EAST AND MIDDLE WEST IN GRASP OF BLIZZARD AND INTENSE COLD
CONGRESS IS
WORRIED BY
TARIFF BILL
REVISION DISCUSSED. BUT TO
NO END
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE IS AGAIN
CONSIDERED
Payne of New York Devotes Atten
tion to Bryan, Saying He Is
Trying to Accuse
Roosevelt
Ty Associated Pn-M.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.—Tariff re
vision and the .president's recent special
message to congress again were the
main topics of <lis.us.sion in the bouse
of representatives today. As has been
the case for nearly a week the Indian
appropriation bill ostensibly was be
fore the house, but in no quarter wai
any «U»rd spoken In regard to it. The
house apparently had made up its
mind to discuss the issues of the day
;it this time and no effort was made
to check the flow of genera] debate,
which will be cun. nucil tomorrow.
A long speech by Sereno K. Payne of
New York, chairman of the ways and
means committee and majority leader
<m ibe floor, was considered Important
because of his assurances that a tariff
revision plank would be Incorporated
In the Republican national platform of
this yeai-. He ,lev.iled some attention
to Mr. Bryan, Whom be credited with
point? about the country accusing
President Roosevelt of petit larceny i"
purloining his ideas.
Payne Applauded
lie received ;i round of Republican
applause when he took the door. He
directed his remarks to the Democrats
and said I hat their political speechM
were but in pursuance of their course
each winter and spring preceding elec
tion.
•With renewed exuberance of spirits,"
he said, •with pn .ihetlc sight during
tills season of the year they carry the
next election, inaugurate a candidate
and divide up the offices."
Laughter and Republican applause
greeted thla remark.
Continuing Mr. Payne said:
"We hold our election in November,
and we will be there next November."
Mr. Payne devoted much attention
to .Mr. Bryan and said that the "peer
less leader" was wandering up and
down the country accusing Theodore
Roosevelt of grand ami petit larceny
in "purloining his Ideas." He declared
Mr. Bryan Wad written the last three
Democratic platforms, except the one
that Judge Parker amended with his
famous telegram.
More Republican applause ensued.
Mr. Payne declared that Mi. Bryan
for- four ye»S had been going among
the dwellers in the cave of Adullam,
hearing every man's complaint and
every nnn's grievance, "and," he add
ed "where there are votes behind the
complaint and voles behind the griev
ances, he immediately champions the
man's cause and when he comes to
write the platform he follows the pre
cedents of the Democratic party for
the past fifty years by putting Into
the platform something to try to catch
the unwary voter, not with regard to
fortified principles, but merely as a
Md thrown out,"
Scores Bryan
Mr. Payne said Mr. Bryan .some
times hit upon a good thing and put it
in his platforms; but, he said, when
anybody else with the same means
of information and knowledge takes the
Idea and vivifies it Into laws and puts
it into statute books, Mr. Bryan places
himself among the grand army of men
who are going- about the country say
ing. "I told you so."
Mr Payne asserted that Mr. Cockran
had eulogised the president on his late
message The question was at once
raised, he said, as to whether the
Democrats were not froins too far, and
whether their Indorsement for the
president would not hurt them at the
next election.
Mr Williams therefore, he charged,
railed a halt in the enthusiasm by
eulogizing only certain things In the
message and condemning many oth
ers. Mr. Payne t.ien entered upon a
tribute to President Roosevelt.
Roosevelt Urged to Act
Thirty representatives of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers
, 'erred with President Roosevelt in
pursuance of their desire to have him
send to congress a special message
recommending the legislation provid
ing for a tariff commission.
After the conference J. \\. \an
cleave, chairman of the organization,
announced that a pledge of entire se
crecy regarding the conference had
been taken. It was stated at the
White House that no special message
on the subject of a tariff commission
would be sent to congress by the pres
ident. The delegates seemed satisfied
with their interview, and some of
them went so far as to say that it
would be unsafe to say there would be
no special message.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—Senator

form
By Assoclatec] Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. s.—William J.
Bryan was asked today whether his
Carnegie hall speech of last night had
been Intended to include, an intimation
that free coinage of silver was still
a public issue. Mr. Bryan replied:
"No, free silver is not an issue. What
I said last night had no connection
with the silver question. I simply re
ferred to it to show that change had
taken place in the arguments that are
being made at the present time.
"The silver question was an issue in
1896 because prices were falling and
there was no other relief In sight.
Since gold production has materially
increased prices are rising or were
until the recent panic, and will again
as soon as normal conditions are re
stored. The silver question therefore
will not be an issue."
Mr. Bryan was tendered a reception
in the office of Borough President Bird
S. Coler in Brooklyn today and ad
dressed a gathering of Brooklyn men
in the corridors of the city building.
He said:
"I am glad to find that we have a
united Democratic party. I have suf
fered as much as anyone from the re
sults of a divided party and I am
gratified that we are now presenting
a united front. I hope for a Democratic
victory this fall.
"The Democratic party has taken an
advanced ground and has vindicated
■our'position. Some of our ideas have
been indorsed by President Roosevelt.
I emphasize the word some. In some
things the president Is right. Never
theless, I do not Intend to let him
push me off the Democratic platform."

ENGLAND HAS
HER EYES ON
THE PACIFIC
SQUADRON IN THE NORTH TO
BE INCREASED
Britain's Naval Strength Will Be
Added to By Several Vessels Now
in Atlantic Waters—Base
at Esquimault
By Associated Press.
HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. R,—Advices
have been received to the effect that
the British North Pacific squadron is to
be increased and that some time this
year, probably In May, the fourth
cruiser squadron will proceed to the
Pacific presumably bound for the Brit
ish naval base at Esqulmault.
The fourth squadron consists of the
cruisers Crossy, Euryalus, Hogue, Bril
liant and Indefatigable and six cruis
ers of the county class. The fortress
at Esqulmault Is now garrisoned by
Dominion troops as is that in Halifax.
The plan to send the vessels to the
Pacific is explained by local naval offi
cials as being a step in the direction of
reviving the British Pacific squadron,
which was abolished four years ago
when Sir John Fisher became first lord
of the admiralty and a policy of con
traction was adopted.
The. North Atlantic squadron was
withdrawn from Halifax at the same
time and became a part of the home
fleet in the British channel. When the
Pacific squadron was canceled, the
best of the ships were attached to the
large China fleet at Hongkong, the
others being recalled to England. Later
two ships detached from the China fleet
were sent to Esquimault and at pres
ent they are the only British vessels
in those waters. They are the Algerine
and the Shearwater, light armored
cruisers.
Two of the ships of the cruiser
squadron detailed for the Pacific
trip—the Indefatigable and the Bril
liant—have been on the West Indian
station. The other three—the Cressy,
Hogue and Eryus—have never been in
North American waters.
All five ships have recently been
overhauled and recommlssioned. They
each carry two 9-inch guns, twelve 6
inch guns, besides subsidiary arma
ments.
Esqulmault is the British naval base
on the Pacific coast, strongly fortified
and supplied with arsenal, dry dock
and dock yards. It possesses a fine
harbor at the southern end of Van
couver island and commands the ap
proach to Puget sound.
The British naval organ here, in a
fervid editorial on the plan, says that
the government and the admiralty are
to be congratulated on their decision.

port of her allegation that the marriage

tess had not been living as man and
wife.

doctor the earl of Yarmouth was capa
ble of consummating the marriage, but

thr' marriage had not been consum
mated, and he pointed out to the judge
that it wai within the discretion of the
court to annul the marriage if it were
proved that It had not been cunsum
innt.Ml.
Earl Makes No Defense
The earl of Yarmouth did not defend
the cue, hta lawyer Mitlafying himself
with pointing out that the evidence of
the doctor removed any stigma placed
on the earl by the evidence of the
plaintiff, and there were no grounds
I on which the countess could have sued
for divorce. The Judge pronounced his
decree, annulling the marriage without
comment.
In the ordinary course of events, It
will be made absolute in six months.

By Assoclitea Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. s.—Harry K.
Thaw has notified his attorneys that
they must take immediate steps to se
cure his release from the Matteawan
asylum for the criminal insane. It is
reported that Thaw demands absolute
liberty, but, being denied this, is will
ing to spend a time In a private sani
tarium where he can receive treatment
that Is to his liking.
Thaw was acquitted on Saturday of
the murder of Stanford White on the
ground that he was Insane when the
crime was committed. He was Im
mediately sent to the Matteawan
asylum. Martin W. Littleton, who was
Thaw's chief counsel during the trial,
Is known to favor Thaw's remaining
at the asylum for several months, or
until public sentiment has had an op
portunity to change before a move Is
made for his release.
Mr. Littleton, however, was engaged,
It is said, solely to conduct the case
In court and Is therefore acting at the
present solely because of his natural
interest in the case. Mr. Littleton last
night attended a conference of Thaw's
family and personal attorneys at which
the matter of his removal to some other
institution than the Matteawan asylum
was discussed.
It Is said that he stated at this con
ference that he did not believe it wiso
to ask for a writ Df habeas corpus at
this time and stated that Thaw might
be removed to a private sanitarium by
order of the state board of lunacy in
case the board could be convinced that
Thaw would be better off there than at
Matteawan.

General Political Upheaval in the Near

By Assoelateil Tress.
LISBON, Feb. s.—The announced in
tention of the new cabinet to put an
end to repression and restore the "old
liberal monarchy" which has existed
In Portugal for sixty years has had a
soothing effect on the country. Tran
ouillity Is reported from everywhere in
the interior, and today Lisbon, bask
ing In Hie brilliant sunshine, seems
perfectly peaceful.
Troops are less conspicuous on the
streets of the city, and if the day of
the funeral passes without incident the
present phase of the crisis through
which the country is passing may be
regarded as at an end.
The willingness of Machade, the Re
publican leader, and the Republicans
generally to acquiesce in this situation
if their friends are released seems to
insure a return to less strenuous
modes of political warfare. Generally
speaking, another upheaval in the near
future is considered practically im
possible.
Franco in Seclusion
Intense Interest is shown in Franco's
whereabouts. The drama centers
about him, but he remains in seclusion,
seemingly crushed in spirit. He de
clined to see correspondents to offer a
defense of his policy and explain his
downfall or his decision to retire com
pletely from the political arena. His
elimination is regretted by the com
mercial i lasses and foreign elements,
who are convinced that his sole object
was the good of the country.
The young king himself believed in
Franco. The day after . the tragedy,
while unbosoming himself to a life
long friend, he said:
"I intend to retain Franco. He was
I my father's friend and shall be mine."
It is well known, however, that the
dowager has always been hostile to
the former premier, and latterly Queen
Araelie shared the view that the dic
tatorship had been carried too far.
She is said to have remonstrated with
him that it might end In a tragedy
and Invoked him in behalf of a milder
course, In memory of what their own
family had suffered in Frarnoe.
On the day of' the assassinations,
amid the confusion of that memorable
scene in the arsenal quadrangle, where
the royal carriage took refuge, when
beside herself with grief, the queen
turned on Franco and cried:
"That Is what your work has done!"
The reconciliation of these two ut
terances with the influences at work
is believed to furnish the true key to
the secret of Franco's downfall.
