s nrc Vol. VIII RALEIGH, N. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1902 Post. SOLID ROCK GANAL Advantages of the San Bias Route Sedition Statutes in .the Philippines V,'ahington, Feb. 6. In the Senate, tohiy Senator Scott of West Virginia .ailed up and had read a resolution which he offered sevcraldays ago pro- i-li'iig for the appointment of a com mission -of experts to examine what is known as the San Bias or Alandhigo '.;i.v route for an isthmian . waterway. Me :i'u that, after a thorough investi gation he was convinced that the San 1 his route met practically every require ment of the proposed waterway, but :; :uiso the adoption of that route in-v.v.-d the driving of a tunnel through granite of a mountain rangje sutn , ;. ntiy large to admit of the passage of . ny s'iiip afloat the route had been re iMiiktl as impracticable. Mr. Scott explained that the San Bias ; utc connected the two oceans from ho imy vf Alandingo on the Atlantic .;.( to Pearl Island harbor, in the Unit of Panama, on the Pacific side of the lrh::m. Including the five-mile tunnel th,- canal would be thirty miles long. 'lw said that the harbors of the San Bias route had excited the enthusiasm ,-.f all engineers wh- had investigated i iipin. The route, he said. oiTered great natural J ;.r,d commercial advantages. : the following reasons. Mr. Scott I Sieved that the San Bias route was rhf only feasible and practicable sea-ii-vel canal route: 1. Its healthy location. J. Irs shortness. :;. Its magnificent harbors. 4. Its total absence of lock?. r.. The possibility of working gangs of men nidit and day. in the wet and dry . as.uis. under good sanitary conditions. The very important consideration r-int by this route, and no other, s:ilir:ig ..--.e's rould be towed by electric iwev. v nidit as by day, thus effecting a ui-par saving of time and expense. 7. The economical maintenance of the, anal when completed. A s. The permanency of its rock bed and the absence of earth embankment. Tho desirable fact that it can be tnnsTrueted within, three, and at most, five years.

Mr. Hoar, in reply to a question by Mr. Foraker, said that he did not ap prove of the Unifed States Statute re ferred to. He thought it a harsh one. Bnt the circumstances in the two cases were different, e characterized the Philippine statute as harsh, cruel and reprehensible. Mr. Foraker said that. Mr. Hoars differentiation of the two statutes was that in the one case there was' no likelihood of any necessity for its en- forcement, wnne in tne otner case tuero was a condition of actual war.

Mr. Hoar reminded Mr. Foraker of Car win's declaration in the Senate chamber, in a debate on the Mexican War. that if he were 'a Mexican he would welcome the Americans with bloody i , - hosnitable sri-aves. and he ask-' ed whether the .memory -of Air.

' Air. Clay of Georgia called Air. Fora ker's attention to a speech made by- him while the peace treaty was pentl- ing. in which he disclaimed for himself and the Republican party, and the President, any purpose to retain oc cupation of the Philippine Islands. Air. Foraker said that that was a good speech ahd was true at the time it was made: but that no one could tell then what the future might bring forth. Ooing back to the discussion of the Philippine statute, Air. Foraker8 said that it was. an emergency statute, a statute in recognition of belligerent con- ditions. a statute passed to aid the au- thorities in the suppression of insur- rectiou and rebellion. It was not an uaheard of statute. It was just such a statute- as was in force in the United States during each of its wars. Air. Hoar asked Air. Foraker face tiously whether the , speech made by him, as quoted by Air. Clay, would , not have made him liable to tne penal- ties of the Philippine act. "If it would," Air. Foraker replied ' tu coma cn!rif "tha SonoMi. -fr-. Alassachusetts has made speeches for vr,M.i,COHa t,o o-u r.0 which he was liable to be hanged long ago." "Leave me out of that hanging coterie." Air. Tillman broke in. "Well," said Air. JForaker, "if you are really anxious to be hanged, per haps you can toe accommodated." (Laughter.) Mr. Foraker, having yielded to Air. Bacon for a question or statement, the latter Senator was proceeding with his remarks, but was speedily called to or- der by the presiding officer (Mr. Pettus 1 of Alabama in the chair.) Air.

('.Angered by the criti cism that -he ought to be ousted from leadership because he cannot command a campaign fund. Air. Bryan retorts.in The Commoner: 'It was not because the people feared free silver or loved imperialism tlat the Democratic party was defeated in lNJMJ and :U00, but because the last Demo cratic administration was undemocratic and sold out to the syndicates in ex change for a campaign fund. The sub serviency of the Cleveland administra tion brought an-odium upon the party that was the main cause. In 1S9G, when the party invited the people to follow the Democratic banner, it had to meet the opposition of repudiation Democrats as well as the hostility of those who blamed the party for the sins of an un democratic administration. -In 1900 the Republicans contrasted the improved conditions which existed under a Republican administration with the conditions that existed under Air. Cleveland's administration, and this ar gument had weight with those who did not investigate. I 'Senator Jones acted in the interest of the Demdcratic party when he .re fused to make terms with the element that controlled the government under Mr. Cleveland's administration. He! saved the organization from disgrace, even if he did not save it from defeat. The Democratic party can better afford to run its 'campaigns entirely without money than to borrow of those who loan only on condition that their money shall be returned with usurious interest out of the pockets of the people." Mr. Bryan makes no concealment of his intention to fight Hill. He says: "An agent represents that one Demo crat refused to subscribe for The Com moner because he had read in some paper that Air. Bryan had gone over to tho Gold Bugs and was booming Hill for President. If the aforesaid Democrat read The Commoner he could not be de ceived by such absurd rumors. Those who take this paper know that the editor neither has boomed, or is booming, or tifll boom any one for the Democratic nomination who was against the party in 189 or even doubtful." . .. !

The Charlotte postmastership may result in a lively political fight. Senator Pritch ard received a number of telegrams to day urging him to use his efforts to have J. W. Aiullen's nomination confirmed. Alessages have also been received from prospective candidates who want a hear ing in the event that the Senate re fuses to confirm Alullou's nomiaatiou. S. II. Buchanan, who is here, wants to be director of the mint, but he says the Charlotte postoffice will please' him equally as well. Senator Simmons has not yet received the charges, which ex-Congressman Bower promised to prefer against T. F. Seahorn, who was appointed post master at Lenoir. It has been a week since Senator Simmons held up Sea horn's confirmation at Bower's request, and unless the charges reach here by to morrow he will not interpose further objection. Senator Simmons will bring up the Winston public building bill in the Sen ate tomorrow. t He could not bring the matter up today as he expected, because of the precedence of otheT calendar bills. Gen. Woodford Will Not Dispute with Chandler But He Submits a Few Re marks to Explain His Position Xew York, Feb. G Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, who was Alinister of the United States at theiSpanish court prior to the outbreak of the war of 1897, was asked today whether he would reply to the charge made by ex-Senator Wil liam E. Chandler, that he was responsible- for the war because he never asked Spain to give freedom to Cuba, and oa the contrary tried, without instructions, to buy Cuba for the United States. In reply General Woodford sail: 'I have no idea that the public will be interested in this matter of ancient history. If so, the simple answer is: It is true I never demanded independ ence. It was absolutely impossible to do so. It would have resulted in my being ordered away within twenty-four hours and have precipitated the war sooner than it came. I never had any instruction to demand independence. The only thing looking to it was a sugges tion of the President for my own guid ance. I answered that the independenen of Cuba was. under the Spanish consti tution, impossible without prior sanction Professor Pearson to Walk the Planfc Chicago, Feb. O. Prof. Charles W. Feanson will be asked to resign from the faculty of Northwestern University, the Tribune says, if the report of the committee appointed to investigate his case is accepted by the executive com mittee of the board of trustees.' The decision was reached, according to the Tribune, after a two hour's ses sion behind closed doors last night, at which the communication written by the Professor Tuesday was read and the case reviewed. The members of the examining com mittee are Dr. Daniel Bonbrigh, act ing president of the University; Dr. Robt. D. Sheppard, business agent, and AI. II.

Some of the resi dents of Savannah appear to have made up their minds never to forgive Presi dent Roosevelt for inviting Booker T. Washington to dinner last October. The latest incident showing that the memo ry of this occasion jis still kept green came last night at the annual meeting of the Georgia Society Sous of the Rev olution, and it has been widely discuss ed, throughout the city today. Officers of the society had been "chosen for the coming year and other matters were given attention. The time came to elect five delegates to the general council of the Sons of the Revolution to meet at Washington next April: A letter was read from the General Secretary of the organiation, suggesting that as Presi dent Roosevelt was in Washington and a member of the Georgia .Society Sons of the Revolution, it might be a pret if i m Strongly Congressman W.

( Jeneral Woodford has no idea of being drawn into a dispute over the matter at this time. tributions from members of the Aletho dist church, and that he should seek a chair in some liberal institution where he would be at liberty to preach any doctrine he might desire. For these reasons the conclusion is drawn that the University trustees ask Prof. Pearson to resign. Prof. Pearson, when informed of the verdict of the trial bo-aril, declined to discuss the matter. . On previous occasions, however, the Professor has declared that he would accept the verdict of the trustees witn out a murmur. lie said further that he would not stay where he was not wanted. Prof. Pearson was not asked to at- 'tend the meeting and did not know one had been held until it was over. The executive committee of the board of trustees will meet next week.
