neer befffra had a hlsa been heard In
that dignified bodjr.
Tha Incident followed a remark of
Palley of Temas. Crawford of South
DsJcoia. had mada a ststsmsnt bearlnf
upon tha Uortmar cssa that brought
fort! expressions of approval from on
looking rppr.nenta pf tha Illinola Senator,
who sat n the gallery.
Applause Followed by Hlsa.
"No applause will be permitted from
tfcoiw. In the galleries." said tha Vice
President, sererely.
The applause," said the Texas Pena
tnr. who was In controversy with Craw
ford. "Is a fair mea.tire of tha Intelll-
..... . v-. ii.l .nr "
from that portion of the audience
whi-h had not previously joinea in
app'.auae cams a slight outburst, despite
tie presiding officer s caution, but. as 1:
tral'.ed out. came tha hiss.
No motive for It was known by tha
Senators or officers of the body.
The day In the Senate largely was de
voted to the Larimer case. Eeverldge
rpoke for more-than four hours. Ha
did not conclude and suspended with tha
understanding that ha would contlnua
tomorrow after Loriruer'a speech In his
awn behalf.
Vote May Be Taken Today.
Furrows. In charge of the question In
behalf of tha committee on privileges
snd elections, had previously given no
tice that after Lortmer'i speech be would
ask that a vote be taken.
T.iere was general sequiesceju-e In this
plan until It waa found that Heverldge
cnuid not well conclude tonight Tha
new arrangement wi:i gtve the Indiana
Senator the close of the discussion unlet
someone uaumci the responsibility for
prolonging It to make reply to him.
Beveridae contended that a sufficient
number of members of the Illinois Leg
islature had been tainted to render Lorl
mer's success tha result of corruption.
It Is tha Integrity of tha election and
not of the member that must determine
our votes." said liererldge. "and we must
decide tha question on Its merits."
Only Saint' Confessions True.
Tak!r.g up tha testimony, BevertJga
charged that the Investigating committee
had not followed tlK law In taking proof.
In that It had not given sufficient con
sideration to the circumstances corrob
orating tha confesalona of members if
the Illinois Legislature who confessed
to bribery. Appsrently. according to tha
committee, he said, no such confession
wa to be received unless made by a
slnt.
-There !s more proof of guilt here of
every kind required than frequently hap
pens In cases tried In tha courts," he
said.
Toward tha dose, of tha Beverldga
speech Oalllnger Interrogated Beverldga
as to the source of the money which, the
latter had freely charged, had been used
In the Lo rimer ejection. Beverldga re
plied It had been received from Browns.
Broderlck and Wilson.
Whence Came Bribe Money?
"But where did Browne. Broderlck and
Wilson get ttr persisted Galllnger.
BeverMge confessed he did not know,
and. to assist him somewhat, tha New
Hampshire Senator suggested that, as
the men who had confessed to receiving
the money were a "band of liars," no
one- could tell whether there wss any
foundation for their charges In this In
star.ee. In this connection Bailey undertook
to show that nothing had developed to
connect Lorlmer with tha use of money
In tha election. He mentioned It was
a curious fact that this was tha first
case of the kind in the Senate. In which
there had been no effort to show tha
source from which the money alleged
to have been used had been derived.
Crawford's Opinion Applauded.
Crawford said:
"It makes no difference where tha
money came from. If It was used for
corrupt purposes and an election re
sulted from its use."
A burst of aprlause resounded from
tha galleries. Tha chair admonished
tha visitors that demonstrations of tha
kind are not pemittteal by tha Senate.
-Ob!" exclaimed Bailey, who accepted
the manifestation against his posi
tion. "It Is a fair measure of tha In
telligence of tha audience." Then tha
hiss waa heard.
laying there waa not a scintilla ef
evidence connecting Lorlmer with tha
charge of bribery. Bailey asked Bev
erldge if he believed Browne. Broderlck
and Wilson had supplied tha money,
and tha Indiana Senator replied In tha
negative, axpresalng tha opinion It had
been furnished to them.
Tha Texaa Senator then said, if there
had actually been money In the posses
sion of Hoistlaw. Beckmeyer. Link and
White. Its source easily could have
been traced. No effort had been made,
ha said, to show that 4 cents hsd been
4ra.wn from Lo rimer's bank, and he
argued that. If money had been used
for Lorlmer. tha bank books would
have shown this fact.
Bailey and Crawford Have Boat.
That position Is against every ruta
of common sense." declared Crawford.
Interrupting the Texan. "The burden
of proof is not on those making tha
charge; the presumption la that those
who profltsd by tha transaction fur
nished the money."
Bailey was Just aa uncomplimentary
In his response.
"W hen the Senator suggests a resort
to tha rules of common sense, he
ahouid not violate such rules himself."
ha sail. Tha trouble, ha urged, was
that It waa assumed that money bad
been used as the witnesses had
charged, which ha did not believe to
have been tha caae.
"Then." said Beverldga. "It was aU
a dream."
"No. not a dream: it was all a He."
responded Bailey.
Ioes not tha Senator believe that

last town to suffer this fata was Ouana

LORDS MAY- YIELD
ON VETO
QUESTION
Balfour Hints at Surrender
Provided Upper House Is
Reformed.
ASQUITH PRESENTS BILL
Premier Saya Elector Have Decided
and Lords Committed Suicide by
Rejecting? Budget BalTour
Pleads for Time.
LONDON. Feb. II. The first day's
debate on tba bill to abolish the veto
power of the House of .Lords, Intro
duced today In the Commons by Premier
Asqulth, while It failed to indicate the
fate of the measure, left little doubt
as to the attitude of the leader of the
opposition on the question.
Mr. Balfour, whose speech was the
event of the day, seemed to be de
veloping a Una of policy which would
admit of the veto bill passing the
Lords without great obstacles, pro
vided It was accompanied by a reform
of that House, but he indicated he
would consent to no change of the con
stitution which would allow Parlia
ment to pass the home rule bill without
the bill having been voted on by the
electorate.
Mr. Balfour had a conference this
afternoon with Lord Lansdowne. leader
of the opposition In the House of Lords,
but It Is still uncertain what line the
peers will take.
Asqulth Says Voters Have SpoVen.
A full House faced Mr. Asqulth when
he rose to make the customary ex
planatory statement on the Introduc
tion of a measure of such moment.
Tickets for seats In the public galleries
had been exhausted weeks before and
the diplomatic and peers' balconies
were thronged.
The Premier lost no time In letting
the opposition know that he felt the
country was behind him, and therefore
did not hesitate to reintroduce the bill
without a change of a word from tha
form In which It had lta first reading
last year. The measure, ha said, had
gone before the electorate at the re
cent electlona and had been Indorsed
by the return of Its supporters to the
House of Commons with a majority of
126.
Ixrds Commit Suicide.
Mr. Asqulth declared that when tha
Lords rejected the budget of 1809 they
commltteed political suicide. The Pre
mier continued:
"Is all progressive legislation, though
clearly desired and demanded by the
people, to come to a standstill pending
the evolving of a new second cham
ber? We say "No." and the country
has said 'No' twice."
The Premier said the country re
quired an Immediate remedy for the
present evil and could not await a re
lease from the dangerous and Intoler
able situation until the long and la
borious process necessary for the
creation of a new second chamber had
been completed.
Balfour Wants Deliberation.
Mr. Balfour commented on the ab
sence of all conciliatory spirit In
the Premier's speech. All were
agreed, he said, that "there
should ba a modification of the rela
tions of tha two houses, but the re
construction of tha House of Lords
should be the subject of cautious delib
eration." Tha bicameral system must
prevail, and the House of Commons
must be the predominant partner.
Mr. Balfour said ha was convinced
that some leaven of the hereditary
principle was necessary for the second
chamber.
NEW JAPAN TREATY READY
(Continued Froio First Pace.)
in the case of China, when It enacted
the Chinese exclusion laws.
It Is understood there is no disposi
tion on the part of the Japanese to
deny the extension of such powers.
What they do object to is the inclusion
in a formal treaty to which they are a
party, of a stipulation asserting that
tight, which is not embodied in any
treaty America has made with Eu
ropean powers and which serves only
as an Irritant to Japanese pride.
In other words, the consummation of
tha new treaty would be a tribute to
tha advanced position which Japan has
taken among the nations without in
any degree curtailing the power of the
United States Government to regulate
immigration by legislation.
Treaty Surprlaea Senate.
The President's action in submitting
this treaty has created great surprise
in Congress, the only persons not taken
unawares being the members of the
Senate committee on foreign relations,
who, at a dinner recently given to
them at the White House, were in
formed by the President of what the
Administration had in mind. These
Senators, consequently, were In posi
tion to realise the full Importance of
the formidable-looking document which
was laid before the Senate In the execu
tive session. Just at the close of the
day. There waa no opportunity to read
It before it had been referred to tha
foreign relations committee.
It is said that the White House din
ner developed some views on the part
of individual Senators of great inter
est as bearing upon the probable fate
of the treaty when it comes before the
Senate for approval.
China May Ask Concessions.
There waa a disposition on tha part
of some to apprehend a demand on the
part of China for a relaxation of the
rigid exclusion laws. If this concession
should be made to Japan. But it was
pointed, out that the Government would
not surrender any right of control of
Chinese Immigration, even if a new
treaty were accorded to China.
Another argument for the. treaty waa
a production of figures to show that
last year Japan voluntarily prevented
the departure of coolies, so that the
Immigration of that class, has been
practically stopped. Thle was cited as
demonstrating that reliance might
safely be placed upon tha Japanese
sense of honor.
GOULD SHARES ACTIVE
RUMOR STANDARD Olli SEEKS
CONTROL OF ROADS.
Denials Do Not Down Story Rocke-fellcr-Kuhn,
Ixx-b Interests Are
After Western Lines.
NEW YORK. Feb. 21. Increased ac
tivity today In the securities of the so
called Gould railway companies served
again to call attention to rumors of
further absorption of these properties
by Standard Oll-Kuhn. Loeb Interests,
a step In which was marked recently by
George Gould's announcement of his
forthcoming retirement from the presi
dency of the Missouri Pacific.
Representatives of the Standard OI1
Kuhn, Loeb Interests denied they had
embarked upon a campaign for control
of the Gould properties, or had in mind
any transcontinental road from Den
ver, with these properties as a nucleus.
Wall Street believed, however, that be
fore many months further radical
changes of ownership, with more or less
elimination of the Gould Influences,
will be shown.
The feature of the morning session
on the stock exchange was the strength
of Wabash 4s, which were again
traded into an enormous extent. They
advanced to a gain of more than
three points from yesterday's closing.
Business in the bonds In the first hour
aggregated over $1,000,000 (par value),
while Missouri Pacific convertible and
Wabash-Pittsburg terminal bonds also
were very active.
In the stock department, there was
great activity in Missouri Pacific. Den
ver & Rio Grande. Texas & Pacific and
other Gould shares, at advanced prices.
On the "curb," Western Pacific stocks
lost some of their recent advance at too
outset, but soon recovered.
CHINA'S REPLY SUITS CZAR
Russia Expecta Demands to Be
Granted, but Stoves Troops.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21. The
government considers the tone of the
Chinese reply to the Russian note de
manding a closer adherence to the pro
visions of the treaty of 1881, affecting
Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan, most
conciliatory and satisfactory.
As a whole, the note handed to Rus
sian Minister Korostovlta at Pekln
yesterday Is regarded as evidence of
a dealre on the part of China to satisfy
all the Russian demands.
A dispatch from Harbin says Russian
troops are being concentrated at
Klakhta, a settlement In Siberia, close
to the Chinese frontier and opposite
the Chinese town of Mlamechln. Or
ders have been issued to strengthen
the watch on the frontier.
The Chinese Resident-General of
Mongolia has received orders from
Pekln to mobilize the border troops.
