A HEATED DEBATE
IH THE SENATE OH THE PHILIP
PINE QUESTION.
THE REPUBLICANS AROUSED
At the Attack of tle Democrats.
For the First Time they Enter
Folly Into the Discussion The
Chief I'olnt Ilelns the Proposed
Ilecall of Major Gardner to Testify
Ilefore the Senate Committee.
House Adopts Resolutions on the
Death of Hon. Amos J. Cummins.
Washington. May 3. Discussion of
the Philippine question became heated
in the senate today. Thus far the mi
nority party has had a clear field in
the debate, the policy of the majority
being to permit the criticism of the
democratic members of, the body to pro
ceed without interruption.
Today it was different. Senators
Spooner, of Wisconsin; Lodge, Massa
chusetts, and Foraker, of Ohio, became
aroused. They spoke in defense of the
administration and of the army and
they spoke hotly, almost unrestrainedly.
The result was one of the most spirit
ed debates that yet has occurred on the
Philippine question. While the debate
took a wide range It revolved around
the resolution calling for Major Corne
lius Gardener, in the Philippines, to ap
pear as soon as possible before the Phil
ippine commmittee as a witness. A ca
blegram from General Chaffee was read
by Senator Lodge, saying that it was
impracticable for Gardener to leave the
islands at present, as he was an essen
tial figure on a committee which was
investigating the conditions of the pro
vince of which he was provincial gov
ernor. The reading of the cablegram called
out a sharp attack upon army methods
by Senator Rawlings, of Utah, who in
sisted that Gardener ought to come to
Washington immediately. In the course
of his remarks. Senator Rawlings made
some severe strictures upon General
Chaffee.
Senator Rawlins, of Utah, said it was
evident that Major Gardener thought
the investigation to be made of his
charges was in unfriendly hands. He
said the bias of General Chaffee, as
shown in his cablegram to the war de
partment, was manifest. That cable
gram indicated that Major Gardener
was reluctant to submit himself to an
investigation by officers who had been
the subpect of his criticism. He sym
pathized with the motives of the Wash
ington officials that the charges should
be fully investigated; but he held that
some tribunal ought to be selected to
make the investigation without possi
bility of the charge of partiality.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, said
the observations of Senator Rawlins
were quite characteristic of the action
of the democrats in the course of this
debat?. He had read carefully the tel
egram from General Chaffee and had
discovered nothing indicating a bias on
his part.
"The senator fromsUtah", continued
Senator Spooner. "seems to be blinded
with suspicion of the army and of al
most everybody charged with any re
sponsibility in the Philippines."
It seemed to him that there was a too
great willingness on the part of the
minority to impeach the whole Amer
ican army. He denied emphatically
that the officers constituting the board
of inquiry were those who had served
in the province of which Major Garden
er was governor.
In the senate of the United States, of
all places, said he, the effort ought noc
to be made to besmirch the reputation
and the honor of the army. Outrages
probably had been committed in isolat
ed instances in the Philippines. He
condoned no outrages of any kind. All
charges officially made of such outrages
would be investigated thoroughly and
undoubtedly the guilty would be pun
ished. The complaint of the minority
seemed to be, said he, that the secre
tary of war had not given Major Gard
ener's charges immediately upon their
reception to the Associated Press ior
wide dissemination.
He was interrupted by Senator Car
mack, of Tennessee, who said the com
plaint was that the charges had not
been furnished to the Philippine com
mittee. "That is." said Senator Spooner. "that
they had not been made nubile
"We have heard nothing from the
minority," declared Senator Spooner,
"except suppression, suppression, sup
pression, and yet every possible effort
Is being made by the department to as
certain the facts and to punish the
guilty."
Senator Foraker defended Governor
Taft against the charge that he had
withheld Major Gardener's report.
"The record." he said, "shows conclu
sively that such a statement is not war
ranted." Senator Lodge said it "was perfectly
monstrous to bring Major Gardener
here and allow him to make his accu
sations in a committee room - of the
senate when the officers, against whom
he makes them are thousands of. miles
away in the Philippines. He added that
he considered it incompetent to dissolve
a military board of inquiry by a resolu
tion of the senate.
With this latter remark Senator Mor
gan said he agreed.
Replying to "the republican senators.
Senator Rawlins said he did not want
to besmirch the army, but he did want
a full inquiry to develop the guilty and
have them punished while the innocent
may be exonorated. He said the minor
ity were "met everywhere with objec
tions and obstruction."
"I call the senator from Utah to or
der," said Senator Lodge. "No senator
has a right to charge any other senator
with obstruction."
Senator Rawlins referred to the case
of Private Riley ard quoted the secre
tary of war as saying in connection
with it that private soldiers are inclined
to "draw the long bow," In writing
home of occurrences in the Philippines,
which he said was itself a severe re
flection on the army. Contrary to the
secretary's statement, he said the
charges of the privates had been sus
tained. Senator Lodge "The Riley case is
the only one that has been sustained."
Senator Rawlins "The Riley case is
the only one that has been fully investi
gated." Without replying Senator Lodge gave
notice of a speech next Monday.
After some further discussion the sen
ate without action on the resolution,
adjourned as a mark of respect to the
memory of the late Amos J. Cummings.
House of Representatives.
The death of Representative Amos J.
Cummlngs, of New York, In Baltimore
last night cauttd general regret and
sorrow in the house today. Above the
hall the flag fluttered at half mast and
on the floor the old familiar desk on
the centre aisle near the front row,
which Mr. Cummings occupied for so
many years, was draped in black and
covered with a profusion of purple
orchids and spring flowers.
Mr. Payne, floor leader of the ma
jority, announced Mr. Cummings' death
and offered resolutions providing for a
funeral service in the house on Sun
day. The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and the speaker announced
the appointment of the committee to
attend the funeral.
At 12:15 o'clock the speaker as a fur
ther mark of respect declared the house
adjourned
THE CLARK-RUSSELL LETTERS.
The Latter's OfTer to Have Them
Published if the Judge So desires.
(Special to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, May 3. It 13 learned that to
day ex-Governor Russell sent to Judge
Walter Clark copies of the much
talked of letters from Clark to Russell
and wrote Clark that the latter could
publish them if he saw fit; that he
(Russell) was averse to publishing
them on the call made In W. P. Batche
lor's letter, because he did not know
whether Batchelor was authorized to
speak for Clark. Rus3ell said further
that if it were desired he would publish
the letters himself, holding the origi
nals and allowing these to be compared
with the copies.
Rumor was current today that a ne
gro named Perry outraged a white wo
man named Hagwood in this county,
twenty miles rorthwest of Raleigh,
and was arrested last night and lynch
ed while being brought here. The
sheriff had no news of it, and thinks
the rumor unfounded.

Some raiway people say this rumor is
unfounded. Tiaffic manager W. H.

TWO CREAT RACES
METROPOLITAN HANDICAP MID
KENTUCKY DERBY.
ARSENAL AND ALAN A. DALE
The Winners of the Big Purses.
Thirty Thousand People Witness
the 'Former Win Out by Half at
Length, Under Whip and Spur
Vigorously Applied The VIetoj at
Louisville W'ns With Great Ease.
High Oalclal und Social Ranks of
the State Represented at this Rac?.
New York, May 3. Out of a field cf
twenty horses the first eighth of a mile
of the Metropolitan handicap at Morris
park today, raced Arsenal, son of the
famous .sprinter Lamplighter, to a lead
which he held to the wire and victory,
with its . reward of 58,970. He was
desperately pressed by Herbert, Car
buncle, Chilton and Smoke and finish
ed under whip and spur vigorously
placed by Johnny Daly, with scarce
strength enoueh to have'' gone ano;her
dozen leaps at the killing pace of the
race.
It wa3 a sterling race, fairly started,
gamely conteoted for every inch of the
mile and spectacularly finished.
Twenty to one was laid against
Arsenal, and his splendid victory was
a popular one. Jockey Daly was pa
raded in front of the grand stand
perched nigh on the shoulders of a trio
of admirers, and Arthur Featherstone,
owner of the v'ctor, wa3 enthusiasti
cally congratulated by his friends.
The great crowd that filled the stand,
betting ring, paddock, lawns and club
house was not demonstrative although
the sensational finish brought a volley
of cheers. A drizzling rain had fallen
at intervals during the afternoon and
the crowd was chilled. The rain mado
a heavy track and brought" free
scratching by owners timid about risk
ing their thoroughbreds la mud. "Water
Color, the early morning favorite, was
withdrawn, and with his went Heno,
Far Rockaway, Whiskey King, Old En
gland, Saturday and Smart Set. The
withdrawal of Water Color and Heno
somewhat dulied interest in the con
test and the crowd was hardly pre
pared for the op:rited race.
Rain and the general cheerfulness of
the day were apparently without effect
upon the attendance, and fully 30,000
persons were en the course when thi
handicap candidates were sent away.
Frank Farrell's entries, Bonnibert and
Colonel Padden, were the favorites In
the betting and the quotai'.on on them
was 5 to 1. Herbert, who ran true to
form, was second choice and the money
on him was placed at 5 and 5 to 2. Roe
Hampton was third choice and the fig
ures on him were 6 and 5 to 2. The oth -
ers varied from 10 to 150 to 1, the price
of Carbuncle, who ran third being 20 to
1 and 6 to 1. There were tips out on
every horse in the race and the balance
so even that the money was widely dis
tributed. There was a heavy play, but
betting on Arsenal, the winner, was
rather light.
The start was a fair one. Kamara
was the first away, with His Eminence
second. Smoke third and the others
close up. Before the first eighth had
been covered Arsenal had bounded for
ward into the front rank and at the
post he was leading with a gap of a
length and a half behind him. Down
the back stretch Smoke and Reina
worked up and claimed second and third
places respectively.
The positions of the leaders was main
tained to the first turn and beyond it
toward the second. At the turn Into
the stretch Odom on Herbert began to
make his ride that finally landed him
In second place with a chance of first.
Arsenal wavered fifty yards from the
wire and up in the stand fifty voices
cried Its Herbert", but the Feather
stone horse held his way under Daly,
and had Herbert by half a length when
they raced under the wire. Carbuncle
was close behind with Smoke on his
side and Hilton just behind. Bonnibert
and Colonel PaCden, the favorit?, were
tenth and eleverth respectively. -The
Kentucky Derby.
Louisville, May 3. Tc the cheers of
thousands Alan A. Dale, the son of
Halma, the latter himself w inner of the
'95 Derby, this afternoon passed under
the iwire winner of the twenty-eighth
Kentucky Derby.
The out pour Lag of the people, such as
always characterizes a Derby, was one
of the features of today's big event
The society of the entire, state was
represented. Governor Beckham and
his staff were in attedance, as were
public official from adjoining states.
After several attempts to start spoil
ed by Abe Frank, who was a little
over-anxious, they were sent away on
comparatively even terms, with Alan
A. Dale a neck lu front of Abe Frank,
The Rival third and Inventor last.
Around the lower turn they shot with
the chestnut ton of Halma still show
ing the way; , , v
"Alan will T-ln; he will make a run "
away race of It," yelled an admirer,
and. true to t. prediction, the gap was
gradually lengthened down the back
stretch until WInfleld had a half dozen
lengths of daylight between his mount
and Abe Frank, the favorite. The Klval
being third and Inventor fourth. Their
positions remained apparently un
changed until they rounded the last
turn for the ttnal run into the stretch.
Coburn saw his time had come and he
went to work on the favorite, but Abo
did not have tac run In him. The race
was now bet ten the McDowell entry
and Inventor, the latter showing a
burst of speed at the finish, that for a
time seemed to threaten Alan A. Dale,
but Winfield, without whip or spur,
sent him under the wire winner by a
length, with his stable companion
fighting for s-jcend place and only a
neck behind Inventor, Abe Frank be
ing half a dozen lengths away. Cheer
after cheer greeted the colt, and Win
field rode into the cjrcle and a collar
of American Heauties was placed
around the wir.ner's neck.
tJ EH MAX I-OTASH SYXDICAT2.
Americans' Endeavor to Break Into
It Rockefeller Behind them.
Berlin, May 3. John D. Rockefeller, it
I: understood is behind the Virgiiia
Carolina Chemical Company's designs
o i the German potash fields. WUle
MesSiS. S. T. Morgan, C. D. Crenshaw
and E. C. S;utsbury"are the only Amer
icans taking part in the conferences
which cre being held daily at the Hotel
Bristol with the members of the Ger
man potash syndicate, Peter D. Bradley
and 8. F. Gibbons, representing Mr.
Rockefeller, are at the same hotel, wait
ing f;r the outcome of the negotiations
and prepared to finance the project.
Mr. Bradley in behalf of himself and
Mr. Gibbons, firmly denies that they
are here for any' such purpose, but the
potash syndicate people of Stassfurt
have been so Informed.
Messrs. Crenshaw and Sputbury,
when they approached the neads of the
syndicate several weeks ago were re
pelled. After the Americans had ac
quired options on several outside works,
indicating a serious purpose to break
into the industry, the members of the
syndicate Invited them to come to
Stassfurt again.
Mr. Morgan wired Thursday to the
syndicate members, saying that if they
wanted to see him they must corne to
Berlin. Two members of the syndicate
appeared yesterday and had a long talk
with him. The indications are that the
syndicate be broken up at the ter
mination of the present agreement in
1905. The ownership of the syndicate
properties is widely distributed and
buying control of the properties is like
ly to require months and capital ex
ceeding $50,000,000. The only thing which
may cause the Americans' withdrawal
from the attempt is that some of the
properties operated by' the "syndicate
belong to the Prussian treasury, which
is also the owner of large unworked
properties. The Americans must secure
a lease of these for long terms if they
wish to dominate the industry.

a story that w irrants had be- a !su-J
for the arrest cf one or more icrorn

It was asserted that Justice Gcige
rich, of the surreme court, had issued
the warrants. He could not be found
to verify the statement until late to
night when he taid;
"So far as I can remember, the 4tutj.

and the quotation of the affidavit is
correct, though it must be remembered
that I have a great many papers ta

they contain.
"I remember an order of arrest wa9
tssued in a civil action upon various
affiidavits charring false and fraudu
lent representations as to the value of
a certain stock or stocks. It was
charged in one of the allegations of tho
complaint, to use the language of
the affidavit, that 'wash sales had been
made. which gave a fictitious value ta
the stock. The order of arrest w.is
made only for one man, although I haI
signed four. Lawyer Brown, howevet,
only wanted one man arrested and Inur.

Justice Gelg'.-ich said in conclusion
that he was not able to positively say

Up to a late hour tonight no arrcsr
