RACE CONTROVERSY
INJHE SENATE
AIMS TO AVOID REPETITION OP
HAYES-TILDEN AfFAIR.
The Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution
Are Fully Discussed Speaker
Maintains That the Attempt to
Force the Black Bace Into a Politi
cal Equality Is a Clog to the Pro
gress of Mankind Proceedings of
the -louse.
Washington, Jan. 8. During n dis
cussion In tho senute today of a reso
lution of Inquiry offered by Mr. I'ottl
grew (South Dakota), Some sensational
statements were made regarding !he
nttltude of the United Stntts towards
the Philippine Insm gents. Mr. Pettl
giew declared that this government
had attacked Its allies and thereby had
been guilty of the gtossest treachery.
This statement was resented wnrmly
by Mr. 'Lodge (Mass.), who declared
that this government Ind done nothing
of the kind nnd that not even remotely
had It recognized the so-called govern
ment of the Filipinos.
Mr. Morgan (Dein , Ala.) discussed
at length the race question In th
south, basing his remnrks upon n reso
lution offered by Mr. Prltchard (Hep..
N. C). He deemed It Imperative that
some course should be adopted which
would prevent a repetition of tho
Hayes-Tllden conttoversy, nnd dls
cussed fully the foutteenth and fif
teenth amendments to the Constitu
tion. He maintained that to attempt
to force the black raeos Into a social
and political equality with the white
race was only to clog the progress of
all mankind. The speech wns a strong
appeal for action that would benefit
both races and a defense of the new
Constitutions of Louisiana and Xoith
Caiolina.

THE SAMOAN TREATY.
Discussed by the Senate in Execu
tive Session Objections from Sen
ator Bacon.
Washington, Jan. 8. The senate to
day took up the Samoan treaty In
executive session and after having it
read from the desk of Senator Davis,
chairman of the committee on forelga
lelatlons, made a brief explanation
statement. In doing so he quoted lib
erally from the report upon the Sa
moan situation made by Hon. Bart
lett Tripp. The senator referred to
the hostilities of last summer, saying
that these were merely a fore-runner of
what might have occuned on a far
larger scale if tho tripartite arrange
ment between the United States, Great
Britain and Germany had been per
mitted to continue In fc'e. He con
tended that Germany had simply made
a quit cdalm deed to the United States
and that In turn the United States had
quit claimed to Geimany. While the
statement was In pi ogress, Senator
Pettlgrew asked "How many people
the United States had bought with
the Islands come Into the possession of
this country by the transfer?" but Mr.
Davis refused to admit the applica
bility of the language to tho transac
tion. Senator Bacon stated his opposition
to the treaty and gave notice that he
would usk to be heard upon It when
the treaty Is again taken up.
The Injunction of secrecy was le
moved fiom the treaty. It has been
published heretofore.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
Now York, Jan. 8. The volume of
trading In stocks today was on a Bmntl
srale and a disposition wns tnnnlfet
In Wall stieet to await thu develop
ment of events before taking on stock.
The sensitiveness of the market to the
tntluencc of forden events wns n lend
ing motive. Nit vi'hstnndlng tho d.ivti
vvnid course of Intel est rates In Lon
don nnd on the continent, It Is ct.ur
that there Is need of more money
nbinnd. Foreign observers of good
authority offer the suggestion thnt tho
present enso of money abroad Is due
to artificial causes on governmental In
itiative. In English It Is evident thnt
tho purpose of this manoeuvre Is to
preputc the money mirket for placing
government loaria at an a (vantage. In
Germany It Is designed to strengthen
confidence nnd help out the nst Indus
trial Interests.
In any event the effect Is to draw
gold from Xew York under pressuro
und to send American securities home
to market. Foreign exchange houses
nssert that the present 1c vel of dis
count In London leaves no marcln of
profit on the special attraction offered
by the Bank of England on loans to be
repaid In gold. The arriving ship
ments of American gold v tho cause
of current enso In London discounts.
How long the ease would endure in
face ot n cessation of the shipments Is
doubtful. Meantime, rates for money
nt Intorlor nolrcs '.n this e. untry are
rising shurply, nnl It Is a qaesdon ho'v
long the Xew York market could look
to that source to replenish a drain to
the London market. In these circum
stances theie Is little disposition In
Ameilcan financial circles to hold up
prices of securities merely to afford a
market for foreign liquidation.
In today's market opening prices
were well down to or below the London
parity and so long as arbitrage sell
ing was n evidence they were allowed
to remain there or nearly so. Later in
the day there was a sharp recovery in
prices when tho pressure of th Lon
don selling censed. This nvnvery was
partly due to London Itself, which
bought back a few stocks sold earlier
in the day on General WMtc's report
of a repulse of the Boers at Lady
smith. While there was m effort to
bid up prices theie was goal absoip
tlon at tho recessions, some veiy
heavy blocks of prominent lallrond
stocks being taken on. Xew Jersey
Central was bid up 3 points on tho
Increase of the dividend late without
any sale. Sugar, Brooklyn Transit and
some of the iron stocks recovei ?d
shaiply from early weakness. Tho
demand late In the day in the genera!
list found such a very light supply that
prices hardened steadily to about Sat
urday's closing level. Xet losses were
reduced to fractions where they were
not entirely wiped out. Total balei,
439,100 shares.
Dealings In bonds were on a nn ill
scale nnd the tone was heavy, with a
few rallies In sympathy with stocks
Total sales par value, $1,300,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
In bid quotations.

SEIZURE OF uEBUAN SHIPS.
One Owner Admits Contraband Was

Hamburg, Jan. 8. Herr Adolph
Woui matin, one of the owners of tho
fietman vessels which were seized by
tho British, vas Interview ed today bv
n representntlve of tho Associated
l'i ess. He- said:
"The hist ship taken Is tho Horzog.
She has on bnaid the Dutch, Belgian
nnd Oeiman umbulance coips. All
these weie traveling bona tide under
the Ited Cioss. It Is certainly the first
time such a coips has been detained
by n hostile government. Their ser
vices were offered to the British, but
weie i of used. Wo cannot help consid
ering the action of the British as In
tended chiefly to prevent the German
Kast African line from continuing Its
seivico on nccount of Its competition
agtlnst lines. We consider the selz
utes entltely Illegal and against every
thing that until now has been consld
eied the law of nations. The action
ot the British authorities aie simply
those of brutal force, nnd what the
consequences will be we cannot say.
So fai, In both the case of the Bund
esrath und that of tho Genernl, the
only tepieseiitntlons made by Great
Britain consist In the allegation that
they ure 'suspected of carrying con
tiaband,' The dliectors of the German
Kast Aft lean have not the least doubt
that the vessels have no contraband

We went so far even lis to discharge

stenmMilps pievlous tn the outbreak of
hostilities.
"Begat ding the passengers, many cf
them nro known to us as regular pi
tions of the line. It was known thnt
other persons Intended to en to thu
Transvaal, nnd, while there might be
some adventurers anxious tn ptollt bv

far us the dlrectois could ascertain,
