Resume of the Week's
Proceedings.

•x*
Washington. Jan. K!. A spirited
speech by Senator Foraker of Ohio on
the use of private detectives in inves
tigating the Brownsville affair was the
feature of interest in the senate yes
terday. Mr. Foraker laid aside his
manuscript, several times during his
address to inject remarks that wen'
pointedly aimed at the president, al
though he refrained from the mention
of Mr. Roosevelt's name. Evidently
referring to the president he declared
that men who make charges and insin
uations will some time "be where they
can be called to account."
Mr. Lodge replied to Mr. Foraker's
remarks, declaring that the use of the
$3,000,000
fund
appropriate in 1899 as
an emergency war fund for the presi
dent
during the Spanish war, in the
employment of detectives on the
Brownsville case, was not in violation
of law.
Mr. Foraker vainly endeavored to
have a day fixed for voting on his hill
for the re-enlistment of the discharged
soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment.
Working with only a small quota,of
members, the house of representative
yesterday devoted its entire time to
consideration of the District of Colum
bia appropriation bill.
Washington. Jan. 14.—The authori
ty of congress to direct heads of ex
ecutive departments to send to the
senate or house information in their
possession was the subject of an ex
tended speech in the senate yesterday
by Senator Bacon of Georgia. Mr.
Bacon took the broad view that con
gress has absolute power to demand
from heads of departments any infor
mation within their possession and
even to require them to give reasons
for their action or non-action on any
matter coming before them.
Senator Lodge questioned the pow
er of congress to demand papers on
file in diplomatic matters and insisted
upon the right of the president to ex
ercise discretion in such matters.
Practically the whole session of the
house of representatives yesterday
was devoted to a discussion of an
amendment to the District of Colum
bia appropriation bill appropriating
$15,000 for children's playgrounds.
Washington, Jan. 15.—The Ananias
club was discussed in the senate yes
terday by Senator Tillman, who de
clared the statements made by Attor
ney General Bonaparte and Postmas-.
ter General Meyer in reply ty
answer to the cha/ges made against
hi':' the president in relation
his onteniplated purchase of Oregon
timber lands made them eligible to
membership in that organization. He
again defended his action and said,
in fighting the "unscrupulous men"
who are determined "to destroy him"
he was "prepared for anything, even
assassination."
The bill to establish postal savings
banks and the omnibus claims bill
were under consideration during the
day.
For a time yesterday in the house
of representatives it looked as though
that body would further resent the
president's statement affecting-mem
bers of congress and the secret serv
ice by ordering the printing of 2,000,
000 copies of the proceedings of last
Friday, tabling his remarks. A reso
lution to that end was presented by
Mr. I.andis of Indiana, but so strong
was the sentiment against it that it
was tabled.
Washington, Jan. 16.—An amend
ment in the legislative and executive
and judicial appropriation bill, in
creasing the salary of the president
to $100,000, of the vice president and
speaker of the house of representa
tives to $20,000, with $5,000 additional
allowance for carriages and coachmen
for the vice president and speaker,
and increases for the judiciary aggre
gating $328,500, precipitated a lively
discussion in the senate yesterday.
Without concluding the debate, fur
ther consideration of the amendment
was postponed until next Monday.
Private bills had their innings in
the house of representatives yester
day, almost the whole session being
given up to their consideration. Many
were passed.
Washington, Jan. 19.—A sensational
and bitter attack on President Roose
velt was made in the house yesterday
by Mr. Willett of New York. His re
marks, which, were delivered under
the license of a geueial debate on the
pension appropriation bill, were cut
short by a vote of the house that it
would hear no more of them. So ve
hement was the denunciation of the
chief executive that it seemed as if
the New York member raked the dic
tionary for words which would prop
erly express his feelings. The presi
dent was characterized as a "gar
goyle, tyrant, pigmy descendant of
LID GOES ON AT DEADWOOD.
Eleven O'clock and Sunday Laws to
Be Enforced Hereafter.
Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 20.—Farewell
to the green cloth and to the all-night
and Sunday saloons In historic Dead
wood. Last night at 11 sharp the lid
was clamped down, and hereafter at
that hour all saloons must close and
horde of "sleepers" must find some
other resting place. Such Is the or
der of the state attorney general that
will be carried out.
Dutch tradespeople, hay tedder, foun
tain of billingsgate, a jocularity.imi
tation of a King and bogus hero.'
As it was Mr. Willett bad complet
ed 'lie reading of about three-lourth?
of his speech when, after repeated
appeals to the chair by numerous Re
publicans that he lie called order, he
was compelled to take bis seal. It
was en a motion hv Mr. Candler ot
Mississippi that the New Yorker be
allowed to proceed "in order" that the
house voted him off the floor, 7S tc
120. Mr. Willett freely remarked on
the floor tli.it the action of the body
"put. an end to free speech."
After the furore which the speech
created had subsided a number of
]r ni'iers spoke on various sub
jects
In the Senate.
By a vote of "7 to 27 the seivtt"
yesterday fixed the salary of the
speaker of the house of representa
tives at $15,000, instead of $1.2,000 as
at present., and instead of $20,000 as
proposed by the committee on appro
priations.
Sc-r.ator Ruyner endeavored to
have the senate adopt a resolution
ailing on the attorney general for in
formation as to whether the president
bad ordered a suit brought against
the New York World and the Indian
apolis News because of alleged libel
in publications relating to the pur
chase of the Panama canal property,
and under what statute this acliun
hrd been taken.
I'nder objection the further consid
eration was postponed until today.
MAY ABANDON HIS TRIP.
President May Stay at Home to Push
Prosecution of Pulitzer and Others.
Washington. Jan. 20. A story is
afloat in the capital that President
Roosevelt is on the eve of abandon
ing, or at least postponing indefinite
ly his African hunting trip. This re
port is apparently well founded.
At different times during the week
the president remarked to two New
York politicians, one of them a mem
ber of congress, that he feared he
would not be able to carry out bis
plans to go to Africa.
The chief reason is the proceeding
which has been started to punish Jo
seph Pulitzer of the New York World
for alleged criminal libel in connec
tion with the Panama canal "scan
dal."
Sensations of the Day.
Sensational developments in this
case yesterday—the arrival in Wash
ington of Charles P. Taft and Doug
las Robinson to appear before the
grand jury today, a challenge of the
president's right to proceed in the
proposed suit by Senator Rayner of
Maryland, use of the name of Vice
President Fairbanks as one of the in
Kpirers of the original publication of
tl'e scandal all these served to
t'-n-.v doubt upon the possibility of
president going to Africa and
s! eing the action through.
During the time the grand jury was
in session yesterday only one witness
was seen to enter the room, and he
remained only a few minutes. This
was J. A. Matthews, formerly private
secretary to Vice President Fair
banks, later Washington correspond
ent for the Indianapolis News? and
now a member of the New York Sun
staff in this city.
Delavan Smith of the Indianapolis
News, a cousin of Vice President
Fairbanks, is to appear on Wednes
day.
Is Highly Wrought Up.
Mr. Roosevelt has determined to
have punishment meted out to those
who started the scandal. He is more
highly wrought up over the Panama
affair and Mr. Pulitzer's connection
with it than over any other untoward
incident of his administration.
He has given his personal atten
tion to every detail of the case since
the stories were first printed. He has
practically assumed charge of the pre
liminary proceedings.
In the meanwhile activity on the
part of the administration officials
continues. The same strict secrecy
is also maintained as to what is going
on and under what law the action is
to be prosecuted.
ROOT IS NAMED.
Unanimous Choice of New York Re
publican Caucus for Senator.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 20.—Elihu Root.,
secretary of state in President Roose
velt's cabinet, was the unanimous
choice of the Republican legislative
caucus which met last night to name
a candidate to succeeed United States

of office will expire on March 4.
The Democratic caucus nominated
Former Lieutenant Governor Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, who was Ihe
Democratic candidate for 'governor at
the November election.
Storm's Heavy Toll.
Leith, Scotland, Jan. 20.—Including
the wreck of the British steamer Fi
dra off Amrum, with the loss of six
teen sailors, it is believed that the
drownings in the North sea in the last
two days will total between forty and
fifty. The storm was the most severe
in several months.
MOYER LOSES HIS SUIT.
Supreme Court Refuses to Grani Him
Damages.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
decided against Former President
Moyer of the Western Federation of
Miners the damage suit brought by

order because of his alleged connec
tion with riots at Telluride, Colo., in
THORNTON HAINS
IS NOT GUILTY
Acquitted by Jury of Being
Principal With Brother in
Killing of Annis.
VERDICT IS WILDLY CHEERED
Capt. Hains May Never Be Brought to
Trial—Jury Was Out Twenty-
two Hours.
Flushing. N. Y.. Jan. 17.—After re
viewing the evidence for twenty-two
hours and taking fifteen ballots be
fore all were agreed, the jury in the
trial of Thornton Jenkins Hains yes
terday afternoon found the prisoner
not guilty as a principal with his
brother. Capt. Peler C. Hains, Jr., in
the killing of William E. Annis. For
the second time in his life Thornton
Hains has been found not guilty of
the charge of murder, iie having been
acquitted of murder in shooting a
companion named Edward W. Hanni
gan in an open boat in Hampton
Roads seventeen years ago.
Affecting Greeting of Brothers.
Thornton Hains had an affecting
greeting with Capt. Hains in the
Long Island jail, where he hurried in
a motor car after the verdict to bring
his brother the news. Old Gen.
Hains and wife, who had been anx
iously waiting to learn the verdict in
the Hotel Astor, heard the news from
their son Thornton, who telephoned
his part-nts as soon as he left the
court loom. .Mrs. Hains nearly faint
ed from joy at the news.
Thornton Mains was overjoyed at
the verdict, which came unexpectedly
and at a time when Justice Crane, be
lieving that a disagreement was like
ly, had sent for the jurors to learn
what progress had been made toward
a finding. The former defendant
smiled and tears filled his eyes, and
hurrying to the jury box after Jus
tice Crane had discharged the jurors,
he seized their hands and thanked
them for their verdict.
Demonstration in Court Room.
Rarely in any court of law has such
a demonstration been witnessed as
that which occurred yesterday after
noon when the jury made known its
verdict, which came like a thunder
bolt. The packed court, room of spec
tators rose as one man and cheered
and applauded with such mighty vig
or that tht gavel falls of Justice
Crane on his desk could not he heard.
Before proceeding farther, Justice
Crane ordered the trial chamber
cleared and the spectators put out
in the street. After telephoning his
mother and father, Thornton was es
corted to a local hotel, while a throng
of townspeople gave him a continu
ous greeting en route.
Officials of the district attorney's
office in Queens county are quoted
as saying that the verdict in their
case probably means that Capt. Hains
will never be brought to trial and
that he will be surrendered into the
care of his family or the federal gov
ernment.
END OF VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.
Commissioner Buchanan Reaches Ba
sis of Agreement With Venezuela.
Washington, Jan. 17. After years
of patient waiting on the part of the
United States there is a prospect for
the settlement by a method satisfac
tory to this country of the disputed
claims with Venezuela, the refusal of
which government to arbitrate them
resulting last spring in the breaking
of friendly relations between the two
countries.
Yesterday the state department an
nounced that W. I. Buchanan, the
special commissioner who has been
in Venezuela for several weeks nego
tiating regarding these cases, had re
ported that he had reached the basis
of an agreement for their settlement
and that a protocol to that effect was
now being drawn up for signature.
Presumptively the case will go to the
international court of arbitration at
The Hague, but a positive statement
to this effect, was not made by the
state department.
It is probable that Mr. Buchanan's
negotiations will result also in reach
ing an understanding with Venezuela
for a general arbitration treaty be
tween the two countries for the set
tlement of disputes arising in the fu
ture.

"Mr. MacReynolds has been in the
state almost constantly for nearly
three months, at times assisted by
one or two other men from the East,
and by a certain person from Ohio
and three or four people of our own
state.
After Others as Well.
"I paid no attention to them until
recently, when I learned that they
,were disappointed at not finding any
thing truthful to use against me,
whereupon they became apparently
desperate and began offering large
sums of money to persons to aid in
manufacturing false statements.
"It is not Hearst alone, but there
arc other interested parties in the
conspiracy, and with the main pur
pose of injuring me they combined
their efforts.
"I have nothing further to add ex
cept that the arrest of Mr. MacReyn
alds is only the beginning, and other
conspirators will have the saw op
portunity to square themselves with' a
jury of honest people."
