the thanks of congress to Rear Admiral
Wlnfteld Scott Schley "for his brave and
able conduct whllo In command of the

miral Schley should bs presented with n
sword, that bronzo modals commemora
tive of the battle of Santiago should be

"under the command of Schley during said
battle and that $10,000 bo appropriated to
meet tho requirements of the resolution."
On motion of Mr. Hale, the resolution
was rcferted to tho committee on naval
affairs.
The resolution Introduced yesterday by
Mr. Teller providing for Intervention on
tho part ot this government In behalf of
tho Doer commandant, Scheepcrs, sen
tenced to death by tho Ilrltlrh South Af
rican authorities, wan postponed Indefi
nitely, Scheepcrs already has been ex
ecuted. Mr. Teller- made a brief, but
caustic, speech on the notions of Oreat
Rrltsln In tho Boer war nnd declared tha'
If tho facts of this case were as ho un
derstood thorn, "Oreat Ilrltaln In putting
Scheepcrs to death Is guilty ot n vllo as
sassination." Tho Department of Commorco bill wan
undor consideration tho greater part of
the session, but no deflnlto progress was
"made.
llev. J. J. Dolllver of Fort Dodge,
la., father of Senator Dolllver, pro
nounced the Invocation at tho opening of
today's session of the senate.
Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts, In charge of
the rhlllpplno tariff bill, said he had been
Informed by Mr. Rawlins, In rhnrgo of the
minority's substitute, that tho oppo
nents tho measure were not prepared to
proceed with tho debate today, but would

on and after Monday he would press tho
measuro dally for consideration.
Ilnle Oppose Schley llrxiittitloii.
Mr, Mason of Illinois then offered this
joint resolution:
That tho thanks of congress be hereby
tendered to Admiral Wlntlcld Hcntt Schley
for his brnvo nnd nble conduct while In
lommnnd of the American Ileet nt tlio vic
torious battlo of Santiago.

memorating the battle of Santiago nnd dis
tribute the samo to the otllcerH and men
t ndor command of Schley during said bat
tlo of Santiago.
Mr. Mason said the resolution was prac,
tlcally Identical with that adopted In the
case of Admiral Dowcy.
"I think wo would better let this resolu
tion go over," suggested Mr. Hale, chair
man ot tho commlttoo on naval affairs,
"The matter Involved Is In controversy by
a committee."
"I do not see that It Is necessary." said
Mr, Mason, "that the resolution should go
to a committee. It Is a statement of a
historical fact which has been passed upon
by the American people. Under the rules
It can he read a second time and passed."
The chair explained that tho resolution
could not be read a second time In tho
face ot opposition which had boon made.
Mr. Hale said ho had no objection to the
second reading of tho resolution and It
was read again.
Referred to Naval Committee.
Mr. Hale then moved that the matter' be
referred to the committee on naval affairs.
To this motion Mr. Mason objected that
tho fact being known ot all men, every
senator knew precisely how he would vote
upon tt. By a viva voco voto the question
was referred to the committee- on naval
affairs. .
Mr. Teller of Colorado called up his reso
lution Introduced yesterday, providing for
the Intervention of the United States gov
ernment in behalf of commandant Schoep
ers ot the Doer army, sentenced to death
by the British South African authorities.
He explained that ho had Introduced tho
resolution bocattse his attention had been
directed to what seemed to bo a violation
ot articles 1 and v ot tho Oenova conven
tion. Sines Introducing the resolution, ho said,
bo b(1 been Informed hy the Associated
Prsss that the death sentence upon Com
mandant Schccpers had been executod last
Saturday.
Several senators, Mr. Teller ndded, had
criticised him for Introducing tho resolu
tion, although ho had been always very
careful about Introducing bills and resolu
tions relating to tho government's forolgu
relations.
Adheres to Geneva Convention.
"It is said,", continued Mr. Toller, "that
toe resolution might be offensive to tho
government of Oreat nrltnln; but If tho
Geneva convention, to which both the
United States and Oreat Britain were par
ties, means anything. It ineana that we
should intervene In such n caso as this.

Mr. Teller referred to what he said was
Great Britain's efforts to destroy two strug
gling republics and asserted that If the
truth had been told by British official re
ports more Boers had been "slaughtered"
during tho last year than had been ad
mitted by Oreat Britain to have been In
arms In tho whole of South Africa.
Without further comment Mr. Teller, In
view of the execution of Commandant
Scheepcrs, asked that the resolution be
postponed Indefinitely. It was so ordered.
Consideration of the Department of Com
merce bill was resumed, the pending
amendmont, being that offered by Mr. Pet
tus of Alabama, providing that the Depart
ment of l.nbor be not transferred to the
proposed new department. Mr. Pcttus
made a brief argument in support 6f his
amendment.
In reply Mr. Nelson, In charge of the
pending measure, said that throughout the
consideration of .the bill ho had beard no
protest against the transfer of the Depart- j
ment of Labor to tho Department nf Com-
tuerce until recently nn official of a labor
organization had objected to the transfer.
Ho wan convinced, he said, that whatever
opposition had been aroused among labor
people to tho transfer of the Department
of Labor hod been Inspired from with n the
Department of Labor Itself.
Ho maintained that It was a mistake to
Icavo the labor department without tho
jurisdiction ot an executive department.
Iliinnn Niippnrts Nelson.
Mr. Bacon ot Georgia strongly supported
Mr. Pettus' amendment, and urged that, In
the absenco of some good reason, the pro
tost entered by Samuel Gompera, president
of tho American Federation Of Labor,
against tho transfer of iho Department of
Labor to tho now department ought to be
heeded.
Mr. Hannn of Ohio said tho establishment
of the new department was In the Inter
est nf both capital and labor. He believed
tho labor Interests of the country would
not object to tho transfer of tho laborvdo
partment. Porsonally, ho believed nil bu
reaus or Independent departments ought to
bo nttached to some executive department
It had been his privilege to discuss this
subject with tho laboring men of the coun
try and ho was certain they favoted the
ponding bill. Thero was no question be-
foro tho country today, ho said, which de
manded such careful attention as tho In
dustrial development.
At 2 o'clock no one wished to discuss
the Philippine bill, nnd Mr. Hanna, con
tinuing his speech, said the time had como
when wn must expand our commerce or
restrict our production. At this point he
wns Interrupted by Mr. Hale of Maine, who
said the United States had captured nil the
foreign trado worth having nnd he Inquired
of Mr. Hanna whether ho did not reallzo
that as being a tact.
"I do not," promptly replied Mr. Hanna.
"Then tho senator and I dlsagroe," said
Mr. Halo.
Wo do," replied Mr. Hanna.
Tho record of what has been accom
plished by the Dlngley bill." continued Mr.
Hole. "Is to mo the most amazing record
ever exhibited to tho world In the absorp
tion of foreign trade. Wo have absorbed
foreign trado In the great countries that
aro competitors of ours. Wo have wasted
our energies In n dream ot what is called
'Oriental' trade, which never did and novor
will figure in comparison with tho mar
kets ot tho civilized world.
Ilon't Need New Mnrkets.
"Wo have Invaded. England, Germany,
Australia, Italy nnd Russia, and for tho
senator (Mr. Hanna) who stands as rep
rcnentntlvo of tho achievements of the
Dlngley law, to join tho ranks of men who
declare that we will be ruined If wo do
not cct additional markets for our' goods,
1b to mo a matter of surprise, We do not
need further action, nor do we need addi
tional markets."
Mr. Hanna replied that the United Statss
had not conquered tho markets of Kuropo
and tho markets of the world were yet an
unexplored flold for us. In order that the
direct attention ot tho government might
be given to the commorclal and Industrial
Interests ot tho country, commercial, in
dustrial and agricultural bodies ot the
country had domanded a bill ot the kind
pending, and ho asserted that when he
spoke of the Industrial interests ho re
ferred to capital and labor, organized and
unorganized.
Mr, Hale then offered an amendmont
transferring to tho new department the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Pending action upon thlu and other
amendments which had been offered, Mr.
Elklns, Mr. Cockrell, Mr. Money, Mr. Mar
tin, Mr. Spooncr, Mr. Hale, Mr. Hoar, Mr.
McCumber and Mr. Clay discussed-various
suggested amendments and the measure
generally. Tho senate at 4.30 p. m. went
Into executive session .and at 4:55 p. m.
adjourned until Monday.

mado tho motion to Increase tho appropria
tion for this purpose. It was resisted by

the method was Irregular, but tho members
with rural constituencies supported It and

Mr. Weeks of Michigan, who has recently

minority know of the sufferings of the sol
diers In the Philippines thero would not
have been a voto against hte Cannon
amondment yesterday.
Mr. Pierce of Tennessee said If such was
the case tho president and officers of the

luto authority in the Philippines.
Mr. Cannon In speaking of tho Manila
post said be was sorry thnt ho coutd not

got tho Philippines and w havo never
parted with an Inch 67 ground. White the

Tho discussion In tho house turned upon
slavery In the Jolo group In the Philip
pines. Mr. Gaines of Tennessee, who had
visited the group, said the United States
officers told them they could do nothing to
stop slavery because ot the treaty between
tho United States and the sultan.
Mr. Moody of Massachusetts said the
United States .authorities bad never given
countcnanco to slavery In tho Philippines.
Mr. Mercer of Nebraska, who visited tho
Islands, said slavery was decreasing. Mr.
Cochran ot Missouri declared that many tf
tho slaves were Christians, owned by Mo
hammedans. The debate gradually subsldod and the
reading ot the bill proceeded.
Mr. Hill ot Connecticut moved to Increase

scrvlco from 1217,000 to $419,000 for tho pur

Chlensto Publlshlna- tlonse firings Ont

February Mnanslnr Will
Contain of Interest.
Nn crholar In the United States has a
greater reputation as an authority on the
plays of Shakespeare than Prof. L. A.
Sherman, head of the English literature
department in the University ot Nebraska.
Not only has ho mado for himself a name
among scholars, but, what Is of even more
Importance to tho general public, has
mado his department at tho State uni
versity noteworthy among the colleges ot
tho country, ncne of which can boast ot a
better course tor the study of Shakespeare.
For nomo tittle time Prof. Sherman has
been dovotlng his spare moments In writing
a book, now at hand, bearing tbo title
"What Is Shakespeare? An Introduction
to the Great Plays." Prof. Sherman doe
not wasto any time In the Idle making of
sentences, but, after a brief and pointed
Introduction, plunges at once Into his sub
ject. Tho first play to be considered Is
"Cymbellne." In tho oourso of a hundred
pages he tells us all that Is to be known
regarding this Important play, taking It up
scene by scene In regular order. Then
follow "The Winter's Tale" and "Rnmeo
and Juliet," which are treated In the samo
way. After that he discusses the dramatic
art of "Macbeth" and follows It up with
chapters on "Shakespeare, the Man,"
"The Groupings of the Plays," "Personal
Study of the Plays," etc. The appendix,
which Is by no means the least Important
part ot the work, occupies something over
soventy pages and contains outline ques
tions on "Tho Winter's Tale," "Romeo ami
Jullot" and "Twelfth Night." Theso ques
tions will be valued most highly by stu
dents who are making a careful study of
Shakespeare. All In all, this Is a most
Important addition to the long Hat ot books
having to do with Shakespeare. Tho Mac

"Francesca Da Rlmlnl Is the title of a

The scena ot the play Is located in Italy

tlko the great Shakespearean play, tho
tragedy centers round and Involves the
heads of the families as well as the younger
members. Worn out with constant strife,
the rival dukes arrango tor a marriage
between. their children, but tho bride, wheso
wishes were not consulted, Is In love with
a younger son and brother ot the man she,

unwilling wife and tho younger brother

SHOULD NOT BE AfFLICABLE TO ISLANDS
Says , Insular Possessions Asked for
Unrestricted Inimlaratlnn and Au
thorities A arecd that It Wonld
Not Affect White l.nbor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Former Secro-
tary of State John W. Foster appeared be
fore tho senate committee on Immigration
today and spoke lu opposition to the
Chinese, exclusion bills which havo been In
troduced In congress. His remarks were
directed more particularly to tho Mitchell
or Pacific coast bill, which, ho said, was a
plain violation of our treaty with China.
Mr. Foster said our government had four
times naked China to modify exlstlug
treaties In tho interest of American citi
zens and that In every instanco China had
acceded to our Bequest. He then1 submitted
for tho consideration ot tbo committee
three propositions.
The first was that any law passed by the
present congress which cqntlnues the ex
clusion ot Chinese laborers beyond 1904
would be not only without International
authority, but would be In violation ot
treaty, stipulations. He said that during
the negotiations resulting in ths' treaty cf
1891 the United States sought to have tho
exclusion ot Chinese laborers extended to
twenty yeirs and that the Chinese govern
ment refused to make It for more than tea
years. Hn also Insisted that when the
treaty ot 1894 came to an end tho Bur-
llngamo tteaty ot 18S8 would be revlyod and
go Into forco, which treaty stipulated for
the free and unrestricted emigration of
Chinese ot all classes into the United
States. Tr.e treaty, ho said, had only been
suspended as to immigration, not abro
gated.
Slionld Not Affect Islands.
His second proposition was that tho ex
clusion laws should not be made applicable
to all our Insular possessions and said the
Hawaiian Islands presented the exact state
of affairs which was contemplated by the
American negotiators of the exclusion
treaty, when they gave the assurance that
to such a trend of affairs the oxcluslon law
would not apply when the lntorests of the
Islands asked for Chinese Immigration, and
the local authorities agreed that It would
In no way affect white labor.
Mr. Foster's third proposition was that
the existing exclusion laws and the legis
lation proposed aro tn clear disregard of
treaty stipulations. He cited th provision
ot the treaty ot 1894, which guaranteed to
all Chinese In the United States the most
favored notional treatment, and tho pro
visions of treaties with other cations guar
anteeing to then the same treatment as to
the protection of thetr persons and prop
erty as that enjoyed by native citizens.
Mr. Foster read from the remarks of
Minister Wu beforo the committee on rela
tions last session In which tie spoke of the
indignities and humiliation alleged to have
boen suffered by some of his people at the
hands of our Immigration officers.
Howard Indorses Foster.
Malar General O. O. Howard said he en
dorsed all that Mr. Foster stated. He had
come in contact wltb tbo Chinese on the
Pnelfle coast, and characterized tbe undue
diligence of Chinese Inspectors In tbe per
formance of their auties as "Among tno
Iniquities of the present execution of the
orrllmlnn law."
Mr. Powderly spoko of the matter re
ferred to by Mr. Foster, and said ho
thnuirht. it crew out of an anonymous com
munication. The case, he said, was Investi
gated and found to be without a scintilla
of truth. Mr. Powderly brougnt to ,me
committee room In custody ot a United
States marshal, two alleged Chinese mer
chants, who. he said, were fair samples of
tho "merchants," Minister Wu had re
ferred to.

forged certificates, alleging that they were
merchants and that they knew of the de
ception. Asked what disposition was to bs
mado of them, Mr. Powdetly said they
would be given a fair hearing, but that
they would ultimately bo deported.
Mr. Richard K. Campbell, a Chinese In
spector, said that in his opinion, there wero
100,000 Chinese In the United States who
were admitted on false ccrllHrntcs.
Mr. Foster contended that there were
only 93,000 Chlneso In thn United States,
but Mr. Campbvll stated that tbe depart
ment's Information was that tho Chinese
In this country numbered at least 300,000.
Tho commission will further consider the
subject next Monday.
