was not permitted to say whether the plan

to a juror witness eald he had bought goods

sense of the senate that the United States
should redeem the Union Pacific railway
from prior Hem and take steps to foreclose
the government mortgage. 'Hie resolution
was amended by the addition of a provls'on '
at the Instance of Senator Morgan requestIng -
Ing the president to "suspend proceedings
to carry Into effect the agromcnt alleged to
have been made to cell the Interests of the
United States In the I'nlon Pacific railroad ,
and In the sinking fund until further action
of congress IP had In reference thereto "
The action of the commltee waa unanimous.
Senator Harris was authorized to make the
report.
In presenting the resolution to the senate
Mr. Hnrrk will Introduce a report , while It
is not nuthoilzcd a.s a committee report ,
which givcb the Kansas tienator's views and

: hat it wab the Intention ot congress that

TIMn FOll A PROTEST
When the executive department of the
government consents to an arrangement by.
which this fundanient.il objort of the law Is
absolutely and forever defeated and the I
great line > highly prized It to be divided !
up among : warilnt ; and conflicting Interests ,
It Is time for an earnest and emphatic
protest on the part of congress , and when
lurther It Is found that the executive not
only permits , but actually partlcipites and
alda In the execution of this destruction ,
as shown by the coire pondence ns given by
the letter from the attorney Rcneral In
ie ponsf to the senatf resolution of January
2. ) , nnd March 2ti. 1M 7 , nnd hereto attached ,
and aetu.illv ijtopofe.s to con-cnt to n sur
render of tht blnUlnp fund and the - enormous
mous sacrifice of the pecuniary Interests
of the gcveminent. It would t.eem beyond
the power of the most able ot corpora'Ion
agencies to tatlsfactorlly explain such ac
tion. This correspondence shows letters
from various goveminent directors highly
approving this unlawful proceeding. H1 we
are to believe the current news of the day
some of these directors are largely Inter
ested In the proposed new organization , and
history seems able to tepeat lt clf and the
practices of the Credit Moblller and the
construction companies of the past to be
once more icvlved and put In operation.
If the government has knowledge of this
plan of reoisanlzatlon It has not been com
municated to congie s , and the haiste In the
snlo of the property under the existing
ngtocincnt with the fomirr executive ,
which i evidently a part of the plan , re
quires the aitlvc Intel ventlon of congress
In demanding n full Unovvlcdgo of the plan
In course of execution.
Figures are added to show that under the
proposed reorganization the government
would lo&e $24,784,396 , and It Is also asserted
that great losses would be sustained by
othsr creditors.

LONDON , June 25 The Scho this after

M. Depow , in which he ! ' quoted as ex
pressing the belief that the arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great Britain
will be law before the tnd , of the present
McKlnley administration. Regarding the
antl-Brltlah feeling In 'the ' United States , he
remarked : "Americana tiave a deep distrust
of the methods of the British government ,
and regard thet British as land grabbers. I
admit that when the British grab , they give
the people better Government , but Ameri
cans fear they will not bo content with
getting the land of tne OIU World , but are
going to try to grab In the New World. Any
thing of that kind done In our hemisphere
wo want to do ourselves. This cusplclon
of the foreign pollcv Is he reason for the
failure of the arbitration treaty , though
Irish opinion may have helped , for America
has deep sympathy for Ireland and home
rule , and It scores to be the natural develop
ment of the federal Idea. A permanent
tribunal for Great Britain and America must
come. President MeKlnley ana the most
thoughtful Americans are In favor of It. "

WASHINGTON . June 23. ( Special Tele
gram ) Senator Allen Is pushing the scheme
ot mobilization of the regular and militia
forces of the United States nt Omaha next
year to "beat the band " He had a long con
ference with the attaches ot the adjutant
general's office of the War department today ,
going over In detail what vvns wanted by
the people of Omaha to make the rendezvous
a great success. All this cime about through
the senator's letcrs to the secretary of war
and by the latter referred to the adjutant
general s office- for an opinion ns to the feas
ibility of the scheme. Senator Allen leained
that to moblll/e all of the mllllla of the
United States and 30 per cent of the regular
army at Omaha for a month would cost
upwards of $3,000,000. To mobilize 3d rev
cent of the mllltla strength of the country ,
which In figured at 220000 men. It would ccst
? 1,500,000. but to rendezvous 30 per cent of
the regular army , or about 8,000 men at
Omaha for a month would cost but $100,000
The adjutant general did not take kindly to
the mllltla ide'a for the reason that many
states have not got their national guard on
an > thing like the efficiency of regulars , and
to brlfh ? the state and regular soldiers to
gether under these clrucni'tancca might work
to the disadvantage of both The answer to
Senator Allen's letter of Inquiry will prob
ably be ready Monday or Tuesday , and will
be accompanied by such suggestions as the
adjutant general's olilce deems necessary to
make the mobilization If It is accompllHhed ,
a credit to the country. Lieutenant Williams
of the office dwelt particularly upon
the proper water service and sewage
In such a camp as Is contem
plated , which If carried out on any
thing like the plan proposed , will bring to

J VC1CSON , Miss. . June 25. A negro named
Moaely , who killed Partner John Strong , near
Costal Spilngs , Mlra. , a few dajs ago and
who was arrested at that plate jesterday and
confined In jail , was hanged by a mob there
at 0.50 o'clock this morning. The negro
had been guarded by 300 armed men since
jeiterday and two calls for troops from
this place had been Bunt , but , owing to the
absence of Governor McLaurln and the fact
that It vvao Impossible to establish com-
ni'intcatlon with Lieutenant Governor Jones
who Is at his home In Woodvllle , the troops
did not stait for the scene until this moin-
Ing , when the moving order was iccclved.
The troops received orders to stop as they
were boarding tin1 tialn.
After hanging Mcsca to the tree some of
the mob made a move to uhoot him. The
leader declined It ahould not be done , aa
justice had triumphed and that was all they
wanted. The mob then started on a search
for a negro preacher who had sworn that the
murderer had --pent the day on which Stiong
was killed at his house and knew he ( Moses )
was not the guilty person. He eworo to a
deliberate lie and the mob caught him and
gavohlm an unmerciful whipping.
Lieutenant Governor Jones has Just
wired Adjutant General Henry from
Woodvlllo as follows. "The sheriff
of Coplnh county aska for fifty
men to guaul prisoners from mob Take all
necessary stepa to comply with the request.
If my presence Is necessary wire me. "
Adjutant General Henry this morning re
ceived another reciuest from Crystal Springs
asking that troops be sent and string that
the guards cannot hold out against the
mob much longet The Capital Light Guards
of this city leave at ouco for the scene of
the disturbance.

American grit , American methods and
American training , as against American grit
coupled with English methods and English
training. A crew of American college youths
trained under an American coach won from
two other American college crews and clght-
oared contestants , the two other crews hav
ing studied , the one under an American
coach w Ith a mixture of English and Ameri
can methods and the other disregarding all
American teachings and metho < ! a and Im
porting an English coach In an endeavor to
prove a superiority for Henley methods. No
such contest occurred In thla country be
fore. Cornell university has not been able
to m"et Yale since 1SS7 and the lost then ,
but today she defeated tinVNeaters of the
blue.
RACE OX ITS MEIUTS.
After long blckciing Yale university con
sented , under pressure from Harvard , to
again me-et Cornell. The match was arranged
and today thalending crews of these three
leading collegia of America started down
the four-mllrf stretch together. Yale finished
second , three and a half boat lengths sep
arated from Cornell. Harvard , with Its newly
acquired EnglUh mcthodo , finished third , and
was over tight nnd a half lengths behind
Cornell. Haivard's eight weru thoroughly
exhausted , while the exponents of American
theory applied to the propulsion of clght-
oarcd shells , finished at a hot pace , without
any "distress being apparent. The tide was
slack , the wind favore-d no particular crew
and absolutely no favor of any kind was
shown by nature toward the Jesuit. The
race was rowed entirely on its merits.
The race also set a conclusion upon the
long-mooted question concerning weights.
Yale stripped Into Its boat at an average of
171 pcunclr Cornell IBS. Yale used every
pound of UR "beef" and the leverage of Its
oars , and at times with a nervousness which
made the boat fairly lift from the water.
Cornell cmplojed' Its trained-down muscle
without bref In a leisurely , confident man
ner , that pulled it at every fatrokc toward
victorf.
It was a singular coincidence that the Eng
lish-trained crew. Harvard , pursued exactly
the same- method as to the number of strokes
per minute as did the winners , and although
they weighed on an average ten pounds heav
ier than CoincU'n men that extra weight
told for nothing and cither from too much
"llnencbs" in training or lack of ability to
pull the stroke set for them , they were prac
tically "dead" after the second mile. It Is
also curious to uoto that Cornell pulled ex
actly the same Mnd of a stroke and the *
same numbei of strokes tc the minute that It
pulled last year , when It won In record
breaking ( Imp , and that Harvard , while ad
vertising that It had entirely new incthode ,
was defeated In exactly the same manner that
defeat met It last year.
CORNTLL HOLDS THE RECORD.
Drlcfly the result of today's race Us that
Cornell asserts Its superiority In rowing ,
method of training and capability over the
two larger universities , and still holds the
record for Intercollegiate eights of nineteen
minutes , twenty-nine seconds , which it made
laHt 5 car.
The lace was one of the most brilliant la
the history of aquatics In this country. The
crews started with a stroke of thirty-two for
Cornell and thirty-alx for Harvard and Yale.
Haivard gained a slight advantage over tha
others at the start , and the usual note ot
jubilation went up from the Harvard ad
herents It was apparent within the first
quarter of a mlle that Cornell won using the
! > ame inttho.l.s that took them on to victory
last > car , that of a slow and telling stroka
that would wear out their opponents. The
boats traveled swiftly , although It wan easily
noticeable that the tide was at a .slack , and
the ccndltloim did not favor record breaking.
Yale ulth a quick stroke hung In the rear
until the first qimiter was passed while Cor
nell and Harvard fought It out. Cornell
forged to the front before the end of the
first mile wa.s reached. Harvard struggled
vallamly , but before the end of the mlle and
a half was In the rear of Yalo. Cornell went
on with that easy , swinging attoke , little
Cotaon on the coxswain's box cautioning them
not to run away with It , Harvaid , acting
under the Instructions of their training mas
ter , uaed at many points thu same stroke on
to numbers , but It seemed to have little ef
fect , the boat of Cornell running away from
Harvard ,
COHNEMj KEKI'3 COOI , .
At the two-mile point the Yale crow waa
going away fiom Harvard nnd the latter
Heeincd unable to prevent It , although they
were rowing away at the long thirty-two
stroke that had been predicted a winning :
one. After Yalu got away from Harvard It
turned Its attention to Cornell and just be
yond the second mile maile . desperate spurt
to catch the ttllm jbungatfis Never for a
moment did ( he youu , , ' whlte-flhlrtcd lad *
from Cornell got rattled , The weighty
youngsters from Yale used every pound of
leverage on the end of the oar , but they
could not bring their boat alongside of th
swiftly moving craft of the Cornell boys.
The Harvard men were rowing in a very-
weak fashion during this next mlle and U
was evident that they were thoroughly used
up.
up.At the bridge the coxswain of the Har
vatil crew had to glvcj the Harvard stroke A
little water in hla face and for the moment
under the reviving influence the boat iwung
on at a goodly pace , nut only for o moment ,
and juat as they passed under the big tirldgo
the stroke began to give way , Cornell was
rowing at thirty-two and Yale waa working
away at thirty-three and thirty-four and evl.
iltntly tired. Iteforo they reached the third
mlle poet Yale had begun to cpurt and the
eight powerful representatives of old Kll'a
mu cle anl utamlna bent to their work with
a , wonderful exhibition of flheer will power ,
for their Btmigth waa gone. Kor a period of
pTliapt three minutes the dying etruggle of
lha glinta lasted and they gained a little
o-i the flInK Icadeni , and poor old Jiarvurd ,
wi'h nearly every man exhausted , clung
