NONE OF OUR BUSINESS Male Approves ScntlmcntTof Bacon's Resolution and Thinks Senate Should Insist on Tiding Con sulted -Beforehand. WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. Senator Bacon today succeeded Jn securing an open dis cussion of the Moroccan question by the Senate. This result wis accomplished by the Introduction of a resolution maklnp a, declaration against Interference on .the part of the United States .in any contro versy among European nations concerning their- internal affairs. The broad scope of the resolution relieved it from the point of order made on the Moroccan resolution, and. notwithstanding that Bacon referred freely to the Morocco conference, no effort was 'made to put him off.. He spoke at length in opposition to the policy of in terference in European internal complica tions, pointing out the possibility of disas trous consequences, and his address brought out a number of questions and Interruptions to relieve the proceedings of the characterization of a set speech. During the course of the debate. Hale took occasion to express in frank and emphatic terms his disapproval of the pol icy of participating in the Algeciras con ference, at the same time voicing his con lldence that the President and Secretary of War -would so guide our delegates to the conference as to prevent any depart ure from the nonintervention policy of the United States. Lodge, Spooner and Tillman also participated in the debate. Bacon's resolution, at his request, was referred to the committee on foreign rela tions. It reads as follows: Resolved, by the Senate. That Interference with or participation In any controversy be tween European governments relatinz to European International questions J a viola tion of the well-settled, well-defined policy pt this Government, which has been recog nized and observed for more than a century past. Bacon Attacks Root's Policy. Bacon stated frankly that he had been Induced to offer the resolution by the ac tion taken by the Senate on his Moroccan resolution. He commented on an article in the Washington Post, which told of permission given by Secretary Root to the writer to examine alL the papers relating to the participation of the United States in the Algeciras (Spain) conference, and said he had no doubt that the statements in the article jvere Inspired by the Secre tary of State. Lodge asked Bacon if he was prepared to say that the article was entirely upon the authority of Mr. Root. Bacon challenged Lodge, and later Aid rich, to obtain from Mr. Root a disavowal of that portion of the article which he held to be disrespectful to the Senate. Lodge said he did not care to follow a suggestion by Tillman that he (Lodge) call up Mr. Root over the telephone and ask for a disavowal. Bacon said that'll was disrespectful for. Mr. Root to with hold papers from the Senate and at the same time display them to newspaper men. Tillman said he thought an explanation was due, in order not to do Mr. Root an Injustice, and called attention to the fact that the Secretary had not refused the Moroccan papers for the reason that the Senate had not asked for them as the resolution Jiad not .been adopted. Both Bacon and Tillman referred to Lodge as the defender of the Cabinet members. Hale Sees Danger Ahead. Hale said: 1 think that on all matter submitted to the Senate Involving treaties or even the negotiation o treaties. It was never Intended to shut the Senate out of participation. I do not think the -Senate thould stand dumb in such matters, as name Senators yeem to do. It is said that we may trust the executive. 1 think we may But suppose we should have an executive that we could not. trust? What would happen if such an executive should ilnd it desirable to rehabilitate his own for tunics or those of his party? What, in such a cae. must happen if th Senate should be compelled to wait until the mischief is done? Spooner asked what could be done at such a stage, and Hale replied: I have no doubt if it was found that the" executive was taking; advantage of his power to., commit the country to a war policy the Senate, with the" House or Representatives, could interfere and put a check to his course. 1 don't believe that in the present care the Secretary of War will -allow the country to lc involved, and I do believe that the con servative interests of the country will be guarded. I see no alarm, but I wish that the Secretary of State and the President had determined not to send delegates to this con ference. It Is not called in the interest of commerce. It is a siroon pure and outright po lltlcal affair, and has to do with matters in Wjhich we have no .concern. .1 cannot -peaJ: for the President or the Secretary of State, but I should think that, if the conference was to be held now, they would hesitate be fore agreeing to enter it. But they have sone too far to recede at this Htage. The danjrer is pot, from the President nor from the Secretary, but from' the war spirit in this country. , Suppose Conference Should Tic. Bacon expressed the opinion that nine out of ten who had heard the debate agreed with the position of-Hale, and he asked what would happen It a question Involving serious political questions should arise and the American delegates should have the tie vote. "In such event," replied Hale, "i be lieve that Secretary Root, backed by the President, would telegraph the delegates to withdraw from the conference." Bacon responded that, while all might be safe under the present Administration, the Important point Is that a great prece dent Is involved. The time might come when bad men would toe In places of re sponsibility, as it had In one instance, when a .man who was afterwards tried for treason had cast a deciding vote. Concluding, Bacon said he had meant no reflection . on the President, nor the Sec retary of State, both of whom he highly respected, but added that the President, not being a lawyer, might easily become Involved In some matters requiring legal discrimination. Bacen's resolution was then referred to and New Mexico as one state, and had always opposed it. At the last session, he said, the opposition supported the rules committee of the House in joining the statehood question as the best means of killing the bill. As to his views on the tariff, Babcock said thej' had no, changed. He presented a resolution, adopted by the Wisconsin delegation in Congress, January It, 1903, in favor of revision, and he said that while bowing as a party man to the pro gramme, he still adhered to the opinion that revision should be had. There was no reply to Babcock's statement, and when he concluded, some of his colleagues applauded. Resolutions calling on the Secretary of Navy to report if there has been any delay in delivering materials to the bat tleships Connecticut and Louisiana, now being built, or any change in the cost or plans of the ships were agreed on. Warning; to Standputtcrs. In opposition to the Philippine bill Davis asserted that the recent expedi tion of members of the Philippine com mittee was gotten up for tho purpose of parsing the ponding: bill. He said hc beneficiary of the legislation would be the so-called sugar trust and the Sprcckels people, who wore the only purchasers of raw sugar in this coun try. Announcing- himself in favor of tar iff revision, Davis concluded with a warning to Republican representatives of manufacturing districts. "You had better be wise in time." he said. "You had better retain the friendship and co-operation of the farmer and thus secure and retain his vote because, niy friends, there may be a time when. If a gentle zophyr doos not affect you, a cyclone will." The 'acredness" of the schedule of the Dingley tariff was made the sub ject of a speech of castlgation against Republican Inaction regarding tariff revision by De Armond. With an over whelming majority In the House and Senate and a deoidodly overwhelming majority in the White House. he(sald, the Republican party had no excuse for inaction. Boutcll Closes Debate. Mr. Boutell, closing the dobate, re viewed the provisions of the bill and urged the following reasons for its passage: That it will meot tho ap proval of the great mass of Americans; that it is hoped it will prove of groat benefit to both the Philippines and the United States and that all educated Filipinos favor the measure. An entertaining digression was made by Boutcll. involving the. pros perity of the State of Missouri. He was describing Its richneSvS in Biblical lan guage when Champ Clark interrupted to Inquire if Botrtell was going to give .the Dingley tariff law .credit. , for ajl this. It had given Missouri producers bet ter prices for their products in this country, was the reply. When the Dingley law was passed. Boutcll said, the mortgagos on Missouri farms made the stae look like a tented field, now there were not enough such mortgages to furnish paper on whloh the recent speech of Clark could have been writ ten. Clark was on his feet instantly. "Wait," said Boutell. . "I itave yet other Missouri blessings to recount. The last was the fact that Missouri had placed herself in the Republican column. The next would be the conver sion of Clark to protection and his olevation to the Senate. He challenged Clark to joint debate in his district. Clark to advocate tearing down the Custom-houses and Boutcll to advocate the Dingley rates or even higher ones." Clark aiccepted the challenge. He added that his "tear down Custom houses" speech was made nine years ago. "How long do you think it will be before any gentleman on that side will make a speech which will live for nine years?" he asked amid laughter. Representative Hermann, of Ore gon, presented himself and took the oath as a member. It was his first ap pearance on the floor this session. At 4:25 o'clock the House adjourned until tomorrow at noon. WAXTS CHANGES INVESTIGATED Arizona Delegate Will Stir Up Scan dal lit Statehood Fight. AVASHINGTON. Jan. li. (Special.) Delegate Mark Smith, of Arizona an nounces tonight that tomorrow he will arise in the House to a question" of per sonal privilege and demand an inves tigation of the charges that a corrupt lobby from his Territory has been at work here in aid of the opposition to the joint statehood bill. The story is persistent that such Information was given the members of the Missouri del egation by the President during a re cent conference. Attempts have been made to quote the President's words, although the, Mlssourians refuse to discuss the inci dent, A reproduction of the words credited has been Issued from the White House. But this has In no wise allayed the Increasing feelings of bit terness and there is now talk that an attempt will be made tomorrow to in troduce and have adopted a resolution providing for an inquiry. Feeling In many instances Is running high, although the leaders are labor ing to confine the objections to a polit ical difference and not let them: develop Into personal acrimony. Hotheads are charging that patronage is being of fered to insurgents if they will aban don their opposition. Both sides are confidently expressing satisfaction over the outlook. J. M.
