DOINGS IN CONGRESS
dscussion In the 5cnate on the
Treaty Question.
Tillman Speaks Plainly. (
After almost allowing the amend- ;
tent to the urgent deficiency approbation
bill providing for a loan of
1,600,000 to the St. Louis Exposition to ;
a through without any discussion
t.?a At- - (?/??? ?
natever, me ccnaic *yaiucouaj
langed Its tactics just as the vote ;
as about to be taken and entered ;
[>on a debate on the loan provision. 1
bich continued for about four hours,
id which was still in progress when
;e Senate adjourned for the day. The
jbate was precipitated by a point of ,
der made against the amendment by
r. Bailey, who supported his point 1
ith a speech based on the theory- that
le national government was not, a3 i
ich, conce. ned with the success or <
ilure of any exposition. He was sup. i
)rted by Mr. Lodge and Mr. Elkins, <
'"ile speeches were made in support ]
the amendment by Messrs. Hale, i
llison, Cockrell. Spooner, McComas 1
t/1 |
Mr. Tillman said he wanted to say !
mething on this "loan or gift." the <
tter he thought, as it was not likely
iat the government would ever get
lything back. In the course of his
marks he said South Carolina had
id a share of the steal that had
en secured by other cities and he had J
'lped to get it. What he meant was <
at this expenditure of money was j
ilawful and unconstitutional.
Mr. Spooner remarked that the Sen. 1
or from South Carolina had put him- 1
If on record as participating in a t
eal. ,
"What I mean." declared Mr. Tillan.
"is that when Congress takes ;
cney from the people and gives it '
vay for expositions it amounts to a 1
eal. What I want to know is how '
r we are to go and how much longer
r are to participate in"?
Here Mr. Tillman hesitated.
"Steals." interjected Mr. Spooner.
"Yes, steal," said Mr. Tillman, de
intly.
Mr. Bacon said that as he intended (
vote for the amendment he did not ^
int the impression to go out that he .
is in the wrong. He thought the apopriation
a proper one. In reply to !
question from Mr. Bailey he said 1
at abstractly he did not endorse the 1
inciple, and that if the practice of
ving aid to expositions was now beg
initiated he would oppose the prae- j
e. But in view of what had been l
i ? noel Ka ?t Tint
t of place Io make the appropriation.
The Senate chamber was again the
ena of an interesting political de- ,
te with the provision in the urgent j
fieicney appropriation bill for a
m of $4,600,000 for the St Louis
cposition the basis for the discus- 1
in. <
The controversy was precipitated by
r. Lodge, who quoted many official ;
rures to demonstrate that Republican 1
dicies bad not been a failure in the <
lited States. He also charged Mr.
irman with hostility to the navy. ,
r. Foraker also spoke, devoting him- ,
if largely to a comparison of con- j
t?on3 under the Harrison 3drainistra n
and those under the administra- .
m of Cleveland, to the advantage of
j former.
On the Democratic side Messrs. Goran
and Bailey were the orators.
Commenting on the present condi- '
n of the country's finances, Mr. Gor- <
an said that it was due to the im- 1
ense expenditures made in prepara- .?
in for war?$82,000,000 last year for
e navy and $118,000,000 for the j
o timo nf nrnfnnnd r>eace. He i
nied. ns Mr. Lodge had charged, that j
1 had been an enemy of the upbuild- j
g of the navy. On the contrary, he
Dtild have the navy engage ample ^
rces to guard American interests ,
erywhere. But he had had no idea
a navy to compete with that of j
eat Britain or Germany, because our *
nditions did not require such a navy. c
? did not want a navy for display, but
r service. I
"I want economy in it." he said, and 1
called attention to the effectual aid <
ven to Venezuela during the admin- 1
:ration of Mr. Cleveland. "We did t
at." he said, "at the cost of $16,000,
0 a year, ana now we pay z.vw.- f
0 for a navy with which to threaten ,
)!ombia." He would reduce the ^
my from 100.000 (pen as now au. c
crized. to .iO.OOO. 2
: He did not. he said, confess that he j
:>uld be willing to take money from
e excessive expenditures for the
my and navy, and give it to the SL
mis fair, the success of which was
edged by the United States. Some
Spicv Remarks. ,
I
Indiana and Kentucky locked horns
the House Wednesday. The debate. .
bicft involved nearly every member of
>th State delgations. was fast and
rious from start to finish. Kentucky 'J
manded of Indiana the return of W.
Taylor, that he might be tried for \
e assassination of William Goebel." I
le assault was made by Mr. James, of
entucky, and the defense"was led by <
r. Crumpacker, of Indiana. Partisan j
eling rose to an extreme tension, ana
i either side scored both applause
rision resulted. The debate was
ised on the diplomatic and consular (
ipropriation bill. .
Mr. James fired both sides of the 1
otise to interest and feeling by dealing
at the outset that the "Rough t
ider President" was ridiculous in his 1
essage to Congress favoring interna- (
anal extradition treaties, when one c
ate could not get from another fugive
from justice. He had, he said,
troduced a bill in which the Federal $
ivernment made extradition compul- t
?ry in cases where persons had been j
dieted for crime. For four years, he
id. Governor Durbin. of Indiana, had
otected Taylor, who had been regu- \
rly Indicted In Kentncky for the mur- J
?r of Goebel, "and yet I notice that '
hen Durbin comes to town." con- '
nued Mr. James, "he is wined and
ned by this great Don Quixote upon
[tradition, who absolutely confides 1
i Durbin the right to give the wait- 1
g and anxious world the news that I
anna can run for President if he <
ants to. And when we all read that, 1
e again declare 'the king can do no
rong." "
Mr. Crumpacker, of Indiana, arose ,
> make ?a reply to Mr. James, and .
ought a storm of questions from the .
emocratic side. .
Ttie Governor of Indiana needed no
defense, oegan Mr. Crumpackcr. especially
to anyone acquainted with the
Kentucky election of 1899. He declared
Taylor had been elected Governor; that
the Kentucky Juries had been "packed."
and that history would justify the
action of Indiana.
Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, corahatted
the idea that the Kentucky
juiies were "corrupt and rotten." In
some respect, he said, the speech of
Mr. Crumpacker was a disgrace to
American civilization. It was ridicu- ,
lous to suppose that all purity reigned
in Indiana, and that just across the
river all was corruption.
Receivers Appointed.
Anniston, Ala., Special.?At the
meeting held here between the form- ,
er owners of the Southern Car &
Foundry Company and the rereiigers
lppointed to take charge of that prop- (
;rty. an amicable agreement was :
rcached and it was determined that <
lie receivers should conduct the ^
plant until present orders have been
Hied. The meeting was called to de- (
ermine whether the receivers should 1
continue to open the plant, as their i
;ease had expired Jan. 1. The plant i
employes 1,500 men.
Sacrificed His Life For Another.
New Orleans Special.?In attempting t
:o save the life of a sailor named Peter 1
tlansen, George Stadie, engineer of the t
)il steamer Northtown, from Port Ar- 1
;hur, lost bis life. Several other men t
were prostrated by the fumes, but later 1
were resuscitated. Hansen went into s
he repair shelves, and Stadie volun- s
cered to go to the assistance of Han- t
;en. He tied a rope about the sailor, 1
ind the latter was dragged to the deck, t
jut Stad'.e in the meantime fell un- j
onscious and died in a short while. ^
