(5] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1896. PLANS FOR Th 316 CONVENTION Republicans Getting Ready for the Rally at St. Louis. SUB-COMMITTEE MEETS. Sergeants-at-Arms Selected and a Contract Made for a Building. ACCOMMODATIONS TO BE GOOD. Friends of Presidential Candidates in the Field Express Their Preferences. ., Jan. 20.—The sub-com- mittee de v the Republican Na- nal Committee to perfect arrangements for the Republican National Convention on June 16 met at the Southern Hotel noon to-day. ve members of the ommittee were present. They were: tiam Hahn of Ohio, Powell Clayton of nsas, R. C. Kerens of Missouri, J. S. larkson of Iowa and Joseph H. Manley . M : holds the proxy of homas Carter of Montana, Tanner has the proxy of William C. Payne of his State. The other notable Republicans in attendance were: H. T. Swords of Iowa, sergeant-at-arms of the tional Committee; J. E. Biythe, the Iowa er of Senator Allison, and Chauncey ore the committee cutive session was the matter of ad- the proxies. It was finally decided nize the proxies as presented. The candidates for sergeants-at-arms were pre- sented by their respective friends and an in 1al ballot taken. This was followed by 2 formal ballot and T. B. Byrnes of inneapolis was elected by a vote of 4 to George N. Wissell of Milwaukee was elected first assistant sergeant-at-arms by a unanimous vote and W. W. Johnson of Baltimore second assistant sergeant-at- arms. The contract with the Business Men’s League on behalf of St. Louis was ratified and formally accepted. Av 2 r. M. the committee took a recess until 4 o’clock, when Fresident S. M. Ken- nard of the Business Men's Leagie pre- sented the finished plan for the recon- struction of position Hall. This pro- vides for the use of the north nave of the building running from Thirteenth to Four- streets and about ninety feet in pth. Over 12,000 people can be seated. The platform will be a half circle, and im- mediately in front are tables for the press. In the basement will be located the tele- graph-room, with pneumatic tubes run- ning to the press section above. A new feature is the separation of the spectators’ galleries from the seats allotted to celegates. The plans show fourteen exits. The committee expressed great satisfaction at the plan and will makea versonal inspection of the hall to-morrow. It is not probable that the sub-committee will conclude its work before Wednesday. All the leading candidates for the Re- publican Presidential nomination except Governor Morton of New York have out- spoken frienas among the sub-committe men of the Republican National Comm tee. Mr. anley of Maine advocates Speaker Reed; Mr. Hahn of Onio is nur- turing Governor McKinley’s chances; General Clarkson of lowa is looking out for Senator Allison, and Colonel Kerens of souri is known to have a strong liking for General Harrison; Mr. Tanner of Illi- nois, proxy for Committeeman Campbell, zeeps Senator Cullom in view, and General vton of Arkansas manifests more en- thusiasm for McKinley than does even the average Ohioan. John B. Blythe, Senator Allison’s man- ager in Iows, is among the visitors. nator Aliison is the idol of lowa Re- publicans, and we will send a powerful and enthusiastic delezation here for the convention in June,” said Mr. Blythe. “‘His re-election to the Senate without the least opposition shows how the people of Towa are at his back, and weZfeel confident of his nomination for President after the convention gets tired of the struggle be- tween McKinley and Reed.” William M. Hahn will be here during the cornvention week and handle Governor McKinley's campaign. He says McKin- ley will have a strong Southern following and thinks he will win on the first ballot. Mr. Man! said: “I am not talking politics now, but I suppose everybody knows tnat my choice for the Presidency is Speaker Reed of Maine.” Mr. Tanner said: “Senator Cullom is qualified for any office in the gift of this country, but, as he emphatically declares he is not a candidate for the Presidency, I think Illinois will be for McKinley.” e PLANS OF THE SILVER MEN, At the Conference They Will Creale a New Party. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20.—Promi- nent members of the Bimetallic League are arriving to attend the conference to be held Wednesday. General A, J. Warner, one of the leading spirits, said to THE CALL correspondent to-night: “‘We desire to co-operate with members of any party who, seeing time for supreme action has arrivea, are willing to enlist for this campaign under the banner of the white metal. Silver men can win this race by united action.” Warner says be thinks well of the action of the Populist National Committee at St. Louis, adyocating the placing of a Na- tional silver ticket in the field after the old parties have held their conventions. There is now little doubt that the confer- ence of “silver men Wednesday means the launching of a new party into the political arena. In fact, a new party may be looked for Thursday morning. In the interview with Warner, who Is president of the American Bimetallic League, enough was said to show what is to be the programme. The free silver men are already arriving. Among them here, pesides Warner and ex-Governor Toole of Montana, are R. McIntosh of Utah, President Wardall of the California Grange, and George P. McKenney of Cali- fornia. A big delegation is expected from Chicago to-morrow. W. Hi Harvey has been invited and is expected to be present. In lacnching the new party the silver men have made up their minds to go to the country on the single issue of tinance, and to put all other questions aside until that one is settled. L% WHAT THE CITIES SPENT. It Cost Money to Bida for the Democratic Convention. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 20.—A Sun special from Washington says: The ex- pense account of the chairmen of the dele- gations from the four cities competing for the Democratic National Convention shows that Chicago expended $175; Cin- cinnati, $1800; New York, $2200; and St. Louis, $1500. Each delegation established headquarters at the Arlington Hotel, and the amounts stated were actually expended in connection with the maintenance of the respective headquarters. It is said that not a bottle of liquor or a cigar was ordered for the Chicago headquarters, the expense being for the rental of a room, the decorations and a faw incidental expenditures for the two or three gentlemen who had charge of the Chicago boom. Cincinnati did not reach the scene of action until the night before the committee assembled, yet the “Queen City” was not lacking in that style of hospitality that delights the hangers-on around a political gathering, but which does not have the slightest effect upon the members of the committee who are to finally decide the contest. St. Louis was a liberal entertainer, and it is understood that the delegation from that city had prepared to food the Arlington Hotel with champagne had the result been as -she anticipated. St Louis sent bouquets of beautiful flowers to New York, and the New Yorkers returned the compliment by sending a basket of champagne to the St. Louis headquarters. The friendly exchanges were made prior to the meeting of the committee. New York headquarters was the banner spender, but it now appears that she never had a chance to win, for some of the committee- men who voted for her on the early ballots were prepared to swing over to Chicago as soon as New York began to look dan- gerous. - — -ELECT ALLISON. The Iowa Legislature to Select a United States Senator To-Day. DES MOINES, Iowa, Jan. 20.—To-mor- row morning both Houses of the Legisla- ture will ballot in separate session for United Senator to succeed Benator Allison and he will get all the Republican votes. The Democrats will vote for Judge W. I. Babb of Mount Pleasant, their candidate for Governor last fall. He will be nomin- ated by T. G. Harper of Burlington in the Senate, and Captain N. A, Merrill in the House. On Wednesday at noon the two Houses will meet in joint session and on a joint rollcall Atlison will be finally elected. ALL THE CHARGES FALSE, Every Assertion Made by Lord Dunraven Refuted by the Witnesses. There is No Longer Any Reason for Secrecy Concerning the Com- mittee’s Proceedings. NEW YORK Jan. 20.—The Her- ald this morning prints a four-page at- stract of the testimony taken before the New York Yacht Club’s special committee on the chaerges made by Lord Dunraven. It says: The distinguished gentlemen ap- pointed by the New York Yacht Club to investigate the charges made by Lord Dunraven against the Defender held their sessions in private. The reasons for secrecy may have been good at that time. They can be no longer good, when all who have had any evidence to give have given it. The evidence is so overwhelmingly con- clusive that it renders superfluous the report of the committee itself. Itadmits of only one yerdict—that the charges are utterly and totally false. The testimony given at the headquarters of the com- mittee makes more than 500 pages of printed matter. Lord Dunraven’s charges, as will be seen by a perusal of the testimony, were based solely on misleading observations by him- self and others who were associated with him on the Valkyrie, '‘he deductions of fraud which he m from them were proved to be utterly false by an over- whelming mass of testimony offered on behalf of Mr. Iselin by those who spoke with absolute knowledge. In the face of such superabundance of irrefutable proof, much of which was given after Lord Dunraven had sailed for home, even his own counsel, Mr. Askwith, would not assume the responsibrity that Lord Dunraven would still persist in believing that his accusations were true. In one im- vortant particular Latham A. Fish of the America’s cup committee flatiy contra- dicted Lord Dunraven. In another weighty matter A. Cass Canfield and Archibald Rogers, also members of the cup committee, gave testimony in which they were sustained by corroborative evi- dence that was diametrically opposite to that given by Lord Dunraven on'the same subject. —_— GUIDED BY A SPIRIT. “ Hammond the Healer”” Finds Time to Conduct a Farm. CHICAGO, IrL., Jan. 20.—A special from Belvidere, 111, says: Wilbur F. Hammond, or “Hammond the healer,” which is the appellation by which he is better known, spent Sunday in Belvidere at the hLouse of a friend whom he had successfully treated. He was besieged through the day by the lame, halt and blind, and he treated ali he could and gave readings. There is nothing strange in Hammond’s appearance unless it be his long, curly bair, which would cause him to be dis- tingnished from other men in any a1 semblage. He was brought up on a small farm a few miles north of this city. At present he is conducting the farm, although recently his time has been so occupied that he expects to give up the active management of the e. Hammond is ver{l modest in his- be- havior, and, although the cures attributed to his powers are little short of miraculous, he takes no credit upon himself. He makes no charge whatever for his effort, and, while he makes no_ claim to the supernatural, he states that the same vower .which Christ exercised with his disciples still exists. He treats his pa- tients somewhat on the sgle of a magnetic healer, except that he always goes into a trance, at which time 'he claims to be under the direction of the spirit of a deaa German fihyumln. He says there are also Irish and Swedish spirits, which endeavor to get control of him at such times, and that it is very difficult to pre- vent himself from being brought under their influence. Hammond is almost con- tinually in & trance-like state, and the strain is beginning to_ tell upon his ner- vous system. He speaks of being able to transmit his powers by means of l:ge spirit world to others of his followers, but none will listen to the least though looking toward the surrendering of his remarbable attainments, MONROE DOCTRINE IN THE SENATE, Davis’ Resolution Protests Against Encroachment in America. PRINCIPLES AFFIRMED. The Report Not Unanimous and So It Is Placed on the Calendar. SEWELL TALKS FOR LIMITATION. Passage of the Bill to Support Schools of Mines in the Pacific Coast States. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20.—The decision. of the Senate Committee on For- eign Relations as to the extent and mean- ing of the Monroe doctrine, and as to its applicability to the Venezuelan dispute, was presented to the Senate to-day through Davis (R.) of Minnesota, by whom it was originaily drawn up in the shape of a concurrent resolution. It makes both houses of Congress reaffirm and confirm the Monroe dootrine and its principles, and declares that the United States will deem any attempt by a Eu- ropean power to acquire new or additional territory on the American continents or adjacent islands, or any easement in any interocean canal, as dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States. One member of the Committee on Foreign Re- lations, Gray (D.) of Delaware, remarked that it was not the unanimous report of the committee. The concurrent resolu- tion was placed on the calendar without discussion. The subject, however, came up immedi- ately afterward in the shape of the resdlu- tion offered last week by Sewell (R.)of New Jersey limiting the application of the Monroe doctrine and condemning the Venezuelan message of President Cleve- land as unwise and inopportune. Sewell addressed the Senute in support of his resolution and argued that President Cleveland’s position was far in advance of what ‘was contemplated in the Monroe doctrine, and that the effect of it would be the establisument of a protectorate over Mexico and over each of the South Amer- ican and Central American States. No action was taken on Sewell’s resolution, but Senators Wolcott (R.) of Colorado and Daniel (D.) of Virginia gave notice of their intention to-address tne Senate upon it next Wednesday and Thursday. No progress was made upon the House bond bill with the free-coinage substitute reported from the Committee on Finance. Jones (D.) of Arkansas, who has charge of it, gave as a reason for not pushing it the fact that several Senators who desired to speak upon it were not yet prepared, and wanted more time to get their speeches, but Hill (D.) of New York hinted that the vote was kept back until after the election of the two Senators from Utah. Numerous petitions were presented in the morning hour and referred to committees in favor of the Stone bill relating to immi- gration, raising the level of the Great Lakes, service pensions, the recognition of Cuban belligerency, the redeeming of greenbacks and reiating to the Transvaal republic. . Davis (R.) of Minnesota, from the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, reported a preamble and resolution reaffirming the Monroe doctrine, and declaring that the United States would assert and maintain the doctrine as follows: Resolved, By the Senate, the House of Repre- sentatives coneurring, that, whereas, President Monroe in his message to Congress of Decem- ber 2, A, D. 1823, deemed it proper to assert as & principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved that the Ameri- can continents, by the free and indepcndent condition which they have assumed and main- tained, were thenceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any Euro- peau power; and whereas, President Monroe further aeclared in that message that the United States would consider any attempt by the allied powers of Europe to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety; that with the existing colonies and dependencies of any European power we have not interfered, and should not interfere, but with the governments who have declared their independence we have on great consideration and just principles ac- knowledged we could not view any interposi- tion for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an uniriendly disposition toward the United States, and fur- ther reiterated in that message that itis im- possible that the allied powers should extend their political system to any portion of each continent without endangering our peace and happiness. And, whereas, the doctrine and policy so proclaimed by President Monroe have since been repeatedly asserted by the United States, by executive declaration and exactation upon occasions and exigencies similar to the particular occasion and exi- gency which caused them to be first an- nounced, and have been ever since their pro- mulgation and are now the rightful policy of the United States. Therefore, be it ZResolved, That the United States of America reaffirs and confirms the doctrine and prin- ciples promulgated by President Monroe in his message of December, 1823, and declares that it will assert and meintain the doctrine and those prineiples, and will regard any infringe- ment thereof and particulary any attempt by any European power to take or acquire any new or additional territory on the American continent, or any island adjacent thereto, or any right or sovereignty or dominionin the same, in any case or instance, as to which the United States shall deem such attempt to be dangerous to its peace or safety, or by or through force, purchase, cession, occupation, pledge, colonization, protectorate, or by con trol of the easement in any canel or any other ‘means of transit across the American isthmus, ‘whether under unfounded pretension of right in cases of alleged boundary disputes, or under any other unfounded disposition toward the United States, and as an interposition which it would be impossible in any form for the United States to regard with indifference. The concurrent resolution was placed on the calendar, Gray (D.) of Delaware, a member of the Committee on Foreign Re- lations, stating that the report was nota unanimous one. Wolcott (R.) of Colorado gave notice that he would address the Senate on the Sewell resolution relative to the Monroe doctrine on Wednesday next. ‘Warren (R.) of Wyoming offered a reso- lution looking to legislation for the pres- ervation of American herds and flocks, and said that he would address the Senate upon it next Thursday. The resolution heretofore offered by Bewell (R.) of New Jersey, placing limita- tions on the Monroe doctrine and con- demning the President’s inessage on the subject, was taken upand Sewell ad- dressed the Senate upon it. The resolu- tion was allowed to remain on the table, Daniel (D.) of Virginia giving notice that he would speak upon it next Thursday. The joint resolution heretofore intro- duced by Cullom (R.)of 1llinois author- izing the employment of a skilled archi- tect to assist the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department in drawing the designs for the public building in Chicago gave Stewart (Pop.) of Nevada sufficient material for a short financial argument. He thought extravagance was the only al- ternative that the people had for getting money out of the treasury, and therefore it People wanted money for public buildings they had better take it now. They could not get it in any other way. The resolu- tion after further discussion was passed— ayes 49, noes 6. The bond bill was then taken up, but after brief discussion that measure and Senator Pugh's resolution (the Stanley Matthews one) both went over for the day. Call (D.) of Florida presented the trans- lation of “The constitution of the new republic of Cuba,” and asked unanimous consent to have it printed as a miscel- laneous document. There being no objec. tions it was so ordered. On motion of Dubois (R.) of Idaho a bill to aia the States of California, Oregon, Washington und South Dakota to support schools of mines by receiving 25 per cent of the monies paid to the United States for mineral lands was taken up and passed. Senator Peffer’s bill to provide for proper disposition of the remains of deceased members of the Senate and House of Representatives who die at the eapital during the sessions of Congress was then taken‘up. Objections to some of the pro- visions of the bill were syggested by Sena- tors Platt (R.)of Connecticut, Hale (R.) of Maine and Faulkner (D.) of West Virginia. 3 Hawley (R.) of Connecticut said that on the first reading of the bill it had struck him as a very cold and cruel bill. It aimed at economy— providing a cheap cof- fin he supvosed—what they called in the army a ‘‘pine overcoat.”” He did not like the reading of the bill at all, although he disliked extravagance. He thought the bill could be cured by two linesn an ap- propriation bill saying that no expense shall be incurred in case of a Senator’s funeral without the approval of the Com- mittee on Contingent Expenses. Hill (D.) of New York asked Peffer | { whether he had ascertained what was the | custom in such cases in the parliaments of Great Britain and the other European na- tions and the State legislatures. Peffer said he had not made such an in- vestigation. Hill also asked whethier the bill applied to Justices of the Supreme Court, to Cabi- net officers, the general of the army and other high officers. Peffer said it did not. He sent to the Clerk’s desk and had read various news- paper clippings in commendation of his bill. One of these was from the Spring- field Republican, and it contained an allu- sion to the supposed ptactice of Senators in the matter of perfumery, bay rum and other perquisites, The reading was interrupted by Hawley (R.) of Connecticut, who said: *If there is any more matter like that let us bury it at once. - The man who wrote that is wholly ignorant of the law in this matter of stationery and all that sort of thing. The fact is that my neighbor of ibe Bprinegfield Republican talks sometimes as though he would be glad to bury the whole of us at the public expense.” (Laughter.) ‘The bill was, on motion of Faulkner, re- ferred to the Committee on Rules. Baker (R.) of Kansas gave notice of an amendmert to the free-coinage substitute for the bond bill restricting coinage to sil- ver mined in the United States. The Senate 2t 4:30 p. M. adjourned until to-morrow. —_——— IT IS TOO INTEMPERATE. Statesmen Who Consider Davis’® tion Inopportune. WASHINGTON, D. Jan. 20.—The Monroe doctrine resolution, reported by Senator Davis of Minnesota from the Foreign Relations Committee,. to-day created a lively discussion among mem- bers of Congress. It finds favor with the radicals, but conservative men in both parties think it is a Iittle too intemperate in its tone. Senator Gray of Delaware, is one of the latter. He said on the Senate floor that he wished it understood that the report from the committee was not unanimous. Two of the Republican members of the committee were also opposed to the reso- lution. Senator Sherman, chairman, and Senator Cullom, a member of the com- mittee, said to Tae CALL correspondent that while they believed in asserting the Monroe doctrine by appropriate resolu- tion, they considered it too intemperately worded and it was inopportune at the present juncture. They approved of the wording of the preamble, but not of the resolution itself. Senator Perking of California said: “I favor the Monroe doctrine, but Davis’ resolution is too strongly worded. It is nadvisable because it is inopportune. I believe firmly in our asserting the doctrine and standing on our rights even if we, have to fight, but do not think we ought to seek trouble. Davis’ resolution might be well enough later on, but it is prema- ture.” Resolu- GENEEAL HARRISON'S PLANS. Will Soon Complete Details of His Mar- riage to Mrs. Dimmick. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 20.—The Tri- bune says this morning: General Harrison has abandoned his idea 6f going to Indian- apolis before the Californiairrigation cases are argued before the United States Su- preme Court in Washington. As the case in which General Harrison is interested will be called up Wednesday or Thursday he thought it would be useless to hurry to his home and then come right back again. Accordingly he will remain in New York until Tuesday or Wednesday and then will 20 to Washington. He will make his stay in Washington as brief as possible, and from there will go to Indianapolis, return- ing the latter partof the month to com- lete the details for his marriage to Mrs. immick. There were yesterday three mem:bers of Mr. Harrison’s former Cabinet in this city —Redfield Proctor, Senator from Vermont, who was Secretarv of War; Stephen B. Elking, Senator from West Virginia, who was also Secretary of War, and John W. Noble of Missouri, who was Secretary of the Interior. All three paid their respects to General Harrison anda congratulated him on his approaching marriage. All of those who have called on him say that he has steadily declined to talk politics. pzisiin At Suicide of @ Convict. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 20.—The State of Missouri is saved the expense of a trial of George Arnold, the convict who killed George Murray, a fellow-convict, with a shoeltnife i the venitentiary De- cember 31. Yesterday momina Arnol body was found han, in bis cell. had’ made & 1o Bis bedding, with which he ended his existence. He was sentenced from St. Louis for burglary. BAYARD'S TALK 15 EXPLAINED, The Embassador Says There Were Discrepancies in Reporting. NO WORSE THAN OTHERS. Pleads That Predecessors Made Speeches by Request of the English. EXCUSES FOR HIS UTTERANCES. Correspondence With the Diplomat Sent by the President to the House of Representatives. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20.—The President’s reply to the House resolution calling for the correspondence in the State Department relative to the speeches deliv- ered at Edinburgh, Scotland, and Boston, England, by Embassador Bayard was de- livered by one of the President’s secre- taries at the close of .routine business. The President transmitted a4 report from the Becretary of State, in addition to other papers, which says: ‘“‘In response to that part of said resolu- tion which requests information as to the action taken by the President concerning the speeches therein referred to, I reply that no action has been taken by the Pres- ident, except such as 1s indicated in the report and correspondence herewith sub- mitted.” The Secretary of State’s report, after re- citing the resolution, simply presents the correspondence with Mr. Bayard on the subject and says that aside from these | communications no action bas been taken by the department. The first letter is from Mr. Bayard to Secretary Olney, dated London, December 12, in which he says he observed from the newspapers in England the action of the House of Repre- sentatives looking to his impeachment, and incloses a printed copy of the Edin- burgh address. Mr. Bayard adds: “Inthe absence of precise information of the text of the resolution said to have been adopted by the House, and not pro- posing to anticipate the action of either or both houses of Congress, yet observing that, in the course of the discus- sion, reference was made to the diplomatic officers of the United States—I respectfully advert to article 7 and its sub- sections, in order that your attention may be drawn to the fact that the address in question was delivered before an institu- tion purely literary and scientific in its character and wholly unconnected with political parties—which has honored two of my official predecessors with similar in- yitations, which in both cuses had been accepted—subjects political in their na- ture (‘Democracy’ and ‘The Law of the Land’), having been respectively selected and treated with distinguished ability. No political canvass was pending or ap- proaching in this country when my ad- dress was made—and no interference or anticipation in local or party political con- cerns in this country was, therefore, pos- sible. ‘“The address consisted of my personal opinions upon governmental institutions in general—the moral forces aud tenden- cies which underlie them—and the gov- ernmental policies ywhich assist in the conservation of the freedom of the indi- vidual as an essential integer of human progress—and of the prominence of civili- zation. “The judgments so delivered were formed by me after careful deliberation, and in presentation sundry historical facts and arguments tending so sustain them were advanced. When Congress shall have concluded its action on the subject it is possible that I may desire to submit a further statement, but meanwhile I con- sider it proper to place before you the ad- dress iteelf in full and all connected with its delivery. Mr. Bayard adds in a postscript: “I find upon reading over this note that Mr. Low- ell’s address, ‘Democracy,’ was delivered by bim before the Midland Institute at Birmingham—an association similar in its character to the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution.” Secretary Olney immediately on receipt | of this cabled the Embassador on January 3 that the House resolution asked not only whether the Edinburgh speech was made, but also whether in the Boston speech he used the words, “The President stood in the midst of a strong, self-confident and oftentimes violent people—men who sought to have their own way. Ittook a real man to govern the peopleof the United States.’’ Mr. Olney’s dispatch also asked Mr. Bayard to send any additional statement regarding the Edinburgh speech he de- sired to make, and said the resolution asked what, if any, action the President had taken on the speeches. Mr. Bayard cabled the following day that he would comply, and under the same date wrote coniirming the cablegram. In his letter, dated January 4 hesays he was selected to deliver the prizes to the graduating students of the Boston Grammar-school, which he did in a spirit of good will. “In the aiternoon,” he continued, “we adjourned to a public hall, where a dinner was served, and as is customary here there were toasts and responses, and I responded to the health of the Presidentof the United States and subsequently to a toast to myself. SofarasI am concerned every- thing was impromptu, and a_. kindly, humorous, post-prandial tons prevailed. It seems a reporter was present, but I did not see him, nor did I know that any re- port had been made until the local news- paper was sent to me a few days after in London. I sent a copy to Mr. Cleveland, because the report contained a kindly reference to the family home circle of the President, and, as 1 have grandchildren in Boston, Mass., 1 sent a copy to the house- hold. This was the extent of ‘publication’ 1n the United States of which I have any knowledge. I must except an elaborate editorial in the Philadelphia Ledger, gravely censuring the constitutional views, which the editor supposed to have been expressed by me. “The occurrence was early in' last August and had passed out of my memory until it was made the basis, or one of the bases, of a resolution of impeachment by the United States House of Representa- tives as & high crime and misdemeanor under the constitution.” . Two days later, January 6, Mr. Bayard enclosed to Mr. Olney copies of the Boston (Eng.) Independent, Boston Guardian, Lincolnshire Advertiser and Lincoln- shire Independent of August 10, each containing what purported to be a full report of the proceedings. *Sundry _discrepancies,” Mr. Bayard writes, “‘are obvious in these two reports— and they are such as are usually incidental under similar circumstances—but as to the rerarks attributed to me, I spoke without premeditation, without notes, unaware of areporter’s presence, and have no means except recollection (now somewhat vague) | to enable me to correct either report. Therefore, I shall not essay it, although it is obvious the reporters failed to catch my words (sometimes in latin) and 1t confused them.” The President’s message was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The House passed a joinc resolution au- thorizing the Pacific Railroads Committee to sit daring the session of the House. Objection was made to the consideration of a resolution calling upon the President for the report of the Nicaragua Canal Com- mission, and on motion of Hull (R.) of Towa the House went into commitiee of the whole, Payne (R.) of New York in the chair, to consider the military academy appropriation bill. The bill was reported {avorably to the House and passed. Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio reported from the Committee on Ways and Means a joint resolution directing the immediate de- struction of all returns made under the income-tax provision of the tariff bill of 1894, which bas since been declared un- constitutional by the Supreme Court. At 2:45 the House adjourned. MISS WHONG WAS LIWDED. Troubles of a Missionary Who Traveled With a Chinese Maiden. Steamship Officers Were Worried Over the Prospect of a Heavy Penalty NEW YORK, N ., Jan. 20.—The Amer_ ican liner St. Louis when she sailed into New York Bay from Southampton last Friday bad in her cabin a Chinese passen- ger, Miss M. Whong. She 1s young and attractive, and was on her way to Boston in the company of Miss R. M. Bites, a mis- sionary. It is the duty of the purser to notify the boarding officer at quarantine when he has a Chinese subject on board. Purser Kinsey | of the St. Louis was either ignorant of the law or forgot all about it, for he failed to apprise the boarding officer of Miss Whong's presence, in order that she might be kept under supervision until the proper officials from the Navigation Bureau could be summoned. Miss Whong did not at first attract attention of the customs in- spectors. Miss Sites was in a great hurry to get to Boston that night. While making her declaration she spoke to an inspector about leaving her baggage behind in bond and incidentally let the fact be known that she was traveling with Miss Whong. Miss Sites was then informed that if she desired to travel with her friend she would be obliged to wait till next day. Itwas too late to get any one there from the Naviga- tion Bureau. : Purser Kinsey betrayed both surprise and consternation when told that the steamship company would be liable to a fine of $500 if Miss Whong should get ashore without her passport being indorsed. There was a flurry among the members of the Deputy Surveyor's staff lest the quiet, inoffensive Chinese gitl should thwart all efforts to prevent herlanding. An inspec- tor was assigned to watch her till the ship reached her wharf, and to see that she did not jump overboard or stow herself in the revenue cutter. ‘When the St. Louis reached her pier a telephone message was sent to the barge office for one of the night inspectors to come quickly, as there was a Chinese woman on board who might escape. Miss Sites and her charge had to make the best of their unpleasant situation, and spent one more night on the St. Louis, while a gilt-buttoned inspector kept his eye on their stateroom. Mr. Hawthorne of the custom-house went aboard the St. Louis Saturday afternoon. He found Miss ‘Whong's passport all right, and she was allowed to step on shore. WERE PROPERLY INDICTED. Railroad Men Must Stand Trial for Giving Illegal ERebates.
