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. '

Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. 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.
Two X.1tos Saved,
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City
III. was told by her doctors she had
Consumption and that there was no hope
for 'her, but two bottles of Dr. King's
New Discovery completely cured her
and she says it saved her life. 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
