fosed upon mo by their action with what
then felt, was thc.t fullest appreciation of
tho responsibilities thereby Imposed. Now,
after two years of experience with me, tho
same, distinction Is ngnln bestowed upon mo
by this 'ca.ij.cus. I nssuro you I appreciate
,the honor dono mo at this tlmo morn
'keenly and profoundly. If possible, than
before, because 1 can look at It as some
thing of an endorsement of my efforts,
though they may have been coble to servo
tho party In the position which they placed
me, and now I realize moro than I did
then tho responsibilities you hnvo com
mitted to me. My best effortH shall bo put
forth to hnvo the minority on tho floor oil
the house acquit Itself In such manner as
to command the. respect and conlldcnco not
only of our own party, but of tho country
it large.
.skn for Co-Dprriitlnii.
I nsk, and hnvo tho right to ask, of each
of you tho fullest nnd heartiest co-operation
and support nt nil times, nnd I am
uro I will huvo It, for In no other way can
I hope for success. I shall not attempt hero
nnd now to discuss or lay down nny prin
ciples by which wo nro to bo governed as
a party. It would not bo npproprlato for
me to do so. Thero Is ono thing, howovcr,
that I will say now at tho very beginning
of our service, becatiso I believe It Is proper
that It should bo said. It Is this: I urge
upon you nnd each of you tho surpassing
Importance of ntteiullng the. sessions of the
house. We havo n minority consisting of
nbout 1C0 members. If ovury member or

bad laws. The country will, when the ses

action and conduct of the majority side of
the house, but also of tho minority side,
nnd If wo have acted wisely and patriotic
ally wo will place our party In the posi

victory In the congressional elections of
.next year, and a still greater triumph In the
'national election of 1CKM.
Opiiime KiNtlng- Tnrlff.
Thn interesting portion of tho caucus fol
lowed. Iloprosentatlvo McClellan of Now
York, nt tho direction of tho democratic
members of tho N6w York delegation, who
had met Just prior to the assembling of
tho caucus, offered the following resolution
ns an expression of tho caucus;
Resolved, That we shall promote to the
utmost of our power tho removal of the
oppressive, restrictive nnd often prohibi
tory features of tho existing tnrlff. It has
been truly declared to bo the mother of
trusts. The tendency to croate combina
tions of wealth, establishing practically
monopolies In the manufacturing nnd com
mercial Industries of tho United Status,
threatens the future existence of individual
manufacturers and merchants and trades
men! of moderato or small means.
That tho tendency must undermine tho
sturdy Independcncn of large bodies of
American citizens, and may well bo deemed
I tho most serious mennca to the moral nnd
political welfare of tho country. Tho tlmo
nns come when out Industries, manufac
turing as well ns ngrlculturnl, which prnc
tlcnlly enjoys no "protection" for the rea
son that tholr products arc exported and
because, whether or not. duties be levied In
their favor, no competing products can bo
protltahly Imported, should bo permitted to
avail themselves of foreign markets to the
fullest extent, an thoy cannot do under
existing restrictions. Highly protected In
dustries should be no longer permitted to
ll moro chenply than to their own coun
trymen. Kit and thorough relief cau bo
find only by un amendment of tho present
Krlff net. Hut we shnll favor such reci
procity treaties as will reduce, even If they
do not altogether remove tho unfair nnd
oppressive burden of tho present system.
Cmn in ere I ill Liberty for t'uhs,
1 We shall favor Just and generous treat
ment of the Inhabitants of I'nrto ftlco nnd
Cuba. American obligations to Cuba should

sented at the Inst session, ns calculated to
create a shipping monopoly.
4, We shall oppose tho use In nny form of
tho money of all tho people for the ex
clusive benefit of prlvnto Interests.
0. Wo shall Insist on the sacred force of
the fundamental American rule of demo
cratic self-government. Whatever protec
torate over newly acquired Is'nnai or
totally conquered peoples mny bo necessary
for a longer or a shorter tlmo, whatever
limited sites for nnvnl stntlons mny prop
erly be gained or nciiulrcd, wo nro opposed
to nny Incorporation Into our republic of

over them, except as their Inhabitants may
be titled for such self-government ,nnd ex
rcpt ns tho protection of our constitution,
no less thnn of our Hag, may bo extended
to them with safety to ourselves. Wc are
opposed to the establishment of any
coioniai or oiner system wnerony tno ex
ecutive or military power of tho United
Slates may permanently rule masses of
men nutsldo the sanctions and safeguards
of the constitution. Wherever the United
States has assumed obligations they must,
no doubt, bo fully met, but with the stead
fast Intention nt the earliest practicable
moment to nccord to the peoples of other
lands now In our power the same right of
self-government which wo claim for our
selves. Itcsiiliilloiix I'll tine n Himt.
The presenting of this resolution pre
cipitated a row. Mr. Richardson attempted
to prevent the reading of It by a motion
to refer all resolutions to a special com
tnltteo of twelve, who should report at a
futurn caucus, but his motion was ruled out
of order, pending tho reading of tho resolu
tion. When tho reading was concluded Mr.
lltill of Texan gnvo notice that ho would
offer the Kansas City platform as a sub
stitute and withdraw tho report of Mr.
Fitzgerald of New York nnd Mr. McDer
molt of New Jursoy, both of whom pro
tested n grain st tho Injection of tho financial
Issue Into tho democratic councils. "We
can nover win," declared Mr. Fltzgcrnld.
"If wo do not discard tho heresy of free
silver."
"We can never win," retorted Mr. Hall,
"unless men ending themselves democrats
support tho national platform of tho dem
ocratic party."
After further sharp exchanges Mr.
ntch.trdsnn succeeded In quelling tho dis
turbance by renewing his motion to refer
all resolutions to a special committee of
twelve, to bo appointed by the chairman
of the caucus. This motion prevailed. The
following resolutions wero then Intro
duced: Hy IUprosontatlvo Flnley of South Caro
lina: Stny by 1'lntiorm.
Resolved. That Hon. Jnmes D. Richard
son nnd the democratic members of the
houso committee on rules, when appointed,
nnd thrco members to bo appointed by
them constltttto n committee, to have In
chnrgo the control and direction of the
policy of tho democratic party In the house
of representatives, except ns ordered by u
caucus of tho party.
Hy Mr. Hurletjou of Texas:
Rcsolvod. That every representative In
lccngrean participating In this caucus shall
bo governod by the action of said caucus
.'whore same does not conflict with the dec-
I laratlon of principles and policies set forth
In tho last platform adopted by the demo
cratic party In national convention nssem-
1 bled.
' Resolved, That the best Interests of tho
(democratic party will be subserved bv tho
1 membership of said party In congress re
j fralnlng from soliciting patronage at tho
bands of tint administration.
Must Not Tamper with Vol lien.
Hy Representative Fitzgerald of New
York:
Resolved, That wc oppose nny Interfer
ence with the existing stnndard of values.
That question bus been settled by repeated
nnd overwhelming expressions of popular
sentiment, and must be dellnltclv closed
by tho statutory recognition of gold as tlm
sole standard. The democracy of New York
has the very greatest respect for their
brethren who for many years sought the
establishment of a blmctnlllc standard.
Hut the Interests of capital and labor alike,
nnd above nil tho Interests of tliu wugu
earners of tho country forbid that tho legal
standard of vnluo bo endangered by uncer
tainty. Hy Representative Newlands of Nevada
Resolved, That an ndvlsory committee be

each state selected by tho democratic dele
gation of such state of which the lender

GIVES REASINS FOR JENKINS' REMOVAL
Improper Connection with Contrnet
Hot u crn (lie Territory nntl Okln
liomit Mnnltiirliitu Coin-,
lis nr.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. The president
today appointed Thimas 11, Ferguson gov
ernor of Oklahoma, vltc William Jenkins,
removed.
In tnklnn this action the president at
tached to the papers tho following memo
randum: Governor Jenkins of Oklnhonm Is hereby
removed bejause of his Improper connec
tion with n contract between tho territory
nnd the Oklahoma Sanitarium compnny.
Tne decision Is based purely upon his own
written statements, nnd his oral explana
tions of them at tho limit hearliiK.
One of the duties of the territorial gov
ernor Is to enter Into a contract with
person or corporation for the keepliiK of
the Insane of the territory. Governor Jen
kins made such a contract with tho Okla
homa .Sanitarium company, a. corporation
the promoters of which reserved J10.0OO of
Its stock for tho Kovernment and subject
to Its order. The Kovcrnor told the pro
moters of the corporation nt tho time they
desired him to sanction tho contract he lid
so becnusn ho had somo friends In the
corporation to whom ho owed some politi
cal obligations, which ho wna unable to re
pay otherwise.
Tho stock was delivered to a banker, sub
ject to tho governor's order, and wns
turned over to these friends, whoso polit
ical services the Rovornor thus sourtht to
reward. Tho extent oC the favor to tho
Kovernor or to his friends Is siiKRested hy
the fact that the only known sale of tho
stock since the contract wns (riven out
wi's nt double the prlcu paid for It.
('lll'Vll'leil ll.V 'llllfONNloil.
As performance of the contract wns to
be the sole business of tho corporation. It
N obvious either that the territory Wli
obllRnted to pnj far more than tho service
wns worth or that Its helplexs wnrds wero
to have their enormous profits contem
plated tnken out of their keep. The kov
ernor's confessed relations to the matter
disclose such nn entire lack of apprecia
tion of the hlKh fiduciary nature of the
duties of his otllee as to unfit him for their
further discharge.
A sound rule of public policy nnd morals
forbids a public servant from sceklnu or
accepting nny personal boneilt In n trani
actlou wherein hu has a public duty to
perform.
A chancellor would not for one moment
retain a trustee, who. In dealing for tho
trust, reserved an udvantaKC to himself.
The thutiKht Is not to bp tolerated that the
president can bo less vigilant and exnclitiK
In the public's Interest.
THHODOIti: nOOHKVKI.T.
Thomas It. Kerfiiison of Watonsa, Okl.,
went to Oklahoma In 1SS9 and. settled on a
claim ut Wntonga when the Cheyennu
country, In which It was located, was
opened to settlement In 1891. He has con
ducted a newspaper there continuously
since. He was recently nppolntcd post
master nt Watonga. He Is about 40 years
old, was educated In Kansas, left college
as a minister In tho Christian church. For
four years ho haB been chairman of the
republican territorial committee.
CHAIR IS HENDERSON'S
(Continued from First Page.)
bo adopted temporarily for forty days, at
tho end of which time they should bo placed
before the houso for consideration. Ho
made a very earnest argument In favor of
this temporary action. In the courso of
which ho pointed out four material changes
which he believed should bo made In tho
rulca ns they have existed for several con
fesses. Ono of these was to provide that
tho right of recognition, now lodged In
the speaker, should be given to the first
mcnlber arldreislng tho chair; tho second
was to provide for four suspension dnys
a month Instead of two; the third was to
provldo for the revival of the old "morn
ing hour" ns It existed before tho first
congress of which Mr. ltced was speaker,
nnd tho fourth was to provide that senate
amendments to house bills should bo sub
ject to tho same points of order to which
they would bu subject had tho amendments
originated In the house.
SiienUrr'n Latitude Too Wlilr.
Mr. Hepburn contended that the present
rules gave the speaker entirely too much
power nnd In the courso of his remarks
mndo tho point that thcro was nothing
In the constitution which required that the
presiding officer chosen by tho house should
be n member of thnt body.
Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania replied nt
considerable length to Mr. Hepburn's ar
gument, contending that tho present rules
were nn evolution and had worked so ad
mirably In facilitating the transaction of
business that tho democrats, despite, tholr
outcry against them during the Fifty-first
congress, had not dared to materially
modify them when they camo back Into
power In tho Fifty-second congress. Ha
took occasion to score Mr. Hepburn for
harping on the subject of tho rules, saying
sarcastically that ho had enjoyed the
speech of the Iowan nulte as much today
as ho had on former occasions.
Hepburn nnd Dnlxcll Debute.
This roused Mr. Hepburn nnd ho re
torted that If ho (Mr. Hepburn) could
change his position with tho samo facility
that the gentleman from Pennsylvania
could ho would probably bo able to got
more new matter Into his speeches.. The
discussion lasted nbout two hours. Sir.
Shnttuc of Ohio supported tho Dal 7.0 11 res
olution. Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania.! though
generally in fnvor of the old rules, desired
a modification which would take away from
the chairmen of committees tho powor of
controlling time on measures before tho
house. When Mr. Hepburn's motion was
put It was defeated by an overwhelming
vote about 3, to 1. Ho then offered In
succession as distinct amendments tho four
modifications of tho rules which ho had
suggested In his argument. The.se were
In turn voted down. The highest vote
which any of them received was forty-one.
No question of policy wng broached at the
caucus today.

The Holiday Furniture Sales
t
The great increase in our Novembe r sales, the highest records being far surpassed and
the number of pieces that have been put away for Christmas delivery show conclusively that
Christmas lists are being filled early this year.
One conspicuous feature of this Fall's business has been the enormous number of hereto,

The great reductions in our prices under our new plan, and the very completeness of

PARIS, Nov. 30. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) A suit now
In court hero will Interest Amorlcans. It Is
tho caso of Mrs. Lowthor, n dashing, well
known Callfornlan, against her divorced
husband to regain possession of nine dogs.
Mrs. Iiwther marrlel In Paris eight years
ago. Sho also secured a divorce hero. Sho
and her husband wero equally attached to
their poodles, each declaring life not worth
living without thorn. At tho tlmo of the
separation tho wife had tho dogs, but after
ward tho husband organized a successful
kidnaping expedition, henco the legal pro
ceeding. After listening to the facts tho Judge
remarked to ono of tho nttornoys; "If I
am not mistaken theso peuplo do not fight
for the possession of their children: it's
dogs wo aro sjlcaklng of?"
"Yes. your honor," answered the lawyer.
"How many animals are there, all told?"
asked' tho Judge.
"Nine," was tho answer.
"My," exclaimed tho Judge, "can't I
give them four nnd n half aplcco?"
Decision was reserved for n fortnight.
Viscountess Trcdorn, whoso Pariu home
on Placo Vendomo and seaside resldenco at
Dlnard havo long been famous as tho swell-

to set aside Henry Say's will. Say was her
brother. Ho disapproved of her llght
heartedness and left to her no part of his
$6,000,000. Tho vIscountrtR' defeat was ag
gravated by tho court's decision that sho
must pay thn costs of the suit, which
amounted to a fortuno In themselves.
Thero is still another Franco-American
case, thnt of Vanderbllt against I-a Orangf.
Neither party was present at tho trial, both
being represented by their lawyers.
Vanderbllt's auto collided with I.a

Vanderbllt filed a counter suit for $1,000,
clBlmlng thnt thn collision was the fault
of the owner of the dogcart.
Decision was postponed for two weeks.
