framimr Lrfijitles. . The Question was
-raed by Bacon in a speech on his reso
lution requesting Information concerning
the Algeciras conference. He talked for
almost three hours and was followed by
Spooncr, who spoke for considerably
more than an hour. Both speeches were
interspersed with debate, largely between
Bacon and Spooner, and there were two
or three sharp clashes between
them. Pattorepn yielded the floor at the
beginning of- the day's sitting o Bacon,
giving notice that he would speak to
morrow. v
' Lodge gave notice of a speech Monday
on the railroad rate bill.
When the routine of the morning busi
ness was concluded, Patterson's resolu
tion was laid beforo the Senate. Patter
son announced that he would address the
Senate tomorrow, as Bacon was entitled
to the floor today.
Bacon on Rights of Senate.
Bacon then proceeded with his argu
ment on his Moroccan resolution. The
jspcech, in the main, was a plea for the
right of the Senate to "advise and con
sent in the matter of negotiation of
treaties."
Spooner asked Bacon if. he considered
it the duty of a Senator to give advice
to the executive when asked, and Bacon
replied in the affirmative.
Foraker called attention to Bacon's
contention as to the duty oY Senators to
advise the executive and asked the
Georgia Senator whether he thought that
a party caucus ought to bfe permitted to
stand in the .way of a Senator's per
formance of his duty.
Bacon replied sharply that he did not
know of any Senator In a better position
than Foraker to reply to such a question
himself, but he modified the statement so
as to relieve it of its personal applica
tion and said that, on account of reasons
satisfactory to themselves and because of
forceful Influences brought to bear on
them, many Senators had been brought
to give their adhesion to measures which
they did not approve. Bacon declined to
discuss the point further, saying that he
would not anticipate "what will be a
most interesting performance tomorrow.
if we are correctly informed," He added
that; ' if the Republican party had not
been iiolding caucuses, it was because
they were held by a more potent in
fluence. Bacon contended that Congress
was in far greater danger of encroach
ment from the" executive than was the
executive 'from Congress.
White House Encroachments.
"Who does not know," he asked, "that
the most influential part of the legisla
tive power is at the .other end of -Penn
sylvania avenue In the White House? I
don t refer to the present occupant," he
added, "but- to alL the .occupants of the
past generation." He added, however.
mai mo tenaency naa never Deen more
pronounced than It was today.
Bacon contended that. It th T!n!tii
States should establish the precedent of
-taKing charge of the fiscal affairs of
Santo Domingo, conditions were such In
other South and Central American Re-
publics as to make it posstute that this
country would render slmjlar duties
uiore.
Not ony are we to take the ulcerous
sore.- this pestiferous cancer, of Santo
Domingo, but like duties are liable to bo
assumed and like calamities are liable to
befull us in- other: countries," he asserted.
He instanced the condition of affairs in
Costa Rica, saying they were similar to
tnose m Santo Domingo.
Bacon declared that not only had the
senate the right to participate in the ne
gotiation of a treaty,- but it was perfectly
competent for the Senate to formulate a
treaty and send it to tho President. Pe
turnlng to the Algeciras conference, he

hpooner followed Bacon, declaring his
conviction tnat it was the fluty of the
President to send delegates to Algeciras.
He then stated that he knew it to bo a
fact that Austria and Italy had refused
to attend the conference if all- the slgna

bling and the deliberations of this con
lerence at Algeciras."
During a colloquy between Spooncr and
Bacon concerning the resolution which
the latter had introduced, asking for in
formation concerning Morocco, some heat
was displayed by both Senators Spooner
said the request for Information should
have eo"n in secret session and there
would hove -been no opposition.
"It was In secret session and the Sena
tor did not object, retorted Bacon
sharply.
Spooner said the introduction of the
resolution in open session "was grossly
unfair,',' -and after a further exchange
' said
. "The. intention was to bring the Presl
cvnt to book before the people of tho
United States.
Bacon's Face Grows Red.
Bacon's face grew redder as Spooner
proceeded, and, interrupting Spooncr, he
warmly resented the Imputation conveyed.
Spooner was quick in his disavowal of In
tentional affront,' and the Etatus quo was
soon re-established.
Spooner declared that in tho exercise of
Ids duties the President is "uncontrolled
and uncontrollable and not answerable to
us or the other House." He said a resolu
tion demanding information from the
President would be an insult.
Spooner concluded at 5:10 P. M., and
jifter Lodge had given notice of a speech
he will spend tho Winter.

hero today by Charles M. Hartwell against
George Farner, alias H. D. Crawford. The
plaintiff Is the present proprietor of the

former proprietor. Judgment is asked for
$2500 damages through alleged misrepre

duced Hartwell to pay $7300 lor a half In

Crawford, whose true name is alleged
In the complaint to be George Famer, has
been a prominent figure in Republican .pol

WILTi ORDER WIRES BURIED
WASHINGTON, Feb. . Having fixed
the end of the general debate on the "rate
bill at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow, the recogni
tion of the chair was passed around at a.
lively rate-In the. House today. Seventeen
speeches were made, all of them for the
measure. The railroads came in for an
unusual amount of criticism.
Gillespie of Texas expressed his dissat
isfaction with the reply to his resolution
hinting at a combination between the
Pennsylvania and other railroads. He
will address a request to the President
to have the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion make a thorough Investigation along
lines he will Indicate, to clear up that sub
ject. Gaines of West Virginia placed In
the record evidences of combinations of
roads to control the coal output of his
state, and a traffic agreement between
many' Southern roads and steamship lines
indicating a division of the territory to
control business. He said It was because
competition bad ceased already that the
pending bill was demanded.
Laaghter Closes tlic Day.
The day ended with a general laugh.
Sulxer of New York, who made his ap
pearance as a humorist, toasted the op
ponents of the bill, viewed wkh suspicion
the unanimous report, and pointed out as
the "African in the woodpile" the word
"suspended." which, he said, would apply
to every rate fixed until the poor shipper
was financially suspended in trying to en
force it. However, .he will vote for the
bill.
The list of .speakers included Burnett of
Alabama, Lewis of Georgia, Gudgcr of
North Carolina, Dickson of Illinois. Gil
lespie of Texas, Stanley of Kentucky,
Murdock of Kansas, Conner of Iowa, Hub
bard of Iowa, Haugen of Iowa, Gaines of
West Virginia, Small of North Carolina,
Fin lay of South Carolina. Madden of Illi
nois, Waldo of New York, Candler of
Mississippi and Sulzer of New York.
Gillespie, author of the resolution regard
ing the Pennsylvania Railroad combina
tion, declared that the answer submitted
by the President was an Insult; that with
tho great machinery at hand a complete
Investigation of the actual conditions
should have been made. He said such an
Investigation would show traffic agree
ments of an Important and questionable
character.
Wise Men of the East.
Stanley asserted that tho men who
came to the defense of the railroads in
the House were all from the East. He
referred to the "three wise men of the
East" McCall. Sibley and Llttlcfleld
and added, that air other pectlons of
the country wanted the legislation.
But these men -admitted the roads did
not come with clean hands. He con-
tmuea:.
They acsoit that the. railroads hare been
zullty of. secret rebates, . of private car abcte
and more than one of them has said that

sto when a shrewd Connecticut Yankee named
Swift conceived the Idea. The only defenss

"Why, the renUemcn from Maine, rennsyl

vlclousness in their assault upon this bill
that Is amaxlnr. They have compared the
efforts of the public rerranta of the American
people to Kop this robbery with the cruel
Orion of my God. They have cosu-ared it

TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 6. Special.)
An ordinance has been prepared by
Frank Xjambor, chairman of the Coun

Gaines of West Virginia, a member ol
the committee reporting the bill, dis
cussed the evils and remedies Involved In
the question. He said that a committee
controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad
expected to control the coal output ot
West Virginia. In the Spring of J&M he
introduced a resolution In the House on
that point. It -was not pressed, but
Gaines said he uras furnished with the
Information he had asked for by the In
terstate Commerce Commission some
time later. He then read two sections
from the agreement of the Southern Rail
way &. Steamship Association, dividing
up the territory. This agreement, ho
said, was signed by the proper officers of
29 railways and steamship companies.
SuUcr Finds tlic digger.""
Sulzer of New Tork declared that If
the railroads were opposed to the bill
.the committee could not have secured ,
a unanimous vote. If the bill required
the railroads to live up to the law the S
corridors would have been full of lobby
ists and railroad lawyers.
"But I have not seen a lobbyist here
yet."
"Does the gentleman from New York
know a lobbyist when he sees one?"
asked Grosvcnor.
"I certainly do," answered Sulzer. "and
what Is more, I know a railroad lawyer
when I see one."
He said the "colored gentlemen in the
woodpile" was the authority to "sus
pend the findings or the commission."
This word had never been adjudicated,
"but we know what It means," ho con
tinued, "and the public will and out later
and the poor shipper still later."
