WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Formal discus
sion of the right of former Senator Quay to
n seat In tbo senate an n member from
Pennsylvania was begun todny by Turloy of
Tennessee. He presented n constitutional
nrgumeut against tno seating of Quay, which
was given eloso attention by his colleagues.
Ho will concludo his wpeeeh tomorrow.
Consideration of tho Hawaiian government
bill brought out a lively discussion hotwecn
Tillman of South Carolina and Spoonor of
Wisconsin, in which tho former admitted
that ballot boxes had been stuffed and
negroes hud been shot down In tho south to
maintain whlto domination.
An amendment was made to the bill,
striking out tbo property qualification of
voters for members of tbo legislature, but
little other progress whs made.
Tillman argued that bis amendment sub
stituting the suffrage provisions of tho con
stitution of South Carolina wus In all senses
a bettor provision than that offered by tho
committee. TlUtmut suld the people of South
Carolina, In their constitution, havo done
their level best to provent tho negroes from
voting. "What I now nsk you to do,'' he
nald, "Is to glvo the Kanakas and Portu
guese of tbu Hawaiian Islands the same
rower of Huffrugo ux wo In South Carolina
have given tho niggers."
Wnvl.iK I lie lllootly Shirt.
In reply to a question of Spoonur, Tillman
i-ald thut tho $200 property qualification had
been put into tho South Carolina constitu
tion for tho 'benefit of tbo negro.
"No piovlsion was needed for tho whites,"
snld Tillman, "because tho whites would get
through anyhow. Wo huvo Bomo conscience
in tho south as to treatment of tho nigger,"
In a brief, temperato speech, Spooncr
deprecuted a discussion at tills time of tbo
racial question, which had been precipitated
by Tillman.
Adverting to thu pending amendment of
Mr. Cullom Mr. Spooner said:
"I don't HUo a property qualification for
voters. There Is something of reason In on
educational qualification, but manhood suf
frage Is one thing and dollur auffrago Is
qulto another. I do not know whot may bo
dono by congress with tho islands ncqulrcd,
but us to tho islandn of Hawaii, thero nro
men there who can rend nnd write, and I will
not vote for a proposition to exclude the
voto of any man because ho has not n prop- i
erty qualification."
Ho then appealed to Tillman to lay asldo ,
the bloody shirt.
Tillman replied that his only reason for
rehabilitating tho bloody shirt beforo it was
finally and Irrevocably laid to rest was that
he wanted the position of the southern peo
ple to bo understood. Ho wns tired of tho
taunts and sneers at the southern people.
After declaring that In every southern state
except South Carolina tho "niggers" held
the bnlnnco of power. Ho added
"As such they stand there as a menace to
a puro suffrage and to good government be
cause they nre a purchasable quantity, edu
cated or uneducated."
AilmltH llnllot lint SIlllllllK.
"Wo are charged with fraud and corrup
tion and ballot box stulllug. Finally, after
tbo bayonets had come tn us again In 1S76,
wo roso in righteousness and might. Wo
took tho government, wo stuffed ballot boxes,
wo bulldozed the niggers und we shot 'cm.
And wo aro not ashamed of It
Leaning over toward Mr. Spooner and
shaking his linger at htm, Mr. Tillman said:
"What would you have done? You would
havo dono tho sanio thing, 1 seo It In your
eyes," (Laughter)
Tho amendment offered by Cullom was
finally adopted. So, too, was the amendment
of Piatt of Connecticut, which has been
pending for several dnys, relating tn the
appointment and tenure of the olllces of tho
Judges of tho Hawaiian courts.
After the bill hnd bom further umended
Rutler of North Carolina offered an amend
ment restoring to Hawaii tho postal savings
bank system.
Tho umoudmcnt wan, supiortcd by llutler
and by Mason of Illinois, tho latter declar
ing this was the only civilized country In the
world which did not rccoho Imms from tbo
poor pcoplo of tho country the only gov
ernment which was absolutely dominated by
tho banks.
Mr. Allison submitted that It would bo

After giving a resume of the existing con

the industrial condition I can suggest Is tho
opening of markets for accumulated surplus
of productions and tho establishment of

called on tho president nt tho Whlto House.
After the eonferenco adjourned at 11
o'clock Chairman Cannon gavo out the fol
lowing statement of the nmendincnts agreed
upon by tho conference:
"Tho conference requested tho ways and
means committee to offer an amendment to
tho 'bill ns follows:
"Amend tho title to make It an act
temporarily to provide revenue for the Island
of Porto Hlca and for other purposes, and
to add the following: "This act shall be
taken nnd held to be provisional In Its pur- j
pose Intended to meet a pressing present ,
need for revenue for tho Island of Porto j
HIco, and Is not to continue lit force after
March 1, 1S'.J. "
These amendments were adopted with
practical unanimity. Another to reduce the
duty Imposed by the art from 25 to 15 per
cent was adopted by n voto of 103 to 11.
A further amendment Is to bo olfercd by
tho ways nnd means commlttco to make It
clear that no double duty Is imposed; thnt
tho i.aymcnt of ono Internal revenue tax Is
thu total tax on importations.
I'hiic Offer Two Amcnilmt'iitN.
The republican members of tbo ways and
means committee, with Speaker Henderson,
remained at the capltol, cunvanslng tho
Hltuntlon during the Interim between the
adjournment of the houso nt 5 o'clock and j
tho assembling of tho eonferenco at
o'clock. Chairman Cunnon presided over
the caucus. ,
As soon ns it bad been called to order
Payne of New York, tho lloor leader, sub
mitted two amendments, which, he said, the
ways and means commlttco was prepared
to offor to tho bill. Ono of them changed
the title of the measure to make it a bill
for temporarily raising revenue for Porto
HIco. The other added a new section to
the bill, limiting its operation to March 1,
1902, unleus sooner repealed.
General Shattuc of Ohio opened tho pro
ceedings with a plain statement to the
effect that ho was willing to defer his own
opinion In this matter to the w lubes of tbo
president, although he was convinced that
his constituents favored freo trade with
Porto HIco, He demanded to know, how
ever, nnd he wanted no equivocation about
It, whether tho president believed tho bill
was constitutional and whether he favored
the measure If ho did not, Shattuc an
nounced that ho would uot be bound by
tho action of the caucus.
This brought Payne, to hie feet. Ho sold
he hod seen tho president thl nfternoon
nnd he announced cmphotlcal'v that the
president 'was convinced that tho bill was
constitutional and that ho would sign the
bill. Corliss of Michigan backed up the
statement.
lllll on I'.nicrKCiicy Mcn.iirc.
Grow of Pennsylvania, the venerable ex
speaker of the house, said that tho amend

tion of constitutionality ought not to bo
raised, and Marsh of Illinois earnestly np
pcnlcd to the recalcitrants to rally around

scnslons. This drew statements from Mc
Call nnd Llttlefleld, the two lenders of tho
republican rovolt. Doth spoko In good
temper, but abated not one Jot of their In
dividual opposition to tho measure.
H. C. Smith of Michigan then offered nn
amendment to reduco the duty imposed by
tho bill from 25 to 15 per cent.
Powers of Vermont, who wus ono of the
objectorfl nnd who wns on the committee
to meet the committee of tho friends of tho
bill, then nnnounced his willingness to voto

I cratlc leader, said: "This Is a remarkublo

flnn that they have brought here a bad

Tho democrats, ho contluucd, wero nl

Jorlty." Payne smlllusly replied thnt ho opprecl
atcd tho "generosity" of the other side, and
not to be outdono In magnanimity, ho
would agree lu the con lltlons.
Huil'ttt of Gcorpla then took tho floor with
a half-hour's spech ngalnn the bill. Ho
laid dov r. ns an elementary principle of In
ternational law that whenever n country,
whcibe, empire, monarchy or republic, ac
quired territory by conquest, purohaio or

country and subject to her laws.
Williams of Illinois oppoacd tho bill, in
tho course of his remarks ho said the presi
dent and Llttlefleld were In accord with each
other on tho Porto RIcan tariff bill, and he
buggested the gentlcmau from Maine as a
I
good running mate for McKlnlcy on the bill,
"Hut he has no barrol," observed a demo
crat. "lie has a barrel of brains." retorted Wil
liams. "Would you voto for him for your vice

"If I voted tho republican ticket." replied
Williams, "1 would find some consolation
for the crime In voting for the gentleman

Is n good deal of democracy In what he
preaches."

to bo one Interested only ns an observer.
His cold intellectual face betrayed uot his
feelings in tho least.
Daly stated that he wan S years of age
nnd thnt hl business was that of mining.
Ho knew Clark and Whiteside and had
known Clark a long time. Ho lirst con
tributed to the campaign when It was or
ganized to the extent of about $1,500, later
to tho extent of $2,500. also $300 In Deer
Lodge county and $2G0 on vnrlous other
occasions. Ho had never, he said. Bought

"No. 1 did not not ono dollar," Mr. Daly
replied.
To question) by Hoar Daly said tho $7,750
which ho had contributed wns g'lven to the
campaign committee from tlmo to time In
response to circulars stating Uh needs und

(rj :
members of the state committee
vcro those who Joined him In agreeing to
prosecute this case. There wns to be a con
tribution to cover expenses for hiring law
yers, expenscH of witnesses, etc.
"How much havo you contributed thus
fnr?" osked Hoar.
"I haven't the checks," ho replied, "but
It amounts to between $20,000 and $23,000."
1 1 1 h Inierr.lN In Klci-tloim,
Faulkner then directed th Toas-exnm-Inatlon.
Tho llrst question related to Daly's
participation in tbo various local elections
in Montana. This, tho witness said, did
not extend beyond Silver How nnd Deer
Iodge counties, as his business interests
took him there mct.
Daly said ho did not know tho other
contributors to tho campaign, except thnt
he understood Clark gave $500.
Ho had given $2,500 In the Silver How
campaign and the candidates had taken
care of the rest. "That was a small con
tribution," mused Faulkner.
"Yes," answered Daly, "I was uot much
Interested." .
"Then whon you aro- Interested,"- pur
sued Faulkner, "you pull out moro freely?"
"It depends on how much I am Inter
ested," nnswered Daly.
The -wltnem preserved a smiling faco
throughout tho Investigation.
Daly said his secretary had made the ad
vances to prosecute this case und that after
being present at tho conference when the
agreement to coutrlbuto w-us mado ho told
.his secretary to advunco the sums to Camp
bell as it bocamo necessary.
o Limit on 111 AdviinccN. '
Ho did not place a limit on tho advances.
Ho had kept no personal nccount of It, but
threo or four days ago ho telegraphed from
Now York to tho bookkeeper nt Anaconda
and learned that the amount was $20,000 to
$25,000. Ho cald his promise to contribute
was after C'.nrk had nccused him and others
of a "villainous conspiracy."
Daly explained his acquaintance with
WhlteBlde, who had built a block at Uutte
for a firm In which Daly was interested.
Faulkner again took the witness over the
conversation with Corbett and Daly again
denied tbo convcrsutlon, Ho denied that
Clark's friends would be sent to tho peni
tentiary. "I hnvo not tho slightest personal feeling
against Clark or tho members of his family."
declurcd Dally, "and nny statement of that
kind Is a villainous He."
A member of the committee suggested
tbat no testimony had been given that Daly
was unfriendly to Clurk's family.
"Hut I am dealing with that chap's ques
tions," nnswered Daly, amid a roar at his
designation of Faulkner as "that chap," i
Daly declured that ho knew nothing of any I
telegram to Statu Senator Cullen beforo the
mooting of tho legislature, telling him (Cul
len) thnt ho (Daly) would be on tho train the
next day. Cullon wns then a conductor on ,
tho Northern Pacific railroad and Daly said
It was not probable that he would havo dis
cussed tho senatorial question with him, hut
ho was quite positive thnt he had never
told Cullen that nny man who voted for
Clark "would bo published us a boodler and
bribe-taker."
He romembered casually talking with Cul
len us ho passed through tho train, hut no
reference wbatovcr had been made to tho
senatorial question.
"I am auro of that," said Daly, "for I was
not sufficiently Interested In the tubject nt
tbat time."
.MiiLi-M it .SrrleN of llenlnl.,
Daly also denied authorizing the sending
of Pat Conlnn to Flathend county during the 1
statu campaign. Ho also asserted that ho
knew of no money being spent In tho legis
lature for the postage of houso bill No. 121.
"I wish you would go Into that," he ndded.
"Neither tho Anncond.i nor tho Amalga
mated Copper company spent n cent for
that purpose. I believe that Clark and hU
friends contributed as murh ns tiny nno tn
tho paisagc of that bill, as they were par- !
tlcularly Interested. Hut thnt I contributed
nnno 1 do know, and none was contributed
fnr me. Tho bills wero In tho Interest of
tho mining Industry. 1 told our friends to
stand up nnd bo counted, but thnt I would
spend no money In that direction.
Daly said ho thought Toole's estimate
of the amount of money expended In be
half of Anaconda in the capital contest in
1891 was about right. Ho had not Jiandlud
55
1 t. I. 4 lit
the money, but ho did not bollcve the amount
excoedod $360,000. He thought that lh.
companies that might bo described as sub
sidiary to the Anaconda company had given
$200,000.
Continuing the discussion of the ciplt.it
contest Daly said thnt unquestionably sonic
money hnd been sent to MUsoul.i county
to Influence tho result, but he wns sure that
no such sum had been sent there ns $350.
000 in Anaconda's Interest. He also denied
he had promised thu pcoplo of Missoula to
build a railroad In Missoula cnuuiy. Tho
witness declared that he had supported tho
democratic ticket In 1S9I, nnd that he bad
not advocated the election of Leo Mantle.
Ilolh lt. mi,! Clark llenioernl..
Asked what part of tho state of Mon
tana wus distinctly democratic, Daly
smiled and. looking at Clark while ho
pointed to himself, replied:
"Thu westorn part or the state, where I
live. Clark and I both live In that part
and that may account for Ii."
In reply to n question concerning tho
campaign of ISss. Daly gavo testimony In
conflict with Hint of Clark. He wild he
had promised nt llrst that he would not
meddle, but later he hud decided that ho
could not give Clark his support. "And."
hn added, "the majority of the people tool:
tho same view, according to the return""
"Do you remember a conversation ou
had with J. R. Toole previous to the meet
ing of tho legislature In hlch you said
you would put up $75,000 to beat Mr.
Clark?"
"I never hnd any such conversation with
Mr. Toolo or nny one else."
Daly gavo figures as to the number of
men employed by him In various parls of
the state, making a total of almost 6.000.
Ho said he had kept his checks and check
stubs for tin. Inst live years and that they
weru subject to the Inspection of the com
mittee If It desired to examine them.
Daly then complained of feeling ex
hausted on account of lllnces and he was
excused.
State Senator W. A. Clark of Madison
county was recalled to make a statement
concerning tho testimony of lien J. Fine.
Clark pronounced ns falsa tho statement
that ho bad altered the records of Madison
county.
