my against a fellow member by search
ing the various channels "through
which anonymous calumniation circu
lates in a political campaign and with
hands no cleaner than those with which
It deals, hurls it over a body of delib
erative men."
Mr. Cockran denied thq charge that
he had received $15,000 from the Pal
mer and Buckner Campaign Commit
tee. He also denied in the most posi
tive manner that he had ever received
money for supporting President Mc-
Kinley’s election in 1896. He denied
the charge that he ever was a green
backer.
If Mr. Dalzell believed the charges
he had brought against him. Mr. Cock
ran said, it showed him (Mr. Dalzell)
in a pitiable state. He was in infamy
and did not know it. He had confessed
tc his own party’s corruption. He
had proved, if he had proved anything,
that the presidential election Jiad been
purchased. It had been charged that
$16,000,000 had been spent by the Re
publican Campaign Committee in that
campaign. Mr. Cockran said he had
never believed these charges himself.
Demanded Investigation.
As to defending himself, he said: "I
can always protect myself from the
gentleman from Pennsylvania, by
choosing my own side of the street.
Before I sit down. I shall ask this
House to agree with me on this, that
if what the gentleman has said Is true.
1 am unworthy of its membership: if
what he said be false, he is unworthy
of membership."
Mr. Cockran was interrupted wtth
loud cheers from his Democratic col
leagues. He continued:
"This will take a wider range than
our personal virtues. I shall ask for
a committee to Investigate this charge,
and shall ask for power to send for
persons and papers.”
Mr. Cockran then read his resolution
reciting that Dalzell had charged that
Cockran had been paid money by a
political party for support of a candi
date for the presidency: that if the
charge was true it established such
conduct as should unfit any man for
membership in the House, and provid
ing for a committee of five members
appointed by the speaker, with power
to compel attendance of witnesses for
the investigation of such charge.
Would Show Debauchery.
Loud Democratic applause followed
Mr. Cockran's reading of the resolution.
He then resumed and said that when
that resolution was adopted in all its
terms something more important than
his conduct or the action of the mem
ber from Pennsylvania would be made
clear.
“We ■will see,” he said, “just how the
election in 1896 was conducted, and
we will see whether, in fact, the presi
dency was bought or purchased or
whether it was won in honor
able political conflict or whether
It represented, as the gentle
man from Pennsylvania would have
use believe, the skill in corruption
which was possessed by the managers
of the Republican organization.” If it
were true, he said, that that campaign
resulted in such use of money as had
been described, there was but one pos
sible safety for the republic.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania,
Mr. Cockran said, had asked him
"Who it was that we would choose for
our standard bearer. I said there
was a man out in Missouri whom we
might choose to nominate as our stand
ard bearer because the main issue of
this campaign will not be ‘How we
are to collect revenue,’ but,” he said,
amid Democratic cheers, “how we are
to keep the thieves from stealing its
proceeds.”
Continuing, Mr. Cockran, still facing
the Republicans, said: “You have a
distinguished candidate already named,
in the White House, who is strident
of voice in professions of reform. W r e
always have elevated Democrats to
dignity who have known how to prose
cute the men who violated- the law and
brought reform into disgrace. Your
candidate denounces corruption be
tween elections and utilizes them at
the primaries.”
Applauded Mention of Parker.
More Democratic cheering and ap
plause greeted this utterance. "We
will,” he said, “go before the people,
whoever may be nominated, whether it
be the young giant of reform who
has won his spurs in Missouri, whether
it be that upholder of the law who
administers Justice in New York”—at
this reference to Judge Parker the
Democrats broke out into unrestrained
applause, which did not for some time
subside —“or whether it be the man
whose great achievement on the Mon
roe doctrine evoked the sentiment
which the gentleman from Pennsylva
nia read from my speceh in the usual
garbled method, suppressing the con
text.”
Mr. Cockran denied having referred
to the United States as an “Interna
tional hoodlum."
The Democrats went wild as Mr.
Cockran sat down, and the Speaker
found difficulty in restoring order.
Mr. Cockran then asked immediate
action on his resolution as a matter
of privilege, as did also Mr. Williams,
but Mr. Grosvenor objected, the
speaker refused to rule on the point
of order, and the House adjourned
until 10 o’clock to-morrow.

ARE BUILDING PONTOONS
TO CROSS THE STREAM.
Liao Yang, April 27.—0n April 23 the
Russians observed that the Japanese
were making preparations to cross the
Yalu river.
On the night of April 25 two steam
ers and two torpedo boats were noticed
at the mouth of the river., They ap
proached the shore at daylight and
the Japanese commenced to build a
pontoon on the left tributary. A sec
ond pontoon Is being prepared ten
miles up the stream.
At 3 -o'clock the same afternoon the
Japanese occupted the island of Sam
olindo, to which they carried pontoon
boats, etc.
The night passed quietly, the tor
pedo boats maintaining a careful watch
in case the troops ashore should be
attacked, and examining the mouth of
the river by means of searchlights.
At 3:40 o’clock next morning the
Japanese crossed the river near the
village of Tchindiagon (?), where, how
ever, the Russian outposts commenced
firing upon them.
The Russian advance guards had
been furnished with a small gun and
they succeeded in destroying the pon
toon constructed near Wiju. The
wrecked pontoon was carried away by
the current and further Japanese
bridging operations ceased, but the
Japanese continued to cross by another
pontoon southward of Wiju.
A Japanese column, with a battery
of artillery, approached Turenchen at
midday, but the Russian skirmishers
met them with sharp firing, evidently
giving them trouble, as they retired
with the battery, which made no at
tempt to answer the Russian fire.
NOT THE RUSSIANTLAN
TO RESIST THE ADVANCE.
St. Petersburg, April 26.—The Cen
sors’ Committee did not give out to
night the dispatches received to-day
regarding the movements of the Japa
nese across the Yalu river. It was
intimated that further information had
been received that the Japanese had
crossed the river, but this was accom
panied by a statement that the suc
cess of the enemy should in no sense
be regarded as an important victory,
the Russians having no intention of
x-igorously contesting the passage,
their plan being to annoy the enemy
as much as possible.
It is ex’ident front the dispatches re
ceived here that in order to render a
crossing feasible, the Japanese made
a feint on Tatung Kau, xvhile the
troops actually crossed some miles up
the river near Tchangdjiou. Two com
panies were first throxvn into Manchu
ria and unquestionably entrenched
and immediately under the cover of
their guns reinforcements crossed.
It is regarded as probable that when
these troops are in sufficient numbers
they will march along the Manchurian
bank of the Yalu in the direction of
Antung, near which lies the road on
which the adx’ance can continue to Fen
Hoang Tchang, xvhere the first deter
mined stand of the Busslans will be
made. '

JAPANESE COMPANIES
FORCED A YALU CROSSING.
Liao Yang, April 26.—Between last
night and this morning the Japanese
forced a passage of the Yalu, txvo com
panies crossing between Tchangdjiou
and Siaopoussikhe.
Heavy firing xxas heard near Latung
Kau, in which it is believed the Jap
anese made a feint in order to dis
tract attention from the real point of
passage.
So far no bridge spans the river. It
is believed the Russian fire succeeded
in destroying the floating parts of the
Japanese bridges.
TWO POINTS SETTLED
IN NEGRO QUESTION.
No Social Equality and Education
Separately, Sayn Galloway.
Birmingham, Ala., April 26.—The
seventh meeting of the conference for
education in the South convened in
Birmingham to-night. The first ses
sion was devoted to hearing addresses.
Col. T. G. Bush delivered the address
of welcome to the visitors to Ala
bama, in behalf of Gov. Jelks, who
is ill in New Mexico. President Robert
C. Ogden of New York responded.
Mr. Ogden defined the object of the
conference, saying that the party did
not come to the South to advance
theories, but to learn of the educational
conditions existing here, especially in
Alabama.
Bishop Galloway of Jackson, Miss.,
also addressed the conference. His ad
dress was the feature of the first ses
sion. Bishop Galloway devoted his
entire time to a discussion of the ne
**ro auestion.
Bishop Galloway said that two points
in the negro question had already been
settled in the South. First, they would
never be equal socially; second, they
would always be educated separately
and in different buildings. This was
applauded by both whites and negroes
in the audience.
The Jefferson theater, where the ses
sion was held, was crowded to its
capacity. Much enthusiasm was man
ifested. The conference will ba in
session until Thursday night, when
President Ogden’s party will leave for
New York.
The party arrived in Birmingham this
afternoon, coming from Montevallo,
where they visited the Alabama Girls'
Industrial Institute to-day.

Govrrnur at A’aldontn.
Valdosta. Ga., April 26.—Memorial
Day was celebrated here with unpre
cedented enthusiasm to-day, business
being suspended, and a large crowd
turned out to hear the address by Gov.
Terrell.
The procession to the cemetery was
led by the Valdosta Vldettes, under
Capt. Fender, followed by the Gov
ernor’s carriage, in which also rode
Judge Emory Speer, Mayor Briggs and
Maj. Varnedoe. Then came the
Daughters of the Confederacy, school
children and citizens generally. Mr.
W. D. Peeples was marshal of the
day, with J. M. Harvey and S. M. Var
nedoe, hig assistants. At the ceme
tery an excellent musical programme
was rendered, followed by a recitation
by Anna Ashley.
Mr. Roy Powell Introduced the Gov
ernor in a very happy manner, and the
executive captix-ated his large audi
ence by one of the most practical ad
dresses ever delivered here. He said
in the outset that he would talk, not
as the Governor, but as a plain South
ern man, turning his office over in the
meantime to his lieutenant governor,
Col. W. S. West, also seated on the
platform, and xx’ho happens to be a
candidate for president of the Senate.
He claimed that the best proof of the
righteousness of the South's cause was
in the purity of the Southern leaders.
In eulogizing Lee as the greatest of
Southern leaders, he stated that Lee
would have been great under any cir
cumstances or conditions. But in ad
dition to his greatness he led a great
army.
He referred to the fact that the
North had 700,000 foreigners in the
field, while the South had only her
own brave sons. He also said that
every other state gave men
to the Northern army, Georgia did not
give a one. Virginia and South Caro
lina, it was true, furnished negro sol
diery but Georgia did not even con
tribute a negro company. He re
ferred to Lord Wolsey’s magazine ar
ticle, in which he states that the world
furnished five great generals, Hannibal,
Caesar, the Earl of Marlborough, Na
poleon and Robert E. Lee.
There were many strong points in
the Governor's speech and he was
loudly applauded. Gov. Terrell was
given a brilliant reception to-night by
the Daughters of the Confederacy at
Mr. J. N. Griffin’s home. He left at
midnight for Atlanta.
The Day at Americas.
Americus, Ga., April 26.—Five thou
sand people witnessed and participated

dren of the public schools joined in this
beautiful tribute, the veterans assem
bling 100 strong.
Mr. Harry Alexander of Atlanta de
livered the annual oration, , a master
piece of eloquence and finished diction,
which evoked the greatest enthusiasm
and applause. He was Introduced by
Janies Taylor, Esq., of Americus.

No Doubt About Coffee In Tills Case.
Coffee sickness takes all kinds of
forms, especially In children frequent
ly causing such severe nervous trouble
as St. Vitus’ Dance, epileptic fits, etc.
A case In point;
“Two years ago my son, then 10
years old, was attacked with epileptic
fits and a trouble like lockjaw.
“We called In our family doctor
and he decided the trouble was a
nervous disease and might be caused
by the use of coffee.
“He said we must give up coffee,
and we did and tried Postum, and It
was not long before the boy was fully
recovered from his trouble.
‘Then. we gave him coffee again
and It served him the same way, but
when we once more Shut oft the coffee
and gave him Postum he got well and
is well to-day, and has no more at
tacks of lock-jaw and no more fits.
“We use Postum altogether now,
never have coffee in the house at all,
for we are convinced it is a deadly
poison when it can work such ills as
it did for our son.” Name given by
Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.
In the light of such testimony and
the advice of thousands of physicians
who have proved that coffee is to some
people a poisonous drug the parent
who allows a child to drink coffee (tea
is almost as bad) no matter how weak,
Is taking grave chances of ruining the

ROLLINS COLLEGE RAISES
A LARGE ENDOWMENT FUND
Winter Park. Fla., April 26.—This
has been a red letter day for Winter
Park and for Rollins College. A year
ago, Dr. D. K. Pearsons of Chicago,
who has done much for institutions of
learning, proposed to the management
of Rollins to contribute 250,000 toward
an endowment fund, on condition that
the college raise an additional 2150,000.
The date fixed for the raising of the
money was April 14, 1904.
With commendable enterprise the
friends of th Institution set About
raising the required amount. Several
other prominent Chicago people Inter
ested themselves and contributed lib
erally. The required amount was sub
scribed by the date specified, but for
obvious, reasons it was not publicly
announced at that time. President
Blackman of the college Is determined
to increase the fund to a quarter of a
million, and other friends are equally
determined* that this shall be done.
The exact amount of the supscrip
tlons, as announced to-day. Is 2206,285,
or 26,285 more than enough to secure
Dr Pearson’s contribution, and that
much of a starter on the additional
250,000 which It is proposed to raise.
The first building erected in Winter
Park was "The Roger House.” a mod
est sized hotel or boarding house,
which was kept by Mr. and Mrs. E. A.
Rogers from the day of its comple
tion until a few fnonths ago. It has
since been greatly enlarged and has
played an important part In the his
tory and development of this delight
ful and popular Southern resort town.
