A FELL BLOW AT FREEDOM TUB WAR AGAINST THE BOERS SO CHA RAOTERIZI'D. WAGED BY THE BRITISH MONEY POWER The Occasion of the Speech Was the Question as to Whether Our Government Had Re cognized a Diplomatic Representative From the Transvaal Republic. Washington, Jan. 10.—A speech, sen sational in fits interest ami international in its importance was delivered in the Senate by Mr. (Hale, (Rep., Me.) The occasion of its utterance was the simple question whether resolution introduced by Mr. Allen, (Pop., Neb ), calling for S information.' as to the recognition by this country of diplomatic representatives’ of the Transvaal Republic should l>e direct ed to the President or to the Secretary of State. Mr. Hale rnado the question the text of an impassioned speech in which he declared that nine tenths of the Am erican peojhle sympathized with the Boers fin their gallant struggle for liberty against one of the greatest powers in the world. He spoke with unusual force, decisive ness, even for him, and his pas.donate eloquence claimed the closest attention of ever}' amWtor. At the oiKniing the Allen resolution, calling upon the Secretary of State for information as to whether any represen tative of the Transvaal had applied to the Unite*! States Government for recogni tion. and if such application had been made if it had been accepted, and if not why not. was laid before the Senate. Mr. Spooner/ IWis.), moved that the resolution bo directed to the President and he -be requested to furnish the infor mation if not incompatible witli public interests. The Senate had no right to demand information from the President, but the President was llie? absolute judge as to whether it was proper to communicate the information asked for. He utterly repudiated lie said, the doctrine advanced repeatedly by Senators that, the people were entitled to information from day to day regarding the conduct of our foreign business. It was perfectly .manifest, he thought, (that diplomacy to be successful must be secret. It was evident, too, that from the status of foreign affairs the Secretary of State was if he servant of the President and not of Congress. Mr. Spooner maintained that the Presi dent ought to have discretionary power about giving out (information as it was given not only to rhe ■ American people, but to the world. Even information giv en by the President in executive* session could not always be held in confidence. Mr. Alien held that, the Secretary of State could with perfect propriety Tie reached: by such a resolution as bis. He declared the matter with which his reso lution dealt was a matter of record —of history—and could not. he thought, affect any diplomatic negotiations. “All that we want,” said Mr. Allen, “is information.” Mr. Spooner regarded it as gross impu dence to call upon the ‘Secretary of State, and a reflection upon the Senate itself to ask for the transmission of confidential information for w hich the President alone was responsible. Mr. Allen replied at length to Mr. Spooner, in the course of which he said it had l>een reported throughout the coun try that the Populist party had gone to pieces. POPULIST PARTY NOT HEAD. “I say to you, Mr. President.” said Mr. Alien, “that these statements' are circulated with a political purpose. There are more Populists in the country today ■than ever before. Mo can cast 2,000,- 000 votes and nut all of those voters are fools either The organization, far from having gone to pieces, is stronger today than at any previous time. In opposition to the amendment. Mr. Teller expressed Ids sympathy with the Boers. Mr. Hale (Maine) did not regard the amendment as essential that either the President or the .Secretary of State should give to the American people in formation regarding the negotiations be tween the United States and Great Brit ain and the Transvaal. "I have yet to lie made to liclieve." lie said, “that any duly accredited repre sentative of that brave people in South Africa has appeared l*efore the Preside.t of ihe United States and been denied a bearing. If that lie true, the sooner we are informed alwmt it the letter for the American people. “I do riot doubt that the American people agree with me that the war which Great Britain is waging is the most foul blow at human liberty that has been struck in the last century. I do not doubt that the Administration represent ing the people of the I nited States feels today as I feel on the subject -and as nine-tenths of (the American i>e.>ple feel.” He quoted from a speech of Mr. Bal four in which the British statesman had declared the Boer war had knit together every branch of the English speaking race. NO SYMPATHY WITH BRITAIN. “I deny, sir,” declared Mr. Hale, with great feeling, “that the American suc tion of that race’ is in sympathy with Great Britain in the South African War to stamp out the liberty of a people. I deny that 11n* American people are to be tied to the chariot wheels of war against (In* South African republics. And when the leader of the Conservatives in the House of ('ominous asserts that he should Ik* met by some disclaimer from this side of the Atlantic. ••I do not wish international complica tions,” said Mr. Hale in conclusion. "I do not wish war. I recall that we have not- been so much in love with neutrality in times past that we could not speak up boldly for Hungary, Po land, Armenia, Cuba and Greece, and I do not know why it is now thiait we must speak with bated breath in favor of liberty. "I do not believe,” said he earnestly '“that the English people are in favor of this war. 1 believe that the great Queen, on tended knees lias prayed! that the war mighit be averted; I do not believe that the great Premier of England fa vored the war. It was the act nndTmove ment of a sharp Cabinet Minister, en gaged with gold speculators, which fa vored the war.” The resolution as amended by Mr. Spooner was adopted. The Financial Bill was laid before the Senate at 2 o’clock. Mr. Morgan (Ala.) addressed the Senate in opposition to it. One of the principal points Mr. Morgan made against the bill was That it confer red too great power on national banks. He strongly argued against the further disqualification of silver as a money metal because of the vast use which could be made of it by the United States in the island possessions of this country. The Senate then adjourned until Mon day. PENSION BILL PASSED. It Carries an Appropriation of $143,- 245,-250. Washington, 10. —The Pension Appro priation Bill carrying $145,245,250 was passed by ihe House today. It was made the vehicle of an attack iqioii the 'Com ; missioner of Pensions by Mr. Curt is. (Rep., Kan.), who was seconded by Mr. I ventz and Mr. Norton, of Ohio, and Mr. Robinson, of Indiana, and other North* rn Democrats. All inveighed against the lack of li'nerality in the administration of the pension laws. 'Hie commissioner was ably defended by a score of members from both sides of the House. A rider was put upon the bill by unan imous consent, empowering the commis sioner in his discretion to withhold the (Continued on Second Page.) WITH AXE AND RAZOR Horrible Crime of Martin Bergen*, Baseball Catcher He Kills His Wis-j and Two Children and Then Commits Suicide. Believed to Have Been Insane. North Brookfield. Mass. Jan. 10. — Martin Bergen, the catcher of the Bos ton base ball team of the National League, killed his wife and two chil dren and committed suicide at his home here today. An axe was the implement used in taking the life of Mrs. Bergen and one of the children, while a razor was employed to cut the throat of the other child, a little girl, and of the man himself. It is thought the action was due to in sanity. It has been suspected for some time that Bergen was a victim of men tal derangement. The tragedy was discovered by the neighbors who found the body of Ber gen and the girl lying on the kitchen floor. Deep cuts in the throat of the child and its father showed how death had been inflicted, and a blood-stained razor lay nearby. Further investigation showed that Mrs. Bergen and the little boy also had been killed. Tlveir bodies lay upon a bed in the chamber and near by was an axe covered with blood. The heads of both tin* woman and the child had Ikmmi crushed bw the blunt (lid of the axe and presented horrible wounds. Bergen was 29 years of age. II is wife was of about the same age, the little girl was 8 or 9 years old. and ihe boy a little younger. They Thank Senator Morgan. Winston, N. Jan. 10.—(Special.)— Robert E.

The commission further rules that a carrier cannot lawfully establish and maintain an adjustment of rates which in practice prevents shipi>ers on its line from availing themselves of a principal market which they have long been using, and confers a substantial monojKdy upon a new market in which for reasons of its own it has greater interest.
