HIS CASE DISCUSSED IN SENATE
Senator Gibson Asks Tor Investiga
tion of tlio Jtulnttons Between tlio
Lehigh and Wllltcs-Itnrro Conl
Compnny and tlio Central Knllrond
of Now Jersey--Quiet Day in the
House.
Harrlsburg, Pa April C now Dr.
Silas C. Swallow npiearod before tho
bar of the senate this morning to purge
himself of contempt In not answering
questions asked him by the committee
that investigated tho cause of tho state
oapltol lire. Mr. Swallow was brought
before the bar of the senate by Sor-gennt-nt-Anns
Kyro In whoso custody
he was. Senator McCarrcll. the presi
dent pro tern, who occupied tho chair,
addressing Air. Swallow said:
"Tho senate has been Informed that
J on declined to give the names of the
persons on whose information you
wroto the artlclo in the Pennsylvania
Methodist. I now ask you whether
you are willing to furnish the names
of these pci sons?"
James A. Htrannhan, Mr. Swallow's
counsel, was present, hut In his behalf,
and for the prisoner. Senator Gobln, of
Lebanon, said:
"When Dr. Swallow was subpoenaed
to appear before the committee, several
cases were pending against him In
court, and he believed that to divulge
the names of his Informants would In
jure him. Ho therefore refused to an
swer the questions. One of these cases
has not yet been tried, but Dr. Swallow
Is willing to go before tho committee
and testify and have- his Informants
to testify. He does not desire to be
held in contempt and ho purges him
self of all contempt by ngreelng to tes
tify." The chnir asked Dr. Swallow If ho
was willing to assent to the statement
made by Mr. Gobln. Tho answer was
in tho adlt-mat ive. At this point Sena
tor "Walton, of Greene, presented a res
olution which stated that in purging
himself of contemptDr. Swallow should
stato whether ho Is willing to appear
before the committee and answer the
questions propounded and that If ho
refuse to testify that he Imj recommitted
to the custody of tho Eergeant-at-arms;
and that ho be kept in the Dauphin
county Jail until ho answers the Ques
tions. Mr Grady moved to strike out so
much of tho resolutions as had lipen
embodied In the statement made by Mr.
Gobln in behalf of Dr. Swallow. To
this Mr. Walton vigorously objected,
lie said that his resolution should have
been read before any statement had
been -made. "The prisoner," he con
tinued, "has been adjudged guilty of
contempt of the rights and privileges of
this body. Wo must protect ourselves
and thereby our constituents, I do not
wish to persecute or punish the pris
oner. Far from it, but wo should make
the legislative record perfect. This
resolution, if adopted, should bo placed
first In these proceedings,"
Mr. Grady stated that In presenting
tho resolution he merely wished to have
It conform with the proceedings. How
ever, Mr. Gobln said, ho could see no
sense in passing the lcsolutloh. "What
we have sought to do," he declared,
"has been accomplished. Inasmuch as
Dr. Swallow has agreed to testify, I
move to further amend the resolution
of Mr. Walton by moving that Dr.
Swallow be discharged from the cus
tody of the sergeant-at-arms."
"I will not vote for this amend
ment," asserted Mr. Grady. "Dr. Swal
low is In contempt pure and simple. Ho
has not purged himself, but ho said ho
will go before the committee and do so.
We must not back down. If wo do, this
ends our power In this direction."
A KNOTTY QUESTION.
Then for nearly three-quaiters of an
hour, lawyers In the senate tried to
determine whetherDr. Swallow was still
in contempt, and whether he had real
ly been In the custody of the sergeant-nt-nrms.
No agreement was reached
in this point and after a deal of talk
ing a voto was taken on Mr. Gobln's
motion to discharge Dr. Swallow from
the custody of the sergeant-at-arms.
The motion was defeated by a vote of
20 to 27.
Mr. Grady withdrew his amendment,
but Mr. White moved to amend th'o
Walton resolution by striking out the
wordf. "that ho be confined in tho Dau
phin county Jail." This amendment
was defeated by a vote of 23 to 24 and
tho original resolution was adopted by
a viva voce vote.
Mr. Walton thereupon moved to place
the resolution first In the day's pro
ceedings. This wn3 agreed to. This
ended tho proceedings and the couple
of hundred lookers-on left the chamber
in a hurry.
Dr. Swallow was subpoenaed today to
appear before the capltol fire Investi
gating committee tomorrow morning.
He sent word to the committee that
he was compelled to go to Philadelphia,
this aftprnoon with Mrs. Swallow to
take a sick child who made Its homo
with thorn and that he cannot get back
in dime for the meeting. The doctor
suys alM that tho time If. entirely too
short In which to prodi'co his witnesses
accotdlng to his promise today and
asks that the meeting be postponed un
til next Tuesday.
By resolution the investigation Into
the condition of the miners In the coal
regions was extended to tho Clearflelds
district. Senator Gobln, of Krle, pre
sented a lengthy resolution asking for
an investigation by a committee, of the
relations existing between the Lehigh
and Wllkos-Harro Coal company and
tho Central Railroad of Now Jersey,
Tho statement is made in the resolu
tion that the Jersey Central controls
the coal company, and that as such it
has defaulted in its payment of state
taxes on the coal concern to the extent
of J500.000. Further that the Lehigh
and "WllkeB-Barre company has made
no report to the stato since 1893, The
resolution was referred to the commit
teo on corporations,
Mr. Becker introduced a bill provid
ing for tho creation of a board of elec
tric railway commissioners. The com
mission is to be appointed by the gov
ernor and is to bo composed of three
members whose salaries shall bo $4,000
each per annum. The commission shall
have tho supervision over nil trolley
lines, even to the employing of proper
men as motormen. The commission
shall havo a secretary whoso Balary
shall bo J-'.MO.

Tills 'was a quiet day in the house.
The older was bills on third reading

A new order went Into effect nt the
morning session and hereafter bills may

priating $550,000 for the erection of a

The Situation Appalling in South Dakota.
Many Sufferers from the
Great Floods,
St. raid, Minn., Apill C.-A Targo, N.
D., special to tho Dispatch says: Tho sit
uation Is appalling. While tho Red river
rose only threo inches last night tho big
Coullo west of tho city took a second
spurt and went up fourteen inches, flood
ing tho entire west Bldo of town and
driving hundreds of peoplo from their
homes. Tho water leaches down to
Eighth street from Sixteenth street and
as far south of tho Northern Paclllo
tracks as tho eye can reach. It Is n
populous resident district and tho effect
of tho flood Is most forcibly felt. All that
pan of tho city south of Front street U
Inundated, six blocks of Eighth street
havo gone out this morning and tho flood
from west sldo of town Is so high that
paving or, West Front street Is going
out rapidly. Sidewalk aro all afloat and
are being used as rafts upon which fam
ilies aro moving to dry land.
All along Front street tho water Is
within a fow Inches of tho floors of prin
cipal business houses and a rise of an
other foot would practically put tho en
tire city afloat. Tho Northern Pacific
peoplo were afraid to use tho bridgo this
naming and pahsengcr trains wero
brought across from Moorehead over tho
Great Northern bridge. Passengers wcro
transferred and a special went this af
ternoon. All bridges aro condemned ex
cept tho Great Northern, which is a steel
bridgo put In last spring. Tho wuter
works at Reservo Station were com
pelled to shut down and pumps wero
started up and nro doing all In their
power to supply tho city. There Is much
suffering umong poor families who havo
been practically destitutes all winter and
this laHt blow Is most serious. Roller
committees operated Jointly by the city
council and county commissioners es
tablished headquarters this morning and
will take care of tho poor. It snowed
this morning for two hours. Sections of
tho city that no ono ever dreamed could
bo reached by flood aio now under water
and Broadway with a short distance on
either side, Is tho only dry spot in town.

NO PROTECTION

Washington, April 6. Americans who
go to Cuba with tho intention of aid
ing the Insurgents mid expect protec
tion from this government when they
fall into the hands of General Weyler
and his Spanli.li soldiers will hereafter
havo to make tho best of the situation
themselves. According to Secretary of
Slate Sherman this government will
not protect Americans, who, under cov
er of their nationality, engage in hostil
ities against Spain. Those who are
pursuing lawful occupations In Cuba
In a lawful wny will be held entitled to
tho protection of the law and treaties,
and in their behalf iu efforts will bo
spared by the United States should
they be arrested on suspicion. In dip
lomatic circles here It is well under
stood that nearly all of the friction
between the government of tho United
States and tho Spanish oflleers In Cuba
has arisen regarding persons who avail
ed thunibolvffi of naturalization under
American law to extend aid or sympa
thy to the Insurgents, and reverted to
their American citizenship as a means
of protection against acts committed
as Cuban rebels. This administration
does not propose to protect this class,
and the Eooner they know it tho better
it will be for them. They will have no
more standing at the state department
than if they had never boon citizens of
tho United States.
In discussing the question today Mr.
Cnlderon Carlisle, a well known Wash
ington lawyer, and an authority on in
ternational law, paid:
Persons who hold their American na
tionality so cheap as to use It as a cover
for military operations under foreign
colors Btand on a very Ulffeient foot
ing from thoso who, In pursuit of
Lthelr legltlmato business, act at oil
times as citizens of the United
States, obedient to its laws. Among
thesQ laws hardly any aro more Impor
tant than those, which forbid, taking up
arms agalmvt powers with which wo are
at peace. These laws aro not Intended
to extend tho protection of tho flag to
men who tako such action as Is now re
ported of General Julio Sangully, whoso
detention by tho Spanish authorities in
Cuba led to such an earnest debate in
tho United States senate. Tho senato ap
pears to have misunderstood tho real pur
poses and character of Sangully. Ho
claims to be an American citizen, and
was released from Imprisonment by Spain
through tho good ofllces of the United
States, but not as a matter of right. Ho
now, within a month of his release, bold
ly announces at a public banquet that ho
Is about to return to Cuba to draw his
sword in her defense, and that ho will
in all probability be within tho thick of
tho fight within a fow weekB. It Is said
that ho will tako tho pl.ico of Maceo's
successor. General Rivera, who has late
ly been captured. It Is also stated that
ho will renounce his American citizenship.
It would seem to bo a question of no
practical importance whether ho makes
any formul renunciation of his citizen
ship or not, and It Is not likely that ho
will be ablo to again secure tho good of
fices of tho United States, or, It he
should, that any respectable pretext will
bo found for making them effective with
tho Spanish government.
CARLISLE RETIRES.
After holding ofllce for nearly forty
years John Grlflln C irilsle retired to
private life on the 4 n of March last a
poor man. From latest reports, how
ever, he Is now on the road to pros
perity. According to report he has Just
refused to accept a $10,000 fee In a law
case. Thia is $2,000 more than he ever
received for a year's official labor, nnd
involved comparatively little time and
v.-oik, but from what Mr. Carlisle's
friends say $10,000 fees ore common
things with him now. They relate
most astonishing stories about the ex
tent of his professional engagements,
and say that they will bring him In
at lcatt $100,000 during the present year.
He will look after all the legal busi
ness of the house of J. Plerpont Mor
gan In the Southern states, and has
an engagement with the Southern
Railway company to serve it in a sim
ilar capacity. His friends say he will
be compelled to employ several assist
ants and maintain olflccs both at New
York and this city.
THE DINGLEY BILL.
The senate will, it Is said, at the re
quest of President McKlnlcy, exerclso
ns much haste as possible in Its delib
erations on the Dlngley bill. The com
mittee on finance now has tho bill In
charge and Is working on it day and
night, in the hope of having it ready
for presentation to the senate by May
1st, which will be Just ono month after
its passage In tho houbo. The charac
ter of the senate proceedings when the
bill has emerged from the committee
is in every way problematical, and tho
best of prophets can give very little in
the way of a valuable forecast concern
ing when the senate will tako Its final
vote. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the
mouth-piece of the silver Democrats
in the upper house, has assured the
Republican leaders In that body that it
Is not tho purpose of either him or his
collengues to block the tariff bill's pro
gress by dilatory tactics, and that all
they want is a freo and fair debate nnd
an opportunity to place themselves on
record ob opposing, by their votes nnd
speeches, tho Republican doctrine of
protection ns it is embodied in the
Dlngley bill.
An Interesting contest may grow out
of tlio several applications which have
been filed for tho appointment of sur
vc or of tho port at Pittsburg. Senator
Quay said before lie left for Harris
burg that he had as yet not decided
concerning whom ho would endorse for
tho place, nnd as several of his friends
are applicants he may have some dif
ficulty in reaching a decision, A lead
ing candidate is Samuel D. Hubley.who
has some strong support and w ho is
making his canvass a very vigorous
oni and with spme show of success.
Major Hubley, who was hero last week,
called on Prerident McKlnley lu a
friendly way, nnd renewed an acquain
tance with him of some years standing.
,lt Is understood that the president Is
very favorably disposed toward Major
Hubley, nnd that If tho appointment
wcro a personal one lie would get it.
However, It will bo ttia candidate whom
Senator Quay endorses who lands.
Major Hubley Is a conspicuous member
of the American club of Pittsburg, and
an active Quay man.
YOUNG M'CLELLAN'S SPEECH.
Young George B. McClellnn, of New
York, who nt tho late election carried
water on both shoulders, being tho reg
ular Democratic and tho gold standard
Democratic nominee for congress, has
attnlnpd considerable prominence at
this session. Ho made two or three
good speeches when tho tariff bill was
before tho Iiuubo arraigning It severely
from a Democratic point of view. Ono
of the criticisms which ho aimed at
the Dlngley bill was called forth' by
that section of the measure placing
statutory on tho dutiable list. Ho was
very brief but also very much to the
point. t
"You are deliberately discouraging,"
said he, "our benefactors of art from
bringing here and from eventually giv
ing to the people tho great pictures of
tho world. The more good pictures
that come to this country, the easier
it will be to obtain an art education,
the sooner you will Increase tho num
ber of American artists, and tho soon
er you will obviate Ihe necessity of
American artists studying and working
abroad. You can ro more mnke a sign
painter a Titian by taxing the work of
Titian 23 i er cent, than you can make
an organ grinder a. Richard Wagner by
making It difficult for tho organ grind
er to study music. Ry discouraging
genius you do not Improve mediocrity.
Genius does not require protection.
There are enough bad painters in the
world without Increasing their number.
If the art student shows that he has
not talent he should be discouraged to
cam a livelihood by some other moans
than by increasing the acreage of grue
some and monstrously daubed can
vass." SPEAKER REED'S APPLICATION.
Speaker Reed lias endorsed tho appli
cation of only ono condldate for ofllce
under this administration. His name
Is W. W. Thomas, a personal friend of
the speaker, who wants to bo minister
to Sweden and Norway. It is under
stood that the president has made up
his mind to appoint Mr. Thomas. It
is probable, however, that lie will have
to wait until the term of tho Incumbent
expires, which will not occur for a. year.
The present minister Is T. D. Ferguson,
one of the kind of Democrats who are
looked upon by the present administra
tion ns "good" Democrats. It Is said
that Minister Ferguson returned home
last November nnd took great pleasure
in casting his voto for Major McKlnley.
He Is still In this country and called
at the white house the other day to pay
his respects to the president, at which
time it was mentioned by his friends
thnt he was a pretty good McKlnley
man and would not object serving un
der his administration, at least until
his commission as minister expires. In
tho meantime Mr. Thomas' friends are
calling dally at the white Wise and
are urging tho president to send his
name to the senate without further de
lay. Champ Clark, the hammer and tong
statesman from Missouri, Is anything
b.ut a polished speaker. Ho has had
none of the rough edges knocked oft.
He Is Just ns raw as he was when he
first appeared In the house in the Fifty
third congress, nnd like McMHUn, of
Tennessee, wants to dc all the talking
on the Democratic side. During tho
closing hour of the debate on the
tariff bill last week Clark was recog
nized by the speaker, and amused th'o
galleries by bellowing out the follow
ing: "Ycu (meaning tho Republicans)
will be giound up In sausage machines;
you will be mowed down by reapers;
you will be tied up by binders, because
you have put a duty of -15 per cent, on
farm Implements." This is only a sam
ple of tho utterances of Clark and
many ot his Popocrayo colleagues in
the house.
The first horseless carriage ever seen
upon the street3 of Washington made
Its appearance the other day. It was
brought here for a trial on the as
phalt streets, and has been successful.
It made a trip of ten miles, up hill,
down hill nnd on the level, in an hour.
