Senator Hoar Asks Number of Colored Men in Soldiers7 Home, To Ascertain Advisability of Estab- lishirg Separate Institutions. DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION IN THE HOUSE TO SECTION OF NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL PLACING $500,000 IN PRESIDENT'S HANDS AS EMERGENCY FUND. Washington, pril 18. In the senate Mr. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, of- J fered a resolution calling on the sec retary of the treasury for the aggre gate amount of revenue derived from the tax on notes, bank checks, insur ance policies, leases, mortgages, tele grams, express shipments and medical prescriptions. The resolution went over. Hale reported from the committee on naval affairs the joint resolution authorizing the secretary of the navy to have struck off bronze niedals for distribution among certain officers and men of the North Atlantic squad ron, commemorating the naval en gagements between the forces of Spain and the United States. The measure. which appropriates $25,000, was adopt ed. A resolution was introduced by Mr. Hoar directing the secretary of -war-to inform the senate how many in mates of the national soldiers' home are colored men or Indians. In- ex planation Mr. Hoar said he desires simply to ascertain whether there is a sufficient number of colored inmates in the homes to warrant separate in stitutions. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, asked that similar data. concerning the national insane asylums be asked for by the resolution. It was agreed to and the resolution passed. An effort was made toy Money, of Mississippi, and several of his dem ocratic colleagues to obtain considera tion for a bill to revive and amend the act to provide for the collection of ahandoned property and the prevention of frauds in insurrectionary districts within the United States and acts amendatory thereof. It developed that strong opposition to the bill ex isted in the senate. Hale declared that the bill, if passed, would subject the United States treasury to a drain of probably $150,000,000. He would, there fore, strenuously oppose its passage. Money challenged Hale's statement, saying it would take no such amount from the treasury. Teller, of Colorado, urged that Money should not at this time press, the measure, as further information was needed by the senate before it acted. Money then gave notice that he would call up the bill next Wednesday. The senate resumed consideration of the Alaskan civil code hill, Stewart ad dressing the senate on "the pending Hanbrough amendment. Washington, April 18. Congressman Kitchln, of North Carolina, was the central figure of the democratic side today in the house, and' led the mi nority in endeavoring to strike from the naval hill the appropriation of $500,000 for. emergency expenses, which the toill placed in the lhands of4 the president for use at his discretion. He made, a point of order against tne ap propriation and was supported by DeArmond,' of Missouri. This was overruled by the chair, and upon Kitlohln's appeal the chair was sus tained by a vote of 94 to 92. Thereup on Kitchln moved to strike out the emergency fund 'from the (bill. He made a warn speech, scoring the chahgeable policy, saying It would 'be a bad precedent to appropriate such an amount to toe expended at the presi dent's discretion. The speech made a 4.

Grosvenor and Williams engaged in a sharp con troversy oh the administration's pol icy. There is to toe no further delay about taking up the subject of -ami-trust legislation. The plan of the republi cans is to meet the democratic anti trust declarations by pointing to the record of what the republican party has done. It is their purpose to go Just as far in the direction of regulat ing legislation as it is possible un der the present restrictions of the con stitution, and at the same time adopt a joint resolution proposing to the. state legislatures an amendment to the constitution that will remove aH restrictions upon the power of con gress. The measures which the repub lican leaders will endeavor to put through congress have taken shape in the house judiciary committee in the bill and resolution that will be report ed to the house soon for an amendment to the constitution" providing that con gress shall have power to define, reg ulate, control, prohibit, repress and dissolve all trusts and monopolies and combinations or conspiracies to monop olize any part of 'trade or commerce, and contracts or combinations in the form of trusts or otherwise or conspir acies in restraint of trade or com merce. In the absence of legislation toy congress these powers may be exer cised by the states. Although many constitutional lawyers contend that congress has no power at presentto go further in tne way ot restraining trusts and combinations than was gonje,ran the Sherman anti-trust law, the members of the sub-committee of the house judiciary committee, ap pointed to consider this subject, be lieved something more could be done, particularly in the way of requiring greater publicity froml corporations doing an interstate business. The director of the census will make an effort to obtain exact Teturns xm every gin and press in the south of the number of bales of cotton they han dle during the present season. No gin is too small or insignificant to be over looked, and the information sought is so important to the southern! people that the enumerators and special agents anticipate their hopeful co-op eration. The work will begin on the first of June, and if successful it is ex pected that a similar ' cotton censu? may be taken, every year. There is only one means by which the exact amount of the crop can toe obtained and that is from the ginning establish ments. Every bale has to be ginned, whether it is consumed on the plan tation or sent to Europe, and the di rector of the census proposes this year to count every bale that goes through the ginneries of the country. The chief ground of opposition to the Nicaragua canal bill is that we would better obtain the territory and per mission for the construction of a canal before the orders are issued to begin work and the money is appropriated to pay the expense. The department of state has assurances from both Costa Ric and Nicaragua thit are entlre'y satisfactory, but they have not been formulated or signed. FINLAY WILL RETURN HOME Indianapolis, April 18. Finlay, ex secretary of stato of Kentucky, who has been in this city for several weeks, and who was recently indicted for al leged complicity in the Goebel shoot ing, said today: "I intend to return to Kentucky and face the indictment against me. I am not w-illing to go (back now and be thrown into jail, but when the time for trial comes, I shall go back and defend myself against the unjust charges brought against me."

RETURN OF WARREN. London, April 18. It is persistently stated in military circles that Lieuten ant General Warren, commander of the Fifth division of the South African field force, has been ordered to return home. It is said a peremptory order for Warren's return was cabled to South Africa this morning. " The war office declined to give any information on the subject. ROBERTS' CRmCxriM OF BULLER AND WARREN. London, April 18, 4 A. M- The gov ernment has chosen this as the mo ment to publish a despatch from Lord Roberts pronouncing censure upon Sir Redvers Buller and Sir Charles Warren, two of his most important subordinate commanders. This de spatch, written February 13, has been in the hands of the war office for five weeks. Why it is published now, in the middle of the campaign, is not understood, unless it was expected that General Buller and General Warren will ask to be relieved 'of their com mands. The revelation of their incapacity must tend to undermine the confidence of the troops in their leadership. Lord Roberts' despatch with the en closures is the great feature of the London press this morning. Whether the government has any special purpose or not m publishing the despatch, the way in which it has been received will make it more diffi cult to retain the censured commanders in active service. . V- "tSi the despatch from Lord Roberts. dated February 13, Lord Roberts com plains that the plans of operations are not clearly described in the de spatches. After sketching General Buller's intentions, as communicated to Sir Cahrles Warren, who commanded the whole force, Lord Roberts points out that General Warren seems to have concluded, after consultation with his officers, that the flanking movement ordered by General Buller was im practicable, and,;-1therefore, so changed the plan of advance as to necessitate the capture and retention of Spion Kop. Lord Roberts continues: "As Warr" considered it impossible to mane tne wide flanking movement which was re commended, if not actually prescnoea the secret, instructions, he should. forthwith, have acquainted Buller with the course he proposed to adopt. There is r.othinfe to show whether he did so or not. Bnt it is or.ly fair to Warren to point out that Buller appears tnrougn out to 1 -"e been aware of what was happening." Ree-arding: the withdrawal from bpion Kop, the retention of Which had become essential to -'the relief of Ladysmith. Lord Roberts says: I regret to be unable tc concur with cised wise discretion io oraering the Tfcorn ey cror t troops to retire. I am of the opinion that Thornycroft'si assumption of re 9ponsibility and authority was wholly inexcusable. THiTtava- t!he nieht the enemy' nre could oot have, ben fbTmidable, and it would not have taken more than two or thiree hours for jLhomeycroft to com municate by messenger with Ixajor Gem. Coke or Warren. Coke appear J to have left Spion Kop a. 9:30 p. . m., ror tne purpose or consulting wnn, vYimcu. Ud to that hour tne laea ox wiimira.wj had not been entertained . Yet almo? immediately after CokeTa departure Thoroeycroft issued the order, without reference 'ifo (superior authority wmcJ rendered unavailing eacnnces al ready, made to carry Into effect. 'On the other hand, it is only rigm no state that Thorneyertoft appears to have behaved in a very gaMant mlaoner throughout "the day.

" 3 1 1 , . . troops SEVERE CRITICISMS. London, April 18. Roberts' criticism of Generals Buller and Warren and Colonel Thorneycroft continue topics of interest. The afternoon papers com ment on the strictures- of the British commander-in-chief, taking the same lines as the morning papers, praising Roberts for his frankness and specu lating upon what the publication of the despatches at present portend. Some maintain there is nothing left for Bul ler but to resign. 1 The St. James Gazette is particular ly scathing. Referring to Buller's re port it says:' "Never in the history of armies did it happen that a general scribbled confessions of failure and feat, of useless deaths of men and of discredit to the flag." The Globe declares that "a more pitiable record of indecision in plan and confusion in execution we have seldom read," and adds that what little repu tation Buller had left has been scat tered to the winds. 1 LYDDITE THROWN INTO BOER TRENCHES.

The populist state convention was held in this city today. The convention, was a bigr demonstra tion, a large gathering of representa- ' tive men of the party and harmony prevailed throughout. Owing to sick ness, Senators Pettigrew and Allen could not get here. Representative Southland, of Nebraska, came for them. After the convention was call- d to order and the committee on plat form was making up its report, Mr. Southland was introduced by Senator Butler. He made a most excellent speech and was applauded by all in the hall for his able effort. The plat form condemns the amendment, but does not make it a party question,. It condemns the ektkm law and the ex travagance of the last legislature. Colonel Harry Skinner made a minor ity report on the platform and reso lutions, but was unanimously set down. upon by the convention. Some said he made a good democratic speech, but Dr. Mumpsairs rejoinder was wither ing and a masterly effort. Senator Butler was elected state cnairman. A straight populist ticket was nanied.
