WASHINGTON, April 18. During almost
tho ontlro session of the Bcnato todny tho
Alaskan civil codo bill was under con
sideration, in , this connection Stewart
(Nev.) dcllvored an address of nearly threo
hours upon the mining' laws of tho Unltod
Strit6s and their relation to tho proposed
amendment of Hansbrough ns tho rights of
alien locators of claims. Nelson (Minn.),
Carter (Mont.) nnd Teller (Colo.) discussed
tho pending nmondmcnt at. length, b th
Nelson and Toller being particularly vigor
ous In tholr denunciation of It.
An effort was mado by Money (Miss.) and
several of his domocratlo colleagues to ob
tain consideration for tho bill to revive and
nmend nn net to pfovldo .for the collection
of abandoned property and tho prevention
of frauds In Insurrectionary districts within
(he United States and actB amendatory
thereof. Strong opposition to the bill de
veloped on tho part of Halo (Mo.), Chandler
(N. 11.), Warren (Wyo.) und others.
Halo declared that the bill, It passed,
would subject tho United. States treasury to
a drain of probably (150,000,000.
Money challenged Hale's statement, say
ing that tho bill would take no such amount
from tho treasury; that it lhvolved only
(3,000,000 and that a trust fund, for which
tho measure, provided, was the means of dis
tribution to Us proper owners.
Teller of, Colorado, as a, friend ot tho bill,
urged Money not to press the mcasuro at
this time, as some, furtbor. Information was
needed by tho sonato beforo It, acted upon
tho bill. Tho bill needed amendment, ho
paid, but ho thought It would bo passed
without serious deliy when understood by
tho senate.
Money gave notice that he would call up
tho bill next Wodnosday.
The senate then returned consideration ot
tho Alaskan 'civil code bill, Stowart ad
dressing tho senate on the pending Hans
brough amendment In opposition to nny
change In tho mining laws of thOvUnltcJ
States.
Stewart spoko for almost three hours. Ho
reviewed the mining laws of the Unltel
States to iho extent that they related to
allenn' rights In the Alaskan gold fields. He
dtfended tho rights of the Laplanders,
Swedes and Norwegians who had entitel
milling claims In the Cape Noma dlHrlct.
Nelson followed Stewart, also sustaining
tho rights of the no-called aliens who had
located tho mining claims In question.
Hansbrough Interrupted Nrleon to read a
paragraph from a document drawn from the
"Law and Order League' of tho Cape Nonio
district, which declared that tho people
who, Nolson said, bad located the claims,
wore not really the locators of tho claims,
In ronly Nolson said that the tlmo had
come to call things by their corrc:l namos.
Ho denounced tho "Law and Order League"
an an organization formed to Jump claims
located by honest prospectors. Continuing,
Nelson paid tho locators In the Cape Nome
dUtrlct were all cither declared citizens ot
tho United States or people who honestly
had Intended to becomo citizens of Hhe
United States. Ho declared there was no
reafon In equity, Justice or common socso
why nny dcscrltnlnatloti should bo made
against tho Swedes, Norwegians and Laps.
Tho "lAvt and Order League,"-ho said, had
attempted to drive thtfaeT pcoplo from th1
Cape Nomo .district and bad been prevented
from doing so only by tho United Stntei
military forces, i As n rcMllt tho "league"
had asked the removal of tht commander of
the Unltfd States troop In that rt'strlct.
Tho proposition reduced to Its ultlmato an
aljsls was simply ono to fortify claim Junip
ers ns they never hoore had boon fortified.
Tillman of South Carolina agreed with Nel
son that In what he had said of tho rights of
tho Swedes, Norwegians, Laplanders and
Finns and speaking of tho Hansborough
amendment said thnt "senators ought to'tako
II by tho nape of tho neck and kick It out ot
the senate."
Carter of Montnna mndo an earnest and
forcoful appeal to tho senato that the
American miner either nntlvo horn or
properly naturalized should havo tho first
claims upon tho mining land ot tho United
States. He said in tho courso of his re
marks that he had ho dcslro to'chnngo tho
mining Ihws, but Intimated that Mr. teller
of Colorado and others were trying to change
them.
In a heated reply Teller declared that Car
ter "under n protendei' zeal for the Ameri
can miner" had attempted to shift upon
him tho responsibility of a desire to change
tho mining laws of the United States.
"I resent that statement," Interjected
Cnrtor, and was about to explain further
when Teller declined to yield. Tho Colo
rado Benntor said nobody had proposed nrty
change of tho mining laws except Hans
brough and Carter, who by their proposed
legislation wero protecting tho scalawags
nnd scoundrels nnd blacltmnllcrh who were
making a business of Jumping claims.
"Theso people," declared Teller, with em-
phusls, "aro blackmailers or thieves, and
slnco mining was begun In this country thoy
havo been the curso of every mining camp.
They nro among tho worst scoundrels that'
over went unhung."
Without further debate the Alaskan bill
was laid aside. Tho senate, at C:15, went
Into executive session, and at C;25 p. m.
adjourned.
During the morning session Hale reported
from commltteo On naval affairs a Joint reso
lution drawn originally by Mason ot Hit-,
nols, authorizing tho. secretary of the navy I
to have struck bronza medals for dlstrlbu-i
tlon among certain ofllcers and men ot the .
North Atlantic squadron, commemorating
naval engagements between tho forces of
Spain and the United States In tho waters'
of the West Indlcu and off the Cuban coast.
The measure, which appropriates (2C.O0O,
was adopted.

that many of the existing officers' aro officers

"Tho selection of the new officers nnd tho

On motion of Senator Foraker tho message
