WASHINGTON. Jan. 11-The senate
listened to a debate on Ihe race question
toduy, In which Benator Tillman wss the
principal participant snd Benator Patterson
of Colorado, his opponent. The brought
Into striking contrast the Ideas of the
iiouth and north.
President Roosevelt's action In the
Brownsville matter wan the subject of
discussion. Mr. Tillman held that nothing
was Involved In It except the race question,
and that the administration was responsible
for the growlnf acute condition of the race
question In the south. The president, he
maintained, had encouraged the negro to
assert his equality and then had wrought
vengeance on a whole battalion for follow
ing; that encouragement. He condemned
the president's action In both respects.
Mr. Patterson defended the president's
right to dismiss the troops, hut believed
there might be some grounjl to question
Its policy. He condemned In strong terms
what he regarded as the radical position of
Mr. Tillman and predicted that the extinc
tion of the democratic party In the north
would follow a continuation of such tactics.
The debate occupied four hours and wss
listened to with great Interest by throngs
which filled the galleries, by many mem
bers of the lioiise of representatives who
lined 'the senate chamber, and ' by many
senators.
On several occasions the galleries had to
be warned against applause by the rice
president, who finally threatened to clear
them. No notion was taken bn-the resolu
tion for an Investigation of the Browns
ville affair, but Mr. Fornker gave -notice
that on Monday he' will endeavor to have
it disposed of. '
t'nnsaal Alignment of Senators.
Mr. Tillman prefaced his dlscuson ;of
the question with the characterization that
It resembled a case In court, 'saying:
Certain enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth
regiment Were under Indictment.: The pres
ident of the I'nlted States Is the prosecutor
as well as the executioner. The array of
counsel for the defense and .prosecution is
not yet complete. Bo far as their names
have appeared on the record there Is an ele
ment of Incongruity and of the ridiculous.
For instance, as attorneys aiding the prose
cution we have the distinguished senotor
from Texas (Mr. Culberson), a democrat;
the distinguished senator from Massachu-.
netts (Mr. Lodge),, a republican; the dis
tinguished senator from vlrganla Mr. Dan
iel), a democrat.
And for the defense. If It shall be so con
sidered, when I get through, I will bo put
in the record as aiding the, distinguished
senator from Omaha (Mr Foraker). Of
course, being nothing more than a cornfield
lawyer my contribution to the legal dlMcus
slon of the question will be vary limited;
probably comparatively worthless.
My colleague and brother attorney (Mr.
Foraker) himself realises that so far aa
legal assistance will go he will get llttlo or
no aid from me, and thus far I do not think
he needs any. . , . .
nut tne ridiculousness of the situation Is
again apparent when one considers that the
senator from the north, whose radical and
aggressive utterances and probably his ac
tions In the past once acquired for him the
name of "Fire Alarm," finds himself aligned
with that senator from the south (Mr. Till
man, himself) who Is usually supposed to
have a broiled negro for breakfast;
(laughter) who Is known to Justify lynching
for rape and whose attitude. If not that of
hatred to the negro, Is a feeling akin to It.
In the belle that White men are made of
better clay and that white men alone are
entitled to participate In government. And
so this alliance ia an odd one.
President's Order noted.
Declaring that President Roosevelt was
more responsible "than any other man,'
Mr. Tillman read from order No. 28 issued
by the War department February 8, 1'jOJ,
and slngned by the president, as follows:
The uniform of the enlisted man Is a
badge of honor. It entitles to peculiar
consideration; It shows that Iri the great
majority of cases he hus learned thos
habits of self-command. ' of self-restraint,
of obedience and of fearlessness in the
face of danger which put him above most
of his fellows who have not possessed
similar privileges. To strive to discriminate
against . him in any waj is literally in
famy, for it is In reality- ene of the most
serious offenses which can be committed
against the stability and greatness of ou.
nation.
"This la the milk in the cocoanut," ejacu
lated Mr. Tillman, who said It was tills
"sort of stuff" that put Into ths heads of
the negro soldier that he was entitled to
demand social equality.
At this point Mr. Tillman was Interrupted
for the first time, Senator Nelson asking:
'"Would you deny. those privileges to white
soldiers T"
"I will go as far as any man In giving'
white men, either soldiers or cltiens, their
Tights,', answered Mr. Tillman.
"Why should not the colored soldier, If
he conducts himself as a white soldier,
have the same consideration?" persisted
VI r. Nelson.
"For the simple reason that God Al
mighty, made him colored. He ' did not
'make him- white," retorted Mr. Tillman.'
who added that caste feeling was uni
versal; that It pulsated even In the bosom
it the senator from Minnesota (Mr. Nelson).
' LnwPolnts Rnlsed. '
Mr. Tillman held that It was contrary
to the fundamental principles of liberty of

The attitude of Ihe administration In

The conditions are growing more and

statesmanship of our time Inadequate to
cope with this question Just as the states
manship of I860 failed to prevent dire
catastrophe of civil war? That war was
fought to settle the race question, but
forty years after its termination we find
conditions more threatening In some of
their sapects than they were In 1M1. It Is
not possible for me to believe that the
theorists and sentimentalists at the north
who are responsible for the conditions ex
isting will be allowed to pursue their policy
of absolute recognition of race equality
much further. The question is not a local
or sectional one. except so far as the
negroes are nearly ail at the south, while
at the north there are comparatively few
of them. It Is high time something was
being done to have this great and vital
question brought before the country In
some practical and sensible way.
The deep Interest shown In the Browns
ville tragedy is ample evidence that the
people of the country are beginning to feel
a deep concern In the various phases of
this question, and It is absolutely useless
for doctrinsres and politicians to under
take to pooh-pooh the question and dismiss
It with a wave of she hand. For one. I
am ready to go to battle under the slogan,
"America for the Americans and this is a
white man's country and white men must

Reply by Seaator Patterson.
Senator Patterson followed, announcing
his belief that the president had the legal
right to tske the action he had but he be
lieved the wisdom or propriety of that ac
tion might be open to question. He had no
doubt the president was moved by the high
est motives and said thst the assertion
by Senator Tillman- that the president was
moved by race prejudice was unjust. He
said the, Booker Washington luncheon dis
proved such an assertion. Mr. Patterson
gave his reason for speaking that he did
not by his silence wish to be held to en
dorse the sentiments on the race question
Just expressed.
The senate In the next session, he said,
would have but two democratic senators
from the north and It waa his belief that
a short time la ths future would see the
political dividing line completely drawn be
tween the north and south.
It was such speeches aa had Just bees
delivered, he said, that would hasten this
condition. Mr. Tillman, he said, was not
alone in advocacy of repealing ths four
teenth and fifteenth amendments. Gover
nors Vardaman of Mississippi and Hoks
Smith of Georgia had made the same dec
larations The repeal of the constitutional
provisions would result m a practical re
turn to peonage for the negro.
Mr. Patterson concluded his speech by

he was not assailing ths people of the

better element in the South held no such
radical views as had been expressed and
that those who held the radical views were
few In number. To support this, he read
extracts from the utterances of educational
leaders and the clergy of the south express
ing the Idea that the way to solve the race
question was to build up and recognise
the manhood of the negro.
Senator Mallory had Indicated his desire
to discuss the question at the conclusion
of Mr. Tillman's speech and doubtless will
proceed Monday, as Mr. Foraker Indicated
he would call up the Brownvllle resolutions

SHOSHONE LEADER KILLED

TROUBLE AMONG INDIANS IS FEARED
Abandonment of Fort Washakie Max
Be Signal for War Between
Tribes of ghoshoaes
and Aranahoes.
DENVER, Jan. 12. A News special from
Lander, Wyo., says: George Terry, head
of the Shoehone Indian council, was mur
dered Thursday night as he came out of
the council lodge on the Indian reservation,
lie was first knocked down with a war
club and his body was then cut to pieces
with knives.
The murder Is supposed to be ths out
come of a family feud. No arrests have
been made, but suspicion points strongly
to several prominent Indians.
Terry was a halfbreed son of the formerly
famous Mormon, Bishop Terry, of Utah.
He was a squaw man and had lived on the
Shoshone reservation for more than twenty-five
years. The're are several factions
among the Indians and,' as Terry's barn
and horses were recently burned by a
mysterious fire, evidently of Incendiary
origin. It Is believed that the crime was
committed by some of them. The pro
posed abandonment of Fort Washakie will,
t is believed by leading cltlsena, result In
grave disturbances among the Indians, who
have been held in restraint by awe of the
soldiers. The Shoshones and Arapahoes are
sworn enemies and are ready to fight at
any moment.
Rev. John Roberts, for thirty years a
missionary among the Shoshones, fears for
the worst when the troops are removed
and the post abandoned. The Shoshones
greatly outnumber the Arapahoes, from
whom they greatly differ In origin, religion
and customs and whom they regard aa
usurpers.

GERMANS IN POLITICS
(Continued from First Page.)
suppose that their strength has lessened
sines the last election. Ths Increase of
population haa added greatly to the ranks
of the clericals and the socialists. This
is apparent for the reason that this In
crease In population haa largely occurred
in the great industrial centers, and this
is where ths socialists and the clericals
are especially strong. The glaring an
omalies which the lapse of years has
brought about in a representation, fixed
In accordance with the distribution of
the population a generation ago, will un
doubtedly prevent the clericals and the
socialists f nfim deriving full advantage
from the Increase of their adherents, but
even this cannot destroy the moral ef
fect of a tremendous vote.
It la not easy to Imagine how any com
bination of groups Is likely to occur
which can add to the real strength of
the government in the eyes of the people,
and for this reason it is apparent that
the government has everything to lose
SUd nothing to gain from anything which
may evolve from the now rapidly ap
proaching elections. Hopes are enter
tained, however, that the supporters of
what Is styled the "national cause"., may
win ths largest number of the seats by
dexterous combinations at the second bal
lots. Perhaps it may, but the results of
the elections fpr the Wurtemberg legis
lature show that this is a game at which
the socialists and the clericals ran play
and win. '
CUMBERLAND "STANDS PAT"
British Dnko Will Not Snrreader His
Right to Throne of
Brnnswlck.
BERLIN, Jan. 12.-(8pcial.)-The duke of
Cumberland has replied to the resolution of
the Brunswick Parliament giving him three
months In which, to declare dlflnltely
whether or not he and all his house would
renounce all claim to the throne of Han
over. In the manifesto, which Is of a compre
hensive nature, he asserts that In view of
precedents to be found In Germany his claim
must be held to be quite consistent with
the most unreserved recognition of the Im
perial constitution. He avers that he will
never attempt to assert ths validity of his
claim in any other than a constitutional
manner. As a German prince he loves his
fatherland devotedly and hoiu-aily and It
would nsver be with his assent that hostile
undertakings were set on foot against the
king of Prussia or the Prussian state. Be
cause the whole world must ba able to trust
la his word, he cannot utter a renunciation
of Hanover. He lays before the people of
Brunswick the question whether It would
benefit ths ducby to be ruled by a prlnoe,

wick. GOLD RESERVE IS NEEDED
London Financier Says the Present
British System Hns Points
of Danger.
LONDON. Jan. 12. (Special. )-8ir Felix
Schuster, in a recent Interview, declared In. f
favor of a special gold reserve of 100.000. I
000. Hs claimed that the Bunk of England ""
held less gold than the French, German
and Austrian state banks or the Russian
and American treasuries. In 1847 the de
posits in the British banks were only 140,-
000,000 and the stock of bullion In ths Bank
of England was about 170,000,000. At the
present time the deposits were about
11,000,000 and the stock of gold only $1,-
000.000.
Abroad notes and gold were largely used
by the people and a reserve of gold wss
kept against the notes. In modern Eng
land, however, the use of notes and gold
was to a large extent avoided by banking
facilities. The system was economical, but
had Its dangers, as crises were apt to bring
further calls on the small central stock
of gold, and not to strengthen that reserve
by drawing out additional gold from ths
pockets and ths stockings of the people.
