The theory that the 'rei.int power of removal could be limited whs debated from the foundation of the Govern ment until under Andrew Johnaon the tenure- f -onTlce act waa jimsihI . It wan found 1 in pon Kibln to conduct the Government under mich limitations and the act wan modified under tlvaiit and repealed under Cleveland. I believe jt to have been unoonnltutlonal. but that It wax Improcl icable hae ben demonstrated. Thiin t h- ITesident's power remained and It muft remain absolute. What t true Of CiYlj life Is true with tenfold force of tfie Army. The law, the Constitution, the ata-tutoa and iwlfwm practice are r clear an to th right r t-be President to' terminate the contract of eniiMmeiu and discharge of floWers ft( plnga. tire that It seems a waste of words to anyone who ttaa read the statute! to ariue It at all. Forakcr Oonios President's Power. ForaKrr, reviewing Lodge's objeetion ro the Foralter resolution, declared the ma t ter 1 nvt-i I ved two j m cation a. on of fact a to the affray, the other of law us to the President's authority. For- a ker said he wan opposed to the Lodge position on both questions. Fornker denied that the power of the President was deduct from what was the power of the commander-in-chief of the Brit ish A r m Ft m nut he deduced from the Constitution of the fjnlted States. "There is no autocracy In this coun- try," Hid i''orakor. "not even in the commftnder-ln-clilef of the Army. A 1 1 power is derived from the Constitu tion." Forakfr ..misted that, if Congress had "poken on any subject relative to Army regulations, there was no room for the exercise of any power to the contrary on the part of the Govern ment. In mutters of regulation on which Congress had not spoken, the Constitution Rave the power ' to make necessary regulations. As to the contract of . enlistment, which, Todfra said could be terminated at the pleasure of the Government, Forakcr said It contained a provision that Its effect should be ftoverned by lh. .rttrle. of war and rules and regu lations of the teorvice. 1r President Above Law? Forakr maintained that the official of the war Department and Depart- mi ft! JlUtlPe Wl estopped them- fives from denylnfr that the affray at Krownavllle wn.a a caso covered by tho articles of war by the order that was fclv&R tft tVi eomm&nW o! the depart- ni 1 1 1 of Texa. to 71 r." Tr cnnrirri. an1 a.r-li:f(-MCI.riff iit;nat I 3 m r m lr rt or th companies involved. While he dis claimed any Intention to discuss the affray at this time, Foraker remarked that he would say In passing, "that, It what Is contended for here be true. that there was such a conspiracy and such consummation of It and that the number of men engaged In it and the number of accessories before and after the fact necessary to carry It out were as charered. It is a thing: which has never happened In all the history of ourtrlmlnal jurisprudence." "I think the Senate would be in a ri diculous attitude if It should adopt a resolution that could he interpreted to estop us when we come to consider this case on the facts which are to be devel oped as $0 whether or not the President acted within his constitutional or legal authority, is the President above and over the law? Can he ignore it?" he asked. Koraker said it was the birthright of every American citizen to be allowed trial when charged with, crime. These, men. he added, were eharerd with mur der and conspiracy. Because there was no evidence to sustain the charges, the men were turned out of the service. He quoted the Supreme Court on the question of the right to suspend law to meet an emergency as saying: 'Such archy doetrlne leads directly to an il art ltlj?r.t to Inquiry. He said me President had been careful to point out that he had not discharged these troops as onranlzations. but as In dividuals, each being discharged by name. liach individual," he satd, "had a right to a board of Inauiry. It was the July of his superior officer to know of his riKh ts, to advise and to protect him in them. But It was riot so." Piscuseinj the Sixtieth OWo, vliicli Dad been cited as a precedent for the Browns. ville action. Foraker maintained It had been honorably discharged. He read a number of letters to show that the regl- merit was disorganized while under pa- role and held in the service after its term had expired. Just as Foraker was concluding-. be- cause of the lateness of the hour, paj ing lie should endeavor to finish his speech in a brief time tomorrow. Tillman said lie would like to hear from the Senator just why It was that the Sixtieth Ohio had "been picked out." "Mr. President," responded Mr. Fora ker, t am not obliged to tell the Sena tor every thing: I know, and Z know the Senator. Knows why," Tillman, persisting, asked whether For. aker was not a member of the regiment. I-"oraKer explained that it had been er roneously stated that he was, but that in reality the Eighty-ninth Ohio was the only regiment to which he had ever be longed. No efTor-1 was made to get action on the resolution, as. Foraker said he would continue tomorrow. 1 PRESSES THE CLAIM Jackson Begins Suit to Oust Mayor McClellan. SAYS HE USURPS OFFICE Vain Attempt to End Controversy. At the conclusion of the debate it was agreed by the leaders that a settlement of the controversy between Foraker and Lodfte was not in sie-ht. Prior to I-odere's speech it had been Foraker's Intention to offer a substitute for h!s own resolution, asking the committee on military affairs to conduct an In vestifsation Into all mat ters pertaining to the Brownsville affair. This, it is said, would have permitted an inquiry into the constitutional questions. Senators who sought to end the contro versy assumed that the military affairs committee would have considered that the constitxitlonal and leisal questions in volved were for the deliberations of the judiciary committee. Forakcr said he eared little for the phraseology, but he did object to IoclKe's interpretation of the substitute prepared by Knox and of- ferod by the Massachusetts Senator. This caused him to oppose the Lodse substi tute, but it in expected he will offer a substitute C his. own. INAUGURATED IN CHURCH Buchtcl Will Have Ills Way lit Spite of protests. DENVER, Jan. 7. Kev.
