"That Is all."
The South Carolina Senator took his
seat, and was then subjected to one or
the most direct and stinging Indictments
ever delivered by a Senator attainst a
colleaarue. Spooner Quoted from Tillman'a
utterances defending: the burning- of ne-
groes at the stake and exclaimed:
'No man ought to encourage such a
horrible thlna; as that. It Is a crime
against civilisation to encourage It." He
Said he lOOhed With admiration on the
efforts of Southern Governors to SlippreSS

them trials. He said:
Tillman on Toasting rom.
I often hava been shocked by the attitude
or the Senator from South Carolina, when
he has spoken here in Justification and sup-
port of lynching. It there is one roan who
ought not to encourage it. It is the infill
who sits here as the maker of laws.

or the day's session of the Senate was a
constttutlonal argument by Spopner, of
President's
'rinht to discharge the negro troops at
tioned by Tillman, and the two engaged
In a heated controversy. Spooner made a
bitter attack on the South Carolina Sen-
- Rtor. The bitter feellna; provoked niKkc.

Spooner. Maid he agreed that Congrrto
should determine the oath of enlistment
of land and sea forces, the duration ot
term. the. pay. the method of punishment
and many other resrulations for the gov-
inmen c of the soldiers, but he could
not 8$ree that the commanueT-!n-chier ot

or war
in and. '
made the .President the commander-in-
chief of the Army without defining his
functions. declared Spooner. He read
from a decision In th Swayne case In
the Court of Claims that Congress may
.Wish the. mllltarv forces, bitt
so lona a there la a force, the commander-in-chief
Is aunreme. This decision set
forth the view that the powers of Congress
and the. powers of the commander-in-chief
are supreme, and - that one cannot en
croach upon the power of the other.

, (Bacon.) . " '
The point was made "by Spooner that
the constlt ution does not say that Con
press has the power to govern the mill-
" taxy forces, but to 'maker rules lor the
government of the Army. He said that
the word: ''to ' make rules' meant that
the enforcement of the regulations for the
government Of the army rests absolutely
with the President as commander-ln-
,-hlef. In cttspn where Congress has

involved would have been dismissed and
the entire country would have applauded.
Where rVjraker Krred.
While agreeing with Foraker that the
President has no power to punish troops.
Spooner defended tlie chief executive
aK1nst the charge of usurpation In dis
. charging the soldiers or the Twenty-
. fifth Infantry
"Wvery man charged with a crime Is
entitled to his day in court." he admitted,
' but at the same time contended that in
; the present' ease there is no charge to
- Justify an impeachment of the Pres.
f dential authority.
Spooner explained the failure to turn
, over to the Texas civil authorities the
perpetrators of the Brownsville crime by
saying It has been impossible to Identify
' them. '"Sharing' with them, black as
they were,-the fame of a soldier In Cuba,
! none can doubt that the President ar-
. rived at this conclusion with deep re
. luctance and none can doubt his sincerity
In the course he entered upon' he said
impressively.
Expressing the opinion that some of the
men disc bar Red were sullty, .Mr. Spooner
i RSked what Ihe President was to do In
. the face of the fact that both the guilty
f and innocent were mute.
""What town," he naked. Vwould -want
' the mon who were charged with making
1 a night attack on defenrelePB citizens

weapons, men emboldened by their suc
cessful attacks wlthoutdetectlon, who
might commit the same crime or worse
rher his position and the mightier his
tuence the more will he have to answea-
for. NO man can come here with good grace
to impeach the President for his dismissal
of man because they were not identified as

rom a lynching bee or Justifies one.
After declaring- that there should not
be one law for the colored man and an-
nth a Ka Hit a man Knnnnei- aMln
deprecated the fact that he had been
drawn from the main subject, spooner
concluded his speech with a brief dis
cussion of the race question. tie ae-
hla Kallu that 1-1. mnti-.T-.rvr nf the
people Of the South did not entertain the
radical views expressed by Tillman, lie
admitted the difficulties and hardships of
the problem In the South, and said the
people Ot the North felt the best -way
to aid In its solution was to refrain from
discussing it. He did not believe Till
man's agitation could aulet the situation.
Spooner quoted a newspaper report of
one of Tillman', tectum In which M
f erred to negroes as baboons and said
when asked "Mow about the law?" "To
h 1 with such a law."
Spooner said ha knew of no better way
to perpetuate the struggle between, the
two races than to be constantly and
violently declaring- such trouble to be 1m-
mtnent and unavoidable.
Tillman Promise's rteply.
When Spooner concluded Tillman re-
marked that he had expected to have a
few words to say to the Senator from
Wisconsin "in view of the direct nersonal

PARIS, Jan. 15. The French episcopate
opened Its special session today at the
Chateau de ' la Meautte. Hundreds of
curious persons surrounded the walls' of
the famous old structure, built for the
Duchess de Berry, to' witness the assembling-
of the ecclesiastics.
After a service in the chapel of the
chateau and singing the "Venl Creator,"
the cardinals, archbishop's and ' bishops,

inaugurated, the . business of the day by
electing- four commissions, as follows:
First, to consider the questions in con

public for the present. Monstgnore Da-

a formal order from Rome not to consider
the contingency of private worship: sec

port of th clergy; fourth, the seminaries
and nrlmarv schools.
The answer of the French bishops to
"p. . iiiniii as to wnat attitude
the episcopate would adopt in" the event
of further prosecutions, is reported as follows:
rhe development of events must be
awaited. In the meanwhile worship will
continue provisionally, without provoca

the new laws will simply be ignored. The
parish priests will leave their churches

- town, and even Serseant Sanders, with
, JH yeara of honorable service, could not
!have gone to 9outh Carolina, the State
of his birth, without running the risk
of being shot down.
"Would the Senator like him sent to
.'Wisconsin?" asked Tillman.
1 -I would not object at all as far as
he is concerned." retorted Spooner. .
Again Tillman sought recognition, but
Spooner first . undertook to learn' the
lcnpth of the question he purposed to ask.
-Ill make my question like a bullet;"
said Tillman. ......
"And shoot lt Very slowly, I suppose."
said Spooner. '
The question at last admitted was- as
to Why the President had not adopted
Major Penrose's recommendation for the
ferreting- out of the guilty.
'The Tresldent will never require any
defense from the attacks of tbe Senator
from South Carolina," was Spooner'e
renlv. "He has developed a mania for
attacking the - President. I never have
hern so surprised bv any' man's atti
tude as 1 have by that of the Senator
from South Carolina. He Is so filled villi
animosity for the President that I do not
believe his attacks . - will be - taken
seriously.".
Tillman attempted a1 reply, hut Spooner
declined to yield. He rebnked 'Tillman
for the harsh worde Jie hurled at the
president in un tempered speeches. He
condemned Tillman for Impeaching the
motive of the President and ridiculed
Tillman's claim that .he stood for the
fundamental principle of liberty.
"Quote me accurately," shouted Till-
man.
"You quote yourself, replied Spooner.

Lovelace was acting as host, and
when it came time to settle for the

Root Speaks for Maximum and

AS BASIS FOR-RECIPROCITY
Advocates Pan-American Kaiiroad
' and Ship Subsidy Don't Want
Cuba Annexed, but Will
Help Her Stand Alone.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. At this
morning's session of the Foreign Com
merce Convention Secretary of State
Kortt. who was the principal apeafcer.
Was accorded an ovation, his remarks
being frequently Interrupted by ap
plause and cheers. H srave a resume
of the trade relations of the United
States Draetlcally with the" entire
world and outlined what was neces-
sary tc secure srreater commercial ad
vantagefi for this country. Incidental
ly iie touched on tho tar i IT, and said,
speaking for hlmBcif alone, that ha
favored the policy of maximum and
xnlnlmnm rare.
To his view, he said, the country was
advancing, and for that matter, the
whole world was advancing. Ha Bald
"Our relations continually grow more
rasonblr!. more sennlble and kindly with
Europe, with our vigorous and growing
neighbor to the North, with our rapidly
advancing and developing neighbors to
t-ha South, and with the Nations that raca
us upon tne other sicie or tne facinc.
Little Occasions lor controversy, he said,
little causes of Irritation and little incl
dents or conflicting interest continue to
arise as they do amona friends and neigh-
bors In the same town, but the general
trend of International relations WBS
towards mutual self-respect, mutual con
sideration and Rood understanding.
Mr. Root entered Into an exhaiBtlv
discussion of the resources of the Latin
American republics and made a plea for
closer trade relations, with them.
The construction of the Fan-American
Railroad, ha said, will be an accomplished
fact before many years, so that it would
be possible for - passengers and merchan
dise to travel by rail from Maine to
Buenos Ayres. He said further that one
of the obiects of the Rio Conference last
Summer was to further the Interest of the
building of that road, and that It had had
its effect.. He criticised the steamship
service between this country and South
America. and declared that subsidies
alone designed to meet the cheaper wages
and living expenses on foreign steamship
lines could bring about an adequate
American merchant marine.
Attitude to West Indies.
As to the smaller countries about the
Caribbean and the West Indian countries.
Secretary Root said they had had a hard
time, the conditions being such that at
times it was difficult for them to main
tain 'a stable srovernment.
Poor Cuba. he exclaimed, "with her
wonderful climate and richness of soil,
has suffered. We have done the best we
could to help her."
He said that tne attitude or tne unitea
States toward these countries could be
put in three sentences:
First, we don t want to taae tnem our
selves; second, we don't wantany foreign
nation to take them for themselves, ano.
third, -we want to help them and we
will."
"There was," he said, "much talle about
annexing Cuba, but," said he. "never, so
long as the people of Cuba do not them-
selves give up the effort to govern them
selves." Need Two Xarirr Rates.
Mr. Root took up the question of
reciprocity treaties and aaid that in
asmuch as So per cent of our- Imports
from SOUth America came In- free of
duty the field to be covered by such
treaties with those countries Is com
paratively narrow. There are. how
ever, he s&id. "some countriea in re-
gard to whose products I should hkc
very much to see an opportunity to
make reciprocity treaties, but these
open up a broader aubject and I do
nOt'thlnH the subject ot reciprocity
can now ba adeQUately considered Or"
discussed without going- Into a broad
er rubject tii whole Tor m . of our
tarltT Jawe. In my Judgment the United
States must come to a maximum and
minimum tariff." Great applause
gre-ted this statement.
Mr. Root said that a single stra1grh
out tariff was all very weu m a world
of single straight tariffs, hut. he said,
"we have passed on during the course
of years into a world for the most
part of maximum and minimum tar
iffs and wth our single rate tariff we
are left with very 11 tt le opportunity
to reciprocate- good treatment from
other countries and to defend our
selves against bad treatment by other
nations."
Straus on Japanese Question.
Secretary Straus discussed the
Krowlh of our trade wltn China and
Japan, as well as our other relations
With those countries. lie declared:
It Is ft matter of serious regret that recent
Incidents In a slnjrle community of this
coun try, a community whlcb ha profited
greatly by the enlargement of our trade
with Japan, should have endangered the
cordiality of relations under which the trade
has developed. While this occurrence is too
recent to have had as yet a perceptible effect
on trade relations, lt requires no stretch of
Imagination to foresee that unless these de
nlorable Incidents are satisfactorily adjusted
they will have a disastrous Influence upon j
our trade with that country. We cannot
offend another nation and hold the trade of
its people any more than an Individual mer
chant or manufacturer can expect to hold
customers whom he openly offends or bru
tally insults.

that authority be given to expend an
additional tl, TOO. 000. which will be ample
to complete the south jetty. This au
thorization Is as good as cash and will
permit the engineers to let contracts for
the entire work, the $1,700,000 to be appro
priated in the sundry civil bill of next
session.
Predge for Lower rther.
Tn providing- S3OO.00O for the Willamette
and Columbia River, below Portland, the
sub-committee Intends that $300. 00O shall
be expended in construction of a new
dredee and 1 00.000 to be utilized In Its
Operation.
But for the fact that the engineers re
cently recommended an appropriation or
J4OO.O0O for Improving the Columbia be
tween Celilo and the mouth of the Snake
River, ft Is probable that $G00,(M or t"M.-
000 would have been allowed for continuing-
work on the irelllo canal. The sub
committee deems it essential that 1jo..j-h
be appropriated lor the upper river, henre
the appropriation for (Vlllo has been cut
to $500,000. part to be in cash and the rest
to be appropriated In the sundry civil
bill.
For Oregon Coast Harbors.
In addition to these Items the subcom
m i tt e will recom mend StiO.OOQ for the
Coquflle River, fSOOO for Coos River, fio.iw
for Tillamook harbor, $10,000 for thfi Up-
per Columbia and Snake under the old
project. S100.000 for the canal at the Ca f-
cades, IW.000 for the Upper Willamette
and S100.000 for the construction of a
dredgre for harbors on the Oregon Coast.
It is quite -possible that the full com
mittee will cut the appropriation for the
Coquille to 540.000, as that is the esti
mate of the War Department, and In view
of the large appropriation for the month
of the Columbia, the items for the Cas
cade locks and .Upper Willamette will 1e
slightly reduced. Tlie report of he subcommittee-
will be considered by the full
committee within a day or two, but its
action will not be announced until the
bill is reported Friday or Saturday. In
the main it is believed that the commit
tee will accept the recommendations ot
the subcommittee.'
