T TTT T VENT N 6. GM mm ,. IIiIiIIIIIIIInIICUBI Senator’s Strong, Speech ll’asliicgion. The indium in THE CALL PLAN. SUPPORTS “’ould Send 3 Fleet to Cuban “’ators to Protect Our I Citizens and Prevent Spanish Atrocities ——. Sarcasm For Sherman and Lodge. WASHINGTON, April 9.-—Ilr. Gallinger (Rep, N. H;) read to the senate today a petition signed by the mayor and alder- men and many citizens of Portsmouth, N. H.. urging that the atrocities against Christians in Turkey had reached such a stage that the United States should effect an alliance with Great Britain and other Christian countries; that the fleet of the combined powers be dispatched to Turk- ish waters with a view of establishing a protectorate of Christian powers over Ar- menia and if need be to take Constanti- nople. The petition also deprecated the agitation between the United States and Great Britain and Venezeula and urged a speedy settlement. Mr. Lodge 310] . Mass]: that he would take up the immigration bill on the 16th inst, and Mr. Nelson (Rep, Minn.) said he would submit some remarks on that subject. The bill was passed granting a pension of $50 monthly to the widow of Major General Charles S. Hamilton. Something of adebate on banking came up on Mr. Teller’s request that a bill re- quiring national banks to keep their re. serve in their own vaults be referred to the committee on finance. Mr. Teller said there was a congestion of money in the large eastern cities, growing. out of the fact that the law permits bankers to keep their reserves in New York city, drawing interest, and thus taking the fund from local use. He regarded this as very detri- mental. Last September $200,000,000 of this outside money was tied up in New York. It tended to increase speculation. He was informed that 75 per cent of these funds were used in stock speculation and not in legitimate business. He urged the finance committee to advise some method of reform. Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mass.) agreed with Mr. Teller that a reform was necessary. Since the national bank law went into effect the practice had grown up of having outside banks deposit their reserve funds in the large cities in order to get the interest. It prevented the former reciprocity of inter- ' est between the local borrowers and the local banks. The borrowers now dealt through brokers who dealt with the large cities. - “Two Huge Combinations.” Gradually, said Mr. Hoar, we were building up two huge combinations—one the money borrowers and the other the money lenders. In case of panic the whole structure would tremble as though a nerve had been touched. In his opinion the banking law should be amended so as to prevent the payment of interest on reserve deposits in all cases. Mr. Merrill, chairman of.thc finance committee, said both the senators were mistaken, as banks of standing did not pay interest on reserve deposits. ;:~l\lr. Hoar insisted that they did and cited the Boston banks, which he said paid 3 per cent on outside deposits. The bill went to the finance committee. Bills ware passed authorizing a. bridge across the Chattahoochee river at or near Columbia. Ala.. and for the improvement of the roads at Gettysburg National park. Mr. Turpio (Dem., Ind.) was then recognized in support of the joint resolu- tion of Mr. Call for the sending of a United States fleet to Cuban waters to protect Americans and to prevent Spanish barbarities Mr. ’l'urpie said this resolu- tion was full of meaning, considering the remarkable change of front of the chair- man of the committee on foreign relations (Sherman) and the senator from Massa- chusetts (Hoar) in their conduct of the Cuban campaign. This resolution pro- posed to send a United States naval force to Cuba. During the Chilean trouble our fleet was sent to Chile and exercised most salutary influence, and now, on the same errand and with the same .purpose, a. United States fleet should proceed to Havana. This resolution was the natural out- growth of the inertia, inaction and ob- struction of the chairman of the commit- tee on foreign relations (Sherman) since he took refuge in the crypt of a conference committee. hlr. Turpie severely criticised Mr. Sherman’s “abnormal proceedings” in handling the Cuban resolution. He also referred to the “jingo jargon” of Mr. Lodge, ‘a gentleman who was able to clothe an exciting question with all the dullness of commonplace. Mr. Turpie ridiculed the resolutions offered by Mr. Sherman. They had pro- posed “intervention,” but the honorable chairman did not say on which side we would intervene. It was not disclosed by this remarkable document whether we were to intervene to restore the grasp of Spain on Cuba or in behalf of Cuba to throw off that grasp. “When the time comes for intervention, ” exclaimed Mr. Turpie, “I am for inter- vention on the side of Cuba for the sake of freedom and independence and for no other reason.” The senator said that the greatness of a question was often obscured by the indif- ference of its presentation. Here was a war raging for a year, and yet in the 20 or 30 speeches by Mr. Lodge and a like number by Mr. Sherman be- fore he retired to the cave of Abdullah all that could be learned were the ejacula- tions “there is a war in Cuba” and “great is the Cuban question.” Mr. Sherman sat across the aisle, smiling at times while Mr. Turpie proceeded with his vigorous arraignment of the “mismanagement of . the Cuban resolutions.” , In the House. The first thing in order after the read- Ing of the journal in the house today was the vote on the bill to adopt the metric system of weights and measures in all do- partments of the government after July 1, 1898, and to make it the only legal system after 1901. The bill was passed. Mr. Deckery (Dem., Mo.) moved to re- consider and Mr. C. W. Stone (Rep, Pa.) moved to lay that motion on the table. The vote was taken by yeas and buys. The motion to lay on the table failed— ~- 111 to 136. The opponents of the bill fol- lowed up their victory by pressing the motion to reconsider. The motiop to reconsider prevailed—1 41 to 99. After this defeat Mr. Stone at- tempted to withdraw the bill, but Mr. Decker; objected and insisted that, after the time spent On the bill, it should be killed outright. Mr. Stone, however, thought a. majority would votq for the bill cave notice Advertise in the GAZETTE. If it were amended in several partlcularl, and he therefore moved to recommit the bill, a motion which carried—130 to 95. ‘ Sectarian Aid Eliminated. WASHINGTON, April 9. —The District of Columbia appropriation, which .was re- committed to the committee by the house on account of the aid carried by it to char- itable institutions, was today considered by that committee and remodeled so far as it applied to private institutions. The question, which has caused so fierce a con- test in the house. was disposed of by every sweeping amendment. All the items for private and semiprivate institutions which have heretofore depended largely upon the government for support were stricken from the bill. In place of these appropria- tions a lump sum of $94,700, equal to the total of the various items, is added for the relief and care of the poor and such char- itable and reformatory work as has here-~ tofore been provided for by direct appro- priations, to be expended by the district commissioners, either under contract or by employing the public institutions of the district. Congressional Contests. WASHINGTON, April 9.—Four contested election cases were decided today by house elections committee No. 3. In only one case was the report adverse to a sitting member, that of Murray versus Elliott from the First South Carolina. The other cases were: Johnson versus Stokes, Sev- enth South Carolina; Kearby versus Ab- bott, Fifth Texas; Ratliff versus Williams, Fifth Mississippi. The Hawaiian Cable. WASHINGTON, April 9.—The senate com- mittee on foreign relations again consid- ered the Hawaiian cable question today and again adjourned without reaching a con- clusion. The disposition now is to await the action of the house committee, which has the same question in hand. National Bankruptcy Bill. WASHINGTON, April 9.—The house com- mittee on the judiciary today completed its work upon the bankruptcy bill and de- cided to report the bill to the house this week.

Nominated For Congress. WASHINGTON, April 9. -— Thomas H. Tongue of Hillsboro has been nominated by the Republicans to succeed Binger Her- mann in the First Oregon congressional district. THE NATION’S BANDS. President of. the Musician's’ Convention Scores Them Severely. WASHINGTON, April 9.-—At the session of the musicians’ convention President Bremer read his annual address. During the eburse of his remarks he took occasion to criticise the military and naval bands of the government rather severely, yet ad- vccated their admission to the league. He favored an amendment to the bill now in congress to reorganize the army and navy, to class bandmasters as commissioned offi- cers and all bandsmen as noucommis— sioned officers, with the rank and pay of such. . Their military duties should be regu— lated by statute, and there should be a prohibition regarding the employment of government bands for private purposes by any officer. Such an arrangement, he said, would enable good and competent musicians to enlist, would secure perma- nent positions for them, elevate the now degraded standard of the United States government bands and be effective in preventing further competition with civil. ian musicians. He also urged the league to be careful in the admission of new members, recom— mended that hereafter national conven- tions be held biennially, and that decisive action be taken on the question of a home for aged and infirm musicians.

The Cape Times says that a peculiar experience befell a. local cyclist, Don- ald Menzies, recently. He was riding along the main road from Cape Town to Somerset West Strand, when an os— trich, attracted apparently by what was in- its eyes a novel vehicle, com- menced to waltz around the bicycle. After a few preliminary antics the bird took it into its head to pace. Mr. Men- 'zies, and so long as it abstained from using its wings thIe cyclist and. the ostrich ran a. dead heat. However, after covering about half a. mile in this way the ostrich utilized its stumpy wings as sails and sported away at record-breaking pace, leaving the cy- clist far behind. After that the bird troubled Mr. Menzies no more. Battle Won After Death. The battle won by a king after his death was the victory achieved by peo- ple of the Cid, in Spain.

His people washed and dressed the body, clad it in a suit of the finest mill, tied it on a horse and, surround- ing it by a. brilliant cavalcade of officers and attendants, went forth to battle.
