ther alleged, Godman pulled out a revolver
from hl3 hip pocket a.nd.poln,tedit..at
Green. " lrW-
During the controversy which followed,
it Is alleged, Goodman three times pointed
the rev cher at Mr. Greene and threatened
each time to shoot him.
Mr. Greene excused himself, leaving
Godman in the room, with Mr. Rocblns.
the secretary of the company. Mr. Greene
hurried to the Old Slip Police Station and
tcld about the trouble. Patrolmen were
ent posthaste to the office and Goodman

volvers had been taken from him. laugh
ingly said:
"Well, you've got them all."
Goodman was then taken at once to the

The defendant asked for a postponement
and the Magistrate, turing to Mr. Greene,

Pariiv April 9 Although the Anglo
French colonial treaty, just slgnd. mikes
no specific refe-ence to any protectorates.
It is row recognised that between the
linai the treaty means the establishment
of a French protectorate over Morrocco
similar to the present protectorate of
Fiance ov er Tunis, auo that It makes per
manent the British protectorate over
Egypt.
Thus the effect of the treaty Is to tran
frm the entire political geography of
Northern Africa, with Great Britain dom
inating me eastern shores Of the Mediter
ranean and France the western shores.
'Article 1 specifies that France will
not trammel Great Britain by asking
that a limit of time be fixed for the Brit
ish occupation of Egypt. Heretofore the
duration of Great Britain's stay in Egjpt
has been open to doubt. France being the
chief objector to the permanency of the
British occupation. Therefore, the fore
going declaration Is the first tangible
recognition of Great Britain's intention to
remain in Egypt and France's willingness
that she shall remain there.
On the other, hand, article 2 recites
that It pertains to France alone to pre
serve order In Morocco and furnish as
sistance in all administrative, economic
financial and military reforms. This is
considered equivalent to the beginning of
a French protectorate over Morocco.
-Whlle France still 'has to' settle with
Spain concerning Morocco's future, there
is no doubt that the Anglo-French. agree
ment will speedily be followed upby steps
to make the protectorate a reality.
Foreign Minister Delcasse has frequent
ly discussed Morocco with United States
Ambassador Porter and other Ambassa
dors, Indicating; the difficulties of dealing
with the Moroccans who live for in the
Interior, requiring an expedition to march
ten days In order to reach them. Be com
pared France's dealings with the Moroc
cans with the United States' dealings
with the Americas Indians lacking tribal
organization. However, It Is now expect
ed that the signing of the treaty soon
wlU be followed by modern reforms and
conditions In Morocco.

This action has been taken in order to

4 Indignation meeting, and that the t
4 charge has been copied by other 4
4 papers In the State. A man who 4)
4 would be guilty of so grave a 4

4 any reputable person, of any creed

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Holden. Mo . April 9 When Circuit At
torney Folk's attention was called this
morning to the story, printed chiefly In
Republican newspapers, that he was fix
ing a slate of all State offices, he entered
a most vigorous denial. He said:
"I have made no slate, and I have not
consented to the making of any, and I
have not and will not attempt to dictate
to the Democratic party whom It shall
nominate for other places on the ticket.
That is the 'duty of the convention.
"There is no alliance of any-kind with
other candidates. There has heen no slate
made and there will be none except by
the convention itself. No one has the au
thority to be making slates, and I want
the rank and Ola of the Democratic party
to select their own candidates.
"I am contending for the win of the
people, and I want the people to rule in
the selection of their candidates as In
other things.
"As to certain appointments having al
ready been decided upon, I wish to say
that that Is absolutely untrue. It I am
elected Governor, I shall go Into tha' of
fice free from any promises of any kind."

Washington, April 9 After glancing
over tho returns In the Washington Bu
reau of The Republio to-hlghf. Congress
man Benton, who announced his personal
friendship for the Folk movement several
months ago, talked of the situation.
The returns last Saturday and to-day,"
said he. "following those of the week be
fore, indicate very clearly Jthat Mr. Folk
'ls-ta-'osisfnlmtcl -.The.fcest t-easoBjssr
believing this Is the fact that his counties)
are -la all parts of the State. He has car
ried the only county in the First Obn
gresslona! District that has spoken; the
first in the Thirteenth: all in the Four
teenth, unless we take out New Madrid,
which is contested; all three to the Fif
teenth; the first county in the Sixth; the
first in the Eighth; the first in the Sev
enth; two out of three In the Fourth; the
first in the Sixteenth; three out of four in
the Third and thefourth In that district,
Clinton, is contested.
This shows a strength In all parts of
the State. It will be noted that when he
gets a primary elecUon, he sweeps every
thing before him. The political lesson that
this bears is that the people of the party,
tie plain voters, the men who make ma
jorities on election day, want "Mr. Folk
nominated for Governor.
"It tails another story that the poli
tician too often falls to learn unUl he
learns it at his own cost. The plain Dem
ocrat, the farmer, the merchant, the me
chanic, the professional man, who is not
a politician, usually permits the politicians
at the State capital, in the big towns and
in the county seats to do the fixing. Once
In awhile this same plain Democrat con
cludes that he wants to run the machine
himself.
"After the Orano, Jury disclosures of
last summer It was apparent 'to a careful
man who listened that the people had be
come aroused and intended again to take
a hand. The politicians did not believe
It, and have only awakened to the truth
within the last few weeks. Not only will
Mr. Folk get the Democratic vote, but
there are a large number of Republicans
in Missouri who believe in honest poli
tics and good government, and who be
lieve in rewarding a public servant who
has the courage to do his full duty.
'It ca'ls to my mlna an anecdote. At a
picnic last fall ha Mlwurf a little drum
mer was crgulng against Folk to an old
countryman. Said the drummer:
"Well, what nas Folk done? Simply
nothing but his duty.'
Tee.' said Unci Abner. "but he's the
onllest man that's done that.'
"It 'neures the Legislature by an over
whelming majority."

organized labor, and where attempts were
made to form clubs of union men. was
not realized in any of the gas-belt towns,
where primaries were held last night to

' In the gas belt towns the laboring men
controll all conventions, but In the pri

In Posey County a solid delegation of r
sixteen was selected by the Parker men,

that Hearst will not have more than 100
of the 13) delegates In the State Conven

Hth St. sad PesniylreaU Ave.
Washington. April 9 W. Bourke Cock
ran of New York delivered in the House
to-day a speech which rang with all of
his wonted and moving eloquence, and
which Is estimated by Congressmen, Irre
spective of party, as an oratorical address
of such power that it easily may become
historical- It rendered notable the New
Yorker's return to Congress after nine
years absence.
Mr. Cockran introduced several days
ago a resolution calling upon the Attor
ney General to Inquire into the facts sur
rounding the pension order, and to re
port to the House of Representatives
whether or not the constitutional rights
of that body had been Invaded. Repre
sentative Dalxell of Pennsylvania, from
the Committee on Rules, reported the res
olution In the House, this morning with
the recommendation that It should lie on
the table. It was. then that the Speaker
recognized Mr. Cockran amid a tumult
of applause on the Democratic side
COCKRAN'8 SPEECH.
He sold the resolution was ' offered
solely to vindicate the dignity of the
HouTe. He did not. he said, question the
propriety of paying liberal pensions- "to
Federal soldiers, but h-declared, that
the basis of these payments "should be
the laws of Congre&s "and not any set

by the House, "what fragment
of power Is there eftvtotheJJlQUeT By
one stroke of the" pen, be declared, the
President had appropriated 00,000.000, and
he said It was a matter with which Con
gress must deal, if it has any regard "Tor
Its own powers or if It be animated y a
shadow of loyalty for the Constitution
which created It
He vigorously asserted that "we are
here at the parting of the ways." and in
quired "If this order be -folerated without
protest by the House what power is that
the executive order cannot usurp? What
fragment of control over the country's
purse 7"
Continuing, he added that "this pretense
of interpretation of the law is but aihol
low mockery and a play of words," and
added: "It is known by the man who
wrote it, as shown by the order Itself."
DECLINE OF POWER.
After attacking what he declared to bo
the Presldent'snsurpatlon or power or In
terpretation, when he said that the order
should not be retroactive, Mr. Cockran
appealed to members on both sides of tho
Houe "to consider the enormity of this
proposal," which, he said, affected the lib
erty and safety of the Government. In
his opinion the steady decline Jn the dig
nity of the House had attracted much at
tention. In sarcastic vein he declared that the
President allowed Congress the privilege
of declaring war, and he was loudly ap
plauded by the Democrats when it added:
"But the President makes war when ha
chooses to."
USURPATION OF POWER.
He referred to attempts made In Eng
land to usurp the legislative authority and
declared that the President's order was
the usurpation of power "not by appro
priation, but by interpretation." which he
attributed to the "pusillanimous failure of
Congress to do Its duty to itselL" Con
gress had control of the purse and if it
would exercise that control, he insisted,
every privilege that belonged lo it will
come back. He dwelt at length on the
inalienable right of the House to origi
nate revenue bllls and urged the members
to assert that right.
STAND UPON ITS RIGHTS.
Continuing he inquired if It were possible
that the House must confess, now that Its
last intrenebment has been made "by a.
subordinate executive officer." and sax"
that the contempt which had been ex
tended to the House and the violation of
Its rights, constituted the measure' of re
spect, attention and submission which it
deerved
Reverting to the President's order, Mr.
Cockran contended that the Secretary of
the Interior justified the action upon the
precedent of President Cleveland. "Weil,
sir." be said, pacing up and down tho
center aisle, "if that be so, then In God's
name let us condemn that act of Mr,
Cleveland's as vehemently as the act of
any Republican President- The disposi
tion to jostlfy almost everything by
pleadlrg "that Mr. Cleveland did it," he
vigorously declared. "Is the highest of
compliments that can be paid to a man
by any Congress in our political history.
Continuing, he said: "You tell n. Mr.
Cleveland did it. and therefore it must be
regular. If this act was committed by Mr.
Cleveland the confidence which he enjoys
adds to Its danger and does not lessen it-"
He closed amid a storm of applause by ap
pealing to both sides of the Honse to units
on a declaration of rights "beyond which
the aggression of the Senate or of the ex- ..
ecutlve ahaU not go." -
