HOUSE passed canal bill
Continued from First Page.)
-—Tin rose and resents! sojne. remarks
Ct T 14 , night by Mr. Hepburn, Im
-1,1 ling his (Cannon’s) sincerity. Mr.
P ug ° ' .poke under excitement, say-
C he had Just read Mr. Hepburn’s at-
W u pon him. He recalled an intlma
<aC that had come to him of which he
U°? o ,‘ spoken yesterday, that those who
promoting this bill were doing so to
TiVv the canal. Yet he said he had ac
, jir. Hepburn of any such inten
1. 11 -po-lay he frankly stated that Mr.
jp'phurn’s name had been connected with
"’.■who'was the author of the rumor?”
.l-ed'jlr- Hepburn. Jumping to his feet,
newspaper man,” replied Mr. Can
‘ •■] do not know his name.”
Continuing and speaking with great de
nigration, Mr. Cannon said he would
hve been satisfied with the acquittal he
“ a or r Hepburn yesterday had not his
S o Sbts been aroused.”
“jrv observation.” said he, "Is that
when a man Is willing to challenge the
sincerity of another it is because he Is
inrning the glass inward upon himself.
! do not rise to Justify my own reputa
lirin for Sincerity. Upon my record of
twenty-five years in public life I will stand
01 ip he excitement grew as Mr. Cannon
proceeded.
Hepburn’s Warm Reply.
Mr Hepburn’s face-was white, and his
words nme in a perfect torrent when he
replif‘l He thought it entirely possible,
~ •: ;. that someone whose name could
not he recalled was lying about the Cap
tinl in the interest of their pet projects.
Interests in Mr. Cannon’s own city of
Phio.igo he declared, were trying to sell
t].;ngs to the government and he thought
altogether likely that the Panama
Canal Company might be trying to defeat
this bill.
I know no man connected with the
Panama "Canal Company,” cried Mr. Can
n, :i fiercely. “Can the gentleman say as
much ?” ...
-yes, except as they have appeared be
my committee," replied Mr. Hepburn,
who. continuing, appealed to the record
f„: Confirmation of what he bad said about
jir. Cannon.
Sow, Mr. Chairman,” continued Mr.
Hepburn, ’’for what I said of the gentle
man I appealed to the record, and I say
t: at on all occasions where he has had an
opportunity, by Insolent Interference, he
h ,s attempted to stop the progress of (his
great work. Twice In the last five years
his committee, that never gave a word
of attention or study on the, subject, has
intervened and have secured a divergence,
have stopped the project under the pre
tense of more information, the same plea
m he then that was being made here yes
terday. X appeal to the record, nothing
more than that. I soy this to him. if he
means to father It, that the man that said
that I was not In good faith, that I had
any other purpose than that of securing
at the earliest moment the canal that
would most benefit us, I say that he lied,
and if it was parliamentary to do it, I
would say the man that attempted to give
currency to it by its repetition here was a
liar. That Is all I desire to say about it.”
Cannon Makes Disclaimer.
Quick as a flash Mr. Cannon asked Mr.
Hepburn to repeat his statement. By this
time the House was in a wild state of ex
citement and confusion and Mr. Wheeler
of Kentucky attempted to dall the gen
t-men to order, but the chair said he had
heard nothing unparliamentary, and Mr.
Hepburn proceeded.
"I say if the gentleman attempted to
give currency to the statement, he did
me a gross injustice, by making such an
underhanded imputation.”
Mr. Cannon, with flushed face, declared
that Mr. Hepburn was adopting the tac
tics of the cuttlefish. ”He seeks to mud
dy the waters and swim away.”
”1 am not seeking to muddy the wa
ters,” retorted Mr. Hepburn passionate
ly. ”1 am responsible for what I said to
the gentleman here and elsewhere. The
gentleman tried to dishonor me and I re
sent it.”
Mr. Cannon protested that he had done
r thing of the kind; that he had treated
the gentleman from lowa with great re
spect and had himself been assailed with
out provocation. He would dismiss the
whole subject, believing Mr. Hepburn’s
v.olent remarks were due to his temper
and not his calm Judg tent. Here the mat
ter ended.
Another Personal Dispute.
But soon after another scene occurred
when Mr. Gaines of Tennessee took excep
tion to a personal allusion made to him
by Mr. Mann of Illinois. After reading
from the record Mr. Mann's statement,
Mr. Gaines with great vehemence declar
ed that the man who had uttered words
v a "devoid of common decency, courtesy
and gemility.”
The Illinois member had told him, Mr.
Gaines said, that he had come from the
Bouth and was a Southern man and he
thanliPd God that he was 1.500 miles re
moved from contact with the South.
-Mr. Mann came down the aisle as Mr.
Cj iines conclude), and in sarcastic tones,
said;
Mr. Chairman, if the remarks came
frxn any other member than the gentle
man from Tenne.ssee. they would deserve
a cepiy, but from him they need no an
swer.”
ds Mr. Mann turned his back, Mr.

exclaimed, Fine!

Gaines raised his right hand menacingly,
and exclaimed amid he confusion and
laughter:
“I want to say that I am responsible

After further discussion a vote was
taken on the pending amendment, and it
was defeated, 66 to 114.
The Amendment* I)ispofu , d of.
Another amendment by Mr. Burton of
Ohio, striking out the word “Greytown”
was defeated, 14 to 78.
Mr. Lovering of Massachusetts, offered
an amendment limiting the payment to
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, to $3,000,000.
Mr. Lovering said he had information

amendment was defeated without division.
The committee amendments to the sec

struction of the canal.
The excitement increased as the time
for a vote approached. Mr. Grosvenor
and Mr. Cannon exchanged broadsides
and Mr. Burton made his final protest
aeainst the bill. He declared that the
House was proceeding i'.kglcally and has
tily.
The other committee amendments were
adopted and Mr. Burton offered his final
amendment, providing that no money
should be expended under the terms of
the bill until the Isthmian Canal Commis

Mr. Burton then moved to recommit the
bill to the Interstate Commerce Commit

construction of a canal, and authorizing
the Construction of such a canal at a cost,

Mr. Burton demanded' the ayes and noes,
but could not get a second to his demand.

Pearl In Oyster ratty.
From the New York World.
It became known yesterday that Lieut.
Herbert Whipple of the Seventh United
States Cavalry, recemly found a valuable
pearl in an oyster patty while dining with
friends in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The
pearl was the size of a hazel nut and near
ly round. Hod It not been damaged In
the cooking, experts say, It would be
worth at least 120,C00*
The dinner was given in honor of tdent.
Whipple a few days before his departur>
to join his regiment In Cuba. As he was
eating an oyster patty his teeth struck
something hard. As It was too round (o
toe a piece of oyster shell, he made an ex
amlnatinon, and found It to be a beautiful
pearl. The process of cooking had
changed Its appearance from a pure white
to a dull turquoise blue.
Lieut. Whipple decided to have the gem
put in a stickpin for h'.s wife, and sent It
to a jeweler the next day. When the pearl
was shown to Manager Boldt of the hotel
he salel:
“Had It pot become darkened In tho
cooking the pearl would surely have been
worth $20,000 or $30,000.
‘ It Is not unusual to find pearl* In oys
ters. but they arc generally so small ns to
be of lillte value." he added. “Lieut Whip
ple's find was the largest and finest pearl
I have ever seen.
"I shall have to examine our oysters,"
he laughed, "If they have got to bearing
pearls—or raise the price of patties."
The pin has ben sent to Mis. Whipple,
who lives in Louisville, Ky.

THE MORNING NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1900.
NATIONAL CAPITAL GOSSIP.
UTAH’S NEW CONGRESSMAN IS A
MORMON MEMBER.
Roberts Expelled Not Beoaime He
Wan a Mormon But Beeauae He
Wan a Polygamist—Cannon Inter
ested in Liquid Air —Popnll at s’
Plan to Nominate Bryan in Ad
vance Don Not Worry the Demo
crats—Senutor Hanna’s Explana
tion.
Washington, May 2.—The popular Im
pression that the late lamented Roberts
of Utah was expelled from the House of
Representatives because he w’as a Mor
mon, found expression several times dur
ing the House debate the other day’ upon
the anti-polygamy amendment proposed
to the constitution. W r hen men supposed
to be lawyers make that mistake it is
not surprising that the laiety should fall
Into a similar error.
Asa matter of fact, the House now has
a Mormon member and nobody has ever
thought of making any point on his ad
mission. He is Judge King of Utah, who
comes as Mr. Roberts’ successor. Judge
King was a member of the last Congress,
where he made an excellent Impression.
He declined to stand for re-election be
cause he was a candidate for the Sen
ate to succeed Frank Cannon. When the
Legislature assembled, King had a ma
jority either pledged to him in person or
Instructed for him by their constituents.
He was beaten on account of a deadlock,
which was brought about—a rather
strange coincidence—by man who is as
sociated with Senator Clark of Montana
in mining operations. It was another
case of a barrel. The McCune barrel
w’as not as successful as the Clark bar
rel, but it was large enough to prevent
any election at all.
This failure to elect by a Legislature
which w'as overwhelmingly Democratic,
has hurt the party in the state a great
deal, but Judge King’s victory in the
congressional race to fill the vacancy cre
ated by the expulsion of Roberts seems
to Indicate that the state will go for
Bryan.
Cannon and Liquid Air.
Former Senator Frank Cannon, who
was one of the Republicans who followed
Senator Teller and went out of the Re
publican party, 1? now making his head
quarters in New York, where he is inter
ested in the promotion of liquid air. In
Utah it is expected that when Frank has
got together a “pile” he will go back and
re-enter politics. The little band of free
silver Republicans is much interested in
the outlook in Idaho, for a victory of tho
silver forces will mean the return to the
Senate of former Senator Fred Dubois.
Should that happen and should the Dem
ocrats by any chance succeed in electing
Towrne of Minnesota to the vice presi
dency, the band of “martyrs” wdll begin
to think that they were not martyrs in
\ ain.
Docs Not Worry Democrats.
The fact lhat the Populists are goin#
to nominate Bryan in advance of the
Democrats does not seem to worry the
Democratic managers here at all. Sena
tor Jones is quoted at> saying that the
Democrats don’t care if ail the National
(T&iVentiofis nominate Bryan—that it wfil
ndflr reduce the Democratic loyalty at all.
“Even if he were nominated at the Phil
adelphia Convention it would not embar
rass us,” says the Arkansas sage. lie
thinks all the people ought to agree on
Bryan, but does not think they will.
How Hanna Explained.
The return of Senator Aldrich of Con
necticut brought about an Immediate gath
ering of the wise heads of the Senate in
a way to indicate that there was some
thing brewing. Aldrich and Allison and
Wolcott and Dodge had their heads to
gether after the manner of those plotting
mischief. It was after one of these con
sultations that Senator Wolcott wandered
carelessly over to where Senator Hanna
eat. The two men had not met since the
vote on the Quay case.
“What I want to know', Hanna,” said
Wolcott, “is Just the difference—the con
stitutional difference—between the Corbett
case, where you voted to seat the Govern
or’s appointee and the Quay case, where
you voted against seating the appointee.
Asa great constiiutional lawyer, you ”
“Oh, you go ’way,” said Hanna, “I
know all right enough, but ”
And then they went together down to
the Senate restaurant, where Hanna did
the paying.
Cotton in Sontli Carolina.
Columbia. S. C., May 2, 1900.-The week
ending Monday, April 30th, was the warm

cotton, were common, the temperature
wa* generally favorable on growing crop*.

PASSED ON S A 3110 QUESTIONS.
lint Judge Speer’s Decision Was tlie
Reverse of Judge Brovrn’a.
In connection w’ith the question of
Judge Addison Brown's decision, refus
ing to order the removal of B. D. Greene
and the Gaynore to Savannah for trial,
after an indictment had been found
against them in the United States Court
here, it may be interesting to know’ that
Judge Speer had this identical question
before him nearly fifteen years ago, when
he was first appointed Judge. It was in
the case of Roberts vs. Reiley, reported
in the Twenty-fourth Federal Reporter,
page 132. II w’as perhaps the first im
portant case he decided after his appoint
ment to the bench. In that case Mr. Rob
erts, who w r as a banker in Augusta, was
accused of crime alleged to have been
committed in the state of New’ York He
was a man of prominence and when Reil
ey, who was a sheriff’s officer from New
York state, came out with a requisition
for his arrest, a w’rite of habeas corpus
w'as sued out from Judge Speer's court by
the counsel representing Mr. Roberts, and
it will he seen from an examination of the
opinion that the precise questions were
raised about which Judge Brown and
Judge Speer now' differ. Counsel for Mr.
Roberts were such distinguished lawyers
as J. C. C. Black, Hook & Montgomery,
George A. Mercer and H. D. D. Twiggs.
Counsel in favor of the extrudition were
Frank 11. Miller, Chisholm ft Erydn ahd
Boykin Wright. The case argued
with great care at Savnnnalrf The in
dictment was attacked ns invalid. Proof
was offered before Judge SpoAr to show
that Roberts was innocent andxipt guilty
as indieted in New York, and it was also
denied that he was a fugitive from jus
tice. All of theee points are presented
in the decision of Judge Brown. On those
subjects Judge Speer held as follows:
“It is further objected to the legality
of this detention that the indictment does
not properly allege the ownership of the
bonds alleged to have been stolen, and
that <ho allegation that they were the
bonds of the Bethlehem Iron Company,
without alleging the corporate charac
ter of such company, is a fatal defect.
Unquestionably there is authority pointing
to this conclusion. After careful and
anxious consideration of this question the
court feels it to be improper that it
should discharge the defendant on this
ground, and thinks it in every view safer
and the better rule to remit the ques
tion of the sufficiency of 4he indictment,
to he tried and determined by the courts
of the state in which it is found. The
settled policy of the government being to
facilitate the extradition of fugitives
charged with crime, and, in view of the
great importance of this policy to the
commercial prosperity of the country,
and the integrity of business transactions
between <the citizens of the several states,
it would be a dangerous precedent, as well
in conflict with eminent authority, <o hold
that such matters of technical irregular
ity must deny the extradition.
“Certain affidavits are also offered by
the relator, the practical effect of which
is a denial of guilt. It Is sufficient to
say that the court in this proceeding will
not consider that question. A proper
charge of crime having been presented
to the court. It Is our undoubted duty to
decline to investigate the guilt or inno
cence of the prisoner. The authorities
upon this question nr* numerous, conclu
sive and adverse to th* contention of tho
counsel for relator. It would be otherwise
were the arrest made upon preliminary
process and before indictment. In that
event investigation would bo had, at
least, to disclose if there be a prosecution
in good faith, and if there be probable
cause to suepect the guilt of the party
accused.”
Thus it will be seen that Judge Speer
makes the distinction as to the proper
proceedings before and after indictment
which Judge Brown ns distinctly ig
nores.
In the ense of Roberts, Judge Speer fur
ther held:
“It Is further urged, and with great ap
parent confidence by the distinguished
counsel for the relator, that the facts do
not show that the relator is a *fug!t v?
from Justice.’ It is the opinion of the court
that one who goes into a state and com
mits a crime, and then returns home is as
much a fugitive from Justice a* though he
had committed a orim* in the state in
which he resided ond then fled to som*
other state.”
Asa result of this decision-, Mr. Rob
erts. although a man of great wealth and
influence, was immediately turned over to
the New York sheriff’s officer to he car
ried there for trial. An appeal w:is takm
from Judge Speer’s decision to the circuit
Justice, who was the Honorable W. B.
Wood, associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, and by that eminent Jurist Judge
S|**er was affirmed. Another aive.il was
immediately taken from the decision o f
Justice Wood to the Supreme Court of the
United States, and the Supreme Court of
the United States affirmed thg decision of
Justice Wood and ef course Judge Spe r.
316 U. 8.. p. 80, and thus the law was set
tled. Since that case was brought up by
habeas corpus, both the government and
the defendant had the right to take an ap
peal from the decision of the lower court,
but in the proceedings before the commis
sioner and Judge Brown in the
Gay nor case In New York, to
which Judge Speer promptly directed the
attention of the president as an Improper
interference with the due execution cf
tho law, the government haw tio appeal,
and unless the remedial bffHiatbm which
is propose! by congress Is enacted. It Is
probably that Greene and the Gaynors
w>io are Indicted a 00-conspirators wl h
Capt. Carter (who i& already convicted)
for conspiracy Involving the alleged em
bezzlement of more of the people’s money
than was ever heretofore involved In a
prosecution in the United States court,
will never be brought to trial.
OLD GERONIMO WILY.
Apaclie Chief Gets Rich Playing Po
ker and Spanish Monte.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
“That old sinner Is as sane as I am,”
said an officer from Fort Sill yesterday.
“Whenever you hear rumors to the ef
fect that Geronimo is crazy it may be
set down that he is planning to fool the
guards and escape. We expect him to
attempt to get aw'ay any time.”
Geronimo is not confined In a cell now,
but is allowed the freedom of the res
ervation. He is always accompanied by
a guard. The officers allow the old chief
to carry a revolver, but take care that
it is never loaded. He handles the gun
as fondly ns a mother would a baby.
“Geronimo i* a great card player,” said
the officer, “and his trickp at monte and
poker keep the rest of the Indians around
the fort broke nearly all the time. We
had a great card game down there last
Sunday with Geronimo against the field.
The old sinner broke about a dozen sol
diers and then commenced on his fellow
Indians. He played them for blankets,
feathers and plumes, and now' he has the
finest wardrobe of any Indian on the
reservation. He feels prouder of his po
ker trophies than a small boy does of his
first pair of trousers.
“Early Sunday morning Geronlmo and
a number of soldiers engaged in a quiet
game of monte back of the government
house. The old redskin was less than
an hour in raking in their little pile of
$l5O. Then he started in to play poker
with Ha.ppy Jack, a well known oow
pUnoher, who lives wherever his hat is
off, but generally holds ou* at Fort Sill.
Geronlmo soon had the cow puncher's
money In his pocket, and then the In
dians around there lost all their fancy
trinkets.
"It is interesting to see the old man
shuffle the pasteboards. He is undoubt
edly the bravest gambler that ever put
his knees under a poker table. There is
no bluff about him. He plays a fair
and square game and expects others to
do the same. He never hesitates about
a bet, and his Judgment Is alw'ays good.
When you raise him a stiff amount, his
cold, gray eyes seem to penetrate your
thoughts for the instant, and then his
mind Is made up ns to whether you are
running a bluff or holding a good hand.
“One curious thing about it is that Ger
onlmo nearly always gives his winnings
to civilized Indian children to spend for
an education. Notwithstanding the fart
that ho can neither read nor write, he
insists that the rising generation should
follow In the white man’s trail. .
“ ’Apache trail no good any more,’ ho
says.
“I recollect ft queer little Incident that
happened here a year ago,” tho officer
went on to say. “Burbank, the Chicago
Indian painter, came down here to make
a picture of Geronlmo. I suppose that
Burbank know'!* Geronlmo’s features bet
ter then any man In America, for he has
painted his portrait twenty times. After
a lot of dickering about the price for pok
ing. for Geronlmo raises the figures every
time on Burbank, they struck a bar
gain. Then the artist wanted to get a
plaster cast of his hand.
“ ‘No, heap bad medicine,’ said Geron
imo.
“ ’Oh, but you’re a medicine man as
well as a great chief.’ said Burbank, who
knows how to flatter the Indians, ‘and
you can make It all right.’
“Finally he got the plaster east. Oer
onlmo’s hand Is short, thick, fingers
blunt, nails broken and palm deeply
seamed. Burbank took the cast to Chi
cago and showed it to another artist,
Ralph Clarkson.
“ ‘Whose hand do you suppose that Is?’
said Burbank.
“ ‘Haven’! any idea,* said Clarkson, as
he took the cast and began to study it.
’By George, but that’s the hand of a
brute,’ he exclaimed, after a minute’s in
spection.
“And Clarkson hit It right,’* said the of
ficer. “Geronlmo Is ft thorough savnge,
always has been one and always will be.
He’s one of the kind you can’t civil
ize.” *
