CO VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 6. 1896 NO ISO. WANTS INFORMATION Morgan bpeaks Concerning the Competitor Case. C0NDENNS CLEVELAND'S APATHY President Should Bestir Hlaaelf to Sare the I'rlsuner Jumico Ku Jfot Given Them. Washington, Jane 5. Amendments to the joint resolution for reorganization of the Northern Pacific were offered by Mitchell and Nelson, providing that the new company shall be liable on the land treaties of the old company and also for injuries to persons and property. Morgan asked for action on his resolu tion requesting the president for infor mation aa to the capture of the Com petitor by the Spanish warship and the condemnation to death of United States citizens, whether any demand has been made for the release of the citizens. The senator said, that while the case was one of great gravity, involving the unwarranted condemnation to death of American citizens, yet no information except through the press reports and rumors had been received. The executive branch had not given the slightest information on the subject. Morgan read the statutes requiring the president to make a demand for the re lease of American citizens. He argued that it was the duty of the president nndter the constitution to keep congress advised on the state offae Union and in particular on foreign affairs. Of late a courteous custom had arisen to adopt resolutions making the requests on the president for information, but this did not relieve the president from thu duty of giving full information, and it was only of late that this failure of the ex ecunve to give information to congress had grown. Some question was raised by Sherman as to the propriety of Morgan making public use of the testimony of Lawrence before the committee on foreign rela tions. The Alabama senator sharply rejoiced that" therevshould be no such concealment of facts from the country. Morgan eaid the testimony of Law rence, who was present at the Com petitor'a trial at Havana, showed the grossly irregular character of the pro ceedings. "And yet," declared the senator, "the president has paid no more attention to the subject than if it had been the laughter of some poor negro or mulatto in the Cuban-army." Morgan said he did not want commit ted to the president the sole authority to demand or withhold the demand for the release of American citizens, and to recognize or withhold recognition of bel ligerency. Mills reminded Morgan that the testimony had shown that the Amer icans on trial at Havana had not under, stood any proceedings, which were o ducted in Spanish. "Yes," Morgan continued, that testi mony of Mr. Lawrence shows the entire trial was in the Spanish language. When the American prisoner was told to stand up he said : 'I do not under stand what you have been saying. How am' I to answer you?' A brief explana tion was made. Then sentence was pronounced on that American citizen." The senator, said that occasional groans and shrieks were heard from the strick en country, telling of the terrible butch ery going on there. , He had received letters from Cuba, some with the seal broken, detailing the conditions prevalent there. Before the senate adjourned it should know from the president what the situation there is, and whether American citizens are to meet death without a demand. Morgan said he had great respect for the-office of president. It was an Ameri can characteristic to be proud of-the gov ernment. Hut this was a government of law, not of provisional will. The pre cident is enjoined to execute the law The senate had requested information of the president and he replied that it was incompatible with public interest, al tnougti section ZUUl of the statutes pro vided than when a demand was made for the release of Americana, "All facts relative thereto as soon as practicable must be communicated by the president to congress." The senator declared that every day of the confinement of the American prisoners at Havana was a day of dis honor. He did not know what would come of the delay and inaction. Possi bly in the end the Americans would be so humbled as to sue to Spain for par don. But congress, which was the sole war power, should not leave without authorizing that that power be nsed if necessary. "In the event these American prison ers are hot released and delivered to the president," concluded Morgan, we should authorize him to Eend ships of war to Cuba and make war sufficient to secure their release." As Morgan closed, Sherman stated the proceedings were of such a character as to be within senate rule 35, requiring secrecy. J hereupon the presiding officer, Piatt, directed the galleries to be cleared and the doorscloeed. ENGLISH COMMENT. America Will Not Change to the Silver Standard. London, June 5. Discussing Ameri can prices the Times says : Whatever may be said at the conven tions, it will probably be found that solid material interests will suffice to prevent a sweeping change. Under a silver regioce American securities would be worth just about haif their face value. The Kentucky and Kansas silverites, demanding a ratio of 16 to 1, should really be thanked for coming into the open with proposals about which there is none of the fascinating ambiguity of a straddle. A Compromise Proposed. Washington, June 5. A proposed compromise has been offered in the con ference ou the sectarian school amend ment of the Indian appropriation bill. It provides that the appropriation for such echools shall extend to the next fiscal year, instead of the next two nscal years. It is thought the senate will accept the compromise. In the house the question is doubtful. Repre sentatives Linton and Hainer, who led the fight against the appropriation for sectarian purposes, both declare such a compromise cannot be accepted. The Second District. Baker City, June 5. Fourteen pre cincts out of 23 in Grant county give: For congress Ellis, 450 ; Quinn, 258 ; Bennett, 231 ; Northup, 116, McKercher, 11. The precincts yet to come in do not usually poll a large vote, and the result cannot bo meterially changed. ' Ho to Core Hheumatlam. Arago, Coos Co., Oregon, Nov. 10, 1893.

Gutfeld of Reed ley, Fresno eounty, Calif., as they handle the rem edy referred to and want their custodiers to know what a splended medicine it is : "It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by one day's nee of Chamberlain's Cough remedy I was relieved of a very bad cold. My head was completely stopped up and I could not sleep at night. I can recommend this remedy." A cold nearly always starts in the head and afterwards extends to the throat and lunirs. Bv using this remedy freelv as soon aa the cold has been contracted it will cure the cold at once and prevent it from extend ing to the lungs.

Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approach ing Consumption, tried without result everything elee then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is uaturallv thank ful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and colde.
