of tho world," he says, "a fact dally be

with a speed that nothing seems ablo to
arrest In territory and In Influence I

However, he proposes a new mission for
tho English-speaking countries and urges
that greater efforts be made to spread the

IllKht to Itctlciv the Aft
of the I.chIIi
tlire. WASHINGTON. April 26.-Almost the en-1
tiro day was devoted to contlderatlon ot
the right of Nathan B. Scitt ot West Vir
ginia to retain his seat. Pettus, who nlrne
of tho members of the commlttco on privi
leges nnd elections Is opposed to the claim
of Scott to a seat, made on elaborate argu
ment to sustain his views.
Morgan ot Alabama spoke In favor of his
colleague's contention. McComas of Mary
land, Turlcy of Tennessee, Chandler of Now
Hampshire, Teller of Colorado and Allen
of Nebraska supported the resolution de
claring Scott entitled to his zeat. The case
went over without action,
Pettus refused with some heat to permit
an interruption by Spooncr of Wisconsin,
who desired to ask a. question.
I shall not yield tor debate this ques
tion," said tho Alabama senator. "It Is not
fair and It Is not Just for a senator to in
terrupt an argument for the purpose ot see
ing whether ho can debato the question bet
ter than tho man on the floor."
"I think," said Spooncr, "It would have
been courteous In tho senator to have as
sumed that I desired simply to ask a ques
tion." HcfiiscM to He Interrupted.
"Oh, no," returned Pottus, "It would not
be; I havo heard tho senator debate posi
tions after asking questions. I took a
necessary precaution. I do not approve of
this practice of Interrupting arguments. I
bellcvn that a senator has a right to
Interrupt nnothcr to obtain Infqrran.tJon cr
to correct misstatements as the senator
from Maryland Interrupted me, but this way
of Just bulging Into the mlddlo of an argu
ment Is excessively bad manners even If It
docs so often occur In tho United States
senate." (Laughter.)
Pettus analyzed tho work In the legis
lature, declaring ot It:
"The debauchery of such infernal pro
ceedings cannot bo too strongly character
ized. It Is a borrlblo state of affairs, yet
wo aro told that the United Stole's senate
cannot examine Into a fraud like that."
He pointed out that at ono point of the
proceedings Scott needed Just ono more
vote. "There are some very soiart people
In West Virginia," said ho, "and they went
immediately to tho bargain counter."
Further along Pettus sharply criticised the
action of the governor of West Virginia
for entertaining the case of Scott. "It
makes mo sick," said he, "that the governor
of a state should get down Into the mud
and dirt of a vile case llko this, and from
his actions I should think they needed civil
servlco In Charleston."
"How about Alabama7" Inquired Elklns
facetiously.
"I'm not discussing Alabama now." re
plied Mr. Pettus. "But tho senator's pic
ture is in this thing, too. Don't get Im
patient; I'll get to you after a while,"
(Laughter.)
An lnvcstlnntlon Wnnted.
Pettus maintained that tho case had been
fnlrlv investigated by tho privileges and
elections committee. In conclusion ho
moved that tho report and resolution In tho
case of Scott be referred to the' commlttco
on privileges .and' elections', wlfti Instruc
tions to Invest gate tho case 'thorougniy.
Turley ot Tennesaco Baia uihb h memuci
of tho committee on privileges nnd elec
tions ho had Investigated the case thor
ouehlv and ho planted himself squarely on
the majority report of tho committee. He
maintained that Pettus' contention that the
ssnate had authority to Inquire into tne
membership of the legislature was not sound
and would bo subversive of many of tho
rhorlshed Drlnclnlcs of the democratic
party.
Chandler, chairman of tho committee on
nrlvlleees nnd elections, presented an ex
planation of the agreement cuiereo. imo uy
tho republican and democratic legislators
In West " Virginia, and declared It was
hnnpst nnd ncrfectly fair. Ho held, with
Tnrlev. that the eenato had no right to In
vestigate the action of tno legislature in
.wtinn tahps. McComas declared that no
ohm-BOH nf a definite character had been
Tirflnented to the committee against Mr,
smtt and tho case against him was " With
out hnttnm or sides."
Allen held that the United States senate
could not review any of tho actions of the
West Virginia legislature, oven tno oiecuon
f United States senator, and Teller took
tv,n .m nnnltlon. The caso then went
over until tomorrow.

This decision 'Is'the result of proceedings
covering a period1 of nearly flvo months. The

WASHINGTON, April 26. Scnor Corea,
the Nlcaraguan minister hero, has made an
emphatic denial of tho story that Nicaragua
has any hostile denlgns upon Costa Rica and
especially that the David expedition was
In any senso a government enterprise. Be
cause ot the reiteration In the news dis
patches of rumors to that effect tho minister
had a long conforeneo with Secretary Hay
today and disposed of theiso stories Anally
and completely, Tbo minister says that
Chirlqul; tho point whero tho expedition
landed and made Its way to Dnvld, lies In
northorn Colombia and Is separate from
Costa Rica by au almost Impassable moun
tain range. No one with any military tal
ent, ho says, would seek to make Chirlqul
a base of operations against Costa Rica
It Is truo that tho expedition did sail
from Nicaragua on a Nlcaraguan government
gunboat, but the minister claims his gov
ernment had no knowledge of the departure
of the expedition. A number of Colombians,
he Bays, among them refugees, bad taken
up their residence In Nicaragua. Some
of them woro men of ability, and
the Nlcaraguan government had placed them
In offlsc. Tho leader of the David expedl
tlon was one of these Nlcaraguan office
holders.

araguan government was Ignorant of the
whole proceeding, When tho tug master
returned from Chirlqul and admitted that
ho bad acted without any authorization from
the government ho was prcmptly IraprUoned
by tbo Nlcaraguan government. It was
further stated that tho Colombians went
aboard without arms, that their purpose
was to aid tho revolutionists In the eastern

CHILI REFUSES TO SETTLE
Cause of I'rerent Dlmealty- Iletween
That Coantrj- ami
I'ern.
WASHINGTON, April 26. The present
dispute between Chill and Peru Is a legacy
tbo last war between those two coun
tries about fifteen years ago. One ot the
terms of peace was that the victor, Chill,
should occupy the provinces of Tacna and
Arlca, adjoining the Chilian boundary on
the rtorth, for a period of ten year). At tho
end ot that period tho people of tho
provlnecu were to determlno by tholr voto
whether their lands should remain In the
possession of Chill cr revert to Peruvian
sovereignty. In the- first case Chill was to
pay Peru 10,000,000 silver oolee, while, If the
province wa returned to Peru, tho govern
ment ot that country waa to pay to Chill a
corresponding sum of money. The allega
tion Is now that the treaty provision on
this point was not executed, that there was
no plebiscite and that no money passed.
Because the United State was deeply In
terested in bringing about tho peace which
terminated the bitter war between Chill and
Peru It 1b probably assumed by the Peru
vians 1bat our government likewise retains
an Interest In the faithful execution of the
terms of the treaty. It must, however, be
admitted that up to this time our government
hfut not manifested any particular Interest
In the subject and ha not even received any
application, secret or dtherwlse, from either
f tho parties to intervene at this last phase,
though the reports from South America
seem to indicate a purpose, on tne pari oi
the Peruviana at least, to enlist our ym
pathlcs In their behalf.
