would support the Miles-Corbtn amend
ment, as he believed victories are not
won in the field alone.

tion amendment and asserted Gen. Cor
bin during the closing hours of the last
Congress had hung about the corridors cf
the Capitol begging for promotion.
Mr. Hull of lowa said he had never
heard of Gen. Corbin being In the dapltol
seeking this promotion and he was the
one, as chairman of the committee, most
apt to know.
Appointed Sons of Members.
Mr. Lentz: "Is it not a fact that he ap
pointed sons of members, and indirectly
got their Influence in that way?”
Mr. Hull: "He has appointed a good
many staff officers. The gentleman from
Ohio Is evidently anxious to get the fact
before the country that I have a eon in ihe
army, who has served In the staff depart
ment at Manila. That is something r am
proud of. He went and enlisted first with
his own regiment, having served in the
National Guard for ten years and got a
commission by the votes of his comrades
for the rank of captain. (Loud applause
on the Republican side.)
“His rlgiment is coming home and both
myself and his good mother have tried
at the war department for the last live
months to get him ordered home, so that
he could resume, the vocations of peace,
and the testimony from several of the
generals, who have reported, Gen. Wheel
er among the others, is that his work
there was so good that they wanted fur
ther to advance him. (Loud applause on
the Republican side.)
"Mr. Chairman, I thank God I have
sons who can serve their country. (Loud
applause.) lam proud of them. I thank
God I am not one of those anonymous
creatures who has not been able to per
petuate bis species, and has nothing to
look forward to. (Prolonged cheering and
applause on the Republican side.)
Hl*se for Mr. l.entz.
Mr. Lentz: "I want to ask the gentle
man If he has a son who would be able to
support htmself without being a pensioner
on his country. (Cries of ‘Oh!’ and hiss
ing on the Republican side). Will the gen
tleman explain about his other son?" (Re
newed hissing on the Republican side.)
Mr. Hull: "I would if it had any con
nection with this matter.”
Mr. Lentz: "Is he not sucking the pub
lic teat?" (Renewed hisses on the Repub
lican side.)
Mr. Brown of Ohio assailed Mr. Lentz.
He would like, he said, to see someone
or something that would commend the
patriotism of that gentleman.

o' Virginia In opposition to the proposi
tion to promote G n. Miles and Gen. Cor

adjusted.
"The conduct of the military in the try
ing hours from May 2 to the present, amid
the disturbing elements of the Coeur d'

ANTI-TRUST BILL HELD UP.

his party, and subsequently had been dis
barred and disgraced in his native city.
Hi* Hstimat© of Pettlgrcrv.
Then he read a clipping from a Soulh
Dakota newspaper in which Mr. Pettigrew
was characterized as a traitor to his coun
try and to his state, and dezlared that he
did not represent the people of South Da
kota.
"That,” declared Mr. Hanna, vehe
mently, “is my accuser in the Senate of
th© United States, and that is the estima
tion in which he is held by the people of
his own state. As to the political i base of
this .matter—and that is all there is in it—
I do not believe the Senator from SotUh
Dakota thinks his harangue will bring any
tangible results to his benefit. He does
not believe that the people will regard
him as the Moses of the Democratic-Popu
listic combination who is to lead them out
of the wilderness. His fulmination with
which he has filled the Record can have
no effect upon thoughtful men. I have
often sat in my seat listening to him and
thought him insane. Much of the Stuff he
has uttered on this floor is the veriest rot.
“When it comes to personalities,” hot
ly asserted Mr. Hanna, in conclusion, “I
wl 1 stand up with him and compare my
character witn h s. He may tell what he
knows about me and then—” with em
phasis on every word—“l* will tell what
I know about him.”
Mr. Carter Says Some Thing;*.
Mr. Carter aga n addressed the Senate.
“As the s.atement reflects upon me,” he
said. “I assume It my privilege to reply.
First it is said that Mr. Cramp made
the statement that he contributed $400,000
to the Republican campaign fund in 1892.
I do not believe Mr. Cramp ever made
that statement. He could n*t truthfully
have made it and I believe him to be a
truthful man. From tjae Senator from
.South Dako;a has come the first intima
tion that Mr. Cramp ever gave such an
amount to the committee, and that any
part of that purported contribution had
teen diverted wrongfully.”
Senator Carter said the reported con
versation between himse f and Mr. Petti
grew was a pure creation of the imagin
ation, as he thought the conversation be
tween Mr. Pettigrew and Mr. Cramp as
reported by the former, must have been.
If Mr. Pettigrew had ever informed him
that Mr. Cramp had made any Insinua
tions that the funds had been diverted,
Mr. Carter said that his own sense of
honor would have impelled him to call
upon Mr. Cramp for an explanation.’
He said he wanted to sound a note of
•warning to the Democratic managers con
cerning Mr. Pettigrew. Even if such a
conversation had occurred there had been
a tacit understanding that they were sac
red because private. Turning to the Dem
ocratic side, Mr. Carter said:
It Was Confidential.
“If these alleged conversations ever
had occurred, they carried with them be
tween gentlemen a tacit under
standing which ho gentleman,
anywhere, would disregard. Breth
ren on the other side of this cham
ber, you are to henceforth associate, God
knows how long, with the gyrating politi
cal career of the senator from South Da
kota. Ever* keep in mind the statements
made by him to-day, statements which I
brand, in so far as I am concerned, as
untrue. The Senator was mistaken in the
person with whom he talked. His mem
ory is at fault. But if with Mr. Cramp
the conversation d!d occur, I admonish
those who manage political affairs on the
other side to beware and constantly bear
in mind the old adage: ‘Those who lie
down with dogs may expect 10 get up
with fleas.* ”
Mr. Pettigrew’s reply was brief. He as
serted that his conversations with both
Mr. Cramp and Mr. Carter had occurred
as he had related. He said he had made
no charge that Mr. Carter, as chairman
of the National Republican Committee,
had diverted the funds. He also repeated
that the reported conversation with Mr.
Carter had transpired. “It took place,”
he sakl, “here in the Senate chamber.”
Mr. Foraker then read extracts from
the minority Teport of State Senator
James R. Garfield, on the investigation
into the Ohio senatorial election, which
he believed would satisfy the people of
the United States that the investigation
was not one of serious import.
ANTI-TRUST 111 Id/ lIEI/D UP.
Qaeßtlon n* to Whether It I* to Be
t'Ke<l n* i Club.
Washington, June 6 —ln the Senate to
day Mr. Turner of Washington attacked
the administration of the pension depart
ment, because, he said, by its peculiar
construction of the laws passed by a
grateful Congress it was denying just
and proper pensions to the old soldiers
of the republic, their widows and orphans.
In his speech Mr. Turner discussed
briefly a'most every big question pending
before Congress.
The chair laid the House anti-trust hill
before the Senate. It was read a second
time.
Mr. Pettigrew of Soulh Dakota moved to
proceed with its consideration.
Mr. Gablnger of New Hampshire moved
to refer It to the Committee on Judiciary.
The latter motion, the chair held, took
precedence. In a brief speech Mr. Petti
grew Inquire,! whether this b li was pus and
by Ihe House to become a law or to be
used as a club to be held over corporations
this summer to get campaign contribu
tions.
"We cannot deceive the country into
the belief,” said Mr. Bacon of Georgia,
"that we are proceeding in good, faith If
we give such directions to this bill as
practically will destroy any chance of
action upon It at this session. I think

that the country will think that the mot on
to refer Is an indirect method of defeating
the bill.”
Mr. Bacon contended that it was the
duty of Congress to remain in session In
definpely until this important legislation
was enacted. The trusts knew their
friends, and Mr. Baqon predicted that
when the campaign begar\ the coffers of
the Republican managers would be full
to running over WUh contributions.
Mr. Teller suggested that if Mr. Carter
felt aggrieved over Mr. Pettigrew's
charges he could secure an Investigation
by a committee of the Senate.
The conference report on the Alaskan
code bill was adopted, and the bill now
goes to the President.
Mr. Scott of West Virginia, spoke on
the Philippine question. He was confi
dent the Islands would remain in the pos
session of the United States.
Mr. Pettigrew, resuming yesterday’s
speech, contended that Admiral Dewey
had recognized Aguinaldo officially, and
he asserted that Manila was taken by the
Americans by agreement with the Span
iards. This was done to satisfy Spanish
pride, and resulted, Mr. Pettigrew’ as
serted, In killing a number of American
soldiers.
A conference report on the bill to pro
vide better facilities for the deposit of
public money tn the Philippines, Cuba and
Por(o Rico, was agreed to.

(“THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS”)
BEWARE OF SUBSTITUTION S.
BRITISH HAD SOME FIGHTING.
(Continued from First Page.)
We started this morning at daybreak,
marched about ten miles to Six Miles
Spruit, both banks of which were occu
pied by the enemy. Henry’s and Ross’
mounted Infantry, with the West Somer
set, Dorset, Bedford and Sussex com
panies of yeomanry quickly dislodged
them from tho south bank and pursued
them nearly a mile, when they found
themselves under a heavy fire from guns
which the Boers had placed in g well con
cealed commanding position.
"Our heavy guns of the Naval and Royal
Artillery, which had purposely beep phi”ed
in the front of the column, were harried
to the assistance of the mounted Infan
try as fast as oxen and mules could
travel over the great rolling hills sur
rounding Pretoria. The guns were sup
ported by Stevens’ brigade of Pole-Ca
rew's division and, after a few rounds,
drove the enemy from their position.
“The Boers then attempted to turn our
left flank, in which they were again
foiled by the mounted Infantry and yeo
manry, supported by Maxwell's brigade
of Tucker’s division. As. however, they
still kept pressing our loft Tear, I sent
word to lan Hamilton, who.was advanc
ing three miles to our left, to incline to
ward us, and fill up the gap between the
two columns. This finally checked the
enemy, who were driven backward to
ward Pretoria. I hoped we would have
been able to follow them up, but the days
now are very short in this part of Ihe
world, and after nearly two hours march
ing and fighting, we had to btvuoao on
the ground gained during the day.
“The Guards’ brigade is quite near tho
southermost fort by which Pretoria Is
defended, and less than four miles from
the town.
“French, with the Third and Fourth
Cavalry brigades, and Hutton’s new South
Wales Mounted Rifles, is north of Pre
toria.
"Broadwood'e brigade Is between
French's and Hamilton’s columns, and
Gordon is watching the right flank of the
main force, not far from tho railway
bridge at IrOne station, which was de
stroyed by the enemy.
“Our casualties, I hope, are very few.”
SURRENDER OF JOHANNESBURG.
Nome Significant Incident* of the
Arrival of the Orltlah.
Johannesburg? Friday, June I.—The
entry of an armed force yesterday into
this large, modern, populous town was a
peculiarly memorable one. Soon after 10
o’clock Lord Roberts and his staff left the
camp, followed by the Guards and Steven
son's brigades and a few newspaper corre
spondents. Preparations had been made
on a large scale to welcome the field mar
shal.
At about 2 o'clock cheer* tn the distance
heralded the approach of lord Robert*.
The din Increased and became deafening
as the commander-in-chief, calm ami col
lected, leading the column into the square,
reached tlie front of the court house, over
which the Free State flag still flew.
After his Introduction to the chief offi
cials, Lord Roberts dismounted and enter
ed the courthouse, tnude a short speech
accepting the surrender of the place, and
requesting the officials to retain their
offices for tlie present. Gen. Rwlierts af
terwards left the building, remounted, and
the vlerkleur was hauled down, amidst
hurrah* from file nondescript population.
But there was visible emotion cm the part
of many of the rugged burghers. Tears
All Fever Is Curable.
There are very few people In this world who are so well but that s
bottle of Johnson's Chill anil Fever Tonic would not make them (eel
better. Thl* I* a great medicine. It rare* fever quickly. It sharpest
the appetite. Put* the liver la the brat possible condition. Take n
coarse of Johnson’* Tonle and feel yoang again. Price DO cents If it

“I have sold all of Johnson’s Tonic that I had on hand except four bottles.
It acted like a charm. Every bottle has given entire satisfaction. It broke Into
fevers of the highest type where doctors had failed. I recommend Johnson’s Tonlo
to be the best fever medicine pn earth. It goes like hot cakes when fever Is oa

streamed down the faces of these big
bearded men at the sight of the loss of the
flag they had fought for so well.
After a brief interval Ihe rattling of
drum* and shrieking of fifes heralded the
approach of Gen. Pole-Carew's Guards.
The troops were drawn up around the flag
staff and the Union Jock, worked by Lady
Roberts, was hoisted, the fifes playing
“God Save the Queen.” As the muslo ceas
ed a great cheering broke out, followed by
a chorus of "God Save the Queen."
There was a significant incident. Dur
ing the singing of the anthem, a tall
Free State artillerist, who was watching
the ceremony, refused to remove his hat,
and a bystander tried to force him to do
so, when a British guardsman forcefully
Interposed, saying: "Leave him alone.
Ho fought for his flag. You are too cow
ardly to fight for any flag!”
A march past subsequent to the march
through the town closed the ceremony.
Lord Roberts' headquarters was at a
small inn tn an orange grove. There was
n characteristic scene there at the close
of his victorious day. One of the staff
officers approached tn order to discuss
a matter of Importance, and found the
field marshal with tho innkeeper's llttla
•laughter on his knee, trying to teach her
to write. When the officer Interrupted
I-ord Roberts looked up with a smUe, and
said: "Don’t come now. Can’t you ses
I am busy.”
MIDSUMMER IN ARIZONA.
A Region Where the Noondoy Heat
Break* the Thermometer.
From the Phoenix (Ariz.) GraphtO.
The cottonwoods have shed their cater
pillars; there has been a thunderstorm:
mesqulte wood has fallen In price; In
dians are selling bows and arrows; the
rose and the oleander have long been out;
oranges are tn bloom; the umbrella tree
is putting out Its leaves; last summer's
suit has been cleaned and pressed; tha
small boy has gone swimming tn the can
al; the wise man stays up nights and
steals Irrigation water from his neigh
bors; alfalfa is most ready to cut; straw
berries are nearly ripe; summer will soon
be here, and the Phoenix summer bed
room will soon be necessary.
Phoenix sleeps out of doors In the sum
mer, and the bed room Is bom of that
necessity. It Is on stilts; Is built of wire
screen of fine mesh, for the Phoenix mos
quito is microscopic In size. It Is furnish
ed, according to the taste of the occupant,
with Interior curtains, to keep out the
morning sun. the gaze of the curious
and the sand-storm.
The bed Is a cot of canvas or woven
wire, covered, perhaps, with a sheet, bqt
ev-n a sheet feels like a feather bed on
a Phoenix summer night. The bed cover
ing is the roof of the bed room, and care
less folks who consult their comfort only
don’t wear nightshirts.
Phoenix is proud of Its climate during
eight months of the year, but It doesn't
talk much In public about Its midsummer.
U Is a right warm day when the Govern
ment Weather Bureau doesn’t know what
the sun temperature is and Is unable to
determine It, and that la how hot it gets
In Phoenix. I called on Observer Burns
one day last July and asked him what
the "official” temperature was In ths
sun. He said he did not know, and that
the government couldn’t afford to experi
ment to that end. He said he had attempt
ed to catch the sun temperature during
(he summer of 1898, and had broken a 93
thermometer in Ihe attempt. To pleas#
my curiosity he hung a thermometer In
the sun, watched It until It registered
136 degrees, and then took it in, fearing It
would breuk.
