WASHINGTON, April 21.- An exciting en

miners. Robertson tiprang for Sinclair, aim
ing a hlow nt his face. Several conxrcic
men Intervened and held Robertson nnti
Sinclair from coming toRother. An officer
appeared on the scene, but his ocrvlccB wero
not roqulrol. as order had boon restored.
Thn encounter occurred while Sinclair was
(notifying on his order forbidding a meeting
at the miners' cemetery, July 11, Inst, com
memorating thn deaths resulting from the
riots or 1S02. Ho said his notice did not
forbid women from assembling to put
flowers ou the graves.
Attorney Robertson contradicted tho wit
iifps, nnd naked If It did not specifically pro
hibit from aiscmbllng.
"Do you ntik that as a question, or stato
It as n fact?" said Sinclair.
"I state It as a fact," replied Robcrtuon.
"It Is a lie," res-ponded Sinclair.
Robertson mado a lunge at Sinclair, but
tho distance was too' great to permit a blow.
Representatives Sulzcr, Hay, Ksch nnd other
members sprang forward to stop tho fracas.
In tho fow minutes that tho moleo was at
ltfl height, members were standing on nnd
Jumping over tho lnrge committee table,
seeking to get at tc contestants. Tho latter
wcrn in a confused tanglo of chnlru and
wllncrscs on tho further sldo of tho table.
After Robertson's first lungo ho rushed on
Sinclair, who wna sitting In the witness
seat, unprepared for tho onslaught. Tho two
went over In a, crash on tho floor nnd wero
then trparnttd. N'o actual blows wero
struck.
Sinclair resumed his seat In tho wit news
chnlr and after vigorous cautionary remarks
toy tho chairman against such disorders re
nown! his recital.
Sinclair completed Jils direct testimony
during tho afternoon. In vlaw of tho ex
citement It wns deemed bcBt not to open .tho
crosa-exnmlnntlon, which will bo conducted
by Robertson, and tha commlttoo adjourned
until 10 n. in., Sinclair left tha comraltteo

INDEMNITY FOR FOREIGNERS
Committee Will Report Knvornlily on

WASHINGTON, April 21. The Judiciary
commlttco of the house today directed a
favorable report on the bill providing means
of Indemnifying foreigners Injured In per
son or property through mob violence or
otherwise In this country. Tho measuro
grows out of tho lynching of Italians In
Louisiana and the representations made by
Italy through Ilaron Fava. tho Italian nm
bassador. As affairs of this kind were of
frequent ocurrence, each time threatening
diplomatic complications, tho president rec
ommended n general measure of redress and
tho bill now reported seeks to carry out
this recommendation. The text of tho bill
as finally adopted Is as follows:
"That any subject or citizen of n foreign
stato claiming of tho United States, under
a treaty upon tho principles of International
law Indemnity for Injury to person or prop
erty, may bring suit Upon such claim In the
court of claims. .Such sections and provi
sions of chapter 353 of the acts of 1S87 ns.
are applicable to tho court of claims shall
apply to nnd govern the Initiation of such
suits and all subsequent proceedings therein.
"Provided, that tho provisions of this
act shall apply only to tho citizens or sub
jects of thoso foreign states nccordlng like
rights nnd privileges to the citizens of the
United States. And, provided further, that
no suit shall bo brought after the expiration
of two years from tho accruing of such
claims or causo of nctlon.
"And provided further, that It Bhnll be a
defense to such suit that tho plaintiff has
made his domicile In the United States for
more than n year continuously prior to tho
accruing of such alleged claim or causo of
action."
In case tho bill becomeA a law It Is under
stood that its provisions will cover cases
arising one year prior to the enactment,
which probably would Include the last
Italian affair In Louisiana,

COLUMBUS, O., April 21. Republicans nt
the statu convention made n great adminis
tration demonstration here today. Usually
there Is only ono keynote speech, that of tho
temporary chairman, but thcro 'were two 13
Cay nnd the one that caused more comment
than any other convention speech In tho
history of tho Ohio republicans was by
Senator llanna.
It was very much of a Hanna day without
dissenting or discordant notes. The senator
arrived early In tho morning nnd was en
gaged nil forenoon In receiving visitors.
Several delegations called on him In n body
and ho responded In speeches. At tho dis
trict meeting In tho afternoon his frlcnc's
v;cro selected on the now state commlttou
and on other committees. Thcro wero sharp
contests In tho committees, but they wero
mostly between so-colled preferences.
What Senator Hanna entered tho conven
tion hall there was n great demonstration
and ho was forced to bow his acknowledg
ments from tho platform.
Robert M. Novfn was Introduced as the
temporary chairman and he made a decisive
hit In his forcible delivery nnd especially
In the peculiar emphasis hu put on thy
words "as nn admiral," In referring to
Dew ey.
In response to tho repeated calls Senator
Hanna kept shaking his head. During the
day ho was worn out by visitors and had to
keep his scat while shaking hands nt tho
hotel with those who kept passing by to
greet him.
I)ctcrmlii"l to llcnr 1 1 mi nil .
Tho delegates would not listen to the call
for business until he responded, nnd the
galleries Joined loudly In tho calls for him
till Senator Hanna rose nnd spoke. Ho
said:
I am sorry that I lmvo not the strength
nor the voice to comply with your request
and therefore I rise only to express my
feelings of grntlllcatlon tit this kind re
ception nnd to echo tho sentiments ex
pressed by your chairman, thnt tills con
vention Is a subject of congratulation to
the republicans of Ohio (applause), lioth ns
n representative body nnd In carrying out
the spirit of the hour by the expression of
good cheor nnd good sentiment on every
side. It augurs well for the republican
party when wo tlnd gathered together such
a personnel lllled with tbo kind of spirit
that is manifest on all sides In Columbus
today.
As your chairman has said, the republic
ans of Ohio nnd the republicans of the
Vnlted States are confronted todny with
many new propositions and Issues thrown
nround us like tangled grans In our path
way by tho democratic party in attempting
to raise new Issues upon every move of
policy made by tho government, seeking
some lpsue, some opportunity to manifest
their opposition to tho policy of tho re
publican party.
Iti-ntiblloini Spirit of FcnrleNNiiess.
I say tho spirit of tho hour is ono of
absolute fearlessness on tho part of re
publicans. Wo nre conscious, ns your chalr
mnn said, of having fulfilled every promise.
Wo took this country Into our hands nnd
under our enre It has passed through four
years of tho greatest vicissitudes which wo
havo ever known In history. At our con
vention In St. JjouIs we announced the pol
icy nnd the doctrine of tho republican pnrty
upon which had been bullded tho material
Interests of tho country for twenty odd
yenr.i. Wo promised such reforms nnd
oconomlo measures as Avould rrroUice ma
terial bcnoflts and wo wenffarther nift! said
thut wo will go beyond oven'1 tbo Ideals of.
our fathers In tho'gre'at results which must
eomo from tho pcrpetuntlou of such n'
policy,
Tho best evidence of tho success of thnt
policy Is In what wo hnvo accomplished
nnd achieved ns nffectlng the mntcrlnl In
terests of this country. Your chnlrmnn
mado some statements with reference to
tho growth of our export Undo. Why. ho
did not state half of it. The balance of net
trnde In fnvor of tho United Stntes during
tho Inst century preceding this ndmlnUtru
tlon amounted to $311,000,000. In 100 years
thut wns tho net balance to tho credit of
tho United States in our trade with th'o
world. In three years of the administration
of President Mckinley tho net balance, as
shown Uy the bonks of the United States
troasury, Is $l,100,CO0,C00 (great applause and
cries of "Good").
AeronipllNheil In Three Yours.
It Is $1,100,000,000 moro accomplished In
thnt threo years than, had heen accom
plished In 100 years preceding (moro cheer
ing). And then, looking Into the face of
such results, I repeat your chairman's
words, "Do we want to chnngo?" Do w'e
want nny different business combination for
us? Do we want any different policy for
tho American people more than building up
nnd making us the grente-t, tho richest and
the strongest nation on earth?
Tho laws of commerce, regulated hy tho
most economic measures, are as Infallible
ns tho Inws of nnturp. Wo hnvo proved to
this country nnd to tbo world that our
policy of economics Is Irresistible nnd must
succeed and In the few years of trial that
we have had under this administration wo
hnvo proved that In tho ratio of progress
every yenr, looking nhe-ad to our enormous
wealth nnd gain, that wo shall bo made
stronger nnd bo given fnr better nnd wider
opportunities to do good In tho march of
Christianlzatlon nnd civilization of tho
world.
Tho results of tho ivnr with Spain nro
not accidental. Tho destiny which hns been
written for this country must bo fulfilled In
the natural order of things'. It was but
ono step forward In tho direction of tho
duty set for us to do nnd no matter what
Influences mny bo thrown nround us to
Impede our progress It ennnot nnd will not
stop (renewed cheering).
Country' Drxtlny 'Written.
I do not caro whether you call It Im
perialism or expansion. The destiny of this
country Is written nnd nny party or com
bination of men that attempts by nny sub
terfugo or mnkeshlft In politics to stop tho
power und progress of this nation will go
down under It Just us tho democratic party
hns gono down (ronowed cheering).
Now thnt wo nro embarking In this new
policy and now that this government Is
confronted with the responsibilities which
nre open to us wo ask tho republican party
In Ohio, ns wo did four years ago, to sound
tho keynote to tbo bulanco of the union to
express Its confidence In Its great lender,
our president (more cheering), to show by
tho Interest they tnko nnd the effortH they
mnko In this cumpnlgn their conlldenco In
thnt leadership In their determination to
stnnd loyally by him and his policy (re
newed cheering). Ills courngo during nil
tho dark days of that war and many com
plications which succeeded It has never
fatted for one moment and I want to Im
prove this opportunity to say In his pres
ence thnt thcro has never been un hour, no,
not a moment, thnt be has not been In
touch with his party In Washington (ro
i newed cheering).
The consciousness that bo Is nrnnnred for
nnd meeting every dllilculty, determined to
no wnai seems uesi ana rignt for tne pco
plo in our insular possessions, nt tho Himn
tlnio maintaining tho dignity and iirestlgo
of our own country und protecting our
labor nnd our Industries that feeling that
no is qoing rigni nns ename-d him to call
to his support thnt aid which nlwnys comes
to a strong lender of men, und no mutter
what collateral Issues may bo nrranged In
this coming campaign I know that tbo poo
plo of the United States feel comfortnblo
nnd confident when they know thnt Wil
liam McKlnley Is at tho wheel (tromondous
cheering).
As soon as order was restored Chairman
Nevln read a telegram from Senator For
nker saying It was impossible for him to
leave Washington.
After announcing that all the committees
would bo expected to completo tholr Tvork
tonight tno convention adjourned to lp a.
