| | FIGHTS FOR NEGRO'S RIGHTS Representative Olmsted Has His Resolution Referred to Census Committee, SOUTHERN MEMBERS OBJECT STRONGLY pnment Bill Taken Burlelgh Meaxure ax Showi Partiality to Nebraska. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—~The house today had another spirited struggle over the Olm sted resolution to Investigate the abridge ment of the suffrage in certain southern states with a view to reapportionment upon the actual basis of suffrage. It was finally reforred to the census committee, where the opposition desired it to go originally. Some of the republican leaders were not In sympathy with the resolution, Mr. Olmstead tried to get Mr. Hopkins to agree that the committee would consider the resolution within a week, but the chairman of the census committee declined to make any pledgo to that effect. The debate was marked by exceeding frankness. Some of the southern members avowed that the at- tempt to enfranchise the negro had been A lamentable failure and the action of certain states in legally eliminating the blacks as factors at the polls, they sald, was in the interest of civilization and progross. Mr. McDermott of New Jersey asserted that every state in the union either added to or substracted from the constitu- tlonal requirements of voters and chal- lenged any member to show to the contrary one that did not. After the resolution had been thus disposed of, the reapportion- ment bill was taken up and debated by Mr. Hopkins of Illinols and Mr. Shafroth of Colorado. An attempt to agree upon a time for the final vote on the bill failed, nithough the ‘general Impression s that the debate will conclude early next week Democrats Oppose Olmated BII The house voted 103 to 91 to consider the #80'ution, whereupon Mr. Richardson moved to recommit the resolution to the census committee. Upon Mr. Richardson’s motion, Mr. Olmsted demanded the previous ques- tlon, and notwithstanding some dilatory tactics by the democrats, with assistance trom several republicans, the previous ques ton was ordered, 102 to 9. Mr. Olmsted explained that his resolution was offered not in antagonization of any of the apportion- ment bil 8, tut in 0.d r that the reapportio ment might be based upon coustitutional provisions. Mr. Underwood of Alabama made & warm speech in opposition to the resolution. He had hoped, he said, that such a resolution would not. appear in the house. The real purpose of the fourteenth amendment had been to enfranchise the negro. It ha falled. The fifteenth amendment had been successful for a time, but in the end it had proven a lamentable fallure. Both amendments had been mistakes, not only to the democrats, but to the republican party. The time had come now, after the bitterness of the war was over, when the people of the south in fairness and in jus- tice to themselves and (o the negro race were trylng not to oppress the negro race, but only to project themselves and their property against maladministration He admonished his friends from the north that they did not live among the negroes and did not understand the problem to be solved. “Wo of the south,” sald he, ad- dressing the majority, “‘are trying to solve it faithtully to both races, and I appeal to you, if you are in favor of upbullding the negro ruce, if you are in favor of protecti the investments which the north has sent there, to send this resolution to a commits tee and let It die there.” Mr. McDermott of New Jersoy insisted that there was not a state in the union which had not added to or subtracted from the constitutional requirements. He pointed out the qualifications added by the state of Pennsylvania. He denounced the action as an “attempt to stir up sectional strife.” Cry of Sectionalism Ralned Mr. Williams of Massachusetts said that of recent years some of the people of the south had listened to the siren voice of the north that sectionalism was dead. This would pluck from the eyes of those who had been partly deceived the veil that had heen placed over them. After declaring that the resolution was stupid and impracticable and citing the voting requirements. of varioys other states he made an ardent de- fense of the course of Mississippl and other southern states. “There is no man who loves American civilization,” said he, “who I8 not glad in bis heart that by constitutional and legal methods, analogous to those in Massa- chusetts. Rhode Island and other states, the south has solved this troublesome and al- most unsolvable problem. ' Mr. Olmsted, the author of the resolution, sald he did not whnt the resolution to die’ and would prefer its raference to the cen- sus committee, it the chairman of that committee would agree to call (25 commit- teo together to consider it within one weok. Chairman Hopkins said he was not in the mood to make a “bargain” today, but as- sured Mr. Olmsted that his committee would do its duty. Mr. Olmsted then made the motion to refer and it was carried with- out dlvision. Mr. Hopkins immediately called up the reapportionment bill and opened the de- bate in a careful explanation of his bill, He »l that the majority of the census com- mittee favored keeping the membership down to the present number, 357, from con- siderations of economy and diligent legisla- tion. Mr Shafroth of Colorado wanted Mr. Hopkins to explaln how it was that Colo- Bad Coughs There are hundreds of cough medicines which relieve coughs, all coughs, except bad ones!

The membership | was arbitrarily fixed 7. which mado the basis of representation 208868. Dividing the population of the states by this di vision, 335 members were assigned. The | other twenty-two were assigned to those having the largest major fractions. The states which were opposing this bill, he sald, wero those which lost representa- tives under its operation. He claimed that the bill of the majority showed favoritism to Nebraska and Maine, each of which would lose one represen‘ative under the basis of the figures prepared by the di- rector of the census for a house of 386 members Those two members, he sald, were do liberately fiiched by th w York and Pennsylvania. He declared that a more unfair bill was never pre- sented to the house than that fathered by the gentleman from Maine (Burleigh) The Burleigh bill, he =aid, gave Maine a representative for each 173,617 inhab ttants. If this ratio were taken in New York, Pennsylvania and Illinols, New York would have five, Pennsylvania three and Illinols three more than the bill allows t Burleigh bill from m Mr. 8hafroth of Colorado followed, citing | the case of Colorado, which would get an additional member if the house was to con- sist of 366 or 358, but would lose the ad- ditional member at to show that the system upon which the bill was predicated was unjust. He contended also that a larger house was not a menace to legisla- tion and cited the popular assemblage of European parliaments to show that a larger house would not be cumbersome, At 5 o'cloek the house adjourned PHILIPPINE POLICY AGAIN Old Siraw Threshed bate on Bill Provid Senn n De- & for Army Reorganization, | the property of the United State | protect THE OMAIHA DATLY BEE J ATURDAY, over a portion # Wellington Mr. Carter replied that what the dent had done as to the Alaskan boundary bad been nccomplished through a modus vivendi, a purely temporary arrangement 1t is nevertheless a fact,” declared Mr Wellington, “that territory over which wa had undisputed sovereignty hos been aban- doned.

That is the fact.” of Alaska?" inquired Mr presi Mr. Carter—That is the alleged fact, only Mr. Wellington, continuing, said the Alaskan boundary was distinctly marked | by stones and the territory acquired by the United States from Russia was clearly “If the president should be impeached if he relinquished territory in the Philip- | pines, ho should likewise be impeached for relinquishing sovereigaty in Alaska “Do you approve of the relinquishment of territory In Alaska?" Inquired Mr. Car- ter. “1 do not.”” replied Mr. Wellington. Mr. Carter—Then do you approve of a | relinquishment of the Phillppines? Mr. Wellington—That is quite a different matter Mr. Carter declured it was the intention of the United States to malntain the laws in the Philippines, to restore order and to property. Beyond that point con- gress would determine what the ultimate | disposition of the islands would be. Mr. Teller of Colorado sharply criticised the pending measure as the entering wedge for a large standing army. “You'll want not 100,000 men,” he clared, “but you'll want 200,000, and will want them for a hundred years. This measure is not intended merely to meot an emergency, but to fix upon the country a great standing army.” Mr. Teller said it would be easily pos- sible to pass a bill in forty-elght hours that would provide for an army of 100,000 men or 200,000 men for service in the Phil- Ippines, provided It was made to apply to | purely emergency service and for a definite limited time. He attacked the Philippine | commission, now in Manila, for legislating | for people In whom they had no interest “The czar of Russia,” sald he, “is an ab- de- you solute czar. He has a council of sixty —_— men who sit with him, but these men are WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—For five hflul“y"m‘.hl“‘_ They have the sympathy and today the senate discussed the army reor- | aunivions of Russians.

The Philippine question over at great length, but points were advanced. It was urged by the supporters of the army bill that the situation in the Philippines demanded the increase of the army proposed. This was converted by the opposition senators, who, while they were williog, in a general way, to provide for such temporar force as might be needful, were vigorously op- posed (o the creation of a permanent stand- ing army of 100,000 men. Speeches were made by Mr. Carter of Montana, Mr. Teller of Colorado, Mr. Hoar | of A" ssachusetts, Mr. Stewart of Nevada and Mr. Caffery of Louisiana. One of the sharpest colloquies of the session was be- tween Mr. Carter and Mr. Wellington of Maryland, and in the course of it the Alas- kan boundary dispute was brought forward prominently, the Maryland senator charging that the president had relinquished sover- eignty over territory, the title to which he malntained was vested clearly in the United States, Mr. Hoar advanced a proposition to create a commission to be composed of all shades of political opinion to investigate the en- tire Philippine question and report its findings to congress in order that a basis might be formed for intelligent action. Some slight progress was made toward the completion of the pending measure. Mr. Jones of Arkansas offered a resolu- tion directing the committee on military affalrs to inquire upon what alleged facts the (harges against Major Helsland of the United States army, by Erastus L. Hawkes, are based and report to the semate. He sald the charges made by Hawkes against Major Helsland were matters of common knowledgo to newspaper readers, An army officer had been removed because of some alloged bad conduct. The charges Indicated that the afmy officer who remained in the service was as guilty as he who was re- moved. 1f 8o, he ought to be removed too. The resolution finally was referred to the committee on military affairs Pettigrew d the hilip The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. | Pettigrew calling for information with ref crence to the Philippines was referred to the committee on Philippines, after a speech by Mr. Pettigrew, who sald the president maintained there was no war in the Philippines. The military committee declared that war existed there and that at least 60,000 men would be required to suppress the rebellion. “As the president and the military committee disagree,” sald Mr. Pettigrew, “it seems to me we ought to have the facts before we create an army | of 100,000 men. " He hoped the resolution would not be sent to “t) .t graveyard, the Philippine committee,” but it was so referred Senator Henry . Lodge of Massachu- setts favorably reported from the com- mittee on forelgn relations the following | resolution and asked for its immediate con- sideration ‘That In the opinion of this body the tine has come when the prineiple, twice affiirmed was threshed tew really new In international treaties for ‘Central Africa that native races shouid be protecte against the destructive trafe in intox cants, should be extended to all uncivil peoples by the enactment of such the making of such treatles 4 fectually prohibit the sale by the powers to aboriginal tribes races of oplum and Intoxica Mr. Sewell expressed a to more light thrown upon the resolution as it was about to be sent to the calendar the New Jersey senator said he had wish to delay the resolution and it adopted, The army bill Mr. Carter asked aws o will slgnat ry nd unelvilizel ng beverag desiry have but no was was then taken up unanimous consent and that the unobjected committee amendments in the bill be considered and passed upon Mr. Pottigrew objected, declaring that as his efforts to obtain information from the regular channels had been thwarted be proposed to have time to obtain it in some other way. Mr. Wellington of Maryland demanded to know the intention of the administra- tion with referemce to the Philippine islands. If it was to force an annexation of the Philippines, then a large army would He declared the country had been assured at the beginning of the Phil- ippine trouble that it could be put down in fivo to six weeks, yet the sltuation Is worse than ever. “Ihose people cannot be put down,” clared Mr. Wellington. *ls It the purpose of the adminisiration to try to deprive them of selt-government? If so, 1 am op- posed to any Increase of the army.” In reply, Mr. Carter sald the pith of Mr. Wellington's question was that the ad- ministration, to satisfy him, must declare its present and future policy with respect to the Philippines, de- “The senator can comsult the record of congress for an answer to his question,” sald Mr. Carter. The president has no authority to de de what shall be done with the Philip- pines.” The moment the treaty of peace was ratified,” sald Mr. Carter, “that moment it became the supreme law of the land. 1t the president had refused to maintain the soverelgnty of the United States there he would have' laid himself lable to impeach- | vote to m {to show have no place there at all. Their actions aré the worst form of imperialism.” Mr. Caffery inquired whether in the cir- cumstances Mr. Teller would vote to main- tain the authority of the United States in the Philippines. Teller Will Vote for More Men. “As Mr. Lincoln announced in regard to the Mexican war,” replied the Colorado senator, “a war that he did not believe | ho would vote for such a force as the gov- necded. So I have no doubt that as long as our flag floats in the Philippine archipelago I will (reluctant as I may be) intain the army and the flag. If that is fllogical it s illogical because there 1s no better way out of it.” Mr. Proctor said he thought the Colorado senator was under a misapprehension as to what the army bill proposes to do. As he regarded the matter the maximum force au- thorized by the bill was to be used only in the present emergency and there would bo a return to the minimum of 54,000, which was the peace footing force of the bill. No one could tell when more troops might be needed in Alaska, Hawail or Porto Rico Likewise there was the possibility of the need of a larger American force in Cuba at the reuest of the Cubans themselves. And as for the Philippines, no one could doubt that for a considerable time, even If all de- mands should be granted, a large force of our troops must be kept in those islands. Mr. Jones of Arkansas usked Mr. Proctor it he would cousent to an amendment limit- ing the maximum of troops authorized o the present exigency, striking out of the bill ernment the provision, “or until congress may other- wise direct.’ Mr. Proctor replied that individuaily he would be willing to have the provision modifled so as to make it read “‘until con- gress otherwise directs.” He sald, how- ever, that he had no authority to speak for the committec. It had not occurred to him that thero was any chance that the maxi- um force would be used after the expira- tion of the present emergency. Mr. Culberson read an extract from Pres ident McKinley's letter of acceptance of his second nomication, in which the pres ident said that but for the false hopo arcused in the hearts of the Filipinos by democratic campalgn promises a consid- erable reduction of the army in the Phil- ippines could then have been effected. In view of this statement and the fact that the election had resulted in favor of the republicans it should be possible to make the reduction suggested by the president Mr. Hoar suggested a general amend- ment to the bill looking to the conciliation | of the Filipinos and expressed the opinion that In time of peace we should bave one soldier to each 1,000 of our population. He id not, therefore, he said, oppose the biil | on the score of increase, but he did oppose it because of the avowed policy -of the military control of the Philippines. It Is 1dle,” he said, “to tell us that the people are not fit for self-government He quoted the president and naval officers that the Filipinos a an intelli- gent people and added: “The way to pre pare them for liberty is to set them free." What Honr Th Mr. Hoar said that if the facts could be known there would be no two oplnions as to what we should do in the Philippines, for he belleved that If the people were gen- erally convinced that the Filipinos we as capable of self-government as they are they would make no effort to continue the subjugation of those people in the interest of trade. Mr. Hoar urged that it would have been most desirable to have appointed a ommission representing all phases of political lifo—men of the highest character and standing—to ascertain the facts as to the Philippines and make them known to congress and to the publie, He hoped such a commission would be appointed befors the close of the present session. We should give the Filipinos a hearing. He sald “Let them state their case. They can come and go in peace and honor. It we say te the Filipinos that we will not consider thelr case until they go down on their knees, lay their hands upon their hips and their lips in the Adust, this war will go on, If there is a spark of spirit and principle in their breasts, until every Filipino of one sex Is oxterminaied and until the women among them teke up the fight and are ex terminated also.’ Mr. Stewart of Nevada supporied the pending bill, The rebellion, he declared, should be crushed as an Indian uprising in the west would be; and in the end liberty and its blessings would be extend to the people of the Philippines. Mr. Caffery of Loulsiana argued against tho pencing bill, denouncing the operation of a large, permanent standing army The senate then devoted an hour or more in perfecting the army bill by the addition of part of the committee amendments to which no objection was ralsed Among the Be Done. 50 amendments passed over for future con- sideration was that relating to the estabs lishment of a veterinary corps Mr. Tillman had made an explana- tion of an error into which he had fallen yvesterday in his statement concerning.the transportation home of soldiers discharged in a forelgn country the senate, at o: p. m. on motion of Mr. Pettigrew, went After ment." “Has be not already given up soverelgnty into executive session, and at 5:30 p. m. ad- Journed. | ments as relate to clas | only at the loss of needed traffic, | 1.« LAW IN NEED OF ;\,\IF,.\'D“EA\'T‘ Interstate Commerce Commission Again Urges Action Upon Congress, SPIRIT OF MEASURE DAILY VIOLATED More Stringent Necess anry, Together with for Vielations Supervision WASHINGTON, The annual report of the Interstate commission was sent to congress today Attention is called by the necessity for further legislation amend- fourteenth Commerce Jpn.

Knowledge of present conditions | and tendencies, they say, Increascs rather than lessens the necessity for legislative action upon the lines already indicated and in such other directions as will furnish an adequate and workable statute for the regulation of commerce “‘among the several states.” “It is evident,” the report says, “that railroad managers generally have made no attempt to conform their practices to the Spirit of the law. They may keep within | Its letter and succeed in avolding its p alties, but they claim that they virtu- ally compelled to counteract its aim and evade its obsesvance. Thus it happens that some of the most fmportant and useful in- cldents of raflway service are maintained by methods which are believed to be in- harmonious with, if not In actual violation of, a federal statute. This is more than the question of pooling contracts between rival carriers—it s the question of such agree- fication, terminal concerning which of the charges, and uniformity, manifest public. the like certainty and stability are benefit and convenience to Discriminntions Oceur. “Under the conditions now existing it 's inevitable that frequent discriminations should occur and endless acts of injustice be committed. Theoretically it is possible for each road to observe its published | schedules in every particular, but this in mwany cases must be done, i{f done at all, unless all rival roads with equal strictness and hon- esty conform in like manner to their pube lished rates. The idea of publlc regulation implies certain’ standards of correct con- duct to which all carriers shall conform. It also implies some measure of €uper- vision and control over those subject to its requirements, to the end that these | standars may be observed and practices nade to conform thereto. This, without doubt, is inconsistent some degree at least, with actual and constant competition as that term is commonly understood “'The policy now pursued cannot and will ot prevent an outcome of vicious diserimi- nations. And what | unfortunate of all, those discriminations favor the few and place the many at disadvantage. They aid the strong, who have no meed of as- sistance, and. handicap the weak with burdens which, by comparison, are always nost unjust and oftén destructive. “The presept state of the law has un doubtedly furnished a great incentive to the consolidation or unification of rival lines, which # at once the most conspieus ous and most significant result of current railroad finegelering.” HOLLOW, BEAR WANTS FILLING He and un.-.- Chiefs Profest Agninst S Ra WASHINGTON, gram.)

Dairy Commissioner Blackburn of Ohio snid he had found it almost impossible to successfully prosecute infractions of the oleomargarine law in the large cities of Ohio, owing to the partiality of some people for that product because of the influence of the oleomargarine dealers with the press and also because of their status as Jurymen. At the afternoon session of the committee Henry C. Pirrung, manager of the Capital City Dairy company of Columbus, O., op- posed the bill and in doing o said the so- called “natural butter” is nothing less than manufectured product.
