ER A SR ET A RE Rs a moee Bt CLUMG PRESIDENT ERRED Senator Foraker Takes Issue on Case of Negro Troops. ACTION WAS NOT WARRANTED Claims President Had No Power Un- der the Constitution to Take Course He Did. enator Foraker of Ohio took issue with President Roosevelt on the dis maissal without honor of the three ne gro companies composing the First Battalion of the Twenty fifth infantry. as a result of the riot at Brownsville, Tex., in August. At the outset of his speech Mr. Foraker declared ‘‘the President misconceived his constitu tional power and misconceived the testimony upon which his action was based.” For two hours the Ohio senator held the close attention of the senate, ar- suing, first, that the evidence did not warrant the action of the President, and, second, that the President had mo power under the Constitution to take the course he did in dismissing the whole battalion. An interested auditor was Representative Long- worth, the President's son-in-law. Reading from the articles of war to ahow that all offences are to be dis posed of by court-martial, Mr. Fer- aker contended that the Brownsville affzir should have been handled in th manner, those suspected of had a part in it being tried by cour martial, and the same course adopted as to those who were believed to be in the conspiracy of silence. Senator F mony taken by Maj. Blocksam was mnderstcod to be all of » testimony in the hands of the President. Mr. Foraker replied that the President had maid he had sent all the testimony to | the senate and that the testimony tak- er by Maj. Blocksam was all that had been sent. Sen r lodge briefly replied to Benator Foraker, while Senator Scott sustained the demand of the Ohio senator for a full investigation of the matter by the senate military com- mittee. A resolution directing such an inve gation is before the senate for action at its next meeting. When Senator Toraker his remarks he received consent to modify his resolution so that it now directs the scnate com- mittee on military affairs to investi- te the circumstances leading up to | : oe fi ed Ba ! | Aquilla Triplett, their agent, ended in | the discharge of the negro troops. A USEFUL DEVICE fnvention Makes It Possible to Tele- phone from Moving Train. While running at speeds varying from 15 to 25 miles an hour telephone eonversations were held with Louis ville, Cincinnati, Madison, Ind., and other points by means invented by Dr. Alva P. Louisvilie, Ky., for which he is said to have refused a $100,000 offer by Chicago men. Those on the train testing the ap- paratus declare that it is the great- est railroad safeguard since the in- vention of the airbrake, as it enables train dispatchers to communicate di- rectly with crews on moving trains, and gives such crews the same fa- eility of communicating with each other.

WOULD INCREASE CURRENCY Privilege Given Only to National Banks That Have Been in Busi ness One Year. The House committee on banking and currency decided to make a favor- able report on a credit currency bill which” is but slightly different from the measure advocated by the Ameri- can Bankers’ association. In the bill advocated by the bank- ers it was provided that a tax of 21% per cent should be paid by National banks on credit currency equal to 25 per cent of their capital. The com- mittee increased the tax on such bank notes to 6 per cent. No change was made in. the provis- ion that National banks may also take out a further amount of National bank guarantee credit notes equal to 21% per cent of its capital with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. Another change of per cent made by the committee is one providing that National banking associations desir- ng to make out credit notes and hav- ing notes outstanding in excess of 621% per cent of their paid-up capital, may redeem such excess without refer- ence to the limitation of $3,000,000 each month prescribed by the act of | July 12, 1882. The bill as reported extends the ! privilege of issuing credit currency only to National banking institutions | which have been in business for one | year and have a surplus equal to 20 | per cent of their capital. The National bank credit notes authorized by may be taken out for issue without a deposit of United ,States bonds now | required by law. If the measure be passed as report- ed by the House committee, every National bank meeting the require- ments of the bill will be permitted to issue emergency or credit currency in the sum of $37,500 for every $100,- 000 of its capital. Bankers estimate the additional currency the measure would afford at $200,000,000. TO GUARD STATES’ | Resolutions Bearing on the Question Are Presented in the Senate.

The negro troops are branded as traitors, as are their comrades who have entered into the conspiracy of silence and have refused to divulge the information that would have en- abled the officials to ferret out punish the guilty ones. “These comrades of the murderers, by their own action, have rendered it necessary either to leave all the men, including the murderers, in the army, or to turn them all out.” In this single sentence the President up his ‘argument for the dismissal of the battalion. for his course. President Roosevelt denies the dis- mdssal of the battalion was a punish- ment visited upon the guilty ones. “The punishment mete for mutineers and murderers such as those guilty says he, and, therefore, the mere dis- missal could not under any circum- stances be considered a punishment.

CAUSE OF ACCIDENT NOT KNOWN Steamboat Brings Dead and Injured Back to Vicksburg—Boat a Total Wreck. One of the most disastrous acci- dents in the history of the Mississip- pi river occurred at 11:10 o’clock on the morning of December 19th, when | the steamer W. T. Scovel, plying in the Vicksburg and Davis Bend trade, was destroyed by an explosion. Owing to the large number of ne- groes on board, it is impossible to | ascertain the exact number of the | dead and injured, but officers of the | boat state that no less than 10 nor | more than 16 were killed. The prob | abilities are that a like number were injured. | The white dead: Captain John | Quackenbess, Clerk Wade Quacken- boss, Lavell Yerger, salesman, Clerk | Joseph Smith. | The negro dead were cared for at | the place where the accident occur- | red, as were some of the injured. | About five of the injured negroes | were brought to Vicksburg, on the | steamer Senator Cordell, with the | white dead and injured. The accident occurred at Gold Dust | Landing, about 17 miles south of Vicksburg. The Scovel was at the landing taking on freight when sud- denly a terrific explosion occurred and the boat was blown practically to atoms. Many of the timbers of the boat | were thrown hundreds of yards and some of those aboard were blown al- most as far. The pilet house and front part of the cabin were blown to splinters and some parts of the boat were so badly damaged that she be- gan to sink immediately. When the Scovel left late in the afterncon, she was listing heavily and | her cargo of 1,000 sacks of cottonseed { and 50 bales of cotton will be lost.

The coal company was indicted on 155 counts for receiving and the rail- way was indicted on a like number or granting rebates. The maximum | penalty is $20,000 fine on each count. | If convicted on all counts the fines would amount to $3,100,000 in both cases.

THREE SPECIAL MESSAGES President Deals With Panama, the Navy and Land Frauds. President Roosevelt sent three special messages to Congress on the 17th. One contains a full account of his trip to the Isthmus of Panama and contains many illustrationh showing the progress of work on the canal. In this message the following sug- gestions are made: First, that there should be but one commissioner instead of seven as at present. This singe commissioner should be in charge of all the heads of departments and have general di- rection of the work. .. Second, the best engineers in the country should be employed as con- sulting engineers, in order that the erave problems presented there may be solved in the most feasible man- ner. Third, that Dr. Gorgas, the sani- tary ofiicer in charge of the health on the isthmus, should be made a mem- ber of the canal board if the board is to be continued, instead of giving place to a single commissioner. Fourth, several thousand Chinese laborers should be employed on the canal as an experiment to test the feasibility of using them in digging the waterway. ‘ The navy personnel message asks that provision be made for making officers Captains when they reach the age of 48 and Admirals when they reach the age of 55, instead of de- pending upon seniority for making such promotions. The President be- lieves officers are too old before they reach these grades. In the public land message he asks for amendments to the land laws to prevent further wholesale frauds. He belicves the laws as now on the books invite frauds. ELOPERS FLEE 5,000 MILES Travel All the Way From Austria to New York to Escape Parent.
