AND THIS AMENDMENT IS REJECTED The Spconer Substitute For the Hepburn Nicar agua Canal Bill Adopted by the Senate by Forty-Two to Thirty* Four. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, June 19.—An Isthmian canal, while not yet absolutely assured, is nearer to construction than it ever has been. The Senate today by a major ity of eight votes adopted the Spooner substitute for the Hepburn Nicaragua Canal bill. The vote on the substitute being 42 to 34. The detailed vote fol ia ws: Yeas: Aldrich, Allison, Bard, Bever idge, Burnham, Burrows, Burton, Clark, (Wyo.), Cullom, Deboe, Deitrieh, Dry den, Fairbanks, Foraker, Foster, (Wash.), Frye, Gallinger, Gamble, Hale, Hanna, Hansbrougb, Hoar, Jones, (Ark.), Jones, (Nev.), Kean, . Ivittridge, Dodge, McComas, McCumber, McMillan, Mason, Millard, Platt, (Conn ), Pritch ard, Proctor, Quarles, Scott, Spooner, Teller, Warren, Wellington, Wetmore— forty-two. Nays: Bacon, Bailey, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Carmack, Clapp, Clark, (Mont ), Clay, Cockrell, Culberson, Dan iel, Duboise, Foster, (La.), Harris, Hawley, Heitfeld, McLaurin, (Miss.), Mallory, Martin, Mitchell, Morgan, Nel son, Patterson, Perkins, Pettus, Platt, (N. Y.), Quay, Simmons, Stewart, Talia ferro, Turner, Vest—thirty-four. The following pairs were announced, the first named in each case being fav orable to Panama and the second against it: Depew with McEnery; Dillingham with Tillman; Dolliver with Money; Kearns with Gibson; McLaurin, (S- C.), with Simon. Elkins and Rawlins were absent and unpaired. After two amendments to the measure had been adopted one providing for a commission to supervise the construction of the canal and the other providing for tlie issuance of bonds to construct the water way, it was passed by a vote of 67 to G, the votes in the negative being cast by Messrs. Bate, (Tenn.); Cockrell, (Mo); Daniel, (Va.); Dubois, (Idaho); Pettus, (Ala.), and Vest, (Mo). It has been evident for several days that the Spooner substitute would com mand the votes of a majority of the Senate. The Panama route was consid ered more desirable by the Senate than the Nicaraguan route. The only ques tion left open is the title to the property and that the President will determine, if the House shall adopt the Senate amendments to the bill. Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, closed to day s debate with an earnest appeal for the adoption of the Nicaragua route. He had been preceded by Mr- Clark, of Mon tana, in support of the Nicaragua route, and Mr. Allison, of lowa, in support of the Spooner proposition. Only minor amendments, except those indicated, were adopted, all others being voted down. Mr. Bacon, <Ga.), offered to the Spoon er substitute the amendment providing for the appointment of an Isthmian Canal Commission to direct the construc tion of the canal and providing that seven members of the commission shall receive such compensation as the Presi dent shall prescribe until it is other wise fixed by the Congress. Mr. Spooner accepted the amendment and it was agreed to 52 to 22- Mr. Mallory, (Fla.), offered an amend ment to the Spooner amendment, pro viding that if the President could not within six months got a clear title to the Panama Company’s rights and conces sions he should proceed with the Nicara gua Canal. Mr. Spooner moved to lay (he amend ment on (he table and the motion was agreed to. 44 to 31. A like amendment offered by Mr. Mal lory limiting the time of the President’s decision as to the Panama route to 12 months was rejected, 35 to 39. Mr. Mitchell offered an amendment to the Spooner substitute providing that even though the President is satisfied he can obtain a clear title to the Panama Canal Company’s property, if he shall be convinced for any reason that it is not for the best interests of the United States to purchase the Panama property or if he shall think the canal ought to be con structed by the Nicaragua route he shall proceed to the construction of the canal by the Nicaragua route. Mr. Spooner's motion to lay the amend ment on the table was agreed to, 43 to « 2. A direct vote then was obtained on the Spooner substitute which was adopted by the vote already given. The vote upon the Spooner substitute disposed of the pending question and the substitute, as adopted, was reported from the Committee of the Whole to the Sen ate. Mr. Hoar (Mass.), then offered a substi tute for the Spooner proposition making it the duty of the President to decide by which route the canal should be con structed. It was rejected, 13 to 62. Mr. Fairbanks then offered an amend ment providing for the issue of $130,- 000,000 of gold bonds bearing 2 per cent interest to pay for the construction of the canal. Mr. Culberson moved to lay the amendment on the table and the mo tion was defeated, 36 to 39. The amend- was then adopted, 38 to 36. Mr. Mason then offered an amendment to Mr. Fairbanks’ amendment, provid ing that all the people of the United States should have opportunity to sub scribe to the proposed loan. The amend ment was agreed to without division. Mr. Morgan then offered the Nicaragua Canal Bill as a substitute for the Spoon er preposition, thus raising the question previously passed upon. Mr. Spooner moved to lay the Nicaragua Pill on the table and the motion was agreed to, 41 to 33. The bill then passed, 67 to 6. On motion of Mr. Morgan, the Senate then asked a conference with the House upon the bills passed by the two branches of Congress and Messrs. Morgan, Hanna and Kittridge were named as conferees. The Senate had some debate over the trouble into which it has gotten with the House over amendments to the Army Appropriations Bill, and finally asked for a conference with the House, ignoring the (Continued on Page Two.)

CLEVELAND ALSO SPEAKS Awakened Interest m Success of Demo cratic .Principles, TIRFD OF REPUBLCW HYPOCRISY Loyalty to Government Defined. Roosevelt’s Arlington Speech He-d up to Condemna tion, Place His Administration Will Occupy in History, (By the Associated Press.) New York, June 19.—The feature of the evening at the opening of the Tilden Club here was the speech of David Bennett Hill. Mr. Hill among other things said: "The signs of the times point unmis takably to an awakened interest in the promotion of the success of Democratic principles of government. These fani festations, however, are not confined with in strict party lines, but renewed activity in political affairs is displayed as well among those of independent proclivities and among thu people generally who are not satisfied with existing political condi tions and desire a change of public poli cies now prevailing. “There is especially a deep conviction among thoughtful people that there is something radically wrong in the foreign policy of the present administration." Mr. Hill here referred to the recent speech of Mr. Hoar in the Senate upon the Philippine question and said that it had made a profound and lasting impres sion upon the heart and conscience of the country. “This great and patriotic speech,” con tinued the speaker, “was not met or an swered by the partisan address of Presi dent Roosevelt, delivered on Declaration Day in violation of the proprieties of the occasion, wherein he purposely or inad vertently confused the well recognized distinctions which exist between the ad ministi’ation and the government—be tween the army and the government and between all the other officials of the gov ernment and the government itself; and assumed to question the loyalty of those who have ventured'to criticise the cruel acts of a few officers of the army who, if semi-official reports are correct, have undoubtedly disgraced the uniform which they wear. “Loyalty to this government does not consist in ostentatious professions of ’in tense Americanism’ nor in indifference to the preservation or spread of republican forms of government everywhere, nor in | suppressing free speech, nor in conquer ing the free people of other and distant | lands who (lesire to govern themselves: nor in unlawfully sending accredited rep resentatives of this government abroad, without the consent of the Senate, to wit ness the coronation of a King whose mon archial government, to its shame be it said, had Just succeeded in crushing the two struggling republics of South Africa. “And right here I may be permitted to suggest that the administration of Pres ident Roosevelt will particularly stand in history as the one during the existence of which the republics of those brave and gallant people were destroyed—de stroyed without one word of protest or one effort to save them or one kind word of sympathy for them in their unequal struggle expressed on the part of this the greatest republic of the world, whose influence should always be exerted on the side of free institutions. “In, contrast with that supine attitude of the Roosevelt administration we should not forgot the vigorous and patriotic action of that Democratic President— who honors this club with his presence here tonight—who, when that same mighty empire of Great Britain in 1895, attempted to crush the republic of Venezuela, prominently sent that famous message to Congress, which electrified the country, wherein he insisted that Great Britain might not be permitted under the pretense of a boundary dis pute, to seize Venezuela without first submitting the alleged differences to in ternational arbitration, or else this Gov ernment would interpose its strong arm for the protection of that epublic and Great Britain finally concluded to arbi trate the dispute and Venezuela was saved from destruction.” HILL ARRAIGNS WOOD. The ex-Senator then took up the sirb ject of Cuba, dealing first with the ad ministration of General Wood, whom he bitterly arraigned. The use of money “for partisan and lobbying purposes in aid of administrative measures, pending before Congress,” he declared, “served to emphasize the irresponsible and dangerous character of arbitrary mili tary rule anywhea, whether temporary or permanent.” “The subject,” he went on, “demands the investigation of Congress and the prominent punishment of the offending official, if he can be reached through criminal or military law. “The history of the country does not furnish a more flagrant breach of official duty, as well as official propriety, than that presented bv the misconduct of Wood. Yet he has neither been arrest ed, nor rebuked nor censured, nor called to account by the administration.” THE TARIFF QUESTION. Discussing the Cuban tariff question. Mr. Hill said the present controversy in Congress over that subject served to il- | lustrate, “the hypocrisy as well as the unsoundness of the whole Republican position in the subject of tariffs.” Proceeding on this topic, he said: “The whole Government favoritism whereby the constitutional power to tax for the purpose of providing revenue for the needs of the Federal Treasury, is improperly used to build tip one man’s 1 business at the expense of another's, by discriminating in favor of one industry as against another—is a vicious system which has long afflicted the country, and which has grown more and more intol erable with years and against whichh the Democracy has ever protested. “It is not believed that it is the prov ince of the Democrats in Congress to as sist in the consummation of any such in- ' adequate and questionable schome. “Let the injustice be wholly or sub stantially righted, not by piecemeal legislation, but by a complete and com prehensive measure based upon sound Democratic principles and along right line*. “A ’reciprocity* measure is a misnomer which does not contemplate at least fifty persent reduction of the existing tariff burdens- When the people of Cuba are asking for bread we should not offer them a stone.” Mr. Hill asserted that the logic of events had demonstrated the soundness of many Democratic contentions of re cent years. He recalled that portion of the Kansas City platform, which con demned the Dingley law- as a trust breeding and said that this measure, had not only succeeded in creating more trusts than ever before in the history of the country, but it has also succeeded in stifling competition to a gerater extent than was ever known. He declared further that it had succeeded in un necessarily raising the cost of living and had caused more strikes on the part of the working men than at any period in our histories. PLAYING WITH THE PRESS. “That there has existed for some time a popular sentiment demanding relief in some form trust extractions is quite ap parent. Acting upon the assumptation thdt the threats should be prosecuted by their friends and not their enemies, the national administration was at last con strained to institute some evil suits to test the efficacy of the Sherman act. What has been the net result a few tem porary injunctions have been obtained, with the tacit consent of the truck them selves, or at least with little or no op position, which in general terms restrain the trust from violating the Sherman act (which they expressly deny that. have violated, or are now' violating, and lit tle or nothing else has been accomplish de, and the courts will soon adjourn or nothing else has been accomplished, and the courts will soon adjourn for the summer. The business is continued and prices remain the same. It is a suffi cient commentary upon the whole pro ceedings to say that no criminal prose cution has been instituted, non arrest has been made and no indictment found anywhere. “What the people want is immediate relief from the present high prices ex torted from them. That relief can be obtained by the application of a speedy and effectual remedy in the repeal of all tariff duties upon productions controlled by the trusts.” “It has unreasonably increased public taxation for the benefit of private in terests,” he continued. “And, finally, it has promoted dangerous speculation to an extent of which the boldest business gambler never dreamed whereby millions, of worthless stocks have been unloaded upon a deceived public, upon the promise and examination of dividends which can not be earned and can never be realized, creating an alleged prosperity which might necessarily be false and fictitious; and when the bubble bursts—as ere long it surely must—it will inevitably bring disaster to the business community, and the public will have learned to their sorrow' that lesson of political economy, which teaches that a people can never become right by simply taxing them selves.” v DEMOCRATIC UNITY. Upon the subject of Democratic unity, he said: "There is substantial accord among the Democrats of the country upon all the timely issues which are now engrossing public attention. “We are all united in favor of the preservation of constitutional liberty wherever our flag floats. We are op posed to the permanent policy of this Government to the maintenance of de pendent of colonies to be governed out side of the pale of the constitution. “We are all agreed that the civil should always be superior to the military pow er. "We all concur in the principle that public taxation should be imposed for public purposes only. "We all favor freedom of commerce and therefore favor genuine reciprocity with foreign nations, but are all opposed to sham republican reciprocity which is only another name for republican hypoc risy. “There is no division of sentiment in our opposition to dangerous corporate commission of capital which create mo nopolies, stifle competition and unrea sonably enhance prices of the necessa ries oi life. “We all stand for free trade in all arti cles controlled by the trusts. “We all desire justice for Cuba and justice to the consumers of the United Slates also. “We all stand where Jackson, Banton and Tilden stood, in favor of hard money, and opposed to an irredeemable paper cur rency. “We all recognize the dignity of labor and its right to demand just and adequate compensation. “We are all opposed to an immediate standing army in times of peace.

On a very desirable resi dence street lived a well thought of fum ily. A few davs ago they were subjected to a most serious annoyance by having small rocks almost every night thrown against their door. Around these rocks were tied slips of paper on which were written messages warning the occupants that unless they moved something dread ful would happen. Complain was mad; 1 and Chief of Police Scott took the case in hand. He diagnosed the rock throwing to be done by (he wife of Mr. No One. She confessed, giving as her reason that she had resorted to this form of persua sion to get her husband to move back to Wsot Virginia where her people were, she bring lonesome so far away from home. The lady is eminently respectable, her conduct in other respects being above re proach. Last night the matter having be come bruited about, curiosity mongers w r ere rather frequent strollers along that side-walk, and being annoyed, this lady procured an electric lantern flash light and would flash it in the face 3 of passers by, declaring her intention to report them to the police.
