A WARM DEBATE IN JHE
HOUSE YESTERDAY
FLTNIN OF OKIJA1HOMA MAKES AN
AlGCUSmON 'AGAUNIST STEPH
ENS OF TEXAS 'SPEAKER HEN
DERSON'S TIMELT GOOD HU
MOR. Washington, Jan. 29. When tine
bouse met Itoday, iMr. Stephens, of
Texas, arose to a question of 5 iriivl
lege in eonnection -with tbe exdhiange
whieb took (pTace (beftweeni btmiself and
Mr. Fl7rL, the delegate from Oklaho
ma, just (prior to adjranaroimienit yester
day .iwheu the direct lie iwas almost
passed.
Mr .Stephens read ithe language used
toy Mr. Flynn, in. which) the latter
charged that Mr. Stephens had sur
reptitiously inserted dn the bill to ratify
the agreement wiith the Kiowa and
ODimaniche Indians, whichl ibecame; &
law June 6, 1900, a clause giving white
settles .tLe right to tct su'ch of
these IndianB' Hands as contained aniin-
erals.
Mr. Stephenis isaid diti was unfortunate
6ar Mr. Flymi that he himself had In-
itrodiiced a bill to Januiarr. 1900. Which
contained the identical language 'which
he now charges wa surrelptltiously. tn-
esrte4 dn (the bill.i He indignantly re
pelled the InsinuaJtioni to which. Mr.
Flynn fliad glVen; utterance.
Would we harve a-llowed. a section
to go Ini," (he asked, "which permitted
whites to taike without compensation
lands we ' were allotting to the In
dians?" .
"Didn't ytou dntroduce a bill contain
ing similar language?" asked Mr.
Stephens, who now confronted the irate
Oklahoma) delegate across the aisle.
I had1 sufficdent confidence in the
gentleman (at that time," retorted Mr.
Flynn. "What lead to the investiga
tion, which unearthed the facts," he
continued, "wis that the moment the
! bill passed tre gentleman from; Texas
telegraphed, his mends to go anito tne
lands and locate claims.
"Did you mot telegraph your
friends?" interposed Mr. Stephens'.
"Yes, thiat the bill had .passed, hut I
Insist that the investigation develop
ed the fact that the gentleman from
Texas was the only member of either
house who knew the mining clause was
in the bill."
'"That statement," cried Mr. Steph
ens, raising -his arm threateningly, "is
utterly unfounded, and T beileve it is
knowingly, and maliciously made."
"That Is strong language," retorted
Mr. Flynn, who preserved his equanimity-
"I received my information
upon a visit to the reservation.'
The members of -the house at this
i point expected a sensational explosion,.
but the incident flattened wit..
Mr. Hull of Iowa called up the con
ference report upon the army roTgani
zation bill and moved that the bill' be
sent back to conferenlce. After a brief
wrangle the (motion was agreed to.
The house then went into cornimiitee
of-the whole and took up the agricul
tural appropriation bald. Mr. Wads
worth, chairman; of the agricultural
Cominnittee, explained .the salient fea
tures of the measure, which carries
$1,377,220, being an Increase of 1353,750

Jectsi of discus'sion in today's session of
the senate.
The . former passed, and then Mr.
Turner took the floor im cppositioni to
the ship subsidy bill. He denounced
the measure as VMous ,in .ptrinciple
and extravagant in operation. He de
clared It was exactioni of anoney from

waa spoliation pure and simple. At
the close of his speech amendments to
the; bill were reported' by the commerce
committee and agreed to and without
completing the bill the senate adjourn
ed, t
In the , early part of the session four l
messages from the president were submitted.-
Among them, was one rec
ommending an appropriation for the

OUR FOREIGN MARKETS
fTihe imlost important and interesting
summary of what has been, achieved by
the United. States in the direction of
opening up and extending our markets
abroad is presented in a letter from Sec
retary Hay which, was laid before con
gress today accomspaning . the annual
publication known (as ' Commercial Re
lations of the United States and iForeign
Countries." Secretary Hay says: "The
general conclusion to be drawn from a
survey of the conditions im foreign
countries as described dn our consular
reports herewitb presented', is t'hafft the
United! State is approaching even amore
swiftly than was expected a positioni of
eimtoenice im the world's markets due
to the superior quality and the greater
cheapness of mlany lines of its mJanu
factuires, wihach must work great eco
nomical changes and may, result in a
sMfttog of the center, mot only of the
industrial, but the commercial activity
and the money power of the world to
our marts.
"Trade indications of American su
premacy during the past year have been
so marfced that mlany foreign industries
accordimig to the reports of our consuls
in Europe have introduced American
machinery and labor saving appliances
and are remodeling their factory meth
ods, and we may expect in the (near fu
ture more strenuous competition, for
which it is important we should pre
pare ourselves.
"Asan aid to such' an equipment the
study of the great mass of Information as
to foreign, industries end .trade condL
tkms whteh is to he found in the two
volumes of commercial relations will
obviously prove most useful to our
manufacturers Mid exDorters. and! I
therefore recommend that congress be
requested to authorze. as was done last
year, tha printing-f a special edition
of" 10,000 copies of the 'Review of the
world's commence,' and 0,000 copies of
vxmimer-ial Relations. "

FOUR YEAR'S TERM
LONG ENOUGH
Bryan's ifaew on Proposition
to
Lengthen President's Term.
IN THE HOUSE,
Lincoln, Jan. 29. -Bryan's Common
er,"-which !has now obtained a Circula.
tion of 55,000, appeared rtMs evening,
Its leading editorial was devoted to
the queen; It saysthe "world has cause
to mourn her demise." The most inter
esting editorial is upon the Oevteiand
proposition to increase the pr-ssden-t's
term to" six years and limit ihim to
one term.
Upon this he says: "To lengthen the
presidiejDt's term is simply to enlarge the
stake for which great interests play.
Trusts could increase - their c&mwaijm
fundi fifty "per cent if they could secure
control of 'administration for six years
instead' of four. A four years' term h
long enough! for a good1 president and
too long for a bad one."

at Balmoral that appealed: to the queen
and led her to ask not only of the men
of her family but tbfe daughters to
walk behind ber funeral car.

RUSSIANS SCENT AN

St. Petersburg, Jan. 29. Several
newspapers declare the appointemnt of
th'e kaiser as1 field marshal in the Brit

the queen's funeral distinctly indicates
an Anglo-German alliance of defensive
character. The !Svet says it has be
come clear that Kruger was not re
ceived at Berlin because the country
needed an alliance with England for
the purpose of her assuming the. dom
inating position in the Balkans that
she is assuming in the far east. The
paper admits that such an aliance is
calculated to injure Russia.

PRESENT TO HEAR THE JUDGE
MENT OF THE COURT.
Patterson, N. J., Jan. 29. Walter C.
'MoAlister, Wm. A. Death and Alexan
der Campbell, who were found guilty of
murder in the second degree for killing
Jennie Koosohleter, October 18 last, by
the administrationi of chloral and sub
sequent rape, together with George J.
Kerr, who plead non vult con tend re
to the charge of rape were brought
into court today for sentence by Judge
Dixon1.
MoAlister, Camibell and Death were
each sentenced to 30 years dmpr&son
imient at hart labor, Kerr was sentenc
ed. to 15 years at hard labor. The sen
teiees of the rneu are fuii terms which
the law provides. 1
Campbeir sister hag been circulating
a petition to Judge (Dixon asking for
clemency for her brother.
The court room was crouded to its
utmost capacity when Judge Dixon
took has seat on the bench. In the
court room were the father, stepmother
anoi sister of Jennie (Bosschleter, who
had been given seats where they could
have a good view of all that transpired.
A few minutes after court had heen de
clared1 open, MdAlister, Campbell and
Death were brought in by deputy sher
iffs and seated!.
The proceeding began with a plea
by Michael Dunne, one of the attorneys
for the convicted men, for clemency
for (Mis clients. He urged that in the
cases nyf. Death and Campbell the ques
tion of 'their reformation was worthy
o." consideration by the court. Counsel
submitted a petition sigr xl by
citizens asking for nwrcy fbr Cerrjpbell,
who had beeni known for many years
to the petitioners as industrious, tem
perate and of good character.
Former Judge Scott addressed the
court in McAllister's, behalf, urging pre
vious good character and high family
connections.
MCAlister, Campbell and Death were
then told to stand up. McAllister and
Campbell looked extremely pale and
Death had the appearance of suffering
greatly under the strain.
Judge Dixon; addressing the three
prisoners, said:
"You stand' convicted of murder in
the second degree. Had you been found
guilty of murder in the first degree the
punishment would have been death but
the leniency of the jury in the exercise
of their lawful authority saved you
from the gallows. We must adminis
ter laws as they are. It is true these
sentences will destroy lives, obliterat
ing every prospect of an honorable ex
istence among the people. The court
cannot maike any distinction but must
sentence yon for thlis crikne.''
