WASHINGTON, March For _ three hours today the seniate had under consid- eration the bill providing for the pretec- tlon of the president of the United States and for the punishment by United States coufts of those who commit assaults on him. Mr. Bacon of Georgla opposed the bill and Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts and Mr. Mason ot Illinois supported it. Mr. Bacon's ar- gument followed the lnes of his speech de- livered ten days ago. Mr., Hoar's speech was largely legal snd cobstitutional, He maintained the ght of the government to protect itself against assaults upon its sovereignty through thie president. Mr. Mason made an attack upon @narchy and its methode and incidentslly sharply criticised an amendment to the bill offered by Mr. Bacon. He denounced it as opening the door to special plegding for the benefit of asgassins of the prestdent. This drew Mr. Bacon's fire. He cousldered Mr. Mason's criticlsm a personal reflection on himself ' and resented it with heat. An explanation by the Illinois senator cleared the atmos- phere. Another Antmiated Debate.

Contrary to his vsual custom Mr. Hepburn found several things in the bill to commend, al- though some of his criticisms were quite severe. The other speakers today were Mess Ball of Texas, and Lawre of Massac! setts, botb members of the committee, and Messrs. White of Kentucky, Thompson and Burnett, Alabama, who spoke In favor of improvements to their districts. It was agreed that general debate on the bill should close tomorrow at 3 o'clock Saturday, April 26, was set aside for me- morial services, in memory of Represen garding the prescription from which this remedy for curing lost manhood is pre- pared.

Thirty-nine private pension bills were passed and the calendar cleared. The unfinished business—the bfll for the protection of the presideat of the United States, then was lald befors the senate. Mr. Pettus of Alabama said he would be forced to vote agalngt the bill, as he ob- jocted to the re-énactment of the old sedi- tion laws. Mr. Bacon of Georgia offered an amend- ment to the first paragraph of the bill pro- viding the penalty ot death for an president if the assault on the presi- nt were committed “because of his offi- clal position or for the purpose of destroy- ing the goverament or impairing the exer- cise of its mnlt-\lfi Briefly discussitig’ Vest of Missourt ted the possibility of & federal jury acquitting an assassin of the president, because the motive as specl- fied by Mr. Bacon's amendment had not been proved. In such a case he asked, would the sssassin be llable to indictment under the state laws? To Distingulsh Between Crim Mr. Bacon said an assault on the presi- t might be s crife against the person nd it might be & crime against the govern- ment. The pu of his amendment was intended to differentiate bBetween the two crimes. Mr. Bacon contended that an assault on the president as a person, ought to be pu: ished precisely as any similar offense agalnst any other citisen was punished, otherwise an official olass would be created in the United States. The foundation stons of our government, he maintained, was ab- solute equality under the law. Mason of Illinols sald the pending bill was but the formation and shape of public opinion, which fhrice been aroused by the murder of the t. To his mind it was & well and_ thoroughly matured measui e amendment of- fered by Mr. Bacon, he though, was not warranted by the conditions or by the law. Mr. Mason, declared that the pending bill was in accordance with the wishes of the people and they were right in demanding such legislation, Penalty Not Too Severe. “The cowards and sneaks,” he insisted, ho take the advice they recelve in dark halls and kill the president of the United States, ought to pay the pedaity as pro- vided in this bl He sald the present was & bad time to 8x special pleading for an- arch oriminals. - Thelr crimes were against 70,000,000 people and when they struck down the pr t nmm people wept.

When Mr. Hepburn of lowa, who has fought river and harbor bills ever since he came to congress, arose to speak there was an outburst of applause on both sides of the house. “I ariee to make my annual contribution to river and harbor literature, with a mis: sortment of motions,” he began. “I recognize,” he continued, “the utter futility of saylng anything against this bill. I recognized the fact years ago, when the pork in the barrel was only $8,000,000. How manifestly impossible is it to make head- way against it now that the appropriations find in connection with the presentation of the pending bill some things to commend ~—a rare thing In my experience. We have at the head of the river and harbor com- mittes an ideal chairman for the purposes in view—one who, I belleve, is striving to secure public rather than private benefits, one looking for the weifare of this great nation and the promotion of its commerce, not the elevation of A, B or C to seats upon this floor.” - (Applause.) Mr. Hepburn commended the committee for taking the “‘back track’ upon wasteful expenditures in certain directions, pointing out the abandonment of further improve- ments of the Missourl river as a final ful- fillment of predictions made eighteen years ago. He sald that congress should set a defi- fite limit upon the depth of water sought to be obtained in seaport harbors—thirty teet, for instance—and place & limit upon naval architecture. Otherwise, he de- clared, there would be no end to the depth of water which would ba demanded. Speaking of the Hennepin canal Mr. Hep- burn admitted that he had voted for it. “But considering the mental penance I bave undergone since,” eaid he, “and my infancy and ignorance when I cast the vote it will not go as hard with me as with a hard-headed old sinner like my friend from Illinols (Mr. Reeves) if he should attempt: to indulge in another such freak of legis- lation. (Laughter.) The camal was projected to get the produce of the farmers of Iowa to the Great Lakes,” suggested Mr. Reeves. “Quite true,” retored Mr. Hepburn, “but the farmers of that day are all dead, while the {ncompleted canal continues to draw its annual appropriations from the treasury.” (Renewed laughter.)

Wal- ler and Lieutenant John H. A. Day of the marine corps on the charge of executing natlves of the Island of Samar without trial held its first session today. Major Waller was represented by Captain Arthur T. Marix of the marine corps, Ma- jor Edwin F. Glenn of the army and Mr. Sutro, a lawyer. General William H. Bisbee presided. Cap- taln Marix pleaded that the court lacked Jurisdiction, as marines cannot be tried by the army, except when attached to that service, whereas Major Waller returned to duty with the marines in February, though the acts charged occurred in January, and consequently the army had voluntarily for- teited its right to a trial. The orders of either General Chaffee, Sec- retary Long or the president, Captain Marix asserted, were not sufficient to legal- ize the proceedings. The court, after a lengthy consideration of the matter, decided that the point was well taken, General Chaffee is now considering the court's decision and probably will leave the final decision to the authorities at Washing- ton. The court in the meanwhile is held swalting orders. The officers composing the court are: Ma- ring corps, Colonel James Forney, Colonel Mancll C. Goodrell, Colonel Otway C. Ber- ryman, Major Willlam P. Biddle, Captatn Ell K. Cole and Captaln Robert M. Gilson. Army: Colonel Cyrus S. Roberts, Colos George C. Allison, Colonel A. Smith, Major A E. B. Robertson and Captain Sampson L. Fatson. The judge advocate is Major Henry P. Kingsbury of the Third cavalry. INTIMATION PEACE IS NEAR Ex-President Kruger rtly Sail for Africa Bear!

BHAMOKIN, Pa., March 15.—~The most im- portant conmvention of hard coal miners since that which resulted in the memorable strike of 1900, began here tod likely to remain in session until The three anthracite coal distri technically as districts 1, 7 and 9, United Mine Workers' of America, are represented by over 600 delegates, the majority of whom presented their credentials. The remainder are expected tomorrow. President John Mitchell arrived from Al- toona early today and was met by & large delegation of the miners. The failure of the operators to meet the officials of the miners' union was the principal topio of discussion among the delegates prior to the convention. Many of them are persisten in their demand for recognition of the unlon, but the impression prevalls that if other concessions are made by the operators the matter of recognition will be permitted to rest. R. M. Basley of New York, secretary of the civic federation, who came here today had a briet consultation with President Mitchell and left shortly afterward for New York. No Bearing on Srtuation. Mr. Basley and Mr. Mitchell both said the Interview had no bearing upon the situation in the anthracite region. The two members of the conciliation commit- tee of the civic federation, and Mr. Mitchell sald the consultation related to the Boston strike, The convention merely organized today and the proceedings were simply pre- liminary to the more fmportant work as follows: It is next to impossible to obtaln an idea of the wishos of the delegates. Die- triet No. 1, comprising the Lackawanha and Wyoming regions, where there is said to be much di fon, practically con- trols the situation and should the di gates from this district declare for a strike the remaining districts would be compélled to accept the laevitable. According to Secretary Hartlein of dis- trict No. 9, the Shamokin distriot, thete are 144,000 mine workers in the anthracite reglon, and 98 per cent of these are mem- bers of the United Mine Workers of America. District No, 1, comprising Lacka- wanna, upper Luserne and Wyoming coun- ties, contains 176 local branches, with a representation of about 350 delegates in the convention. There are fifty-four locals in district No. 7, which includes lower Luzerte and portions of Schuylkill and Carbon coun- ties. District No. 9, comprising lower Schuylkill, Dauphin and Columbia countles, is entitled to something over 200 delegates. This district sends 100 delegates. No Fight f Although officlal ecognition. atements concerning the probable action of the convention are difficult to obtaln, it Is intimated by some of the officials that recognition of the union will not be the chief issue. There will be many grievances to be considered of more importance, it is sald, than recognition of the union as & region and each delegate will_shave one vote for each 100 members he represents, but no delegate can have more than five votes. ‘When noticec were sent to the locals the members were urged to furnish only in- telligent and careful men to act as dele- gates. This is expected to result in a better deliberative body than ever before, but it is felt that at no time have the questions pending been more momentous to the miners or to the country. Among the matters to be brought to the attention of the convention are the reports of President Mitchell and his assistants in their efforts to settle existing differences with the operators and the replles they recelved. The elght-Lour day, recognition of the union, grievances of firemen and many other questions of vital importance will also be considered. It is stated that the combined treasuries of the three districts now contain $400,000. President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers said he was not in touch with the ——meeegeegy GOLDEN BROWN, The Color Sought in Coffee. ‘When a person has been shown that & change in food or drink can make and keep one well it is a thing not likely to be torgotten.

Concerning the refusal of the operators to meet the miners Mr. Mitohell sald the let- ters he had received would be presented to the convention, but he could not say ‘whether ! would be made public. “The Jetters,” sald Mr. Mitehell, “‘contained the usual reasons given by operators when they object to meeting labor unions. Soom after his arrival Mr. Mitchell held a consultation with the district officers. District President Fahey of the Ninth district called the convention to order at 2:15. President Mitchell was unanimously selected as permanent chairman. President Mitchell made a brief address, in which he sald he boped the miners would be able to secure redress for their wronge without recourse to the methods of 1000.
