TTIPMANLSIHE THEME
Senate Still Discussing the Recalci-
trant- Broker’s Case.
BEN TILLMAN’S SUGGESTION.
He Doesn’t Care About the Broker, but
\Vould G0 After the “Big Fisli”—H0r-
rible Condition of Cuba~ Reveal-
ed by Our Consuls’ Reports.
Washington, May 14. ——The senate
agreed at the outset of the session to-
day that the adjournment be until next
Monday.
The Allen resolution relative to bring-
ing Elverton R. Chapman to the bar of
the senate was taken up as soon as the
routine business was out of the way.
Mr. Allen said he desired to present
some additional facts bearing on the
subject. .
Mr. Allen said the senate should, in
justice to itself, take this matter in
hand and deal with it promptly. He
could understand, he said, the anxiety
of Chapman'to shield those around him
from the consequences of the sentence,
“but, as the representatives of 70,000,000
people,” proceeded Mr. Allen, “we can-
not afford to permit Mr. Chapman, the
representative of a powerful organiza-
tion which it has been charged exer—
cises great influence over this body, to
go unwhipped.”
The discussion assumed a legal and
technical phase, Messrs. Faulkner of
W‘est Virginia, White of California and
Spooner of Wisconsin arguing on the
law applying to Chapman.
Mr. Hoar moved to refer the resolu-
tion to the committee on privileges and
elections.
Mr. White argued that the pardoning
power was exclusively an executive
function, and it was not for the senate
to suggest methods to the executive or
to curtail that power. Answering a‘
question of Mr. Allen, Mr. White said
the right of the Nebraska ‘senator to
urge this resolution was not questioned,
but it was a question of propriety
whether the senate should trench upon
executive power.
Mr. Allen replied rather warmly that
on questions of propriety he would as—
sume the responsibility.
Ben Tillman’s Suggestion.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
made a sensational speech in the course
of the debate on bringing Chapman be—
fore the bar of the senate. He said the
senate should not go after Chapman,
but should learn whether senators had
speculated in sugar stock. There were
published charges, he said, that.sen-
ators had speculated in sugar stock
Within the last week. Instead of look-
ing to Chapmanhghersaid, the senate
might better call on Havemeyer and
other Sugar trust grandees. Referring
to the last investigation he said, “We
want to know whether our committee
fit was bought and punish them and the
men who bought them.”
Talking Over the Cuban Question. ‘
W’ashington, May 14.—President Mc-
Kinley had another important confer-
ence today on the Cuban question. Sec-
retary of the Navy Long and Assistant
Secretary of State Day came to the
White House and were ushered at once
into the cabinet room, where they were
joined by Mr. McKinley. Word was at
once sent to thoSe in waiting that the
president could not be seen before 1
o’clock. He remained in close confer-
ence with the department officials, and
a. number of senators and represents
tives who had expected a hearing were
turned away.
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations today had the Cuban question
under consideration on the basis of the
report of the subcommittee appointed
yesterday to confer with the president
and Secretary Sherman. The report
was prepared by Senators Davis and
Foraker, the Republican members of
the subcommittee, Senator Morgan, the
Democratic member, declining to par-
ticipate in it. The report consisted'of a
concise statement of the contents of
official reports from American consuls
in Cuba, being the information up to
within a week of the present time. This
report confirms the newspaper reports
as to the situation of affairs in the is-
land. and goes even further in depicting
‘ a deplorable situat‘in than do most of-
the newspaper stories.
Especial stress is laid upon the con-
dition of American citizens in the is-
land. Of these it is positively stated
that there are hundreds in a starving
condition and most wretchedly clothed.
Deaths of Americans from starvation
are daily reported. They are scattered
in all parts of the island and are shown
no consideration whatever because of
their American citizenship. They are
generally persons who reside on the
plantations, but who have been driven
from their homes to the towns or con—
centrados, and who, being strangers
and without employment, are compelled
to subsist on almost nothing. They are
not allowed to return to their planta-
tions, even to pick berries or to secure
the least article of subsistence. They
are theoretically under the care of the
Spanish army, but the army is without
a commissariat. They have no means
of leaving the island. Their condition
is pronounced wholly deplorable. The
committee was especially impressed
with this recital, and the opinion was
generally expressed that the situation
should be remedied if possible.
It was considered as placing even a
worse aspect upon the question of our
relations to Cuba than‘ the imprison-
ment of Americans, of which there are
now comparatively few instances. The
report also indicates a generally
wretched condition of all the inhab-
itants of,the island because of the
scarcity of food and money, especially
in the centers o'f population, and be-
cause also of the pressure of the most
malignant diseases, such as yellow
fever, smallpox and dysentery. These
diseases the natives withstand with
comparative ease, but they are espe-
cially oppressive to the Spanish sol-
diery.
The reports indicate that the Spanish
army is not so strong now as it was a
year ago, largely on account of these
ravages, while they indicate no diminu-
tion of the insurgent forces.
Promotion For Generals.
Washington, May 14.—It is under-
stood that the president has decided to
nominate Brigadier General James W.
Forsyth, at present in command of the
department of California, to the vacant
major generalcy caused by General
Wheaton’s retirement last week. In
this case General Forsyth, it is expect-
ed, will retire within a few days after
confirmation, leaving the way open or
the promotion to the major' generalcy
{if some of the other brigadier generals,
which movement will probably end
with General Brooke permanently in
the place of major general.
Another Leaking Drydock.
Washington, May 14.—The navy de-
partment has been informed that the
second timber drydock at the Brooklyn
navy yard, known as dock No. 2, has
developed signs of great weakness, like
the big dock No. 3', from which it is
distant about 150 yards. The dock be-
gan leaking rapidly all along the east
side, and it was found necessary to
flood it. , .
Presidential Appointments.
Washington, May 14.—The president
today sent the following nominations to
the senate:
Treasury—James M. Sloan to be as—
sistant treasurer of the United States
at Baltimore; Richards Bostwick to be
surveyor of customs, port of Galena,
Ills.
One Day’s Government Receipts.
Washington, May 14.—National bank
lotes received today for redemption,
289,321; government receipts from in-
ternal revenue, $431,951; customs, $411,-
767; miscellaneous, $28,928.
THE LVHAWAIAN SITUATION.
Minister Buck \Vill Investigate Alleged
' Japanese Macliinations.
Washington, May 14. —The situation
in Hawaii is giving the administration
much concern.
The president and Secretary Sherman
have for some time been deluged by
the friends of annexation with alarmist
stories about the alleged attempt of
Japan to seize the islands, and some
weeks ago succeeded in so impressing
the administration with the idea of a
revolution in the islands that the war-
ship Philadelphia was dispatched to
Honolulu.
The Japanese legation in this city has
persistently and consistently denied
that Japan had designs on the islands,
but the reports are so conflicting that
President McKinley has decided to as—
certain for himself just what is going
on.
He has instructed Colonel Buck of
Georgia, the new minister to Japan, who
sails for Yokohama from San Francisco
on the 29th of this month, to stop a
week at Honolulu and ascertain just
how much truth there is in these re-
ports.
The knowledge so obtained will
doubtless enable Colonel Buck to more
easily understand the real inwardness
of Japan’s action after he arrives at
Yokohama.
It is well known that Harold Sewall,
the new minister to Hawaii, who sails
with Colonel Buck, earnestly favors an-
nexation, and this has been taken as
an indication that the administration
at heart also leans in that direction.
Should it turn out that Japan is se-
cretly conniving at the seizure of the
Sandwich islands, it is altogether prob-
able that such an attempt will be fore-
stalled by their immediate annexation
to the United. States.
Found Himself Buried Alive.
Hamilton, Ont, May 14.—Professor
Ferris, a hypnotist, put Fred Smith un-
der the influence, placed him in a coffin
and buried him in a vacant lot with a
ventilation shaft. Smith was to remain
under ground for three days. People
surrounding the grave heard cries com—
Ing up the shaft. Smith was shrieking
to be let out, and was soon dug up. The
professor explained that Smith had not
been sufficiently hypnotized.
Governor Black Will Participate.
Albany, May 14.—Governor Black has
accepted the invitation of the chamber
of commerce of Rochester to participate
in an excursion from that city to N1—
agara Falls on June 11. Superintend-
ent of Public Works Aldridge and
Speaker OfGrady tendered the invita-
tion to the governor this morning.
Sale of Assets of Bank of Tacoma.
Tacoma, May 14.—The sale of the as-
sets of the Bank of Tacoma to J. J. Mc-
Kone for $8,250 has been confirmed by
the superior court. The face value of
the assets was more than $259,000. The
city of Tacoma had over $200,000 on de-
posit at the time of the failure, Aug. 18,
1895, nearly all of which was lost.
Frenchmen Were Pleased.
Paris, May 14.—At a cabinet council
held today Admiral Besnard, the min-
ister of marine, stated that the repre—
sentatives of France at the ceremonies
attending the dedication of the Grant
memorial tomb were the objects of spe-
cial attention upon the part of the
American authorities.
Rescuers Rewarded.
London, May 14.—The board of trade
has received the gold watch and medals
awarded by President McKinley to the
captain of the British steamship Fife-
shire and his officers for their rescue of
the crew of the American ship Patri-
cian, who were picked up at sea by the
Fifeshire last August.

Albany, May 14. —The Manhattan
Railway company. made a profit of
$425,659 during the - quarter ending

ter last year. The report of the com-
pany was filed with the railroad com-
