Nothing to Do With the Treaty.
"The simple roso.ution I have introduced
has nothing necessarily to do with any
treaty, so far as I am informed, or do I
intend to spe ik of any proposed treaty.
"The resolution I present does not in

“Some of tlie Governed.”
“The other day when the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts asked the
senator from Connecticut CPlatt) what he
was going to do with this sentence, that
‘all just powers of government are de
rived from the consent of the governed,’
he answered, ‘from the consent of some
of the governed.’
"Mr. President, when any great cause,
which is agitating the minds of the peo
ple, needs for its defense such shadow and
Un-American evasions as this, that cause
will not remain long in the minds of in
telligent people. We cannot amend that
sentence now, and when we all shall have
mouldered in forgotten dust, that sen
tence will live and continue to burn, a
menace to tyrants, and a beacon of hope
to the down-trodden and the oppressed.
Filipinos Plead for Liberty,
“The Filipino is begging to treat with
us as to his own land; he acknowledges
cur galalnt service;there is no honest com
mercial treaty that an honest nation could
csk that he is not willing to consent to.
He wants liberty as we did, and when
70,000,000 people have heard his cry for
mercy and independence, the father in
New England will plead for the father in
Manila, the mother in Illinois will pray
for the poor mother in the islands of tlie
sea; the fathers will vote as the mothers
pray; the poisoned views of selfishness will
have had their run, and God help the
party that urges war on the native who
defends only his liberties and his home.
“Ah, Mr. President, have we got to
fight and plead for these people as we
did for Cuba? Are we to hear Aguinaldo
and his followers called robbers and cut
throats as we heard of the brave Garcia
and his followers within the last twelve
months in this chamber? Why n,ot make
them our friends forever, instead of our
enemies. Why stingily withhold the jewel
of Independence? Why not finish this
war as we begun it—for humanity’s sake
—why not with a free and open hand give
to them what we have promised to give to
Cuba? Then we have kept our promises:
then have we bound them to us by bands
stronger than steel, and then can we an
swer the slanders of Europe, who called
us iand-grabbers. Pointing to Bedloe’s
Island, we can say, ‘See, the liberty cap
is not a crown; see, the goddess has turned
on her pedestal and with her searchlight
swept the continent; see, 10,000 miles across
the water, the seed sown at Concord has
taken root there, and flaunts its defiant
Hag of -solf-government at the very por
tals of the Orient.'
Cnn’t Tench It NYltli n Manser.
“That we have so far assisted the Fili
pinos and are entitled to fair treatment
from them is true; that by taking posses
sion in stress of war of a part of the isl
ands and driving the Spaniards out, cer
tain responsibilities have been placed upon
us, cannot be denied. But I contend that
there is no more right or necessity of gov
erning the Philippines than there is of our
governing Venezuela, Brazil, Nicaragua,
or any other South American state with
out the consent of the people. Certainly
we have no more right to govern the Phil
ippines than we have Cuba. There is no
such thing as teaching the art of self
government with a Mauser gun. There Is
but one, and only one way to learn the
art, that is through the gate of responsi
bility, and along the rough and rugged
road of experience.
Monroe's Imperialism.
“But distinguished gentlemen who claim
a monopoly of patriotism, who don’t
seem to observe the difference between
expansion and explosion, say that we who
believe In getting the, consent of the gov
erned before we govern them, want to
give back the Philippines to Spain. Ev
ery one who makes the statement knows
that we want nothing of the sort. Mexi
co was invaded by the French, and we
said to them: ‘Go, it is covered by the
Monroe doctrine.' France withdrew her
troops, and the brave, struggling republic
is climbing up tlie scale of civilization—
slowly but surely. That Is the expansion
I believe in. That is the imperialism
that Monroe taught us.”
Referring to the statements that the
Americans intended to give the Philippines
liberty. Senator Mason, said;
“How is liberty to be established? Is it
to be done hypodermically, with a thir
teen-inch gun? Are not our men and
shins lying off Iloilo? Did not the native
who has been our ally drive the Spaniard
out? Are they not in possession of their
own land, their own homes? Are they
guilty of any crime, except the love of
home and country? Having worn the
Spanish yoke so long, do you won
der at their fear of ours? Shall we
shoot them and burn their homes because
God Almighty has planted in their hearts
and on their lips the sweet song of lib
erty? Forbid it, Almighty God!
Croker Might Tench Them.
“But, Mr. President, we are told that we
must civilize them. Which part of our
civilization shall we give them first? Shall
we show them how to run municipalities
with boodle aldermen? I see the chief of
that great ethical society, known as Tam
many Hall, says; ‘Keep the islands, hold
them.’ Shall we send him to teach the un
taught Filipinos cleanliness and municipal
politics? Shall we teach them to worship
money, or the man who has it? Shall we
have special instructors to teach them how
to kill postmasters and their wives and
children because of their complexion?
Shall we have illustrations showing en
larged pictures of the works of our mobs
within the last ninety days in North Car
olina, South Carolina and Illinois? Shul!
we teach (hem how to organize trusts so
that one or two men can raise the price
of the necessities of life to all the people?
Shall we amend and print Lincoln's Get
tysburg speech eo that it will read; 'A
government of all the people by a part of
the people, for a few of the people?’
"Gentlemen may say I belittle our own
institutions. Oh, no. I simply call atten
tion to Ihe beam in our own eye, to pre

SAVANNAH, GA.. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 11 1890.
QUAY MUST GO BEFORE JURY.
SI’PUEME COURT REFUSES PETI
TION FOR CERTIORARI.
Court Had Jurisdiction. Hut Could
Not Review I.owcr Court's Prclimi
nnry Action on Indictments—No
Right of Appeal Until After Con
viction and Sentence —Court Be
lieves H* Can Get Fair Trial.
Grnhmn Slay Prosecute.
Philadelphia, Jan. 10.—The Supreme
Court to-day, in an opinion handed down
by Chief Justice Sterret, dismissed the
application in the Quay conspiracy case
for a writ of certiorari, and placed the
costs on the petitioners.
The petition of the defendants, United
Slates Senator Quay, R. R. Quay and
Benjamin A. Haywood averred that on ac
count of political prejudices they were of
belief that they could not obtain a fair
and impartial trial in the Philadelphia
Court of Quarter Sessions when the suit
against them was instituted.
The opinion of the court was handed to
the clerk, but was not read from the
bench, Judge Sterret merely announcing
the dismissal of the rule to show cause
why a writ of certiorari should be issued.
There was no dissenting opinion.
The charge against the defendants is
that of conspiracy with John S. Hopkins,
the cashier of the People’s Bank, who
committed suicide in March last, in the
misuse of state funds on deposit in that
bank. The defendtfnts were placed un
der arrest in October last, and as a re
sult of a preliminary hearing entered bail
for trial. Several postponements of the
fixed date for trial have taken place.
By Enenilea, Says tinny.
Senator Quay and his co-defendants have
persistently c.aimed in their defense *n
the preliminary proceedings that the pros
ecution was instigated by his political en
emies with the object of defeating his re
election to the United States Senate.
Two of the judges in the Philadelphia
County Court were named in the petition
of the defendants, which was filed with
the Supreme Court, as under the ban of
the defendant’s suspicion. Judges Gordon
and Findletter were the members of the
judiciary named. These judges, were on
the bench at differnt times during the ear
lier proceedings. Judge Gordon, however,
has resigned from the bench to engage in
professional practice, and Judge Findlet
ter, at the time the trial was to proceed,
had retired from the Quarter Sessions
Court to his regular duties in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer, and would not have
presided at the trial. The petition of the
defendants for a writ of certiorari put
an end to the proceedings in the lower
court, and it is not yet known when the
case will be recalled by the district at
torney.
Grniinm May Re Retained.
Another Interesting feature in the case
is that the personnel in the district attor
ney’s office has changed since the pro
ceedings were instituted. P. F. Rother
mel was elected In November last and as
sumed the office Jan. 1, succeeding George
S. Graham, whom the defendants in this
case alleged was particularly active by
reason of political enmity, in pressing the
prosectution.
Mr. Graham was, however, engaged by
Mr. Rothermel as special attorney to con
duct the opposition before the Supreme
Court last week to the motion for the wrij
of certiorari. Whether Mr. Graham will
handle the case when it is resumed in the
County Court, has not yet been made pubT
lie.
The opinion handed down by Judge Ster
ret is premised with a contradiction of
the district attorney's challenge that the
Supreme Court had no jurisdiction In the
case. The opinion holds that it has such
jurisdiction and sustains the point by
previous decisions on that matter. It
says, though, that the question of cer
t orari “must be exercised in and for the
administration of justice; not to defeat it
or needlessly embarrass it,” and that the
court cannot assent to the petitioners’
contention that it is this court’s duty to
in this case, to review the action of the
court below, in overruling the demurrers
to some of the indictments and refusing
to quash the others.
Can Get a Fair Trial.
"The orders overruling the demurrers
and refusing to quash are merely inter
locutory,” the opinion says, “and no right
to appeal therefrom, to any court, lies un
til after conviction and sentence.”
The court, therefore, is of the opinion
that It has no authority to review the
action of the court below on the demur
rers, and the motion to quash.
The court says the only other contention
of the petitioners that requires notice is
that Ihey cannot have a fair and impar
tial trial in the Court of Quarter Sessions
of Philadelphia county, where the Indict
ments are still pending on issues of fact
raised by the defendant’s pfeas of .“not
guilty.” On this point the court says:
“We cannot assent to this proposition.
On the contrary, we are satisfied that the
petitioners can and will have a fair and
impartial trial in that court before a com
petent and unprejudiced judge, and a fair
and impartial Jury. If we thought other
wise, we would r.ot hesitate a moment to
send the indictments to another Jurisdic
tion for trial.”

TOWER TO GO TO,'Rt SSIA.
Addison C. Harris Will Succeed llim
in Austria-Hungary.
Washington, Jan. 10.—The President to
day sent these to the Senate:
Charlemagne Tower of Pennsylvania,
now minister to Austria-Hungary, to bo
ambassador to Russia.
Addison C. Harris of Indiana, to be
minister to Austria-Hungary.
Mr. Tower, appointed ambassador to
Russia, is a wealthy gentleman from
Philadelphia, is about 50 years old, and
given to literary pursuits. He has never
taken any active interest in polities, and
was never known as an “organization”
man in any way. He has written a his
tory of Lafayette and some essays. His
appointment as minister to Austria, when
made at the beginning of the present ad
ministration, was not made upon the re
quest of the senators from Pennsylvania,
and his selection was something of a sur
prise to them.
Mr. Harris, who goes as minister to
Austria, is a resident of Indianapolis, Inch,
and one of the foremost members of the
bar of the state. He is a native of Indi
ana, and a graduate of Butler College of
that state. Mr. Harris has devoted him-?
self principally to his profession, and has
given comparatively little attention to pol
itics. He has never held office except to
serve for one term as a mem
ber of the state Senate. He
w T as one of the Republican candidates for
presidential elector during the campaign
of 1896, and was at one time a candidate
for Congress against Mr Bynum, by
whom he was defeated. His candidacy
was supported by Senator Fairbanks.
Mr. Harris is about 53 years of age. He
is married, but has no children.
UP TO THE FEVER POINT.
BeanrepaiPe’a Resignation Revive*
Interest in Dreyfn* Cane.
Paris, Jan. 10.—The resignation of M.
Quesnay de Beaurepaire, president of the
civil section of the Court o: Cassation, has
revived interest in the Dreyfus case, which
had calmed down during the past few
days, to the fever point.
The anti-Dreyfusites are doing every
thing possible to discredit the Court of
Cassation, as it is generally Accepted in
the best informed circles that the court
is preparing to render judgment in favor
of Dreyfus.
The cabinet met this afternoon under
the presidency of President Faure, and is
sued a decree accepting the resignation
of M. de Beaurepaire, and appointing
Counsellor Ballot de Beaupre to succeed
him.
The minister of justice. M. Leßret, an
nounced that M..M..w*iu, the first presi
dent of the Court of Cassation, will pre
side over the criminal section of the
Court of Cassation, instead of M. Loew,
when the Dreyfus inquiry is terminated,
and the court meets to take , a decision.
This step has been taken in consequence
of the virulent attacks on M. Loew, based
on the fact that he is a Jew.
The minister also read ihe telegraphic
depositions from Dreyfus, in which he not
only declared he had never confessed that
he was guilty, but that he is innocent.
GETTING CLOSE TOGETHER.
A Franco-German Entente May Y'et
Startle tlie World.
London, Jan. 10.—The conference between
Marquis de Noailles and Kaiser William
is the chief topic at all the European chan
cellories, and there are all sorts of ru
mors, for the most part purely guess work.
The conference seems, however, to be a
token of growing friendship between Ger
many and France, arising from mutual
Interests. .
Emperor William has long endeavored
by tactful’ civilities to extinguish the
French chronic hatred of Germany. His
amenltes were lukewarmly received by
France until French interests, as is now
the case, began to dictate# cultivating
Germany; while the 'concentration of
French hatred upon England tends to de
flect it from Germany. This, the Em
peror proposes to utilize in furtherance of
his policy.
INTENDS NOTHING PRACTICAL.
Germany, However, Knennrnge* Die
Proposed Alliance.
London, Jan. H.—The Berlin correspon
dent of the Daily News says:
“Emperor William and the French am
bassador talked of an alliance between
Germany, France and Russia in the far
East. France favored it, and Germany
encourages the dream without intending
anything practical."

Washington, Jan. 10.—The first formal

them was Washington’s official and resi
dent society. The guests in all numbered
about 2,000 persons.
The mansion presented a festive appear
ance, and there were many expressions
of admiration at the manner in which the

SAILOR KNOCKS OUT THE KID.
SI’OOY’S PROWESS VANISHES RE
FORK SHARKEY’S BLOWS.
I

Fight— McCoy’* Tnetiex Were Mnr
vtslouM—K nocked Sharkey Down
Twice In Third Round—Hut the
Snilur W a* Persistent anil Had tlie
Endurance—Sharkey a Candidate
lor Higher Honor*.
Lenox Athletic Club, New Y'ork. Jan.
10.—Tom Sharkey, the American sailor,
stands to-night the only heavyweight pos
sible for championship honors, and the
title now held by Hob Fitzs tnmons.
He whipped Kid McCoy, good and hard,
in the* tenth round of what was to have
been a twenty-round battle, and by doing
so. the Irtah-Amerlean pugilist forged his
way so positively and undeniable to the
front rank that Fitzsimmons must now
consider the sailor pugilist’s claim with
out delay.
Sharkey to-night was a revelation to
those who saw him a couple of years
ago. His ring work and generalship are
so vastly superior to his exhibitions when
he first came to the East as a fighter that
the improvement is utmost incredible.
Great bunches! of muscle, with unlimited
confidence and a cool head, are the qual
ifications which have enabled Sharkey to
light his way to the front rank of heavy
weight puglisits and no one, not even Mc-
Coy, who suffered at his hands to-night,
denies the full measure of praise that is
due to the Irishman.
McCoy’s marvelous foot work and that
long left jab, with which he has put so
many of his opponents to sleep, are two
factors in his make-up that must always
appeal to lovers of the fistic art. He used
every artifice known to the advanced
school of pugilism in his contest to-night,
and his defeat must not be attributed to
any lack of close study on his part of ev
ery trick In the boxing game. Many of
his friends feel to-night that he ought to
have gorfe up against smaller game than
Sharkey.
Thought the Kid Had Him.
When McCoy sent Sharkey twice lo the
floor in the third round to-night, no one
doubted the Kid’s ability to lilt hard, and
many thought that he had Sharkey at his
mercy. This idea was soon dispelled when
the Irishman began lo gei to Ills man.
McCoy's seconds were Doc Payne, Con
Reilly, Frank Erne, Timekeeper Nate
Kenton of Buffalo, Sharkey’s seconds were
Tom O'Rourke, Tommy Ryan of Syra
cuse, George Dixon and Jack Dougherty;
timekeeper, Prof. Jimmy DeForest. Tim
Hurst v.g- referee. Sharkey’s weight was
172 pounds. McCoy's 158. McCoy wore,
white running trunks, with a belt with the
Stars and Stripes. Tom wore green trunks
with a belt of American colors. They
shook hands at 10:40 o’clock.
Hound One—They fiddled. McCoy tried
a left for the wind, but missed. Tom
swung a left over tlie kidneys. McCoy
tried a left hook for the head, landing
i’ghtly. Tom uppercut with a l ight on the
chest. McCoy made a half-circle of the
ring and then caught on the stomach.
Sharkey did not iep]y, McCoy again sent
his left to the stomach and tirought it up
to the face. Sharkey hooked a light right
to the ribs. Both men were sparring at
the gong. McCoy’s round.
Sharkey Gel* in a Lick.
Round Two—McCoy side-stepped to the
left for a half-circle of the ring, and let
his left go, landing lightly on th,e face.
Tom stepped back and McCoy ran close
to him. Two efforts of McCoy to reach
his man were futile, but he caught Tom
on the ropes and caught a light left on
the nose. Tom came to the center of the
ting, and tried left and right without ef
fect, and again the Kid sent his left light
ly to the face. McCoy continually kept
side-stepping and evaded Tom’s attempts
for a left hook or swing very cleverly.
McCoy put a left hook or swing very clev
erly. McCoy put a light left on Tom’s
face when near the ropes on the wem end
of the ring, and Sharkey sent a hard left
hook to the ribs just as the gong sounded.
Sharkey Goe* Ilona.

“Here Is the ‘Old Chinaman' (referring

to make Cuba free and independent.’’

a Little While Anyhow.
Madrid, Jan. 10.—Senor Sagasta had an
hour's audience with the Queen Regent to
day and afterwards announced that there
was no cabinet crisis, that he would not
Bubmit a vote of confidence, and that he
bejieved the present ministry would pre
sent itself to Parliament.
Senor Sagasta's statement has caused
much excitement In political circles, where
it had been believed that a cabinet crisis
was inevitable. It Is not yet clear whether
the crisis Is merely deferred until after the
next cabinet meeting,or whether Senor Sa
gasta has succeeded In ludeing certain
colleagues to reconsider their resignation.
Several dissident conservatives, Including
the Duke of Tetuan, minister of foreign
affairs in the Conovas cabinet, and To
mas Castellanos, former minister for tho
colonies, have apparently decided to Join
Senor Sagasta. Other mem bora of the
party have nttached themselves to Senor
SUvela so that the dissident Conservative
ixirty, os an organization, may b con
sidered dissolved.
