Tha entire eorruspondonff submitted
contains practically nothing that
not lian been nmdo public through the nono-

made by American citizens ( or property de
stroyed ot the hands of the Infurgents. A
list ot these claims Is subnilttud. Tliero Is
also given n letter from Acting Secretary
Uhl to Vice Consul Springer at Havana ,
dated July 1 last , which says , In part : "It
Is n generally accepted principle of Interna
tional law that a sovereign government Is
not ordinarily rcspona.ulc to all residents
for Injuries that may be received within Its
territories from Insurgents whoso conduct
It cannot control , "
Thcro Is much correspondence also relative

AKslsUnt Secretary Uhl , In a telegram to
Vice Consul Springer at Havana , says the

jurisdiction altogether requires arrests to

says , has no Judicial cognizance over our

OTTAWA , Out. , Teh. 11. Hon. A. It.
Dickey , minister of Justice , Introduced the
Manitoba remedial bill In the House of Common
montonight. . Mr. Dickey announced that
the Dominion government expects Manitoba
to facilitate ) the working of the bill. If It
did not further leg slatlou would be asked.
The bill was given a first reading. It IP
In the second reading that the Important de
bate will begin.
CHICAGO. ( Feb. 11. The Times-Herald
special from Ottawa , Out. , says the Introduc
tion of the remedial bill In Parliament to
day caused the wildest excitement in Man
itoba , the province most directly concerned ,
ho Greonway government openly announces
that any attempt to coerce Manitoba Into
submission will bring on Ecrlous trouble
Rebellion Is likely tV follow , and civil
war Is n prsslblllty. The conserv
atives of Manitoba , realizing the
danger which threatens the province and
fearing a race and creed war , following
thetuge of the bill , \\hlch restores parochla"
cchools to Roman Catholics , have gone BO
far ns to warn the Dominion government
to consider the consequence of hasty action
in the matter.
The galleries of Parliament were crowded
today when the minister of justice * Intro
duced the bill. All the papers nnd docu
ments relating to the matter were formally
submitted to the Legislature by Premier
Greon\\ay tonight. It Is likely the premier's
first step will bo to appeal to the privy coun
cil of England. '

LONDON , Feb. 12. The Times says : Mi
chael Davltt lo freely mentioned as a com
promise for the nomination to succeed Jus
tin McaCrthy no chairman of the Irish Na
tional league. But in well Informed national
circles It is thought a trial of strength be
tween the Dlllonites and the Hcalyites will
occur. It appears that Thomas Sexton re
fused the chair until assured beforehand of
Timothy Hcaly's absolute submission. Healy
offered to co-operato on friendly terms , but
abwlutely declined to give Mr. Sexton a
blanket.
The Standard learns that Michael Davitt
has been offered and has declined to accept
the chairmanship. It Is believed In na
tional circles that the government committee
has found that Ireland Is ovortned over 2-
000.000.

Schomburgk line la as defunct as the bound

The Dally News says In an editorial : "It

Ho tried a mixture before when he offered

Ho cannot mean to repeat the dose. "

WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. The senate today
passed a bill giving the city ot Charleston ,
S. C. , the use ot the old postofllce building
for municipal purposes.
Senator Quay's resolution to recommit the
tariff bill went over.
Senator Ulanchard , democrat of Louisiana ,
then nddrw3cd the senate on the Monroe
doctrine :
Senator Dlanchard strongly commended the
president for the rcassertlon , on an enlarged
basis , ot the Monroe doctrine , nnd advo
cated that It bo gl\en the sanction ot legis
lative endorsement. He said the time had
come for such a declaration by congress
broad , bold , comprehensive , not made In
anger , or menacing , but firm. The senator's
spsech , while bold and firm , was In good
temper and evinced a spirit of kindred
friendship and peace toward which he termed
"Our cisatlantic cousins. " Among other
things ho said :
"Tho United States Is expected to
stand aloof from entangling alli
ances with Europeans ; we arc to have , it
ssema , nothing to do with European , Asiatic ,
African or Australian concerns. Wo have
heretofore stoidlly adhered to this line of
policy. Shut out of participation In European
politics , neither asking nor being Invited to
take part in the same , nro we , too , to be
deprived of the right to prescribe and domi
nate an American policy ? On this point the
people of the United States are especially
sensitive. And It Is not confined to any sec
tion or clasa of our people. It pervades all
alike ; it leaps o\er party lines and rises
above party feeling. On ihs Atlantic sea
board , In the northeast , , the caution of con
servatism ot capital and the fears of busi
ness disturbance may for a moment stay
this feeling , but those who count upon this
for the display of extreme forbearance on
our part may nnd themselves greatly In
error. Go ask the people of the great west
and those of the revivified and rapidly re
cuperating south and they will tell > ou that
the time has come for a broadening of the
scope of the Monroe doctilne nnd for a
much more enlarged application of It.
Seventy-three years ago , when this doctrine
was first proclaimed , the population of the
UnlteiT States won a little more than 9,000,000 ;
from 9,000,000 of people then \\o have multi
plied to 70,000,000. From meager resources
wo have plowed and planted , delved , mined
and commerced and manufactured , budded
and constructed our way to an enormous
aggregate of wealth. We do not have to
make a demonstration on land or sea to
proclaim our power or mark our readiness
for war.
AMERICA'S INTERESTS INVOLVED.
"This republic Is not to act the big
brother to each turbulent or revolutionary
republic or Island In the western hemis
phere nnd convulse the world about matters
of far less importance than many that arise
In our own country , but It does behoove us
to proclaim a distinctive American policy
a broad , comprehensive policy that Includes
within Its scope the three Americas North ,
Central and South.
"The United States stands at the head of
the * American sisterhood of states. She has
an Interest at once direct and vital in the
settlement of every question that can arise
affecting any portion of the American conti
nent , or any one of the free states on the
continent. Indeed , she has an Interest in Ihe
settlement of every national or International
question that can arise in the- western hemis
phere. Nor does this position on our part
militate against the right' of any govern
ment to protect Its citizens in any part pf
America , or to enforce payment of debts , or
to claim Indemnity for 'wrongs. The Mon
roe doctrine , oven In its present proposed en
larged scope , is not to be extended to inter-
icre wun tne business relations between the
American republics and Europe.
"Wo would not interfere if war broke out
and such countries were overrun by foreign
troops. But neither as the result of such
war , nor as the result of negotiation of treaty
can any European power acquire additional
territory In America.
"War waged by England or any other
European power with South or Central
American countries on any Just ground Is no
concern of ours. Only such war must not bo
one of conquest. And the war ended , foreign
troops must , within a reasonable time ,
evacuate.
"Tho Central nnd South American elates
desiring our aid to prevent acquisition by
conquest of any of their territory by stronger
powers cannot object if we insist that neither
ehall they dispose ot their territory to for
eign powers by treaty or other negotiations.
It Is a poor rule that will not work both
ways. "
DEFENDS THE SECRETARY.
Mr. Allen replied briefly to Mr. Vest's
criticisms on tbo secretary of agriculture.
Mr. Allen contended that any unusual allow
ance of seeds made by the secretary to Ne
braska was duo to the drouth there.
Mr. Wolcott Interrupted with the informa
tion tlmt the eastern belt had Buffered from
this aamo drouth , but the secretary of agri
culture had declined to give the slightest
help In tho'way of seeds. Mr. Wolcott hoped
there might bo some explanation of this in
order to "redeem an office that was regarded
aa worthless. "
In order < o stop the debate on the de
ficiency bill Mr. Halo suggested that the
seed bill had been disposed of earlier In
the day. "This Is all caput mortum , " said
the senator.
"Does the senator mean to call the secre
tary of agriculture a dead head ? " asked Mr.
Wolcott.
A discussion of Secretary Carlisle s ob
servance of civil service methods came up
on a provision of the deficiency bill for the
appointment of twenty-five expert money
counters. Mr. Chandler sarcastically pointed
out that the secretary's letter requesting the
twenty-flvo counters asked that ho bo given
the selection , as the Civil Service commission
was not able to furnish the class of counters
required. "It was thus discovered , " paid
Mr. Chandler , "that the Civil Service com
mission had broke down and was so feeble
and dilapidated that it could not furnish
money counters. "
Mr. Lodge said there was no decrepitude In
the Civil Service commission. This request
of the secretary was his desire to control the
appointments.
Mr. Allen arraigned the civil service sjs-
tcnu It would , In tlmrj turn over our gov
ernment tj-stem to n , ; it > of cigarette m kIng -

c Jin in s ! on. , , i
Mr. Wolcott interjected n brief but some
what sensational reply. Ho snld the real
menace to the coumry was the power of
patronage lc lged uth | > < the executive and
which had never been jised to euch an ex
treme as under the present administration.
A frca coinage bill would liivo packed through
the last house of repjresaatatlvcs had not the
power of pitronago , beep brought to bear
by the administration , especially the patron
age controlled by th6 tf-otary of the treas
ury. Colorado was Itoday flooded with ap-
po ntmeiits , many of thorn unfit ones , made
by the > ccrctary of , the treasury for con
gressmen who had "fatted" on the silver
bill. These constituencies had been de
bauched. The best service that could bo
performed would bo to deprive the president
and his cabinet of Iho entire flower of patron
age , to that nc > longf.- senators and repre
sentatives will hang around the wh'to house
and cabinet officers begging for morsels ot
patronage.
Mr. Lodge said patronage and favoritism !
wore unamcrcan. ! A iiystcm which compelled
osnatoro and representatives to go "huck
stering for messengers and tide waiters" and
to hang around the nntc-rooms cf the presi
dent and cabinet officers was demoralizing
nnd wrong. At thlo point the debate having
diverged conoderably ! from the appropria
tions , nn executive session was held , after
which the senate adjourned unt'I tomorrow.

MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS
Kentucky Ooroner's ' Jury Investigating the
Pearl Bryan Murder.
SEEKING FOR THE CAUSE OF DEATH
Not Much Credence I'laueil In tlic Al-
CoilfCNMiollM Of tllC IIol-
V.'onmii Mixed
111 > in the Crime.
CINCINNATI , Feu. 11. Coroner Tingle ?
of Campbell county , Kentucky , today began
hearing testimony to determine the man
ner In which Pearl Bryan met her death.
Sheriff Plummet- testified that ho had
Bccjred ample proof of the Identity of the
deccasad and yjlJ the eamo evidence would
show that her death ensued from tbo cut
ting of her throat. Dr. Heyl , a surgeon at
Fort Thomas , testified that not more than a
quart of blood wao found vihcro the body lay
ard that a person of Pearl Bryan's dessiip-
tlon should have lost five quarts. His
opinion \\.is that the head had been removed
several hours before the body was de
posited \\here found. The whole day will
probably bo taken up ulth the Inquest.
Less confidence Is felt In police clrrles hero
in the stories toll by Miss Holllngsuorih of
Indianapolis concerning the Pearl Bryan
murder. Particularly unlikely is her state
ment that she puriormed a criminal opera
tion on the girl la Indianapolis , as the ex
amination of ihe body shows that no such
attempt had been mado. While the parties
Interested In the case are continuing In
quiry in every direction , no discoveries have
been nuJe today that throw light on the
hidden facts and there is practically no
cnango In the situation.
The story of the Ilolllneiwrirtl , slrl alluded
to in the foregoing was embodied In an al
leged confession made last nleht.
She said the death of Pearl Bryan was
caused by an abortion , and that It was per
formed In a stairway in Indianapolis. Mlsi
Holllngsnorth says that P'IO ' performed the
abortion at the request of Miss Bryan. She
also claims to have received a letter from
Jackson In which ho explains how and whore
the woman was decapitated. In the letter ,
according to her story , Jackson said that
Miss Ilr > an died In his room , that ho hired
a horse and buggy and employed a negro
to aaslst him , The negro , with the body of
Miss Bryan , drove to Fort Thomas , where
Jackson \vas In waiting. The negro cut oft
the head of the young v.amfin with a cleaver
nnd Jackson threw It into the river from the
suspension bridge.
The police bollovo Miss Ilolllngsnorth Is a
notoriety seeker , and discredit her story.
So far she has been unable to verify her
1'iurj , umj oiiiiougn me oiucers nave
constantly , they have been unable to find
anything to substantiate it.
Another clue was developed toJay when
two colored girls , having rooms at 48 lOast
Trout street , near the approach to the New
port brldgo on Broadway , uero brought to
the Jail to BIO If they could identify the
prisoners as two men whocnt to their
rooms on the Saturday morning that the
body of MUs Bryan was found , The girls ,
Minnie Johnson and Annie I.cc , say that
after 1 o'clock that morning they tmv three
man under the Newport brldgo at Broadv.ay ,
One carried a valise. One of the men ac
costed them and asked them where they
were going. They mid they were going
home , and invited the men to go with them ,
"I want to wash up , " zaIJ one. "Let's
go. "
TMO of them then vent with the girls , but
the man with the vallso remained. Whllo
the men ncre washing up the women ob
served blood on the arms and sleeves of ono ,
and that a shirt sleeve of one was missing.
When the men wont a\\ay the uomcn fol
lowed far enough to see that they Joined
tholr companion with the valla * and went off
together.
In the jail the women were sure that WallIng -
Ing and Jacktun are the tuo men ulio made
the call they described.
annUNCASTI.13 , Ind. , rcli. 11. The
county commissioners were called together
tcday to take some action In the Bryan case.
It Is proposed to offer a reward of $500 for
the recovery of the head of ttio murdered
gill. In the hope of stimulating the search
for It. The body utlll awaits burial and will
not bo taken from the vault until the case is
finally disposed of.

CONSTANTINOPLE , Feb. 11. The Porto
has Informed the ambassadors of the powers
that It agrees to grant amnesty to the Ar
menians who have been for a long time past
besieged by Turkish troops In the town of
Zelloun , after revolting against Turkish rule
and caplurlng about 100 Turk'sh troops with
their arms and ammunition. But the Porto
demands the expulsion from Zeltoun of the
revolutionary hyntchaklBts who are now liv
ing with the Insurgents. The latter will
bs allowed to retain the old weapons with
which they wcro untied previous to the out
break , but they will be compelled to surren
der the modern rlllcs , said to be mostly of
Russian manufacture , which have In some
manner been smuggled into Xeltoun slnco the
Insurrection occurred. The Porto also do-
mand.s that the refugees at Xeltoim , esti
mated to number about 0,000 persons , return
to their villages. Protection Is promised
them and every effort possible will bo made
to assist them during the remainder of the
w'nter ' and In the spring , .should It be neces
sary Regarding the proposal for n revision of the
system of taxation , the Porte Insists upon Its
right to treat directly with the Zoltounlls
and it Is cons'dcred tlmt the government
win no niioucu to no so under proper super-
vision. Thcbe conditions liavo bacn forwarded -
warded to the foreign consuls at Kcltoun with
Instructions to submit them to the Insurgents
of that place
It Is staled that the consent of the Porlo
to grant nmncsly to the Zcltounllii may have
been considerably Influenced by the fact
that half of the muii belonging to the
clghtecnlh balalllons of Turkish troops be
sieging Zoltoun are on the sick list , suffer
ing from exposure , want of proper food and
lack of sanitary arrangements.
In fact , If rcporta which arc current hero
among friends of the Insurgcntu ere to bo

leportod among the Turkish troops about
/.eltoun , there- has been considerable loss of
life among them an well. At a rough estl-
male it Is believed th.it neaily 15,000 Turk
ish tioops occupy the various position * !
about Kcitoun. Unable to take the place by
assault , they settled down to nn attempt to
