The “yellow” journal then goes on to | tell the old, old story of how the bonds | were repudiated by the citizens. The truth of the whole matter is this: Several | months ago when this city made a satis- | factory settlement with Drury Melone and the other bondholders and the bonds were turned over to the committee, there | was one bond of $1000 missing and the { holder of it could not be found. Satur- | day a sult was brought in the Superior Court of San Francisco by B. P. John- son to enforce the payment of one of the $1000 bonds issued by this city in 1864 in aid of the building of the Sacramento and Placerville Railroad, plaintiff asking for Interest at the rate of 10 per cent per annum from 1864.

The party said it did not matter much who were implicated, | but the names of certain miners and the County Assessor were given whom it was | most desired to implicate, for the purpose, the witness sald, of hanging them or get- | ting them out of the country. He said he | afterward learned that the Assessor had had trouble with the Bunker Hill mine | over their assessments. The witness detalled an interview with | an army officer in which the latter de- j clined to permit a priest to be summoned to one of the prisoners who was dying, and also refused- to allow him to com- | municate with his partner as to the dis- | position _of his property. He detailed | many other instances of alleged cruelty, One of his recitals was as to a brief visit by General Merriam to the “bull pen” and the refusal to allow prisoners to_communicate with him. In telling of the shooting of Johnson, the prisoner who went insane, the wit ness contributed additional testimony, | | saving that while Johnson was running away a certaln mine official shouted, “Shoot!

Denounces the Expansion Programme as a Violation of the Funda- mental Principles of This Government. WASHINGTON, March 12—During al- | most the entire session of the Senate to- day Rawlins of Utah occupled the floor In a discussion of the Philippine question. He went deeply into the constitutional | phases of the question. His argument was largely legal and technical. He is opposed to the holding of the Philip- pines. Rawlins said he had read the bill of Spooner conferring authority upon _the President to govern the islands until Con- Bress otherwise provided. “That bill,” said he, “is but the pro- logue of the swelling act i the imperial | theme. He also read the act of 1803, conferring upon the President power to govern the territory of Loulsizna. Rawlins read some opinfons of Kent and other English publicists as a basis for his argument. In response to an inquiry by Spooner, Rawlins said, in the course of his consti- | tutional argument upon the rights of in- habitants of the insular possessions, that the treaty of Paris conferred upon Con- gress the authority to determine the civil rights and political status of the native inhabitants of the islands derived from Spain by the United States, in accordance with the treaty. It did not, however, he sald, confer that authority upon. Con- gress with regard to other than native inhabitants of the islands. He main- tained, therefore, that the must necessarily extend over the outly- ing territory and that the Americans, Germans, Frenchmen and others on these islands could be governed by Congress gn‘lly under the limitations of the consti- ution. Waging a War of Aggression. Speaking of the Filipinos he said: These people never acknowledged their alle- glance to this Government; hence they are not | in insurrection against the United States. A war of aggression is being waged against them. The purpose, I believe, in the drafting of the bill proposed by the Senator (Spooner) is to secure recognition by Congress of a state of war In the Philippines. It comes to us in dis- guise and for the purpose I huve stated and to relieve this administration from its political anomalous position. After saying he presumed that the s{:eechel of Beveridge and Lodge voiced the sentiments and presented ihe pro- ‘Rawlins gramme of the administration, 1 am opposed to the carrving out of this pro- said: gramme. No vote of mine will aid to carry- ing into. effect the policy outlined by those Senators. I oppose the programme because it is in violation of the fundamental principles upon which our free institutions are erected; because it is in opposition to the constitution, because it proposes to rule by a despotic power and not by rights secured under the con- stitution, because it {s not expansion but retro- gression of all that we have held highest and because it is unjust, immoral and a breach of the plighted faith of this nation. Rawlins declared the Filipinos had been deceived by the proclamations issued to them by the United States and its of- ficials. He continued: They have been induced to belleve that the great white republic spoke to them with a de- ceptive and forked tongue and it is to that fact that may be ascribed the death of many brave American soldlers and the waste and blood- shed that have occurred. While Rawlins was criticizing the ad- ministration for its conduct of the war in the Philippines he remarked again that the Spooner bill was a recognition of hos- tilitles in the islands. Spooner Inquired if Rawlins had not himself expressly consented to a state of hostilities in the Philippines by voting to increase the army, knowing that the sol- diers were to be employed in the Philip- pines. Rawlins replied that the propos'tion that he voted for was one to supply troops for the relief of those already in the field. There was nothing in_the enactment which could be construed into a deciara- | tion of war. “Open Door” an English ’.l‘rlumph.’" Later on his remarks, referring to the | open door in China, for which much credit has been given Secretary Hay, he said it was purely an English triumph, not a irl- umph for this country. What right has a great trust of nations like Russia, Great Britaln and Germany to form a conspiracy and declare to China: “Our behests you must obey,” and then proceed to parcel out the markets and possibly the territory of China, The open door achievement of the Secretary of State is on a par with his achievement known as the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. At_the conclusion of Rawlins’' speech the Senate passed eighty-six private pen- sion bills and also the following: Approy- “‘f a revision and adjustment of certain sales of Indian lands in the States of Ne- braska and Kansas; to provide for neces- sary repairs to the steamer Thetis for ser. vice as’a revenue cutter. e gt L DEMOCRAT UNSEATED. House Decides the Second Virginia District Election Contest. WASHINGTON, March 12—To-day for the second time within a week a Demo- crat was unseated by the House and a Re- publican seated in his place. R. A. Wise was given the seat hitherto occupied by ‘W. A. Young from the Second Virginia district. Previous to taking the vote John B. Wise of New York, formerly a membor of the House from Virginia and who-was a brother of R. A. Wise, and his attorney in the case, was excluded from the hall by Speaker Henderson on the proteat of the Bemncra(s that he was abusing the privileges of the floor, to which he was en- titled by the rules, by interfering with the debate upon the case. The vote was ex- ceedingly close. While none of the Repub- licans voted with the Democrats, enough were absent and unpaired to reduce the Republican majority upon the final vote from 16, the normal majority, to 7. Cannon called up the urgent deficiency ngproprlatlon bill, which carried $1,43°58). The principal items were $500,000 for the nu\'nFe!umnte and $487,000 for the public printing office. In connection with the lat- | ter item Richardson called attention to the bill he had introduced to regulate the roduct of the paper trust. The advance n the price of paper was one of the causes of the deflciency appropriation asked for. Richardson said the creation of the;ap trust had reduced competition and i creased prices. He said the number of bid- ders for supplying aner to the Govern- ment for the next fiscal year had fallen from forty-five to fifty, in former yecars, to thirty, and the prices had ranged 50 per cent higher. Cannon turned the discussion into a humorous vein by suggesting that the trust in which Congress was immediately inter- ested was the “Congressional trust,” and as the appropriation for the printing office was for the purpose of disselmnating speeches and making the ‘“election ai calling” of Reprgsentatives sure, he thought there had’been no objection to the appropriation. The bill was passed. i et ALASKA MINING BILL PASSED. WASHINGTON, March 12.—The bill re- ported last week from the House Lands Committee to extend the placer mining laws of the United States, with certain modifications as to shore rights, beach workings, etc., in Alaska, was passed. This bill is designed to meet the condi- tions obtaining at Cape Nome. Lacey of Iowa, chairman of the committee, said that it was indorsed by Alaskan authori- ties and miners xenmll{.

The basis of the disa- greement was Senator Foraker’s bill pro- viding a form of government for Portu Rico, and only Republican Senators par- | ticipated in it. The controversy grew out of the efforts to have the bill amended. There are some Senators who hold that legislation for Porto Rico, for the present | | at leagt, should be confined to providing | | for the immediate needs of the inhab- | itants of Porto Rico, and should not in- | clude efforts to establish a form of gov- | ernment. These Senators generally be- | lieve that Porto Rico should receive no favors in the way of tariff reduction, and are content to allow the present tariif rates to continue until, as_they put it, there is more time and the Senate is bet- ter prepared for the dispassionate consid- eration of the question. Their idea 8 to leave the island in the hands of the War Department. Senator Foraker, as chairman of the Porto Rican commitiee, met the proposi- tion of inactivity with a declaration that if it were gerpisted in he would not cnly drop the bill now before the Senate en- tirely, but would introduce as a substi- tute for it a measure providing for the or ganization of the island as a Territory, giving it all the officers and all the privi- leges and immunities of such Territories as Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona— not only making the Porto Ricar people full-fledged citizens of the United States, but establishing complete free trade be- tween them and the United States proper. His further purpose, as he outlined it, was to introduce it as an amendment to | the bill passed by the House and now pending in the Senate, appropriating the | | revenue collected from the island for the | use of the people. | Foraker Agrees to a Delay. | When the purpose of Foraker became | generally known among the Republican leaders the Ohio Senator was immediately besieged by Republicans. While several of them supported his proposition as a wise one, many others contended against it as calculated to commit the country to a course which might be more easily re- | | pented of than remedied. They held that | it would be easier In the future to change from a present policy of imposing a_tanft to free trade than it would be to change from free trade to tariff. Fear was felt by the advocates of a tariff that such an | | amendment could be passed with the as- | sistance of the Democratic free-traders. | Foraker himself {s wedded to the bill un- der consideration, and on account of this | predilection he decided after conferring with almost every one of the Republicans to allow matters to drift for a few days. After the Senate adjourned a number of Serators held an informal conference in | Serator Allison’s rooms, but they de- clared with one accord that no definite conclusion had been reached as to a line | of policy to be pursued with reference to Porto Rico. | | ‘When word reached the House as to the | possible course of the Senate it caused much speculation. Dalzell, Russell, Taw- | ney and others of the Ways and Means | Committee said the reported plans in the Senate were not the result of any confer- | ence or consultation with members of the | | House, and considerable doubt was ex- | pressed as to whether the Senate would | make such radical changes as those sug- gested. | Notwithstanding these statements, it appears that while members of the House | have not been consulted as to any com- | promise, some of them have been ad-| vised of the various plans under consider- ation. Compromise Proposition. Representative Moody of Massachu- | setts, who took an active part in the | House debate, said the proposition up_to esterday was to combine the House bill, the $2.000,000 appropriation measure and a Territorial bill, dolng away with the du- ties on goods entering Porto Rico and re- | taining the 15 per cent rate on goods en- | tering the United States from Porto Rico. He expressed surprise and some doubt as | to the Senate's abandoning the tariff features entirely, although he said there was no doubt such a change, if made by | the Senate, would be accepted by the House. Cooper, chairman of the Insular Committee, and_Crumpacker of Indiana concurred with Moody that the changed temper of the House would lead to the ac- ceptance of a free trade amendment if the Senate made it. Cooper, Crumpacker and Moody were | engaged throughout the day in perfecting | the bill for a Territorial form of govern- ment for Porto Rico, which is to be sub-| :inllted to the Insular Committee in a few ays. BLOOD ON THE SLED. Pinkerton Detective Finds Important Evidence Against O’Brien. SEATTLE, Wash., March 12.—A Pinker- ton detective who is looking up the Clay- son-Relfe-Olson mystery has made some striking discoveries, sccordlni to a story brought from Skaguay by C. P. Stone. It seems that the Pinkerton man In going carefully through the effects of O'Brien, held at Tagish under suspicion and now on his way to Selkirk to be tried on an- other charge, noticed a round mark on the sled owned by the prisoner. He found that it was a‘plug. and when the plug was ried out he found in the cavity three $100 ‘anadian bills. This led to a still closer scrutiny of the sled. and splashes of blood, afterward as- certained to be human, were discovered. The plate in the hilt of the prisoner's re- volver was taken off and two $50 bills were found concealed there. The police think the numbers on the bills may possibly connect O'Brien with the mystery and lead to new developments. Ehibalr m ber Takes Wolcott’s Run.
