ulstlng of Senators Davis, Lodgo mid Mor
gan. This report Is largely a review of
the history of tho Clayton-Iluiwcr treaty.
Referring to the difference which havo
arisen over tho treaty, this part of tho re
port says:
"The only objections that havo been urged
tiy the United States have not related lo
tho treaty ns a binding compact, but to tho
conduct of Oreat Urituln In regard to terms
nnd refusing to abandon certain Islands In
tho coast pofseKslotm which sho claims cre
not held after tho date of the treaty In vio
lation of Its terms."
('mini .No I.onm'r i:rlolr.
The i'onimlttee calls attention to tho fact
that Under existing conditions the canal is
not '.'exclusive," and adds: "This magic
word has .paralyzed tho eager dealro of tho
two great powers to control tliU canal for
tlfty"'ybars and now Its dlsapiKjnranco leaves
us iipa to construct und control the canal,
excluding any right of Orc.it Ilrltaln to In
terfeni." Tho committee also concludes:
"Tho present abrogation of tho Clayton
llulwer treaty would not In tho least re
instate tho rightH of Honduras or Guatemala,
as wo lillego thoy were In 1850. Neither do
these states nsk our intervention In their
nffalia. lint wc have a more compulsory
reason, ouo that In vol vert our due respect for
the history of our own country, for ceasing
to bring Into further discussion tho ques
tions' ot good faith on the, part ot firc.it
Drltnjn Jn tho execution of tho stipulations
In tbo cbbo of tho Clayton-Ilulwer treaty."
Thlsrcasou is found in the ratification of
tho IrcitliH of i860, referring to which the
committee says:
"Tho congress expressed no dissent to
them, or to the president's declaration
that .'the dangerous' questions arising from
tho Clnyton-Hulwer treaty havo been nmlcn-,
Wy settled.' Wo csnnot now assert to tho
contrary, and for tho purpoah of abrogating
that treaty we cannot insist that those ques
tions aro not settled.
"Tho conclusion Is unavoidable that the
government of the United States acknowl
edged In 1880 that tho Clnyton-Hulwer treity
was an obligatory convention nnd that It had
been fully nnd satisfactorily executed on the
part of (.rent Ilrltaln as to all questions
which up to that tlmo had been controverted
between tho (wo governments."
Referring to tho Clnyton-Hulwer treaty,
the committee snys:
In) ton-llulu or Trt'iilj ltt-rouil7.i'tt.
"It certainly avoided hostile collision be
tween these grc.it powers, whatever may
havo been lis faults iih an entangling nlll
nncq.or national humlltntlon to us or the
rnuso of protracted nnd heated diplomatic
controversy.
"Since 18i!0 tho Clnyton-Hulwer treaty has
been In somo way recognized by tho govern
ment In-eueh of'the Hticcecding administra
tions ns n subsisting compact.
"Strong reasons for Its nhrogatlon hnvo
been frequently statsd and some havo al
ways denied Its obligatory forco, but no
movement to accomplish that result has
lieen made either by congrcFH or the execu
tive. This treaty Is, therefore, open and ex
isting aa a binding ami tinexivutetl comp.irt
with tho express approval of tho United
Btntes as to Urn question of our control over
the canal and our right to build and fortify

or by uniting the Interests of both govorn-

should bo estimated as a great considera

Speiiklng of the restrictions In the treaty
tho roport says:
"These grounds of objection to our ex
clusive control of tho canal aro all re
n,oved by this convention savo those that
relate to fortlficntlonj, which, being ex
pressly restated, arc retained In' a new or

"If this convention Is ratified Great Ilrlt

Nicaragua or nny other American state for

to enter upon and conclude such negotia
tions. "Them Is nothing, therefore, to the preju
dice of th (i United States In tho conven
tion of February 5, 1000.
"No American stntcnnn, speaking with
official authority or responsibility, has ever
Intimated that tho United Status would at
tempt to control this canal for tho exclu
sive Wnellt of our government or our peo
ple. They have nil, with one accord, de
clared that the canal was to he neutral
ground In time of war and always open, on
terms ot Impartial equity, to tho ships and
commerce of the world.

"Spevlnl treaties for the neutrality, Im
partiality, freedom and innocent uso of the
canals that are to bo tho eastern and west
ern gateways of commerce between the great
oceans nre not In keeping with tho magni
tude and universality of tho blei-slngs they
must confer on mankind. The subject rather
belongs to tho domain of International law.
"Tho leading powers of Europe recog
nized tho Importance of this subject In re

for fifty years on the neutrality of nn Isth

"To set up the selfish motive of gain by

must derive Its Income from tho patronage of
all maritime countries would be unworthy
ot tho United States If wc owned the country

Touching upon tho strategic Importance of
tho canal, the report ways:
"Wp stipulate ngalnst tho blockade of
tho canal by any nntlon.
"In conditions that may not he entirely
remote we would find this provision In lot
ting our ships through tho cannl free from
capturo by our enemy of great security to
our coastwlso trade.
"With our naval bases nt Manila, Honolulu,
San Francisco and San Diego on one side,

"If wo arc not able to handle nn enemy
under such disadvantages to them our power
of reslstnnco to such n campaign would bo

As to tho prohibition of fortifications the

Senator Morgan later In the day filed a
minority report opposing the amendment
of tho committee.
After announcing his concurrence In the
main report referring to tho history of the
Clayton-Hulwor treaty, Senator Morgan pro
ceeded to tho consideration of that treaty
ns affected by the pending agreement. He
sayo that the extreme contention of tho gov
ernment of the United States has (been that
the. Clayton-Hulwer treaty Is vlolablo at
our discretion. Not having exercised that
option the treaty Is confessedly conclusive
as to the part having been executed and Is
opcratlvo as to parts that remain In fieri.
Referring to former bills passed by the
senate for the construction of tho canal by
prlvnto companies. Morgan sayt that Great
Ilrltaln never Intimated any contention of
conflict between the concessions and the
Clnyton-Hulwer treaty, all theso objections
being made by opponents of tho bill In tho
senate. He Invites uttentlon to tho fact that
tho pending treaty is for tho avowed purpose
of removing any objection that may arise
out of tho former trouty to tho construction
ot tho canal.

before cither know of the action of tho sen
ate committee upon tho Hay-I'aunccfoto
treaty nnd itho amendment could not have
been discussed by them.
It was assumed by State department offi
cials that the senate will accept tho amend
ment proposed by the committee on foreign
relations, but as to what would happen ntter
that thcro la a disagreement among tho oftl
clals. Some express -tho opinion that, hav
ing accepted tho amendment, tho senate will
then reject the whole convention, nnd an
other element, although agreeing with tho
first ns to tho ultlmnto fnlluro ot the treoty,
holds that this fnilure will result from tho
refusnl of tho other party, or rather parties,
to nccept the modification mado by tho
United States. Officially of course during
tho pendency of tho treaty before the sen
ato none of tho executive officials could nl

of tho action of tho sennto or Its committees,

WASHINGTON, March 0. Tho cross-examination
of James R. Sovereign was con
tinued today In tho Coucr d'Alenc Investiga
tion before tho houso committee on military
affairs. Representative Dick took the wit
ness over his statements regarding mnrtlnl
law nnd the course of tho War department,
with a view to showing that It wns tho state
authorities nud not tho federnl government
who declared nnd enforced mnrtlnl law. Mr.
Sovereign said that a rending of tho onictal
telegrams satisfied him that tho Wnr depnrt
inent declared martial law, ns tho military
telegrams antedated tho governor's procla
mation by one day.
When nsked It tho military was there for
any other pnrposo than to maintain pence
nnd order, tho wltnoas answered that he be-
llcvod this was not their purpose, us their
presence tended to pnralyzo tho people, sub
stituting military dictation tor tho usual
rlvil methods. . No one ever heard of mar
tini law before In labor troubles, Mr. Sov
ereign declared. As to his approval of tho
use of tho military nt tho Chicago strike, ho
said this -wns limited to the uso of the mili
tary for pollco purposes in maintaining
order. Mr. Sovereign said that he had un
derstood tho Hunker Hill mine was owned
by tho Standard Oil company, but this had
been denied In testimony beforo tho indus
trial commission, although tho witness be
lieved from the testimony that this owner
ship existed. Ho was also questioned ns to
the Influence of certain lead Interests in tho
Coucr d'Alcno district. In that connection
ho said n mine official had told him several
of the lead Interests had sought to combine
on a $.10,000,000 capitalization, but tho New
York capitalists' would not consider tho mat
ter unless the capitalization wns $178,000,000.
Representative Sulzer remarked that "This
means $118,000,000 of water" and Chairman
Hull ndded thnt It was a valuable basis for
another investigation.

WASHINGTON, March 9. Tho first day
pension session of tho houso provided for
under the new rule adopted yesterday
proved a great success. There was com
paratively llttlo friction and ninety-seven
IiUIh were fnvorably acted on In committee
of tho whole nnd subsequently passed by
the house.
The only Incident of the session was a
brisk exchange between Ioud of California
nnd Sulloway of New Hampshire upon the
genornl policy of special pension legislation
In which the former attacked and tho latter
defended tho system.
Loud delivered wmc general remarks on
tho policy of passing prlvnto pension bills.
He said that 9." per cent of tho special bills
passed by congress never should hnvo been
favorably considered. All of them, ho said,
had been rejected by the pension office after
tho claimants had exhausted every effort ip
establish their claims. He knew It wns
unpopular to say these things, hut, said he,
no man ever made a mistake by pursuing
the right. Of the million nnd n qunrter old
soldiers nnd widows of old soldiers who
mirvlved the war almost 1,000,000 were on
the pension roll. Loud warncil members
that If things went on as they were going
during tho life of tho direct descendants oi
the youngest member of tho house, congress
would still be legislating for tiic pensioners
of tho civil war.
It .might bo surprising to somo mombers
to know, but it was nevertheless true, that
congress was still legislating for casos arls
ing out of tho revolutionary war. Loud
said he hns never objected to a meritorious
case.
Sulloway, chairman of tbo committee on
Invalid pensions; replied to Loud. He said
ho gloried In the fact that his country had
done moro than nny other for tho care of
thoso who defended the Hag. Whilo n single
old soldier wos hungry and cold, his body
racked with physical pain, and his mind
with mental ugony, ho prayed to God that
the pension roll would Increase. Hills passed
included ono to pension the widow of Gen
eral Mosew N. Ilnne of the Fiftieth Illinois
at $12 a month, and one to pension Sarah
Campbell, widow of the Into General
Charles T. V. Campbell, who was n member
of the Korty-sevcnth, Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth
congresses, at $30 a month.

WASHINGTON. March 9. At tho opening
of today's session of tho sennto Allison of
Iowa reported from the committee on np
proprlatlon3 the houso bill making appro
priations of customs dues exacted from the
Island of I'orto Rico from October IS, lSI'S.
to January 1, 1900, amounting to $2.093.13...
and guvo notlco that he would call up the
measure tomorrow. He said as tho mrasttro
was well understood he hoped nnd believed
It would lend to no extended debate.
When routine business had been finished
Mason called up his motion, entered ester
day, to discharge tho foreign relations com
mittee from further consideration of his
resolution expressing the sympathy of tho
senate with tho Ho?rs "In their heroic strug
gle with Great Ilrltaln." Tho motion was
laid before the senate.
Davis, chairman of tho committee on
foreign relations, moved thnt the doors be
closed nnd tho senate, t 12:20 o. m.. went
Into executive session.
After being In secret legislative nnd ex
ecutive session for nearly two hours the
senate, nt 2:20 p. m., proceeded ngaln to
open legislative session.
Lindsay of Kentucky took the floor to ad
dress the sennto on tho I'orto Rico tariff and
government bill.
Following Is nn nbstrnct of Lindsay's dis
cussion of the question:
I.liulni.v on I'orto lllenn It 1 1 1 .
"Tho selection of tho Island of I'orto Rico
ns tho proper subject for establishing the
principle that tho territories acquired by
tho United Stntea through the recent treaty
with Spain are not per so Integral portions
thereof is, In my opinion, singularly un
fortunate. Tho difference in the considera
tions applying to the American and tho
Asiatic territories acquired by the recent
cession by Spain nre radical nnd do not re
quire elaboration or discussion. I'orto Rico
Is essentially nn American country, and
whllo Its term of territorial probation tnay
necessarily bo an extended one, there Is no
reason that precludes It at somo future tlmo
from being admitted into the union ns an
American stnte. This Is not truo with re
gard to the riilllpplno archipelago or the
Hawaiian Islands. This Is n union of Amer
ican states and must so remain to the end.
Tho bond of union was ordained nnd estab
lished ns 'tho constitution of tho CnRed
States of Amcrlcn,' nnd our traditions, glory
and safety allko forbid the admission Into
tho union ot any other than a North Ameri
can state.
"Tho passage of the houso bill to tax
imports and exports between I'orto Hlco and
the United States has provoked general con
demnation by tho people of the United
States. They almost universally demand
that trado between tho United States and
the island of I'orto Rico shall be unre
stricted by any custom duties whatever, and
that wo shall redeem tho good faith nnd
tho Implied pledges of this country to the
peoplo of thnt Island "
Tho doctrlno thnt tho United States fol
lows tho flag nnd thnt no country to which
titlo may bo acquired, whether by treaty or
conquest, can be held nnd governed other
wise thnn ns nn Integral portion of the
United States, did not commend Itself to
him. Tho United States was not less than
a nation ns theso contentions would make It
appear. It it be necessary or expedient for
a republic to go to war, to overrun the
territories ot Us enemy, It may lawfully
oy.ejrrun atiil.pccupy them nnd nt thu cloio
of a successful war may indemnify Itself
for the expenso nnd dnmnge sustained by
requiring tho cession of such portions of
tho conquered territory ns Justice und ex
pediency may icasonably demand. It may
rcqulro tho Inhabitants of tho conquered
country to submit to reasonable and Just
rules prescribed for their government. It
was to avoid tho claim that, by the orecpt-
anco of tho cession from Spain wo placed
ourselves under obligations to the people of
tho ceded territory, to clotho them with
Amerlenn rltlzmiHiiln. however inexpedient
or preposterous, br even dangorous It might
bo to do so, that tho stipulations of the old
French. Spanish and Mexican treaties were
omitted and a materially different stipula
tion Inserted In tho treaty of l'aris.
Summing up his position with reference
to tho dlflcrcnco between the treaty of I'aris
and other treaties by which tho United
States had acquired territory, Senator Lind
say said;
Philippine Are Different.
'Tho treaty of Paris dees not provide, as
havo other treaties, that the Inhabitants of
tho territories ceded by Spain shall nt any
time, or In any contingency, bo made cltl- j
zens of the United States, or that their civil ;
rights nre to bo incnsurcd by the federnl
constitution. Thoso rights nre committed
to tho determination of congress. The
Asiatic countries ceded by Spain cannot bo
incorporated into our union. Their peoplo
cannot bo admitted to tho rights of citizen
ship. Wo have, therefore, two alternatives,
cither to refuse the performance of tho duty
which, In tho estimation of tho civilized
world, we assumed by tho acceptance of tho
cession, or else courageously to set about tho
task ot giving to theso peoplo the best gov
ernment they aro capablo of administering.
do not favor and 1 do not believe tho
American people favor the permanent hold
ing of tho Filipinos In a stnte of vassalage,
but wo do not liasten the day of their na
tional enfranchisement by demanding for
them rights which their conditions make It
Impossible foe them to enjoy, or by charg
ing thorn with duties they aro palpably un
ablo to perform.
"I Insist that wo may legislate for I'orto
Rica and Its peoplo In the broadest spirit of
Justlco and generosity without endangering
our nuthorlty to solve the Asiatic problem
on llneH consistent with thn best Interests
of tho United Stntes and of tho Philippines,
on principles that will secure to tho peoplo
of those Islands national autonomy when
ever they may demonstrate their capacity
and disposition to preservo domestic order
and to perform the International obligations
that must bo nssiwiicd should they becomo
nn Independent state.
"Wo cannot forget that, with the cession of
I'orto Rico, she lost the principal markets
she had long enjoyed; thut our tariff laws
havo beon systematically applied to her
products, nnd that tho markets of Spain and
Cuba, which were once open to her, can
only bo reached now by tho payment of
Spanish and Cuban duties. Klie has lost

INDIANAPOLIS. Intl.. March 9. For pres.
ldent, Kugene V. Dobs of Indiana.
For vlco president, Job Hariiman of Cal
ifornia. This Is the national ticket of the ooclal
democratic party, which will absorb the
Hilqult-Harrlman faction of the socialist -labor
party, by agreement. The social dem
ocrats were happy today. They say the
candidacy of Debs will attract hundreds of
thousands of voters to their party. They
profess to see tho beginning of a great na
tional victory.
The convention, In agreeing to unlto with
the socialist labor faction, retains the parly
name social democratic party. The caudl
datca and tho amalgamation nre to be im
proved by n mnjcrlty of each party, accord
ing to the referendum.
Debs had previously refused to accept the
nomination, but finally succumbed to per
suasion. It seems from the explanations of
friends that Debs has been applying his
earnings to the extinction of a debt ngalnst
tho American Railway union anil that ho did
not want to cease until tho debt was paid.
The debt amounted to several thousand dol
lars. Debs received assurances that tbo
tlebt would ho taken care of and that he
would receive a rest of three months beforo
entering the presidential canvass.
At this morning's session of tho conven
tion the nominations of Debs and Harrlman
were confirmed.
