TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 15, 1900. The bkcknt threat of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts against Germany wae as vain snd ridiculous ae was that of one of ble predecessore, wbo threaten¬ ed the United 8tates with tbe estab¬ lishment of a Northern Confederacy, because Jeflereon'e »dminietration wee not congenlsl to the feelinge of New England; and ae thst of the Hartford convention to eeceele during the war of 1812. Germany, nor any other foreign ustión, ie foolish enough to invsde thie country, even if there were sufficient cause to do so. The preeent admiois- trstion is the only one that sende troope thousands of milea across the sees to tight for no other assigned rea· boo than sentiment. Mr. Lodge is b g eooogL· for Massachusetts, but not for a whole country tbat, at least, assumes to be great. ^__________________ A NKOBO tougb was lynched near Augusta, Ga., yeeterday for shooting and killing a popular, reputable snd well-behaved young white man of thst city, who bed pushed him out of bis lap, in which be bad impudently taker. bis seat in a crowded etreet car. Tne white man is of course blamed by some of the Northern republican newspapers, who say be shouldn't bave knocked tbe negro oil hie lap. But tbe same papers also eay negro brutes should not be lynched for outraging young white girls. No white man would attempt to sit in a stranger's lap In a street car, nor would aDy negro born before the war do so, but maDV of those born eioce then, seem never to have bed any manners, or to have lost both them, a* well as their good sense. As thk tsiifl on the trade between this country and Cuba did not produce tbe required amount of revenue, Presi¬ dent McKinley bas altered it. Tbe Constitution provides tbat Congres» ehall fix tarif! rates; but what is the Conetitution between Mr. McKinley and tbe Northern republican syndicate In Cuba who will be profited by tbe changes referred to ? One of the latter has recently become possessed of e Urge rsilrosd property in Cuba, wbicb requires refurnishing and repairing, and a large reduction in the tariff tax on the necessary material will greatly en nance tbe value of tbat property. But tbe interests of tbe syndicates must be protected, ae they are expected to sup¬ ply tbe funds with which Mr. Hanna hopes to buy Mr. McKinley's re elei - tion. _ Thk republican U. 8. Senate yester¬ day agreed with tbe republican House of Représentât i ves to give Mr. Carnegie $545 a ton for steel plate tbat can be msde for $300. Possibly tbat is the real reason for Mr. Carnegie's resumed fondness for the republican party and for bis just expressed intention to eup port Mr. McKinley's re-election, noi- withstsnding tbe latter's determination to continue his imperialistic policy, which, until recently, was so objection¬ able to Mr. Carnegie. A Baltzmobb preacher Bays Govern¬ or Roosevelt and hie Rough Riders hsve a "somewhat t-triking resem¬ blance to Oliver Cromwell and bis Ironsides." Well, yes, the resemblance referred to is evidently of the "some¬ what" character. The frolicsome end xoliesome dare devili of the cowbowe, like the etern and severe and religious covenanters! «Some preachers do the cause they profese a great deal more harm thso good. Thk impression has long prevailed tbat Maryland has ceased to be a South¬ ern 8tate. That impression has now become indelible, since the women of Annapolis, the capital of that State, yesterday went to the public electioo polls and stood in line and cast ballote with the men. FROM WASHINGTON. ICorreependenoe of the Alexsndri» G__et..] Washington, May 15. The Hou^e committee on tbe ju¬ diciary bad the trust bill before them. The proposition, suggesting a consti u tional amendment taking the regula¬ tion of trusts out of the hands of the States and placing it in the hands of tbe government, wae approved by a party vote. Tbe democrats opposed it ou the ground tbat it proposed to take rights aud powers from the States wbicb should properly be vested in tbem. The amendment provides, how¬ ever, that to States is reserved such trust legislation as msy not be adopted by Congress. Tbe republicans are jubi¬ lent in tbeir belief tbat by tbeir action today tbey bave made tbe democrats subordinate trust remedial legislation io tbe preservstion of tbe State rights doctrine. The House committee on military af¬ fairs in executive session todsy ap¬ proved a bill to increase the volunteer signal corps and at tbe urgent demand of Mr. Hay, of Virginia, decided to ¿ummon the chiefs of the army bureaus to express tbeir views on the army re¬ organization bill. Chairman Hull was authorised to appoint a subcommittee of three to prepare a report on tbe Coeur d'Alene investigation. Mr«. J. Ellen Foster subsequently sddressed the committee demanding on behalf of American motherhood tbe abolition of the army canteen. Secretary Root continued ble argu- ment io behalf of the army réorganisa¬ tion bill before the House committee on military affairs tbia morning. He read a letter from Oeueral Milee strongly endorsing the bill. The secretary then made an earnest plea for the pasaage of the bili on tbe ground that it was tbe only ineat.s of rectifying tbe funda¬ mental error in our military system. The present separalion of line and stall wiiicb this bill wae designed to break up, be said, occasioned constant tet- deocy to wrong. The different perma¬ nent staff corps were located herein Washington, constantly in touch with senators and members of Congress and of the cabinet, while the line were out on the frontier or in tbe Hpanieh islands Consequently tbe staff was tbe only branoh of the army heard by member« of Congre s and its power had been built up by a line in this bill and a para¬ graph iu tbe other, while the power of ihe line bad been decreased. This con¬ dì i ja threatened the evil of a multiple command of the army. The leeliDg (hat bad grown up from this cause, for example, between the artillery and ordnance, was, be said, "a material and serious obstacle to the efficiency of the army" aud he urged the committee to break up tbe present system and give ¡ill branches ol tbe service a common merest by providing for an interchange üf stall aud line officers, so that all would eventually have experience in each branch. Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow, wbo has been ordered to take charge of tbe Department of Posts iu Cuba, accompanied by his secretary, C. A. Conrad, will leave tomorrow for Ha¬ vana.

Benito Legard*, warning him and his family to leave the city of Ma¬ nila. Oeneral O is states in his letter that the Aguinaldo letter is forwarded to meet still further tbe absurd charge tbat tbe American authorities in Manila inaugurated the war. Aguinaldo warns ni s friends as follows: "I beg you to leave Manila with your family and to come here to Malolos, but noi because I wish to fiigbten you. I mere¬ ly wish to warn you tor your satis* faction, although it is not yet tbe day or the week. ' The President also sent to tne tSeuate a copy of volume 5 of tbe report of tbe i hilippinecommission.

Mr. Olark reminded toe committee tbat they could not put in tbe record of tbe case a letter written by Campbell, ss it was too low and obscene. It wee passed around with horror after Camp- h 11 admitted the authorship. Marcus Daly, Clark fuitaer asserted, was the first man whoever used money in Mon¬ tana campaigns.

TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 15, 1900.

The bkcknt threat of Senator Lodgeof Massachusetts against Germany wae

as vain snd ridiculous ae was that of

one of ble predecessore, wbo threaten¬

ed the United 8tates with tbe estab¬

lishment of a Northern Confederacy,because Jeflereon'e »dminietration wee

not congenlsl to the feelinge of New

England; and ae thst of the Hartfordconvention to eeceele during the war of

1812. Germany, nor any other foreignustión, ie foolish enough to invsde thie

country, even if there were sufficient

cause to do so. The preeent admiois-trstion is the only one that sende

troope thousands of milea across the

sees to tight for no other assigned rea·

boo than sentiment. Mr. Lodge is b g

eooogL· for Massachusetts, but not for a

whole country tbat, at least, assumes to

be great. ^__________________

A NKOBO tougb was lynched near

Augusta, Ga., yeeterday for shootingand killing a popular, reputable snd

well-behaved young white man of thst

city, who bed pushed him out of bis

lap, in which be bad impudently taker.

bis seat in a crowded etreet car. Tne

white man is of course blamed by some

of the Northern republican newspapers,who say be shouldn't bave knocked tbe

negro oil hie lap. But tbe same papersalso eay negro brutes should not be

lynched for outraging young white

girls. No white man would attempt to

sit in a stranger's lap In a street car,

nor would aDy negro born before the

war do so, but maDV of those born

eioce then, seem never to have bed any

manners, or to have lost both them, a*

well as their good sense.

As thk tsiifl on the trade betweenthis country and Cuba did not producetbe required amount of revenue, Presi¬dent McKinley bas altered it. TbeConstitution provides tbat Congres»ehall fix tarif! rates; but what is the

Conetitution between Mr. McKinleyand tbe Northern republican syndicateIn Cuba who will be profited by tbe

changes referred to ? One of the latter

has recently become possessed of e

Urge rsilrosd property in Cuba, wbicbrequires refurnishing and repairing, anda large reduction in the tariff tax on

the necessary material will greatly en

nance tbe value of tbat property. Buttbe interests of tbe syndicates must be

protected, ae they are expected to sup¬

ply tbe funds with which Mr. Hanna

hopes to buy Mr. McKinley's re elei -

tion._

Thk republican U. 8. Senate yester¬day agreed with tbe republican Houseof Représentât ives to give Mr. Carnegie$545 a ton for steel plate tbat can bemsde for $300. Possibly tbat is the realreason for Mr. Carnegie's resumedfondness for the republican party andfor bis just expressed intention to eupport Mr. McKinley's re-election, noi-

withstsnding tbe latter's determinationto continue his imperialistic policy,which, until recently, was so objection¬able to Mr. Carnegie.A Baltzmobb preacher Bays Govern¬

or Roosevelt and hie Rough Ridershsve a "somewhat t-triking resem¬

blance to Oliver Cromwell and bisIronsides." Well, yes, the resemblancereferred to is evidently of the "some¬what" character. The frolicsome endxoliesome dare devili of the cowbowe,like the etern and severe and religiouscovenanters! «Some preachers do thecause they profese a great deal moreharm thso good.Thk impression has long prevailed

tbat Maryland has ceased to be a South¬ern 8tate. That impression has nowbecome indelible, since the women ofAnnapolis, the capital of that State,yesterday went to the public electioopolls and stood in line and cast ballotewith the men.

FROM WASHINGTON.ICorreependenoe of the Alexsndri» G__et..]

Washington, May 15.The Hou^e committee on tbe ju¬

diciary bad the trust bill before them.The proposition, suggesting a consti utional amendment taking the regula¬tion of trusts out of the hands of theStates and placing it in the hands oftbe government, wae approved by aparty vote. Tbe democrats opposedit ou the ground tbat it proposed totake rights aud powers from the Stateswbicb should properly be vested intbem. The amendment provides, how¬ever, that to States is reserved suchtrust legislation as msy not be adoptedby Congress. Tbe republicans are jubi¬lent in tbeir belief tbat by tbeir actiontoday tbey bave made tbe democratssubordinate trust remedial legislationio tbe preservstion of tbe State rightsdoctrine.The House committee on military af¬

fairs in executive session todsy ap¬proved a bill to increase the volunteersignal corps and at tbe urgent demandof Mr. Hay, of Virginia, decided to¿ummon the chiefs of the army bureausto express tbeir views on the army re¬organization bill. Chairman Hull wasauthorised to appoint a subcommitteeof three to prepare a report on tbeCoeur d'Alene investigation. Mr«. J.Ellen Foster subsequently sddressedthe committee demanding on behalf ofAmerican motherhood tbe abolition ofthe army canteen.Secretary Root continued ble argu-

ment io behalf of the army réorganisa¬tion bill before the House committee on

military affairs tbia morning. He reada letter from Oeueral Milee stronglyendorsing the bill. The secretary thenmade an earnest plea for the pasaage ofthe bili on tbe ground that it was tbeonly ineat.s of rectifying tbe funda¬mental error in our military system.The present separalion of line and stallwiiicb this bill wae designed to breakup, be said, occasioned constant tet-

deocy to wrong. The different perma¬nent staff corps were located hereinWashington, constantly in touch withsenators and members of Congress andof the cabinet, while the line were out

on the frontier or in tbe Hpanieh islandsConsequently tbe staff was tbe onlybranoh of the army heard by member«of Congre s and its power had been

built up by a line in this bill and a para¬graph iu tbe other, while the power ofihe line bad been decreased. This con¬

dì i ja threatened the evil of a multiplecommand of the army. The leeliDg(hat bad grown up from this cause, forexample, between the artillery andordnance, was, be said, "a material andserious obstacle to the efficiency of thearmy" aud he urged the committee tobreak up tbe present system and give¡ill branches ol tbe service a commonmerest by providing for an interchangeüf stall aud line officers, so that allwould eventually have experience ineach branch.Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General

Bristow, wbo has been ordered to takecharge of tbe Department of Posts iuCuba, accompanied by his secretary, C.A. Conrad, will leave tomorrow for Ha¬vana. The stnmpsellers who were ar¬

Benito Legard*, warning himand his family to leave the city of Ma¬nila. Oeneral O is states in his letterthat the Aguinaldo letter is forwardedto meet still further tbe absurd chargetbat tbe American authorities in Manilainaugurated the war. Aguinaldo warnsni s friends as follows: "I beg you to leaveManila with your family and to comehere to Malolos, but noi because Iwish to fiigbten you. I mere¬

ly wish to warn you tor your satis*faction, although it is not yet tbe day or

FIFTy-SIXTaTcONiiRESS.Washington, May 15.ß?????.

At the close of routine business inthe Senate today Mr. ? ark, of Mon-tana, rose to a question of privilege, hesaid, personal to himself. There was

at the lime a buzz of cot versation intbe obamber and Mr. Frye bad to raploudly for order, It bat} been noticed

-iw aiiif (he denate convened thatt?"': ? **·**a waq accompaniedMr. Clark on euu. -**» irWk-hy his chief counsel, ex Sen».._.ner. Tbey quietly sat through tbtroutine busineas and while it wasknown tbe ceee would come up to layfew were aware Mr. Clark would speaktoday. When recognized be commenc¬ed to read a long typewritten epeechAs Mr. Clark's voice is not strong a

number of· the republican Senatorsmoved over to the dsmocratic side inorder to hear what he bad to say. Atthe ontset he complained that tbeprivileges and electious committee ad¬mitted not only irrelevant, but unjusttestimony during tbe trial of the case.He i-aid be must defend bis own cbat-aoter aod the Sute which sent him

here. The republicans of Montana, beadded, who claimed to be such angelsof putity, had resorted to tbe most cor¬rupt methods ia the political campaign.He contended also tbat if tbe evidencein his c «se were carefully weighed hedid not b 'lieve the majority of tbe com-mittee would bave decided against him.Mr. Clark explained fully how behappened to enter the fight. He as·serte d pot-it i vely tbat he wae not asenatorial candidate prior to tbe Stateelectiou in 1898. He consented to become a Candidate in order to break the"one man power" in Montana. Hethen reviewed tbe struggle in Montauaand told of the legitimate businesstransactions which bis political enemies tried to .nake the committee be¬lieve were for the purpose of influencingmen to either work or vote for bim.He frequently alluded to Marcus Daly,bis millionaire rival in Montana. Mr.Clark contended stoutly that the com¬mittee admitted too much false andfiini-y testimony. Referring again toDaly he .aid tbat when it was evidentbe (Clark) would be the choice of thelegislature, Daly warned those support¬ing him that tbey would be branded as

booi 1ère and bribe-takers if they sup¬ported him. Daly bed threatened todrive bim oat of tbe State if be ran forthe Senate, aod when Daly became dee-perste be told the legist tors : "If youelect Clark I will see that he nevertakes his seat in the United StatesSeoate." Earlier in tbe fight D.ily¡said when urging his fsction to geto work : "We have a big contraeon our hsnds to defeat Clark."i'ort'uuing Mr. Clark charged thattbe opposition in Mn_t«na "manu¬factured" evidence against bim, Hesiso scored the S*oate commîtes forsaying in their report tbey did notthink it necessary to criticise Congressman Campbell, of Montana frr hie con¬nection with tbe case. He tben eav

agely denounced Campbell, declaringhe betrayed friends, procured perjuredtestimony, made a deal witb Daly ano

gol a place wi'.u bis company st $5,000a year. Cark aod his friends sup¬ported Campbell for Congre«*. Afternis election be went over to Daly. Mr.Olark reminded toe committee tbatthey could not put in tbe record of tbecase a letter written by Campbell, ss itwas too low and obscene. It wee

passed around with horror after Camp-h 11 admitted the authorship. MarcusDaly, Clark fuitaer asserted, was thefirst man whoever used money in Mon¬tana campaigns.Towards the close of bis address Mr.

Clark began to choke with emotion,especially when he said that never un¬til tbis ti» It came ou bad be been charg¬ed with any hing refi cing upou hisintegrity He then related bis humblebirth in Pennsylvania, bow be workedon a farm, taugbt school, ani workedthree years in a mine and grad¬ually became prominent ia bus¬iness and fioencial circles untilhis interests now reached from oceanto ocean. His desire bad been toleav.* a good name of which bis child¬ren might not feel ashamed. Actingon his own responsibility he had deter¬mined to tender his resignation.to re*tiro tbe credentials to tbe peo¬ple of Montana, feeling certainthey would take whatever sciioulater that might redound to tbehooor and credit of the State.Mr. Clark alluded to the pleasant asso¬ciations formed here, and sat down. In¬stantly he was surrounded by Senatorswbo for some minutes continued tograsp his hand.Mr. Chandler asked that the resolu¬

tion in the esse go over until tomor¬row.

It is understood the resignation willreach the Governor of Montana today,as it wae sent the eleventh instant.

Mr. Bacon announced tbat be wouldinsist on the consideration of his résolu·tion, relative to postoffice frauds inCuba tomorrow at tbe cloee of morningbusiners.Mr. Roes address* d the Senate on tbe

bill "regulating appointments to andremovals from civil offio s in outlyingdependencies of tbe United States."At tbe close of Mr. Ross' speech tbe

ing of the session of the House tbismorning to pa-s the bill incorporatingtbe American National Red Cross butol.j «ction was made by Messrs. Rich¬ard-ton and Bailey, wbo argued tbat itwas too important a matter to passha.-tily and presented some constitu¬tional objtcions to it in its presentform.The bill proposing to put on the re·

tired list the only four civilian signalorps men, survivors cf the Greeley ex¬

pedition to the North pole, ard to givethem rank and p»v of sergeants, wascalled up by Mr. Óverstreet, but Mr.Bailey objected and suggested tbatthese men beiog incapacitated as a re¬sult of thtir eetvices should be pension¬ed, as tbere was oo authority to retiretbem.The bill making appropriations for
