Tlllmss Declared It a Stesl-Cockrell
Claimed Moaey Woald be Refunded.
Lodge Pfesd for EcooomyQor
man on Rivers sod Harbors.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
WiSHHtOTON, Feb. 8. After al
most allowing the amendment to the
Urgent Deficiency appropriation bill
providing; for a loan of f 4,600,000 to
the St. Louis Exposition to go through
without any discussion whatever, the
8en ate to-day changed its tactics just
as the vote was about to be taken and
entered upon a debate on the loan pro
vision which continued for about four
hours and which was still In progress
when the Senate adjourned for the
day.
The debate was precipitated by 'a
point of order made against the amend
ment by Mr. Bailey who supported
his point with a speech based on the
theory that the national government
was not, as such, concerned with the
success or failure of any exposition.
Be wss supported , by Mr. Lodge and
Mr. Elkins, while speeches were made
in support of the amendment by Messrs
Allison, Oockrell, Spooner, McOomas
and others.
Mr. Tillman said he wanted to say
something on this "loan or gift," the
latter, he thought, as it was not likely
tbat the government would ever get
anything back. In the course of bis
remarks be said- South Carolina bad
a share of the steal that had been se
cured by other cities and he bad help'
ed to get it What be meant was that
this expenditure of money was unlaw
ful and unconstitutional.
Mr. Spooner remarked that the sen
ator from South Carolina bad put him
aelf on record as participating in a
steal.
"What I mean," declared Mr. Till
man, "Js that when Congress takes
money from the people and gives it
away for expositions It amounts to a
s'.eal, and what I want to know
is, how far are we to go and bow much
longer we are to participate In "
Here Mr. Tillman hesitated.
"Steals." interrupted Mr. Spooner.
"Yes, steals," said Mr. Tillman, de
fiantly. ,
Mr. Bacon said tbat as he intended
to vote for the amendment, be did not
want the impression to go out that it
was in the wrong.
He thought the appropriation a
proper one. In reply to a queatlon
from Mr. Bailey, be aald that be did
not endorse the principle, and that If
the practice of giving aid to exposi
tions was now being initiated be would
oppose the practice. But in view of
what had been done in the put, be
considered it not out of place to make
the appropriation.
Mr. Elkins suggested that better
security should be given than the
amendment requires, and msde an ar
gument for what be called business
methods. He called attention to the
fact that there Is an Imminent possi
bility of a deficit of $40,000,000 in the
treasury. "Where la the money com
ing from! Are we going to take it
from the rivers and harbors t" he asked.
Mr. Cockrell said there could be
little doubt that the money would be
refunded, as the provision gives a lien
on the entire proceeds. "I want it
distinctly understood," he said, "that
this is not a girt, but a loan, wmcn x
believe will be returned."
Mr. Bailey quoted Mr. Tillman as
having asked where the practice of
giving aid to such InstituUons would
stop, and replying, said like the brook
It would "go on forever."
He also referred to the fact that
knowing Mr. Tillman's Impatience
with the amendment he intended vo
ting for it because of the aid that the
Charleston exposition bad received of
Congress.
Mr. Tillman made an explanation
of the assistance given to Charleston.
He also referred with evident feeling
to Mr. Bailey's reference to his own
attitude, saying that the latter had
characterized the appropriation as a
steal."
Mr. Bailey disclaimed any intention
to speak of the appropriation so barsb-
ly. "I don go so far." be said. l
consider it a misappropriation."
Mr. Lodge called attention to the
plea for economy on account of the
treasury. Some senators might say
we need, no more battleships, but be
did not agree, for they are necessary
to maintain peace on tbla hemisphere
and to support the Monroe Doctrine.
When, therefore, we are asked to
economize In tbat direction and to give
alms like this, there is a curious con
tradiction. Mr. Gorman replied: "Can it be,"
be asked, "that the conduct of finan
cial sff sirs of the country has been of
such a character that we are to be
atopped from gtvlng the necessary aid
to an exposition to which all the world
Is looking forward as the greatest event
since 1876? Can It be tbat such a con
dition as this exiats without measures
being taken to remedy it by the party
Inpowei?"
He said that all the ereat ports of
the country needed better harbors, and
asked if the commercial interests were
to be hampered and checked by the
"stand pat" policy and because of the
lavish expenditures made on account
of war.
He was delighted that the senator
from Massachusetts, Mr. Hemmen-
way, of the Committee on lie ports,
bad brought to light that the present
revenue laws were a failure, and it
was well for the country to know
that the refusal to amend and change
them was due to the fear caused by
the approaching campaign. Mr. Gor
man dwelt upon the prospects of not
securing a river and harbor bill, and
said that money for the improvement
of the rivers and harbors was even
more Important than the'payment of
the salaries of Congressmen.
"Have we not." be said, "more ships
than can bs manned and a navy five
fold larger than ever contemplated by
the fathers for the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine. Let war wait and
commerce be protected," be went on.
"Take from war and give the attorney
sreneral a home. Make your appro
prlalloDsfor lb St. Lious fair, and lor
the harbors at Boston, New York and
other points. Reduce your duties and
meet the competition tbat is coming

and coming rapidly. That seems to
be the policy this country should
adopt " He said that our present era
of prosperity was on the wane.
Mr. Spooner replied to Mr. Gorman,
saying that the speech was purely par
tisan, fie assured Mr. Gorman that
be need; not fear for the prosperity
tf the country and for a revenueitbat
would be adequate to enable us to do
all that we ought to do. He said If
the Democratio leader had atopped to
calculate he would have discovered
tbat the area of prosperity bad begun
when the Democratic administration
ended. -
Mr. Spooner msde, a personal. refer
ence to Mr. Gorman aa "the most ad
roit and non partisan statesman In the
world," which caused all the sena'ors,
including Mr, Gorman, to smile.- Ho
suspected Mr. Gorman, he said, of the
authorship of a parr of the Demo
cratic platform adopted at 8l. Louis,
in 1888, but had not supposed that he
had naJ anything to do rilh the tariff
declarations of 1892. Which policy,
he asked, will be adopted by the Dem
ocratic party "I might say the re
united Democracy at its next conven
tion!" "May we not," Mr. Tillman, asked,
"be allowed to adopt the senator's
policy in regard to the Philippines
and leave that to the Democratic
masses!"
"I don't know which branch of the
party will be In control," responded
Mr. Spooner.
To this sally Mr. Tillman replied:
"Neither can we tell what part Gov
ernor Cummins with bis Iowa Idea
will play In the Republican convent
lion." - , '
Mr. 8pooner then made the Impor
tant and apparently authorized an
nouncement that the Republican par
ty did not intend to enter Into a revis
ion of the tariff at this session of Con
gress. Asked why, be replied that
the reason was found in the fact that
such an effort would too greatly dis
turb the business Interests of the coun
try. A Presidential electioTr was en
tirely sufficiently disturbing without
adding unnecessarily to the complica
tions. After further remarks by Messrs.
Hale, Elkins, Mitchell and others,
the Senate adjourned until to-morrow.
House of Representatives.
Indiana and Kentucky locked horns
in the House to-day. The debate,
which involved nearly every member
of both State delegations, was fast and
furious from start to fiaisb. Ken
tucky demanded of Indiana the re
turn of W. H. Taylor, tbat be might
be tried for the assassination of Wil
liam Goebel. The aasault was made
by Mr. James, of Kentucky, and the
de'ence waa led by Mr. Orumpacker,
of Iodians. Partisan feeling rose to
an extreme tension, and as either side
scored both applause and derision re
sulted. The debate waa baaed on the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill.
Mr. James aroused both sides of the
House to Interest and feeling by de
claring at the outaet that the "Rough
Rider President" wss ridiculous in bia
message to Congress favoring inter
national extradition treaties, when one
State could not get from another
fugitivea from justice. He tad, he
said, introduced a bill in which the
Federal government made extradition
compulsory in cases where persons
bad been indicted for crime.
For four years, be said. Governor
Duibic, in Iodians, had protected
Taylor, wbo bad been regularly in
dicted in Kentucky for the murder
of Goebel. "And yet I notice that
when Durbin comes to town," contln
ing Mr. Jame?, "be Is wined and
dined by this great Don Qjixote upon
extradition, who absolutely confides
to Durbin the right to give the wait
ing and anxioua world the news that
Hanna can rnn for President it be
wants to. And when we all read that
we again declare 'Toe king can do no
wrong.' "
Mr. Crumpscker, or Indiana, arose
to make a reply to Mr. James, and
brought a storm of questions from the
Democratic side. The governor of
Indiana needed no defence, began Mr.
Crumpacker, especially to any one ac
quainted with the Kentucky election
of 1899. He declared Taylor bad been
elected governor, that the Kentucky
juries bad been packed, and that his
tory would jusurytne action oi In
diana. Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, corn-
batted the idea tbat the Kentucky
juries were "corrupt and rotten." In
some respects, ne said, tne speecn oi
Mr. Crumpacker was a disgrace to
American civilization. It was ridicul
ous to suppose that all purity reigned
In Indiana and that juat across the
river all was corruption.
The tension was lessened and better
nature restored by the interposition of
a speech on the reorganization of the
consular service by Mr. Adams, of
Pennsylvania, but it afterwards
broke ont again under the lead of
Mr. Stanley, of Kentucky, only to be
again quelled7,.0y a ;iong speech
avsinst Canadian reciprocity by Mr.
Volstead of Minnesota.
The aeaiion was concluded at 5
o'clock by a ten-minute appeal by
Mr. Harrison, of New xork, for treat
ment of American citizens abroad,
especially for American Hebrews In
Russia.

Tokio, Feb. 3. A specially called
conference of the cabinet, elder states
men and military and naval chiefs was
held to-day at the realderfcs of Premier
Kataura. The meeting is believed to
have been of much importance,,
though no details of the discussion
have been given the public. Possibly
it foreshadows energetic action on ac
count of Russian procrastination.
Although the government continues
reticent it is manifest tbat the situa
tion is of the gravest, and that the
crisis is near at hand. The time in
which the Russian reply will continue
to be a factor in the situation is nar
rowing. The patience of the government is
becoming exhausted-and If the ex
pected answer Is deferred many days
longer, the issuance of an ultimatum
by Japan will become Inevitable.
The Japanese feel tbat the exist
ing conditions have entitled them to a
more prompt reply and are bound to
infer tbat the Bt. Petersburg govern
ment Is determined not to yield, but is
utilizing the time to advance Its pre
parations for war.
Russia's Movements.
Poet Arthur, Feb. S. In response
to the Japaneae war measures Impor
tant naval and mUitary movements
ha ve been effected here. The Russian
squadron heretofore inside the harbor,
consisting of the battleships Retvizan,
Peresviet, Czarevitch, Orel and Sevas
topol, 'and the cruisers Fremiaschek
andSmlety, haveljoined the outside
fleet, consisting of the battleships
Probieda, Petropavlovsk and Pottavs,
the cruisers Diana, Pallada, Askold,
Varyag and Boyarin, and the torpedo
gunboat Bakan. The last named ves
sel has just arrived here from Che
mulpo, Corea, with complete Japanese
charts of the Corean coast.
In consequence of the narrow and
dangerous entrance at low water It
took the warships three days to get
out of the harbor. The accomplish
ment of this task Is regarded as spe
cially Important, owing to the danger
of the ahips being Immured by an ac
cident in the channel.
The cruiser Djigit, the torpedo gun
boat Galdamak, the sloop of war
Ztblyaka, four gunboats and the
torpedo flotilla remain inside.
Simultaneously the third brigade of
Siberian rifles and two batteries of
artillery started for an unannounced
destination from Liao-Yang, south of
Mukden.
Altogether about 8.000 troops have
departed, leaving 10,000 men at Port
Arthur exclusive of the troops man
ning the fortifications.
To Declare War.
London, Feb. S. A dispatch to
Reuier's Telegram Company, from 8t.
Petersburg, dated yesterday and for
warded by way of the frontier, saya
the Russian general staff has given
Viceroy Alexieff authority to declare
war and open hostilities on bis own
responsibility if circumstances render
it necessary.
The dispatch adds that an imperial
manifesto declaring war is expected If
the Japanese government does not ac
cept the conditions proposed in Rus
sia's response, which, it is asserted,
will be Russia's last word.
The Rosslso Bote.
Bt. Petersburg?, Feb. 3. The state
ment printed abroad saying the Rus
sian note is held backwhile M. Kurino,
the Japanese minister, communicates
its substance to his government, Is
untrue.
The Associated Press Is seml-offi-cially
assured that the Ruasian re
sponse will not be sent before Febru
ary 5 th. at the earliest.
The tension unquestionably is In
creasing and the Bourse ahows a ner
vous feeling, but beyond the decided
Russian military activity there is lit
tle definite news.
M. Kurino denies that the Foreign
Office has given bim an intimation of
the nature of the reply. The Japanese
legation Is without advices indicating
important developments in Japan, but
it is admitted that the long delay in the
response, coupled with the re
ports of Russian military ac
tivity, are doubtleaa increasing the
tension and gravity of the situation in
Japan. Tte strain here Is manifested
by the continuous semi-panicky condi
tion of the Bourse. The papers still
hope for peace, but they show a more
skeptical tone.
Bt. Petersburg;, February 8. The
Seoul-Fusan railroad has been occu
pied by Japaneae troops, according to

By Telegraph to Um Morning BUi .
Wasbmtgtoh, Feb. 3. Senator
M. Hanna had a setback late this
afternoon which for a time consid
erably alarmed his family. He was
seized with a congestive chill. Mem
bers of the family were on hand at
ts first outbreak and by tbe prompt
application of mustard plasters and
hot water the attack was prevented
rom becoming serious, and later it
was stated tbat the senator's con
dition was again almost at his nor
mal state of the past few weeks.
Dr. Eixey to-night said: "Sena
tor Hanna's condition is not alarm
ing and I hope he will be ont in a
week or ten days."

Chicago. Jan. 3. Wheat has not
sold so high in this market either for
spot or future deMvery since June
1898 in which month the Letter deal
culminated. Wheat was bought by
millers. Tbe high prices paid at
Chicago are a direct result of the deal
in May being engineered by Armour.
May wheat sold to-day at the top
price for ithe season at 94 ie,
a eain or ztz3 over yesier
day. The advance was accompanied by
active covering oi shorts and much
speculative excitement. Prices
for corn, oats and provisions were also
doing some lofty climbing. May corn
was up Sic to 65. May oats sold to 46,
a gain of liltc and May pork to
13.70. a ealn of 25 cents. The display
of bullishness was said to be largely
the result of buying by speculators
who have made big profits in cotton
and have now transferred their deal
ings to the grain and provision mar
kets.
