for Expositions m Theft.
ST. LOUIS LOAN MEETS OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Feb. J The senate took
p the urgent deficiency appropriation bill
at the banning of today's wMlon. Wlim
the amendment providing for a loan ot
$4,X,000 for tha Ft. Louis exposition wu
reached Mr. Halley resc-rvd the right to
make a point of order against It, but ba
permitted tha ruling- favorable to continue
to the end before presenting hie point.
The exposition amendment wu amended
at the instance of Mr. Culberson so a to
authorize the exhibition of range rattle at
the exposition, regardless of the fact aa
t whether thejr come from north or south
cf tha quarantine line. There was no other
amendments to tha bill, and when the first
reading was concluded Mr. Bailey formally
presented his point of order, which waa
that tha proposed exposition loan Is general
legislation not authorised by existing laws.
He thought tha item should ba omitted,
but added that ba bad very little confidence
that it would be.
' Mr. Hale, in charge of tha bill. Bald he
waa In sympathy with Mr. Bailey concern
ing the amendment.
Mr. Bailey asked if the exposition act did
Hot stipulate that no further appropriation
should be made for the exposition.
"Undoubtedly," replied Mr. Hale. He
then went on to explain, that tha govern
ment had great interest in "the exposition
and that the United States waa a bare
bolder to the extent of tha receipt of one
third of tha proceeds. Mr. Hale also ax
plained that the government had partici
pated to the extent of inviting foreign gov
ernments to participate. ' ,
'Mr. Bailey argued that as congress bad
especially provided that it waa not to ba
committed to .further appropriations tha
senator from Maine could not contend that
tha proposed amendment was to carry out
existing law.
President Pro Tem Fry then announced
that ho would submit the point of order
tha senate.
TIIlBtna Breaks Oat.
Before this could be done Mr. Tillman
said he wanted to sar something On this
"loan or gift." the latter be thought, as it
was not likely that the government would
ever get anything back. In the course of
his remarks he said South Carolina bad a
share ot the stool that had been secured
by other cities and he bad helped to get it.
What be meant waa that this expenditure
of money waa unlawful and unconatltu
tlonaL
Mr. Spooner remarked that the senator
from South Carolina, had put himself on
record as participating in a steal.
"What I mean.' declared Mr. Tillman,
"to that when congress takes money from
the people and gtves It away for exposi
tions it amounts to a steal. What I want
to know Is bow far we are to go and bow
muoh longer we are to participate In"
Here Mr. Tillman baattated. "Btaals,
Interjected Mr. Spooner.
Y.es, steals," said Mr. Tillman, defiantly.
Mr. Bacon said that as be Intended to
vote for the amendment be did not want
the Impression to go out that it was wrong.
Ha thought the appropriation a proper one.
In reply to a Question from, Mr. Bailey,
ba said that abstractly ba did not endorse
tbe principle, and. thai If the practice of
giving aid to expositions was now being
Initiated be would oppose 'tbe practice.
But In view of what bad been' done in the
past be considered it not out of place to
tnake tbe appropriation. '
Mr. Allison supported the amendment on
tbe ground that In order to open the ex
position tbe money Is required. The United
States, ba said, so far participated In the
Work and other countries bare prepared to
make expenditures to the extent of (7,400,000.
We cannot afford, he answered, to have
the exposition fail because of lack of In
terest of other countries.

CAUSE OF WHITNEY'S DEATH
asf teawBsta Fwllerwlaar Operatic fer I
Appeadleltla, Was Isnasedlate
CWase of His Demise.
NEW TORK, Feb. I Septicaemia was
the Immediate cause of the death of Wil
liam C. Whitney, former secretary of the
navy, who passed away Tuesday evening.
A semi-official account of his last hours is
to the effect that tbe toxin which produced
peritonitis, following the operation for ap
pendecltla, gradually spread through the
tissues of the body until it reached the
brain cells, when there was paralysis and
death. The physicians had concluded to
open the superficial wound and examine
the area from which the pus was absorbed
by the drain Inserted after the operation.
It was impossible to make this examina
tion without putting the patient under
the Influence of an anesthetic, on account
of tbe great pain. Ether waa adminis
tered. the wound waa opened and the
lower part examined. While this was going
on three doctors kept the closest watch
of tbe patient's pulse and heart beats
Before the examination was concluded it
waa noticed that Mr. Whitney was sink
ing. The administration of ether was Im
mediately stopped, but before Its effects
could- wjar off he was dead.
It was decided today that the funeral of
the late William C. Whitney will take
place on Friday morning at 10 o'clock at
Grace church. Admission to the church will
be by card, as the capacity will be limited.
The interment will be at Woodlawn ceme
tery, for which place a special trafn will
leave the Grand Central station after the
services at the church.
Payne Whitney, who was summoned from
ThomesvlUe, Gs, when his father's condi
tion became critical. Is expected to arrive
here today.
Much Interest is attached to the probable
effect of Whitney's death upon his turf
Interests, which were to have been wider
the coming season than ever before. Under
rule 31 of the "rules of racing," all his
entries for this year's stakes, except pro
duce stakes and events, to which foal
nominations were made are null and void,
unless a transfer of the same was made
at the last moment. If not. It Is said
that 96 per cent of the entries made by
Mr. Whitney will be thrown out. thereby
greatly depreciating the value of the many
thoroughbreds heavily engaged. As to the
disposition of the stable, nobody In author
ity will talk.
Cognisance of Mr. Whitney's death was
taken In many courts la this city, tributes
to his memory being rendered by Judges
and members of the bar.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. -News of the
death of William C. Whitney caused a pain
ful Impression here, particularly among the
employes of the Navy department and
among naval officers who had served under
the Whitney administration. The first class
loved him because of his many warm traits
of heart, his generous acts and the active
sympathy he always manifested In the wel
fare of the humblest workers In the de
partment j He was always seeking to better
their condition and the clerks owed to him
many Indulgences which made their lot
happier and their work leas onerous. Naval
officers held blm In high esteem because of
an abiding belief on their part that to Wil
liam C. Whitney is owing in great measure
the present magnificent naval establish
ment. He Is regarded by these officers as
the father of the American modern navy.
Official notice of the late secretary's death
waa taken today when the flags over the
Navy department building and the annex
were ordered to be placed at half-mast and
to be kept so until after the funeral. .
ALBANY, N. T., Feb. . Eulogistic ad
dresses concerning the late William C.
Whitney were delivered In both branches
of the legislature today and the assembly

ory.

" Service TesaoormrMy Re
lieves Tension.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1-Indlana and
Kentucky locked horns In the house today.
The debate, which Involved nearly every
member of both state delegations, was fast
and furious from start to finish. Kentucky
demanded of Indiana the return of W. S.
Taylor that he might be tried for the as
sassination of William OoebeL
Tbe attack was made by Mr. James (Ky.)
and the defense was led by Mr. Crum
packer (Ind ). Partisan feeling rose to an
extreme tension. The diplomatic appro-
priatlon bill was under conafaeratlon at
the time. Mr. James fired both sides of
the house to Interest and feeling; by de
claring at the outset that "the rough rider
president" was ridiculous in his meesago to
congress favoring international extradition
treaties when one state could not get from
another fugitives from Justice. For four
years, he said, Governor Durbln of Indiana
had protected Taylor for the murder of
OoebeL 1
Mr. James continued:
I notice that when Durbln comes to town
he is wined and dined by this great Don
Quixote upon extradition, who absolutely
conlldes to Durbin the right to give the
waiting and anxious world the news that
Hanna can run for president if he wants
to, and when we will all read that, we
again declare, "The king can do no wrong."
Review Keataeky Records.
These remarks met democratic applause
and laughter, but stirred the opposition to
action and for something like two hours
many members were on their feet at a
time and tbe criminal and political records
of both Kentucky and Indiana were ban
died without giovea
When Mr. C rum packer took the floor
In defense of Indiana he was beset by a
volley of Questions from tbe democratic
side and was hardly able to maintain the
thread of bis argument on account of In
terruptions. Tbe tension was lessened and
better nature restored by the interposition
of a speech on the reorganization of the
consular service by Mr. Adams of Penn
sylvania, but It broke out again under lead
of Mr. Stanley of Kentucky to be again
quelled by a long speech against Canadian
reciprocity by Mr. Voltsted of Minnesota.
Mr. C rum packer declared that Taylor
was elected governor of Kentucky. Mr.
Williams (Miss.) wanted to know If Tay
lor was elected, If that excused the assas
sination of OoebeL Mr. Crumpacker de
clared he was not endeavoring to make
a defense of the assassination.
1 "Does the gentleman doubt that Ooebei
was assassinated for political reasons?"
queried Mr. Williams.
"I do not know that that has anything to
do with the Question." replied Mr. Crum
packer, amid democratic laughter. In con
tinuing Mr. Crumpacker declared the Ken
tucky Juries to have been "packed." This
met with heated denials from Representa
tives 6mith, Shirley and Stanley, all of
Kentucky.
Relieves the Teasloa.
An wnuMng Interruption vu made by
Mr. Burke (S. D ), which showed that tbe
tension had lessened. . -
"Will the gentleman state what propor
tion of Kentucky is prohibition?" asked
Mr. Burke." " - - ,
"Oh, about two-thirds," was the reply.
"We make whisky down there for the rest
of the country, Maine and Kansas."
Mr. Hayne defended I President Roose
velt's extradition treaty recommendations.
The general indictment of the president
and the republican party, be said, was not
well founded, cell her was the criticism, of
Governor Odell of New York made by Mr.
James for hla refusal to extradite Zeigler
on demand of Missouri.
Mr. Adams (Pa.) in beginning his annual
speech In favor of the reorganisation of
the consular service said that he was per
forming a very good office by Interposing a
buffer between Indiana and Kentucky Us
presented a bill for the reorganisation cf
the consular service.
Mr. Harrison (N. T.) discussed for ten
minutes what he characterised "the insult
ing treatment by the empire of Russia of
iraerican citizens who are Hebrews and
who go to that country." What was
needed, be said, was a new example of
American diplomacy which' would tell tbe
truth.
At S o'clock the bouse adjourned.

CASE .OF STATE RESTS
Defense in Butler Bood'e Trial Begini with
a Dtnmrm.
WITNESSES ALLEGE MONEY WAS OFFERED
Delegates Wanted 978,000, eat Man
' on Trial weald Pay Leas Than
' eVM,000 to Get Bill
Passed.
FULTON, Mo , Feb. 1 The court room
was densely crowded today, when Judge
Graves tesumed the trial of Colonel Ed
ward Biitler, Indicted on the charge of
bribing members of the St. Louis house
of delegates to secure the passage of a city
liatitlng bill. v
The first witness for the state today was
J. K. Murrell, former member of the house
of delegates and agent for the alleged com
bine of the members in Mr. Murrell
was among those Indicted on the charge
of bribery. He went to Mexico, but was
Induced to come back to St. Louis and turn
state's evidence. His appearance on the
stand caused considerable Interest among
those in the court room.
Murrell told of the formation of the house
cf delegates combine; how, when and where
they held their meetings, the number pres
ent, tha various propositions regarding the
lighting bill and the attitude of the "boys"
toward that legislation. He recited that the
combine met and. decided on JT3.000 as the
price for which they would pass the light
ing bill Subsequently, e said, he had a
conversation with Butler, which he sum
marised as follows :
"Butler asked me what we wanted to pass
the bllL I told blm the boys expected
ITS.0O0.
" Well he answered, you fellows can
have $47,900 not a cent more.' Butler came
to my office voluntarily. I did not send for
him."
Murrell then went on to tell how he re
ported Butler's ultimatum back to the com
bine. Ho said he met Butler for the second
time regarding the lighting bill ot Novem
ber 28, 1S99. The bill was passed on the
night of that day.
"Butler repeated his proposition on this
occasion," said MurrelL
' Boodle Faad Is Divided.
Before' he cast his vote for the bill, Mur
rell said. Delegate Helms told him It would
be "all right," meaning that . everything
was arranged with Butler.
On the 20th the lighting bill was killed by
the houso combine. The boodle fund of $47.
600, Murrell testified, was to Insure recon
sideration. Lehman presented the motion
to reconsider.
Murrell then told how the nineteen mem
bers of the combine met at the home of
Julius Lehmann and divided up the $47,600.
He got $2,600. as did each of the others, be
said.
After cross-examination of the witness by
the defense Murrell left the stand and
former Delegate John Helms took his place.
Helms related how he and "Kid" Sheri
dan, a house colleague, trailed Charles F.
.Kelly and Edmund Berh from the city
hall to Butler's office and -thence to. Julius
Lehmann's home, to make sure that no
part of tbe $47,500 boodle fund, alleged to
have been paid by Butler to the two men
for the votes of themselves and their seven
teen associates on the city lighting bill,
should fall to reach the place appointed for
the distribution. ,
William M. Tamblyn, former speaker and
combine associate of Helms dc Murrell,
aald that he talked with Butler on the
floor of the bouse of delegates and Butler
said to htm:,
"There la $2,500, Billy, if you vote for the
WU." .
'Did Butler say anything about providing
for other members?"
-"Welt, he told me there was $47,KO put
aside for the boys."
The rest of Tamblyn's testimony waa
largely corroborative of the statements of
Helms and MurrelL
Edward E. Murrell, a member of the
house of delegates at tbe time of his
brother's Incumbency, emphaslxed the testi
mony given by Helms, J. K. Murrell and
Tamblyn, but nothing material developed
In the course of his cross examination.
State Rests Its Case.
With the testimony of former Delegates
Otto, Schumacher and George Robertson
the state rested this afternoon. Their testi
mony was not materially different from that
of the other ex-delegates.
The first move of tbe defense was the
filing of a demurrer asking the court to
order a verdict of acquittal on the state's
testimony. Argument on the demurrer took
up tbe greater part of the afternoon.
Judge Graves overruled the demurrer, de
claring that upon the showing of tbe sum
mary of the state's case It "would be a
travesty upon Justice" to take the case
away from the Jury- Edward Butler then
took the stand 'In bis own behalf and dis
closed that It Is the purpose of his defense
to deny in detail . all the essential state
ments sworn to by the former members of
the house of delegates who testified against
him. Following Butler, Edward Butler. Jr.,
William Devlne and 'P. J. Laughltn were
placed on the stand for the. defense. De
vine and Laughlln are both In the employ
of Butler & Sons, horseshoe rs.
