Gormaa Editor Thinks Brltlsh-Japa-'
neae Alliance la rt factor.
BERLIN. March 11. William Oruno, efll- 1
tor of Pie Qreniboten of Letpslc, In analys- :
Ing the play of International Interests In
the far east, says the late field marshal.
Von ' Waldersee. after his return from
China, often talked with bis closa friends
on . the certainty that thetTptted States
would have a leading role there. HIS
solicitude for the, future Interests of Ger
many was also connected with the United
States' position In' tar eastern affairs.
Herr Grunow . does not 'say where Von
Waldersee's utterances and the editor's
begin, but the article continues:
The United States' altitude toward Japan
Is understandable because of her commercial
relation with Japan and Munriiurla and by
reason of her aspiration to the hegemony
of the Pac'fle. If the I'nited Stau
nh.iuld maintain Its claims to predominance
In the Pacific It must reckon with Japan
either as a friend or nn enemy.. For thti
moment the United States' Interests require
friendly relations with Japan, taking Intel
consideration the United strength of the
American navy and the exlste-.ee of the
Hiitlsb-Jriranese alliance, for tne time this
nllianre will check American hegemony on
the Asiatic side of the Pacific.
Tlie editor regards an Amerlcan-Brltlsh-Japanese
alliance a possibility.

sion to secuie the pas.ieu ot a new law
raising the eianuma of oil in this stat.
After we tin a gotten the bill through the
houae I leameu that Ldwaru Churcn, one
of my deputies, was woralng against the
bill and that he was otten In c .nferenre
with the oil agents on the matter. Ac in
on this Inforiuiition, I addressed the fal
lowing official letter to the governor:
"t wish to Inform you that Deputy In
spector Edward Church has b-en wo klnr
and talking agalnft the b,ll framid by ih.s

oil for our stute. It Is apparent that he in

thst he I using argumnts tfrpnre,1 by
them. It sfems to me that he Is show
ing disloyalty - to this department and tr
the best Interests of the ftate and that It
would be for the good of the service to
cn'l ffir his rrs'gnatlon."
For severs! days I awnlted the p'eaure

and It received the executive rlgra

Church remained In office, however.
Then follows a recital of the controversy
over the oil condemned by, Hays at Blue
Hill and the subseqjent permleslm given
by Church, his successor, to sell the en me
on the ground that It wss shipped prior to
the passage of tho law.

101 e pasing juagment 1 submit tbe fol
lowing statement: ,
'ihe new iaw raising the teat of Illuminat
ing oil from low IU dtsieen became afTeo
Uve April 10, 1W3. J. ri. Hays was enmf
on Inspector at that time.
It Is a generally accepted principle that
wheh a new law Is passed aifectlng goods
In transit a reasonable time should be
given the shipper In which to conform his
shipments to the new order. Mr. J. E.
Hays recognised this principle. -
It was nut until April 14, four days after
the' law went Into effect, that Mr. Hay
notified the Standard Oil company of the
higher teat required, showing that he was
In no particular hurry to serve notice.
As laio as April 27, two weeks after the
JaW went Into effeot, he passed a. ear of
oil that tested bat-lot degress and between
April 10 nnd. April 27 he passed n-lost
than thirteen cars of oil that fell from-two
to nine detrreea. below the new test. Mr.,
Hays did this on his own motion. In recog
nition of the faot that the oil was in
trintil at Ihtt tflm ttiA nw law w.nt Into
Sffect and that it Would be iM unWarrramfed
hardship on the shipper to compel them to
recall said - oil. '
A few daws Drtor to ADrll 2t i down know
f?lie exact -date, four cars more of nil were
received In Nebraska from the Standard
OH company which did not quite come up
to the new test. Mr. Hays drew the line
on them and refused to paas them. They.
tested from 107 to 110. Irom Seven to ten
degrees higher than the old law required.
Mr. 'Ruth,, tne agent er tne Htanaara uu
company, came down from Omaha to see
alout the matter. On April 29 he and
Mr. Hays came Into my office to talk It
over. " "
. Applies Rale of Equality.-
Mr. Ruth admitted that he had received
Mr. Hays' letter 01 Ainu 1 notifying him
of the raise ot the test, lie said be noti
fied tne company In Chicago by letter, and
tney 111 turn nounea the lennery at ruin
ing, lnd -This process of noiiliuatlon of
corns-; consumed a little time. The last
ot these four cars was billed from Whit
ing on April ui. By Inquiring into the
laets 1 learned xhat at Whiting the com
pany has miles of tracas on which It con-
uuutiy Keeps nunareas or curs 01 on
oaiieu and ready tor shipment. Mr. Ruth
postively assured me that the lour cars
in question had left .the rehnery before
the notice was received and ' were either
actually In transit or were standing on
1 ho sialna. ready to Dull out. A careiui
consideration of all the facts Involved led
me to believe that Mr. Ruth was stating
the circumstances as they were and Mr.
Have had no conclusive evidence to tne
contra! y. In fact, Mr. Hays own acts in
passing numerous cars or oil up to April
ii, lor the reasons already stated, were
directly in line with my own action In
ordering that these four cars be passed.
air. i-tays delayed tne operation or tne
law from Aorll 10 to Aurll 27. I almply
delayed the operation two days longer and
lur exactly tne same reasons. nne 1
could have Ordered the four cars out of
the state. It seemed to me that such a
coarse, under all the circumstances! would
be little and narrow. It should be remem
bered that the four cars tested from seven
to ten degrees above the old test and were
but slightly under the new. I was prompted
by no . consideration for the Standard Oil
company as a company, but only by a
sense of fulrness. It cannot be argued
that the rejection or .the passing of these
cars wniibl make any particular difference
to the company. It was simply a question
of equity, ss I viewed It, and I acted ac
cordingly. Neither the Standard Oil company nor
any other oil company has shown any dis
position to evade the requlrments of the
new law and since the four cars In contro
versy were disponed of iut a single car
of illuminating oil has been shipped into
this state that did not c6me up ta the new
test
' Mr. Hays, In bis circular, states that
Edward Church, at that time a deputy
oil Inspector, worked against the new in
spection law, while the matter wh being
considered by the legislature. He adilresed
a letter to me making such a charge. I in
Vestlstited the matter and found there
was nothing In the allegation. Upon thla
pnlnt 1 submit these facts:
The bill Massed the senate by a vote of
16 to 5. The bill passed th house by a
Vote of 74 and sot a single vote against.
- This would Indicate, that no particular
work was done against the measure, and
that no sT"i'!al work In Its favor was nec
essary. The legislature was practically
unanimous. Mr. Hays Int'matM that he
labored most strenuously for the hill, but
my observation Is that It passed In spite
r-1 blm rather than because of his ef
fective Resistance.
. Ckasgt Antedates Coafereaec.
I hav already stated that Mr. Ruth,
Mr. Hsys and myself had a conference
regarding the four cars of oil, tn my office
on AprlT 29. On thit same day, some
hours prior to the conferencn and entirely
without reference te it, I appointed Edward
Church chief oil Inspector, said sppolnt
trent to becorie effective May 1 following.
The appointment was made, the commis
sion was wrl ten up end signed by my
self prior to the conference which Mr.
Hays alleges determined his rejection as
an sppllcant for. reappointment, but the
announcement of suld appointment hsd rot
ben made to the press
The appointment of Mr. Church ttn that
particular day was merely a coincidence.
The conference above referred to hid
no bearing upon It In any wnv. shape vr
form. Neither the Standard till comnanv
nor any other oil company ever sugsesied
to me In any manner whatever tne slight
est Intimation or any Interest In the ap
pointment of chief nil Insrector. Not a
single word, written or spoken, ever passed
between myself and anv representative ot
any oil company regarding the matter. I
did not reappoint Mr. Hay and I did sp
rxilnt Mr. Church tecause 1 wanted to.

constitution and laaa of the state rr N
tiraska confer upon me te Privilege f

iled In any particular
tne ay on
one hut Mr. Hays seems to queetlon my
sol" right of appointment.
As a matter of fart, Mr. Hays knew that
he wss not going to be resppotnted, though
not because I had specifically told him
anything about It one way or tb other.
He told numerous people that he knew he
was not going to be reappointed. . that
nls "name was Lennle'! aad he made
numerous thrents as to what he would do
to "Governor Mickey" If he let him out.
Air. rtnys was not misled in an
On the morning of March 25,
which the new law passed the senate, Mr.
Hays telephoned to Mri, Ruth, the agent
of the Standard Oil company, that the bill
wnuld come up for psssnge In the senate
that morning, giving him (Ru'h warring

Why did Mr. Hays do that? Mr. Hays
was presumably working for the bill... Mr.
Ruth was mre Interested than nny other
man In Its defeat. Whv d'd Mr. Hays sek
to nut a clnh In the hands of Mr. Ruth?
The conversation nbnve referred to was
overheard and can be verified by Witness,
laslats Hays "Was Short.
When Mr.' Hayg relthquished the. office of
chief oil Inspector he was short ln his ac
counts. At my Instigation mjrlrhtaf clerk

bers cf tbn bouse. The houae minority
demand for a sweeping Investigation of
every branch of the Postodlce department
was not granted. The test on-this ques
tion came on a vote which resulted 144 to
125, a strict party vote.
Pandemonium reigned for several minu et
when William Alden Smith (Mich.) con
demned every executive department of the
government for Its arrogant treatment of
the only branch' of the government In di
rect touch' with the people of the country,
the-house of representatives, and shouted
out the name of Speaker Cannon for' pres
ident of the United States.
, Mr. Cowherd CMo.) defended the acUon of
the committee presenting tho report. There
was no occasion, he said, to refer the
matter to the committee to see whether
the ehargeev . against members .had. been
made., The report of General nristow had
gone out- with the approval' of the prosi
i4"ra.--.'li.i v..f .(. -; . .
Mr,4Alden Smith Jumped, to his feet. a,nd,
'hoiaing'Vcofy "of, iheje.pfcrt' In h)s hand,
called attention tb thV; words "White
House" on It - ' '
He had, he said, examined the original
papers and ' the wors ' "White House"
wertt-not on them. "I would like to know,"
ho asked, with considerable warmth, "who
has 'the' audacity ' to write the name
'w-h-l-t-e' In that report:"
,"The committee on postofflces and post
roads ' never added a word," answered
Mr. Cowherd, smarting under the Imputa
tion. "Somebody did," said Mr. Smith, with
equal warmth.
ta.ll It Mallrlous Slander.
"WeU. it was done In the dep:irtment,
then,". Mr. Cewlierd replied, amid applause.
Mr. Cowherd then .entered upon a vigor
ous and . emphatic answer to the charges
and. epithets which members bad hurled
at the, department.
, Thq American people are not hysterical.
In (ha f)rst flush and heat of this discus
sion,., he deplared, nnd before the facts
reach these great papers, editorials may be
published that never ought lo find a place.
In .the press of the country, but when thcyf
have an opportunity to examine the facts
they will exculpate every man who did only
his duty, but no man who did what was
not his duty ought to be exculpated. "I
say here and now," he continued, "that the
sunlight of publicity never hurts an honest
man or an honest administration."
There was loud applause at this remark.
Mr. Klutts (N. C), In demanding an In
vestigation of the department, said: "What
Is more deteatublo than the' byena In hu
man form, who' would tear aside the sepul
chre, of the dead and sock to besmirch and
befoul an honorable reputation T"
This remark was brought out because, In
cluded among the names mentioned In the
report was that of tho late Representative
Moody of North Carolina.
Payae Is Criticised.
Mr. Clayton (Ala.) wa unsparing In his
criticism of Postmaster General Payne, to
whom he referred to as "that distinguished
imbecile who happens to be postmaster gen
eral tf the United States."
Mr. Clayton spoke of the Tullock charges
and the light way In which Postmaster
General Payne treated them. When mem
bcrs of congress called on him about It,
Mr. Clayton said, the department laughed.
When further pressed for Information, he
suld. the. postmaster general, "that distin
guished specimen of asslnlnlty," character
ized the Tulloch charges us "hot air."
Clayton -closed with a bitter personal at
tuck on Postmaster General Payne and re
ferred to blm as "Mr. Hut AJr Man" and
a "horse laughter man" who had been pub
licly convicted, but continued lu office by
the president for the "distinguished service
Ire rendered the country in securing the
conviction Of Muchcn und his confederates."
He wanted, he said, to "rip open the whole
Htomach of the postoftlce and show the
vitals of corruption." lie was greeted with
loud applause aa he took his seat.
Bomb OTltb Fuse to It.
Mr. Calderhead (Kan.) xald the president
and the postmaster general had chaiged
him with making a corrupt contract with
Deavers. "They shall not do It," he said,
"without my protest, here or anywhere "
He could not, he said, approve of a ret ort
which ml fed the names of honorable men
with those of criminals.
Mr. Uurkett (Neb.) denounced the sug
gestion that he had unlawfully obtains 1
increase for posloftlces. He charged that
"somebody had bundled up a mass of stuff
Iq a huphasurd way, and the committee
has sprung It as a bomb with a (use to
It." He demanded an Investigation..
Mr. Bwanaon (Va-) Instated that every
member of the bousa, whether he was men
tioned in the report or not, owed It tu
himself, to Insist oa lite fulleet lavrt g llju
