FILIBUSTERING 18 CHECKED President Leaves the Matter Entirely to Congress, WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY Message States Tltat, Althongb Great SacrlficeK May Be Necessary, the Panama Water-tray Would In calculably Benefit Colombia. "WASHINGTON, June 27. The State Department has received a dispatch from Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, saying the canal discussion has been opened in the Colombian House by a Representative op posed to the canal treaty who began by calling for the documents relating to the. treaty. The government objected on the ground that It was not ready to present the treaty to the House, but would do so later. The government's position was sustained by a vote of 3S to 5. The extra session of Congress for the discussion of the ratification of the canal treaty convened on June 20. Joaquin "Velfz Is president of the Senate, and Jose Medina Calderon president of the Cham ber of Deputies. The following appears in the message of the President respecting the canal treaty: "To my government has been presented this dilemma: Either it lets our sover eignty suffer detriment, or renounces cer tain pecuniary advantages to which, ac cording to the opinion of many, we have a right. In the first case, to consent to the sacrifice of our sovereignty, and not aspiring to a great idemnlflcatlon the Just wishes of the Inhabitants of Panama a large portion of Colombia would be satis fied If the canal were opened, but the gov ernment would be exposedto the charge afterwards that it did not defend our sov ereignty and the Interests of the nation. "In trie second case, If the canal Is not opened across Panama the government will be accused of not having allowed Co lombia that benefit which is regarded a9 the commencementof our aggrandizement. I have .already allowed my wish to be understood, that the canal should be opened through our territory- I believe that even at such cost of sacrifices we ought not to put obstacles In the way of such a great undertaking, because it is an Immensely beneficial enterprise for the country, and also because, once the canal is opened by the United States, our relations will become more Intimate and extensive, while our Industry, commerce and wealth will gain Incalculably. "I leave the full responsibility for the decision of this matter for Congress. I do not Intend to make my opinion weigh when I have given instructions to our representative at "Washington; it has been coupled with the order that the decision of this Important matter must be left for Qongress. After years. In which the question has been treated In a vague way, without precise conditions. It Is now pre sented In a way to obtain practical and positive results. It has been our Indis putable triumph that the Senate and the Government of the United States should declare, notwithstanding every effort to the contrary, the superiprlty of the Colom bian route."

"When Emperor "Wil liam was congratulated today at the launching of the German armored cruiser Roon, on his yacht Meteor winning the American cup yesterday, ho replied: "The American skippers brought me luck. I would not have won It if they had not been with me." The Roon Is .the 11th of Germany's ar mored cruisers. She was christened by Countess von "Waldersoe. Rear-Admiral Cotton, the Captains of the American warships and the members of the United States Embassy were In the Emperor's party. The American squadron saluted the new cruiser. Emperor "William and Prince Henry of Prussia took breakfast with Admiral Coi ton on board the Kearsarge today. In the party also were the German Admirals, Ambassador Tower, Mr. Meyer, American Ambassador to Italy; Chancellor von Bu low, Admiral von Tlrpltz, the principal members of the Emperor's household, all the members of the United States Em bassy, all tho captains and executive of ficers of the American ships and Admiral Cotton's staff, Cornelius Vanderbllt, R. W. Goelet, J. H. Smith. James Lawrence and Edmund Baylies. Admiral Cotton thanked the Emperor for the cordial manner In which the squadron had been received. Four groups of small yachts. In a light air, started today on a race over a 15-mlle course. Admiral Cotton referred to the hospital ity that had been shown to the Americans in Gernfan waters. He said that since he had met the Emperor he understood why his subjects, were so devoted to him. The feeling of the Admiral and his men was that wherever His Majesty led the Germans would follow. The Admiral then proposed the health of the Emperor. Replying. Emperor "William said he hoped, whatever Impressions the Admiral and his officers had received they had been no more than they expected. Eight years had elapsed since the Imperial en sign was first flown from an American warship, the New York. He remem bered the agreeable Incidents of that visit, and now he was to add these to the things that were not forgotten. The only thing was that the visits were too far apart. He was convinced that whenever the Stars and Stripes and the Royal standard met they should together symbolize peace and civilization. The Emperor then called for three cheers for the President and people of the United States. At the conclusion of the breakfast the Emperor Informed Ambassador Tower that he wished to give a medal to each of the three marines who stood behind his chair. "Would there be any impropriety, your excellency. In my doing so?" said the Em peror. "I am sorry to say that our regulations do not permit It." replied Mr. Tower. "Then," said the Emperor, "I would like to give them watches. Just as souvenirs." "That, elr," answered the Ambassador, "Is also impossible. They; equally with myself, are servants of the" country, and could not accept. "I cannot even give them a pencil?" con tinued the Emperor. "No. Your Majesty." said Mr. Tower. "Then," said Emperor William. "I will tell them that I have the disposition to do so." . Admiral Cotton, after the Emperor left the ship, told the three marines. In the presence of the officers of the ship, what the Emperor had said. ALL CREDIT DUE ROOSEVELT. Germnn Press Says the Friendship of the Americans Is a Xcvr Things BERLIN, June 27. The newspapers of Berlin print the speeches of Emperor William and Ambassador Tower at the. Kiel banquet last night mostly without comment. The National Zeltung regards them as important demonstrations for the promotion of German-American relations. The Tageblatt thinks the speeches breathe cordiality, sympathy and restored confi dence, but the paper reverts to the Cogh lan and Dewey Incidents to show that tho "friendly spirit of the American Navy for Germany" is a new thing, and Is due to President Ttoosevelfs energetic enter prise. The Tageblatt also says it con- siders It singular that Ambassador Tower mentioned the Emperor s gift of plaster casts to Harvard without alluding to the statue of Frederick the Great. The Kreuz Zeltung prints a letter from Kiel which describes the American sail ors as "young, slender, sinewy fellows, with intelligent faces, but in appearance and bearing exhibiting a carelessness un known among us. The writer of the letter adds: "They are not careful In giving and returning military salutes, even toward their own superiors. Their behavior would cause a Prussian Corporal's hair to stand on end."

London Press So Interprets Speeches of Chamberlain and Balfour. LONDON, June 27. All the morning papers make Colonial Secretary Cham berlain's and Premier Balfour's speeches at the Constitutional Club the subject of leading articles which follow party lines. The most noticeable feature of the oc casion is acknowledged to have been the announced harmony between the two Cabinet Ministers on the questions which many expect win prove tne rock on which the Unionist party will remain di vided. The Colonial Secretary's careful statement that Mr. Balfour's leadership Is essential to union and the success of the Unionist party, followed later by the statement that a system of preferential tariffs Is the only system by which the empire can be kept together,' is taken to mean that there can no longer remain any doubt that the Premier and the i Colonial Secretary have agreed on the tuture policy. The opposition -papers re joice, asserting that the difference which Is known to exist inside the Cabinet ranks, coupled with the opposition of the working people in the country, must bring defeat to the advocates of Mr. Chamber lain's policy when a general election takes place.

CABINET AT CRISIS France Is Badly Disrupted by Religious Bill. SENATE DOWNS G0VRNMENT Premier Combes and ex-Premier Waldeck-Roasseaa Engage in a Spirited Debate on Ending of Congregational Schools. PARIS. June 27. In the Senate'today the debate on the government project requir ing communities to build schools In place of those of "the religious congregations brouirht out a divergence of views from Prefnler Combes and ex-Premier Waldeck- Rousseau. the litter re-entering the de bates for the first time in months. M. Combes supported the law, and M. Wal-deck-Rousseau, who followed, pointed out the enormous cost Involved, nearly S2o,ow,- 000. and urged caution, lest the benefits of the law of 1S01 be checked. The faenate decided to discuss the law In detail, thus constituting a partial check to the gov ernment plan to limit the discussion of the measure as a whole. The .reappearance of M. Waldeck-Rous- seau aroused intense Interest, and his op position to the policy of his successor a3 president of the Council created a dis tinct sensation. His speech, Immediately following that of Premier Combes, em phasized the divergence of the opinions of tho present and ex-Premier, and, as If to give approval to M. Waldeck-Rousseau'3 view, the Senate voted in support of his contention. This, following the narrow governmentmajorlty In the Chamber yes terday, led to much excited comment re gardlng the permanency of the Combes Cabinet. The President df the Council in his speech gave no evidence of any Intention to retire, but stated that the. Minister did not Intend to permit minor reverses to precipitate a Cabinet crisis. M. Waldeck-Rousseau s opposition as sumed added significance because of its being made on the eve of the Summer ad. Journment of Parliament, the present ses sion of which only remains to M. Combes to secure the passage of the remainder of the measures making up the general pol icy of the government. In connection with the disbanding of the congregations. three important measures are still before the Senate: First, providing for the nonauthorlza- tlon of female orders; second, forbidding ex-members of congregations to teach during a period of three years, and, third. providing that lay schools shall take the place of those under control of congrega tions which have been closed. The last mentioned was the subject of today's debate. The Premier, In his speech, supported strongly the necessity for lay schools, and denied the claims that the establishment of such schools would Involve enormous cost. He com plained that whenever It was sought to carry out the school law, the opposition organized riots and disorders, and finally declared himself strong In the confidence that the country and the law were be hind him. M. "Waldeck-Rousseau spoke with much vehemence. Referring to the law of 1901, he said that measure had precise and def inite objects, but this fact seemed to have been entirely lost sight of, in proof of which he asserted that the Government -was trying to obtain results which the law never contemplated. It was Impos sible, he said, to carry out In a few months a law passed after 30 years' ef fort, affecting thousands of persons. "I do not blame the energy of partisans whose policy Is all or nothing," he con tinued, "but what is needed Is the appli cation of the law, not less firm, but more patiently and more moderately. We did not hold that we settled by the legislation of 1S01 all "the difficulties arising in an old country like France from the relations between the states and religious fac tions." Speaking to M. Combes, the ex-Premier said: "If you want the country to follow you. you must Justify decrees against religions by regularly voted laws. I have protested too strongly -against secret court-martials to approve the secrecy of your proced ure. The latter remark is taken to refer to the plan to secure the adoption of the measure as a whole, without discussion in detail. The Senate passed three sections of the measure, and the debate was then post poned until Tuesday. TRAIN THROWN FROM TRACK. One Hundred Spaniards Are Injured In a Railway Accident. MADRID, June 27.

(Continued from First Page.) slon he said that there was absolutely no crime proven, and that In his opinion the accused could not be held. Final Pleas of Lawyers. F. P. Mays, who also appeared for the defense, said that If a crime had -been committed against the Government, it was by the homestead entrymen and their witnesses, who had given assumed names in each of the six final proofs In question. and thus imposed on Miss Ware, who, he declared, was their innocent victim. Pos itively nothing had been developed which connected Mr. McKlnley with the fraud in even the most remote degree. He de clared that the Government's efforts had failed absolutely, and that nothing re mained but to discharge the defendants. Mr. Hall closed for the Government in . a. forcible and dramatic speech, which oc cupled a quarter of an hour. He said the case in question was a conspiracy to se cure valuable timber lands for specula tive purposes by covering them up with alleged homestead entries. The lands not only were not subject to homestead, but the men purporting to make such entries had no existence, and were the fictions of McKlnley. and that Miss Ware execut ed fraudulent proof papers, .forged the names of claimants and witnesses and acknowledged the same, all at the dicta tlon of McKlnley. r At ons point In his speech Judge O'Day interrupted to ask if the intention of the Government was not to- give the public domain to settlers. "Yes, the Govern ment is willing and ready to. give it away." retorted air. uau, oui nui w timber thieves. Not to men like McKln ley. who seek to acquire it by fraud and sell It to other speculators." Commissioner Sl'aden Decides. At the close of Mr. Hall's speech. Com missioner Sladen rendered his decision. which was as follows: Gentlemen I am thoroguhly convinced from the evidence before us here that a crime naa been committed aralnst the Government in ac quiring title to these land. This Is shown by the evidence of Mr. Veatcb, the lores, ranger. who has resided In the vicinity of the lands for 40 years ar.l has been over them weekly for the four Summers past: by the liveryman from Cottage Grove, who has resided there for 50 years; by Mr. Lurch, the merchant, by Frank Mclntyre, by Mr. Jennings, by all the witnesses who have lived where these entry men are said to iave lived. They testify that they never saw nor heard of. any one of these persons and that no such Improvements exist on the land as are described In the final proofs. They aiso swear that the topography of the country Is such that no such Improve ments could possibly have been made. There, Is no doubt In my mind that fraud has been committed. I canno. but think from the evidence that Horace G. McKlnley Is connected with that fraud. The evidence of his connection wua the deeds which have been nut in evidence 13 of such a character as to convince me that he must have had guilty knowledge of the at tcmnted frud unon the Government in these land transactions, and I therefore feel that I must hold him to appear before tne grana Jury. I regret to ear that I must also noia iiiss Ware. Her youth and inexperience convince me. however, that she could not have origin ated the fraud In the case, which have been presented to the court.

Clyde Lloyd- Mr. Wesco's examination had to ao en tirely with expert testimony as to the signatures on homestead applications and proofs, and certain interlineations in a deed offered in evidence. He was shown the signature of Robert Simnson attached to the deed to a tract of land transferred to Edwin Hotoson, alone with the writing of Horace G. Mo Klnley, Miss Marie Ware and Clyde Lloyd, and asked to give his opinion as to who made certiln Interlineations. Mr. "Wesco, after an examination that lasted several minutes, said that the interline, atlons appeared to be those of McKlnley. On examining the reputed homestead ap plication of James E. Warwick, wltn Droofs and affidavits attached, Mr. Wesco gave It as his opinion that Miss Ware had signed tho names purporting to be those of the applicant and witnesses. The same was the case with all the applications and other papers submitted for examina tion. The signatures all appeared to him to have been written by Miss Ware. Only In one Instance was Mr. Wesco not sure as to tho Identity of the signature, and that was with relation to that of Georxe E. Thompson. As for the others, Tupman, Warwick, Carlson, Heme and Watklns, he was mor ally sure, from the standpoint of an ex pert offering expert testimony, that the writing, was that of Miss Ware. It was evident, Mr. Wesco said, from the slml larlty noticeable between several letters, denoting In appreciable measure a same ness of movement In fashioning the let tens. Guy Huff, a distinguished bartender, of Eugene, who wears white socks and has all the hall marks of a village cut-up, was next called. The prosecution couldn't do much with Mr. Huff, and Attqrney Hall seemed glad to let loose, although he was a Government witness. The- defense showed him marked consideration, h6w ever, and questioned him not at all. His testimony had something to do with the signing of names to homestead appllca tlons. but he denied signing any but his own. He asserted that he and Mr. Mc Klnley had not fallen out, and that there fore Mr. McKlnley had done no wrong so far as he knew. Clyde Lloyd, who picked up- the hot end and shows some animus toward Miss Ware and McKlnley, was recalled for a short time and testified further concern ing the relations of himself and McKln ley. With his testimony the Government rested its case, and an adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock. The action of Commissioner Sladen is regarded as a great victory for Special Inspector Greene and United States At torney Hall. Mr. Greene has worked for months In unearthing land frauds In Ore gon, and to his ceaseless and untiring ef forts the commitment of Miss Ware and McKlnley is largely due, as the evidence against them was secured by him. The case was admirably conducted by Mr, Hall, and his reputation as a prosecutor has been greatly enhanced by this victory. He feels well satisfied with the result, and is confident that the defendants will be indicted by the grand Jury. Both Miss Ware and Mr. McKlnley re fuse to discuss the situation, but their attorneys seem sanguine of establishing their Innocence, should the case go to the Federal Court. The matter will come before the grand Jury early In October, and, should a true bill be returned against the defendants. the case will be tried before Judge Bel linger and the petit Jury. In the mean time, the principals will be at liberty un der their bonds. The Federal officers are greatly elated over the advantage gained, as this state. according to their statements, Is a hotbed of land fraud and corruption, and the fate of Miss Ware and Mr. McKlnley will have a wholesome effect on other speculators.
