2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1901. FIGHT BEGIN ON COMMITTES Democratic Senators Op- pose the Republican Plans. Tillman Advises Harmony and Will Work for. Conciliation. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The Demo- cratic Senators to-day held their first cau- cus of the present session, Its purpose wes to consider committee assignments, but the occasion was more than ordinarily significant because of the general attend- ance upon the caucus. All the Senators elected as Democrats v .th the exception of Senator McLaurin of South Carolina were present, as were all the Senators who were elected as Silver Republicans or Populists. All the independents except Sen, Teller of Colorado had entered the Democratic caucus held before ad- Journment last March, but Senator Teller then remained away. He was present, however, at to-day’'s conference and par- ticipated in the proceedings. The caucus was called at the instance | of Senator Jones of Arkansas, who stated he thought it possible that the new Sen- ators might want to make some change in the officers of the caucus. There was, ¢ however, a general expression of satis- faction with the present officials, and Sen- &tor Jones was re-elected unanimously chairman of the caucus. The old commit- | tee on order of business also was reap- pointed, and the one vacancy on that committee was filled by the selection of Senator Dubois of Idaho, who was the | choice of all the Western members of the caucus. Tillman Urges Action. During the proceedings Senator Tillman suggested that there should be frequent conferences and continued effort to agree upon the main features of all political controversies. Theére was a general re- sponse to this suggestion, and the opin- fon was fairly unanimous that the party should present a united front, permitting no more straggling than was absolutely | Decessary. Senator Jones presented a statement from the Republican cammittee on com- mittees outlining its wishes as to the nmittee assignments, from which it ap- peared that the Republicans were anxious to increase the Republiecan membership of several committees and to decrease the | Democratic sl on . Com- merce, while the Democrats should agree to surrender one of the places on that committee held by them. The committee &s now constituted includes ten Republi- gan members and seven Democratic mem- ers. It was decided to vigorously resist this innovation. The Republicans a desire to increase the member- of the Committees on Agriculture Census from nine to eleven each, the w members to be Republicans; to e the Committee on Claims from to fourteen, the Republicans to ht members and the Democrats ainst seven and six, Yespective- committee is now constituted. Democrats Oppose Changes. n increase is also proposed in the Com- on Foreign Relations. As it at stands the committee numbers en members, four of whom are Demo- The proposal js to make it consist thirteen members, eight of whom shall be Repul 3 and five Democrats. A change w so suggested in the Com- Mittee on Irrigation, which is at present composed of six Republicans =nd five Democrats. The change, 1f adopted, would give a membership of eleven, four of w m would be Democrats. The Dem- decided to oppose the proposed in the Committees on Claims and oc chang, Irrigation. The Republican committee suggested no changes in the committees on Appropria- tions, Finance and Judfclary, but indi- cated that they will continue Benator Jones of Nevada on the Finance Commit- tee, thus practically adding one to the Republican representation and taking one from opposition representation. The Republicans did not indicate any intention | to take care of Senator Wellington in the matter of committees, nor was any sug- gestion made in the caucus that the Dem- ocrats should find places for him. SECRETARY REFUSES TO CHANGE A VERDICT | War Department Executive An- nounces His Decision in the Captain Read Case. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1l—Secretary Root has refused to interfere in the case | of Captain James C. Read, formerly a vol- unteer subsistence officer, who was con- victed by court-martial of complicity in alleged commissary frauds in the Philip- | pines and sentenced to dismissal and fm- prisonment for three years. Several im- portant legal points are inwplved in this case, the chief of which are whether a state of war existed in the Philippines at the time of the trial and whether an offi- cer of the volunteers can be tried by a | court composed of officers of the fegular service, cou xist in the Philippines and t the trial was illegal. Secretary Root decided that a state of | war existed in the Philippines, but has not finally passed on the other question involving the legality of the.trial of a part of regular officers, ag that question s no in the case of another volunteer officer named Deming Captain Leary Will Retire. BOSTON. Dec. 11.—On account of {H- ptain Richard P. Leary, U. S. , first Governor of Guam, who is now sick Jeave at the Marine Hospital in Chelsea, has asked to be retired. Having served more than forty years he can be retired with the rank and pay of rear admiral. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Arguments For and Against the Measure Are Advanced. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Two speeches on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty were made in the executive session of the Senate to- ! day, one by Senator Bacon in opposition to the treaty and the other by Senator Culiom, the prospective chairman of the Committee on Forelgn Relations, in sup- port of it. Bacon referred to the speech made yes- terday by Senator Lodge. He summed up his objection in the statement that he could nut freely accept any treaty which | does mot place the isthmian canal entire- 1y under American auspices and American | control. This, he said, the pending treaty does not do, nor does it do anything like it. It did not by long odds, he said, ac- complish what had been accomplished by the Senate amendments made to the Hay- Pauncefote treaty at the last session of Congress. The Dayis amendment, he said, had ab- rogated all the objectionable provisjons of | that treaty as negotiated, and it did not | matter what provisions there were in the | | agreement so long as the United States | was authorized, as it was by the princi- pal Dayis amendment, to secure the safe- | ty and maintenance of the canal by its { own force. That amendment had given this country a free hand to do what was hecessary for the protection and defense | of the canal, whereas the present treaty carried all the restrictions which were originally comtained in the old treaty, | leaving out the modifications of the Davis | amendment. Suez Canal Restrictions. | He also pointed out inat the treaty re- produces tne restrictions of the oid Suez | canal treaty, which had been incorporated in the original convention. He charged that these restrictions had been copied almost verbatim from the old treaty, the only material change being in the omis- sion of the words “in time of war as in | time of peace,” from rule 1 of the Sues | canal agreement. This omission did not, | | in his opinion, change the character of | | the agreement. 4 “The only reply,” he said, “which the make to the criti- | advocates of the treaty © | cisms is that the canal would be under | | the full control of the United States in | time of war, but this is no more true now than under the old treaty, and it is a strange thing that all the provisions refer to the control of the canal in war, not- withstanding it is contended here that in that contingency the removal of this phase places the canal under our absoiute control.” 5 He sald the war restrictions of the treaty were entirely inconsistent with the claims of. Senator Lodge that this coun- try should say who should use the canal and who should not in case of hostilitles. He contended that the only power glven to the United States which was not given | to Great Britain was found in_the last sentence of regulation 2, providing that “the United States shall be at liberty to maintain such military potice along the canal as may be necessary to protect it | against lawlessness and disorder. This, he said, was not sufficient to make the canal an Aénerican institution and if the Dayvis amendment should be necessary to render the original treaty acceptable it was equally necessary in this instance. He considered the pending treaty as Ob- jectionable as the treaty of last session. | The Argument of Cullom. Senator Cullom congratulated the Sen- ate and the country upon the fact that | there are two things in connection with the new treaty upon which, he said, prac- | tically all are decided. One of these was | the desirability of the supercession of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and the other the necessity for the construction of an isth- mian canal. He ocontended that the new | treaty radically changes_the conditions 'prr;;e’med by the first Hay-Pauncefote treaty, clearly relieving it of the necessity of such an amendment as that made to the old treaty upon the suggestion of Sen- ator Davis, because the treaty itself would permit the United States, under international law, to own, manage and defend the canal in any way that it may choose. In other words, he added, in a | war with Great Britain, or with any oth- er power, the treaty would be suspended under the law which governs nations un- til the way should be concluded, when it would be revived and again enforced. He | dwelt upon the fact, which he said was the most important circumstance to be | considéred, that the new treaty super- |'sedes and abrogates tMe Clayton-Bulwer | convention of 1850, and for this reason | would be of untold value to the country. He admitted that the new treaty re- tains the general principle of neutraliza- tion, as did_the original Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but he urged that it does not re- enact or keep alive any of the provisions of the treaty of 1850. While it retains ths | | doctrine of neutralization, the provision making the retention applies, the Senator contended, to all nations alike, but to | none of them for any longer time than they observe the regulations prescribea | | by the United States. When they should | fail in this observance we should close | the canal under the terms of the treaty, | All pations would be placed on terms of fairness and_equality by allowing all to | use the canal in time of peace and shut- ting out all in time of ‘war in case it should be found desirable to do so. In short, Senator Cullom urged, there is no provision in the pending convention which would interfere with our right as a nation | to close up the waterway to any belliger- | ent_power. | He contended that the provision in re- | | gard to the policing of the canal applies | only to its control in time of peace, and not in time of war. The United States, | Leing the ownér of the property, undet the terms of the law could control it with either the police or a military power, as it might choose, for the protection of our | Government's property. Referring to the fourth article of the treaty, which was not contained in the old treaty, Senator Cullom held that the pro- y if the sovereignty of the country trav- ersed by the canal should come to the United States. Under. that improbable ondition the canal could be closed in case of war, just as it could be in case the sovereignty should remain where it now is, as the Senator predicted it would remain. CANNIBALS ACTIVE IN THE PHILIPPINES WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Cannibalism has appeared in ue varied list of crimes charged against Filipinos by American military courts. According to the record of a court-mar- tial convened in the Department of the Viscayas, P.

W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. —Joseph 8. Spear Jr. will be re- appointed Surveyor of Customs for the port of San Francisco. Senators Bard and Perkins, after a con- ference to-day, decided to make such rec- ommendation to President Roosevelt. So it is expected that Spear’s nomination will soon be sent to the Senate. Spear is now visiting in Washington. The Senate has confirmed the following nominations: Willlam B. Ridgeley, Illi- nois, to be Comptroller of the Currency; . 8.

Hai- ner and B. H. Burwell. ACTION WAS EXPECTED. Recommendation of the Senators From California Not a Surprise. The announcement that Senators Bard and Perkins have recommended to the President the reappointment of Joseph S. Spear Jr. for the office of Surveyor of Customs here will not cause surprise or regret in California. The fact is known to the California delegation in Congress that President McKinley gave Spear per- sonal assurance that the latter should be reappointed, or retained, as Surveyor for ancther term. It was the original purpose of Presi- dent McKinley to appoint Egear Collector of the Port, but Senator Perkins advo- cated so_persistently the appointment of Colonel J. P. Jackson that the President finally dcquiesced when the Senator stated that Spear could have his choice of other Federal positions in this State. Spear is well known as an active Re- publican, but he has never contended that a. Republican who refused to obey ma- chine orders should be outlawed. He has administered the affairs of his office in a commendable manner, never allowing his judgment or rulings to_be swayed by po- litical considerations. It is highly proba- ble, however, that his resignation as chairman of the Fourth , Congressional istrict Republican Committee will soon be tendered, as the President has ex- pressed a desire, or a determination, that New Mexico—Chief Justice, W. J. Mills; | Federal officeholders shall not be actively Associate Justices, John R. McFie and | concerned in the management of party Frank W. Parker. affairs.

Springer, president of the National Livestook Asso- clation, returned to-day from Washing- ton, where on Monday he had an inter- view with President Roosevelt upon mat- ters now before Congress in which the stockmen of the country are interested. Springer expressed himself as fully sat- isfled that the stock and irrigation inter- ests will recelve just consideration. Speaking of the Grout bill introduced in Congress, Springer sald he is strongly against the measure, and added: ‘The dairy interests have brought all thelr influence to bear to secure an im- mediate passage, of this bill, anda I will not be surprised to see the measure a law at an early day.” Eflenklnfl of the gncklu interests and, as he said, the beef growers of the West and the cotton raisers of the South, Springer declared that there was but oné way in which the measure could be de- feated, and 1.2.: was for every man iden- tified with the Interests opposed to the Grout bill to write to the Senators repre- senting hig State and his Representative in Congre: SEanansress demanding that they vote it. oringer declared that even should the bill bficome & law it will be contested tsi::ggsg the Supreme Court of the United —_— Planning for Citrus Fair.

MINDRITY ASKS N0 DIVISION Agreement Reached on the Philippine Tariff Measure. Louisiana Members Think Sugar Industry Must Be Protected. —_—— WABHINGTON, Dec. f1.—At a meeting of the Ways and Means Committee to-day Chairman Payne was directed to favor- ably report to the House the Philippine tariff bill which the Republican members of the committee agreed upon vesterday. The report will be made Friday and the bill will be considered in the House next Tuesday, with a vote at 2 p. m. on Wed- nesday, {nstead of Tuesday, as first planned. Some surprise was occasloned at the fallure of the minority of the committee to ask for a division and vote"on the | | question of reporting the bill. In the ab- sence of such request no vote was re-| corded. It was stated, however, that & minority report would be presented iy the Democratic members - opposing the bill on general grounds, although it is doubtful whether Representative Robert- son will sign the report. Numerous conferences of Democratic members were held prior to the meeting of the Wa[- and Means Committee to-day because of the question which.had arisen as to united opposition to the Philippine Dbill drafted by Republican members. It developed that the four Louisiana mem- bers now in the city—Representatives Robertson, Meyer, Davy and Ransdell— were_favorable to the bill, and that the two Louisiana members out of the city— XB?::E’?I'L‘I and Braezeale—probably would a 5 The Louisiana members made no con- cealment of the fact that the sugar in- dustry of their State required the meas- ure of protection against thgplne sugai which the majority bill gave by applying the Dingley rates.

M. Thurston. Catarrh has already become a national curse. Its ravages extend from ocean to ocean. More than one-half of the people are affected by it. It has become such a serious matter that it has passed the boundaries of the medical profession and become a national question. Senators are talking about it; Congressmen are dis- cussing it. They are not only considering the ex- tent and chronic nature of the didease, but the possibility of finding a national remedy to meet this national calamity. The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to be the main expectation in this direction. Dr. Hartman, President of the Hart- man Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Peruna, over forty years ago, and the remedy as a catarrh cure has been grow- ing in favor steadily all these years. It stands to-day before the nation as a thoroughly tested, accurately scientific internal remedy for catarrh. There are gr%:tica]ly no medicinal rivals in the eld. Peruna is not a local application on temporary rellef; it is a permanent cur r Peruna is a systemic remedy. It eradi cates catarrh from the system. It cure: catarrh wherever located. Its cures are radical and lasting. ‘Therefore, Peruna is receiving the en- dorsement of the leading statesmen and history-makers of the day.
