WITH BRITAIN
State Department Answers Ex*
Consul Macrum’s Charges.
REPLY IS SENT TO THE HOUSE
Hay Says No Report Was Made
Regarding Complaint of
English Interference,
The answer of the state department
to the h ouse resolution calling for in
formation regarding certain charges
made by late Consul Macrum was
transmitted to the house Wednesday
by the president. It is signed by
Secretary Hay nnd after citing the
resolution, says:
“Answering the first part of the
resolution: The department of state
has been in regular communication
by mail and telegraph with Charles
E. Macrum, late consul of the United
States at Pretoria, South African re
public, since his entrance upon the
duties of the office. Communications
made to him have been answered and
the execution of instructions sent has
been reported by him. His dispatches
to the department, forwarded through
the consulate at Lourenzo Marques,
have during that time been regularly
received.
“The only instance of complaint in
respect to the transit of the mails for
Lourenzo Marques and Pretoria was
in November last, when a temporary
stoppage of the mails occurred at
Cape Town, against which Mr. Ma
crum and the consul at Lourenzo
Marques protested.
“Arrangements were made for the
prompt delivery of the consular mails
to the United States consul general at
Cape Town, by whom the mail for Mr.
Hollis and Mr. Macrum was forward
ed to Lourenzo Marques. The delay
lasted but a few days, and has not re
curred so far as the department is ad
vised. After that time the depart
ment’s mail for Lourenzo Marques
and Pretoria was sent by a neutral
route which, it appears, was known
and open to Mr. Macrum and Mr. Hol
lis as early as November IGth last.
“No obstacle, therefore, is here
known to have existed since then to
Mr. Macrum’s unhampered correspon
dence with the department of state.
“At no time while at his post did
Mr. Macrum report to the department
any instance of violation by opening
or otherwise of his official mail by the
British censor at Durban or by any
person or persons whatsoever, there
or elsewhere. Neither has he so re
ported since ho left Pretoria, althouoh
having the amplest opportunity to do
so by mail tvhile on the way home and
in person when he reported to the de
partment upon his return.
“According to the second part of
the aforesaid resolution, the uuder
si.qned, secretary of state, has the
honor to say that there is no truth in
the charge that a secret alliance exists
between the republic of the United
States and the empire of Great Brit
ain; that no form of secret alliance is
possible under the constitution of tlio
Unite! States inasmuch as treaties
require the advice and consent of the
senate, or understanding exists be
tween the United States and any other
nation.
“Department of State, February 20,
1900. John Hay.”
The president’s message conveying
this report gave a categorical answer
to the questions embodied in the reso
lution and did not refer to the action
of the department in relation to the
matter. It has since been given out
at the state department that inquiries
set on foot immediately after the pub
lication of Macrum’s first statement
developed the fact that the British
government had no knowledge of any
interference with the correspondence
of the United States consulate at Pre
toria, and the additional fact that if
any interference had taken place it was
contrary to instructions.
business block burned.
Disastrous Fir* VUit* Decatur, Ala., ad
Much Property ltulned.
Decatur, Ala., was visited by a de
structive fire Tuesday morning which
swept away the major portion of one
of the main business blocks of the
south side of town. ,
All fire companies were quickly on
hand, but their utmost efforts only
availed to save the few frame stores.
Six buildings, all brick, were partly
burned with entire contents, except
one, from which some goods were re
moved. The losses are estimated at
8150 000, but a conservative estimate
places the loss at something less than
8100,000.
SUITS CONSOLIDATED
Agreement Reached For Trial of
Kentucky Issues.
BOTH FACTIONS ARE SATISFIED
Marshall ami Deckliam Will Offer No
Hindrance to the Court
Proceedings.
The contests over the state offices
in Kentucky have been very much
simplified by an agreement entered
into at Louisville, Wednesday, be
tween the attorneys for the Repub
licans and the Democrats representing
both sides and straightening out the
legal tangle over the multiplicity of
injunction suits for the title of the
governorship.
The agreement is that there shall
be a speedy trial iu the courts on an
agreed case, involving all of the issues,
the first hearing to be before Judge
Emmett Field, at Louisville. The
agreement, in part, is as follows:
There are now pending in the Jef
ferson circuit court two suits entitled,
respectively, W. S. Taylor vs. J. C. W.
Beckham et al., and another suit in
the name of J. C. W. Beckham vs. W.
S. Taylor and John Marshall is to be
filed in said court. Process has been
served in the two first named suits and
the defendants agree at once to enter
their appearance in the last named
suit. All of said suits are to be placed
upon the ordinary docket nnd tried by
the court on the law and facts.
“One answer nnd the subsequent
pleadings in the first two named suits
may be filed and applied in both cases,
anil they are to be consolidated; the
same evidence shall be heard in all the
cases, the three cases being tried and
heard together.
“The evidence shall be by deposi
tion or record unless otherwise agreed
upon, and shall be taken as soon as
possible, say within ten days from the
time the pleadings are closed.
“Nothing herein shall be construed
to waive any objection to the relevancy
or competency of any and ail evidence
introduced or offered on the trial of
the said cases. When the said cause
shall have been finally determined in
the court of appeals it is hereby
agreed that all parties hereto will
unite in a request to the said court to
docket said cases immediately aud ad
vance them for hearing at the earliest
day upon which the court can hear
them.
“It is further agreed that on such
appeal the original evidence used in
the circuit court, if voluminous, can
be taken to the court of appeal, with
out being copied, thereby saving time
and cost.
“Should any party, after the final
determination of the causes by the
court of appeals desire a writ of error
to the supreme court of the Uuitod
States to review such determination it
is agreed that such writ shall be im
mediately applied for.
“The said causes shall be tried in
the Jefferson circuit court by Judge
Emmett Field, before whom one of
the said causes is now pending.
“It is further agreed by the parties
to the said suits that they will submit
and abide by all the orders aud judg
ments of the courts made in said suits,
reserving, however, the legal right to
stay proceedings on such odds or judg
ments in any manner provided by
law.”
There is general elation in political
circles over the agreement, as it is con
ceded the matter will be pressed to a
sjieedy finish. Both sides are pleased.
OHIO REPRESENTATIVE
Attacks President’s Position as Regards
Porto Klco Bill.
A Washington dispatch says: For
the first time in the debate upon the
Porto Rican tariff bill the voice of a
Republican was raised against the
bill. Representative Bromwell, of
Ohio, opposed it on the ground of
policy aud not of constitutionality.
His hostility, however, was not so ab
solute, as he announced his intention
of voting for it if the substitute
failed.
The other speakers Wednesday were
Mr. Ray, of New York, and Mr. Long,
of Kansas, for the hill, and Mr. Henry,
of Texas, against it. The republicans
have decided to hold a caucus or con
ference on the bill Saturday night.
Although there are said to be between
twenty and thirty Repmblicans who
are hostile to the measure the Repub
lican leaders who are canvassing the
situation say that no more than four
or five will cast their votes against it.
They also say several Democrats will
support it.
The only Democrat who is out
spoken in his advocacy of the bill is
Mr. Davey, of Louisiana. He repre
sents one of the largest cane sugar
districts in the south. Some others,
including Mr. Meyer and Mr. Brous
sard, of Louisiana; Mr. Devries, of
California; Mr. Davis and Mr. Spark
man, of Florida, are said to be in the
doubtful column, but the Democratic
whip says that only Mr. Davey and
Mr. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, will vote
for it.
