Tillman Is Lashed by Spooner;
Merchant Marine Act Favored
SOLON FROM SOUTH
GETS HOT SHOTS
Wisconsin Senator Arraigns
Opponent for Utterances
on the Negro Question
BURNING WORDS USED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.— In his firroat
Fpeech on th« Brownsville affair today
Senator Spooner administered a stlng
iriK rebuke to Frnator Tillman for his
utterances on the race question. He
called the South Carolina Senator to
sharp account for his recent speechea
in the Senat* and elsewhere and
charged him with doing: more than any
other man to disturb the amicable re
lations that should exist between the
white and the black races of tho South
ern States, assailing Tillman as having
tried to arouse a spirit of enmity be
tween the races. Spooner quoted from
Tillman's addresses on the question, to
show hJs advocacy of lawlessness and
lynchlngr and declared that it was with
very bad grace and poor lopric that Till
man now denounced "in the name of
Justice and liberty" the discharge of the
colored troops of the Twenty-flfth In
fantry without honor and without a
trial. Spooner referred to Tillman's
"•mania" for attacking President Roose
velt and In the strongest terms de
nounced thp South Carolina Senator's
practice of employing the most radical
and violent language in declaring the
supremacy of the white race In the
South.
Spooner was frequently Interrupted
by Tillman, who plainly showed that he
felt very keenly the caustic criticisms
of the Wisconsin Senator. / Tillman said
at the conclusion of Spooner's speech
that .he would later take some notice of
the "Insulting remarks."
Spooner's address received the close
attention of the Senate. His personal
remarks against Tillman created in
tense Interest, and it is not doubted
that Spooner had the sympathy of prac
tically every Senator; in fact, he made
It very clear that he believed no Sen
ator from the South upheld Tillman's
views on the race question.
The question of the constitutional
authority and power of the President
and of Congress, as concerned in the
Brownsville affair, was exhaustively
discussed by Spooner. He fully In
dorsed the President's action in the
matter, although he said frankly that
the President's mode of procedure
might have been better. Spooner spoke
for four hours to an audience that
packed the galleries and filled the
Senate floor.
The debate is likely to continue
through the week. Meanwhile there
•will probably be an agreement reached
by the Republican leaders upon a reso
lution of Inquiry into the Brownsville
riot that would be satisfactory in Its
terms to all concerned.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
GAINS SUPPORT
House Committee Votes to
Make Favorable ! Report
on Littauer's Measure
AIDS PACIFIC COAST
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15— After a
fight that lasted all day and extended
to the floor of the House, threatening
to bring about much filibustering at
one time, the House committee on Mer
chant marine and fisheries finally de
cided at 6 o'clock p. m. by a vote of 8
to "7 to make a' favorable report on a
ship subsidy bill prepared by Repre- '
sentative Littauer of New York as a
substitute for the Grosvenor bill, which
has been under consideration for many
•w^eks.
The members of the committee sup
porting the measure were Representa
tives Grosvenor, Littlefleld, Miner,
Fordney, Wachter, Humphrey, Watson
and Littauer. all Republicans. Th*
negati\-e vote* were cast by Represen
tatives Birdsall. Wilson and Hinshaw,
Republicans, and Gould. Maynard. Shir
ley and Patterson, Democrats.
Seven subsidized mall lines are pro
vided for, with an additional subven
tion estimated at $3,700,000. Two of
the lines are to be from the Atlantic
Coast to South America and one from
the gulf of Mexico to Colon. From the
Pacific Coast there are to be three lines
to the Orient and one line to the wesi
coast of South America.
Only two changts were made In the
bill as originally drawn by Littauei.
Instead of actually fixing San Francisco
and Puget Sound as the points of
departure of the two lines to Japan,
China and the Philippines, the commit
tee amended Littauer's bill so that tb«
one Is to start from a point north of
Cape Mendocino and the other from a
point south of Cape Mendicino.
SENATE BILL DEFEATED
At the morning session the Senate
ship subsidy bill, which carries a ton
nage subsidy and is said to be ex
tremely distasteful to Speaker Cannon,
was laid before the committee by Lit
tauer, and several Democrats voted for
it. Republicans changed their votes in
order to defeat it and gave a compro
mise bill consideration, which it was
thought would have a better chance
with Republican House leaders.
The committee adjourned to meet
again at 4 o'clock, and when a motion
was made to have the House adjourn
at that time the Democrats began a fili
buster jn an attempt to keep the House
in session, thus preventing the mer
chant marine and fisheries committee
from meeting and reaching an agree
ment. The minority leader, Williams,
demanded a yea. and nay vote on the
adjournment vote, but a connt showed
that a quorum was not present and the
House adjourned by a vote of 143 to 77.
The substitute prepared by Littauer
and which was amended by the com
mitee, as noted above, provides for a
naval reserve fleet along the lines of
<he Senate subsidy bill. It amends the
act of 1691 by specifically providing for
seven routes, as follows:
One from the Atlantic Coast of the
United States to Rio de Janeiro; one
from the Atlantic Coast to Buenos
Ayres; one from a gulf port to Colon;
one from Puget Sound to Chile; two
lines to^the Orient, one direct from
Puget Sound and the others from San
Francisco by way of Hawaii, and final
ly an addition to tbe oceanic line from
San Francisco to Australia.
FOR USE IX WAIt
The bill requires that all ships be of
sixteen knots speed except, that from
the Gulf of Panama, \u25a0which are to be
fourteen knots. It requires that the
ships be built In .America and owned
by Americans and repaired in American
drydocks: that they shall be avail
able as auxiliary cruisers in time of
war. To meet the requirements of
the bill about thirty-five ships would
be requir<»d, and most of these would
have to be built. The annual cost to
the Government, with all of the ships
in operation on a two weeks' service
basis. Is estimated at $3,750,000. Prior
to the completion of the ships a four
weeks' service is provided. It would
require several years to build the
ships.
In detail, with the fortnightly ser
vice, the line to Rio would receive
$000,000 annually; to Buenos Ayres,
$800,000; the wost coast line. $600,000;
the two Oriental lines. $700,000 each;
the Colon line, $75,000; the Australian
line. $200,000 in addition to the $300,000
now received.

THE SAN FRANCISCO- C^
SEALING COMPANY
DENIES CHARGES
North American Commercial
Says It Has Kept Faith
With the Government
REPLIES TO ELLIOTT
At the offices of the North American
Commercial Company positive denial
was made yesterday of the charges
preferred in Washington by Professor
H. W. Elliott to the effect that the San
Francisco company had violated its
lease by engaging in pelagic sealing In
Alaskan waters.
"The charge, is false," sahi President
11. H. Taylor. "The company has never
engaged in pelagic sealing. We secured
our* lease after competitive bidding
and we have • adhered strictly to its
terms. Only the surplus male seals are
killed, and this is done under the su
pervision of Federal agents."
It is asserted by officers of the com
pany that Elliott -is an agitator and
makes his charges with nothing to sub
stantiate them. It is claimed that he is
discredited in official circles. The com
pany has letters from Elliott, its of
ficers assert, in which he speaks in the
highest terms of the manner in which
the corporation has conducted Its busi
ness. His sudden change of front is not
understood.
TEBMS OF THE LEASE
The Northern Commercial succeeds to
the leases formerly held by the Alaska
Commercial Company. In IS7O the
Alaska Commercial Company after com
petitive bidding was given exclusive
sealing rights by the Government on
the Pribyloff Islands, In Bering Sea.
Under the lease and the treaty with
Great Britain the company was not to
engage in pelagic sealing, which means
scaling on the open sea. , The Alaska
Commercial Company's lease expired in
1890. In that year it was awarded to
the Northern Commercial Company, to
run for twenty years. It will therefore
not expire until 1910. The two compa
nies are made up of D. O. Mills, Lloyd
Tevis, Hermann and Isaac Liebes and
other prominent business men of San
Francisco and New York.
W. If. Elliott, a former agent of the
Treasury Department, has made charges
\u25a0before a Congressional committee,
claiming that the Northern Commercial
Company has violated Its agreement
by sending out pelagic expeditions and
intriguing with Herbert H. D. Peirce,
United States Minister to Norway, who
farmerly was Third Assistant Secretary
of State.
H. H. Taylor, the representative of
D. O. Mills and president of the North
ern Commercial Company, said that he
had heard nothing from the company's
representative in the East beyond the
fact that the charges had been brought-
Taylor pointed out that the charges
were based upon matters alleged to
have occurred from six to twenty years
ago. He said that if Elliott had any
foundation for his charges he would
have brought them forward before
this. As it is, several of the men ac-.
cused have been dead many years.
ROLE PLAYED BY ELLIOTT
Elliott went 'first to the Pribyloffs in
1572 and again in 1874 as a representa T
tive of the Treasury Department. He
next visited the sealing grounds In 1876
as a guest of the company. Of this
visit it is pointed out that Elliott has
made no mention in his various writ
ings. In 1890 Elliott made another
trip to the islands for the Government.
After this his official connection with
the Government and the sealing indus
try lapsed, as far as # ls known. Elliott,
nevertheless, paid occasional visits to
the Pribyloffs and wrote books on ! the
sealing question. He took a deep in
terest In the sealing controversy be
tween England and America, which was
setled by a treaty drawn up in Paris.
It is claimed that Elliott's part in this
matter was not greatly to his credit.
Elliott was in some manner connect
ed with the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, and through his writings
came into conflict with President Jor
dan of Stanford.
That Elliott's opposition to the North
American Commercial Company is not
of recent date is attested by the follow
ing, which appeared in the Washington
letter of the Fur Trade Review under
date of January 25, 1905:
The niost jictlrp agitator throughout this epi
sode In ft wlnlpr vii Henry W. Elliott, who.
for rea«ons bent known to hims.-ir. baa for sev
rral rears rntli-n vorf.l to secure tho itassare of
a hill to destroy the bunlness of the North
American Commercial Company under their con
tract vrMt the Government for tbe taking "of
seal* oa tiie Prlljyloff Island*.
Elliott's home is in Cleveland, where
he owns considerable property.

DIVORCE REFUSED
TO MRS ENNIS
Freight Solicitor Denies
Intemperance and Makes
Serious Counter Charges
DID THE HOUSEWORK
Elizabeth Ennis and Carlton J. Ennis,
a solicitor in the freight department of
the Santa Fe Railroad \u0084 offices, each
failed -to obtain a divorce from the
other in a suit tried yesterday .in Judge
Hosmer's court.' - Mrs. ,\ Ennis brought
suit on a complaint, charging her hus
band with habitual intemperance, and
he answered with a cross-complaint ac
cusing ,her of desertion". '. Mrs. .Ennis
testified that he was almost continually
in a state of , intoxication, but he intro
duced several witnesses, including the
men with whom he works and the offi
cials in charge of his department, who
testifled that they had. never known
him to indulge too freely.
V) Ennis, on his part, asserted that his
wife had been negligent in her. duty
as a. housewife. and a, mother; that she
had 'abused him and on one occasion
refused to allow him to call a physician
when their baby was ill with diph
theria. He asserted that his wife had

Hanson testified that she, and her hus
h,and got, along happily together while
he was a longshoreman, but that when
he became a captain, their home life
drifted into miserable depths.. She told
the court that just before her husband
left on a northern trip on December 24
they had agreed that she was to apply
for a divorce. The. decree was refused
in spite of her tearful plea, and she
was advised to return to her husband
and talk it over with the idea of for
getting' past differences.

PROGRESS OF JIAXHATTAX
Much Work Being Done. Aided by im-
proved Methods
Concerning progress In the Manhat
tan district the Goldneld News says:
Starting, from the rim of the Ralston Desert
and journeying . westward toward the PeaTino
Ha use, one passes by or acro99 a succession, of
mining properties' undergoing energetic derelop
ment until the Desert Queen estate, fifteen miles
distant, is reached.
In tbe Kast Manhattan geotlon an area ex
tending from and including the copper belt to
the Manhattan Mammoth efltate, mining activity
is particularly marked. The first propertj t«
attract attention by Its mlneTal showing In that
owned by the Johannesburg Copper and Gold Min
ing Company, situated to the north of the To
quima Copper Company's acreage and about a
half-mile distant from the old Belmont road. Six
men are ensued in driving a tunnel on the
holdings for the pnrpose of exploring and Pro»«U
up a series of ledges which yield encouragtas
gold and copper yalnes. _
On the acreage of the Bonanza Copper Co
mpany a shaft la being sunk for the purpose oc
catching the big Toquima fissure on Its oip. «
it is deepened the percentage of copper in im
general formation penetrated Is Increasing, as l*
likwise the gold jrrarte jkt ton. The Kalston
Valley Gold and Copper Company is likewise en
gaped in shaft-sinking under mineral conditions
1 which bespeak the location of a commercial srraae
of the red metal as soon as the permanent or«
zone is entered. The Toqnima, Bonanza ana
Ralston Valley companies are la a measure anal
agoua corporations, that is. in so far a* tpeir
development and the treatment of their product
Is concerned. Each depends upon the other in *
measure to establish the value of the three, ana
all are to unite in the erection and operation of
a concentrating plant for the treatment of tneir
combined product.
Just above the little settlement at East Man
: hattan is situated the estate of the Manhattan
Buffalo Company, a scene of long prosecuted and
! systematic mining research and very encouraging
f gold values. Early In the present year a mill
is to be erected at the mine for the treatment
of both Its shipping and milling product. S" 11
farther westward along the chain is situated tn*
acreage of the Manhattan Red Top Mining Com
pany, where an extensive body of milling quart*
was recently encountered.
The contract recently let for 50 feet of stnfe-
In* In the Knsle shaft is progressing with ra
pidity under the supervision of George S. Hop
kins. California capital is backing the enter
prise.
\u25a0 Excellent progress is being made In drivin X
the huge tunnel on the Manhattan Mammoth es
tate, and it is but a question of feet until th«
first of a series of promising ledges which cros*
the acreage is tapped. It is the intention to
prospect and prove up each of these veins la
> turn and at tbe same time to continue drivins
in the main tunnel until the entire acreage has
been intersected.
The Manhattan Consolidated and Consolidated
Extension estates compose two massive links in
the long chain of mines which band tbe camp
of Manhattan, and a scarcely less important link
Is found at the. property of the Manhattan Pine
Nut Company.
On the adjacent estate, owned by the Toqnima
Copper Company, mining energy is confined to
driving the main working shaft to water level.
Near the Pine Nut and Consolidated are tbe
acreages of the Pine Nut Extension. White Cap.
Manhattan-Virginia and Zanzibar companies. The
Zanzibar is being developed by means of a tun
nel, and sume weeks since tbe big Consolidated
contact was tapped therein. Pine Nut Exten
sion ground is the scene of extensive mining ef
fort, and for the depth attained gold values ar«
iii par with other properties in that section.
A plant of machinery is to be installed early in
the spring. Mining energy at the Manhattan-
Virginia property is concentrated at the main
; working shaft, which is going down with re
markable rapidity, considering the character of
the formation. ;
Some of the richest float In the district has
been picked up on Broncho ground, and on botb
that estate and those owned by the Mustang
and Mustang Extension companies the vein sy»
: terns are well defined and carry a commercial
: grade of milling ore streaked with stringers of
higher grade.
In the Gold Hill *ection are situated th»
Stray Dog. Indian Camp. Union No. 9, Jumping
Jack. Wolftone. As-You-JLQce-It. Little Grey and
other mines.
At a point within the town limits of Man
hattan and about midway between the Ralstoa
Desert and Smoky Valley Is situated the acre
age of the Seyler-Humphrey Mining Company.
O-n the April Fool claim of this estate the first
discovery of gold In the Manhattan district was
made. Shipments of high-grade ore have been
made, the shaft equipped with a powerful, hoist
ing plant and a large tonnage of milling quartz
mined and piled on tbe dump.
North and east of the Seyter-Humphrey Is sit
uated the acreage of the Manhattan Standard .
Gold Mining Company, one of the first In the
camp to install machinery and prosecute sys
tematic development. A well-mlnerallzed con
tact of large proportions crosses the holdings
and is being tested and explored. i- -
In the extreme west end of the district ex
tensive mining operations are In vogue on the
properties of the Santa Lola. Desert Queen.
Wolftone Extension. Emrrald, Silver Pick and
( Manhattan Kewanas companies. AH of these
holdings are to be equipped with hoisting ma'
chinery by tbe. advent of spring.
, Of the properties In tbe west end of tbe
camp the Paymaster and Independence Consoll
i dated have been worked oa a more extensive
i scale than the others mentioned. The ledjea
has been prospected at the aurface for a length
of nearly, 1000 feet, and invariably with good
results In the • way of precious metal values. - 1
In the west end of the camp, is the Manhattan
Combination Company, r Quite a tonnage of high
grade ore was mined during the last few months
of 1906 at the surface and nominal depth from
the main ledge crossing tbe estate, and ore of
like character Is now being mined at muea
greater depth.
The present year will mark the • placing of
Manhattan on the railroad map.*, and by too**
In the "know" It is predicted that railroad
facilities will be afforded the camp before next
fall.
Adequate milling facilities are assured the
camp early In the present year, sufficient guar
antee of the fact being found In the work
along that line being done by the Tonopah Ex
pioitntlcn Company.

Graham yesterday for the estate of
William P. Browning, a refugee at
the Ingleslde Camp, who died a few
days ago. Browning was supposed to
be destitute and without means of sup

fire. His death revealed the fact that
he had about' $3000 In banks In this
city and $2000 worth of valuable
stock.
