thur Saint Clair."
The Klttredge bill to provide for the tem
porary government in the canal zone In
Panama was taken up.
Klttredge Indicated the willingness of
the committee to accept the amendment
regulating the issuance of bonds in aid
of the canal reported from the committee
on finance, and that provision was Incor
porated in the bill.
Morgan offered his bill Introduced on
the first Instant as a substitute for the
entire bill.
The Panama bill was laid aside for the
day and after a brief executive session
the Senate, at 5 P. M., adjourned.
Corroborates Testimony.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 12. The exam
ination into the Hyde-Dlmond land fraud
cases was resumed today before United
States Commissioner Heacock. Benjamin
F. Allen, ex-Forest Superintendent, testl
fled regarding his acquaintance with the
accused men and the reports he had
made on various reserves. He had re
ceived money from Hyde, and had ob
tained land through the Land Office which
he had sold to Hyde.
Special Agent Burns then testified con
-y-
cerning letters written by Hyde to Allen
advising him how to make reports on
land.
Miss Marlal Doyle, formerly F. A.
Hyde's cashier, corroborated some of the
testimony previously given by Mrs. Bell
Curtis as to the manner In which the land
business of Hyde's office was conducted.
William E. Valk, formerly the caief ex
aminer in the lieu land division of the
General Land Office, told that he was cor
ruptly paid a largo sum to expedite the
Hyde-Benson selections of lieu lands.
This sum was paid him solely for ad
vancing the cases out of their order, and
not for approving cases that were de
fective on their face. Valk's testimony
involved both Hyde and Dimond, but
bore most severely on John A. Benson,
whom he charged with the making of tho
payments in the interests of the two al
leged partners in the lieu land business.
HX PRICE P0B SALMON.
Fraser River Canners Anticipate An
nuai Threats of Strikes.
VANCOUVER, B. C, April 12. The
Fraser River Canners Association has an
ticipated the annual threats of strikes by
tho salmon fishermen, 'and today fixed
the rate to be paid for sockeyesat 20
cents per fish. Last year, the canners
offered the fishermen their choice of a
fiat rate of 12 cents per flsh or a sliding
scale, the latter being accepted by the
fishermen. The rate now offered is the
highest paid for four years. Chinese con
tractors held a meeting today, and decided
not to make contracts for packing fish
unless the canners guaranteed 75 per cent
of their contracts. These contractors pro
vide the labor for packing the salmon in
side the canneries, and claim to have lost
money through the poor catches of recent
years. An advance In the price of pack
ing salmon has also been demanded by
tho Chinese contractors. They ask 50
cents per finished case, Instead of 49 cents,
and the difference. If granted, will amount
to $10,000 in the course of the season.
The Chinese who make a business of
contracting with the canners put up the
prices, they state, because of the scarcity
of labor this year, as compared with past
seasons. They announce that the increase
In the head tax on Chinese entering the
country has cut off all immigration, and
that Chinese labor Is becoming very
scarce. They state that since January 1 of
the present yir between 1500 and 2000
Chinese have gone from this Coast to
points in the Northwest and to Eastern
Canada. The contractors here are, there

Investor Says He Lost $400,000
Through False Representations.
NEW YORK, April 12. Justice Blanch
ard. In the Supreme Court today. Issued
an attachment in an action brought by
Arthur L. Meyer against the property of
Dr. Seward Webb, in this state. The. at
tachment was served. The suit is brought
to recover 5400,000 with interest from De
cember 15, 1901.
In the affidavit on which the attach
ment was granted, Meyer says that on
August 1, 1901, Dr. Webb was the owner
of income bonds which had been issued
by the Mohawk &. Malone Railroad Com
pany, of the par value of $3,900,000, and in
duced him (Meyer) to purchase them by
falsely representing that the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad Com
pany was desirous of purchasing the
bonds and had through Its officials offered
to purchaso them for a price exceeding
$3,900,000.
"These representations," says the affi
davit, "were made to me with the know
ledge of their falsity on the part of the
defendant, and with intent to cheat and
defraud me for the purpose of Inducing
me, In reliance thereon, to pay him the
sum of $3,900,000, which was largely in
excess of the actual value of the bonds,
to the extent of $400,000.

NEW YORK, April 13. Rumors that

day, the pontiff spent a restless night, and
he was much agitated when Dr. Lapponi
reached the Vatican In response to a
summons. A soothing potion was at onco
prescribed. The long ceremony in St.
