Quick Retribution Follows Tragedy Near a Reser- vation. PR, Special Dispatch to The Call. EL PASO, Tex., June 20.5>-George Har- old, a city policeman who has just re- turned from the Mescalero Indian reser- vation, reports the murder of Thomas Page, a rancher, and the killing of six Apache Indians near there last Wednes- day morning. The Indians murdered the ranchman and the 12-year-old son of the dead man avenged his death by shooting the Indians from ambush. Page was occupying leased land in_the reservation and the Indians objected. They had several times threatered his life if he did not move. On Wednesday the boy was sent a half mile into the mountains to tend a herd of sheep while his father was preparing breakfast. The little fellow heard a shot at the cabin and returned to find six Apache bucks engaged in looting the place and his father dead. Concealing himself among the rocks the boy picked off the Indians with his rifle and so true was his aim that not one es- caped death. The lad was unharmed. He surrendered to the reservation authori- ties. ‘Will Meet in San Francisco. SANTA MARIA DEL MAR, June 20.— The fiftcenth annual Grand Council of the Catholic Ladies’ Aid Soclety this morn- ing adjourned to meet in San Francisco in August, 1903. Most of the delegates re- mained here and are spending the time in recreation.

He might be charged by some large landed proprietor, who as well might try the case here as elsewhere, but the poor shep- | herd, finding himself here charged with a crime committed in Los Angeles County, if vour Honor insisted on trying him, as you would be obliged to insist on trying him if you try these men, would consider that he had been aggrieved in his dearest rights. I don’t say these gentiemen did anything. I don’t say they are guilty of anything. I have no right to say so. There has been no exam- ination; there has been no trial.

Risadas s OME, June 20.—The Papal Secre- tary of State, Cardinal Ram- polla, to-day assured the Right Rev.Thomas O'Gorman, Bishop of Sioux Falls, S. D., that the Vat- fean accepts the proposition of Judge Taft, Governor of the Philippines, re- garding the disposition of the friars’ lands, on all the main points, but dissents on minor points. The official documents are being pre- pared at the Vatican and will soon be de- livered to Judge Taft. The American party walted patiently at the Hotel Quirinal for the reply, but as this dis- patch is forwarded it was stlilnot received. There is little doubt that the answer will be a substantial acceptance of the main points of Judge Taft’s proposals, which include the payment of about $1,000,000 for the friars’ lands and a smaller sum for the rental of the friars’ lands used by the army and the deportation of the friars to Spain, The actual sums will be fixed by arbitration. H Judge Taft has prepared a tentative fcrin of agreement to use if agreeable to the Vatican If the answer comes to-night Judge Taft will to-morrow apply to Mgr. Gasspari, Secretary of the Congregation Extraor- dinary in Ecclesiastical Affairs, for in- formation on the subject. ARGUED IN THE HOUSE. Jones Says Corporations Will Event- ually Get Friar Lands. WASHINGTON, June 20.—Debate on the Philippine civil government bill continued to-day in the House from 11 a. m. until 5 p. m. and in a session held to-night. The speakers were glven close attention, eagh side enthusiastically applauding its re- spective speakers. Jones of Virginia, ths ranking minority member of the Insular Affairs Committee, concluded his speech begun yesterday. The other speakers were Hamilton of Michigan and Kahn of California for the bill and Patterson of Tennessee agalnst it. Jones argued that under the provisions of the bill the friar lands which the Gov- ernment was to purchase would find their way Into the hands of corporations. He declared that in his opinion it would be better for the Filipino people to live un- der the present hybrid rule than to have imposed upon them the ciyil government proposed by the pending measure, which would enable that civil government to dis- pose of all the valuable franchises in these islands, to strip the forests of their timber and to sell the agricultural lands to_corporations and syndicates. Jones devoted considerable time to the iscussion of the question of the ability of the Filipino peopie for self-government. He quoted Professor Schurman, president of the first Philippine Commission, to the effect that the Filipino people desired in- dependence, were entitled to it, were ca- pable ,of governing themselves and were entitled to self-government. “Does the gentleman think Buencamino capable of self-government?” asked Crumpacker. “I think if Buencamino’s moral charac- ter were as strong as his intellectual pow- Sr he would be a very great man,” replied ones. CRITICIZES ROOT’S FIGURES. Jones referred to the statement issued by Secretary Root, giving $170,000,000 as the total cost to the United States of our control of the Philippines. He said that in making up the account he had, no doubt the Secretary of War,“the rankest parti- san of them all,” had excluded every pas- gible item in order to reduce the amount to a minimum. But even the astute Sec- retary of War, he said, had furnished no estimate of the blood our possession of the islands had cost. He thought fully 100,000 Filipinos had perished, dirqetly-<or | 2 his remarks and described in detall some of the cruelties inflicted by Filipinos on American troops. He made a vigorous defense of the army and said its good rame should not be besmirched because of the conduct of the pitiful few. It was a mistake to assert that the imsurrection would end should the Filipinos be given their independence. “It would only "give the irreconcil- ables,” he said, “‘an incentive for renewed activity. He added that should inde- pendence be given the Filipinos their cruelties would be so revolting that all the tears of the angels could never blot the record out. Kern (D.) of Illinois denied the right of the United States to frame laws for the — CIVIL GOVERNOR OF THE PHILIPPINES AND TWO DISTINGUISHED CATHOLIC PRELATES WHO HAVE TAKEN AN ACTIVE PART IN THE NEGOTIATIONS AT THE VATICAN ON THE FRIAR LANDS QUESTION. indirectly, as a result of the war waged against them, and that 10,000 American lives had been lost or wrecked. Jones took up the charges made against General Smith and Major Waller of cruelty in Samar. “Why s it,” he asked, addressing the other side of the chamber, “‘that you' crit- icize and court-martial Schley, but you will not touch a hair on the head of those who have confessed in participating in these dlabolical outrages? Why criticize a naval officer and refuse to hear of crit- iclsm of an officer in the army? “It is the indiscriminate criticism of the army that we protest against,” interjected Steel of Indiana. “There has been no such indiscriminate riticism,” answered Williams of Illinois. “It has been a recital of specific cases.” “It is not the soldiers who should be keld up to execration,” declared Jones, ‘‘but those who ordered such outrages and mose cowards who seek to smother oy TASK OF THE NATION. Hamilton of Michigan, also a member of the Insular Committee, followed with a set speech in support of the bill. After referring to the Democratic denunciation | 11 of McKinley's “imperialistic policy” Ham- ilton said: Now that he is dead, I venture the pre- diction that it will not be long before gentle- men on the other side will have appropriated his memory to thelr own uses, and will have his picture among their own stage proper- ties and will be quoting his utterances as ‘apples of gold and pictures of silver,” even s they are quoting the utterances of Ab- raham Lincaln. Verily, the successors and assigns of those who stoned the prophets now burn incense to their memory, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous. We seldom do men justice until after they are dead, and then we' make up for the mean lles we tell of them while they are living by the good lies we tell of them after they are dead. At the end of the campaign of 1900 the old Pop- ulistic banner marked “Imperialism and 16 to 1, partly obliterated, which had been car- ried by a procession of discontent, with out- riders of necromancers, soothsayers, sword- swallowers, serpentine dancers and experts in curbstone ~discussion, was dumped in the scrap-heap of ineffectual political experiment, but s being fished out and refurbished now for further political use, minus 16 to 1.7 (Republican_applause.) We are trying to do what no other nation tried to do before. We are trying to glve to a detached and undevel- oped people local self-government under the tutelage and protection of a great world-pow- er. We are giving them more than a formal protectorate. We are trying to protect them from themselves within and ‘from invasion without, that they may Erow in peace and proaperity. PATTERSON SAYS PAUSE. Patterson opposed the Philippine bill and supported the minority substitute. ““Well may the American people pause,” said he, ‘‘before the step is taken which reverses all our theories of government end brings us to the Old World methods of colonization and empire.” Kahn of California concluded the debate of the afternoon in a speech which was listened to with close atténtion by mem- bers. on both sides of the House. It was largely a personal narrative of his trip to the Philippines last year. He told of .a personal interview with Aguinaldo, at which the latter admitted that no prom- izes of independence had been made to him by Dewey and Wildman. He con- cluded as, follows: Thers 1s'one instance in our national his when the policy of scuttle, after betng. oo whelmingly repudiated at the polls, was nev- ertheless adopted by the then Democratic ad- ministration. I refer to the “fifty-four forty or fight”’ campaign of 1844. Tt is true that when the question of our Oregon boundary came up in the Senate In 1846 a large major. ity of the Semators voted to ratify the treaty by which we relinquished all of that territory which is now known as British Columbia. 1t we had held our ground at that period, Eng- land to-day would not have a single port-on the Pacific Ocean side of the American con- tinent. The commerce of the Orient coming across the Pacific would have had to pass through an American port. “There would have been no Alaskan boundary dispute to plague us, and, sir, I for one, do not propose, with my voté at least, to sanction another mistake of a similar character. . At 5 o'clock Kahn ylelded the floor and a recess was taken until 8 o'clock. At the evening session Kahn resumed —— Philippines, because in his opinion the Filipinos are an allen people. He charged President Roosevelt with acting in the Filipino matter without the authority of Congress such as was conferred on him b)‘" a meager resolution. o At no stage of the game,” said he, has he done Congress the honor to ask advice or counsel.” The chief question to his mind, he said, was not so much one of good government as it is one of self- government. ‘There is only one man,” he declared, with emphasis, “in all the world who can stop the war and that man i{s Theodore Roosevelt, “I say to you, Theodore Roosevelt,” he exclaimed with vehemence, “that if you are earnest in your loud declarations and want these people to have their liberty and their independence then say it to the world, and Congress and the people will back you up and hostilities will cease.” Adams (R.) called attention to the fact that only yvesterday orders had gone for- ward reducing to 19,000 men the army in the Philippines, which he said, was an evidence of the pacific intentions of the Government. He then, under the latisude of debate, entered into a defense of the Panama canal. At 9:53 p. m. the House adjourned until o’clock te-morrow morning. NAMES HIS DOCTORS FOR FUTURE EXPERIMENT Physician Who Seeks to Demonstrate a Tuberculosis Theory Makes a Statement. PARIS, June 20.—Dr. Garnault, the phy- siclan who has inoculated himself with matter taken from a consumptive cow in order to disprove Professor Koch's theory that it is impossible for human beings to catch tuberculosis from cattle, to-day in- formed a correspondent that he has been misquoted. He does not propose that Dr. Theobald Smith, professor of comparative | pathology at the medical school of Har- vard Unlversity, shall treat him during the present experiment if tuberculosis de- clares itself. Should the experiment fail, however, then Dr. Garnault shall place bimself in communication with Professor Smith and Professor Baumgarten of Tuebingen, who, he says, ‘if they do not fcllow Koch completely, yet express dcubts, which impose on them grave ob- ligation.” “1 do not ask Dr. Smith or Professor | Baumgarten to imitate me,” continues Dr. Garnault, “but if the experiment fails T ask them to assure, in concert with me, a new, ecisive experiment, to be prac- ticed on myself.” Dr. Garnault also says that he chooses Dr. Smith and Professor Baumgarten be- cause he is convinced of their scientific good faith, which he questions in Pro- fessor Koch. The French physician is willing to go to Boston, if necessary, for the experiment. o e e e e i Look out for the special Coronation Number of The Call that will be published next Sunday.

Difficulties Among the Con- ferees Provoke Dis- cussion. WASHINGTON, June 20.—In the House to-day Cannon, chairman of the Appro- priations Committee, asked unanimous consent for consideration of the confer- ence report on the sundry appropriations bili. In urging the necessity for imme- diate action Cannon expressed the hope that Congress would be able to reach a final adjournment by July 4. Patterson of Tennessee objected. Hull of Towa called up the army appro- priation bill. He offered a resolution to disagree to all the Senate amendments, except 12, 14 and 15 (relating to’ army As to 12 and 14, the resolution pro- vided that the House adhere to its dis- agreement, and as to 15, it recede and agree to the amendment. It was the ac- tion of the House on this bill (in instruct- ing its conferees) which caused the con- troversy with the Senate regarding the right to take such action. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, one of the | committee appointed to confer with the Senate on the subject, explained that the parliapfentary effect of the resolution in declafing the House's purpose to adhere to its disagreement as to the two amend- ments was to carry its insistence one than the adoption of. the former instructions to the conferees. Richardson, the minority leader, who also was a member of the committee to cenfer with the Senate, explained further that the Senate had ignored the House's request for conference with instructions to its conferees and had sent the bill back with a simple request for a conference. The effect of the adoption of the resolu- tien would be that the House in turn ignored the Senate and sent the bill back with a stronger insistence on its_objec- tion to the objectionable items. It was not a surrender, he said. Had it been so he never would have agreed to it. The resolution was adopted. CABINET TAKES NOTICE OF CROWNINSHIELD’S WORDS Italian Embassador May Ask the United States to Make an Apology. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, June 20.—So serious has become the complication between the United States and Italy over Rear Ad- miral Crowninshield’s published state- ment that the officers of the Chicago ar- rested at Venice suffered “revolting in- dignities,” that it was discussed by the Cabinet to-day. Signor Mayor Des Planches, the Italian | Embassador, who insists that a full ex- planation shall be given his government, called this afternon on Secretary Moody and Acting Secretary Hill of the State Department. When he left he said: “There are no developments. To-mor- row morning I hope to see Secretary Hay. Then there may be something for me to say.” As yet the Embassador has not seen Secretary Hay. It is said he may ask that this government apologize for Ad miral Crowinshield’s comment. Whether such an apology will be made Is not known. Rear Admiral Crowninshield has been asked to explain how his report became public when the authorities in- tended to suppress the matter in the interest of good feeling. It is supposed that his disapproval was published in squadron orders and a copy of these fell into the hands of newspaper correspond- ents after the Illinois-arrived in English waters. As he was not directed to with- hold his comment, he can hardly be blamed for its publication.

HARVARD CLASS ORATOR A NEGRO OF THE SOUTH Impressive Ceremony at the Univer- sity Founder’s Statue on Graduation Day. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 20.—The an- nual class-day exercises of Harvard Uni- versity were held to-day. The class ora- tion was delivered by Roscoe Conkling Bruce of Tuskegee, Ala. Bruce is a col- ored man, and is going into educational work in_the South. The Hasty Pudding Club held Its “gpread” immediately after the literary exercises. Later in the day the senlors assembled around the old tree for their private exercises. Gifts were made to various members of the class, appropri- ate to their peculiar talents or achieve- ments. The ceremonies around John Harvard statue attracted a great throng. The stu- dents marched up in classes, the seniors first going through their picturesque cus- tom of taking the farewell from tbe yard, by marching around the various old build- ings and cheering each in turn. After the statue exercises the crowd scattered to the various collations served by the col- lege Greek letter sccietfes. Assassin’s Admirer - Makes Appeal. TOPEKA, Kans,, June 2.—Willlam Grubb, the Harper County man, who sald he was glad Czolgosz shot McKinley, to- Gay appealed his damage sult to the Su- preme Court. When_Grubb made the re- mark referred to, Robert Elder and a dozen other men chased him out of the country. He returned and sued them for $10,000 damages. The jury in the District Court in Harper County gave a verdict for the defendants. Washington | Califor- | GENATORS TALK OF REGIPROGITY The Cuban Question Dis= cussed in Republican Conference. 1 Dozen Speeches Are Made on the Subject of Tariff Laws. ‘WASHINGTON, June 20.—The Republl- can Senators held another conference on the question of Cuban reciprocity, and after threce hours’ discussion adjourned, subject to the call of Chairman Allison, without action. Almost all the Republican | Senators who are in the city were pres- | ent. Ten speeches were made in support of reciprocity and two In opposition to | that policy. This was in accord with a previous understanding that as the beet sugar Senators had monopolized the at- | tention of the conference on Wednesday night their opponents to-day should have the greater share of the time. The speeches in support of the reci- | procity bill were made by Senators For- aker, Beveridge, Lodge, Hale, Warren, Aldrich, McComas and Hanna, Senater Platt of Connecticut adding a few words to what he had sald at the Wednesday evening meeting. The two speeches in opposition to the proposed legislation were made by Senators Burton and Bur- rows. The speeches for reciprocity were along the same general line, and without exception were pleas for legislation and for party harmony. Senator Hanna spoke of thel question of extending the proger aid to Cuba as a moral question, saying that our obliga- tions to the Cuban people were such that ch would not be true to ourselves as a nation if we should fail to fire them an encouraging hand at the ginning of their national career. He referred to President McKinley's attitude on this subject, and quoted the President's Buf- falo speech as making it imperative on this Government to enter into proper re- ciprocal relations with Cuba. Senator Burton of Kansas made an eloquent speech in support and defense of the attitude of the beet sugar Repub- licans. He took as his text certain re- marks which had been made by Senator Platt at the Wednesday evening meeting and by Senator Foraker at to-day's meet- ing. He spoke especially with reference to an intimation that the beet sugar Sen- ators were not loyal to the party. He sald that the press of the country had presented only one side of the question. His side, he said, stood for the support of one of the most promising, as it was ona oi' the most deserving, of infant indus- tries. The beet sugar Interest, he sald, was coming to the front with a rapidity and a promise to the future such as had | marked the history of few interests in | this country, and he urged that this in- terest should have the same protecting care that the Republican party had given to other struggling industries. He said | that it was not true that the beet sugar men were not willing to extend a heiping hand to the people of Cuba if they need- | ed help, but he contended that there was no need for assistance to the people of that island at this time. Nor did he be- lieve that if the contemplated legislation should be enacted the Cubans would se- cure the benefit. | " Senator Burrows spoke very briefly and his remarks were entirely in reply to Sen- ator Hanna's reference to President M Kinley's Buffalo speech. Burrows pro- duced a copy of that speech and read ex- tracts from it for the purpose of show- ing that the beet sugar Senators are in | accqrd with McKinley's position as out- lined in that speech.
