1 1 1 i >>i nos a Crime Attalnst Lib
ert) Warning of Statesmen.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.— The house
teclay passed the diplomatic ar.d con
sular appropriation bill without
amendment. Durlnp the general de
bate two set speeches were made
against imperialism by Messrs.Carmack
and Qaines, of Tennessee. The diplo
matic and consular is the sixth of the
regular appropriation bills to pass the
house, budgets yet remain to
be acted upon.
Mr. Hltt (Rep.. 111.), chairman of
the foreign relations committee, made
tht- preliminary statement of the meas-
Dre, which he said carried $1,705,5:13,
being $12.. _ M less than the estimates
and $46,675 less than the current law.
All diplomatic and consular offices in
the HawaKaii islands, Porto Rico and
Cuba were abolished by the bill, effect
ing a saving in salaries of $4..,000.
There was some criticism by Mr.
Handy (Dem.. Del.) of the conduct of
the bureau of American republics un
der the former director, the late Joseph
P. Smith, which drew out a warm de
fense of that officer from Mr. Hitt.
The latter said that, while Mr. Smith
may have developed certain lines of
the woik of the bureau beyond the
limitations, there should be no asper
sion upon a conscientious, able and
faithful officer, whose zeal may have
led him too far. Mr. Smith, he said,
had sacrificed his life to his devotion
to duty.
Mr. Dinsmore then yielded two hours
to Mr. Carmack (Dem.. Term.), who
delivered a carefully prepared argu
ment in opposition to the policy of the
administration relative to the Philip
pines. He protested against launehirnr
this government on a career of con
quest and criminal aggression. The
president, he declared, was now wag
ing war upon his own responsibility,
for his own purpose. While the war
against Spain had been blessed of
God, this war for the conquest of the
Philippines was a crime against lib
erty, and the curse of God was upon
it. It revolutionized every tradition
of the republic. It was being entered
upun thoughtlessly and recklessly,
without considering the cost. It was
in utter contempt of the solemn warn
ings of the greatest and wisest of our
statesmen. The flag was to be kept
floating over the Philippines, but not
a single freeman was to stand beneath
its folds. A country that was not fit
for p. freeman's home was not fit for
a free man's flag. (Democratic ap
plause.) He spoke of the tremendous
cost distant possessions would entail
upon us. drawing his illustrations from
the countries of Europe. England, he
said, expended one-third of her reve
nue for the cost of past wars and one
thiid in preparing for future wars.
Only one-third was expended to meet
the current necessities of government.
But more than the monetary cost, !
said he. would be the loss of our sense
of security and peace of mind. War j
all around threatened us constantly, j
and to meet it we would have to be
armed to the teeth <>n sea and land.
Once a nation tasted of colonial em
pire, it became a passion. The appe- j
tin- was never satisfied. Yet one of j
the world's greatest men had declared j
that colonial empire had never been a •
source of power to any country. 1
Macaulay affirmed it. Lord Beacons- I
field declared that England's colonies i
were a millstone about her neck. He
referred sarcastically to Secretary
Gage's alleged statement that Chris
tian civilization and 5 per cent profit
could go hand in hand. He wanted to
know if we cou'.d serve God and mam
mon at the same time.
Mr. Carmack was liberally applaud- |
ed and congratulated by his colleagues 1
•vhen he concluded.
Mr. Games (Dem., Term.) followed j
with an argument against the power
of the United States to acquire terri
tory except for the purpose of making
states id such territory.
At the conclusion of Mr. Games re
marks, Mr. Hitt announced that his
side did not desire to consume the
time allotted to it, and the bill was re
ported to the house and passed with
out division or amendment.
On motion of Mr. Lacey, the bill to
extend the scope of the fish commis- |
sion to game birds was sent to con- !
ference. after a motion to postpone 1
the bill indefinitely had been voted i
down. 38-71.
A bill was passed authorizing the *
Little River Railway company to ',
construct a railway through the Choc
taw •• and Chickasaw Indian reserva
tions.
WILL MAKE CONCESSIONS.
Amerienn Lnm liermen Disposed to
Deal Fairly With Canadians.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.— .Representatives j
t>f the American and Canadian lumber inter- '
e.ts met in conference here today. Among j
the American lumbermen were W. C. Mc- j
("lure, of Duluth; S. T. McKnigat, C. A. I
Smi'h and B. P. Nelson, of Minneapolis; Will- I
iani Irvine, cf Chippewa Falls, Wis.; E. L. !
McCormick, Hayward, Wis.; Judge J. W '
Cochran, of Ashland, Wis.
Thtr: was also present United States High
Joint Coinuii.-sioner John A. Kasson, Congress- I
men Stewart, lirous.ard and Tawney. and Mr. !
Charlton, a member of the Canadian high
Joint committee. Mr. Charltin, the first
speaker, was followed by Representative
Tawney. and he by Mr. Kdwards.
Lumber, It is said, has been the ro;k on
which the I'nittd States and Canadian jo'nt
commissioner*' have split in every effort at
ajriement on a reciprocity treaty. The Ca
nadians have been willing to make any
reasonable concessions fcr free white pine,
but have hesitated to agree to any conces
sions without important reciprocal advantages
on lumber. Free admission to Canada cf
American forest products and free expjrt of
raw logs 2nd pulp wood are the concessions
the Canadians offer. In exchange for the
proposed concession, the Canadians at this
morning's ses.lon put in a strong plea for
free lumber The Americans, however, pro
duced data, tending lo -h..w that the manu
facture o£ lumber in Canada Is much cheaper
than in the United States, and that their
proximity to the New England market and
the important concessions granted them by
the Canadian roads, places the Northwestern
and Southeastern product of the United States
at a very great disadvantage and conseQuently
C.eir dtmand is wholly untenable. It seems
probable, however, that the American lum
b:iir.en. rather than that the pending treaty
between the two countries should completely
fall, will consent to a concession of 20 per
cent from the present $2 rate.

Dupuy Insists Thai the I'tmo.t
FalrneHN Shall Prevail (•overn
luent Sustained at Every Point.
PARIS, Jan. 12 —The chamber of
I deputies was crowded today. Paul
'< Deschanel, in taking tho chair, said
that France loved both the army and
justice, lie dwelt upon the danger of
internal dissensions, appealing to dep
uties to be calm and moderate. Then,
on the motion of M. Dupuy, the pre
mier, the chamber decided to proceed
immediately to discuss the Interpella
tion of Lucien Millevoy, Republican
Nationalist, respecting M. de Beaure
' paire's accusations against the court
of cassation. M. Millevoy, amid a con
stantly growing tumult, dwelt upon the
sensation caused by these accusations,
and declared it impossible to continue
the revision proceedings under present
conditions. He read M. de Beaure
paire's statements and demanded the
adoption of disciplinary measures
I against the guilty judges, asserting
j that it was for the chamber and the
! government to take steps to allay pub
! lie excitement.
J Joseph Lasies, p!cb!scitaire-anti
j Semite deputy for Condom, in the de
| partment of Gers, evoked considerable
; applause by asserting that the country
had had enough of the Dreyfus affair,
but the tumult was speedily renewed
when he began a violent attack upon
M. Loew, president of the criminal
bianch of the court of cassation; M.
Manau, the procurer general, and M.
Bard, official reporter to the court upon
I the original appeal of Mme. Dreyfus
! for revision.
"Their actions," he said, "call for the
closest scrutiny."
PREMIER PROTESTS.
M. Dupuy rose to protest against the
attacks of M. Lasies upon the judi
ciary.
The president of the chamber (M.
Deschanel) called M. Lasies to order,
but the deputy continued long enough,
amid a deafening uproar, to make a
definite charge against the criminal
branch of the court of cassation dis
playing partiality and to declare that
the Dreyfus faction was being sup
ported by foreign gold.
M. Lebret, minister of justice, said
that undoubtedly a fresh incident had
arisen in connection with the affair,
but as a citizen and a deputy he cher
ished opinions to which he was faith
ful. As minister of justice he had
certain duties to perform, and in per
forming them he would not falter. His
first duty, he went on to say, was to
assure the regular course of law As
certain charges had been brought
against a judge he had made them the
subject of special, searching and sin
cere inquiries. __. Lebiet then re
counted the details of the Bard-Pic
quart incident already cabled. With
teference to M. Bard's addressing Pic
quart as "colonel," the minister of jus
lice said that the generals themselves
continue to call him "colonel " and
Capt. Erique, Picquarts jailer, had
been ordered to do so.
This statement was followed by a
great uproar, M. Lasies moving a
suspension of the session in order to
allow the minister for war, M. de Frey
cinet, to be summoned.
M. Lebret, ignoring the interruption
went on to declare that inquiry into
M. de Beaurepaire's original charges
showed that all the witnesses had been
treated in the same fashion by the
court of cassation, which had invarja- !
bly expressed regret at having to trou
ble them to attend. The court he
remarked, regarded such refreshments
as had been served to any as at the !
disposal of all witnesses, for they
consisted only of a jug of water anda
bottle of rum. (Cries of Oh, oh! and
shouts of laughter.) He continued by
requesting M. Beaurepaire to draw up
a formal list of charges into which M
Mazau, first president of the court of
cassation, could Inquire.
Paul de Cassagnae, Conservative
deputy for Mirande, in the depart
ment of Gers, followed. He said that
he thought the ministerial explana
tions utterly inadequate, equivocal and
suspicious. The Republicans were an
swerable for the present deplorable
state of affairs.
SEDAN AND FASHODA.
Violent protests, altercations in the
various parts of the house and cries
of "What about Sedan?" followed.
M. de Cassagnae retorted: "There
are not only military Sedans. When
one retires from Fashoda one cannot
say much." (Terrible uproar.)
M. Cassagnae, despite the deafen
ing tumult, continued, saying that the
judiciary was being dragged to the
Gemonise (the steps in ancient Rome
1 down which dead malefactors were
j thrown), and that the republic would
j end wallowing in the mud.
M. Dupuy next said: "The govern
j ment has done nothing with which to
I reproach itself. The country knows
I that we are giving all our care
Ito the army. Respect for law and
j love of liberty unite all Republicans,
I and all persons affected will have an
j opportunity of explaining at the in
! quiry about to commence with regard
! to the Dreyfus case. Let us have done
I with it as speedily as possible. Let us
! restore quiet to the country." (Loud
I cheers.)
M. Godefroy Cavagnac, former minis
-1 ter of war. followed the premier, caus
: ing another hubbub by reiterating that
i the judiciary had undertaken the de
; fense of Picquart. He censured their
I partiality, and asked what measures
' should be adopted to restore their
! reputation for integrity and upright
: ness.
GAVE PICQUART GROG.
Several deputies having cailed for
j the production of the report of Capt.
j Erique, Col. Picquarts jailer, M. Le
! Bret attempted to read the document,
j but his voice was drowned in cries and
I the report had to be reread. It testi
j fi<jd to the profound deference that had
I been shown Col. Picquart, and dwelt
I especially upon the fact that he had
I "been kept well supplied with grog, a
j statement that was received with great
! laughter.
M. Leon de Baudrey d'Asson, Conser
j vative deputy fcr Sables d'Oiinde, mov-
I ed that the whole court of cassation
! should be court-martialed.
The closure was then declared, and
I various orders of the day were -propos
ed, the premier accepting the proposal
of the Leftists advocating the order of
the day pure and simple.
After some remarks of astonishment
that apparently greater faith was plac
ed in the report of a caotain of gen
darmerie than in the honor of the su-
I preme court, and after several futile
attempts of M. Cavagnac to speak
again, the order of the day, pure and
simple, was adopted, 423 to 124, and the
chamber adjourned.
After the chamber rose M. Dupuy in
formed a deputy that the government
had ordered an inquiry as to how M.
Cavagnac secured Capt. Erique's report
regarding Col. Picquart to the military
governor of Paris.
SERIOUS FOR FRANCE.
Parisians Place Credcnop In M. de
Beaurepaire's Declaration*.
PARIS, Jan. 12.— The evi^^t ten
dency abroad to minimize and even
ridicule the declarations of M. Quesnay
de Beaurepaire, the former president
of the civil branch of the court of
cassation, ls regarded here as a fur
ther example of the disposition outside
of France to belittle every incident
and all evidence unfavorable to the
Dreyfus cause, ft is impossible to con
verse with representative men in Paris
without seeing that the action -.>f M.
de Beaurepaire haß created a deep im
pression. The fact, he alleges are not
considered trivial. ■ Some of them are
held to be of real importance, and all
of them taken together are thought to !
make out a good case against the crim
inal branch of the' court of cassation.
j Moreover, it is noteworthy that M. de
Beaurepaire's declarations have made a
deeper impression in the legal circles
than anywhere else. Dreyfusist views
had been making great headway at the
palais de justice during the last four
months, but now they have few defend
ers in the criminal branch.
UNITED MINE WORKERS.
Sennit lon ('au»ed hy Mutilation of
the KeeordN.
PITTSBURG, p a ., Jan. 12.— When the
fourth day's session of the United
Mine Workers' convention was called
to order the chairman of the investi
gation committee reported that the
committee had worked on the books all
night and would not be ready to report
to the convention for several hours. A
recess was then taken until 1 o'clock.
Prior to the resumption of the session
a sensation was sprung by the discov
ery that during the absence of the in
vestigating committee at breakfast,
unknown persons had entered the com
mittee room in the St. Charles hotel,
and mutilated the records. Eighteen
pages were torn from the ledger and
carried away, while many other pages
were blotted and blurred. The an
nouncement caused intense indignation.
The miner's officials believe that the
object was to destroy the records from
Illinois. This state had been gone over
by the investigating committee and no
objections were found to seating any of
the delegates represented by the com
mittee on credenitals.
At the afternoon session Secretary
John Fahey read the ieport of the
investigating committee, which was
adopted. He said he believed the cre
dentials committee made a fair report
according to the entries of the ledger.
The lists of locals of the thirteen states
represented, together with the number
of members and the votes to which
they are entitled., were read, requiring
nearly one hour s time. The creden
tials of the delegates from a number
of local unions' were referred back to
the convention for a further considera
tion.
Patrick Dolan and L. L. Lewis have
formally withdrawn from the contest

No trouble Is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they

real seat of the mischief is lost sight

Nervous dyspeptics often do not have

What PlUwbary Has Been Doinv
the Past Ten Days.
When Harry N. Pillsbury, the chess
champion, arrived from Northfield yes
terday afternoon, he felt too tired to
attempt any exhibition play at the
chess and whist rooms. In the evening
play did not get started until 8 o'clock,
at which hour there was a large gath
ering, not only of chess players, but of
whist players, to see the man who was
I an expert at the three great scientific
games, chess, whist and checkers. The
players against Pillsbury were:
Dr. A. T. Bigelow, A. L. Alness,
G. B. Spencer, Dr. 11. L. Taylor.
F - A. Hill. Gen. William Smith,
W. E. Hill, J. i. Jellett,
H. A. Hageman, W. C. Sargeant,
Dr. D. W. Rhodes, E. P. Elliott,
T. J. Buford. W. J. Tlerney.
W. L. Chapin,
The first pause was made at Mr. Sar
geant's table on the fifth move, and in
the same round very briefly at Spen
cer's table, and on the sixth round he
honored Dr. Rhodes and Tierney with
a little "extra consideration. All his
openings were gambits of the open
order. The games were noteworthy
for their infinite variety, no two being
alike after the opening moves. In
some he castled early, in others he
postponed castling, leaving himself
the option of going to cover on either
side, in others he exchanged queens
early and played his king for a fight
ing piece. Gen. Smith, who, for want
of practice of late years, has lost much
of his old-time skill, was the first to
get into serious trouble by the loss of
his queen for a bishop. Elliott and
Chapin were the next to lose pieces
and get into chancery. About the fif
teenth move Dr. Bigelow's position be
came dangerous through one of Pllls
bury's peculiar threatened combina
tions. Spencer had to give up the
exchange to avoid a threatened mate
from an assault by the queen and two
knights on the castled king, which,
with loss of two pawns previously, put
him out of court, practically.
Buford played one of his very best
games, such as he can play at a pinch,
and the game at the seventeenth move
was without the loss of even a pawn
on either side, the game being an ir
regular defense to pawn to queen's
fourth. On the eighteenth move Bu
ford won a pawn, and on the nine
teenth, after quite lengthy delibera
tion, Pillsbury offered the exchange,
but Buford preferred taking his piece
back and holding the pawn advantage.
Tierney, supposedly one of the weak
er vessels, held his gambit pawn and
had gained a very strong defensive
and a somewhat threatening offensive
position by the twentieth move. At
the twentieth move Hageman was a
pawn behind, but with a very fair
position. Elliott at this stage was
playing very steadily and had held
his own, though Pillsbury had a strong
mass on the center. F. A. and W. E.
Hill both held good and even posi
tions, W. B. having quite an attack
tnreatening. On the twenty-third move
Buford gained another pawn and was
ln a good position to force exchanges.
Alness lost a knight for a pawn in this
round, and his stubborn defense was
materially weakened. On this round
Jellett's game showed a knight and
bishop gained for a rook and two
pawns lost, but Pillsbury's center and
strong queen's wing seemed to be
worth it. Sergeant had lost a piece,
but had two ugly pawns ahead, one
of them past and well backed. Bige
low had been steadily improving his
position, and on the twenty-seventh
move Pillsbury abandoned it as a
draw. Dr. Rhodes fell a sudden victim
to a neat coup on the twenty-eighth
move. On the thirtieth move Tierney
was two pawns ahead with another
in sight, and looked like a sure winner,
his game being even better than Bu
ford's, surprising every one by the
skill and patience with which it had
been handled.
A BRILLIANT FINISH.
On the thirtieth move W. E. Hill
announced mate in three from the fol
lowing position:
White— X X Xt, Q X 83, R Q gq, B K2, Xt
Q 84, Ps at X Xt 2, Q 83, Q Xt 3, Q R4.
Black— X Q Xt, Q Q 82, RK R sq, B Xl,
Xt; K5, P3 at X 82, Q 83, Q Xt 2, Q R3.
On the thirty-fifth move Pillsbury
resigned to Tierney, who was three
clear passed pawns ahead.
The Buford game, notwithstanding
the two pawns, should have been a
draw but for an oversight, for with
rooks exchanged and bishops of op
posite colors nothing could have been
done but a dance back and forward. .
This evening Pillsbury is to play
twenty simultaneous games after giv
ing the Minneapolis players a shake
up In the afternoon. If there are any
ohecker players who desire to try their
strength they will be accommodated
In addition to the chess games and" at
the same time.

IN THE AFTERNOON.
From Dec. 31 Pillsbury was In Chicago
playing exhibitions daily both blind
fold and simultaneously. Thursday,
Jan. 5, he played blindfold at the Chi
cago university against eight strong
players, giving the move, a most un
usual thing ln this style of exhibition,
as it gave his opponents the openings.
Friday afternoon he played a series of
hard games against Mr. Lee, one of
Chicago's strongest. Saturday evening
he played twenty-seven chess and ten
checker games simultaneously. Sun
day afternoon he played twenty-five
simultaneous games at the Deutscher
club, at Milwaukee, and in the evening
four blindfold simultaneous games
against the strongest players. Monday
he spent on the cars, getting little
rest. Tuesday at Albert Lea he played
eight chess and two checker games
blindfold and simultaneously ln the
afternoon and "n the evening ten chess
games. Wednesday, at Northfield, four
blindfold games in the afternoon and
in the evening seventeen simultaneous
chess games.
After such a series of labors, and
be lt known that all the blindfold and
simultaneous experts confine them
selves to two days only of such hard
work per week, he felt mentally and
physically fagged so that he spent the
afternoon in getting acquainted v with
the St. Paul and Minneapolis players
and chatting over chess and chess
masters and their methods. The even
ing play begfi.n at 7:30, when a large
number of chess, checker and whist
players were present to watch the
quiet dark-eyed little man handling
so many intricate problems at once,
one of which has been enough, often,
to give them a headache.
The representative of The Glob c
questioned Mr. Pillsbury regarding the
force of players of today compared
with Morphy and his contemporaries.
In substance his answer was:
"All masters of today are student.
as well as players. In Morphy's day
there were few, if any, students, as
the word is considered today. Since
Morphy's day the openings of games
have -been carried quite a number of
moves onward by careful analysis, and
the masters have made themselves ac
quainted with their force. They now
Htudy positions thus: 'If I can get
such and such a position is my game
the best? Having satisfied themselves
by careful analysis that such is, the
case, they proceed to shape that po
sition, and so on steadily from posi
tion to position.' "
"Do you look far ahead in your com
binations?" queried The Globe's rep
resentative.
"No; five, six or seven moves, being
satined if it looks a winner that far to
await developments. You see the Mor
phy style of play looks altogether to
one- side of the game, whereas now
there is no chess player of note but
plays both sides. Nearly all brilliant
cobinations nowadays are undevel
oped because the opponent discovers
them, too late, perhaps, to save the
game, but in time to block the sky
rockets."
"How about that Nuremberg game?"
"I got the brilliancy prize not because
the end was startling, but because of
the continued brilliant possibilities and
threats which I.asker foresaw and de
feated, but with the loss of material
and position, till my position won by
fcrce."
"Why are so few of the great play
ers noted for brilliancy?"
"Because in playing in tournaments
they play for rank— for score— and
cannot risk the loss of a game for
meteoric coup. But the men who have
little or no chance of a prize can af
ford to take the chance of an unsound
piece of fireworks coming to a success
ful conclusion."
And to illustrate these points he
played over for the benefit of a large
and Interested audience the Nuremberg
game, and also his latest brilliancy
prize game, won against Haiprin, of
Vienna, explaining the developments
and possibilities, and showing where
the fireworks were continually immi
nent, but continually blocked, though
with vital loss.

HUMANE ACTION?
"Here is another exarnpie of the
great broad-mindedness of Admiral
Dewey. When the consuls of various
neutral countries became frightened for
fear Manila would be bombarded, the
German consul went to Admiral Dewey
at Cavße, and asked if he had any ob
jections to this proceeding: To charter
ing Spanish steamers, then lying ,n the
river Pasig. placing en board the neu

Admiral Dewey answered: 'Well why
not? I do not make war against'wom

ncn -combatants were granted this

was that those steamcis, which being
in a blockaded port, belonged by right
to the government of the United "states
should return to Admiral Dewey a
hands after the surrender of Manila.
Furthermore he granted that in case
of typhoons all of these steamers cf
leluge might come over and anchor
with the American fleet at Cavite"
Asked if German military men gen
erally, who had seen the run of events
at Manila, held the same opinion of Ad
miral Dewey, the major replied t]
they did. The question was asked
"What are going to be the future- re
lations of Germany and the T _ ited
States ln regard to possessions in the
Eastern archipelago?"
Maj. yon Sonnenberg replied:
"German and American interests
throughout the whole world run aiong
parallel Unes, and parallel lines you
know never meet. I do not see how' an
ill feeling can result between the two
great peoples."
Questioned about the attitude of the
native Filipinos towards the United
States, Maj. yon Sonn-.nbers was em
phatic:
"The Filipinos will fight,' he said,
"unless you give them what they want'
I believe they will not lay down their
