ALASKAN BILL IN THE SENATE. Stewart of Nevada Talked for Three Hours About the Mining Laws. LIVELY TIME IN THE HOUSE. Naval Appropriation Bill Under Consider ntlon-Sensatlonal Colloquy Between Mr. Grosvenor and Mr. Wil- ' Hams ol Mississippi. sv Telegraph to the Mornlnz Btar. Washington, April 18. During al most the entire session of the Senate to day the Alaskan Civil Code bill was under consideration. In this cou unction Mr. Stewart, Nevada,, de livered an address of nearly three hours upon the mining laws of the United States. and their relation to the proposed amendment of Senator Hansbrough as to the rights of alien locators of claims Senator Nelson, Minnesota, Senator Carter, Montana, and Senator Teller, Colorado, discuss ed the pending amendment at length ; boih Senator Nelson and Senator Teller being particularly vigorous ia their denunciation of it. Senator Hale reported from thebm mittee on Naval Affairs a joint r. solu tion drawn originally by Senator Mason, Illinois, authorizing the Secre tary of the Navy to have struck bronze medals for distribution among certain officers and men of the North Atlantic squadron, commemorating naval en gagements between the forces of Spain and the United States in the waters of the West Indies and oil the Cuban coast. The measure, which appropri ates $25,000, was adopted. A resolution was passed asking the Secretary of War tq, inform the Senate bow many inmates of. the national soldier's homes and insane asylums are colored men or Indians. Senator Hoar explained that the ob ject was to ascertain whether there ws a sufficient number of colored in mates to justify, separate institutions. A resolution was offered by Senator GaUinger calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for the aggregate reve nue derived from the tax on notes, bank checks, insurance policies, leases, mortgages, telegrams, express ship ments and medicinal preparations. Senator Piatt, Connecticut, sug gested that as there was a desire to amend the war revenue act, the in formation should cover its entire ope ration. The resolution went over. An effort was made by Senator Money, Mississippi, and several of his Democratic colleagues, to obtain con sideration for the bill to revive and amend an act to provide for the col lection , of abandoned property and the prevention of frauds in insurrec tionary districts within the United States, and acts amendatory thereof. The effort led to a long discussion as to the effect the present consideration of the measure would have upon the Quay case and the unanimous consent tnat now obtains with respect to that , case. It was developed that strong op position to the bill existed in the Sen ate by Senator Hale, of Maine ; Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire; Sena . tor Warren, of Wyoming, and others, indicating that the measure must be fully discussed. Senator Hale declared that the bill, if passed, would subject the United States Treasury to a drain of probably $150,000,000. He would, therefore, strenuously oppose its passage. Senator Money challenged Senator Hale's statement, saying that the bill would take no such amount from the treasury ; that it involved only $5, 000,000, and that a trust - fund, for which the measure provided, was the means of distribution to its proper owners. - - Senator Teller, Colorado, as a friend to the bill, urged Senator Money not - at this time to press the measure, as some further information was needed by the Senate before it acted upon the bill. The bill needed amendment, he said, but he thought it would be pass ed without serious delay when under stood by the Senate. Senator . Money then gave notice that he would call up the bill next "Wednesday. 'The Senate then resumed considera tion of the Alaskan Civil Code bill. Senator Stewart addressing the Sen ate on the pending Hansbrough amend ment, in opposition to any change, in the mining laws of the United States. Senator Nelson also defended the ' rights-of the so called aliens who had . located claims in the Cape Nome dis Senator Tillman, South Carolina, agreed with Senator Nelson in what he had said of the rights of the Swedes, Norwegians, Laplanders and Finns, and speaking of the Hansbrough amendment said that "Senators ought to take it by the nape of the neck and kick it out of the Senate." Senator Carter, Montana, made an earnest and. forceful appeal to the Senate that the American miners either native born or properly natu ralized should have the first claims. Senator Carter intimated that Senator Teller, Colorado, and others were seeking to change the mining laws. Senator Teller said nobody had pro posed any change of the mining laws except Senator Hansbrough and Senator-Carter, who by their proposed leg islation were protecting the scallawags and scoundrels and blackmailers who were making a business of jumping claims. "These people," declared Mr. Teller with emphasis, "are black mailers or thieves, and since mining was begun in this country they have been the curse of every mining camp. They are among the worst scoundrels that ever went unhung." Without further debate the Alaskan bill was laid aside. The Senate at 5.25 adjourned. House of Representatives. The debate on the Naval appropriation-bill under the five-minute rule to day drifted into politics and for a good portion of the afternoon mem bers fought hammer and tongs across the political aisle. The partisan rancor almost culminated in a sensational scene between Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, the champion of the adminis tration, and Mr. Williams, of Missis sippi.' Some of the Democrats began worrying Mr. Hawley, of Texas, by pointedly asking if the President had not changed his mind on the Porto Rican tariff question, and Mr. Gros venor finally threw himself into the brc&cli ' Mr. Williams made an interruption that drew a sharprejoinder from the Ohioan about the "unfair" advantage talrAn hv the MississiDpian. This aroused the wrath of the latter, and after Mr. Grosvenor had concluded he made a stinging response in which he said parliamentary language would not permit him properly to character ize Mr. Grosvenor's offence. Later, i Mr. Grosvenor disclaimed intentional ; affront, and there the matter ended. I Some progress was made with the I bill, but most of the controverted points went over. A motion to strike from the bill the contingent fund of 1500,000 for 'the Navy Department was defeated.' A point of order against the appropriation of $350,000 for the new naval academy at Anapolis was & when lhe ,Houee adjourned. Mr. Kitchin, North Carolina, a mem i berof the Naval Committee, made a point of order against the provision in the bill appropriating $500,000, to be expended under the direction of the President to meet unforseen contin gencies. The point was overruled by the chair aud Mr. Kitchin - appealed ! The chair was sustained 94 to 70. j Mr. Kitchin then moved to strike the ; appropriation from the bill. Mr. Wheeler, Kentucky,-supported the motion: , Mr. Foss read from the hearing giv en by the committee to Secretary Long, detailing the necessity for this emergency appropriation. Mr. Foss thought present circumstances -war ranted it. Mr. Williams asked Mr. OrnsvBnnr who had joined in the debate, if it was not true that the President had changed his mind on the Porto Rican question. C - " ' There was considerable fencing, Mr. Wheeler, Kentucky, taking a hand in trying to force the Ohioan. " At last Mr. Grosvenor made an allusion to Mr. Williams' method of interrupt ing him, which the latter resented .with an emphasis that portended a per sonal quarrel on 'the floor, but Mr, Williams finally allowed Mr. Grosve nor to proceed, reserving his reply un til the Ohioan had finished. "Does the gentleman deny that the President has changed his mind?" asked Mr. Kitchin, Democrat, of North Carolina, addressing Mr. Grosvenor, "As soon as it became manifest. to the President that money had to be raised in some way and that the Ways and Means Committee of this House had brought in a tariff bill providing for fifteen per cent, or twenty -five per cent.," replied Mr. Grosvenor, "the President recognized the right and power of this House to originate that tariff bill. But I call the gentleman's attention to the fact that in the mes sage of the President he gave no sign or indication of when he desired that free trade measures should go into effect, i We, by our vote, put it so that within the next sixty days, ninety days, four months, any time after the organization of the civil govern ment, the people of Porto Rico can have free trade. The President has signed it and thereby 'given his ap proval to it.'f "The gentleman says the President bows to the kill of Congress," inter posed Mrj Wheeler. "In the debate on the Porto Rican question when the gentleman "appealed to his colleagues to support the pending bill he charged it to be true that the President of the United States was then in accord with him. Mr. Grosvenor I say so now. Mr. Wheeler He changed his opinion. Mr. Grosvenor I say he did not change his opinion in any material respect; he simply changed from the original idea of free trade to what was almost the condition of free trade, that we appended to the measure. The country understands it. Congressman after Congressman who stood here in defence of the bill has been sent back here with a unanimity almost un paralleled. The Republican party will not lose any votes in the coming elec tion because of its action on the Porto Rican bilU We are not holding back by the coat-tails of the world and hal lowing with laughter. We have got something to show for our opinions. Witness the splendid organization by the government of Hawaiian terri tory. Look at the liberal, generous. Christian laws that we have bestowed upon the people of Porto Rico. In due time under the wisdom of the Republican party and under the blessings of God we will send liberty and equal rights, as rapidly as they can comprehend them, to the people of Porto Rico and to the people of the Philippine islands." Applause on the Republican side. When Mr. Grosvenor took his seat Mr. Williams demanded an opportuni ty to reply and time was accorded him. "Mr. Chairman," he said speaking with deliberation, "as a matt 1 grows old, he learns something. I have learn ed something to-day. I will never again, while a member of the Ameri can Congress, undertake to ask a ques tion of any member on this floor who is not sufficiently well versed in the ordinary courtesies of human inter Course as to be capable of returning at least a polite reply to a polite inquiry. Further than that, it would be almost impossible for me without a breach of parliamentary rule to express myself uDon that particular subject. "I asked the gentleman from Ohio a question which he did not answer or would not answer, or in his usual lawyer-like, politician style 'desired to evade. That question has not been answered yet. The gentleman said on this floor that the President of the United States had not changed his mind upon the Porto Rican question. Remember, I did not charge that he had. What I charged was that he had permitted, others to change his mind for him, which in my opinion was not a thing of which any man could at any time be proud. But in charity to the President and in charity to manv of the members of this House, I asked the geutleman.when he denied that the President i, had changed his mind, that he f permit3 me to ask a question and ' he yielded. I asked him whether the President had not in a public message an nounced that he was in favor of free trade between Porto Rico and the balance of the United States, and also whether various members of this House had not risen one after an other to say that the President had told them in private conversation sub sequently that he was at the time of the conversation in favor of the bill which passed the House. There was nothing rude in that inquiry; there was nothing personal in it; there was nothing discourteous in it; there was nothing unprecedented in it; there was nothing in it that could have stirred up wrath in the breast of any man except one who felt as if. he had to break up the convention in a row in order to keep from arriving at an elec tion." iPemocratic applause. Mr. Grosvenor disclaimed any in tention of . affronting . Mr. Williams and there the matter ended. Mr. Kitchen's amendment was lost May 3rd was set aside for the con sideration of the Fee Homes bill. The conference report of the Urgent Deficiency bill was agreed to. At 5 .25 P. M. the house adjourned. THE POPULISTS' STATE CONVENTION PAINE'S Ex-Congressman Harry Skinner Made a Very Sensational - Address. CELERY COMPOUND COMMERCIAL - W1LMIKGTON MARK.KT X DENOUNCED SENATOR BUTLER Cy Thompson Made a Speech-Thl Platform-Delegates to National Conven tion Instructed for W. J. Bryan. A Poll State Ticket. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, April 18. Ex-Con- .gressman Harry the sensation for Convention here Skinner furnished the Populist State today. When the platform was presented he opposed if and offered a minority report. ''I don't believe in playing politics," "We won't have it," (voice, in the gallery). "Dishonesty and fraud practiced by Senator Butler is as mean as that prac ticed by Simmons." (Cheers from the audience and hisses from the stage.) "Do you want Mr." Bryan as President?" ("Yes," "No," - Yes,") "Bryan has in ' his heart the truest populism. If you wish him, then go about it in the right way and nomi nate ai. electors at large Dau Hugh McLean and LeeS. Overman." (Hisses from Dr. Thompson and others on the stage.) "You will do it if you are true iu your advocacy of Bryan and don't want to continue playing pol itics". ("We won't doit!" from Sen ator Butler and Chairman Thompson.) "You can hiss; I don't care anything about it. What I want to say to Dr. Thompson and toMarion Butler is, that if they are honest in their advocacy of Bryan they will do it." ("We do notl" from a voice on the stage.) Then Col. Skinner began discussing the question. He turned hot shot into the camp of the State and the national chairmen, and he received enough ap applause to encourage him to go on. After he concluded his remarks, Cy Thompson came forward. He made a short speech in favor of the platform as it was first submitted, and said: "If Harry Skinner has a grievance against Marion Butler it is unmanly for him to come here to this convention and make the charges. Let him go and settle these differences, man to man, and not come here for it." Dr. Thompson, brought an enthusias tic outburst from the convention, and then moved the adoption of the plat form by acclamation. It was adopted. The convention then went into the nomination of candidates. It is stated to-night, though not on authority, that Col. Skinner will favor the amendment and support the Dem ocratic candidates. The platform was submitted. It re affirms the national platform of 1896, condemns the extravagnce of the Dem ocratic Legislature of 1898. Charges that the Legislature was careless and irregular in its legislation; condemns the constitutional amendment, and de clares the grandfather clause is un constitutional, and that its enaction was infamous. Says that the amend ment disfranchises the peaceable negro and lets the most obnoxious element vote. Declares that it does not settle the negro question and will not 'relieve the people of the troublesome negro.' The poor white man's son will be in chains and without rights. Though the evils are stated, the plat form states that the amendment is not to be a party question, and its constitu tionality must be settled by each indi vidual for himself, when he shall vote. The platform declares in favor of an amendment that will eliminate the en tire negro vote for three generations. It declares the new election law the most infamous ever offered in any State in the Union. - By Associated Press. Raleigh, N. 0., April ; 18.

If the quick and steady dispatch of telegrams from Ko rea mean aught of a really serious na ture, the inference would be that J apan and Russia are on the verge of war. Outwardly, however, there is absolute calm. The present opinion of the com munity seems to be that as the conflict is inevitable, the sooner it occurs the better it will be for Japan. The latter, with her great fleet, far superior to that of brer enemy in those waters, would make short work Of Russia's naval force, and command the situation for the time at least, with all the advan tages which an added, prestige would confer. Russia demands a concession of ter ritory near Masampo. or as an alter native, the island Kotoku. Either would be a standing menace to Japan, and one of the hardest of diplomatic fights is now on Seoul. It is deemed by many to be significant that the whereabouts and movements -of a Japanese fleet of sixty vessels are veiled in the greatest secrecy. That they will be within easy striking dis tance of the "scene of war" may easily be surmised. TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE. s.; Paschal; , Davis of Merrill of Gaining Ground in the Charlotte Division. Mt.

' , New York, April 18. After open ing steady at unchanged prices to an advance of five points on covering, the cotton market ' turned weak but was variable, more or less throughout the session and closed slightly above last night, The early improvement followed unsatisfactory weather and crop accounts; those from sections east of Texas irere particularly unfav orable. -Later, however, the market gave way in the absence of outside support; selling pressure was for a time quite heavy. From the opening there was a "decline of four to ten points, liquidation and sell ing for short accounts being quite active. The public cables were about as expected. In the afternoon the market took a higher level on in dications of smaller receipts and re newed, interest on the part of Wall street in the way of buying," chiefly directed towards the new crop posi tions. Selling of August by Wall street parties was detected later, but a spurt of covering near the close car ried prices above the opening and the close was quiet and steady at a net ad vance of one to three poinjts.
