GITATION'S PURUOSE IS TO UNHORSE TEDDY Oarmack Presents New Phase 0 Brownsville Affair-Compliments Part of Tilman's Speech. Washington, Jan. 16.-Senate lead ers tonight regard the end of th Brownsville discussion in sight aw it is confidently expeeted that befor the close of the week the compromis esolution offored by Senator Forake ust before the close of today's ses ion, will be adopted. Mr. Forake as the floor to make what lie toda, pressed the hope would be his con ding speech on the subject. Wheth he speaks tomorrow or Friday it i peeted that a vote will son fillow .ir. Foraker today offered a substi te for all of his previous resoli ns on the Brownsville affair as fol s: ' Resolved, That the committee oi itary affairs is hereby authorizei directed by subcommittee, o Irwise, to make and have printe4 testimony for the purpose of as aining all the facts with refei to or connected with the affra; rownsville, Texas, on the nigh 'August 13, 1906. Said committe thorized to send for persons an ers, to administer oathgi durin session of the senate, and I *ed adviable at Brownsville o hre, the expense of the investi ii to be paid out of the contii fund of the senate.'' language of this provision i ctory to Senator Lodge an suporters of the administratior 'feature of the debate toda; e arraignment by Senator Cai of Rlepublican senators wh1 ,criticised the presidefit for hi in the Brownsville matter. 11 'ded it as an attempt to ''de the president as the leade e party, and declared that eithe resident must be renominated o platform on which lie stood re ed to the Democrats. enators Stone, Money and Kno: owed, each upholding the authoi of the president to take the actioi did, and asking an investigatio the facts connected with th rowinsville affair. Carmack Supports Teddy. Senator Carmack, in his speech, an nounced that lie heartily supporte the president in his action in diF charging the negro soldiers. The ae tion of the legislature of his stat t6kizig'the same position, met his pe sonal views. Mr. Carmack then paid his respect to the president as follows: 'I think it proper to say that ai report that senators may have hear that the presirent personally solicite< my suipport in this matter, that hi urged me to forgive and forget ce tail personal remarks and begged i to stand between him and those twi1 eneilies ol, his adminisration, thl senators fromi South (Carolinia am 'Ohio, is a gross exaggerat ion. I wil not say thamt it is anu infamious fahse iood, hieeauisei such language belong to the v'ocahualriy of presiddnmtial con troversary rather than that of sena torial debate. ''Nor is it true, as senators ma: anve heard, that I have beeni move< oundert ake the presidenit 's defPens cea use of. my dev'ot ion to the man. ave great admiration to that strong~ rave, large minded gentleman, th cretary oft warii.

Roosevelt's Misfortune. S''So -far as the negro~ race is con cerned the only charge that can b justly made against the presidenti .that lie has loved the negro not wvisel but too well. Tlhecre is something Pa thetic in the president's plaintive re cital of all that lhe has (101e and at tempted for the negro race. Yet, thmer is no man iln this country today, noi even the senator from South Carolina who is so universally and so bitterl: hated by the negroes as the man wh< abolished the Indianola postoffice and lied with Booker Washington. All hat he has done for the negro, all the idences of friendship he has showr the past, have been utterly forgot simply because he has not showri t sympathy with the criminal neg which pervades the Ilegro popula of this country from 0one end of it he other.'' e then turned his attention to tor Foraker, saying:. I can renmember with what frantie 'energy he used to wave the bloody .shirt-a shirt dittl with the crimson current of-his own rhietorie, rOmei or lieow ie used to go raging over the lan11d, a1 inturiated, peripatetic volcano in perpetual eruption, belch ing fire and smoke and inelted lava - from his -agonized and tumultuous 3 bowels. I can remember how in pub I lie speeches he spattered the gall of o his bitterness upon the South until I e came to think that the senator wished r all the Wlito people of the South, - men, women, children and babes at r the breast, had a single neck, that he' might sever it at a blow. I would not - have to go back 40 years or mqke - any inquiry into the senator's pedi s gree by such evidence that the sena tor from Ohio is the last man to sit - in judgmentoin a case of murder where - a negro was the niurderer and a - Southern white man was his victim. 'But I will not do the senator such gross injustice as to judge his heart by the testimony of his own mouth; r and wlien my Southern friends ask me if the senator from Ohio Is really ~ as rabid and as bitted as lie seems, I tell them no--his ferocity is purely oratoric; it is simply the lingering force of a tayranical habit w1hich con tinued to have some power over the tongue long after it. had been expelled from the heart.'' Estimate of Tillman's Speech. r Paying his compliments to Senator - Tillmanl Mr. Carmack: ''The sena tor's speech was powerfiil, it. was pic s turesque; it was of good and strik a ing points, but it seemed to me that . his promises were upon one side of y the earti and his conclusions upon tle other, with no bridge between. If there is anything that appears plainly s to my mind from tlat speech, it is e that those soldiers ought to have been diseliarged from i le army a long time r ago, and that tie president deserves r criticism, not for doing it now, but r for liaving delayed it so long.'' Mr. Carnack then gave what he re garded as the real purpose of the agi K tatioin-ani attempt to un1ihiorse Mr. Roosovelt as the Republica'n leader. S Decharing this to be ''tie begin a ning of the fight to break the power e of the only leader ii tlie Republican party who ever arrayed himself against the enemies of the peol)le,'' he said: ''It is an effort to put. the i party back into its old position, to re new its old alliances and renew its covenant with tihe plunderers and op e pressors of the American people.'" And he declared it would succeed. "All the resources of the gentleman a in the Wliite House can not stay the inevitable. He has attempted the im V possible task of recreatin-t- the Re 1 plican party. You may w1hitewash 1 tle Ethiopian and unspot tle leonpard, e but yoll cnnnot make the oue a Cau - ensian or the otfher a lamb. There is e a force as persisteit and compeIillinQ 1 as hIle law of oravit,atioll that will e pulli the Republican paty. back into I thle post ion from which bmy main I st renigth and awkwardness the presi - (lent has lifted it. - s lie declare 1tha1it sent imnit, I hat thle - president had helped to arouse watanst - the plutocracy wvill bring millam,s of votes to ranks of thme Demiocra t e par' v' Iv and said that ''if President Roose 'velt himself chooses to come lie will find there ample opport unity to exer cise and in fluence for' thle welfta re of ' thle people and also learn some res 3 pet for thle law aind thle coinstit ution. Seantor Stoiie said lie was aware t that, there was a disposition among Decmocratie members of thle senate to vote ag'ainst the resolutions, Hie at first was ini sympiahity withI that, but11 adde(d there was a family fend among ,the Republicans, and lie saw no good reason01 \vhiy Ithe Democrats should sumothor thle fire or bu rn thiri fini t ers 1y pulling out h.ot censtnuut s for the Republicans. ''Let Ithe fiun go on,'' lie conimded. 1 Senattor Money said that if by leg islat ion this battalion should be re stoired, as lie had lionrd it int ended,, to the army it wvould he the duly of the p 1residlent to dlismiss it instanit ly if lie Sstill hlcd to his preso-nit opinion as to its guilt. HIe confined his discussion of the subject to the qiuest ion of the president 's authority, whuich lie main -tained was ample. Senator Forakeir said hie was not aware there were to beC oIlher speeches on the resolution and lie desired to close this debate. By his resohutioni simply an inves tigation of the facts was to be0 made. The scope of his resolution w'as not such as to bring into the investiga tion questions of the president 's pow er. Hloweveir, he said, lhe wvas not par tiepular about language. He would ac cept any language. H-e wvas more con cerned about securing an opportunity for the men charged wvithi crime to1 be heardl.
