CARMACK CUTS BACK HOT
*
He and Dolliver Shake Hands After
the Encounter.
THE CONFERENCE AT HAMPfON RfIADS
Senator Vest Gives the Details of That Historic
Meeting, Removing a Stain Flung
Upon the Escutcheon of the
Confederacy,
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, D. (\, May B.—Discus
sion of the Philippine bill in the Senate
today while it scarcely abated in bit
terness, took on an amusing- phase. In
a breezy speech Mr. Dolliver, of lowa,
made such a good natured and yet such
a sarcastic arraignment of Mr. Carmack,
of Tennessee, that Senators and occu
pants of the thronged galleries were
convulsed with laughter. While, seem
ingly, considerable temper was aroused
by the debate, good feeling was shown
by the active participants in the war of
words—Mr. Dolliver and Mr. Carmack —
who cordially shook hands and laughed
ever the encounter.
Mr. Burton, of Kansas, concluded the
speech which he began yesterday. He
referred as instances of atrocious cruel
ty to the battle of Wounded Knee to the
Mountain Meadow Massacre and to the
massacre of Union soldiers at Fort Pil
low and contended that the action of the
American troops in the Philippines was
in most instances, entirely within the
regulations of civilized warfare.
Continuing Mr. Burton referred to
“the remarkable speech” delivered in the
Senate yesterday by Mr. Tillman, (S.
C.) He paid a tribute to the work be
ing done by oßoker Washington for the
colored race and suggested that if the
colored people would follotv his advice
they would he successful.
Mr. Vest, (Mo.), ealed attention to
the statement of Mr. Tillman made yes
terday which, he said, he was compelled
to take notice of in justice both to the
living and the dead. That statement,
which has been found in the public
press and upon the lecture platform for
the last three years, was that at the
historic conference in Hampton Roads
in 1564 between resident Lincoln, Wil
liam H. Seward, Alexander H. Stephens,
It. M. T. Hunter, Formerly United
States Senator, and John A- Campbell,
formerly Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, President Lincoln wrote
upon a piece of paper: “Save the Un
ion,” the handing it to Stephens, said:
“Alex, take this paper and fil up for
yourselves the conditions of peace be
tween the two countries.”
Mr. Vest said the story had been de
nied by John H. Reagan, of Texas, who
was the last surviving member of the
Confederate Cabinet.
He knew personally, said Mr. Vest,
without having been present at that
celebrated interview, that the incident
was without the slightest foundation.
“If true.” said he, “it could place the
government and officers of the Confed
erate States in the category of crimi
nals, because it offered the Confeder
acy al that it ever demanded in the wild
est hope of the most extreme partisans
of that cause If they would only return
tc the union.”
A deep silence had fallen upon the
chamber and every Senator on the door
listened to him with rapt attention. With
great deliberateness he continued:
' If true it would mean that the Con
federates could have placed in that
sheet of paper the perpetual establish
ment of slavery and the right of seces
sion, the most extreme demand that had
ever taken shape even in the dream of
any Confederate.”
From the lips of Stephens and Hun
ter had come to him, he said, the details
of what took place. Upon the return of
the commissioners of the Confederacy
he heard their ofeial report as Mr. Rea
gan heard it, ho being a member of the
Cabinet and himself a member of the
Confederate Senate. “I am today the
only surviving member of the tventy
jsix gentlemen who acted as Confederate
Senators,” he said.
Mr; Vest then stated that what did
happen at Hampton Roads beyond ques
tion was this: That when the President
and Secretary Seward met the commis
sioner of the oCnfederaey, Mr. Lincoln,
addressing himself to Mr. Hunter, whom
he knew' well, said: “In the first place,
gentlemen, I desire to know what your
powers and instructions from the Rich
mond government,” avoiding, said Mr.
Vest, as Mr. Hunter told himself, the
words “Confederate States.”
Mr. Hunter, to whom the inquiry was
addressed, sail:
‘‘.Mr. President, we are instructed to
consider no proposition that does not in
volve the independence of the Confederate
States of America.”
“Then,” said Mr. Lincoln, “the inter
view had as well terminate now', for I
.must say to you gentlemen, frankly and
honestly, that nothing will be accepted
front the government at Richmond except
absolute and unconditional surrender.”
Mr. Vest then said that this termina
ted the interview as the Confederate com
missioners: retired, President Lincoln,
addressing Stephens, who was the last to
go out, said:
“Stephens, you are making a great
mistake, our government is a failure and
when the crash comes, as it must come,
there will be chaos and disaster which
we cannot now' foresee w'hich must come
to your people.”
“This account of that interview,” con
tinued Mr. Vest, “substantially and al
most word for word as I have given it,
came to me from Mr. Stephens and Mr.
Hunter.”
Mr. Vest said that he considered it his
duty to make this statement in order
that that history may not be falsified:
in order that the men who were said to
have refused this offer at the hands of
President Lincoln should not be made to
sin in their graves, adding, “For if they
had refused what was said to have been
tendered to them by the President they
would have been accessories to the mur
der of every man who fell from that
time in defense of the Confederate cause
and they should have given the lie to the
intentions which they professed when
they risked everything, everything that
is held dear amongst men in defense
of the Confederate cause.”
While deep silence still reigned in the
chamber, he spoke and with every eye
directed towards him, Mr. Vest conclud
ed. as follows:
“It may be but a very short time until
I shall joint the twenty-five colleagues
I had in the Confederate Senate and I
did not want this statement to go into
the record of this country without my
statement of these facts and my solemn
denial that there is a shadow of tiulh
in this assertion which has been eoir.g
the rounds of the newspapers of .he
country for the last few years.
The discussion of the Philippine Pill
then was resumed and Mr. Carmack
(Term.), replying to Mr. Burton, made
a bitter denunciation of General Funston.
He said he did not doubt his physical
courage but a few' acts of dare-deviltrv
in the Philippines did not make a hero.
When Funston had stated that Agui
naldo had burned 300 people alive at or.e
time, said Mr. Carmack, he told a delib
erate and premeditated lie. In his opin
ion, he said, Funston is not to be be
lieved under any question whatever. The
sudden waking up of the Republicans, he
said, was for the deliberate purpose of
reviving sectional hate in order to di
vert this debate and attention of the
people from atrocities which have been
permitted in the Philippines.
I suppose it is in obedience to in
structions from the White House.” he
said, “that the effort is long made to re
open the wounds of the country that have
been healed.”
Facing the Republican side and speak
ing with evident emotion, Mr. Carmack
said:
“I shall be ready to meet every slan
derer of the South and every detainer
of its honor, whether the assailant comes
from some part of the country beyond
the borders of the South or whether it
be some recreant and degenerate •mn who
has proved a traitor to the womb and
bosom of his mother.”
After stating that he would not lie
diverted from the issue now before the
Senate by falsehoods brought into the
debate, Mr. Carmack said referring to
the charges of lynching, etc., in the
South: “You cannot help us hv denun
ciation. The best, thing you can do is to
keep your mouth shut and let us alone.”
Turning his attention to the Philip
pine question and especially to the
speech of Mr. Lodge, Mr. Carmack said
the Massachusetts Senator was so nar
row that he could not have a proper
appreciation of the arguments that have
been made against the present Philip
pines policy. He declared that Mr.
Lodge was dishonoring the American
army and the American Senate by de
fending orders which looked to the mur
der of women and children. Such orders
of death, a brutal and inhuman order —
could not be by anybody: yet
these w'ere the orders which Senators had
“devilish impudence” to justify.
“Does the Senator think,” inquired Mr.
Spooner, “that the phrase ‘devilish impu
dence’ is proper under the rules ol the
Senate?”
“No. I do not.” said Mr. Carmack, “and
I withdraw the expression.”
Mr. Carmack, quoting from the speech
of Mr. Lodge, said that the Massachu
setts Senator had not suggested any
reason why Gen. Smith should not be
hanged as a common murderer.
“Smith has not,” said Mr. Carmack,
“burned people at the stake. He has
done nothing but butcher a w’hole people
in cold blood. He has dishonored the
whole American army.” He declared
that the United States was entering upon
a century, perhaps three centuries of
constant warfare, for no other result
than that a few carpet bag thieves
might have opportunity to rob the peo
ple of the Philippine Islands as they
used to rob the people of the South.
Mr. Foraker interrupted to inquire if
Mr. Carmack thought it was the purpose
of President McKinley i ntaking over the
Philippine Islands to provide a theatre
of scoundrelism.
Mr. Carmack replied that McKinley’s
purpose was that of “benevolent assimi
lation,” “the purpose of the Republican
party now is malevolent dissimilation.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Dolliver then read an editorial
from a Memphis newspaper upon Mr.
Carmack’s recent speech on the Philip
pine question in which that paper took
sharp issue with the Tennessee Senator
as to his conclusions. Mr. Dolliver’s
comments upon the editorial as he read
it w’ere highly amusing and both the
Senators on the floor and the people in
the gallery laughed heartily at his sar
castic allusions.
In reply Mr. Carmack said that he had
no idea of “tossing jaw bones with the
redoubtable tongue slugger from lowa.”
Ho said that where his language was not

PERHAPS FATALLY BURNED.
Sad Accident to a Young Wife and Mother in
Lenoir County
(Special to eNw s and Observer.)
Kinston, N. C., May B.—Mrs. Myrtle
Sutton, wife of Mr. Guy Sutton, a well
known farmer of this county, and a
daughter of Mr. Shade Fields, of Kin
ston, was perhaps fatally burned yester
day evening. She was making some dye
in a big pot in the yard, when her cloth
ing caught on fire and in a moment she
was wrapped in flames. Her screams
attracted some neighbors and they throw
her down and rolled her over in some
blankets, and then tore her clothing off.
She was horribly burned, two-thirds of
the skin on her body coming off. She
suffered great agony before medical aid
was had from Kinston. Everything pos
sible was done for her, hut there is
little hope of her recovery. She has a
five-weeks’ old child, and is a wife of
enly twelve months.
Snow Hill has an anti-saloon league
as a result of the temperance lecture
delivered there a few da vs ago by Rev.
W. G. Johnston, of Kinston.
Rev. B. F. McLoatch, a former Kin

H. & B Beer’s Market Detter.
(Special to Nows and Observer.)
New Orleans, La., May B.—-Liverpool
advices were disappointing, consequently
our market opened S to 9 points lower
on old crop months and 4 to 5 points on
new. Fresh buying orders, however,
came in shortly after, causing an im
provement of 6 to 7 points from the bot
tom. About this time the weakness of
spots, the heavy port receipts and the
liberal estimates for New Orleans and
Houston receipts tomorrow brought ahout
selling which superinduced a oreak of 17
to 20 points from the top on old crop op
tions and sto 9' points on new. After the
elimination of stop orders values ’stead
ied slightly, making the net loss of 16
[ to 20 points on summer positions and
3 to 9 points on new. From present in
dications the amount to be brought into
sight during the week points to about
65,000 as compared to 74,000 last year and
48,000 year before last. The visible sup
ply statement is expected to be bullish.
Still from the character of reports re
ceived from Lancashire and the conti
nent it is anticipated that spinners from
now out will curtail consumption of
American considerably, owing to the high
prices of the raw article which precludes
their entering into new engagements. It
is claimed there is no parity between
the prices goods are being disposed of
now oven with raw cotton bought fully
a cent under existing rates. Favorable
reports are being received relative to
J the next crop', but they generally are at
I this time of the year. Nevertheless,
I there are many vicissitudes which the
crop must undergo before maturing
.therefore if it meets with any serious
set-back the new crop months will ad
vance sharply. While we advise against
operation on either side in the old crop
months we think the heavy discounts on
the new are an inducement to make pur
chases on weak periods as there is only
a minimum amount of risk attached 1o
these transactions.

SCORE WAS TEN TO TWO
New Bern Pulls the String From the
Festive Hornets.
AND WILMINGTON SMASHES GREENS3ORO
The Record of the Day in the State League Yes
terday Showed Surprise But Raleigh
Still Leads the List With Its
Ball Forces.
After a great parade, in which music,
gay colors and the pennant for 1901 were
conspicuous, Raleigh played ball yes
terday.
There wore perhops 1,200 present at the
grounds, who cheered heartily as the ,
pennant was run up on the flag pole in
centre field.
These cheered more when Raleigh won
the fourth of the present series and its
first game with Durham, by a score of
10 to 2.
It was not a spirited game, for it was
onesided, almost from the jump, for in
the first two innings Raleigh had eight
•runs, one in the first and seven in the
second. After this two were captured in
the fifth and no more.
Durham scored but twice, once in the
fourth inning and once in the ninth. It
tried and tried, aqd came near getting in
a few more, but could not do it.
Morris, who started in to pitch for
Durham, was pounded for two hits in
the second inning, gave bases on balls
and hit a batter. He was out of it and
aptain Stocksdale took his place, but it
was too late.
With such a lead as it had Raleigh left,
the Durham lads in despair, and the
game was so evidently a onesided affair
that interest in it was largely lost,
though the many beautiful plays of the
Pennant Winners brought applause, nor
was this lacking when the visiting team
did good work.
Roy, for Raleigh, pitched a magnificent
game, and as he put out the last man,
by running to first with the ball he had
stopped, he won great applause.
There were stars all about in Raleigh's
team and some Durham players did good
work, but all in all, it seemed as if ama
teurs were up against professionals. The
work of the Raleigh team was/magnifi
cent. and only one error was marked
against it yesterday. This was a lit
tle one charged against eonard on first,
to whom the ball was thrown very low.

Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, Is
quite a baseball crank. .He hopped off
a train from New York this morning and
the first question he asked was how the
Durham-Charlotte game came out. Where
he was told that Durham was defeated
by a score of 12 to 2 his countenance fell
perceptibly and he began to wonder why.
