‘ \Vork of the Senate.

V’Vashington, April 6.—The senate gal-
leries were crowded today as they have
not been since the opening day of the
session, the visitors in the main-being
schoolteachers from New England.

Mr. Chandler (Rep., N. H.) read a
statement from the McKinley and Ho-
bart club of Washington, protesting
against the removal of 85 colored girls
from the bureau of engraving and
printing on the alleged ground of. color.

A report was received from Secretary
Bliss relative to the executive order of
Feb. 22 last including large tracts as
forest reserve. The report covers the
voluminous correspondence leading up
to the order.

There was quite a breeze when Mr.
.Chandler (Rep., N. H.) introduced a
bill abolishing competition in trade and
production and authorizing combina-
tions to enable merchants, manufac-
turers and producers of commodities
subject to interstate commerce to
maintain prices and profits notwith-
standing business depression. Mr.
Chandler said he would not press this
bill unless an effort was made to pass
the “pooling” bill allowing railroads to
, combine. In that case he would urge
this as an amendment to the pooling
bill. If congress abolished railroad com-
petition, said the senator, it might as
well abolish all other competition.

"Is this bill of Republican origin?”
queried Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb..)

“It is,” responded Mr. Chandler, “ un—
less my own Republicanism is in ques-
tion, although I alone am responsible
for the bill.”

There was some question as to the
reference of the bill. Mr. Gray (Dem.,
Del.) ironically said it ought to go with
the tariff bill to the finance committee.

“Or to the committee on woman suf—
frage,” suggested Mr. Allen, “as that is
about the most harmless committee in
this body.”

Mr. Chandler reiterated his purpose to
urge this 'in a serious way as an amend-
ment if the pool" T bill was pushed.

Mr. Allen gav. a parting shot to “the
paternalism” cf the bill and added, “In
"the palmiest days of Populism no man
was ever so wild eyed and long haired
as to introduce such a bill.” .

Here the presiding officer, Mr. Ho—
bart, intervened, holding that the de-
bate was out of order.

The Cuban Question.

The Cuban question then came up on
the resolutions of Mr. Allen and Mr.
Morgan heretofore introduced. The Al-
len resolution protests against the trial
of General Ruiz Rivera, the Cuban com-
mander, by drumhead cou1t martial.
Mr. Allen urged the immediate adoption
of 'the resolution. He emphatically dis-
sented, he said, from the proposition that
the American congress must sit idly by
while this savagery and barbarous con—
test proceeds at our very threshold.
Within 100 miles of our shores women
and children were being butchered and
the methods of civilized warfare set at
defiance. Murder, rapine and devasta-
tion were playing their part in .the de-
struction of the island. And were we, a
Christian peOple, he asked, willing to sit
by and not raise our voice in defense of
these people?

Mr. Allen declared that Spain’s course
had been one of bloodshed and cruelty.
This .was so notably true as to recent
events in the Philippine islands and in
Cuba that Spain had been made an
“outlaw nation,” not entitled to recog-
nition by civilized countries. It was
time for us to act, declared the senator.

Mr. Hoar (Rep.—,. Mass.) responded in
a calm and impressive manner. He spoke
of the aspirations of the founders of the
government in establishingthe senate
as the stay and resisting power against
those passionate and fitful gusts of sen—
timent that had wrecked every other re-
public} on earth. He believed in the
dignity and greatness of the senate in
spité of ignorant criticisms and of the.
scurrility of the London Times. But
there were some gentlemen who seemed
to think that the function of the senate
was to edit a daily newspaper and ped-
dle it out at 2 or 3 cents a copy, gather-
ing up all current reports and rumors
and prophesying what was to occur. In
this pending resolution the senate was
asked to give an affront to a powerful
and f11endly nation.

The symbol of the senate was more
properly the stui dy and slow maturing
oak rather than the mushroom which
rotted in an hour. This resolution was

 

- ‘ "WEEKLY4'11011WA11'K'

based on mere prophecy, surmise, pre-

diction.
A motion to refer the resolution in

reference to General Rivera to the com-‘

mitee on foreign relations was then de-

feated, and the vote was taken on the

resolution which was adopted—44 to 0.
Text of the Resolution.

The resolution in full as it passed the
senate today is as followzs

“Whereas, information has come to
the senate that General Ruiz Rivera, a.
leader of the Cuban army of independ-
ence r,ecent1y Captured by the Spanish
forces is to be tried by drumhead court
martial and shot; therefore,

“Resolved, That in the judgment of
the senate it is the duty of the presi-
dent of the United States, if such in-
formation is found to be true, to pro-
test to the Spanish government against
such a violation of the rules of civilized
warfare."

CANADIAN SMUGGLING.

Negotiations Pending to Put a Stop to
This Nefarious Practice.

Montreal, April 6.—Important inter-
national negotiations are proceeding
with the United States for the better
protection of the revenue of both Cana-
da and the United States. C. J’. Smith,
a special agent of the United States
treasury depa1tment, is in Ottawa con-
ducting the negotiations in behalf of
Secretary Gage. The ministe1 of trade
and commerce, the comptroller of cus-
toms and the solicitor general have
met Mr. Smith, and an agreement has
been reached whereby, in the matter of
smuggling, the fixing of values and the
detection of frauds, the Canadian and
American departments will co— —operate,
and their respective officers along the
border will be immediately instructed
to aid each other in amanner to be in-
dicated by confidential instructions.

It is found that a man who makes
a trade of smuggling from Canada to
the United States usually smuggles
American goods back into Canada, so
that there is a community of interest
in the revenue officers on both sides.
It will astonish the public to learn that
there are no fewer than 75 large stores
and as many more smaller ones built
on the international line, with half on
Canadian territory and half on Ameri-
can. They carry heavy stocks, worth
from $50,000 to $100,000. If Canadian
customs officers enter, contraband
goods are moved over to the other and
American end of the store, and vice
versa. These stores are long and nar-
row and built expressly to evade the
revenue officers.

 

Outbreak of an Alabama Feud.

Birmingham, Ala., April 6.—A feud
which had existed between the families
of Bud Harville and Jack McComb,
prominent farmers of Cullman, over the
location of the division line between
their properties, resulted in a fight be-
tween Harville and one of his farm
tenants named John Atwell on one side
and McComb and his 18-year-old son
on the other. Atwell was killed and the
younger McComb was fatally wounded.
The elder McComb V. as shot in the leg
and body.

Nelson 15!. “leeks Held.

New York, April 6.——A sensation was

created at the coroner’s inquest into the
death of Aimee Smith when Coroner’s
Physician Weston testified that. in his
opinion, carbolic acid poisoning killed
the unfortunate girl. Nelson M. Weeks,
who has confessed that he took the gill
to the Hotel Victor on fhe day of her
death, declined to testify at the inquest.
The jury decided that the girl died of
carbolic acid poisoning, and Weeks was
held in $2,500 bonds.

N0 Improvement In Flooded Districts
of the Mississippi.

 

FIFTY PLACE S SUBMERGED.

Statement Prepared For the President by
Citizens’ Relief Committee of Mean-
phis—Caring For Refugees.

Fears In Kansas City.

Washington, April 7.-—-Messrs. R. C.
Graves and .l. S Menken, representing
the citizens’ relief committeeof Mem-
phis. organized for the purpose of re-
lieving the people of the 'flooded dis-
trict near there, have arrived in the
city. They have prepared a. statement
which they will submit to the president.

From Marion,Ark., north of Memphis,
to Greenville, Miss, it is stated, there
are now at least 50 towns and villages
under water, and a territory extending
from 100 miles north of Memphis to 200
miles south and 5 to 40 miles wide is
submerged and devastated by the flood.

Hundredsof thousands of acres of cul-
tivated soil with growing crops are in-
cluded in this submerged territory, and
there are from‘ 50. 000 to 60,000 people
whose p1operty has been destroyed and
whose business has been suspended
the1eby. The amount‘ of damage to
property is incalculable.

In addition to the grow ing crops which
have been destroyed, thousands of head
of working stock and of cattle have
been drowned and starved.

The great majority of the sufferers
are small farmers, mostly negroes, who,
with the present crop destroyed and
their working stock and farming tools
swept away, are left utterly destitute
and unprepared to begin work again
even after the floods have subsided.

The extent of the suffering has grown
beyond the car acitr of the local author-
ities and of the local charities to re-
lieve e.

Caring For Refugees.

The citizens’ relief committee of Mem-
phis are now caring for from 6000 to
7,000 refugees from the flooded district,
and they are still arriving by boatloads
every day.

In addition to this, large supplies of
provisions are being sent to various
points in Arkansas and Mississippi
VV here it is possible for the refugees to
be cared for on higher ground, and in
relief barges.

The utmost that can be done by
these efforts is to measurably and
temporarily relieve the present suffer—
ing. The committee have found it very
difficult and ve y costly to reach a .por—
tion of the suliferers living in the inte-
rior, who can only be 'reached by skiffs
operating with light draft steamers
that can leave the main riV er

Memphis being the only point on high
ground for' about 200 miles north and
south, it necessa111v has become the
place of refuge of all seeking to escape
the flood in that territory.

[Jayne Says His Reputation Was Damaged
to the Extent of 850,000.

New York, April 6.—Among the cases
upon the calendar of the United States
circuit court for the April term is asuit
brought in 1895 by Benaiah G. Jayne,
former customs ofiicer, against Charles
and Arthur H. .Scribner fdr $50,000, to
which amount Jayne says. his reputa-
tion was damaged by an article in the
“History of the Last Quarter of a Cen-
tury In the United States,” published in
the September number of Scribner’s
Monthly in 18"5.

The article, VV hich was written by E.
Benjamin Andrews, president of Brown
university, Providence, was headed “In-
ternational Revenue Scandals,” and Mr.
Jayne, in his complaint, says that its
statements in general were directed
Igainst him, and in instances he was at-
tacked especially by name.

“More notorious than the Washington
ring,” said the article, “were the scan-
dals connects l with the collection of the
revenues. Early in April, 1871, a meet—
ing was held in New York to protest
against the revenue and moiety laws.
the latter adjective meaning that the
law gave to a spy or informer one—half,
or a moiety, of the property forfeited
to the government by fraud discovered
through such person’s ag ency. Under
these were repeated instances of tech-
nical forfeitures and condemnadon on
the ground of constructive fraud owing
to some slight accidental mistake.

“A. T. Stewart is said to have been
at one time liable to a forfeiture of $3, -
)00,000 for an error of $300. An informer
intimated to a revenue officer that an
importer had defrauded the govern-
ment in the matter of duties upon im—
ports. The officer then obtained a se-
cret warrant toseize the books and pa-
pers of the importer, which was done.
The contingent rewards of the informer
were so enormous that every kind of
intrigue, deceit, subornation and
blackmail was practiced.”

The poréion of the article which Mr.
Iayne says was particularly damaging
to him said: “In one case a man nam-
ed Jayne, the most notorious of all the
informers, received nearly $70,000 for
his services. No wonder that he made
the utmost of every clew. He used to
say, ‘When I am fishing for trout, I
don’t throw away chubs.’ He was
charged with downright blackmail, for
which the power to seize private books
and papers gave him exceptional op-
portunities. He and his like sought to
stigmatize the entire mermntile class
in the importing cities. The terror in
which the house of Phelps, Dodge &
Co. was long kept by' the spies and
agents of the government would be in-
credible to most of our citizens now.

In their answer the Scribners say
the article was published for the public
benefit, that it was in all its principal
features true, and that when Jayne
appeared before committees of both
houses of congress "his testi'uony
showed he was the chief and most no-
torious of informers.”

 

Refuses to Accept a Fortune.
London, April 11.—The Westminster
Gazette says that Father Smullen, the
Roman Catholic priest, the friend and

legatee of Isabel Murphy, the Califor- -

man who died from alcoholism on
March 24, has refused the fortune of
£60,000 left to him by Miss Murphy's
last will and has requested that a for-
mer will dividing the money among
Miss Murphy’s relatives be acted upon.
