TKK SAY IX DETAIL.
H StMevsBed Puerto II I can Bill,
Senate Ha-wallan Bill.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 -Clayton (Dem.
Ala.) was the first speaker of the day in
the House presenting- legal arguments
against the Puerto Rico bill. He main
tained that the United States military
forces held Puerto Rico at the time of
the treaty, and that (he island became
as much a part Of fl-Uflfted "States as
the Territory of A'ristnwT.
Tawney Rep. MMn.). a member of the
v,aye nd means committee, enlivened the
debate bjr a severe arraignment of Little
field (Rep. Me ) for his speech yesterday,
attacking the bill and its promoters.
' I have been profoundly impressed,"
said Mr. Tawnej, "with the great import
ance of the questions Involved In this dis
cussion. Until yesterday these questions
had been considered by gentlemen on both
Bides of the House, with the utmost sin
cerity, wMh earnestness and with that
dignity becoming questions of so great
importance and the dignity of the forum
in which they are to be tried. I regret
that U was sufficient for the gentleman
from' Maine to play in this great debate
the part of a buffoon for the benefit of
the Democratic party and for the' amuse
ment of -the galleries. The Democratic
applause with which that particular af
fectation of voice was reoeived yesterday
would not have greeted a speech made
upon the pending bill by that late peerless
Alnerlcmn statesman and always royal Re
publican predecessor of the gentleman
from Maine. The hope of notoriety or
the existence of legal technicalities would
not nave induced
d that gentleman (Ding-
ley) to have left the ranks of the Repub
Means and Joined the ranks of the Demo
crats, simply because his judgment did
not cotndoe with the Judgment of his as
sociates unon the ways and means com
mittee, or upon the floor of this House, re
specting party policy. Nor could he have
been induced to have -exhibited that want
of decent courtesy toward the members of
that committee or his colleagues upon the
floor, of this House, which the gentleman
(LitOeneld) exhibited, in the course of- his
remarks.
"What Is the excuse the gentleman has
for his unusual and, I may say, unprece
dented course "What is his justification.
He tried to make this House believe It was
because 'we are attempting o impose a
tax upon the people of Puerto Rico, and
also because, according- to the peculiar
logic of this backwoods lawyer, as he
rkUmsMrosetf. this bill is unconstitutional.
In the course of his remarks 'he toM. this
House that if this bill Is enacted into
la . the spruce lumbermen of Maine, car
rying their lumber to Puerto Rico, would
be obliged to pay a duty of fit cents a
thousand on all the rough lumber which
they take to that island, "Who is it that
is complaining of that tax of 6w cents a
thousand? Not the people of Puerto
Rico, but the lumber barons of the State of
Maine. That is, the naaoon h'. the gen
tleman is here saying fee oaMnot agree
with his party aasfwhtjlry in Imposing, a
duty upon American products going into
Puerto Rico, when he knows that every
dollar of that duty Is paid over to the
people of that iskuitl for their benefit.
"And if this theory -which he has al
ways advocated, and which the Repub
licans have always claimed to be correct.
If the theory that the man who imports
pavs the dutj, then all of this tax upon
the products going to Puerto Rico from
the United States is paid by the people
of the United States. Jt is not therefore
the tax upon the people of Puerto Rico
that comsUCUtes Me real objection, but
because the fishermen' ot New England
and the spruce lumbermen of Maine want
to get their products .Into the ports of
Puerto Rico for 3$ per cent of the ex
isting tarfff on (roods -when imported into
the United States from foreign countries."
Lltttoheld listened to the speech, but
made no effort to answer. After discus
sion of the Mil, Tawney concluded as fol
low s:
"Imperialism. In the sense of despotic
rule, can never have a place In our Re
public except by the gain of the Republic
Itself and its extirpation of the American
Ideal. Against such imperialism Republi
canism is relentlessly at war. Conditions
that necessarily produce imperial despot
ism cannot and -never wU J .tejncated in

When the Senate convened today. Hale
(Rep. Me.) reported the diplomatic and
consular apprppriatlon bill and gave no
tice that early next week he would call It
up for consideration.
At the conclusion of the routine business
Penrose CRep. Pa.) called attention to the
proceedings of yesterday with reference
to the seating of Quay, and said he did
not desire to proceed with the case to
day. "I desire to notify the Senate, how
ever," he said, "that Monday I will call
up the resolutlonrand if no member rep
S
resenting the majority report of the elec
tions committee Is ready to speak, the
minority will proceed with the debate."
After the passage of a number of minor
bills, consideration of the Hawaiian kov-
ernment bill was resumed, the pending.
question being on the amendment of Piatt
Rep. Conn.), providing that the Presi
dent should appoint the Chief Justice and
Justices of the Supreme Court, and Jus
tices of the Circuit Court, and that
the Governor of the Territory should ap
point the other officers, the amendment
limiting the tenure of office of appointees
to four years. Piatt, in an extended
speech, supported his amendment, hold
ing that the provisions of the bill were
inconsistent -with those incorporated in
previous territorial enabling acts.
In a vehement speech Tillman (Dem. S.
C.) attacked the bill as reported to the
Senate, and -arraigned Morgan (Dem.
Ala.) for alleged lack of courtesy. Refer
ring 1q m Incident which occurred the
other day, in which Morgan declined to
yield to Tillman to reply to a statement
made by Wolcott (Rep. Colo.) concerning
the "suppressed vote" of South Caro
lina, Tillman said:
"I have felt indignant at the treatment I
received from the Senator (Morgan). Neer
In my experience In the Senate have I
been treated so discourteously by any mem
ber of the Senate." . .
Morgan endeavored to Interrupt Tillman,
but theUatter wjaved him asides-saying:
"I deeJine.ip yield to -the Senator. He
has put himself outside the pale" Si court
ed and consideration, bo" far as 1 am con
cerned." In the course of a criticism'of the meas
ure, Tillman said:
"I doh't. object tb a protection of the
whites of Hawaii, but what I do object
to is the hypocrisy of those In this cham
ber who maintain that the people of Ha
waii are to be treated differently from
those people who reside In Louisiana, Mis
sissippi, South Carolina and other South
ern S)ates. The whites of the Seuth are
patriotic Americans. I want you fe protect
the whites of- Hawaii, but don't try to
do it by hypocrisy."
Tillman then read a letter from a per
son unnamed who declared that a man
who dares to oppose the sugar barons in
Hawaii is In jeopardy of his life.
Clark (Rep. "Wyo.) arked for the name
of the writer of the letter, saying such
a charge ought not to be made lightly in
the Senate. Tillman declined to give the
writer's name. After expressing some
sympathy with the argument of Tillman,
Clark (Rep. Wyo:) said:
"When the Senator from .South Caro
lina charges Senators on the Republican
side of the chamber with hypocrisy, It
comes in very poor grace for him to de
clare by Almighty God that the negroes of
the South should not vote."
Tillman -Such a construction cannot, In
fairness, be put upon ray remarks.
Clark Will you say tjo this Senate that
you are not trying In th.e South to sup
press the negro vote?
Tillman (-with great vehemence) No, 1
will say that In South Carolina we have
done our level best to keep the nigger"
from voting.
Tillman gave notice of an amendment
substituting the suffrage provision of the
South Carolina Constitution for the suf
frage provisions of the pending bill.
Bills were passed as follows: To aid cer
tain States to support schools of mining:
for the appointment of an additional United
States Commissioner in Northern Judicial
dlstriet-of the -Indian Territory: granting
to the State of North Dakota 30,000 acres

Death, of Joseph Cowcn, n Famous
English Millionaire.
1JC-NDON, "Feb. 31. The death of Joseph
Cowen, fho coal -mine owner, member of
Parliament, a"Hd proprietor of the New
castle Chronicle,, has removed one of
the most remarkable figures In English life
anu one of the mof extraordinary men
in Europe. His whole life and personality
teemed with Vivid contrasts. He was a
millionaire, yet dressed in elouchy clothes,
and as brilliant an orator as ever held the
HoUseof Commons' breathless attention,
yet of smallt stature and awkward ga.lt,
arid he?pokfe with a Northumberland burr.
A supporter of 'Lord Beaconsfleld In his
schemes for Imperial expansion, yet Mr.
Cowen was the friend of every conspirator
from Moscow to Madrid, and financed rev
olutions from, his own pocket as readily J
as ether mHllonaires buy steam yachts.
At the risk of his life, and through bat
talions of spies, he carried Instructions to
agents in Italy from that arch-conspirator,
Mazzini. It was at Mr. Cowen's house
that 'Orsinl. who threw a bomb at the
carriage of Napoleon III, and was guil
lotined for so doing, spent weeks prior
to the perpetration of the deed. With such
an intensely democratic tendency, Mr.
Cowen was naturally a home-ruler, yet
none were more potent or often quoted In
articles furnished in favor of the present
war than the sentences penned by Mr.
Cowen shortly before his death, when Tie
declared that Great Britain was fighting
to "prevent men of British blood from
being treated as helots."
Many years ago he retired from, active
politics, owing to his Independent ideas,
devoting his attention to his paper. The
Newcastle Chronicle wielded as much po
litical influence in the north country as
Mr. "Cowen did when men pointed to him
in the House of Commons as the next

Jolm H, Toole, of Anaconda, Related
Particulars of tlie Campaign of
1S9S and the Capital Fight.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Senator Clark
and Maraus Daly, 'the rival millionaires
of Montana, faced each other during the
greater part of today id the Senate com
mittee on elections in the investigation
of Mr. Clark's election to the Senate of the
United States. Mr. Clark sat in Cho rear
of hJs attorneys, and Mr, Daly on the
opposite side of the room. sir. jjaiy wore
a pleasant smile throughout the day, and
Mr. Clark maintained an unruffled coun
tenance. It had been expected that Mr.
Daly would be called to the witness-stand
during the day, but he w as not. The day
was given up to J. R. Toole, a close friend
of Mr. Daly. Mr. Toole's testimony cov
ered tho Senatorial contest from the Daly
side of the question. He also related many
particulars concerning the Capital contest,
placing the total expenditure In behalf of
Anaconda in that contest at from $350,000
to $450,000. Hon. W. G. Conrad also testi
fied during the day1. Ho was a. candidate
for the enato in opposition to Mr. Clark.
He 'said that ho- had spent no money In
the Senatorial campaign proper.
At tho beginning of the session Attorney
General Nolan took the- witness-stand. He
read a letter he had written to Congress
man Campbell last fall, promising Immun
ity from prosecution to such as might tes
tify to bribery as go-betweens during the
session of the legislature. He "said in
the letter than he had conferred with the
Governor, and that in case of prosecution
and conyiction the Governor would exer
cise the pardoning power. Referring to
tho Whiteside exposure, Mr. Nolan said
the people- of Montana did not believe
there was any conspiracy.
"The air was full of evidence of
bribery," he sold. "You could cut It' with
a knife."
John R. Toole, of Anaconda, was next
called. He is regarded as a confidential
friend of Mr, Daly, and Is a member of
the Montana Legislature. He said he was
Interested In the Daly mines, and had slhce
June 1 last been under a, salary from
him In connection with their mining en
terprises. He also said he considered he
had Mr. Daly's confidence In political mat
ters, and knew the latter's plans. Not
withstanding this fact, he had, as a member-of
the Legislature, voted for Clark.
Indeed, he had never known Mr. Daly
to seek office or try to inlluence the course
of his friends. Last winter, 'when he had
told Mr. Daly that some members wanted
to cast their votes for him for the United
States- Senate, Mr, Daly had replied:
"I authorize you to say that I do not
want my name presented to the Legisla
ture for a vote, either complimentary or
otherwise."
Nor had ho ever known of Mr. Daly's
attempting to Influence or control any pri
mary or other election or State, County
or City convention.
Speaking of the campaign of 1S9S, Mr.
Toole sold he had been a member of -the
Executive Committee, that not to exceed
$10,000 was subscribed for the State cam
paign, and that the Clark people had
held no meetings out of Sliver Row
County. The general understanding then
was that the Clark movement was en
tirely in the Interest of Mr. Clark's candi
dacy for the Senate. Mr. Toole also said
Mr. Daly had no especial candidate for
the Senate, "being willing to accept tho
nominee of the Democratic caucus. Mr.
Daly's friends, howeer, opposed Mr.
Clark principally because of the charges
of bribery with which the air was filled
for a month before the meeting of the
Legislature. The witness said he had
never entered into a conspiracy to defeat
Mr. Clark for the Senate.
"When did jou first see the $30,000 used
by Mr. Whiteside in hla exposure?" he
was asked.
"I first saw It when the Legislative in
vestigation committee, of which I was a
member, met."
"Did you give any of that money or
know of any being given "by Mr. Daly
or any of his friends to defeat Mr. Cfark
for the Senate?"
"No, sir; I can't find words strong
enough for a proper denial of the imputa
tion. It's an outrage."
"Do jou know of any money being put
up by Mr. Daly or any of his friend.3 to
defeat Mr. Clark In any other connection?"
"I certainly do not."
Mr. Toolo related a conversation with
McLaughlin at the beginning of the Leg
islature In which ' MoLaughlln told him
he was going to vote for Mr. Clark, as it
"was a matter of bread and butter for
his family." He denied that there- was
any Daly or distinctively anti-Clark lobb5
4n Helena during the session of the Legis
lature. The friends of Conrad, Ma'ts and ethers
were lost," he said, "In the Clark lobby.
That Is all a pipedream."
If Mr. Conrad spent any money In the
Interest of his candidacy, he JToole) did
not know It. Mr. Daly had not, according
to .the witness, dreamed when the Legls.
lature met that Clark could 'be "elected.
"I neer saw feo strong an.. opposition
mowed down by money," he said.
On cross-examination, Mr. Faulkner
tried to draw out a concession from Mr.
Toole, to the effect that Mr. Daly closed
out tho boardlngnhouses' and stores not
supposed to be friendly to Mr. Daly. The
witness asserted, on the contrary, that
Mr. Daly had built a moaei boarding-house
on a large scale for his workmen, afford
ing hem better accommodations at low
rates than other places. It was, of
course, a- common thing for discharged
men to make charges against Mr, Daly.
Still. It was true that he was the friend
of the laboring men, standing often be
tween them and a reduction of wages.
Mr. Toole was questioned concerning the
contest over the location of the state cap
ital. He said he had been a member of
tho committee having In charge the inter
est of Anaconda In that contest. v
"I can only approximate the amount
speit," lie said, "and I don't know thai
I can come within $100,000 of the total
amount. I should say, however, that from
$ffi0,000to $450,000 was spent in the interests
of Anaconda. It must bo borne in mind,
however, that that cotest continued over
three or four years."
He .said that perhaps 75 per cent of the
total amount had been spent In the last
year of tue contest. une money was
raised by subscription, many citizens sub
scribing. Including Mr. Daly. He had
himself given one-fourth of his estate to
the cause.
Mr. Faulkner Did you not say after Mr.
Clark's election, that if you had had
$100,000 more you could have defeated him,
and that with $300,000 you could have elect
ed your man?
Mr. Toole I did not. We could have
beaten him with half the sum, because I
believe that with that much money it
would have been possible to have the Re
publicans who voted for Clark "go on mak
ing patriotic speeches and voting for men
In their own party.
JrTeOle(detailed the movement for his
namesake, 'ex-Governor Toole, for the
Senate, saying that after the Whiteside
exposure. Representative Day had copie
to hinv .saying- that he was sick of the
methods being pursued; that they were
shameful and rotten, and thatJf the Silver
Bow delegation would takeup Governor
Toole he would assist inbis election. He
prevailed upon the delegation to go to
Mr. Toole, but when this was done, the
ex-Governor refused to enter the race,
saying that the pressure from the Clark
forces was so strong that he could not
come in.
Hon. W. G. Conrad, who was Clark's
principal rival for the Senatpnship in 1S09,
was the next witness:
"Did you spend airy money to the State
campaign"" Mr Campbell asked.
"I did from $5000 to $10,000, giving it to
committees, etc"
"Did you jspend any In your effort to
.secure your- ejection to the Senate?"
"T did notspend to exceed HW in Helena
boyonti the 'amount of miy hotel bill."
- Continuing, Mr.-Conrad said that he had
-never been associated in any way with Mr.
Daly and only seven or eight of his
friends were in Helena during tho Sen
atorial campaign. He denied the state
ment of a former witness that he had
drawn. $50,000 from the American National
Bank of Helena, after the Whiteside ex
posure. He also said he had not con
tributed any part of the $30,000 used by
Whiteside. He had his bank checks and
stiibs for the past 32 years and was will
ing the committee should Inspect them.
Mr. Conrad said there were SO votes
pledged to him in the Legislature.- but he
failed to receive 10 of the votes so pledged. '
une committee then adjourned.

WHAT MEAN THE CARVINGS?
Indinn Monument on Exhibition Af
fording: "Wide Field for Conjecture.
In front o the City Hall yesterday was
a huge block of basalt, decorated; with
Indian carvings. It was found by Dr.
Grant and Colonel L. L. Hawkins ahout
a year ago, near the cannery of Seufert
Bros., above The Dalles. When first seen,
about nine Inches of it was exposed above
the ground. The two gentlemen imme
dlately procured shovels and dug all
around It until the carvings could all be
seen. Colonel Hawkins' next move was
to announce that the prize was destined
for tho Portland City Museum, and that
he should see that it got here.
Nothing was done about the matter until
a little over three months aco. when Mr.
".Hawkins went to tly- place again to ' see
uiie consteiiu-uun ui ueuu. xxe luicuutu
bringing the rock back with h m, but on
the promise of F. At Seufert, whom he
was visiting, to send it to him, he left
without it. Shortly after this an Eastern
scientist appeared upon the scene and cast
an envious eye on that relic of ancient
times. Colonel Hawkins, on finding this
out, opened up a redhot correspondence,
with the result that Mr. Seufert sent the
much-coveted stone yesterday.
The piece of basalt is well worth the
trouble of getting it. The face upon
which are the hieroglyphics Is about two
feet In width and four In length. The
height of the rock is about the same as
tho width. On the carved side is a rude
face, with eyes and nose, and an open
mouth filled with teeth clearly shown. The
eyes are very large, and also close to the
mouth, which caused an admiring scientist
to jokingly remark it must have como
from the Flathead race.
On one side of the face Is a series of
uniform carvings, In the way of a hole
In the center, surrounded by a perfect
circle of .holes, all the same size. On the
other side is a hieroglyphic In the shape
of two ovals one within another. Nearly
the whole distance around the relic are
deeply-cut notches, which are said to
mark the space of time. On the part of
the rock exposed, there is a covering of
old moss, which has led a student of na
tural history, who was examining It, to
express his opinion that it was thousands
of years old.
The hieroglyphics have not, as yet. been
read. Dr. Grant, who has studied con
siderably in this line, thinks that the
work has something to do with the legend
of the bridge of rocks said to have been
where this memorial of. Indian times was
found. The redmen thought that the wom
an should be on ono side -and the man
on the other. The Doctor says he can
give authority that the carvings of the
circular holes represent woman, while
the ovals were given by the same tribe
to represent man.
None of tho other scientists that have
seen the rocks would venture an opinion

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Yonng Dentist Sliot the "Wife of the
Man Who Befriended Him.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24. Mrs, E. P.
Hayes,, the wife of Dr. E. P. Hayes, p
dentist, formerly of Chicago, but now
with offices at the Hotel Endlcott, in
West Thirty-First street, was shot and
killed tonight in her apartments in that
hotel by Dr. Frank D. CaldwcTl, an as
sistant of Dr. Hayes. Caldwell then shot
and killed himself. Nothing was found
that gave .any Idea as to the cause of
the shooting, so far as Is known.
Persons who knew the Hayes couple
and Caldwell say that Dr. Hayes had for
years befriended Caldwell, and had given
him an -opportunity to advance in his pro
fession; in fact, had considered him al
most as one of his own family. 'Asa re
sult of this treatment, Caldwell became
enamored of Mrs. Hayes, and, it seems,
after many repulses, decided that if he
could-' not possess the woman he would
take her out of the world with him.

"It has been my privilege to advise
a number of my friends concerning the
best medicine In cases of a worn-out
system and a broken down constltu

often advised it, and am glad to'speak

feeling that comes from companionship in
a common danger with many of his fel

and fearless animal the most fearless of
all the animal species simply remains
true to his birthright -and goes through
the ordeal in the natural way.
What ca"n be the deduction? There Is
only one. It is that Dottle gallantry and
battle brutality, springing as they botn
do from the same source, must necessa

of a bloodhound and stop him half way

'COMMERCIAL CHINA.
Studies, of Conditions in the Orient
Made by Western nt!ons.
WASHINGTON,, Feb. 20. The proposi
tion for the appointment of a commission
to study the commercial conditions in
China and Japan, embodied in sundry
bills now before Congress, Is along lines
similar u n ose already adopted by sev
eral of the active commercial nations of
Europe. The document recently Issued by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics-, "Com
mercial China in 18S9," shoTVsithat experi
ments made by other nations In sending
commissions to the Orient have been very
satisfactory. The British commission, or
"Commercial Mission," as It .was called,

China alone, devoting eight months to a
trip from Shanghai up. the Yangtze River

to have become more profitable to Eng

profiting by this example, have-, also
omitted to give to the general public the

1S99, after 15 months' study of China, and
other Eastern Asiatic countries. This
German commission was especially thor

they visited, and creating from them an
exhibit which is only open to those per

the report are only published for pri

Not only is it a valuable medicine but
it la applicable to the climatic ailments of
